This year's Spring Festival film market is extremely lively, and many masterpieces have appeared one after another, dazzling the audience. Among them, "Hot and Hot" directed by Jia Ling successfully stood out with its excellent word-of-mouth and box office results, and became the biggest winner of the Spring Festival in 2024. And Shen Teng and Han Han's "Flying Life 2" also received a good box office.
However, in this highly competitive schedule, there are also several movies that have chosen to be withdrawn. "Let's Shake the Sun Together" and "Mr. Red Carpet" chose to postpone their releases because they were worried about poor box office, and this temporary change of mind caught audiences off guard.
In contrast, the box office performance of "Article 20" was also slightly embarrassing. Although the film has a good performance in terms of comedic effect and plot depth, the box office results have not matched the quality of the film. This begs the question, what is the reason for this result?
In my opinion, "Article 20" is definitely a movie worth watching. The characters in the film are vivid, especially the role of Hao Xiuping played by Zhao Liying, which leaves a deep impression. Her appearance is simple and realistic, perfectly presenting the image of an ordinary woman living at the bottom of society. And her acting skills are equally excellent, which makes people really feel the inner world of the characters she plays.
In addition to character building, "Article 20" has also put a lot of effort into the detailed portrayal. By showing the poverty and hardships of Hao Xiuping's family, the film gives the audience a deeper understanding of the living conditions of the people at the bottom. This realistic detail not only makes the film more believable, but also makes it easier for the audience to resonate.
In contrast, some domestic films and TV series often seem too deliberate and false when portraying the image of the poor. They often use exaggerated and one-sided ways to portray the living conditions of the poor, ignoring authenticity and credibility. This practice not only disappointed and dissatisfied the audience, but also damaged the overall image of domestic film and television works.
Therefore, I think the success of Article 20 in shaping the image of the poor is worth learning from other domestic film and television works. Only through real and delicate expressions can the audience have a deeper understanding of the living conditions of the people at the bottom, so as to arouse their resonance and attention.
Finally, I would like to say that although the box office performance of Article 20 is not satisfactory, its artistic value and social significance cannot be ignored. It tells a tragic story in a comedic way, making the audience laugh and think about the current state of law and society. This entertaining and educational approach not only makes it easier for the audience to accept and understand the theme of the film, but also makes the film more in-depth and connotative. It is hoped that in the future, there will be more domestic film and television works like "Article 20", which will show the living conditions of the people at the bottom in a real and delicate way, and arouse the attention and reflection of the society.
