"Hello, Brother": The actors are great, and the script pulls the hips! Ma Li's 15.2 billion starring can't afford the box office

Comedy still has certain advantages on family-friendly days like the

Mid-Autumn Festival. The

movie "Hello, Brother" was released for 3 days, and the box office exceeded 100 million, ranking first among many domestic movies.

Ma Li and Wei Xiang , after " the killer is not very calm ", cooperated again, still occupying the topic.

Today's Ma Li, like Shen Teng , has become the box office girl of Happy Twist .

On the personal box office list, Ma Li's starring box office score has exceeded 15.2 billion, ranking eighth.

If nothing else, just this year, Ma Li's two films, "This Killer Is Not Too Calm" (2.627 billion), and " Walking Alone on the Moon " (2.97 billion), have all become popular.

However, the final predicted box office of the movie "Hello, Brother" is only 339 million.

is not only incomparable to Ma Li's previous works, but also not as good as director Zhang Luan's previous work "Teacher, Good". After the release of

, ​​the word of mouth is even more difficult to describe. What is going on?


Actually, this movie is not the work of Happy Twist.

In recent years, the movie market has been relatively deserted, but the comedies of happy twists have been one after another, which is very lively. The content of

Happy Twist's works is still guaranteed.

and Ma Hua's actors, the other works they have received, have a lot of bad movies.

such as "Li Mao Changes the Prince", " Warm Hug ", etc., the word of mouth is a mess.

can see , the success of a comedy, good actors can add icing on the cake, but a good script is the basic plate.


The content of the movie "Hello, Brother" is somewhat similar to " Riding the Wind and Waves " and "Back to the Future".

tells about family love and transmigration themes, which are very similar to "Hello, Li Huanying ". Director

said before that the film was filmed in 2020, not later than "Hello, Li Huanying". What does

"Hello, Brother" tell about? The

story is about traveling through time.


Xiao Wu, the protagonist, is a little bit estranged from his father. After his father got sick, he often called him "brother".

Xiao Wu's mother died when Xiao Wu was born, leaving only a notebook and a ring.

With this ring, Xiao Wu returned to the 1980s when his parents fell in love.

But because of , it's not the right time for him to come, because of him, his parents didn't succeed in dating.

Dad also fell in love with someone else.

In order to correct this "mistake", Xiao Wu had to travel back again and again to match his parents on a date. The setting of the story of


is a bit like this year's opening drama " Begins ", but the description is about family love. The first half of

is funny, and the second half returns to the old way of sensationalism.

can see that the director really wants to replicate his success in "Teacher, Good", and also interspersed a lot of "parents era" props in the film to create a nostalgic atmosphere.

For example, "Love Song 1980" and "What I Want in My Life" make people feel the passage of time.

The love story between parents is more delicately shot, and it has a lot of control over emotions in "Teacher, Good".

But for the audience, this subject should have seen a lot.


The reason why "Hello, Li Huanying" can move people.

is not simply because of crossing the theme, is more about Jia Ling 's memory of her mother, and the true feelings conveyed inside and outside the play. This point,

, ​​is difficult to replicate in today's family movies.

Let’s talk about it again, some viewers find such a topic fresh, and if they watch it too much, they feel very boring. Director


's previous work "Teacher, Good", was a double harvest in terms of box office and word of mouth.

's small-investment movie has collected a box office of 350 million yuan, and the investors have really made a lot of money.

Yu Qian acted as the starring and producer, and all the invited actors were newcomers.

also invited , Wu Jing, and many other celebrities to come and help out.

Yu Qian was also named the best actor at the Macau Film Festival because of this play.


and director Zhang Luan also won the best director and screenwriter of the first Duyun Film and Television Festival "Yunya Award". The

movie restores the most memorable and wonderful student time in the minds of the audience.

White sneakers, bicycles and other props also brought the audience back to that era.

, ​​coupled with Yu Qian's successful shaping, makes a crappy story vivid and contagious. The success of this film,


, ​​is also difficult to replicate. The main comedy of

"Hello, Brother", the plot is a little more complicated than the previous work.

involves several lines of narrative, the interweaving of the past and the reality, and the control of the rhythm,

has high requirements for the connection between the beginning and the end.

If the connection is not good, the audience will feel awkward.

Meanwhile, on family days, audiences all want a comedy.


as a comedy film, the main theme of the film is "Welcome to the Mid-Autumn Festival with a smile", but there are not many laugh points, but more emotional and nostalgic plots.

This also greatly lowered the expectations of the audience.

Ma Li and Wei Xiang are not too much in comedy movies, and only when they act in comedy can they play their role.

to act in such a plot-oriented movie is not good at it.

But then again, the 100 million box office is not bad. After all,

is only a Mid-Autumn Festival, not a Spring Festival.

But it is difficult to replicate the word-of-mouth box office double harvest of "Teacher, Good".

The actors are awesome, the script pulls the crotch! Ma Li's 15.2 billion starring box office can't afford it.
