Shen Teng and Ma Li's " catch the baby " has become a hot summer hit.
In the first half of the summer, there is currently only one " silently kills " with a box office close to 1 billion yuan. Compared with the same period last year, the start of the 2024 summer season is relatively dull. Fortunately, "Silence" got off to a good start in July, and "Catch Me" made a strong entry. As the weather was hot after "The Fall", the box office also became popular.
As the Xihong City Universe IP, "Catch a Baby" is directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo, happy twist directors who have created comedies such as " Charlotte's Trouble " and " The Richest Man in Xihong City ". The reason why "Catch Baby" is highly anticipated is largely due to the guarantee of its creative team in the creation of comedy films. Of course, the most important thing is that the powerful combination of starring Shen Teng and Ma Li returns to the big screen again. Previously, in 2015, "Charlotte", a collaboration between Shen Teng and Ma Li, took in a box office of 1.441 billion yuan, and in 2022, " Walking Alone on the Moon " took in a box office of 3.101 billion yuan. "Catch Me" is expected to become the "big hit" in this summer's movie market, and may hit the summer box office championship. In the
film, Shen Teng and Ma Li combine to raise a baby in a fool-like manner. It tells the story of the Ma family's couple raising their son through precepts and deeds. They painstakingly worked out a unique set of parenting strategies and opened up a new track in the reverse way of raising children. The setting of the movie is very dramatic. Ma Chenggang, played by Shen Teng, and Chunlan, played by Ma Li, disguise themselves as poor people, wear shabby clothes and live in an old house, trying to cultivate a tough and outstanding heir in a poor environment. The seemingly ordinary courtyard is actually an education base created by "Qian Ability". The youngest son Ma Jiye is secretly protected by a group of people, so some viewers compare it to "The Truman Show" + " Starting Line ".
