Stephen Chow came to wrap up the summer season. His "God of Cookery" was released on August 31.
"The God of Cookery" can be said to be Stephen Chow's well-known classic work. It was released in Hong Kong, China during the Lunar New Year in 1996. The film was co-directed by Stephen Chow and Li Lichi and written by Gu Dezhao. In addition to Stephen Chow starring as Stephen Chow, the film also includes Karen Mok, Sit Jiayan, and Ng Mang-tat. All participated in the performance.
It can be said that "The God of Cookery" can be regarded as Stephen Chow's masterpiece of nonsensical comedy. In the movie, from the eighteen bronze figures in the Shaolin Temple and the urinating cow balls used to play table tennis, to the appearance of the wet dream master played by Liu Yida, and the presentation of the ecstasy rice, everything is unforgettable. .
Moreover, unlike other re-released works of Stephen Chow, "The God of Cookery" has not been on the mainland's big screen before. In other words, a very small part of the way for mainland audiences to watch this movie is in Hong Kong theaters, and a large part is in Hong Kong theaters. Pirated copies watched in video studios, on television and on computers. This should be the reason why the distributor chose "God of Cookery" to be released in mainland China!
However, what is surprising is that this time Stephen Chow has completely fallen from the altar, his name has completely lost its appeal, and the movie market is quite deserted. On August 31, the box office of the market was only 110 million, but "God of Cookery" only had 4.7% of the film schedule. Moreover, the attendance rate for such a low film schedule is only 3.0%, which is not even half of the 47-day-old "The God of Cookery" which was released for 47 days. This shows that "The God of Cookery" is not only not favored by theaters, but also not popular among audiences. Therefore, on the second day after its release on September 1, "God of Cookery" accounted for only 3.1% of the film schedule and the attendance rate was only 1.1%. As of press time, the single-day box office was only 620,000. The total single-day box office is estimated to be over one million. Difficult, the total box office forecast given by the platform is only over 13 million.
This is Stephen Chow’s worst performance since entering the mainland market.
You must know that Star has never failed before. After cross-strait co-productions began, Star opened the mainland market in 2004 with " Kung Fu ", with a box office of 195 million. Although the numbers are not high, don't forget that this was 2004. "Kung Fu" had already won the box office championship of the year, followed by Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" and Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves". ", as well as Hollywood blockbusters "Lord of the Rings 3", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Spider-Man 2", etc. Four years later, the box office of " Yangtze River No. 7 " was 203 million.
After that, the mainland film market began to develop explosively, and the number of theaters and screens surged. The box office of Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons " exceeded 1.2 billion, and the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" exceeded 1.6 billion, while "The Mermaid " It exceeded 3.3 billion and once became the box office champion of Chinese movies. At that time, Star Master was so famous that he even chartered the Star Ferry between Victoria Harbor and Tsim Sha Tsui for free for the public during the promotion of "Mermaid".
Even the re-released movies are not that bad. "Westward Journey: The Marriage of the Monkey King" has a box office of 186 million. Once upon a time, the three words "Stephen Chow" were a box office guarantee.
's current fall from the altar is no accident. In my opinion, the turning point should be that "Mermaid 2" has not been released for a long time. In the Spring Festival of 2019, Stephen Chow, who is tied up with capital, rushed to the movie in order not to miss this important schedule. The duck was put on the shelves, and it took more than 20 days to rush to produce ", the new king of comedy, ".
This movie has a Douban score of only 5.7. Even Stephen Chow's hardcore fans can hardly give a favorable review. This is a huge drain on Stephen Chow's goodwill and trust. The final box office is not very satisfactory, only more than 600 million.
After that, Stephen Chow gave the impression that he didn’t do much serious work. After opening a social platform, today he drank expensive wine and listened to Jay Chou’s new album, tomorrow he announced on the blackboard that he was recruiting people to enter web3, and the day after tomorrow he concocted an extremely The ugly short drama "Golden Pigs and Golden Leaves"... There has been no news about "Mermaid 2", and there has been no action on "Women's Football", watching the fans' confidence being drained.
Of course, the more important reason is that the audience who grew up watching Stephen Chow's movies in the 1990s is the main audience for Stephen Chow's movies. Nowadays, they are all in their 40s and 50s, and there are seniors and juniors. I have to face the test of economic downturn, unemployment and salary reduction. People only have the need for spiritual and cultural consumption after food and clothing. Now that I am running for a living, watching "The God of Cookery" will naturally not be my first choice.
Perhaps, starting from "The New King of Comedy", Stephen Chow, who no longer cherishes feathers, has shown his fangs to make money at all costs. Now that "God of Cookery" is released, it is just another attempt for him to make money while lying down in the mainland. Just water.
Fortunately, it is an old film. If it fails at the box office, it will fail. At worst, it will have to start all over again. I hope that the box office success of "God of Cookery" will give Mr. Star some motivation. "Mermaid 2" will be released soon, and "Women's Football" will be filmed soon. Of course, "Kung Fu 2" has been passed down for so many years. If Stephen Chow can really appear in the movie, then It is still possible to sell a billion or two billion at the box office.
