Last year, director Zhang Yimou was really full of harvest, and it was simply his bumper year.
During the Spring Festival, his "Man Jianghong" was a big hit, and he directly won 45With a box office of 4.4 billion, it is firmly on the throne of the box office champion in 2023.
During the National Day schedule, he came to another "Solid as a Rock", which is 13With a box office income of 5.1 billion, it easily broke into the top ten of the annual box office list.
It seems that although Director Zhang is older, his creativity has not diminished back then, but has become more and more vigorous.
The Spring Festival stalls have always been a piece of fat for the Chinese film market.
Major movies have seized this ** schedule, hoping to get a piece of the pie in this festival celebrated by the whole people.
However, this year's Spring Festival stalls were unexpectedly "tragic", and many movies were either withdrawn or the box office was upside down, which is really hard to explain.
"Mr. Red Carpet" suddenly announced its withdrawal from the Spring Festival file, which caused quite a stir.
The film was described as a minimalist absurd comedy, and it was a bit surprising that it wanted to have a deep exchange with the audience, but it chose to withdraw from the file.
Originally, this movie was also highly anticipated, but due to various reasons, such as the theme and insufficient publicity, it finally chose to be withdrawn.
After all, the announcement of the withdrawal on the last day of the Spring Festival holiday is indeed a bit embarrassing for the long-awaited audience.
At the same time, this also makes many people worry about whether this withdrawal will become a trend.
At the same time, Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" announced good news that it is about to go abroad and land in overseas theaters in many countries.
Since its release, this movie has had a good reputation, and the box office has also bucked the trend, making it unique in the Spring Festival stalls.
The movie "Hot and Hot" also caused a lot of controversy.
From Jia Ling's ** topic, to the remake controversy, to the questioning of the production cost, this movie can be described as a constant topic.
Despite the controversy, the box office results of "Hot and Hot" are still quite impressive.
In the Spring Festival file of 2024, director Zhang Yimou is not idle, and he took a good position in advance with his new work "Article 20".
As soon as I looked at the poster of this movie, I knew that Director Zhang was playing big - the poster was crowded, how confident he was to dare to do this!
The poster is bright red, very festive, and at a glance, it is simply "half of the country" in the entertainment industry.
The cast in this play is really luxurious.
Zhao Liying's acting skills and crying scenes have also become frequent hot searches, it seems that with a traffic star like Zhao Liying, the box office of this movie directed by Zhang Yimou is naturally stable.
There are powerful Lei Jiayin, Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying, Li Naiwen, as well as popular figures in the comedy circle Ma Li, Pan Binlong, Qiao Shan, and old actors such as Yu Hewei and Fan Wei.
All in all, it's lively!
With such a large number of stars getting together, Director Zhang is clearly going to hit the rhythm of the box office champion.
Speaking of "Man Jianghong", it accurately grasped the pulse of history and attracted the audience in the form of comedy.
And this time in "Article 20", Director Zhang locked in the social contradictions, and then hit the key point through a series of joke stories.
The plot mainly revolves around the prosecutor Han Ming played by Lei Jiayin, and the controversial case in his hands is not only full of story, but also arouses strong resonance from the audience.
Director Zhang Yimou wants to bring us works that are both laughing and touching on social pain points in the entanglement of legal principles and human nature this time.
Zhang Yimou's "Article 20", with its solid plot and strong lineup, finally had the last laugh on the last day of the Spring Festival, and the box office bucked the trend and became a dark horse for the Spring Festival.
Although the war in the Spring Festival stalls is about to subside, the box office competition for the movie is far from over, and as for who will have the last laugh and become the box office champion in the end, it is really uncertain now.
Although Mr. Red Carpet has been withdrawn this time, who can say that it will not bring us greater surprises in the next release?
