The competition for the Spring Festival stalls is fierce, and the box office competition between "Flying Life 2" and "Hot and Hot" alone is fierce. Today, "Hot and Hot" has the best word-of-mouth results on Douban, and the box office results are also far ahead. But "Flying Life 2", which was left behind, and even "Article 20" have a more mature and complete story and a better viewing experience.
The only regret is the movie "Mr. Red Carpet" cooperated by Andy Lau and Ning Hao. According to the data, the current box office performance of the TV series "Mr. Red Carpet" is only 80 million. The box office performance is not even a fraction of that of "Bear Infested: Reversal of Time and Space".
Judging from the current box office trend, Mr. Red Carpet, who is at the bottom of the box office, has been completely expelled from the Spring Festival stalls. And according to the movie 2Judging from the production cost of 600 million. Coupled with the cost of publicity and the sharing of accounts by the theater, "Mr. Red Carpet" is conservatively estimated to lose more than 200 million. Thinking about it carefully, Andy Lau + Ning Hao shouldn't be so bleak, but that's the case.
01 is suspected of asset intervention, "Mr. Red Carpet" is boring, first of all, "Mr. Red Carpet" is incompatible with the lively Spring Festival stalls in terms of plot style. Other movies take the route of crying and laughing, with big ups and downs. But "Mr. Red Carpet" is black humor and calm tone from beginning to end. As a result, the movie is not lively enough, and the plot is bland, which cannot support the box office.
Secondly, the theme of "Mr. Red Carpet" focuses on the entertainment industry, and the whole movie is intended to satirize the chaos in the entertainment industry. What kind of hidden marriage and childbirth, playing big names, fighting openly and secretly, has been full of highlights in the trailer.
But who can shoot the story of the industry in the industry is also tied. The plot that appears in the plot is simply the level of pediatrics. The scale is not as good as the hot searches on the entertainment list in the past five years, and those vulgar stalks are not vigorous enough, nor can they arouse the curiosity of the audience.
Click on the Douban comment area, which is the unanimous negative comment of netizens, and some netizens complained: "So this movie is also intervened by the management to become like this?" "Ning Hao thanked Andy Lau for this level of script."
The fact is that "Mr. Red Carpet" is quite boring, compared to the showbiz chaos revealed in the movie. The film itself was difficult to release and formed a first-class team. But the fact that it is only a third-rate movie is more ironic than the content of the movie itself.
It is reported that the movie "Mr. Red Carpet" was originally intended to meet the audience in November last year. dragged on to the Spring Festival stalls, although the box office was at the bottom. But it is still full of highlights in terms of attention, whether it is a small Bo and a big overturn, or whether there are other plans, no one knows. But what is certain is that the quality of the plot of the movie is not worthy of Andy Lau's acting skills, and it also lives up to the audience's expectations. The box office failure and the overturning of the Douban score are all self-inflicted hardships on "Mr. Red Carpet", and the audience is ruthless.
02 left Wu Jing, Andy Lau is also ineffective Andy Lau has been popular in the industry for many years, and his reputation and strength have always been recognized. At the peak of Hong Kong film and television, he was able to excel in the crowd. Now that Hong Kong film and television have declined, he is still one of the Hong Kong actors with the most box office appeal in mainland theaters.
It is precisely because of this that Andy Lau successfully entered the Film Association and won the position of vice chairman. The reputation in the circle is real. Over the years, Andy Lau has indeed been dedicated, and his new films have been launched every year. Whether it is a cameo or a starring role, his acting expressiveness is always convincing.
Such Andy Lau deserves a high box office, "The Wandering Earth 2", which was launched in January last year. Andy Lau partnered with Wu Jing to win 402.9 billion at the box office. In terms of performance texture, even Wu Jingjing can't get rid of the label of "wolf warrior". But Andy Lau plays what is what, and the delicacy of his acting skills often makes the audience involuntarily guess the position of the character.
But after "The Wandering Earth 2", Andy Lau's online movies are bleaker and bleaker. Without Wu Jing, he became the king of thankless bad movies.
The movie "Sneaking" has a Douban score of 55 points, the story plot is filmed like a car advertisement. The standard police and bandit routine film "kidnapped" a large number of fans with Hong Kong feelings.
"Moscow Action", which caught up with the National Day file in September, has a score of 6 points, and the plot logic is almost 0. Women are tool people, children are weakness, how good the villain is in the early stage, how much will it collapse in the later stage.
December's "Goldfinger", co-starred Tony Leung and Andy Lau, the score was barely passing. But the pace of the story is desperate, and it is the sad confrontation between the "old dream of Hong Kong" and the progress of the times. watched it and made people helpless: who can save Hong Kong movies.
And the core characters of these movies that are on the verge of failing are Andy Lau. Now there is another "Mr. Red Carpet", and the current rating of "Mr. Red Carpet" has run to 68 points. However, the word-of-mouth performance of this movie is obviously still a lot of room for decline. This is the filter of the superstar, and he can't bear Andy Lau's loss of the audience's trust in him one after another.
Ma Yili once said in an interview: "To be a good actor. You need at least three masterpieces, but to smash your own brand, you only need one.
Andy Lau, who left Wu Jing, overturned several movies in a row. If nothing else, the next work that allows Andy Lau to establish contact with the audience is "The Wandering Earth 3". It's just that this movie has always been supported by IP and group portraits. What Andy Lau needs is a word-of-mouth work with himself as the core.
It's a pity that judging from the quality of Andy Lau's choice of movies at present. He also plunged headlong into the bad script of human affection, and dedication is really dedication. But there is only quantity and no quality, and what is lost is always his reputation as an actor. Of course, Andy Lau's so-called "king of bad movies" is not hopeless. It can be seen from Andy Lau's online film works last year. Even in such an unreliable plot, the role played by Andy Lau is still full of charm.
Even the male protagonist Liu Weichi in "Mr. Red Carpet" has a kind of hatefulness and hatred. But it's also a distressing character filter. Most of the credit for the charm of these characters that moved the audience lies in Andy Lau's acting skills, image and temperament.
When Andy Lau meets any good crew and book, he is Wang Zhan. Now he only needs to do a good job in screening scripts and pay attention to the quality of movies. It can also become the Mesozoic generation that carries the majority of theatrical films. Whether it is Mr. Red Carpet or a movie clown next, it depends on how Andy Lau chooses.
