During the New Year's Day period, many films are released one after another, vying for the audience's attention and box office. Among them, Feng Xiaogang's new film attracted much attention, but was stolen by an unexpected movie.
This mysterious work broke through the box office mark of 100 million yuan at an astonishing speed within just one day of its release, becoming a well-deserved dark horse on New Year's Day. Who is it? Can you stand out in such fierce competition, even beyond the reach of great directors like Feng Xiaogang?
Nostalgia is back again, but the box office is a mystery
In this era of nostalgia, Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One 3" and "Your Wedding" starring Xu Guanghan have appeared on the big screen, trying to awaken the emotional memories of the audience. However, when expectations collided with reality, box office and reputation became problems that these two films had to face.
Back then, the first two parts of the "If You Are the One" series were extremely successful. Feng Xiaogang's humor and Ge You's unique charm made the audience want to stop. After many years, the third part has finally been released. But who knows, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. After the
video was released, the response was mediocre and the box office was even more dismal. Viewers expressed that after waiting for so many years, the result was disappointing. It seems that the emotional card played by Director Feng this time did not win the hearts of the audience.
At the same time, another movie "Your Wedding" that focuses on nostalgia has also been quietly released. This film starring Xu Guanghan has actually met the audience in 2021, but its re-release this time has unexpectedly set off a wave of nostalgia. Audiences walked into the cinema one after another, wanting to relive the touching experience.
However, when it comes to nostalgia, there is another movie that I have to mention, and that is "Twinkle, Twinkle". The movie attracted widespread attention before the New Year's Day holiday, especially on a certain platform, where the line "Zhang Wansen, it's snowing" went viral in the circle of friends.
When movie theaters release tickets, it is even harder to get a ticket for the "Snow Park". However, when the audience sat in the cinema with high expectations, they found that the movie was far from as good as they imagined. That so-called gimmick made the audience leave disappointed.
So, who is the real winner in this nostalgia trend? Is it Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One 3"? Or "Your Wedding" by Xu Guanghan? Or is it the hugely disappointing "Twinkle, Twinkle"?
"Goldfinger": When Andy met Wei Xiaobao, a counterattack legend in the depths of time
In that era when the entire Internet was dominated by "Zhang Wansen, it's snowing", there was a movie that quietly counterattacked and became a dark horse . It's "Goldfinger."
I have to say that the film’s counterattack is full of drama. At first, the audience's hearts were attracted by other popular films, and "Goldfinger" was like a forgotten pearl in a corner, waiting for the moment to be discovered.
However, when the film's starring cast was revealed, audiences began to turn around. Because the two protagonists of this movie are exactly the male heroes in the hearts of countless people-Andy Lau and Tony Leung.
Andy Lau, this film superstar who has accompanied the growth of three generations, has been in business for more than 40 years since his debut in 1981. Each of his works seems to be a mark of time, which is endlessly memorable. From Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Liu Jianming in "Infernal Affairs", every one of his roles is fresh in people's minds.
And this time, in "Goldfinger", he played a senior investigator named Liu Qiyuan. In order to find the truth, he did whatever it took, even spending 15 years of his own life. Such a character setting makes people unable to help but be moved by his persistence and courage.
Another leading actor, Tony Leung, became famous for his role as Wei Xiaobao in "The Deer and the Cauldron". His acting skills are superb and he has created many deeply rooted characters. His eyes are always full of stories and emotions, which is unforgettable.
In "Goldfinger", Tony Leung plays the villain Cheng Yiyan.This character was originally a prominent businessman, but for some reason his reputation was ruined overnight and he became a sinner in the eyes of everyone.
Such a role change is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Tony Leung, but he used his acting skills to interpret this role so vividly that people can't help but admire it.
When these two male gods met in "Goldfinger", their acting skills and charm collided and created an unparalleled spark. As a result, the film counterattacked and became a dark horse movie at the time.
