This is not surprising. Who among the four best-selling actors in Once upon a Time in Hong Kong actually did it, but it was a new generation of Hua Dan's Secret Visitor, and the other side's box office was twice as high as that of Once upon a Time in Hong Kong. Among many blockbusters, there is also a movie that is very surprising. It is The True Three Kingdoms starring Louis Koo, Naza, Han Geng and many other famous actors.
It is a rare special effects blockbuster on May Day, but its box office results make people feel chilling. On the second day of the film's release, the box office was only 7.5 million. At that time, the cost of this film was 300 million. If we follow the development trend of today's test results and refer to its film arrangement and load rate, the producers are unlikely to reverse, and the total box office will not easily exceed 50 million in the end, which is considered a real bankruptcy.
It stands to reason that the theme and main lineup of True Three Kingdoms should be loved by young audiences. It may continue to be a potential explosive stock in May 1st, but why is it so powerful? Even Louis Koo, the last chance of Hong Kong films, can't save it?
The accumulated hiccups at the box office have greatly touched several "rules" in the entertainment circle. In particular, these stocks have not been released for many years, and once the schedule is clear, it is very easy for movies that skip several files to turn over.
Undoubtedly, the most striking example is Jing Wong's future police, which was an unprecedented film promotion at that time. Also known as his first big production in China, many fans are looking forward to it. However, there was no information after the film arrived. The original film was delayed for more than seven months because of product quality problems, and the consequences of the intensive release were really a shoddy drama.
And Liu Yifei's movie White Ghost. Due to several screenings, fans were taken care of by this obscene operation and simply didn't go to see it right away. In the end, the movie box office was only1.800 million, which made investors lose everything.
"True Three Kingdoms" committed the problem of postponement. Produced on March 20 17 and ended on October 0 165438/kloc-0. The film would have been shown on 20 18. At that time, many fans were eagerly looking forward to the large-scale release of this film. After all, the film project investment is 300 million, plus it is also the theme of the Three Kingdoms.
After waiting for three and a half years, 20 18 often quits because investors have no confidence in movies. It should be seen from this time that this film has the characteristics of a bad drama, and even investors don't like the film invested by their own projects. It's obvious how bad this movie is. Secondly, the director of this film is also very unreliable. In the films that have been played, the quality is not half past one. It is not unreasonable to entrust the investment of 300 million projects to such a film director, and it is not unreasonable for investors to lose their money in the end.
Now all other Hollywood blockbusters have been May Day, but the score of "True Three Kingdoms" still hasn't gone out. This film is already very poor, but the producers are hiding something. As long as they don't move, people who don't understand will congratulate them, but the audience is not stupid. Rotten is rotten. It's boring to play such a trick again.
Louis Koo has an unshirkable obligation in the movie "Hiccup", and he abandoned the user evaluation. At first, he couldn't accept the bad play, and even the co-producers felt sorry for Louis Koo. When the film came back, he used the word "special street" to try to force his respect, but this kind of deception always makes hilarious jokes for the audience, which has no practical significance. Hong Kong movies are not as good as before. The stars of the previous generation are too old to play, and the famous actors of the next generation are too young to be evaluated by users.
Only Louis Koo has expectations. Some people say that Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok can do it, but it is not easy for Aaron Kwok to choose a Taiwanese version. Although his performance is very good, but after 20 17, he hasn't acted in a movie that broke through 100 million. Zifeng Zhang, who collaborated with him in Secret Visitor, will release a movie with a box office of 900 million yuan in 2020. He is an old or bad actor.
For Andy Lau, he is not limited to making Hong Kong films. In 2020, there will be many films about Andy Lau, such as A Sea of People tailored for Andy Lau, and even Hi Mom and Detective Chinatown 3 all have elements of Andy Lau. His star value has surpassed that of all Hong Kong movie stars. When Hong Kong movies are not his main business, then it will definitely not be him who carries the flag.
In the early days, Louis Koo won the Best Actor in Golden Horse for a wolf in Kill the Wolf, but only this movie can't convince the audience. If he wants to be invincible in Hong Kong again, he must make more and more cost-effective films to attract audiences. Unfortunately, there is a very big problem with his performance.
First of all, Louis Koo is not spiritual enough. 15 years, when he filmed Gangdom, that spirituality was unforgettable. The second is that there is no improvement. He couldn't get out of his shell from beginning to end. No matter what role you play, the character's temperament is the same as in the past, but the brand image of an addict in The Disciple has been greatly improved.
Louis Koo and Nick Cheung cooperated to get 10 movies, but they were repeatedly robbed by the other side, which shows that he himself is not explosive. All the above are minor problems, as long as he knows the problems in his performance and corrects them. In fact, he has no chance to change it. In 2020, his six stock films will have the title of "True Three Kingdoms". How many other movies are classics?
Although such a bad drama really makes money quickly, it is a little hard to understand that Louis Koo, as the "last hope of Hong Kong films", knows that the burden on his shoulders is heavy, but he has not settled down to make a good film. Louis Koo acted in too many bad plays and was persuaded by the famous Hong Kong-made director Du Qifeng. He suggested that Louis Koo shoot more good works and keep users' comments so as to keep the audience's love for me.
In response to the warnings of fans and film directors, Louis Koo said: "I want to shoot, and many people want me!" The "many people" he often talks about are these children who are going to school. According to statistics, gradually from 2008, Louis Koo has been doing charity in obscurity, and he has become the "ancient headmaster" and "school madman" in everyone's mouth.
At that time, many people didn't know it until he was praised by CCTV. The reason why he has made bad plays in recent years has come out. Seeing that he has donated money to charitable foundations to build colleges and universities for many years, giving children a chance to study, people are moved. At this stage, he has donated to more than 100 colleges and universities, and this situation has not stopped. In that case, Louis Koo will probably continue to pick up bad dramas and go to college again, that's all.
Louis Koo made a bad play in order to do charity better. This reason is very good, and everyone is also very suitable for Gu Zi to do charity again. As he has always said, you can continue to do charity while you can still make money. He predicted that building one more school would enable a large number of children to go to school, which is much better than building one more cell.
But must public welfare be guaranteed by making bad dramas? He can also select and shoot excellent works. Although it took too long to achieve his expected goal, he can find a perfect method after all. This psychological state of disapproval is really hard to bear. When Louis Koo was applied to public welfare, he didn't want to get rid of his performance because of bad drama. At least he is expected to pull out a masterpiece in many bad dramas, which makes people feel that he is not the "king of bad movies" and has the expectation of saving the ups and downs of Hong Kong movies. what do you think?
