As the first Chinese blockbuster with the theme of radiation disaster, "Burning City" tells the story of a natural disaster that accidentally caused a radiation leak. The city is in danger. Expert Fan Weili (played by Andy Lau) and senior executive Cecilia (played by Mo Wenwei) have different opinions on how to prevent this devastating disaster. Fire captain Li Jiefeng (played by Bai Yu) and his teammates were ordered to rush to the unknown front line. As everyone knows, there seems to be another hidden secret behind the natural disaster.

Regardless of the cast or plot, "Burning City" can be regarded as the most anticipated domestic film after the National Day release. At the same time, it is also the second collaboration between Andy Lau and Karen Mok after 19 years. Naturally, it is highly anticipated. expect.

The movie "Burning City" has also achieved good box office results after its release. The single-day box office is second only to the Hollywood blockbuster " Venom: The Last Dance ". As of now, the cumulative box office has exceeded 46 million in less than two days after its release. It is After the National Day release, the domestic film with the best box office performance.

In addition to the movie "Burning City", there is also a niche movie that has attracted a lot of attention this week, and it is "Yuanyang Tower. Horror"!

Just by looking at the name, you know that this is a horror film. Although domestic horror films have had their glory days, in recent years, due to various external conditions, it is rare to see domestic horror films in theaters. , so "Yuanyang House. The Horror" received quite a lot of attention before it was released.

Although it is a niche subject, the cast of the film is not weak. It is led by Li Meng and Su Xiaoding, and many actors familiar to the audience, such as Hailu and Zhao Yingzi, participate in the cast. Although the cast is not top-notch, But his acting skills and popularity are not weak either.

heroine Li Meng has appeared in many film and television works. Although she has caused a lot of controversy in the entertainment industry, in terms of acting skills, Li Meng is enough to kill many actors in an instant. In the past two years, Li Meng starred in " octagonal cage " " silently kills ", " moyuyunjian " and many other popular film and television dramas. Although they are all supporting roles, they have won unanimous recognition from the audience for their outstanding acting skills, especially the movie "The Octagonal Cage". A super high box office of 2.2 billion.

The male protagonist Su Xiaoding is well-known to the audience for his role as "Gao Qisheng" in "Crazy". Although his acting skills are average, he is still very popular. This is his first partnership with Li Meng, and it is also the first time that the two have appeared in the horror genre. film works.

The movie "Yuanyang House. The Horror" is a traditional Chinese horror film with a niche subject matter but no competitors at the same time. In addition, the cast is not bad, and it is expected to become a dark horse at the box office.

But what is unexpected is that so far, the cumulative box office of the film in the three days since its release has only exceeded 15 million, and the predicted box office is only 38.41 million.

You must know that the Chinese horror film " Beijing No. 81 " that hit theaters in 2014 achieved a box office of 412 million. The gap between the two is so huge. In addition to the quality of the film itself, the box office appeal of the actors is also huge. relationship.

Although the heroine Li Meng is familiar to the audience and has good acting skills, her box office appeal is limited. Whether in "The Octagon" or "Silent Kill", Li Meng is a supporting role. She only needs to play her own role well. Just the role is enough, there is no need to consider the issue of box office appeal.

But it's different in "Yuanyang House. The Cry". Not only does it require you to have good acting skills, but you also need to have box office appeal, otherwise it will be difficult to attract the audience to come to the theater and support it.

From "The Octagonal Cage" to "Yuanyanglou. The Cry", Li Meng changed from a supporting role to a protagonist, but the box office dropped from 2.2 billion to 15 million. This is the cruelty of the film and television industry.

In today's "box office only" environment, this is why more and more directors would rather choose traffic stars than powerful stars, because they take a fancy to the box office appeal brought by traffic stars, although it is unreasonable , but it is also a helpless move.

Just imagine, if the male and female protagonists of "Yuanyang House. The Horror" were all replaced by top stars, the box office results would definitely be completely different.
