is written and directed by Ding Sheng, Yang Mi , Yu Qian , Tian Yu , Yu Ailei, Li Jiuxiao starring in the suspense comedy film " There is nothing a hot pot can't solve ", which will be released on May 1, 2024 Released in theaters nationwide.
Non-famous entertainment critic Wu Qinggong pointed out: At 12 noon on May 5, the film’s official Weibo posted a message announcing the withdrawal because the film schedule was too low and the box office was too low. Six minutes later, director Ding Sheng posted on Weibo and said: "Thank you everyone, I still have a lot to say, we will meet again someday."
Actually no, Yang Mi posted it on Weibo at 11:01 a.m. that day. At that time, "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" had not yet been withdrawn. What does this mean? It shows that the film crew did not discuss with Yang Mi before deciding to withdraw the film. Isn't the film crew too unprofessional? How could you not say hello to Ichiban for such an important matter? If Yang Mi had known that it would be withdrawn, he would definitely not have posted such a happy Weibo, which seemed heartless.
In the fierce competition during the May Day period, the box office of "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" was not ideal. The film only accounted for 7.9% of the films scheduled for the first day of release, ranking seventh on the day, and did not have a large influence among the audience. Although the film's marketing activities have continued, it has not increased the popularity of the film and the willingness to watch it. Five days have passed, and the film's box office and release rate have not met expectations. This shows to a certain extent that even with a star cast, the film's box office is still subject to many factors, including plot, word-of-mouth, marketing strategy, etc.
"Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" is directed by the talented Ding Sheng, who is known for his unique perspective and creativity. In this film, he teamed up with popular actor Yang Mi and comedy master Yu Qian to create a story intertwined with suspense and comedy. Yang Mi has become a super first-line actress with many popular TV series and movies, while Yu Qian has won the love of the audience with his profound skills in the cross talk industry and his wonderful performances in film and television works. Such a combination should have achieved good results at the box office, but the reality is not like this.
"Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" revolves around four characters who don't know each other. They are accidentally involved in a murder case backstage in the theater, and then reveal a series of twists and turns and bizarre secrets. The film incorporates elements such as face-changing and Sichuan opera with Sichuan and Chongqing characteristics, and strives to find a balance between suspense and humor. Although the film's treatment of some plots is slightly exaggerated, its unique cultural charm and sense of humor are still appreciated by some audiences. However, such attempts have not generally won market recognition.
Audiences and the media have various interpretations of the withdrawal of "Nothing Can't Be Solved by Hot Pot". Some viewers believe that the negative reviews of the film itself were the main reason for its withdrawal; while some media pointed out that the fierce competition during the May Day schedule and insufficient film marketing were the key factors that prevented the film from breaking through. At the same time, some people believe that in the face of strong competitors and unfavorable film schedules, the producer chose to withdraw the film to avoid greater losses. Despite this, the film's star cast and favorable reviews from some audiences still retain a glimmer of hope for a comeback in future releases.
