In this most crowded Qingming file in history, it ushered in the lowest opening box office in the past decade.

Not surprising at all.

But Hollywood movies have finally hardened up, and "My World Movie" has become the leader in this schedule, but it is difficult to change the general trend.

And "Nezha 3" was finally pulled off from the single-day box office champion, but among the new films, "Nezha 0" can still play, and it is still among the top 0 of the single-day box office list.

對於馮小剛的新片《向陽·花》來說，中規中矩，拿著最高的排片，兩日只拿下了5000多萬的票房，儘管也能排在檔期前三，但顯然後勁不足，預測總票房也是不斷下滑，最終的票房也是難超2億大關。

Although it is a lot more than "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3", and it will not be a blood loss, Feng Xiaogang has long been unable to return to his peak era.

This film is also a popular actor Zhao Liying, who partnered with Feng Xiaogang again after 19 years. Feng Xiaogang, as a teacher, helped Zhao Liying make a successful debut in the early years, after 19 years, Zhao Liying is no longer the unknown, but has become the leader of 85 flowers, but Feng Xiaogang's glory is long gone.

Even with Zhao Liying's help, "Xiangyang Flower" still can't save Feng Xiaogang!

Feng Xiaogang returned to his familiar realistic genre films, and still did not lose Feng's humorous elements, but "Xiangyang Flower" is still too routine and ordinary, and is not as bold as Zhang Yimou, but chooses a relatively conservative route.

So it can be seen that the procedural templating of this film is extremely serious.

From the beginning to the end, Feng Xiaogang is applying the mature film formula of the past, but after all, it is a realistic film, so it cannot be overly commercialized, but it has led to a mixture of films, with all elements, but they are all dragonflies.

Feng Xiaogang has changed, he has become gentle, and he has become less sharp. But at the same time, it is also facing the dilemma of Jiang Lang's talents.

Once in an interview, Feng Xiaogang also directly admitted that his Jiang Lang was talented.

"I wrote it overnight before, and now I can't write it for half a day."

In this case, the safest thing to do is to apply the formula.

That's how "Sunward Flower" came about.

Although this is a story about the reintegration of ex-convicts from a woman's perspective, even if it is changed to a man, the whole film still holds. It's just that women are more topical and attractive, because feminist expressions are prevalent at the moment, and the film and television industry is eating such dividends.

Feng Xiaogang couldn't hold back for a long time and wanted a piece of the pie.

If it were in the past, Feng Xiaogang would shoot more in-depth and sharper films with such themes, but Feng Xiaogang will not be able to do it now.

For the whole film of "Xiangyang Flower", although there are still a lot of ironies, many revelations and conflicts, it is obviously only a superficial presentation, a routine and stereotypical narration, and the characteristics of Feng Xiaogang's self are missing.

Women's mutual assistance and resistance are indeed presented in the film, but they are only expressed for the sake of expression, lacking the strength of realistic resonance. The male characters are too facial, and they have been taught a hard lesson by the female characters, which can be said to be pandering to flattery, but at the same time, it is also a reduction in intelligence. Women's resistance is expressed, but it is hardly representative of the majority, it is just the pride of the minority. And the forced consummation at the end of the film, although it gives people warmth, hope and strength, the real predicament has not changed.

Such a film, under the current market environment, it is naturally difficult to win the support of more audiences, and the unsatisfactory box office is doomed early on.

Fung's comedy has fallen behind, and Fung realism has failed to break through.

Regarding comedy, Feng Xiaogang once publicly said:This market will always need comedy, and the audience will always need comedy, but it is not a comedy that will always need you Feng Xiaogang.

He recognized reality.

But apparently not ready.

The first was the filming of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 3", which turned out to be a big problem. The feelings are no longer there, and the old ones are hard to gnaw.

At the same time, he also continued to shoot online dramas, but a "Echo" failed to start. Feng Xiaogang has made a breakthrough, but he still pursues fashion and hot spots, and follows the formula.

Now it has brought "Sunward Flower" again, and it is still the same, and the result is naturally not ideal.

Next is the spy war film "Catch the Spy", which is his real challenge. Hopefully, he can really break through and innovate, instead of applying formulas.

How invincible Feng Xiaogang was in the past, but that was in the past after all. Just like Hollywood, it is facing its own dilemma. Feng Xiaogang's predicament is obviously not something that can be solved in a short time, but Zhang Yimou undoubtedly pointed out the direction, that is, to boldly challenge and break through. Success or failure, this is a promising path. And if we continue to immerse ourselves in the past and remain complacent, the road will only get narrower and narrower.
