During the Spring Festival, Shen Teng and Ma Li became the biggest winners, as both of them had movies released. "Flying Life 2" starring Shen Teng had a box office of 3.38 billion, and "Article 20" starring Ma Li had a box office of 2.43 billion. The former helped Shen Teng surpass Wu Jing and become the highest-grossing actor in Chinese film history, while the latter solidified Ma Li's position as the "highest-grossing actress in Chinese film history".
Shen Teng and Ma Li are a golden pair. They have established a good understanding since they started acting in dramas. Later, we performed sketches together, recorded variety shows together, and acted in movies together, and now we have "met each other at the top." Non-famous entertainment critic Wu Qinggong pointed out: Ma Li's performance style is unique and deeply loved by the audience. Her works include not only comedies but also dramas, each of which demonstrates her versatility and professionalism as an actor.
Shen Teng's film and television works not only have high box office, but also have diverse themes. Each one demonstrates his acting skills and deep understanding of the characters. From the down-and-out writer who longs for success in "Charlotte Troubles", to the football goalkeeper who unexpectedly gains wealth in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", to the animal trainer who battles wits with aliens in "Crazy Alien" , every character created by Shen Teng is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, allowing the audience to see his comedy talent and acting skills.
Although Shen Teng and Ma Li are both number one now, their situations are different. The total box office results of Shen Teng and Wu Jing are very close, and both of them have strong box office appeal and competitiveness in the film market. In the future, with the launch of new works, the box office rankings of the two may change, and their box office competition will become more intense. And Ma Li has a huge lead over second place, and she can still reach the top for at least two years. Shen Teng's biggest opponent is Wu Jing, so who is Ma Li's biggest opponent? Not Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Xiaofei, but Jia Ling.
Although Shen Teng and Ma Li "met at the top", most people still believe that the current pattern of the Chinese film industry is "Wu Jing for men and Jia Ling for women." Because Shen Teng and Ma Li are only actors and comedians, so they are not comprehensive enough. And Wu Jing and Jia Ling are not only actors, but also directors. Being a director has greater initiative and can "make cakes". Why does Jia Ling want to lose weight? Just because I don’t want to be limited to being a comedian. Just like Wu Jing doesn't want to just be an action actor, he is also working hard to broaden his acting career. For example, Wu Jing has taken roles in the "Changjin Lake" series of movies, the "Wandering Earth" series of movies, and the "Meg" series of movies.
I am very optimistic that Jia Ling will counterattack Ma Li one day. Jia Ling's success is not only reflected in the box office. The movies she wrote, directed and starred in, "Hello Li Huanying" and "Hot and Spicy" have received wide acclaim from the audience. This proves that Jia Ling is not only an excellent actor, but also a director with keen insight and deep emotions. Her movies not only make people laugh, but also make people think about the true meaning of life and feel deep emotional resonance. This is something Ma Li can't do. She is an actor and she only has the right to be chosen.
The rapid development of China's film market has provided actors with a huge stage, giving them the opportunity to obtain extremely high box office through excellent works. It is against this background that Shen Teng, Ma Li, Wu Jing, and Jia Ling have achieved remarkable box office achievements with their own efforts and talents. In the future, we have reason to believe that with the birth of more excellent film works, new actors will join the high-grossing ranks and jointly promote the prosperity and development of the Chinese film market.
