The mainland film market has been relatively sluggish recently. Compared with the same period last year, it is a world of difference.
It was also June 30th. On the ninth day of its release last year, Zhu Yilong's "The Disappearance of Her " continued to hit a box office of 240 million. In addition, Wang Baoqiang's " in the octagonal cage " was screened, and the box office hit a single day. 320 million.
On June 30 this year, the market barely exceeded 100 million. This week's seed movie, " Customs Front " starring Nicholas Tse and Jacky Cheung, unexpectedly hit the box office, which really surprised many viewers.
Is this still the summer movie we remember? Which movie can ignite movie fans' enthusiasm for watching movies?
Brother Fei learned through inquiries that the second feature film directed by Ke Wenli - " silently kills " has been announced. This film has the potential to be a dark horse hit, and it is predicted that the box office will reach 800 million.
1. "Silent Kill" files are released.
After entering the summer season in previous years, there would usually be a heavyweight film scheduled for the regular schedule. However, this year, with Liu Heping's "No Such Film" disappearing for no reason, the layout of theater movies in the summer season has also been disrupted.
"Customs Front", which was originally scheduled to be released on July 5, replaced this week's schedule. Before the large-scale release, movie fans expressed great enthusiasm for the film, but after it opened, the box office results were hard to say.
The total box office of the film in three days was only 73 million. The predicted box office dropped from 250 million to 180 million. Audiences who have watched it should know that this movie is expensive and will be a box office failure.
After seeing the style of "Customs Front", the producer of "Silent Kill" announced: The film will be released from July 4th to July 3rd. If it is released one day earlier, you can make more money One day box office.
Screening or promotion are a sign of confidence from the film studio. If a film is bad, it is absolutely impossible to meet the audience in advance. You see, "Kowloon Walled City" and " Negotiator " both achieved good results at the box office after being screened.
Those videos that have escaped multiple times often don’t work. For example, Andy Lau's "Mr. Red Carpet ", Deng Chao's "China Ping Pong: The Last Strike", and Huang Xuan's "Laifu Hotel" were released again, and the audience was still unmoved.
"Silent Kill" chose to be released but not screened, which shows that they do not want to destroy the film market. In addition, director Ke Wenli is the main reason why this film has potential.
2. The box office target is 800 million.
"Silence" is directed by director Ke Wenli. This is his second work. The previous work "Manslaughter" was produced by Chen Sicheng.
This film continues the production concept of "Manslaughter". The film was approved for filming in 2018. Because it was sent for review for the first time, it was turned back. Ke Wenli re-shot it based on the original.
The plot summary of "Silent Kill" is as follows:
Students from Jinghua Girls' High School in Doma City, a small Pacific island country, disappeared one after another, and hammers fell heavily, which opened the prelude to a revenge case. As the police investigate further, it seems that everyone involved has an unspeakable secret.
Girls' Middle School student Chen Yutong was bullied on campus, but her mother Li Han was unable to save her daughter who was in "hell". Everyone around her was "turning a blind eye". A collective silence was brewing greater violence...
cast lineup There are Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Junning, Wu Zhenyu, Wang Shengdi, Cai Ming, Jin Shijie, Huang Minghao, Xu Jiao, etc.
Why is it said that the box office of this film is targeting 800 million?
First, Ke Wenli has this ability.
"Manslaughter" was released during the Lunar New Year in 2019. It was ultimately a great success with a box office of 1.33 billion. It also made the lead actor Xiao Yang a box office star, and Chen Sicheng's company made a lot of money.
It can be seen from the success of "Manslaughter" that director Ke Wenli grasps the audience's desire points very accurately. His works give the audience an "enjoyable" feeling, especially the suspense and decryption part.
Therefore, fans have high expectations for this new work. After all, director Ke Wenli is famous for his keen grasp of stories and unique shooting techniques.
believes that "Silent Kill" will be able to continue this spirit and create a world of its own in the summer season.
Secondly, the summer season needs a movie to ignite it.
Entering the summer, the North American box office has also encountered such a situation. After many blockbusters failed at the box office, "Inside Out 2" finally ushered in. The audience watched the movie with revenge, and the box office directly exploded to US$450 million in two weeks. .
The same is true for mainland theaters. There is no movie in the Dragon Boat Festival that stands out. When it comes to the summer season, a movie of acceptable quality is needed to lead the market trend. Last year, it was Wang Baoqiang's "The Octagon" and "The Lost Her" Explosive.
This year, it has become a fact that "Customs Front" will not work. Next, it will be "Silence" that will meet the audience next week. Once the film's reputation is good, it will be a matter of course that the film will explode at the box office.
Third, the media predicts a box office of 660 million to 1.1 billion.
My prediction of a box office of 800 million has been neutralized. The prediction given by the ticketing platform is as high as 1.1 billion. I have made accurate predictions for Wang Qianyuan's "The Wandering Blade" and Gao Qunshu's "Trident" before.
These industry organizations have high hopes for director Ke Wenli and this film. They are quite reliable, and there are few cases of failed predictions.
Based on the above three major points, it is easy to achieve the box office target of 800 million for "Silence".
3. Wang Chuanjun wants to punch Jackie Chan and kick Nicholas Tse.
Can Wang Chuanjun successfully transform with this movie and become the next Zhu Yilong?
Wang Chuanjun's famous work is the TV series "Love Apartment". I believe many viewers have seen his performance in Guan Gu Miraculous. In the drama, he speaks Mandarin with an accent, the character is a bit "silly", and he commits "harassment" at every turn.
After becoming famous, Wang Chuanjun made many attempts to get rid of this role, and the most successful one was undoubtedly "The Ex 2".
In 2015, he played the role of Tian Shengxin in Tian Yusheng's " Ex 2: Spare Tire Counterattack ", which grossed 1.9 billion at the box office. But in the final analysis, the number one leading actor is still Zheng Kai, and Wang Chuanjun's box office masterpiece cannot be counted.
After that, he played the role of Huang Mao in Wen Muye's " I'm Not the God of Medicine ". It can be said that besides Xu Zheng, Wang Chuanjun was the most outstanding. His rice-drying scene slapped many actors in the face, and the film's box office Another explosion of 3.1 billion.
In 2023, " All-or-Nothing " allowed us to see a different Wang Chuanjun. The electronic fraudster was once again accurately played by him. The box office of this film exploded to 3.848 billion, becoming the top film in the summer box office last year.
Whether it's "The Ex 2", "I'm Not the God of Medicine", or "All or Nothing", as long as Wang Chuanjun is involved, the box office is highly likely to explode. However, in these films, Wang Chuanjun is always the second leading actor.
To be successful at the box office, you must have a starring role. "Silence" is Wang Chuanjun's first theatrical film masterpiece.
Once the film breaks through the 800 million threshold, it will have a huge impact on the two films.
The first one is "Customs Front" starring Nicholas Tse.
If "Silent Kill" does well at the box office and creates a word-of-mouth effect, theater managers will increase the number of films for this film. This will inevitably reduce the film share of "Customs Front". Isn't this just kicking Nicholas Tse.
The other one is Jackie Chan's new film " Legend ", which was released on July 12.
If "Silent Kill" continues to explode at the box office, it will form strong competition in the next schedule. "Legend" will not be able to grab more films, and the box office will be a hit. Isn't this just punching Jackie Chan.
This is a real box office battle!
4. Conclusion.
There is no doubt about Wang Chuanjun's acting skills. The most important thing now is the quality of the movie. As long as it surpasses "The Disappearance of Her", with Wang Chuanjun's performance and Ke Wenli's technology, the box office of 800 million has just begun.
Brother Fei has a strong interest in "Silence". I will also go to watch the movie as soon as possible and bring you the latest movie review. Let us continue to pay attention to "Silent Kill" and witness Wang Chuanjun's journey of "punching Jackie Chan and kicking Nicholas Tse"!
Will you go see this movie next week?
