enters 2021, after a year of silence in the movie market, it has finally gradually restored its former active atmosphere. First, there was a wave of movie-watching craze in the Lunar New Year stalls, and "Hello, Li Huanying" with Douban 8.1 and a box office exceeding 5.3 billion appeared. Then it ushered in the re-screening of the global classic "Avatar", which can be said to have saved many audiences from famine troubles. In addition, on March 19, the audience ushered in a number of new films, once again set off a small wave of movie watching.
Among them, the most anticipated and eye-catching comedy movie "Hotel Sun Never Sets" has to be withdrawn and re-fixed. The film is mainly directed by Feng Yiping, Liu Junmeng, and Hao Xinyue, with Huang Cailun , Zhang Huiwen, He Zijun and other leading stars, and Shen Teng especially starred. However, even if it did not show enough to make a good start, after the film landed on the big screen on the 19th, it not only failed to gain recognition, but also suffered a sluggish box office, and word-of-mouth results.
First of all, according to the real-time box office data of Maoyan Professional Edition, the film has been released for 3 days, with a total gross box office of 15.973 million and a single-day box office of 2.20.7 million, which is much lower than the re-screened "Avatar". , It’s not even as good as "Hello, Li Huanying", "Crowd", "Chinatown Detective 3" and many other popular New Year movies that have been released for more than one month.
Along with the bad box office comes overwhelming bad reviews. The Douban short review page of "Hotel The Sun Never Sets" has been occupied by a one-star negative review. Douban scores as low as 3.1, and even encountered netizens complaining: 2021's worst theater-line movie. Even Maoyan and Taopiao, who have always been tolerant, are constantly scolding.
Even more surprisingly, the director Liu Junmeng sent a clarification letter in the early hours of the 21st morning to a few things. The most striking of these is,First, the movie "The Sun Never Sets" has nothing to do with Happy Twist; second, Shen Teng is a cameo, but the producer and the propaganda team must forcefully promote the "starring"; third, we are not making a comedy. . After reading the apology letter, the author suddenly remembered the famous saying of Li Chengru 's "Sanru" to describe the process of watching "The Sun Never Sets": like sitting on needles, like a thorn on the back, like a thorn in the throat.
From the beginning of the film, you can see that the film’s lack of confidence. Similar to the obsessive-compulsive disorder in "Warm Hug", the film also moved out the so-called "coordinated approach." What does this show? A batch of Chinese comedy movies no longer know how to portray characters with distinctive characters. They can only use some extremely boring stereotypes in life. It’s really disappointing. I encountered netizens’ swear words and no problem at all~
What is even more intolerable is that Zhang Huiwen, the former " seeking girl", is very cute in this film. , It’s just that the harder she showed herself, the more the audience felt distressed. After all, in such a movie, many actors have become instrumentalists, and they are still screaming at the audience with outdated jokes. Just like Tengger who appeared at the end of the film, the first time I saw the uncle dressed up as cute, everyone felt very pleasantly surprised. If I watched too much, the freshness disappeared.
In addition, the happy twist film " Li Cha's Aunt " also starring Huang Cailun before, although the reputation is also very bad, but at least 600 million at the box office. According to the data of Maoyan Professional Edition, "The Sun Never Sets Hotel" predicts that the total box office is only 22.046 million. "The Sun Never Sets Hotel", which lacks sincerity and breakthrough, is just another self-repetition on the assembly line. At the same time, it has once again exposed the shortcomings of Chinese comedy movies, always waiting until the day when the audience’s interest is polished.Only when I remembered, creation is a matter of mind.
Finally, at this point in the movie, the author thinks that it is normal to change files. There is no good plot, no well-known actors, and it is a comedy in the non-mainstream market. No matter how you look at it, there is not much In the market, it is a wise move to change files. But if you circulate money, you really deserve to be scolded~
