summer season is approaching, and the fierce competition in the domestic film market has gradually begun. In early July alone, many new films such as " Catch a Baby " and " Wild Child " have been officially announced to be released in mid-July.
However, because the momentum of Shen Teng and Ma Li's new film "Catch a Baby" is too strong, many new films have chosen to "avoid the war" and officially announced that they will be withdrawn and rescheduled at another date.
quit when they can't win. This kind of thing is common in the domestic film market, but the ending is without exception. Everyone "overturns", even the "king" Andy Lau is powerless.
Andy Lau's " Mr. Red Carpet " was the most acclaimed work during the Spring Festival last year. After experiencing the turmoil of its withdrawal, it was re-released, but to no avail, it did not change the fact that the film failed at the box office.
In the current domestic film market, there are many new domestic films competing on the same stage, such as " ", " welcome to my side ", among which Wang Chuanjun "silent kill" leads the box office, and it has a strong box office performance. Dust, fighting a good battle for the summer vacation.
However, "Welcome to Me" starring "traffic niche" Yu Shi "overturned", and its box office performance was far lower than expected.
On the first day of its release, the film only took in 10 million at the box office with about 20% of the film schedule.
On the third day, the film's box office plummeted to around 6.1 million (as of 21:00 on July 7), and the total box office was only over 31 million. The single-day box office was not even as good as the 16 days since its release. The "big bad movie" " there is a canteen near the cloud "!
To be honest, this box office performance is still surprising. After all, Yu Shi, who is at the peak of his debut, is given high hopes, and many fans even give him the title of "born filmmaker"!
But in fact, its new film "Welcome to Me" was an instant success after its release. Its box office and reputation were in sharp contrast to the crime film "Silence" which was released at the same time!
1. The plot is juvenile and cliché, and the audience called it "cannot afford to be hurt"
From the title, "Welcome to Me" seems to be a warm and healing work, but after entering the theater, the audience felt I found that I seemed to have walked into a "large embarrassing scene".
The plot of the film is designed to be quite juvenile and clichéd, full of the clichés of a bloody love drama. These elements may have moved people's hearts ten years ago, but today, when the audience's aesthetics are increasingly improving, they seem out of place and difficult for people to resonate with.
In contrast, "Silent Kill" has won widespread praise from the audience for its compact plot, profound themes (school violence and domestic violence, etc.) and the outstanding performances of the actors.
2. It is difficult for actors to resist the "box office", and Yu Shi cannot support it alone
In addition, the box office failure of the film "Welcome to Me" is not only due to the plot itself, but also the limitations of the cast are one of the reasons that cannot be ignored.
Although the male protagonist Yu Shi became popular with his role as "Ji Fa" in " Conferred Gods Part 1 " and became a leader among the new niches, it is obviously difficult for him to carry the entire team on his own. The film's box office success.
Especially when paired with a new generation actor like Wang Yinglu, the tacit understanding and acting gap between the two are even more exposed, which greatly affects the overall performance of the film.
Looking back at "Silent Kill", its cast is truly luxurious. The male protagonist Wang Chuanjun successfully created a complex and multi-faceted character image with his unique acting style and profound acting skills.
The heroine Zhang Junning added a touch of brightness to the film with her elegant temperament and delicate performance.
And the joining of veteran actors such as best actor Ng Zhenyu provides a solid guarantee for the quality of the film.
3. The gap is obvious
Let me ask you, if you are not a fan, just from the perspective of a passerby, one is a "vulgar romance movie with newcomers" and the other is a crime movie with big names, which one would you choose?
It is no exaggeration to compare the two films "Welcome to Me" and "Silence" together. The gap between the two is simply as big as heaven and earth.
Whether it is from plot design to actor performance, or from picture quality to music soundtrack, "Silent Kill" has shown a higher level and deeper connotation.
"Welcome to Me" seems to be a work that is eager for success, trying to attract the audience's attention by stacking various popular elements, but ignoring the essence of the movie-telling a good story.
Generally speaking, it is a fact that the film "Welcome to Me" did not perform well at the box office. The male protagonist Yu Shi is still too young to win the box office banner.
It is in sharp contrast to Wang Chuanjun's new film "Silent Kill". One single-day box office exceeded 100 million, while the other only made about 6.1 million. Now Wang Chuanjun's new film has beaten the romantic comedy "Welcome to Me"!
