In the 2024 Spring Festival, various films can be described as fairy fights, although Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" has strong marketing, but on the whole, it has achieved good box office results.
But the situation of the Hong Kong stars is miserable.
After 8 days of release, the box office was only 80 million, and Andy Lau's "Mr. Red Carpet" was withdrawn from the Spring Festival
It is reported that "Mr. Red Carpet" is directed by Ning Hao and starring Andy Lau, although both of them are well-known figures in the entertainment industry, and they want to have a good reputation, and they want to be popular, but the box office has been in a downturn since the film was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
As of 23:30 on February 16, the cumulative box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" is only more than 82 million, which is very tragic compared with Jia Ling's box office of 2.6 billion.
After a day of hard work and still no improvement at the box office, "Mr. Red Carpet" finally followed the dust of "Let's Shake the Sun Together" and made the decision to withdraw from the Spring Festival file.
Judging from this statement, the "Mr. Red Carpet" team has carefully considered, they call the film an art of communication, and want to communicate with more audiences at the right time, but the specific re-release time is not clearly stated.
It is reported that "Mr. Red Carpet" tells the story of Andy Lau's superstar Liu Weichi and the director played by Ning Hao to shoot rural themes in order to win the award.
Although some netizens questioned that the arbitrary withdrawal would disrupt the market, from the perspective of the subject matter, this is a minimalist absurd comedy work, which also reflects the strange phenomenon in the entertainment industry. For such a film with a certain viewing threshold, choosing to change the file may be the wisest choice at the moment.
In addition, the cartoon "Huang Pi: God of Wealth Cat" also announced the withdrawal. Three of the eight films were withdrawn, I have to say,The competition for this year's Spring Festival stalls is really fierce, and even Andy Lau, the king of heaven, can't take it!
On the first day of release, the box office was only 160,000, Hong Kong stars Wu Zhenyu and Ren Dahua also suffered Waterloo
The competition for the box office is fierce, and the Spring Festival is coming to an end, but there is still a new film that bravely entered the Spring Festival stalls and was released on February 16. The courage is admirable, but the results are miserable, on the first day of release, there were only 393 viewers**, and the box office on the first day was only 160 thousand.
This movie is "Breaking the War" starring Wu Zhenyu, Ren Dahua and many other Hong Kong stars, and the story content is still a more common police film in Hong Kong films.
Although there are many Hong Kong stars joining, due to the old-fashioned story, coupled with the fact that the theater and the Internet University are released simultaneously, and the Internet University has not yet adopted paid on-demand, as long as it is a member, it can be free**, which shows that the box office will not be too high in the end.
The production cost of 100 million is estimated to be wasted! I have to say that the 2024 Spring Festival stalls really stunned these Hong Kong stars.
Looking at the history of the changes in the Spring Festival, the contribution of Hong Kong films is actually huge.
In 1980, Jackie Chan opened the curtain of the Spring Festival with a "Junior Brother Out of the Horse", and then a large number of Chinese New Year films emerged in turn during the Spring Festival, such as "Red Fan Zone", "Party A and Party B", Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", etc., which can be described as masterpieces.
But now, the once prosperous Hong Kong films have suddenly declined, not only is the creation weak, the talent is not available, and the audience is no longer willing to pay. On the contrary, mainland filmmakers took over the baton and became a big hit in the Spring Festival stalls. It's embarrassing!
