In 2022, Hong Kong movies ushered in a small outbreak, " Tomorrow's War " broke the box office of 70 million Hong Kong dollars, " still thinks you are the best " approached 70 million Hong Kong dollars, and has the momentum to overtake "Tomorrow's War"! There are also two films, "Superstar Development" and "Hot Family", which both exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which is amazing!
However, the Hong Kong film market has both ups and downs, just like "Late Night Dodge Ball" starring Zheng Ekin has been released for more than ten days, but it has only received less than 1.5 million yuan at the box office, which is quite dismal. .
"Late Night Dodge Ball" starred by Hong Kong stars such as Ekin Cheng, Zhou Jiayi , Qian Jiale , etc. The film has no plan to be released in the Mainland. This kind of Hong Kong-style comedy has almost zero overseas influence, so the failure of the Hong Kong market, It basically made "Late Night Dodge Ball" a foregone conclusion! The whole film of
tells the story of social worker Yang Yingqi's "Late Night Gym" project for a group of wayward girls facing the threat of cancellation of funds. In order to save them, she formed a dodgeball team.
And with the help of an unemployed former star athlete coach, teenage girls learn that running away from problems can work for now, but they must learn to eventually stand up and overcome challenges.
After all, "Dodgeball" is a very unpopular sport, and the story is not expected to be exciting, so it is reasonable for the box office to be bleak. It is embarrassing that the big screen in Hong Kong has won such a box office!
After all, in the 1980s and 1990s, Jackie Chan , Chow Yun Fat , Zhou Xingchi occupied the annual box office champion of the Hong Kong film market, which is called "double Monday success"! Even Andy Lau , Tony Leung , Jet Li , Leslie Cheung and other blockbusters of Hong Kong superstars have never surpassed the "two-week success".
only Ekin Cheng's blockbuster "Wind and Cloud" broke this record for the first time, so it is still talked about!
The success of "Fengyun" has its own inevitable factors in it. After all, Ekin Cheng has already become one of the most popular actors in Hong Kong with the gangster epic "Young and Dangerous" series; and the comics of "Fengyun" is also a big IP, the The film is the first time to use computer special effects to make a martial arts movie.
At that time, Aaron Kwok , Yang Gongru , Shu Qi , Wang Zhiwen , Xu Jinglei also made cameos, so the "Young and Dangerous" team made "Wind and Cloud" a big hit!
And with " Domination of the World ", Ekin Cheng also became the only idol star who defeated "Double Monday Success" in the 1990s. He later took over the role of " Chinese Hero " and "Decisive Battle in the Forbidden City". "" Thousand Machines Changed to " and other big production movies, each of which is a big seller!
In 2001, Xu Kefa directed " Shushan Chuan " costing 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Hong Kong box office was only in the early 10 million. The male protagonist Ekin Cheng began to go downhill like a curse.
Then, his starring films such as " Nine Dragons Ice Room ", " Dark Battle 2", "When a Man Becomes a Woman", " Storm 2", " Loyalty Yang Family " and other films have been bleak at the box office. After all, Hong Kong movies have gone downhill, and Ekin Cheng has not received any good dramas! Only relying on " First Commandment " to win the Korean actor is the highlight of his acting career!
directed by Dapeng in 2015" Pancake Man " was released, and the box office exceeded 1.1 billion. Among them, the ending appearance of the "Young and Dangerous" brothers was the most impressive to the audience. Some people even said that the 1.1 billion box office at least 1 billion was for the young and the Dangerous.
In 2018, Ekin Cheng, Chen Xiaochun and other young and dangerous young brothers really made a " Golden Brother ", which broke 317 million at the box office, and made Ekin Cheng's popularity recover!
did not expect that the quality of "Three Kingdoms Killing Fantasy" in 2018 was a fiasco. The domestic box office of this bad film was only 1.05 million. Since then, Ekin Cheng's feelings in the mainland market have not been able to sell. He is also no longer favored by filmmakers, resulting in no new films being released for 4 years!
, director of Wang Jing, who has in-depth cooperation with Ekin Cheng, once commented on Ekin Cheng: "He really looks like a blank piece of paper. I think his next concept may be 16 or 17 years old. If he is innocent at the age of 40, there will be no good things. His appearance is very good, his performance is passable...it is difficult to communicate." Ekin Cheng and his wife Meng Jiahui have no children in their life, so he usually plays video games, reads comics, and drives Yachting to foreign countries. It is said that his career is not strong, he likes to play very much, and he is not willing to take on similar roles all the time, thinking that the money for making one or two plays a year is enough, and he does not want to work hard because of popularity.
Now, "Late Night Dodgeball" has failed miserably at the box office, and Ekin Cheng will collaborate with , Ren Xianqi, , "Dishwasher", which is also a niche movie, and the box office will not be good!
However, the drama "The Reasoning of Millions" produced by Ekin Cheng and the production team of "In the First Time" may turn his salty fish over! What do you think of Ekin Cheng's new film which is not good at the box office? Are you optimistic about his two new plays in the future?
