On the first weekend after the Mid-Autumn Festival, 10 new films were released. But without exception, the box office has collectively overturned. And there are many popular films among them. Such as Xiang Zuo Guo Biting 's new film " Treasure Land " co-produced by husband and wife, and the new film " My Grandpa " starring Simon Yam. Both films grossed less than one million at the box office on their first day.
Among them, "Treasure Land in Front of the Door" is only 700,000, and "My Grandpa" is as low as 208,000.
"The Treasure at the Gate" is Xiang Zuo's first film as a producer. It tells the story of the death of the director of a martial arts school in Tianjin in 1920. The old director arranged for the eldest disciple to take over before his death, and then various incidents occurred in the martial arts. The film is directed by Xu Haofeng and Xu Junfeng, written by Xu Haofeng, and stars Xiang Zuo, Guo Biting, An Zhijie and Tang Shiyi.
Director Xu Haofeng won the Best Screenplay Award at the 33rd Hong Kong Film Awards for the action film "The Grandmaster ". He also wrote and directed the martial arts film "The Master" and " Archer Liu Baiyuan ". Screenwriter of " Taoist Descending the Mountain ".
As a famous director of martial arts films, Xu Haofeng is also Xiang Zuo's favorite filmmaker, so in order to shoot this film, Xiang Zuo even turned down the invitation of Cheng Baorui " Kowloon Walled City: The Siege ". However, in the face of the great success of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", Xiang Zuo admitted that he has no regrets. And now "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" represents Hong Kong in the competition for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
At the box office, "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" earned 684 million in box office in the mainland. In comparison, today's "Treasure Land in Front of the Door" is terrible.
Although Xiang Zuo does not regret his choice, he will definitely have regrets. Regarding this movie, Xiang Zuo even bluntly said, "This movie is my life."
Therefore, the importance of this film to him is self-evident.
serves as a producer for the first time. Xiang Zuo hopes that his work will have more artistic expression. He tried his best to shoot this film, and Xiang Zuo is quite satisfied with the final film.
After watching the film for the first time, Xiang Zuo burst into tears. After the second playthrough, he said he understood the story better.
This film is different from traditional Hong Kong films, and Xiang Zuo wants to break the framework of Hong Kong-style films and hope to make a truly international film. Especially after the film was shortlisted for multiple international film festivals, Xiang Zuo is very proud.
Even in Xiang Zuo's heart, this movie is unparalleled by other movies. Among Xu Haofeng's various films, Xiang Zuo ranked this film first.
But obviously, the current market performance is not as good as expected, and the audience does not seem to buy it.
On the one hand, it is the general environment that is not good, but on the other hand, it is also the problem of the film itself. It's increasingly difficult to make an action movie like this nowadays.
The success of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is obviously not replicable, but it can give people some inspiration. At a time when Hong Kong films are sluggish, when action films are in decline, and when the environment is becoming increasingly difficult, for action films, if they want to break out, they must start from themselves, not only to create new ideas, but also to create new ideas. It also needs to be expressive, but it also needs to be enjoyable to watch.
For Xiang Zuo, although this is his first time as a producer, it is also a film in which he stars. Looking back at the past works in which he has starred, there are only a few masterpieces. Especially the " Legend of Gods " tailor-made for it is even worse.
When talking about this film, Xiang Zuo did not shy away from saying that the script of this work is terrible. When he met director Xu Haofeng, he even wanted him to help modify the script, but after Xu Haofeng read it, he bluntly replied, "It's too bad to be modified."
So the film's disastrous failure was not surprising at all.
Due to his special status, Xiang Zuo has always been controversial and has never lacked popularity.Especially after marrying Guo Biting, the relationship and family between the two have often been hotly discussed by the public. Now it is the first time the two have collaborated after their marriage. The whole topic has been aroused, but obviously it has not been translated into considerable box office.
In the past two years, Xiang Zuo has also participated in various variety shows, especially the previous participation in "Breaking the Waves 4", which caused huge controversy because of his withdrawal. But when it comes to participating in variety shows, Xiang Zuo is also very clear-headed and very purposeful. He bluntly said that he participated in variety shows just to make himself popular. In fact, he does not love variety shows. Perhaps only " infinite transcendence class " is satisfactory to him, because in this program, he can hone his acting skills.
It can be seen that Xiang Zuo is very real and knows what he wants most at the moment.
But currently, Xiang Zuo's acting skills are far from expected.
As Jet Li's disciple, Xiang Zuo, now 40 years old, obviously has a big gap with his master. Now when he challenges Paper Man, he also wants to have his own expression and find another way out, but as an actor, he has never given up. But as an actor, you still need to let your work and acting skills speak for yourself in the end. For action actors, it is getting more and more difficult nowadays.
For Xiang Zuo, the road is still long and he still needs to continue to work hard.
