Rich second-generation female stars spend 100 million yuan to make movie with dismal box office results

The movie "Breaking Hell" starring Huang Zihua became more and more courageous during its release period, and entered the top three of the daily box office with extremely low screening. The pre-sale and release box office have already surpassed the 30 million mark, making it the best performing Hong Kong film of the year

Compared to that, 'I Want to See You Again' is a bit awkward

Poor! A second-generation wealthy actress made a movie that cost 100 million yuan and gathered four male stars. On the first day of pre-sale, it was only 160000 yuan

This week, the mainland film market will welcome 10 new films

Among them, there are expensive Hollywood blockbusters such as "The Hunter Craven" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Battle of Rohan", as well as the sequel to the popular Chinese animated series "Lion 2" and the star studded comedy film "Street Hero"

Although the pre-sale box office performance varied, overall it met expectations, except for this movie 'I Want to See You Again' which disappointed people

The movie stars He Chaolian and This Sha, along with three well-known male actors, Eric Tsang, Wong Chung ze, and Bai Shu, forming a lineup of four green leaves holding a red flower. This naturally gives He Chaolian a great background

Ho Chiu lam comes from a prominent family and is the sixth daughter of gambling tycoon Stanley Ho

It can be said that he is one of the top wealthy second-generation, and in recent years, he has also entered the entertainment industry with half a foot. He has dated male stars such as Wu Kequn and Fang Lishen, and married mainland male star Dou Xiao in 2023. Afterwards, I participated in many variety shows

And 'I Want to See You Again' can be considered as He Chaolian's first female lead film

The behind the scenes cast of the movie is definitely quite luxurious, with Fu Ruoqing, the chairman of China Film Group, personally serving as the producer. At the premiere, the children of wealthy families gathered, and Hong Kong film tycoon Eric Tsang was in charge. With the highly popular film "The Investiture of the Gods Part One", this Sha gathered as the male lead

According to reports, the production cost of the movie exceeded 100 million yuan, and He Chaolian's own company is also one of the producers. It can be said that this time the movie was made out of her own pocket

"I Want to See You Again" can be considered a pure love film with a main theme

It tells the story of how in 1998, a Macau girl named Shan Di unexpectedly met a mainland boy named Qiao Mingzhuang. After a brief period of interaction, the two developed feelings for each other. However, due to the problems of the times, they went their separate ways and could only express their feelings through phone calls. However, long-distance relationships made them unable to be together. 20 years later, Macau and mainland China developed closely, and Qiao Mingzhuang also grew into an excellent designer and participated in the construction of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge

Macau and mainland China are just as inseparable as the two of them

From the trailer, He Chaolian is sweet and charming. Although she is already in her 30s, playing a little girl is not out of place. This handsome and handsome Sha's love story is indeed very sweet. Coupled with the plot that fits the times, there are no problems in the production of "I Want to See You Again"

Unfortunately, the mainland film market has been too cold this year

This kind of romance film seems unable to arouse the audience's desire to watch. As of 20:00 on December 12th, less than 2 days before the movie's release on December 14th, the pre-sale box office on the first day of the movie was only just over 160000 yuan, and it is predicted that the final box office will not exceed 10 million yuan

This grade is definitely not considered passing

Can Donnie Yen save the 2024 Chinese New Year holiday as expected

'I Want to See You Again' reflects the awkwardness of this year's New Year's holiday season

Even the critically acclaimed "Good Thing" has a Douban rating of 9.1, setting the best reputation for Chinese language films in recent years, even higher than "I'm Not a Medicine God". However, after almost a month of release, the box office still hasn't exceeded 600 million yuan

This week's screening of 'Breaking Hell' has achieved good results, but the audience is mainly concentrated in Cantonese speaking areas

Huang Zihua's previous film "The Bad tongued Lawyer" also faced this issue. It grossed 187 million yuan in mainland China, with Guangdong Province accounting for 100 million yuan. If Huang Zihua could not break the regional restrictions and dilute the so-called Hong Kong flavor, the mainland box office of "Breaking Hell" would probably be around 200 million yuan

In such a desolate environment, this year's Lunar New Year holiday is probably over

At present, we can only hope that Donnie Yen's "Misjudgment" can save the market. Action movies have a high appeal in the mainland market. Although Donnie Yen is 61 years old, her fighting scenes are still vigorous. This self directed and self performed film may replicate the box office trend of "Fury Case"

It has been a long time since a Hong Kong film broke the 1 billion mark, and there hasn't been a blockbuster in this year's New Year's box office
