Dapeng’s "Keep You Safe" won the championship and "Wandering Earth 2" broke 4 billion

"Keep You Safe" is directed and performed by Dapeng. It tells the story that Wei Ping-an, a cemetery salesman, cracked rumors for his client Han Lu and embarked on the ironic road of whitewashing. The story is aimed at the hot topic of online rumors, which makes people laugh in the form of comedy and evokes the audience to reflect and think deeply. After the film was shown at Hainan Island Film Festival last year, the word-of-mouth was gradually released. Douban scored 7.9 points, which set the best word-of-mouth score for Dapeng’s career as a director.

After the film was released, the box office went up all the way, and the first weekend was even more successful, with a weekly box office of 134 million. This not only made the film successfully reach the top of the weekly list, but also won more space for its follow-up. As of press time, "Keep You Safe" accounts for more than 50% of the films in a single day.

The performance of Cloister Pavilion, which is also a new film, is slightly inferior, with a weekly box office of 77.0941 million. The film is adapted from the novel "The Long Corridor", starring with two actresses, and the douban score is only 5.8. Such achievements are compared with Keigo Higashino’s IP adaptation of "The Sacrifice of Suspect X", which is not dominant, and can even be said to be a "rollover" again. It seems that Keigo Higashino’s works have never found a suitable direction for the film and television in China.

The movie "The Bitch Lawyer" starring in the movie has exceeded HK$ 110 million at the box office in China and Hong Kong, and it keeps moving forward on the way to set a new record. With its excellent reputation, the film earned 36.7322 million yuan at the box office in mainland China last week, ranking third in the weekly list. Also contributing to the long-term box office battle by word of mouth are the first films of the Spring Festival "Wandering Earth 2" and "Manjianghong".

Wandering Earth 2 captured 29.8139 million box office last week, and the cumulative box office officially crossed the 4 billion mark. As the films are booked overseas, the strength of China’s sci-fi films will be further presented. "Man Jiang Hong" closed at 22.2021 million at the box office last week, reaching 4.531 billion. In addition, even though it was the "Three Best Actors", Broken Net, which was released for only one week, was still "snubbed" by the audience, with a box office of 19.2327 million in a single week, ranking three places lower than last week and coming to the sixth place in the weekly list.
