Since the beginning of the year, there have been many Chinese film projects released to the audience. However, the quality of the films has been uneven. Among them, many projects with large investments have had poor results, even losing to many low-budget works.
Typically, the movie "The Fox Spirit: Little Red Lady: Moonlight Heaven" starring Duong Mich and Cung Tuan was criticized for being poor, the content was disjointed and the performance of the main couple also did not leave an impression on the audience.
According to statistics, from the beginning of the year until now, there have only been 11 historical films reaching over 20 million views.
In particular, the phenomenon "Qing Yu Nian 2" is at the top with 105.28 million views. The film helped Truong Nhuoc Quan increase his reputation and gain hundreds of thousands of fans.
Following is the project "Du phuong hanh" by Trieu Le Dinh with 68.55 million views. This is a project with a large investment, marking the return of the beauty Trieu. In this project, Trieu Le Dinh's performance was rated quite well, but the content and post-production of the film caused a lot of controversy.
Considered the "dark horse" of this year's Chinese historical drama season is Ngo Can Ngon's "Mo Vu Van Gian" with 60.02 million views. The film helped Ngo Can Ngon regain her reputation after being criticized for not having any projects that made a splash after "Dien Hi Cong Luoc".
Duong Tu's "Truong Tuong Tu 2" reached 40.89 million views. Initially, this project was highly anticipated because it marked Duong Tu's return. In addition, in part 1, the film was highly appreciated. However, in part 2, the project has many negative points that greatly reduced the film's appeal.
Many projects ranked lower such as: "Truong Trieu Quy Su Luc" with 40.52 million views, "Tich Hoa Chi" with 38.18 million views, "Than An" with 37.52 million views, "Hoa Gian Lenh" with 33.06 million views.
The project "The Great Tang Dynasty's Di Gong Koan" has 27.30 million views, "The Flower Age" has 24.78 million views and "The Young White Horse Drunk in Spring Wind" has 21.70 million views.
Compared to the past, the performance of historical dramas in 2024 is considered worse. Previously, films that were criticized for poor performance often had less than 25 million views. However, at present, projects with 20 million views or more are among the hottest films.
Remember in 2023, the hottest movies had an average view count of about 30 million views or more.
