As the first weekend of the 2024 summer file, domestic films were beaten badly.
There are 14 new films released in the mainland film market this weekend, and it is obvious that the summer file has been completed with the college entrance examination, and many new films are ready to come with a big wave, but I didn't expect it to be a big one, and all domestic films were wiped out, but it was the Japanese anime "Volleyball Boy!!" is expected to be a dark horse.
"Volleyball Junior!! "The fault lead, the pre-sale box office of "Top Secret Mission" was only 6,900 yuan, and he was so frightened that he withdrew.
Although there are many new films, the new film that really has attracted attention is "Volleyball Boys!! "Dog Formation", "Dad is an Alien", "Top Secret Mission".
Domestic films have a huge advantage in terms of both number and lineup, but unfortunately as of 22 o'clock on June 14th, "Volleyball Boy!! The pre-sale box office of "Junkyard Showdown" is approaching 30 million, far ahead of the new films in the same period. The first-day film schedule accounted for more than 31%, and it is obvious that in the face of super high popularity, Chinese theaters have given this Japanese anime more than expected treatment.
On the contrary, domestic films are quite disappointing.
The pre-sale box office of "Dog Formation" with an all-star lineup of tens of billions of directors Guan Hu, Peng Yuyan, Tong Yali and other all-star lineups is only 2.44 million, and the proportion of pre-rehearsal films on the first day is only 16.2%, so it can be said that there is no hope for the final box office of the movie to break 100 million.
Jia Bing, who won the May 1st file and the champion of the Dragon Boat Festival, brought "Dad is an Alien" again.
This time the god of luck did not come to Jia Bing, the pre-sale box office of the movie was only 440,000, and the proportion of the first day of the film schedule was only 5.2%, the movie was actually filmed in 2017, and the film party hid the movie for 7 years, perhaps because he saw Jia Bing's extraordinary performance this year, thinking that Jia Bing had a certain box office appeal, so he brought this movie up.
But even worse is "Top Secret Mission", which is ready to be released on June 15.
The pre-sale box office of the movie is only 6900 yuan, you must know that the movie gathers a large number of stars such as Lu Jingshan, Yu Wenle, Yu Wenwen, etc., known as the female soldier version of "Wolf Warrior 2", with a production cost of more than 150 million.
The filmmaker was also frightened and withdrew directly.
From the champion of film history to the withdrawal of new films, how did the heroine of "Wolf Warrior 2" fall to this point?
"Top Secret Mission" is an opportunistic film in its own right.
Prepared in 2018, started in 2020, and even went to Malaysia for filming, the plot of the movie is quite a wolf warrior.
tells the story of the 12 members of the Chinese women's special forces team who rescued them in the 12 hours abroad, judging from the trailer, the movie focuses on war scenes, and even has a missile scene, but the texture is not good, and there is a big smell of the Internet, which is why the movie has not dared to be released.
The movie invited Lu Jingshan to star, definitely to rub off on the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2".
It's a pity that in 2017, "Wolf Warrior 2" put Wu Jing on the throne of the first person in Chinese films, but Lu Jingshan, as the heroine, did not enjoy the dividends.
"Wolf Warrior 2" broke 5.6 billion at the box office and won the box office championship in Chinese film history. Lu Jingshan also started the three consecutive pounces after "Wolf Warrior 2".
starred next in "Triple Threat: Transnational Rescue" and "Can You Don't Leave Me", the box office is lower than the other.
In 2020, he even degenerated enough to shoot the online drama "He Actually Doesn't Love You That Much", giving Song Qian and Zheng Kai supporting roles. Until the box office fiasco of "Top Secret Mission" led to the withdrawal.
From the champion of film history to the withdrawal of new films, only 7 years have passed, and Lu Jingshan has returned to her previous obscure origin.
With the withdrawal of "Top Secret Mission", according to the current information, Lu Jingshan has no new films waiting to be released, and it seems that she has fallen into a dilemma of having no scenes to film, unless Wu Jing starts the plan of "Wolf Warrior 3", but judging from the easter eggs of "Wolf Warrior 2", the third part is likely to let Yu Nan come back as the heroine again, and it would be good for Lu Jingshan to make a cameo.
I'm afraid it won't help much for career development.
Lu Jingshan's problem may be that Wu Jing's light is too dazzling, 2017's "Wolf Warrior 2" can indeed be regarded as earth-shattering, but I have to say that Wu Jing stole all the limelight, and the main actors such as Wu Gang, Zhang Han, and Ding Haifeng in the film did not gain a firm foothold in the film industry. As the heroine, Lu Jingshan is purely a vase character.
The acting skills are okay, and Wu Jing pulled it to save the scene.
Coupled with the mixed-race appearance, Lu Jingshan's role in domestic films is limited. All this has contributed to Lu Jingshan's current state.
