Jing Wong’s online movie "Sister-in-law" ranked first in the box office list.
1905 movie network news At present, the online movie market is booming, and many big-name directors are marching into the online movie field one by one. However, not many people can "play this card well". Jing Wong, a Hong Kong director, has been concerned by the audience since he participated in the online movie production. In recent years, many works directed, written and supervised by him show different levels, giving people the feeling that they seem to be "ups and downs".
According to statistics, the cumulative box office of online movies produced by Jing Wong ranked 30 million, 17.22 million, 9.35 million, 8.66 million and 7.11 million respectively.
There is a gap of nearly 20 million from the first place "Sister-in-law" of 30 million to the last place "Three and a Half Men" of 7.11 million, all of which are directed by Jing Wong. Why is there such a big gap?
Sister-in-law, starring Raquel, a young Tsing Yi born in the 1990s in the mainland, was launched in 2017, mainly telling the story of the heroine Zuo Lan’s beautiful and miserable life, nirvana rebirth and revenge. Up to now, the film has been launched for three years, but it still keeps on the list from time to time, and it is the longest phenomenal film in the history of online movies.
It is worth mentioning that the film is tailor-made for Raquel, the eldest sister-in-law of Yu Sin. Since the role of Shen Jiawen, the eldest sister-in-law of Yu Sin, Raquel has led the online movie "Sister-in-law", thus establishing her status as a "national sister-in-law". Raquel has also made a name for herself in the online film and television industry with these two films.
In 2019, Youku Video’s "Tang Bohu Dianchouxiang 2019" starred Benny Chan as "Tang Bohu". Although it is a classic Xingye IP, as a new version, it needs the innovation of the starring and production team. However, the film’s final box office was about 17 million, and Douban scored 3.9, which failed to arouse great ripples.
The reason may be that the expectation is too high, which leads to the decline of word of mouth. After all, "Tang Bohu" is a classic IP that has been interpreted countless times, while "Sister-in-law" is a brand-new IP, and the audience is still curious about its freshness and mystery. Ranked third is Detective Billion.
Detective One Billion, a novel about chasing dragons, started a brand-new partner, starring Wang Haoxin as a popular mainland actress Raquel. At this time, Raquel has been praised as the "top streaming actor of online movies" for his works such as Sister-in-law and The Eye of Di Renjie. Up to now, the film has earned 9.35 million yuan at the box office, and with various marketing subsidies, the producers have already recovered their costs and entered the profit stage.
The fourth place is New lion roars, and the leading actor of the film is still Benny Chan. Like Tong Pak Hu Dian Qiu Xiang 2019, New lion roars is also adapted from the classic popular IP, but it is difficult to break through after all, and the final box office is 8.66 million, which can only be said to be "experiencing a wave of nostalgia" by investment.
The last one was "Three and a Half Men", in which Jing Wong personally played and acted as a screenwriter, with a total box office of 7.11 million. It is undeniable that the box office of each film is very different, but the online movies produced by Jing Wong basically did not lose money, and most of them made a profit.
