As of 17:45 on July 21, the box office of " " has accumulated 1.5 billion in the 6 days since its release. At this point, the box office of the movie starring Shen Teng has exceeded 35 billion, becoming the first starring actor in Chinese film history to have a box office of more than 35 billion.
Originally, it was "Catch a Baby" that became a hit, winning all regions in the country and becoming the single-day box office champion for nine consecutive days. However, with the fierce release of the movies "Deadpool 3 " and "Deadpool 4" this weekend, major ticket sales platforms have lowered their expectations for "Catch Me" and have given up on film schedules. However, I am afraid that it is not just the impact of new films that has caused the subsequent lack of box office growth of "Catch a Baby", but also the fact that there are some problems in the movie itself.
Audiences prefer subject matter
This movie performed very well, not only because of the excellent content of this movie, but first of all, its subject matter has certain innate advantages.
Comedy is the more preferred type of movie viewing among audiences nowadays. This year, there were several films with very average performance, such as "Mo Road Spending Money" and other films that did well at the box office. In modern social life, urbanites are relatively depressed. Trivial things come at us from all sides, and we always want everyone to find a suitable way to release themselves. This is why Shuangju can be shot accurately every time. Comedy also has the same approach in this regard. They all allow everyone to escape reality for a short time and immerse themselves in a world where laughter and laughter have nothing to do with their own life worries.
Moreover, not only that, the appearance of "Catch a Baby" is a shot in the arm in this long-sluggish movie market. After all, there hasn't been a movie worthy of discussion for a long time, and the opportunities encountered by "Catch a Baby" are indeed very conducive to its topic fermentation.
Actors add points for laughs
From a comedy point of view, this was originally a 60-point comedy that might have just passed, but with the support of Shen Teng and Ma Li, , the 60-point score was pulled to 90-point. . It is no longer that important whether this movie is chocolate-flavored shit or food-flavored chocolate. One thing we can be sure of is that with the buffs of Shen Teng and Ma Li, they can always make mediocre movies better. A joke blossoms.
The same joke, told by Shen Teng and Ma Li, is funny to others. Comedy is a thing that sometimes really depends on the performance of the person. The audience has actually experienced similar scenes, such as Zhao Benshan and Stephen Chow. No matter how their disciples imitate their teachers, they can never reach the state of unity between nature and man. The same is true for Shen Teng and Ma Li.
In addition, the two people are working together again after a long time. It has solved a lot of regrets and given plenty of benefits to CP fans who like the two of them.
I felt sad after laughing.
Is the movie funny? Not bad, but after laughing, everyone was left with a feeling of melancholy. Because when watching the movie, one non-stop laugh point after another dispelled in time the very realistic and frustrating parts of the movie. After laughing, what is left is endless melancholy for everyone.
This movie is not like the previous happy twists " shy iron fist " and " Charlotte's troubles ". It is based on something that is completely impossible to happen in real life. It is either time travel or gender swapping between men and women. This The movie can really happen to you, me and him.
In addition, college entrance examination education is a topic that almost every family in China cannot avoid. The seemingly absurd phenomenon of the rich pretending to be poor actually hides the heartbreaking gap between the rich and the poor in many societies today.These are the heartbreaking points. When everyone was immersed in watching the movie, Shen Teng and Ma Li were so amused that they didn't know anything about it. But once they stepped out of the cinema, the more they watched the movie, the more they realized that something was really wrong in it.
Mom and Dad pretend to be good for you, and once they lie to you, they have been lying for more than ten years. I have grown up under 360-degree surveillance cameras, and everything around me is fake. Of course, we cannot deny that his parents' love for him is real, but this real love created a 100% illusion for him. After he became an adult, he exposed all these lies. How should he face the world around him? The movie did not dare to continue filming. However, the audience couldn't stand it anymore and walked out of the cinema to start thinking wildly. Ever since, the more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became. The laughter and laughter brought about by watching the movie can no longer be counted at this time.
Then, when the audience frequently discusses that the movie becomes more and more terrifying the more they watch it, that it is not a comedy at all, but reveals a very scary problem, some viewers will be dissuaded. At this point, the film's biggest advantage as a comedy disappears. Wait until the weekend when good movies such as "Deadpool" will be released one after another. The advantage is no longer there, and subsequent box office growth will be weak.
