Dapeng is really smart, he knows that he chose to retreat during the Spring Festival, the period of 'fairy fighting', and arranged "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" to be released on New Year's Day, which can be described as 'repairing the plank road in the open and crossing the Chen Cang in secret'.
This not only avoided the head-on confrontation with "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life 2", but also won the advantage of film scheduling.
This trick is so wonderful! As a result, the movie sold nearly 1.3 billion, and sure enough, strategy is better than bravery. And Andy Lau's "Mr. Red Carpet" ended up dismal at the box office because of the wrong schedule.
This proves once again that the success of the movie depends not only on the content, but also on the timing of its release. ”
If you want me to say, Dapeng's move is really wonderful. In today's era of "the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys", choosing the right schedule is more important than anything else.
This is like the ancients said: "The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people." Dapeng is well versed in this, so he chose "Tianshi" and gave up "people".
Of course, I'm not saying that the content of his films is bad, it's just that his strategy is superior compared to other blockbusters.
Some people may say that the movie "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" has an average story and embarrassing performances, but I want to say that this is exactly what Dapeng is clever about.
He is well aware of his strengths and weaknesses, so he avoids them and chooses a battlefield that is beneficial to him.
This is like what Sun Tzu said in "The Art of War": "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." "Dapeng did it.
However, we can't ignore the overall state of domestic films.
In recent years, although the domestic film market has been booming, there are not many works that can really make people shine.
A lot of times, we're repeating other people's stories or spinning around old routines.
This phenomenon is reminiscent of the old saying: "Those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die." "We should not be satisfied with imitation, but should seek innovation and breakthroughs.
The success of Dapeng's films lies not only in his chosen strategy, but also because of his keen observation and deep thinking about social reality.
The social phenomena and character relationships reflected in the annual meeting are all real problems we are facing at the moment.
This kind of content that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people can naturally arouse the audience's resonance and thinking. This is exactly what domestic films lack.
Let's compare the other two blockbusters of this year, "Mr. Red Carpet" and "Goldfinger".
Although these two films have a strong star cast and production team, they are relatively flat in terms of story and content.
They seem to lack a deep power in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult for the audience to be impressed after watching them.
This also reflects from the side that relying solely on stars and production cannot guarantee the quality of the movie.
Of course, we can't ignore the important role of star effect in the film market. The appeal and influence of celebrities cannot be underestimated.
Although "Mr. Red Carpet" did not do well at the box office, if it was changed to a different schedule or a more appealing actor, maybe the result would be different.
This also tells us that the success of the film is a combination of various factors, and no link can be ignored.
Looking back on the whole movie, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" is undoubtedly a commendable work.
It has a certain level in storytelling, acting, production, etc., and more importantly, it dares to face social realities.
This kind of courage and sense of responsibility is something that many movies lack at the moment.
In conclusion, I would like to say that Dapeng's cleverness lies not only in the time he chooses to be released, but also in his keen insight and in-depth thinking about social reality. This is exactly what domestic films need.
If we can continue to innovate and make breakthroughs in stories and content, I believe that domestic films will be able to move towards a brighter future.
