On February 24, according to data from the Maoyan Pro platform, the total box office revenue of films starring Shen Tsang exceeded 40 billion RMB (about 152 trillion VND), making him the first actor in Chinese cinema history to achieve this achievement.
The movie "Phi trì nhân sinh 3" starring Thẩm Đằng is currently being screened and causing a box office fever. After 8 days in theaters, revenue has exceeded 3 billion CNY.
On February 19, when the film crew of "Phy trì nhân sinh 3" came to Chengdu to promote, the audience asked Thẩm Đằng if he had ever faced "capitalist resources" in his life and how he resolved it.
Before this rather sharp question, Thẩm Đằng quickly replied: "Actually, I don't act in too many movies, it sounds like'pretending to be humble', doesn't it.
Why don't I act in many movies but box office revenue is quite high? It's because every time we participate in a movie, we seriously choose the script and the production team.
However, in reality, even if you have chosen a good script and a good crew, it is not certain that there will be a good result. But if you are not serious right from the selection stage, the chance of success is even lower.
He also laughed and joked that he seemed to have never been "manipulated by capitalists".
Shen Teng is recognized by experts as a "box office guarantee". Among the 25 films he starred in, 5 films grossed over 3 billion RMB.
Hello, Ly Hoan Anh" released in 2021 reached 5.413 billion CNY; "Man Giang Hong" in 2023 reached 4.544 billion CNY; "Phy Tri Nhan Sinh 2" in 2024 reached 3.361 billion CNY; "Chao oa oa" in 2024 reached 3.327 billion CNY; "Doc Hanh Nguyet Cau" released in theaters in 2022 reached 3.103 billion CNY in revenue.
In addition, 9 films starring Shen Tsang grossed over 2 billion RMB, contributing to creating a solid foundation for his "box office revenue map".
According to Maoyan Pro, Shen Teng has long surpassed Wu Jing - the actor ranked 2nd on the box office chart, with 48 main roles and total revenue of 35.543 billion RMB.
Ranked 3rd is actor Liu Haoran with 29 films starring, reaching 25.752 billion RMB.
Shen Tang's long-time co-star Ma Li ranked 5th with a total revenue of 23.597 billion RMB. She is also the only actress in the top 5, worthy of the title "box office big sister".
From the Spring Festival Gala stage to the male lead position on the big screen, Thẩm Đằng took 10 years to complete the transformation from a comedian to a "national emperor" and "box office king".
The record of 40 billion RMB in box office revenue that he created has become a typical milestone for the process of the Chinese film market transitioning from a "traffic-driven era" to a "quality-driven era".
Not long ago, during a promotional event in Sanya, Korean directors personally confirmed the news that "Phy trì nhân sinh 4" will be produced.
This not only shows that the "Phi Tri universe" will continue to develop a new story, but also means that Thẩm Đằng continues to be associated with this series, soon promising a "potential seed" in terms of revenue for the movies he stars in in the future.
