With an investment of only 15 million yuan and a filming time of 40 days, after a few days of release, Zhao Liying's film "Hoa Ngoai Duong" caused a big surprise.
According to Chinese media, in 2 days, the film earned 63 million yuan, surpassed the investment level and started to make a profit.
On April 7, the total revenue exceeded 81 million yuan, film experts predicted that Zhao Liying's film could reach 200 million yuan.
This is an impressive result, showing the strong appeal of the film to the audience.
Besides, "sunflowers" also received high appreciation from the audience. In Maoyan, one of China's largest film and evaluation websites, "sunflowers" currently score 9.5/10, reflecting the interests of the viewer for the film. The main feedback is praise for both the acting of the stars and the profound message that the film conveyed.
At one point, "Hoa Hoang Duong" reached the top 1 box office revenue in China.
However, the Douban score of "Hoa Ngoai Duong" starring Zhao Liying is not very impressive. The film only achieved 6.6 points - this is a rather low score compared to Zhao Liying's real score.
Many viewers believe that "Hoa Hoang Duong" is a picky film, not suitable for the general public's taste, so it is understandable that the Douban score is not high.
Moreover, in this comeback, "Hoa Hoang Duong" also encountered some unfortunate controversies about the content and performance of Trieu Le Dinh, which somewhat affected the film's Douban score.
