Recently, "Catch a Baby" starring Ma Li and Shen Teng has had a box office blowout. The box office has exceeded 500 million in three days of screening. The predicted box office on a certain platform is as high as 3.7 billion. It is expected to become the box office champion of the summer vacation.
The success of "Catch a Baby" has once again made many netizens lament the gold content of the "Shen Ma Group". This "golden partner" from the "comedy world" to the film industry still has not disappointed netizens.
The success of "Catch a Baby" also made Ma Li the "first actress in Chinese film history with a box office of over 20 billion". She was also the "first actress in Chinese film history with a box office of over 10 billion".
Ma Li is not a movie actress. In fact, before this, many people may have defined her more as a "comedienne", thus ignoring her influence in the film industry.
And as she said, she is not good at publicity. Unlike "traffic stars", although she is very popular among passers-by, she is not very popular. But this time, as "the first woman in Chinese film history to have a box office of over 20 billion The title of "actor" fell on her, which once again proved Ma Li's current status in the domestic entertainment and film circles.
In fact, before "Catch a Baby", Ma Li's status in the film industry has changed a lot. Her biggest "ascension" has to be the heroine of Zhang Yimou's "Article 20", 85-year-old Zhao Liying Match her.
In the future, she will also star in Liu Weiqiang's "Dumpling Queen", with actress Hui Yinghong as her voice actor.
At the Beijing Film Festival some time ago, Ma Li walked on the red carpet three times. She was a judge of the film festival, and she walked on the red carpet with Zhang Yimou and Liu Weiqiang respectively, all with their works.
In the awards ceremony, Ma Li’s seat was arranged next to Zhang Yimou. Their seats were naturally in the first row, while Lei Jiayin only sat in the second row.
In another award ceremony, Ma Li also followed Zhang Yimou on the stage. As the heroine, she always stood in the C position, and her status is self-evident.
If Ma Li had a very good national reputation because of the "Queen of Comedy", now her strength in the film industry is already very strong.
2-year-old Ma Li has achieved a level of recognition from the audience both as a comedy and as a film actor. I still remember that when the names of Shen Teng and Ma Li came out for this year's Spring Festival Gala, netizens gave them high praise, including " "Shen Ma" combination is called "a must-have for the Spring Festival Gala".
Ma Li, who has a background in drama, initially became famous as a "comedienne". In 2013, she made her debut on the Spring Festival Gala and collaborated with Shen Teng in "Today's Happiness 2", making her well-known as "Ma Dongmei".
After that, Ma Li and Shen Teng became the "golden partners" and successively contributed sketches such as "To Help or Not to Help", "Not to Pay Back", "The Pit", among which "To Help or Not to Help" also won the most popular language category that year. programme.
The "language programs" of the Spring Festival Gala have been controversial in recent years, but the "Shen Ma Group" is still the most popular in the Spring Festival Gala every year.
But Ma Li's acting career did not stop as a "comedienne". She later not only starred in comedy movies such as "Charlotte's Trouble" and "The Shameful Iron Fist", but also starred in "My Hometown and Me", Main theme movies such as "My Fathers and Me".
Later, she was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress for Zhang Yimou's "Article 20".
During the promotion of "Catch a Baby", Ma Li and Shen Teng talked about the topic of retirement. Shen Teng said that he had originally thought about retiring in a few years, while Ma Li said that she still wanted to film until she was eighty or ninety years old.
I hope Ma Li will continue to persevere in the film industry and present more excellent works to everyone.
