After the poor performance of a series of recent big names such as “Tam Kim Anh Hau” Chau Dong Vu and Trieu Van Mo VuDuong Mich with There's Nothing A Hot Pot Can't Solvethe next box office disaster called Trident, despite gathering a good director and famous stars, it still ended up being a huge failure.
Movie Trident directed by Cao Quan Thu. He is a person with many years of experience with many achievements such as best director Kim Ke 26, Bach Hoa 29. Along with stars like actor Hoang Tri Trung with the achievements of winning the awards Bach Ngoc Lan, Phi Thien, Khuong The best martial artist of the Hoa Dinh Award, the best actor of the Hundred Flowers Award, Quach Dao, participated in the acting, in addition to the appearance of Han Canh and the guest cast including Bao Boi Nhi and Tran Do Linh.
Trident promises to be a blockbuster after the success of the television version 4 years ago
Trident released last weekend is currently accounting for 14.3% of the movie schedule and only 8% of box office receipts with the lowest percentage among new films in the same period. With an investment capital of up to 100 million yuan (350 billion), the film's current box office revenue is quite modest, only 25 million yuan (87.5 billion). It is expected that the final revenue will only reach about 40 million yuan, and the film will have a loss of 85 million yuan (about 300 billion). Besides the dismal box office performance, the film received many criticisms from viewers and scored relatively low on Douban. Compared to the success of the TV version released 4 years ago starring Tran Kien Ban, which was loved by the audience and had a Douban score of 7.5, the current movie version has a rather modest score of 5.2.
The film ranked last in the list of films shown at the same time
The reason given for this failure is, first of all, that the creativity is too different from the TV version while the previous TV version received a good reputation and a boom in ratings. The director's handling was not good, leading to the relationship between the characters in the film being a mess along with the confusing storytelling. After the initial 20 minutes, the film's flow is normal, then every detail in the film seems to have been extracted from a long-running TV series and then pieced together in a disjointed and overly complicated way.
With such content, it is not difficult to understand why the film received many mixed opinions and low scores
In a recent post on social networks, director Cao Quan Thu said the film's investment amounted to 350 billion, of which half came from his own pocket. On this occasion, he also expressed his gratitude to his friends who came to help freely based on friendship because they are movie lovers. However, at the end of the post, this director had insulting words about the audience. fake, expressed dissatisfaction when his movie was criticized badly. This has made netizens angry at the veteran director's bitter attitude.
Some viewers also said that, compared to the recent movie, There's Nothing A Hot Pot Can't Solve It was also a case of box office failure, but director Dinh Thanh was luckier than Cao Quan Thu, because Duong Mich also had to bear all the bad reputation when the film failed.
Netizen comments:
– Poor box office sales have nothing to do with audiences, it's because your movies are bad
– If a new director doesn't have the patience to test the market for a few days, how can he have the patience to refine the script for a few years (the movie version was produced 4 years after the TV version)
– I always liked director Cao, until I saw The Point of the Knife (also directed by him) last year which was pretty bad in general, I really didn't have the courage to watch the next movies.
– If it wasn't for liking the TV movie version and seeing the promotional post, I really wouldn't have bought the ticket, I really regret the ticket price.
– In the end, he was not as lucky as director Dinh (Dinh Thanh: director of the movie There's Nothing A Hot Pot Can't Solve). There was no Duong Mich to bear the responsibility for this failure.
