The actress who ruled this type of film in every era will be called "sweetheart", and meg ryan pushed this title to her forties. Reese witherspoon was named the "New American Sweetheart" for her legally blonde series, and Drew Barrymore and kate hudson briefly occupied this throne. In recent two years, this title has gradually shifted to Anne Hathaway and katherine heigl. The meaning behind this title is box office appeal. Since 2002, such commercial films starring Reese witherspoon have grossed more than $55 million in North America, and three of them have grossed more than $ 1 billion. Sandra bullock and Drew Barrymore, as well as the newly established katherine heigl, are backed by the hard indicator of the US dollar. A sweetheart is not called for nothing, and it is absolutely impossible without a few pounds of real ink.
Throughout the Chinese-speaking areas, except for Sammi Cheng in the early years of the century, there are almost no actresses with real box office appeal for so many years, precisely because of the lack of such films. I hope perfection can give this kind of film a chance in China film market, and give the actress a chance to be a sweetheart.

The heroine of Hollywood romantic movies has great box office appeal.
Reese witherspoon and meg ryan are both American "sweethearts". Hollywood actresses who really have box office appeal are all masters of "women's movies" without exception. They occupy the forefront of the actress's salary list, and dominate the film interest of these films and female audiences. Among the nine actresses listed below, two are Oscar winners and three are nominated. Don't think this kind of film is very good. It's not that easy for the boss to do stupid things and pretend to be cute.

Reference 2: Hong Kong box office diva
At the beginning of the new century, a wave of romantic movies appeared in Hong Kong.
After the first day of Chick flick in Chinese-speaking areas, Sammi Cheng won the love of a large number of audiences with her fashionable, hard-working, sensitive, fragile and slightly neurotic female image on the screen, and became the "white-collar spokesperson of Hong Kong" and the record holder of "the highest box office actress" in the ten years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Among them, "Slimming Men and Women" starring her earned more than 40 million yuan at the box office in Hong Kong, making it the highest-grossing romantic comedy in the history of Hong Kong movies. After Sammi Cheng, another Hong Kong actress, Miriam Yeung, became popular on the big screen with a series of romantic comedies. Compared with Sammi Cheng, Miriam Yeung's screen image is more exaggerated and popular. In the years after the golden age of Hong Kong films, romantic films reached a high level, and several representatives, such as Sammi Cheng, Miriam Yeung and even Charlene Choi, emerged. It can be said that it was that wave of romantic films that made the sunset glow of Hong Kong movies last for several years. Among them, the most iconic figure is Sammi Cheng, who is also a rare actress who has really dominated the film industry since the 20th century, and has formed a unique performance style and role characteristics, which can be called after the first day of romantic films in Chinese-speaking areas.
