On December 16, the first day of the release of the new movie "The Three Teams" directed by Chen Sicheng, he encountered a menacing opponent. The film market ushered in 4 new films, among which "Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of Black Iron" and "Angry Tide" attracted much attention, and the proportion of scheduled films fell sharply, making "The Three Teams" win the championship only 1 day on the first day, and it was squeezed out of the top of the list. "Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of Black Iron" broke 20.5 million at the box office on the first day, accounting for 19 of the films9%, accounting for more than 45 percent of the box office3%。
The attendance rate is far ahead, and the strong power of the fans is indispensable. As one of the most influential anime IPs in Japan, "Detective Conan" has naturally been popular among fans. However, the box office momentum of fans is a problem, and it is difficult for non-fans to be attracted to the cinema. This time, "Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of Black Iron" defeated "The Three Teams" starring Chen Sicheng and Zhang Yi and won the championship on the first day.
However, the box office ceiling of the first few theatrical versions of "Detective Conan" in the mainland is about 200 million, so "The Fish Shadow of Black Iron" is likely to be able to suppress "The Three Teams" only this weekend, and Chen Sicheng will face a challenge from "Aquaman 2" next. On the second day of its release, "The Three Teams" lost its title, and Chen Sicheng's Lunar New Year champion was in jeopardy.
As of 7 o'clock on December 16, the single-day box office of "The Three Majors" was 7.19 million, and the proportion of scheduled films dropped to 28%, and the box office accounted for only 159%, the attendance rate was at the bottom, and it lost the crown of the day on the second day of its release, with a cumulative box office of 13.8 billion, this performance seems to be good, but it includes the box office results of the previous week's large-scale screenings, which is actually 13.8 billion is the box office result of a week of release. Chen Sicheng is afraid that he will face the dilemma of whether he is applauded or not.
Chen Sicheng is undoubtedly the most commercially minded director, the "Detective Chinatown" series, as well as the "Disappearing Her" and "Manslaughter" series are all box office hits, although the reputation is average, but the box office is excellent. The reason is that Chen Sicheng is good at provoking the audience's emotions, but the plot details often draw on classic works at home and abroad, which makes fans criticize Chen Sicheng's suspense film as a movie universe with similar routines. Since the release of the 2023 Chinese New Year film "The Three Teams", the box office performance has been far less than expected.
Despite receiving high scores on Douban and ticketing platforms, the final box office is not expected to exceed 500 million. This has led to concerns about the future of the Lunar New Year stalls. However, in such an environment, the performance of "Raging Tide" has brought some bright spots. Although the box office performance of "Raging Tide" on the first day was not excellent, the word of mouth was excellent. The cast is also quite eye-catching, and the joining of well-known actors such as Zhang Jiahui, Ruan Jingtian, and Wang Dalu makes the audience think that this is a Hong Kong film, but in fact it is a mainland production produced by Taochang.
In recent years, Taochang is no longer satisfied with online productions, but has repeatedly shot cinema blockbusters, a strategy that can arouse the audience's feelings for Hong Kong films to a certain extent. Although this set has not worked as well as it used to be in recent years, the word-of-mouth performance of "Raging Tide" this time is quite exciting. Although the performance of the Chinese New Year file is unsatisfactory, "Angry Tide" gives people a glimmer of hope. In recent years, the Chinese New Year stalls have become less and less attractive under the squeeze of the National Day and Spring Festival holidays.
Due to the lack of real holiday blessings, most of the big productions of the Chinese New Year files are crowded into the National Day and Spring Festival, resulting in new films that want to be at the box office for a long time often choose the summer file. Moreover, due to the backlog of many new films due to the impact of the epidemic, there will be a large number of domestic blockbusters in the 2023 Lunar New Year file, but even Chen Sicheng, a commercial director with a high reputation in recent years, has failed to save the New Year file, which makes people more worried about the prospects of the New Year file.
In short, "Angry Tide" makes people have more expectations for the prospects of the Lunar New Year file, and perhaps it can bring a new atmosphere to the New Year file and inject new vitality into the entire film market. The plot of the movie "Tide of Rage" is simple but thrilling, it tells the story of the general election of the Hongtai Group, in which the appearance of the mysterious killer Chen An makes the whole situation gradually get out of control. Director Ma Yuke not only directed and acted by himself, but also wrote the script himself, which made the whole movie full of wild shock.
The background of the movie is set in Southeast Asia, which is full of the atmosphere of old Hong Kong films and grand scenes, which makes the audience enjoy watching it. As a famous villain actor, Ma Yuke's performance in "Dragon Babu" has been highly acclaimed, and he has emerged in Hong Kong films in recent years. His role as Ah Hao, a working boy in "Escape", and the white-haired and crazy Tsim Sha Tsui Duan Kun in "Sweeping Drugs" have also attracted widespread attention.
This time, he not only directed and acted himself, but the script of "Angry Tide" was also written by him himself, which is full of his personal style and characteristics. There is no doubt about the acting skills of the leading actors Zhang Jiahui and Qin Pei in the movie, and they express the emotions of each character vividly. Ruan Jingtian and Wang Dalu did not lag behind and showed excellent performances. The plot is simple but thrilling, which makes the audience enjoy watching it. It's a pity that the desertion of the Lunar New Year schedule has affected the box office performance of "Raging Tide" to a certain extent.
However, we still believe that the final box office of "Raging Tide" is expected to break the 300 million mark. After all, the movie is full of excitement and suspense, enough to catch the audience's eye and give them a whole new movie-watching experience. The story of "Raging Tide" is set in Southeast Asia and is full of the atmosphere of old Hong Kong films. The movie is grandiose, shocking, and engaging, and keeps the audience hooked. The appearance of the mysterious killer Chen An is only the beginning of the whole story, he is like a stone thrown into a pond, causing huge ripples.
The background and special environment of Southeast Asia make the whole plot more interesting. In this story, Hongtai Group is in the midst of a general election, which has caused an uproar. The appearance of Chen An made the whole situation gradually out of control, making the originally simple story confusing. Zhang Jiahui and Qin Pei's acting skills are outstanding, and they are able to express the emotions of each character to the fullest. Ruan Jingtian and Wang Dalu did not lag behind and showed excellent performances.
Although the desertion of the Chinese New Year schedule affected the box office performance of "Angry Tide", the film is full of excitement and suspense, which is enough to attract the attention of the audience and bring them a new viewing experience, and I believe that there will be a breakthrough at the box office in the end. As a director, Ma Yuke's personal style and characteristics have deeply influenced the production of this film, making it even more unique.
