In the domestic film market, the National Day and Lunar New Year files have always been the competition schedules for major movies. Most big-production movies, if you have the strength and courage to set the files at these two schedules, it is easy to win hundreds of millions of box office.
This year's National Day file is the first major period after the epidemic has stabilized. There are many blockbusters such as "My Hometown and My Hometown", "Jiang Ziya", "Winning the Championship", "Home in One Point" and other blockbusters. Popular, the domestic film market has finally recovered quickly after more than half a year of silence.
Although the residual temperature of these blockbuster films is still there, many filmmakers have already set their sights on the Lunar New Year files a few months later. Following the announcement of " Chinatown Detective 3" on October 9th that it will be scheduled for Lunar New Year's Day of 2021, on October 12th, the film "The Crowd Surging" was produced by Andy Lau, directed by Rao Xiaozhi , and starring Andy Lau, Xiao Yang and Wan Qian. Announced to join the 2021 Lunar New Year file, and released the latest fixed file poster.
The poster adopts the background color of "China Red", which can be regarded as catering to the festive atmosphere of 2021 New Year's Day. The photos and names of the two leading actors Andy Lau and Xiao Yang almost filled the entire poster. Although the finalization of the new movie is a happy thing, fans of Wan Qian questioned that there is no heroine Wan Qian in this finalized poster.
In the movie "The Crowd", Wan Qian ranks behind the two male protagonists Andy Lau and Xiao Yang, but Wan Qian is also the female protagonist after all, and there is no female protagonist in the key materials such as fixed posters. No wonder some fans are dissatisfied.
Judging from the comment section of the official WeChat account of " surging ", although most of Wan Qian’s fans are more sensible and expressed their best wishes for Wan Qian and the movie, some fans still suggested that the poster does not have Wan Qian’s. Questions, and called on the film to add Wan Qian to the poster.
Wanqian is the second most popular and different sister of this year's super popular variety show. From the comment area alone, although Andy Lau is an absolute male god in the Chinese entertainment circle, and Xiao Yang’s popularity in recent years has also risen, the comments of Wan Qian’s fans have almost dominated the official Weibo of the official Weibo of "The Crowd" Comment area.
After Wan Qian became a group with "Sister Lang", although endorsements, magazines and other activities continue, but so far has not officially announced any film and television works. Wan Qian is an actor after all, so a large number of fans also hope that Wan Qian can bring more good works. The set of "Surge in Crowds" can also be regarded as satisfying fans' ardent hopes for months.
"The Crowd" suddenly announced the 2021 Spring Festival file. In fact, it does not rule out that the film party is out of consideration for the rise of Wan Qian's popularity. After all, taking advantage of the popularity of "Lang Sister" and Wan Qian, the file is set and released as soon as possible to the box office. It is beneficial and harmless.
Of course, the film crew of "The Crowd" may have also considered the controversy that might be caused by the poster without Wan Qian. Therefore, after the directors Rao Xiaozhi and Wan Qian announced the files on the official Weibo of "The Crowd", they both came to Weibo. Interaction, I personally explained why there is no Wan Qian in the poster.
At 10:01 on October 12, the director Rao Xiaozhi reposted the scheduled Weibo of "The Crowd" with the following text: "Where is my heroine Wan Qian hidden?"
immediately after 10:00 At nine points, Wan Qian forwarded Rao Xiaozhi’s Weibo, with the accompanying text: “Director, your heroine has exchanged roles with Xiao Yang and has lived the life of Brother Hua. See you in the cinema on New Year’s Day.”
single Looking at the two Weibo posts of the parties concerned, many netizens may still be at a loss, but fans who know the story of "The Crowd" are all clear at a glance.
movie "People"The Tide" tells the story of the cold-blooded killer Zhouquan (played by Andy Lau) and Chen Xiaomeng (played by Xiao Yang), who exchanged identities in an accident, which triggered a series of humorous stories.
Judging from the summary of this story, "The Crowd" is very similar to the movie "The Shame of Iron Fist" starring Alan, Ma Li and Shen Teng. Both the protagonists exchange life themes due to accidents.
However, combined with Wan Qian’s Weibo, "The Crowd" may not only be the role played by Andy Lau and the role played by Xiao Yang. It seems that the role played by Wan Qian has also participated in the exchange drama. The plot of "The Shame of Iron Fist" is more complicated.
Of course, the director Rao Xiaozhi is very good at works with many characters and complex clues. After all, his work "The Unknown" was well received at the beginning, and the clues there are as many and complicated as that. Under Rao Xiaozhi's lens, it appears clear and organized.
"The Shameful Iron Fist" achieved a high box office of 21.9 yuan in 2017, and it was in the National Day file that year. I don’t know if the 2021 Lunar New Year's "Surge" will win a higher box office?
Although "The Crowd" has the two major signatures of Andy Lau and Wan Qian, and the comedy theme is also very suitable for the Chinese New Year movie watching atmosphere, but the 2021 Lunar New Year file already has "Chinatown Detective 3", "Assassination of Novelists" and " New God List: Rebirth of Nezha and other three blockbuster films, "The Crowd" is difficult to stand out.
Among them, the biggest variable is the story of "The Crowd" and the contribution of Wan Qian fans to the box office. As for the final result, we will wait and see for the 2021 Lunar New Year document.
The crowd is surging and the files are fixed
