On April 18, the mainland market welcomed two new domestic films.

Unfortunately, the market is still dominated by " Godzilla vs. Kong 2" and " What kind of life do you want to live ". The competition between the two giants has made the new films miserable. On the contrary, "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" broke through 8 billion, becoming the champion of imported films in the mainland market this year.

"Godzilla vs. Kong 2" counterattacked for three consecutive years, with a box office exceeding 800 million. Is Hollywood OK again?

As of 19:00 on April 18, the single-day box office champion and runner-up in the mainland film market are "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" and "What Kind of Life Do You Want to Live" respectively.

"Godzilla vs. Kong 2" has a single-day box office of 4.03 million, accounting for 23.8% of the scheduled films and over 24.3% of the box office. For three consecutive days, it defeated "What Kind of Life Do You Want to Live", which ranked first among the scheduled films? It won the Japanese crown, and the cumulative box office exceeded 808 million in 21 days of release.

This achievement has swept away Hollywood’s haze in the mainland market in 2024. If this weekend’s new domestic films cannot stop the pace of “Godzilla vs. Kong 2”, then we will see the first 2022 “Avatar 2” after 2022. This year, Hollywood finally had a blockbuster in the mainland market with a box office of over 1 billion, proving that as long as Hollywood doesn't engage in such tricks as zzzq, mainland audiences will still buy it.

The single-day box office of "What Kind of Life Do You Want to Live" exceeded 3.96 million, which is not far behind "Godzilla vs. Kong 2".

However, the movie schedule accounted for more than 27.2%, and the box office accounted for 23.9%. The attendance rate is not high. The cumulative box office of the movie in the 16 days after its release has exceeded 689 million. The final box office is predicted to be around 750 million. This result is already the biggest ticket sales for the movie. warehouse, even exceeding the combined box office of Japan and North America. It seems that Japanese movies will please Chinese audiences in the future.

24 viewers, and the box office on the first day was only 763 yuan. The worst new movie in April 2024 was born.

"I Want to Be a Teacher" is in slightly better shape. As of 19:00, the film's first-day box office was 8,803 yuan.

You can tell from the title that this is a film that praises teachers. It tells the story of young teacher Sun Heng who grows up with the help of leaders at all levels and helps students become talents. "I Want to Be a Teacher" is a traditional theme film The movie portrays the teacher as an image of selfless dedication, the character is almost fixed, and it also incorporates elements such as rural revitalization live broadcast and product delivery.

The most interesting thing about this film is the all-star cast.

invited Tang Guoqiang, Lin Yongjian , Yue Yunpeng , Guo Jinglin and many other stars to star. Unfortunately, due to the subject matter and plot, these actors did not perform as well as they should. According to the current trend of movies I'm afraid the final box office will be difficult to break 1 million, and I don't know if it will be enough to pay these stars.

"Love in Longnan" had an even lower box office, and even temporarily won the title of the worst new film in April 2024.

As of 19:00 on April 18, the box office on the first day of the movie was only 763 yuan. On the premiere day, there were only 24 viewers who supported the movie. Basically, the theaters did not schedule screenings. With this trend, "Love in Longnan" may be staged. For a one-day trip to the cinema, whether the final box office can exceed 10,000 yuan is a question. This means that the film studio can only get a box office share of about 4,000 yuan, and repayment has become a luxury.

"Love in Longnan" is Zhang Jianhai's debut film written and directed.

This director was an unknown actor before. He has starred in major Internet works such as "The Devil Fan Rui" and "The Ugly County Ma Xuanzan". Douban did not give him a passing rating. In this case, out of love for his hometown, he spent his own money to film this film. "Love in Longnan", this courage is worthy of praise.

It’s a pity that movies cannot be successful based on love alone.

The plot of "Love in Longnan" may also be the director's self-expression.

The story tells the story of Zhang Fuding, a young man who worked hard in a big city and wanted to succeed, and then returned to his hometown to change the fate of his fellow villagers. Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. Zhang Fuding achieved nothing in the big city. His father happened to be seriously ill. He returned to his hometown and made a decision that changed the fate of himself and his hometown.

The protagonist was successful in the movie, but unfortunately it was different outside the movie.

"Love in Longnan" was filmed in 2020, but it was hidden for 4 years after filming. The film had no money to hire stars to star in, and the film itself was of poor quality. It was just a bad film with the quality of a TV series, and it failed miserably at the box office. Within reason.
