The lively Spring Festival stalls, a few are happy and a few are sad. "Mr. Red Carpet" officially announced its withdrawal from the Spring Festival file today, and the box office of 80 million in 7 days was not ideal. Could it be that Liu Tianwang, a model worker in the entertainment industry, overturned?
"Mr. Red Carpet" is the first film that Ning Hao and Andy Lau have collaborated on as directors and actors after "Crazy Stone" 17 years ago.
The film tells the story of the king Liu Weichi (played by Andy Lau) who has been in the film for 40 years and has always longed to win the actor. He decided to collaborate with director Lin Hao (played by Ning Hao) to shoot a rural film, thus gaining international fame at the festival. For this reason, Liu Weichi went deep into the countryside to experience life, personally attracted investment, and refused to use stand-ins, but this caused a series of absurd farces that made people laugh and cry, and also showed the various states of the entertainment industry.
As an absurd comedy introduced by Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry, "Mr. Red Carpet" relies on the real status quo of the film and television industry, and exposes and reflects on reality through spicy and self-deprecating expressions.
Whether it is Tianwang entering the countryside to experience life in order to win awards, or capital pointing fingers and interfering with film creation, behind the self-examination that pokes at the pain points of reality, it is a deeper thinking about the industry and the times, so many viewers who have watched this movie commented that this movie is "a spicy comment on the entertainment industry, a review of the times, boldly open the microphone and calmly open the gun".
There's no denying that "Mr. Red Carpet" isn't a family movie, and not everyone will love its style. But what I want to say is that this simple and rich film is a surprise and a worthy encouragement. I hope that the next release will get more support.
