20 stars starred, the cost was 30 million, the box office was only 288,000, and the worst Hong Kong film in 2023 was born

For Hong Kong films, the 2023 Chinese New Year stalls are a bit cold.

Although Hong Kong films were beaten in the first half of the year, many Hong Kong filmmakers pinned their hopes on the Lunar New Year file to fight a turnaround, because we saw that Lin Chaoxian, Andy Lau, Tony Leung and other big names have new films released in the Lunar New Year file.

Unfortunately, the reality is extremely cruel.

20 stars starred, the cost was 30 million, the box office was only 288,000, and the worst Hong Kong film in 2023 was born!

At present, the Hong Kong films that have been released in the mainland for the Chinese New Year include "Breaking Point" and "Biao Zhan".

"Breaking Point" is undoubtedly a super blockbuster, costing 200 million yuan to produce, Lin Chaoxian, the first director in the history of Chinese single-film box office films, and nearly 40 stars such as Zhang Jiahui and William Chan starred.

Such a police and bandit action blockbuster thought that there was no opponent in the new film of the same period.

I didn't expect to be worthy of being someone else's opponent, as of December 13th, the cumulative box office of "Breaking Point" was less than 70 million in 6 days after its release, according to the current trend, whether the final box office of the movie can break 100 million is a problem, and it has become a luxury to return to the cost.

Not to mention "Biao Zhan", it will directly become the worst Hong Kong film in 2023.

It is estimated that many viewers do not know that this new film will be released, which will be released in the Hong Kong market on August 31, China, and will be silent, and the box office is almost negligible, but the star lineup of the movie can be called luxurious.

Hui Yinghong, Lin Xue, Liao Qizhi, Jiang Haowen, Lin Zicong and other 20 stars starred in cameos.

Especially Hui Yinghong has won the crown of actresses across the Taiwan Strait and three places, Lin Xue, Liao Qizhi, and Jiang Haowen are also golden supporting roles at the actor level, needless to say, such a lineup, the behind-the-scenes team of the movie is also quite luxurious, why?

The reason is very simple, the producer of the movie is Emperor boss Yang Shoucheng!

"Biao Zhan" can be called the anti-Japanese version of "Initial D", saying that there is a Japanese car god named Kenji Matsumoto, who doesn't know what's wrong, harms Chinese drivers in the professional arena, and also makes disrespectful remarks to the leaders of the Chinese organizers. Then the war spread to Hong Kong, China.

In Hong Kong, China, the former Hong Kong car god came out in this situation, on the one hand, to raise money to save his son, and on the other hand, to combat the arrogance of the Japanese. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Hong Kong police appeared and prevented them from holding underground racing cars, and the Hong Kong car gods were ready to show their strength again and defeat their opponents in the face of internal and external troubles!

"Biao Zhan" was completed in 2018 and was hidden in the snow for five years after filming.

Even Liao Qizhi passed away without waiting for the movie to be released, "Biao Zhan" was huge at the time, under the banner of the new version of "Initial D", with a cost of more than 30 million, but unfortunately from the perspective of the quality of the finished film, it is still difficult to make a racing film at this level of cost.

Especially the scene at the beginning of the movie is like the result of a person who has been teaching himself special effects for three months, although there are real luxury cars appearing in the scene to save the action scenes to a certain extent, but the actors are holding the steering wheel and shaking around the whole time, and they are pretending to drive at first glance, of course, we can't ask the actors to make a movie and become real racing drivers.

But it's better to act like a little bit.

The plot of the movie is also quite old-fashioned, not to mention the comeback in order to treat his son, although it is cliché, but at least there is a character motivation, but every time the car is fixed, the car accident and someone is seriously injured, what is the matter? Does the screenwriter need to be so lazy? The twists and turns of the story are exactly the same three times in a row, does the audience still have a sense of freshness?

As the only pure Hong Kong film of actress Hui Yinghong this year, Liao Qizhi's posthumous work.

"Flying Wars" is really disappointing.

Such a bad movie has no box office in Hong Kong, so I want to come to the mainland market to make money, I am afraid that the audience will not agree.

As of December 13, the cumulative box office of the movie in 6 days of release was only 288,000.

Among the Hong Kong films released in the mainland this year, only Sammi Cheng's "Falling Flowers" has a box office of 287,000 that can be "comparable", but the production cost of "Falling Flowers" is only 8 million, and the box office results plus the cost, then "Soaring War" is the worst Hong Kong film in 2023!

Can Andy Lau save Hong Kong films?

There is only half a month left before the 2023 pick-up, is there any hope for Hong Kong films to counterattack?

According to the release plan of the new films in the Chinese New Year file, we can see that there will be two more Hong Kong films "Sneaking" and "Goldfinger" released in 2023.

Interestingly, these two Hong Kong films are starring Andy Lau, and this year's "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Moscow Action" starring Andy Lau have a good box office, and they are one of the few actors in Hong Kong films who still maintain an undefeated golden body at the box office.

But this year's Hong Kong films are really unlucky, "Sneaking" and "Goldfinger" were originally double insurance, but they encountered a big dark horse like "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star".

At present, the pre-sale box office of "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" has exceeded 200 million, while the pre-sale box office of "Sneaking" and "Goldfinger" released at the same time are all around one million. The gap is so huge that it is desperate.

Andy Lau may not be able to save Hong Kong films.
