" Catch a Baby " has made theater movies lively. "Silent Kill", which topped the list before "Catch a Baby" was launched, even the "Catch a Baby" It didn't even get through the screenings, but it ranked first at the daily box office.
Now, on the first day of its official launch, "Catch a Baby" has already earned 520 million in box office, and has won 72% of the box office share.
"Legend of ", which was promoted almost at the same time as "Catch a Baby", only had a box office of 70 million in one week after its release. Even the daily box office performance of "Legend" was less than a fraction of "Catch a Baby".
Comparing the box office performance of current summer movies, it can better reflect the momentum of "Catch Me".
Under the growth trend of these data, the platform has also given a more official prediction. If nothing unexpected happens, the summer box office of "Catch a Baby" is expected to exceed 3.7 billion, becoming the biggest box office winner this summer.
Moreover, judging from the instant success of "Catch a Baby" upon its release, with the first wave of word-of-mouth ratings reaching 7.5 points, the film quality of "Catch a Baby" is the guarantee for the film's subsequent box office.
Netizens' evaluations of "Catch a Baby" are almost unanimous. Clicking on the Douban comment section of "Catch a Baby", some netizens affirmed the actors' acting skills, and some netizens affirmed the comedy baggage. Even the most annoying tears in comedy movies were recognized. The popularity of the movie
has filled the vacancy in the summer movie market, and at the same time allowed the leading actors to reap dividends again.
According to the battle report released by the platform, Ma Li has become the first female lead in Chinese film history to have a box office of more than 20 billion. From a thousand plays to a box office of 10 billion, Ma Li took one step at a time and finally kept up with Shen Teng.
You must know that at least before " Walking Alone on the Moon ", Ma Li was in a very embarrassing position. She had achievements and masterpieces, but she had no right to speak in the film field. After leaving the "Shen Ma" group, Ma Li was just mediocre. A mediocre fringe character even needs some low-budget comedy movies to maintain his exposure.
Once upon a time, the audience thought that Ma Li was falling behind, and the gap between her and Shen Teng was getting wider and wider. But they did not expect that starting from ", the killer is not calm ", Ma Li broke away from Shen Teng, but also got a lot of achievements. Beautiful film performance. This year, Ma Li starred in " Article 20 ", partnering with the national director Zhang Yimou. Her acting skills are highly recognized, and the box office results are quite outstanding.
Objectively speaking, the box office performance of "Catch a Baby" is excellent, and the audience is not surprised at all. However, Ma Li does not hype or market, and in the corner where the audience does not care, step by step, she has the strength, perseverance, and indeed a box office of 20 billion. Surprising.
Looking back now, Ma Li, who became famous together with Shen Teng, actually experienced a trough in her career for a longer period of time than Shen Teng. Today, Ma Li has become a female figure with the right to speak in the film field, and her acting career has truly made a qualitative difference. leap.
As for Shen Teng, he is still the biggest winner of the movie "Catch a Baby". With Shen Teng's celebrity status and box office appeal, it was completely expected that "Catch a Baby" had such outstanding box office results.
But even Shen Teng only has the ability to attract the first batch of audiences into the cinema. Whether the audience can continue to come in depends on the script and the quality of the movie.
In the past two years, Shen Teng often acted as a facade in comedy movies that were not even high-level on the Internet. He participated in special performances here and participated in promotions there. The most exaggerated " The Sun Never Sets Hotel " even had a human figure and a sign. , dare to put Shen Teng in the C position in the poster.
During that time, Shen Teng's reputation and popularity were also questioned.
Fortunately, Shen Teng adjusted the status in time. From "Walking Alone on the Moon" to "Manjiang Hong ", " Speedy Life 2", and now "Catch a Baby", several consecutive starring movies with reliable content have successfully coaxed movie fans.
Now Shen Teng’s cumulative box office has reached 34 billion. Not only is there a gap of tens of billions between him and Huang Bo, who is ranked third, but the gap between him and Wu Jing, who is ranked second, is getting wider and wider.
If we proceed according to the data predicted by the Maoyan platform, Shen Teng's box office will exceed 3 billion by the time "Catch a Baby" ends. With such a box office gap, it will be difficult for Wu Jing to catch up unless "The Wandering Earth 3" is released.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Jing’s box office accumulation is almost entirely based on big hits, such as the " Wolf Warriors " series, " Changjin Lake " series, and "The Wandering Earth" series, all of which rely on production and configuration. Blockbusters.
But Shen Teng is different. The comedy field he focuses on is basically supported by independent stories. In terms of box office appeal, Shen Teng is obviously more cost-effective, because as long as he stars in a comedy, regardless of configuration or cost, movie fans are willing to pay.
Shen Teng’s current achievements were achieved through half-effort and half-failure. In the past two years, Shen Teng began to dominate the screen, but for a long time before that, Shen Teng was absent from important schedules. During that period, He was hanging out in variety shows, and movie fans almost thought that Shen Teng didn't plan to return to the film market.
But now it seems that Shen Teng is not pursuing comedy movies anymore, but has more pursuits. Ordinary scripts and configurations really cannot invite Shen Teng. As long as the configuration is good enough, Shen Teng can even give up his comfort zone. Try some heavier subject matter.
For example, in "Man Jiang Hong", Zhang Da played by Shen Teng seems to be as timid as a mouse, but in fact he is loyal and courageous. Shen Teng's crying scene in this movie is almost heartbreaking that the audience has never experienced before.
Shen Teng proved with his acting skills that comedians acting out tragedies are really contagious.
But now the "Catch a Baby" has once again returned to Shen Teng's comfort zone. Shen Teng in this movie is in a natural and calm state. The few crying scenes are either fake or exaggerated, but this is exactly what he said. Shen Teng's comedy style is what the audience loves to watch.
I can only say that box office performance actually reflects an actor's ability and strength. Shen Teng's box office performance is proof of his acting strength. This really does not require trial or proof.
Even though Shen Teng is now at the top of the film field, but has received 0 awards, it will definitely not affect the audience's recognition of Shen Teng's comedy appeal and acting prowess.
On the contrary, last year there were 0 votes for Shen Teng’s Hundred Flowers Award, and this year Shen Teng was not shortlisted at all. Whatever the reason, the discussion point among netizens was that the award was “outrageous” rather than questioning Shen Teng.
After all, if Shen Teng is really not even qualified to be a finalist, the box office will prove it.
