On the afternoon of December 29, the box office of "Qing Ya Ji" exceeded 300 million. In the evening of the same day, the box office of " bomb disposal expert 2" exceeded 500 million. Although Andy Lau's fans may disdain to compare, and related fans of "Qing Ya Ji" do not intend to compare, but the same schedule will inevitably link the fate of the two movies invisibly. In the market-level confrontation alone, the two have indeed fallen in love and killed each other for several days, but how long can this love and killing last?
The argument that Hong Kong movies are dead has been seen many times in recent years. Objectively, compared to the golden age of Hong Kong movies in the last century, Hong Kong movies have indeed fallen behind in terms of production and influence in recent years, and they can be on the big screen. The Hong Kong stars are almost the same group as they were 20 years ago. However, " Wushuang ", "Sweeping Drugs 2 Heaven and Earth Showdown" and other movies with a box office of over 1 billion have appeared, and some have won back some face for Hong Kong movies. Even Wang Jing, who has been complained about, also handed over "Chasing the Dragon". Such a well-known work.
After "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" met with the public, although there were still dissatisfied voices, most of the audience still said that they saw the strength of Hong Kong movies, the rhythm is tight, and the performance is delicate. What "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" can rely on is not only the personal charm of Andy Lau and , but the performance of a good quality commercial film in all aspects. Many people said that if it were not for the epidemic, the box office performance of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" would be even more limitless. Even if the current situation is not particularly optimistic, there are still fanatics who let go of 1.5 billion and 2 billion.
However, cannot become a forest . The unrealized market of "Emergency Rescue" and "Wonder Woman 1984" was fully ignited, and it was finally realized by "Bomb Disposer 2" and "Qing Ya Ji". Yes, whether you like "Qing Ya Ji" in terms of personal preference or aesthetics, you cannot deny that it has exerted its power in igniting the market. Despite the large and small contributions, both "Bomb Disposal Experts 2" and "Qing Ya Ji" objectively promoted the key week for China to sprint 20 billion box office in 2020.
Guo Jingming’s movies are usually considered to have obvious fan-oriented characteristics, and they are more prone to go high and low, and the box office dives greatly. However, during this period, there is another person who has really made a big jump in the box office, that is, the romance film "Will you still love me tomorrow" starring Yang Ying and Li Hongqi . This film with a box office of over 35 million on the first day, over 16 million in the next day, and less than 67 million in six days of release. Its box office trend may be exactly what many viewers expected of the box office trend of "Qing Ya Ji".
However, "Qing Ya Ji" is just better than many spectators with a joke mentality expected. Although there is still a lot of room for improvement in the overall level of the film, photography, art, and story framing have done a good job, thanks to the original " Onmyoji " author Meng Zhenyu and the film's director of photography and art director. Human skill is really good. But as the director and screenwriter Guo Jingming did not tell the story well enough, and some wasted excellent configuration, which is regrettable.
Of course, the box office performance of "Qing Ya Ji" is more impressive than quality. Although the drop reached 26% the next day, it was still much stronger than the big diving trend of the general festival special film for fans. In addition, the decline of "Qing Ya Ji" in the following days was well controlled. Since the 27th, the box office of "Qing Ya Ji" dropped lower than that of the previous day for three consecutive days. Less than 45%, not only did it stand out in the same period, even in the winter of the previous year, the decline was relatively low.
How long can "Bomb Disposaler 2" and "Qing Ya Ji" fall in love and kill each other? I'm afraid it's not long. Because on December 31st, the competitors they face are no longer each other, but the new films "Send You A Little Red Flower" and "Warm Hug", which will be drawn on New Year's Day. In particular, "Send You A Little Red Flower" starred by Yiyan Qianxi had a pre-sale box office of over 100 million on the first day 5 days before the release, and the film was released at 18:00 on that day, which accounted for one of the market share. Gao can imagine, it will pose a great threat to the old movies in theaters.
of course, standing moreFrom a macro perspective, more topical and box office films will be released to make the film market more prosperous. No matter which one you like, do your best to support it.
