The movie "The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting Demons" starring Ashton Chen was released for four days, and the box office was only 47,000. The total number of people attending the movie was less than 1,500. Ashton Chen’s martial arts, Alen and Raquel’s face value could not save the movie’s bleak box office, which really made people feel sad.
"The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting Demons" is a martial arts movie starring Ashton Chen, starring Alen and Raquel, and featuring Hong Kong veteran actors Luo Dahua and Li Zixiong. From the cast, the feelings of Hong Kong martial arts movies and the martial arts of "Little Jet Li" Ashton Chen are still attractive to martial arts fans. However, in the end, this movie can’t escape the fate of the box office. What link has gone wrong?
Objectively speaking, the box office of The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting Demons is not good, and it has something to do with the actors.
There are many classic films about Yan Chixia, such as Ghost Story, Fairy in Painting and so on, and the actor Wu Ma was once known to the audience for playing the classic role of Yan Chixia. Even in the minds of many viewers, the image of Yan Chixia is just like the afternoon horse. This time, Ashton Chen plays the classic role of Yan Chixia, which is indeed a big challenge for Ashton Chen.
Child star made his debut, and his martial arts foundation was not weak. He once produced martial arts fine film and television dramas such as Cyclone Boy, loong and Young Bao Qingtian. However, when he grew up, Ashton Chen’s face value was not very suitable for ancient costumes, regardless of his acting skills. However, he didn’t become popular by his face value when he was a star. Ashton Chen was once known as "Little Jet Li". Because of his martial arts, many people still had his way of development.
However, compared with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, Ashton Chen’s luck is not a little worse. It can be said that it is the times that have created Jackie Chan and Jet Li’s generation of kung fu stars. Now, the audience no longer has too high expectations for martial arts film and television dramas. Coupled with the special effects, various body double or auxiliary tools, even if the actors don’t have real kung fu, the film and television dramas can still present the bloody martial arts scenes.
In "Biography of Yan Chixia Hunting Demons", Ashton Chen still has a lot of real kung fu. The battle with fox demon, snake demon, toad spirit and weasel spirit is also very wonderful. However, with a slightly old face and a slightly immature voice, even if the play is wonderful, the audience is still a little theatrical.
Ashton Chen, who is over 30 years old, has not been able to gain a foothold in the film and television circle with his own advantages. Even this time, the audience’s expectations in "The Legend of Yan Chixia’s Demon Hunting" have failed, and it seems that for Ashton Chen, this road will only get more and more difficult.
Ashton Chen’s performance didn’t surprise the audience. Besides Ashton Chen, young actors Alen and Raquel also appeared in many movies. Alen’s face value is relatively high. He has also acted in idol dramas such as "The Queen of Solitude" and "Let You Live Like a Dream". Alen plays Xia Lingfeng, a fast catcher, in "The Legend of Hunting Demons by Yan Chixia", which is a well-endowed man with good martial arts.
Raquel is famous for her sex appeal in the entertainment circle. She has also appeared in films such as The Richest Man in Xihong City and Chasing the Dragon. However, neither Ashton Chen nor Alen and Raquel have given the audience a bright feeling. After all, compared with the mediocre performance of the actors, the old-fashioned and bloody story in The Legend of the Hunting Demon by Yan Chixia has also dissuaded a large number of audiences.
The Legend of Yan Chixia’s Demon Hunting tells the story of Yan Chixia and Xia Lingfeng, working hand in hand to kill demons and help justice. Of course, the original film might be better if it could be made into a truly passionate martial arts film. However, the killing of demons and monsters in the film is just a gimmick. The core plot of the film is still Yan Chixia’s emotional drama, and the so-called emotional conflict still plays with the hero and heroine because of misunderstanding.
The actors didn’t surprise the audience, and the plot of the film didn’t shine. In addition, the martial arts movies are not popular now, and the most direct result is that the box office of "The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting Demons" is very bleak.
Of course, there is another reason why The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting the Demon is so bleak at the box office, that is, the movie is shown in the cinema, and the online platform is also broadcast at the same time. For The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting the Demon, many people have positioned it as a big online movie, which may also be the reason, and the cinema has made very few films for this movie, which is also one of the reasons for the bleak box office of this movie.
However, even as a big network, the performance of "The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting Demons" is not satisfactory. The broadcast volume of Santianwang has just exceeded 10 million. The popularity of this film on the Internet is also very low, and it has not caused any splash. Compared with those works that are black and red, the performance of Ashton Chen’s "The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting Demons" after its release is even more deplorable. As a high hope, Text/Chen Wei is cool
