With the release of " decrypting ", the biggest suspense of this summer's film will be revealed.
Although the two super blockbusters "Feng Shen 2" and "Nezha 2" failed to catch up with the summer season, the gathering of the three box office kings Shen Teng, Xu Zheng, and Chen Sicheng also made the battle for the summer season champion suspenseful, let alone The new films of the three people are all based on the themes they are best at.
Unexpectedly, the box office battle that the audience was looking forward to turned into a crushing game for Shen Teng alone.
lost more than 300 million? Chen Sicheng's new film is out, and Shen Teng's only rival for the summer title is Xu Zheng!
"Decryption" premieres on August 3rd. Before the release of
, Chen Sicheng's blockbuster was regarded as a strong contender for this summer's box office championship and Shen Teng's biggest rival.
According to reports, the production cost of the film is as high as 500 million. Chen Sicheng has brought over famous directors, superstars, various top special effects teams and shooting equipment. It is bound to have a turnaround in word-of-mouth and box office. After all, Chen Sicheng's last directorial work "" Mozart in Outer Space " lost miserably.
I didn’t expect that “Decryption” would fail on its premiere day.
's first-day box office was only 40.86 million. Shen Teng's " " has been in theaters for 19 days and still has a single-day box office of only 80 million, which almost doubled "Decryption". Even if the screening results of the previous week are included, "Decryption" has a box office of only 80 million. "The cumulative box office is only 133 million, while the cumulative box office of "Catch Baby" has reached 650 million on the first day of release.
Before its release, the media generally predicted that the final box office of "Decryption" would be around 3 billion.
But with the current trend, whether the final box office of "Decryption" can exceed 500 million is a question. Let alone the summer championship, it is also doubtful whether Chen Sicheng can make back his money this time. Even if the final box office of the movie exceeds 500 million, according to the photo Calculating 37% of the box office, and excluding publicity and marketing expenses, "Decryption" lost more than 300 million, and together with Jackie Chan's " Legend " became the biggest loss-making blockbuster this summer. Although
has just been released, Chen Sicheng has already been eliminated from the summer championship competition.
plus Nicholas Tse's "Customs Front ", Jackie Chan's "Legend", Marvel's " Deadpool and Wolverine " and other blockbuster new films were not as good as expected.
Shen Teng's only rival for the summer title is Xu Zheng's " Retrograde Life ". Will
be a dark horse? "Retrograde Life" has polarized reputation. Is Shen Teng's summer championship confirmed?
After the box office setback of "Decryption", the only blockbusters that have not been released this summer are "White Snake: The Floating Life " and "Retrograde Life".
Limited by the animation theme and story, the box office limit of "White Snake: The Floating Life" is actually not high. The box office of "Chang'an 30,000 Miles", the producer's best-performing follow-up animation, was 1.824 billion, while the box office of the second part of the "White Snake" series was . 580 million. "White Snake: The Floating Life" has a mediocre reputation at the screening. It is most likely supported by fans of the series. The box office is predicted to be around 400 million.
"Retrograde Life" is an adventure of Xu Zheng.
After "囧Mom", Xu Zheng has never had another hit movie. Due to the huge impact of switching from theaters to online premieres, Xu Zheng has not had a true director's work for four years. The last one he produced The producer's "My Heart Will Fly" failed miserably at the box office, which further made the film company lose confidence.
Xu Zheng paid for this "Retrograde Life" out of his own pocket, writing, directing and acting!
Due to Xu Zheng's last realistic comedy film "I'm Not the God of Medicine ", "Retrograde Life" naturally gained a lot of attention.
But we have to admit that Xu Zheng's acting skills are one of the reasons for the success of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", but the most important thing is the director Wen Muye and the producer Ning Hao. Whether Xu Zheng can produce a work comparable to "I'm Not the God of Medicine" still needs to be Put a question mark on it. The movie
has been released on August 3rd.
The current reputation is a bit polarizing. "Retrograde Life" does discuss many social issues and also cares for the lower class people such as takeaway riders. However, due to the middle-aged unemployment crisis, rebellious children, and mortgage pressure, people are forced to run takeaways to make ends meet. , and then saw the warmth and coldness of the world, and finally found the so-called meaning of life, celebrating funerals and encouraging people to do good.
"Retrograde Life" looks like a realistic movie, but it is actually a Spring Festival Gala sketch-style movie.
The degree between describing suffering and consuming suffering is difficult for the film and television industry to grasp.
If it gets a bad reputation after its release, "Retrograde Life" will most likely be taken away, but as long as it has half the quality of "I'm Not the God of Medicine," Xu Zheng may be the dark horse of this summer's film. In 2018, Xu Zheng's "I'm Not the God of Medicine" "God" defeated Shen Teng's " Xihong City's Richest Man " to win the summer championship.
Xu Zheng and Shen Teng are now competing against each other in the summer season for the second time. It seems that Shen Teng has a greater chance of winning!
