7 On July 13, this year's summer's biggest hit movie " " began to be screened on a large scale in many theaters in the mainland, which immediately set off a movie-watching craze.
"Catch the Baby" is a comedy film produced by the Happy Twist Team. The film is co-directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo, and co-stars Shen Teng and Ma Li . It belongs to the " Richest Man in Xihong City " series six years ago. Once it was released, it attracted the collective attention of domestic audiences. Most people believed that this film would definitely become the box office champion this summer.
After all, Happy Twist is one of the most popular comedy teams in China in recent years. Shen Teng and Ma Li are also the best partners in the domestic comedy film industry in recent years. Yan Fei and Peng Damo have also directed before. There are many comedy movies that have achieved high box office. The most important thing is that the cumulative box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" six years ago reached 2.547 billion yuan, successfully winning the runner-up in the summer box office that year.
has so many superior conditions. If "Catch a Baby" can't create a very impressive box office performance, it really doesn't make sense.
Perhaps seeing the desire and expectation of the audience, or perhaps in order to prevent the audience from waiting too long, "Catching Dolls", which was originally scheduled to be released on July 18 this year, soon chose to move it to July 16. Officially released. Also not long after, the film was announced again that it would be screened on a large scale in many domestic theaters starting on July 13 (Saturday) (actually it is almost the same as an official release).
The last movie to be screened on a large scale in China (that is, to be officially released in advance) was " or " which successfully won the box office championship in last summer's summer season. On the first day of screening, the film earned a box office of 172 million yuan, breaking the record for the highest first-day screening in China. On the second day, the film's single-day box office performance exceeded 210 million yuan. RMB once again broke the record for the highest single-day box office in China. In just three days, the cumulative box office of "Desperate" has reached nearly 540 million yuan. It once again broke the record for the highest box office in the history of Chinese movies.
The current "Catch a Baby" starring Shen Teng and others, like "All or Nothing" back then, was selected for large-scale screening three days in advance, and the first day of screening was also selected on Saturday, so take this It is completely reasonable to compare the box office performance of the two movies.
Under normal circumstances, a happy twist comedy movie like "Catch a Baby", which has various advantages and has a very high "content", should break China's box office record. On the first day when
was available for screening, the film only earned 156 million yuan, nearly 20 million less than "All or Nothing", and it only won the second place.
Also, during the screening period, "Catch a Baby" also received collective praise from most of the audience. Most people said that the film was very funny. Shen Teng and Ma Li are still the best combination in the Chinese comedy industry at the moment. Some people say that this film is the Chinese comedy version of "The Truman Show."
Overall, "Catch a Baby" is indeed a very good comedy film.
The audience's reputation is very good, coupled with Shen Teng's "golden brand", the box office performance of "Catch a Baby" on the first day of screening was still lost to "All or Nothing".
It seems that Shen Teng's box office appeal is no longer effective. What the audience values is the movie itself, not the individual actors.
