At 14:28 on January 26, 2023, the total box office (including pre-sales) of the 2023 Spring Festival period (January 21-January 27) exceeded 5.5 billion. " Azolla ", " The Wandering Earth 2" and " Bears Haunted · Accompany Me "Bear Core" " ranked among the top three in the Spring Festival box office. Judging from Maoyan data, as of January 26, the box office difference between "Man Hong Hong" and "The Wandering Earth 2" is 300 million. What is the difference between them?
"Red in the River" is directed by Zhang Yimou, with the participation of a large number of popular stars such as Shen Teng, Yi Yang Qianxi, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Yue Yunpeng, and the cast is unprecedentedly powerful. "Red in the River" is very exciting in terms of character creation and plot suspense. In recent years, under the siege of theme-themed movies, costume-themed movies have gradually declined, especially large-scale historical costume-themed movies. What's more, they have not been seen in the box office charts of film history. "Man Hong Hong" also brought too many surprises to the audience. The first is the strong cast.
"The Wandering Earth 2" is directed by Guo Fan, and features many powerful actors such as Wu Jing, Li Xuejian, Andy Lau, Sha Yi, etc. The acting, both in terms of plot and visual effects, is simply impeccable and can be said to be the king of Chinese science fiction movies;
are two equally exciting movies, but there is a difference of 300 million in box office. So what is the difference between "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Man Jiang Hong"? Personally, I think that in comparison, the cast of "River Red" is relatively stronger, but the most important thing is the proportion of films scheduled. "River Red" accounts for 28.8% of the films scheduled, while "The Wandering Earth 2" accounts for 25.3%. There is a huge difference.
Although "Man Jiang Hong" has achieved great success, it has great regrets for Zhang Yimou. He had planned to watch the movie and the actors were excited. But all things considered, such a high-reversal, high-suspense, and high-concept work would eventually lose the story and sacrifice the characters, so he had to give up. This was also a huge regret that he could not make up for.
Objectively speaking, "Man Jiang Hong" and "The Wandering Earth 2" have different focus directions. Different people may have different opinions on which one is better! Finally, if you were asked to rate these two movies, how would you rate them? Feel free to speak freely in the comment area!
