" Tomorrow War " was released in mainland China for 38 days and won a box office of 658 million yuan. Compared with the investment of 450 million Hong Kong dollars, this box office result is not ideal.
Putting aside huge investment and hard science fiction themes, it is much worse in reputation and box office compared with Hong Kong films such as " Anger·Serious Case ", " Bomb Disposal Expert 2", and " Unparalleled ".
"The War of Tomorrow" did not achieve the expected results in the mainland market, but its performance in the Hong Kong market is impressive enough. Since its launch in Hong Kong theaters on August 25, the box office has been rising steadily, breaking through the 50 million mark and the cumulative box office has reached 50.4 million Hong Kong dollars.
So what are the top 12 movies in "The Legend of the War"? Let's talk about it today.
12, " Yangtze River No. 7 ": Box office 51.44 million
The last film that Stephen Chow is currently starring. Seeing his unshaven beard and gray-haired look, he probably had made up his mind to say goodbye to the audience on the big screen.
"Yangtze River Seven" is a movie full of innocence and fairy tales. The theme conveyed is also very simple: as long as you have backbone and study hard, even if you are poor, you will be respected wherever you go. week Xingxing has not changed, and it is similar to the efforts and struggles in " Comedy King ".
Many plots in the movie are actually projections of Zhou Xingxing's personal experience, such as hitting cockroaches, beloved toys called Yangtze River One, and seeing UFO. As we all know, Stephen Chow grew up in a single-parent family and lacked fatherly love when he was a child, so he expressed strong fatherly love in the movie.
11, " God of Gambling 2": The box office is 52.58 million
Wang Jing has the highest box office movie in Hong Kong, and it is also the last peak of his gambling universe. The later " Gambling Man 1999", " King of Thousand Kings 2000" and " Macau Storm " series are not as good as the previous "God of Gambling" and " Gambling Man " series.
"God of Gambling 2" continues the plot of the first part, perfectly interpreting what it means to be in the world and be involuntarily. If a woman who is in the world and who has no good ending after following the Glory of Gambling will not end up.
This movie has many famous scenes, Qiu Shuzhen makes a brilliant debut, Tony Leung performs quick clothes, Xu Jinjiang 's Super Saiyan theory, and Xie Miao does not communicate with people with low IQ. The more eye-catching ones are Qiu Xiaochi, who is cruel and ruthless, and it is difficult to associate him with the cowardly Xu Xian. His acting skills are amazing.
10, "Infernal Affairs": The box office is 55.05 million
Creative inspiration comes from John Woo 's " Face Change ", but changing faces into an exchange of identity and inner heart. They have an identity that does not belong to them, and the entanglement is constantly tortured like in the hell of the infinite.
film is different from traditional Hong Kong police and gangster films. It no longer continues fighting and hot scenes. It wins with a compact plot and a clean and neat narrative style, focusing on portraying the psychological changes of the characters. Every actor has basically reached the peak of his acting skills and is an insurmountable classic.
The success of "Infernal Affairs" not only gave the Hong Kong film market a shot of a heart-warming shot, but also caused a wave of "undercover"-themed police and gangster films. Not only was it remade by foreign countries, but TVB also followed suit and filmed undercover dramas such as " Water Margin Infernal Affairs ", "Study Police Sniper", and "Thunder Drug War".
09, "Mermaid": Box office 56.22 million
Stephen Chow made a move and basically swept the box office. This film is the first movie in the mainland to have a box office of over 3 billion yuan, and it won the championship of that year without any effort in Hong Kong.
Although the story is simple, it is still the unchanging Stephen Chow movie. It has both a simple love fairy tale and a theme that calls for the protection of the ocean, and can make people laugh during the movie viewing process. This is Stephen Chow's magic.
Now I want to ask, when will " Mermaid 2" be released? However, this also shows that Stephen Chow is serious and strives to achieve the most perfect state before meeting everyone.
08, " Red Agent District ": The box office is 56.91 million
This film is of great significance to Jackie Chan . First, before "Red Agent District", he had made many attempts to Hollywood , but all returned in a defeat. "Red Agent District" allowed him to successfully enter the North American market and establish his position as a world kung fu superstar; second, it was successfully released in the mainland and can be called the founder of the mainland New Year's Eve; third, it challenged the thrilling stunt shots, jumped from the rooftop on the 5th floor to the balcony of the 4th floor of the building opposite, completely conquering foreigners.
"Red Fan District" is also the third collaboration between Anita Mui and Jackie Chan. Whether it is the previous "Miracle" and " Drunk Fist 2", Anita Mui's joining can always bring a lot of comedy elements to the film.
07, " Police Story 4: Simple Task ": Box office 57.51 million
Jackie Chan's highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong is the end of the name "Chen Jiaju" and the last movie of " Uncle Piao ".
"Police Story" has come to the fourth part, continuing the combination of Tang Jili + Jackie Chan in the previous part. The pattern is bigger than the previous part. He played with nuclear weapons and the scene is also bigger. Jackie Chan continued to challenge the difficult part, jumped into a plane, fell into an ice hole, and fought with the shark in the water. Every shot was extremely thrilling.
There are also regrets. Chen Jiaju’s genuine girlfriend Maggie Cheung did not appear, nor did she have the heroine like Michelle Yeoh , but she was replaced by Wu Chenjun , which is Kong Ci in the TV series "Storm and Clouds".
06, " Ip Man 3": Box office 60.42 million
"Ip Man" has arrived in the third part, and it is still a combination of Ye Weixin and Donnie Yen . However, the action director changed from Sammo Hung to the world's number one martial arts finger Yuan Heping , and Ye Zheng and Ye Jun serve as Wing Chun consultants, maintaining the level of the first two parts, and it is exciting.
main three highlights. First, Donnie Yen and Zhang Jin two Wing Chun masters fight each other, fighting with each other, and fighting to the roundtable battles of "Ip Man 2" are both a match; second, Tyson joining, boxing champions fight Wing Chun , which is lively when you think about it; third, literary dramas are outstanding, focusing on portraying the relationship between Ip Man and his wife, and the sweetness is comparable to a love movie.
05, " Shaolin Football ": Box office 60.73 million
Before "Infernal Affairs", Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Football" was the real rescue work. It not only broke the box office record, but also won him the first Best Actor Trophy and Best Director on the Academy Awards . This is the only movie in the history of the Academy Awards where the starring director won the award at the same time.
"Shaolin Football" is also the last time Uncle Da collaborated with Zhou Xingxing during his lifetime. It's a pity that he was not released in the mainland that year because the movie was first released in Hong Kong before it passed the approval.
video combines football and special stunts, with excellent visual effects, and frequently golden sentences: If you don’t have a dream, what is the difference between a salted fish? The ball is not like this. A fire in my heart will not be extinguished.
04, "Kung Fu": Box office 61.27 million
As we all know, Stephen Chow learned martial arts when he was a child and watched many martial arts movies. His idol was Bruce Lee , so this is also one of the root causes of his filming "Kung Fu". Among them, the scene of Zhucheng comes from his childhood growth environment, and partly influenced by the movie "Seventy-Two Tenants".
"Kung Fu" is Stephen Chow's culmination and pinnacle work. Unfortunately, Uncle Da failed to participate in the performance due to schedule issues, otherwise it would be another good story.
video pays tribute to many movies, such as the aforementioned "Seventy-Two Tenants", as well as Stephen Chow's own "Shaolin Football" and the Cantonese feature film "Tagata's Palm" he watched when he was a child.
For example, movie elements such as "Gone with the Wind", "The Shining", "Silence of the Lambs", and "The Dragon Crossing the River" pay tribute. Even Stephen Chow insisted on paying 60,000 Hong Kong dollars as copyright fee because he used the term "Jin Yong's novel".
03, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years": Box office of 61.82 million
After the novel was published, Hong Kong director Ma Weihao liked it very much and wanted to remake it into a movie, but it was not agreed in the end. In the end, the novel author Jiubadao was filmed by himself as the director, which was also his first film work.
This film is a template for youth films. It has both passionate brotherhood and youthful hazy love. The product of the combination of freshness and heavy taste, which makes people unable to stop.
video to some extent affected " To the Youth that We Will Be Away" and then a wave of youth films started, with scenes of bloody, car crashes and abortion emerging one after another. I miss such an irreplicable youth film as "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".
02, "Andy Mui": The box office is 62.4 million
The daughter of Hong Kong is a legend when she is alive, and she still lives in our hearts for more than ten years after her death.
The film is adapted from Sister Mei’s real experience, involving family, love, friendship and career development. The film shows only a part, and there are many criticisms, such as not showing Sister Mei’s luxurious circle of friends and a bunch of bad friends; Leslie Cheung and Sister Mei’s friendship is insufficient; the narrative is like a dragonfly, wanting to cover everything, but not penetrate into the heart of the character.
Although "Andy Mui" is not perfect, I still thank this movie, which made many people recognize Sister Mei and know that there is a Hong Kong daughter who is known as the queen of the film industry in Hong Kong.
01, " Cold War 2": Box office 66.82 million
"Cold War" sold 42.82 million, a great success, giving birth to a sequel, continuing the previous plot, from a confrontation between two heroes to a confrontation between loyal and treacherous, and the pattern is even bigger.
But what really touches people is human emotions. The scenes of Tony Leung, Yang Youning, Wu Yue are so good. In the face of all rules, laws and power, this long-forgotten friendship is really rare.
"Cold War 2" once again dug a lot of pitfalls. Is Li Wenbin loyal or treacherous? What are the people behind him involved? I personally think there is no hope for " Chill War 3". Even if there is one, it will probably be a brand new story and will not continue the previous plot.
"The War of Tomorrow" is still harvesting the box office, and it is only a matter of time before it enters the top ten. Can it break the record of "Cold War 2" and top the championship? Let's wait and see! (Written by: Xiaoyi)
