This year's Lunar New Year market is much more active than last year.

Last year, due to the collective pressure of the Baodao film companies, the number of blockbusters released in the entire Chinese New Year file was only a handful.

This year, although Baodao film companies have begun to pull out of Hong Kong on a large scale, the number of films in Hong Kong has been almost half less than last year.

But during the period of the Lunar New Year, the producers had no idea of pressing the film, which directly led to the number of films released in this year's Lunar New Year.

In the entire Chinese New Year file, almost all of Hong Kong's major cinema chains have arranged for two movies to be released.

However, although it is said that the release of the Chinese New Year movies is not all concentrated together.

But in terms of publicity, they are not allowed at all.

The three movies "God of Gamblers 2", "Jingwu Heroes" and "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" are the first batch of movies released during the Chinese New Year.

At the beginning of the release of the three films, they each started large-scale promotion.

"God of Gamblers 2" focuses on Chow Yun-fat, and has the word-of-mouth box office of the previous work, which not only has the highest sense of expectation from the audience, but also is the most watched movie.

followed by Jet Li's "Jingwu Hero".

In recent years, although Jet Li has never won the top spot in the Hong Kong box office list, or even the runner-up and third place, it has not affected his box office appeal in Hong Kong at all.

Coupled with the foundation of the classic movie "Jingwumen", there are a lot of people in Hong Kong who want to watch Jet Li's version of Chen Zhen.

Compared with the above two movie stars who have made a name for themselves in Hong Kong and even the entire Asian film industry in recent years, "Storm and Storm" has also attracted a high level of attention, but it is lower than the above two movies in terms of box office estimates.

Chen Qiming has indeed been very beautiful in recent years, Asia's No. 1 singer, and a superstar who has successfully entered the world.

However, most of these achievements have come from the music scene.

In the film industry, although Chen Qiming successfully won the Golden Horse actor last year.

"New Love" starring him was the runner-up in the Hong Kong box office list last year.

But it is undeniable that Chen Qiming's box office appeal is inferior to the existence of many movies such as Chow Yun-fat and Jet Li.

And this year, although "Xiaolin Kid" starring Chen Qiming was a box office hit, it was very popular in the whole of Asia.

But this movie has been questioned by film critics, who believe that the box office of this movie is not actually carried by Chen Qiming, but the credit of the two children, Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen.

In addition, this summer, Chen Qiming's "Chongqing Forest" was released, and the final box office of this movie suffered a waterloo, with a total box office of only 13 million.

Thirteen million, this is actually not Waterloo, this movie is undoubtedly profitable for investors.

But for Chen Qiming, a popular king in the music world, this box office is undoubtedly a failure.

You must know that before the release of "Chongqing Forest", the estimated box office of film critics and the media for this movie was at least 20 million.

Outcome......

However, although the box office of the movie "Chongqing Forest" was a failure, in terms of word-of-mouth, the movie was a success.

In particular, Chen Qiming's performance in it is simply explosive.

Some media even said that if this year's Golden Horse Awards and Academy Awards do not give Chen Qiming the title of actor, then there is no need to continue to hold these two awards.

At present, the Golden Horse Awards have released the shortlist for the best actor in this year's Golden Horse Awards, among which Chen Qiming is among them with "Chongqing Forest".

Straight to the point.

It is precisely because the box office of "Chongqing Forest" is not high that this has led film critics to collectively question Chen Qiming's box office appeal.

While the movie "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" has attracted a lot of attention, it has also been questioned by film critics.

At the same time, on the 16th, Golden Harvest Cinemas announced the box office data for the premiere of "God of Gamblers 2" on the 15th.

Three million eight hundred and fifty thousand!

On the first day of release, "God of Gamblers 2" went crazy.

The terrifying single-day box office directly occupied the headlines of major film magazines the next day.

As soon as the single-day box office of "God of Gamblers 2" came out, "Storm and Clouds", which was not favored by the media, was even worse.

Someone even shouted to Chen Qiming, "Chen Qiming, you are good in the music industry, doesn't mean that it is the same in the film industry!" You still need to grind! ”

Chen Qiming didn't care too much about the obviously targeted remarks of film critics.

He went to see "God of Gamblers 2" in person on the afternoon of the 16th.

Compared with the ambiguity in the dream, the real movie plot is obviously more attractive.

The whole film is different from the first one, which focuses all the scenes on Chow Yun-fat.

In this one, Wang Jing has obviously made great changes, and almost all the supporting roles in the film have their own charm.

Qiu Shuzhen, Leung Jiahui and even Xu Jinjiang, who has a good relationship with Chen Qiming, performed very well in the film.

Especially Qiu Shuzhen, the movie has only been released for two days, and her popularity has risen directly like a rocket.

The poster she made with the coquettish shot of biting the playing cards in the film was sold directly like crazy.

After watching this film, Chen Qiming himself was also under a lot of pressure, and convened an emergency meeting with the senior management of Qiming Film and Television that night.

"God of Gamblers 2" is obviously about to take off.

In his dream, Chen Qiming knew that this movie had become the first Hong Kong film to exceed 50 million at the box office in Hong Kong.

But it was just a text, an emotionless memory.

When he watched this film with his own eyes and the atmosphere of the scene, Chen Qiming was a little panicked.

The Chinese New Year is a big period, but the market is also limited.

If a movie released at the same time hits the box office, it is inevitable that the box office of another movie will be affected, and there may even be a situation where the box office does not rise at all.

Chen Qiming doesn't want to see this situation.

The investment in the drama "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" has exceeded 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

Among them, Qiming Film and Television monopolized the investment of 20 million.

Most of the 20 million came from the income dividends from investing in "New Love" last year, and some of them were re-injected by Chen Qiming.

If this fails, Qiming Film and Television will definitely collapse.

Qiming Film and Television is definitely a very important industry for Chen Qiming.

In his plan for the next few years, Qiming Film and Television has a very important position.

Especially at present, Qiming Film and Television has also had a new cooperation with Time Warner, and plans to shoot three films in the next three years.

For this reason, he also brought Jiahe and China Film.

If Qiming Film and Television collapses at this time, it will be too late for Chen Qiming to cry.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way.

Find a way to make "Storm and Storm Dominate the World" not be left behind too much in the confrontation with "God of Gamblers 2".

Once left behind, the weaker the weaker, I'm afraid that in less than two weeks, this movie will truly become a bloody movie.
