Chapter 849 Lin Chaoxian: Is this an unexpected disaster?

As time came to December.

The curtain for the mainland's Lunar New Year box office has slowly begun to rise.

12 month 4 day.

"The Legend of the White Fox" and "If the Voice Can't Remember" were released simultaneously in the mainland film market.

to be frank.

Neither of these two films has any big names.

But in terms of grade, [The Red Fox Scholar] is much more high-end than [If I Can't Remember the Voice].

Because "The Legend of the White Fox" is a costume mythological movie.

However, "If the Voice Can't Remember" is a somewhat unconventional old-fashioned urban love story.

Logically speaking, the box office performance of "The Legend of the White Snake" should be better.

After all, with the economic development and the booming popularity of Hanfu in recent years, audiences have become enthusiastic about TV dramas and movies with ancient costumes and styles.

But unfortunately, [Red Fox Scholar] was completely defeated by [If the Voice Can't Be Remembered] in this wave.

The reason is also very simple.

[If You Don't Remember the Voice] is just an old-fashioned urban love story that takes a different approach, but it is still a love story that conforms to the public's aesthetic standards.

The two protagonists of "The Scholar and the White Fox" are both real men.

One of them is the incarnation of a fox.

Man, fox, and it’s a costume mythological film.

Which normal person would like to watch this?

After all, there aren’t many people who like gay things in mainland China.

All I can say is that either there is something wrong with the producer's brain, or there is something wrong with his lower body - he doesn't like drilling holes, he likes to be stabbed.

finally.

[The Scholar of the White Fox] ended its run on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform with a half-price box office of 8900 million RMB.

"If the Voice Can't Remember" took in 1.72 million RMB at half-price box office on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, which is twice as high as "The Scholar of the White Fox".

……

Seeing that the box office revenue of "The Legend of the White Snake" and "If You Can't Remember the Voice" is pretty good.

On December 12, "The King of Bath" landed in the mainland film market.

Moreover, the promotion and publicity of "The King of Bath" was quite lively.

It can't help but be lively.

The signature comedies of Ge Daye and Feng Kuzi are beginning to become outdated.

Xu Zheng, Wang Baobao and Huang Bo, three comedy superstars who got their fame with "Lost in Thailand", have also begun to transform from comedians to directors, and are now shooting other themes.

Even Hao Jian, who starred in Mahua Kaixin, has begun to slow down his pace in comedy after several hit comedies and try to make other types of movies.

The position of comedy films and comedians in mainland China was left vacant, giving space to comedy artists such as Qiao Xiyu, Shachun, Wei Xiang... and so on to come to the fore.

And this "The King of Bathing" is very consistent with the image that Qiao Xiyu got in the "Diaosi Man" in the greenhouse.

Therefore, once it was released, it directly earned 200 million RMB at half-price box office on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, which is approximately equal to 400 million RMB at the traditional physical cinema box office.

You know, this result is already very good.

Because a week later, Lin Chaoxian's "Emergency Rescue", which was withdrawn from last year's Spring Festival schedule, was released. At this point in time, it only grossed 4.85 million yuan at the box office in its original time and space.

Of course. The subsequent box office of "The Bathing King" on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform is about the same as the 200 million yuan of half-price movie tickets.

Without it.

The quality of the movie "The Bathing King" is still a bit mediocre, with too few funny moments and it's too stiff.

Therefore, "The King of Bath" did not get much benefit from the positions vacated by this wave of veteran mainland comedy superstars, and most of the benefits will eventually be taken by Jia Lin's "Hello, Li Huanying" in next year's Spring Festival.

With the movie "Hello, Li Huanying", Jia Lin will become the first superstar-level comedy female artist in the mainland film industry.

It’s just that Jia Lin’s shelf life as a superstar comedy actress is a bit short.

After "Hello, Li Huanying" topped the list, "Hot as Hell" came out right after, which directly shattered his status as a comedy superstar.

But there are gains and losses, and Jia Lin also made a fortune with "Hot and Sizzling".

……

12 month 18 day.

Lin Chaoxian brought his film "The Rescue", which was originally prepared for the Spring Festival of the Year of the Pig but was withdrawn to the New Year of the Year of the Rat, to the mainland film market.

At the beginning, everyone was very optimistic about [Emergency Rescue].

After all, Lin Chaoxian has proven his strength in modern action films with two highly successful films, "Operation Mekong" and "Operation Red Sea".

Moreover, before "Emergency Rescue", there was "The Bravest" which had a box office of 17.06 billion yuan.

However, [Emergency Rescue] failed beyond everyone's expectations.

On the first day, the box office revenue on Changgong Film and Television's VR viewing helmet platform was only half-price 1.73 million yuan.

Just when everyone thought it was a scheduling issue.

On December 12th, "Shock Wave 20" was released.

Directly on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, it earned a half-price box office of 5.12 million yuan, which is equivalent to the box office of 10.24 billion yuan in traditional physical theaters.

Directly shatter the excuse of schedule issues.

At the same time, on December 12, Guo Xiaosi brought his new work after four years, the neon ghost-style "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity".

to be frank.

This wave of Guo Xiaosi's expectations for "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" is benchmarked against Han Han's "Speeding Life" which had a box office of 17.16 billion yuan.

After all, as Guo Xiaosi, who is on par with Hanhan like Murong of the South and Qiao Feng of the North, he feels that he was the first to become a pioneer in the path of writer-to-director. It is a bit difficult for him to accept that he was overtaken by Hanhan.

Therefore, Guo Xiaosi's investment in the promotion of "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" was quite hard and attentive.

But unfortunately, the embarrassing PPT-level special effects movie "Jade Dynasty" four years ago had too far-reaching an impact.

Moreover, the painting style of "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" is a bit too weird.

In addition, four years ago when "Jade Dynasty" was released, Guo Xiaosi was already a little out of fashion. Now, four years later, Guo Xiaosi's popularity has declined even more.

It is said that if you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly.

Now that the wind has dissipated, the flying pigs will naturally fall down.

Therefore, after "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" was released on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, it only took in half-price box office revenue of 2.01 million yuan on the first day, which is equivalent to the 4.02 million yuan box office revenue of traditional physical theaters, and it could not continue to grow.

However, the person most affected by the failure of "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" was not the director Guo Xiaosi, but the director of "The Rescue" Lin Chaoxian.

Because the box office performance of "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" is so close to that of "The Rescue", and the two were released very close to each other, they will naturally be compared together by the audience.

then……

Lin Chaoxian experienced what it meant to be caught in an unexpected disaster and what it meant to be influenced by the company of good people.
