This weekend, 10 new movies will be released.

Among them, the two new films that have attracted the most attention are undoubtedly the two new films of Wang Junkai and Shen Teng , which are "Hedgehog" and " Reverse Scales " respectively. Apart from the two new films having two characters in their names, their box office performance was also mediocre. Especially in "Reverse Scale" starring Shen Teng, the biggest attraction and highlight is Shen Teng, but obviously Shen Teng can't save a mediocre work.

Judging from the single-day box office, only "The Hedgehog" exceeded 30 million on the first day of release, but by the next day, both new films were less than 30 million.

In the end, the leader is " Alien: Death Ship ".

The 2024 summer vacation is coming to an end, and "Alien: Death Ship" will basically lead the final time, which may last until September. At the same time, the film will also become the third summer film to have a box office of over 500 million after " catches baby " and " silently kills ". Naturally, it is also the third highest-grossing film this summer. It will also become the second highest-grossing imported film of the year, second only to "Godzilla vs. Kong 2: Rise of an Empire".

"Alien: Death Ship" has filled the gap in domestic genre films, and the respect and inheritance of classic IP has ensured the quality of the film, allowing the film to achieve both word-of-mouth and box office success.

"The Hedgehog" and "Reverse Scale" are two films with completely different styles.

"Hedgehog" Starring Ge You and Wang Junkai, it is absurd and realistic. The

film spans nearly forty years, focusing on the growth of two generations, Wang Zhantuan and Zhou Zheng, an aunt and nephew. It presents various problems in Chinese-style families and explores topics such as life, youth, education, and family. In terms of style, such a film itself is niche and has already determined its box office ceiling. Although the current box office performance is a failure, it also exceeds expectations.

In terms of performance, Ge You is still impeccable and gave a textbook-level performance. He plays Wang Zhantuan, a young man who is frustrated in his pursuit of dreams, which makes him unable to extricate himself. He sinks deeper and deeper, and is eventually regarded as a "madman" and "weirdo" by his family, and is disliked by his relatives and friends. As everyone knows, he is the most sober and enlightened person.

And his nephew Zhou Zheng, played by Wang Junkai, is undoubtedly the person who can understand him best.

Although Wang Junkai's acting skills are still a little immature, he still has many amazing scenes and does not hold him back. In Zhou Zheng's story line, in addition to the interaction and connection with his uncle, he also presents traditional topics such as youth growth and family education. This is also the most common Chinese-style family and the most well-known to the public.

Of course, Zhou Zheng and his uncle Wang Zhantuan had similar life difficulties, but the two also achieved mutual healing and redemption and became friends throughout the year.

Although "Hedgehog" looks absurd, it is realistic and universal. It can bring people endless thought and healing, and it has great stamina!

has been backlogged for five years. Shen Teng made his debut in the gangster brother's crime film "Reverse Scale". It turns out that the backlog has been too long. The whole story is lackluster and quite cliche.

The film tells the story of the growth and family history of Zun Fei, played by Shen Teng, with depictions and interpretations of brotherhood, family affection, and love. Although it is a gangster-themed film, the overall scale is obviously not large, and the action scenes are also quite outdated and stylized. In the 1980s and 1990s, films like this were even more popular. In this day and age, a film like this would have no appeal.

In terms of image style, although it is very stylish and the atmosphere is quite textured, it obviously does not match the plot and story, and lacks storytelling and dramatic tension.

The biggest promotion and selling point of "Reverse Scale" is naturally Shen Teng, but Shen Teng alone cannot support the film. For Shen Teng, who is accustomed to comedy styles, such a unique style of Shen Teng is eye-catching at first, but the more you watch, the more problems you have, especially the characters are too thin and simple.

In fact, this is the third film starring Shen Teng. The first two are " Charlotte's Trouble " and " One Thought in Paradise ". The reason why Shen Teng starred in such a genre film was that he had not yet finalized his role at the time, so he wanted to try a different style of role. But the result was still a failure.

But I can still understand why Shen Teng starred in such a film.

From "The Hedgehog" to "Inverse Scale", the reasons for box office failure are self-evident. But in terms of quality, "The Hedgehog" is naturally superior, and it is also the best film of this summer. And "Reverse Scale" is a failure. Even with Shen Teng, he couldn't save this film. However, it wasn't too dismal at the box office, and was able to earn around 200 million in the end. For a film with such a long backlog, it's pretty good.

In the last week of the 2024 summer vacation, although there are many new films, none of them are competitive. "Alien: Death Ship" will undoubtedly continue to lead the way!
