During this year's Spring Festival, Ning Hao and Andy Lau's eating appearance is really too good!
The new film "Mr. Red Carpet" starring the two stars was attracted by the Spring Festival file, and thought that with only 7 points of outstanding performance, they could establish their position in this Spring Festival file full of fairy disputes.
Surprisingly, "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life 2" became huge hits, ranking first, while "Bears: Reversing Time and Space" and "Article 20" came in second, both grossing more than a billion.
Although "Mr. Red Carpet" was released for 8 days, its box office only exceeded 80 million, which is not even as good as the performance of "Let's Shake the Sun Together".
Seeing that the situation seemed to be a little bad, "Mr. Red Carpet" decided to withdraw directly and choose to meet again on another day.
It's really humiliating! Ning Hao and Andy Lau don't even need their old faces anymore.
Before the Spring Festival schedule, many viewers expressed dissatisfaction with "Mr. Red Carpet" due to the way the film was scheduled on the Internet, and they were worried that a high-quality film would be oppressed by funds and thus lose the chance of survival.
Despite this, after the release of the movie, the audience's feedback was quite unanimous, believing that Ning Haojiang's talent had been exhausted.
Compared to several other popular films, "Mr. Red Carpet" has a rating of only 68 points, which clearly shows that its poor box office is not only due to scheduling problems, but also closely related to its poor quality.
At its core, the film is a satire on the chaos of the entertainment industry, and for viewers who are familiar with Ning Hao, just by previewing the trailer, it will be clear that they are going to try black humor again.
However, this also sets the threshold for the audience to watch the movie to a certain extent. For those viewers who are keen to chase stars and follow the dynamics of the entertainment industry, they are amazed by the depth and breadth of the film. However, for ordinary audiences, they often feel confused and lost, because in the process of watching the movie, they are easily confused and drowsy due to the barriers of various industries.
From the point of view of quality and shortcomings, "Mr. Red Carpet" will retreat if it can't win, and if it fights again in the future, the result will not be too far behind. Although the film set off quite a bit of discussion after the retreat, some viewers were still moved by its courage to persevere. After all, viewers who have watched the movie have completed a questionnaire survey on the movie "Mr. Red Carpet", and the results are really not very satisfying.
However, there have been too many movies like "Mr. Red Carpet" that think that withdrawal is a smart choice, but in fact destroys the emotional bond of the audience, and looking back at those movies that "escaped", the ending is not always good.
One, the work "Super Family".
During the Spring Festival in 2022, "Super Family" has become the first choice for many audiences?
The quality of the comedy produced by the team of Happy Twist has always been consistent, and these comedy themes are very much in line with the atmosphere of family fun. Coupled with Shen Teng, the box office leader, no matter how you look at it, "Super Family" is always a popular program during the Spring Festival.
Although there is only one movie with the same theme in the same schedule, "This Killer is Not Calm", "Super Family" still chose to leave before its official release.
The official explanation given is that the film cannot be released due to technical problems. However, the reason behind the films that were heavily promoted before the post-production work was completed was probably due to the panic caused by too much funding, and it was also likely that the competitors in the same schedule were too strong.
Not only because the sequel to "Changjin Lake" "Watergate Bridge" broke the first place in the Chinese film box office, Zhang Yimou's "Sniper", "Miracle" starring Yi Yang Qianxi and "Four Seas" starring Shen Teng have all confirmed their release dates.
Things seemed to be going badly, and he quickly quit "Super Family". Although "Super Family" seems to lack confidence in its own quality, it has not shown surprising dark horse strength after its scheduled release date.
This film is promoted with Shen Teng as the protagonist, but in fact, its "number" is not much, and it is also a typical "pseudo-film", so its final box office revenue is only 300 million.
Second, the book "Brother, Hello".
Brother, Hello", a film that brings together popular actors in the Happy Twist team, also chose to withdraw and re-release.
Whether it is Ma Li and Wei Xiang's partner, or Chang Yuan, an experienced player, the final box office income only reached 54.7 billion.
First of all, the plot of the film presents a bookkeeping style, and it also cleverly incorporates some clichéd time-traveling elements. The delicate depiction of family affection gives people a sense of immediacy like "Hello, Li Huanying", and even the title of the movie has a certain sense of imitation.
In the face of such a copycat product, the audience is obviously reluctant to accept it, even in the re-selected schedule, there are no competitors, and this fact cannot be ignored.
Third, the book "Ryoma Spirit".
The former Jackie Chan was a guarantee of quality, and now Jackie Chan has also begun to make money.
People originally had high expectations for "Dragon Horse Spirit", because the trailer showed many action scenes of Jackie Chan's big brother. Although Liu Haocun's personal style has been somewhat affected during the promotion of the film, the audience still hopes to give Jackie Chan a face.
However, "Spirit of Ryoma" was forced to retreat because of the release date of "Avatar 2" and seemed evenly matched with this big Hollywood production, but choosing to escape was not in line with Jackie Chan's big brother film style.
When the film was released, many viewers expressed contempt for the practice, and the final box office revenue was only 200 million.
Fourth, the work "King of the Sky".
"King of the Sky" has continuously announced the release date on May Day and National Day, and successfully attracted the audience to walk several laps.
The theme of the film is very unique, focusing mainly on test pilots in the Air Force, while the starring roles are Hu Jun, who rose to fame with "Changjin Lake", and Wang Yibo, who is currently very popular.
The subject matter of this work is very appealing, and the cast is excellent, and as long as it is released as scheduled, the patience of the audience will not be exhausted. However, the production team does not seem to have given up completely, and they continue to work overtime to try to make up for the lack of special effects. It is understood that the frequent withdrawal of this film is mainly due to the lack of special effects, which is not attractive enough compared with large-scale Hollywood movies, which has led to the disappointment of the audience's expectations many times.
The final box office of the film was indeed worth such an effort, and although it originally had a box office of 3 billion, the actual box office only reached 800 million.
Fifth, the work "Chinese Ping Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back".
Deng Chao's work "Chinese Ping Pong" was originally planned to be contested during the Spring Festival, but because the competition was too strong, "Man Jianghong" and "The Wandering Earth 2" had already shown strong competition before their release.
Even though Deng Chao's film was supported by his wife, Sun Li, and placed the cameo Wu Jing in the position of the main actor, it did not succeed in deceiving the audience.
Because "Chinese Ping Pong" set a high tone at the beginning, but in the end it could only retreat in disappointment, and the box office only reached 100 million, and it could not even recover the cost.
Summary section. Ning Hao and Andy Lau co-starred in the movie "Mr. Red Carpet", when the trailer was released in the early stage, it was obvious that it wanted to show a fresh style, and emphasized the concept of "not pursuing gossip, not engaging in funny plots, and not pursuing family joy".
However, in the end, this movie did not choose other films in the Spring Festival schedule, but decisively tore off the fig leaf on his face.
At present, the plot of "Mr. Red Carpet" has lost its mystery, and Andy Lau has also shown his average level of box office appeal, but it is still unknown whether he will be able to restore his face in the end.
Would you be inclined to support this kind of runaway film?
