Special feature of 1905 film network The three-month summer file officially ended with a total box office of 11.643 billion yuan, and the performance of the actors was remarkable!《Today’s film review"column and M data jointly release the list of 2024 summer file role attention index, let’s open this list together — —
the first place Catch the doll Shen Teng
Second place "Catch the Doll"Ma Li
third place Safe evacuation from the 21st centuryRuoyun Zhang
fourth Silent killingNing Chang
Fifth placeDog array Eddie Peng Yuyan
There are fewer female roles on the list.
From this list, we can also see some phenomena different from the past: two actresses are on the list, namely Mary, who ranks second, and Zhang Junning, who ranks fourth.
Although this figure is a small progress compared with the past market, we still hope that there will be more outstanding female roles. Moreover, the roles played by Mary and Zhang Junning are on the list, which is related to the natural popularity of the actors themselves in social media to some extent, not entirely from the roles themselves.
Therefore, in the eyes of film critic Wu Yanyu, the absence of actresses in the list is a more regrettable part.
Actors get attention ≠ movie box office
In addition, we will find that among the top ten actors, except Shen Teng, who ranks first, the box office of other actors seems to be unsatisfactory. This contrast shows that the phenomenon that traffic can not directly bring box office is particularly obvious in this summer’s file.
In Wu Yanyu’s view, there are two direct examples, one is Yu Shi in Welcome to My Side, and the other is Justin in If I am the one who loves you the most in the world. Their own attention and the popularity of their films before the screening were very high, but even though the performances of the two actors were remarkable, especially Justin’s performance caused a very high discussion in the circle, the popularity of the roles and actors did not translate into the box office.
On the contrary, several senior actors also contributed wonderful performances. Ge You’s appearance on the list, in particular, has once again proved to the film market that the audience has diverse viewing preferences and knows what a good actor is.
Ge You continued to maintain a high standard in The Hedgehog, and also created some highlights. For example, he has been in a mental hospital for a long time, and Karry returned to his hometown and shouted outside. At this time, Ge You looked at the unattainable window in a mental hospital and looked up at the desperate eyes of the sun. I believe that the audience who saw the film will be deeply impressed.
Therefore, a good performance will arouse the audience to take the initiative to evaluate and express, which will naturally raise the heat of this role. Therefore, it can also prove that the audience’s viewing orientation is not just about the flow. This is a very good positive cycle of the film industry, and it is also a manifestation that some bubbles have been punctured in the past few years.
The first place on the list will also "miss"
Shen Teng, who played another classic role in Catch a Doll in the summer file, deserved the first place. However, in the eyes of professional film critics, the popularity of "Catch a Doll" can’t cover up the problems exposed by another film "Renee". Compared with Catch a Doll, the box office and word-of-mouth of Pianli show a great contrast.
Until today, we still see that "Catch the Doll" still has a very strong box office growth, and this momentum must come from the quality of the film itself. On the one hand, Catching Dolls is closely related to social emotions, on the other hand, the social topics it focuses on are closely related to people. In the end, those movie fans who entered the cinema with the combination of Shen Ma and Shen Ma have produced great empathy with the screening of the film and participated in the profound theme narration of the film about society.
However, Shen Teng in "Scaling" tried a role with great contrast, but the effect was not satisfactory. On the one hand, the film itself is of poor quality; on the other hand, Shen Teng didn’t give a performance that made people "sit up and take notice" of him. Just being cool and handsome can’t get Shen Teng out of the comedy "besieged city".
It’s about me, it’s about me.
Combined with the list of the 2024 summer file character attention index produced today, as well as related interpretations and observations, in the role creation of follow-up films, it is necessary for film producers to consider more whether the audience can see the details related to themselves in this role.
For example, in Ma Chenggang in Catch a Doll, a father wants to control his life when educating his children. I believe most fathers can see their own shadow from it.
In Silent Killing, Zhang Junning saw her daughter being bullied, and the moment when a mother was angry and tore off the stickers and tapes for her daughter was also a touching place for many mothers and women.
Roles are not emotional consumables, but intriguing.
In the short videos of several films released this summer, we will find that the audience can feel great emotions and excitement in just a few seconds, and then stimulate the audience’s curiosity to go into the cinema for consumption. The film is not a two-hour secret room to satisfy the audience’s curiosity, but a story about the role, the times and the theme. Then the film is not to create characters for marketing emotions, but to start from the story itself and consider adding a small part that is linked to the current life and current social emotions, so as to create more interesting and intriguing role chapters.
If you do a good job of reconciliation, then the characters in the film will be more vivid and shining.
