Editor丨The box office of
in the big week was 457 million within 7 days of its release. " silently kills " became a hit!
Of course, based on past summer releases, the box office performance of 450 million in seven days may only be considered average. But in the summer of 2024, this result will definitely be considered explosive.
Since entering the summer season on June 1, the movie with the best box office is " There is a Commissary in the Clouds ", which has a box office of 463 million in 18 days of release.
Moreover, the movie's box office growth has almost stalled.
If nothing else happens, this summer box office title will soon be taken away by "Silent Kill".
According to Maoyan data, the total box office of "Silent Kill" is about 1.3 billion. This prediction of
is based on the fact that " legend " is blocking the way. Judging from the current reputation, "Legend" has a high probability of being attacked, so "Silent Kill" can still hold on for a while.
At least, before the release of " Catch a Baby " on July 16, there was no opponent.
Because of "Silent Kill", the summer movie market, which has always been tepid, finally has some enthusiasm.
The market that "Customs Front" and " Laifu Hotel " did not bring up was brought up by "Silent Kill"; what Nicholas Tse and Huang Xuan failed to do, Wang Chuanjun did.
So, how did Wang Chuanjun do it?
First of all, the director is awesome!
The director of "Manslaughter" is Ke Wenli. With the commercial success of "Manslaughter", Ke Wenli has become the most popular commercial director in recent years.
Take "Silence" as an example. Although it is not very good, it is still a passable suspense film.
When a good actor meets a good director, one plus one is greater than two.
This was the case when Wang Chuanjun met Ke Wenli. Because of the popularity of " or " before, Wang Chuanjun's image of a villain was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, meeting Ke Wenli this time made Wang Chuanjun more suitable for this role.
Wang Chuanjun did not disappoint everyone. His acting skills in this movie are indeed outstanding.
Secondly, the subject matter is awesome.
In recent years, you will find that movies with realistic themes have become more and more popular with audiences.
For example, last summer's summer release, "The Disappearance of Her", "The Octagonal Cage" and "All or Nothing", etc., these high-grossing movies are all realistic themes.
Wang Chuanjun is particularly good at this kind of subject matter.
Throughout Wang Chuanjun’s career, some of his most successful roles were all in realistic-themed films. Lu Yiyi in " I am not the god of medicine " and Lu Bingkun in "Desperate" are both.
Except for Sekiya Miracle, of course.
Third, it’s very popular.
The success of "Silent Kill" comes from the popularity of this drama. However, in terms of publicity, "Silent Kill" actually did not use much effort, at least not as good as Nicholas Tse's "Customs Front".
So, where does the popularity of this movie come from?
The popularity of "Silent Kill" stems from three keywords: suspense, bullying, and all villains.
You will find that when these keywords are put together, it will be very eye-catching and have a good-looking feeling. The upper limit of such a movie may not be too high, but the lower limit is definitely high.
Moreover, this movie looks great.
In addition, there is the gimmick of "under 18 years of age, watch with caution".
Therefore, the popularity of this movie is destined not to be too low, and as the box office of this movie gets higher and higher, the popularity becomes higher and higher, and then a virtuous cycle is formed.
coupled with Wang Chuanjun’s acting skills and character, also attracted many audiences.
Therefore, it is precisely because of these factors combined that Wang Chuanjun did what Nicholas Tse and Huang Xuan failed to do.
Although Nicholas Tse's influence is greater, it has been dragged down by "Hong Kong movies";
Although "Laifu Hotel" has a better reputation, it has been dragged down by its publicity.
And Wang Chuanjun’s reputation accumulated due to the two roles of Lu Yiyi and Lu Bingkun finally cashed in this summer, and he became a box office leader in one fell swoop.
Shen Teng is the leader in the comedy world;
Wu Jing is the leader in the theme world;
In the future, if everything goes well, Wang Chuanjun is likely to become the leader in the "crime world" or the "suspense world".
