The box office forecast of seven movies in the Spring Festival is released, and "China Ping Pong" is at the bottom. Which one will be the dark horse?

According to the box office contest of Lighthouse Professional Edition, a number of industry media have released the forecast results for the box office of the 2023 Spring Festival movies: most of them are optimistic about Wandering Earth 2, predicting the box office range of 2.8 billion-3.8 billion; Ranked second is "Man Jiang Hong", which predicts the box office range of 1.5 billion to 2 billion; "Unknown" predicts a box office range of 350-600 million; "Exchange of Life" predicts a box office range of 1.2-1.4 billion; "Deep Sea" predicts a box office range of 1.8-2.4 billion; "My Bear’s Companion" predicts a box office range of 600-800 million; "China Ping-Pong Fight Back" predicts a box office range of 250 million-300 million.

Obviously, among them, the film that all platforms and media are least optimistic about is China Ping Pong, which is co-directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei. The box office forecast made for this film is not even as good as the cartoon "Bears Come and Go". So what did this movie do, or didn’t do anything, or did something wrong, so that so many people don’t like it?

This year’s Spring Festival movies are quite rich in types, including science fiction movies, comedies, suspense movies and cartoons. Among the seven movies, "China Ping Pong" is the only theme movie, a sports movie adapted from a true story. The story takes place in 1988, when table tennis became a real Olympic event for the first time. China was repeatedly defeated by the Swedish team with Waldner and persson, while the China table tennis women’s team made great achievements. Faced with this dilemma, Cai Zhenhua, the head coach of men’s table tennis, was ordered to form a new team, leading Ma Wenge, Wang Tao, Ding Song, Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui, who later became known as the "Five Tiger Generals". After a period of hard training, he finally fought back at the Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships in 1995 and returned to the peak.

Deng Chao is not only the director of this film, but also plays the leading role of Cai Zhenhua. From the trailer released at present, a slogan of blood and inspiration came in like chicken blood. It stands to reason that a film based on a true story should not be much worse, but why do people hold such a negative attitude towards this film? This can’t be blamed on netizens. Everyone is really scared by Deng Chao!

Don’t care about anything, just look at the poster first. I saw a photo of Deng Chao and Sun Li hanging on the poster, which made everyone break into a cold sweat. I still remember the last time a couple appeared on a movie poster, but no one in the audience who saw the movie didn’t mention the ugly movie "Villain Angel". How ugly is it? When people spit, they don’t want to expand the content of the film itself, just want to swear. Someone concluded that the film should be renamed "Ew! Go away! God, shit. Having said that, you can imagine how much psychological shadow this movie has caused everyone. The faces of Deng Chao and Sun Li are hung on the movie poster, and it’s hard not to recall the painful past when we look at the same thing this time.

Deng Chao and Sun Li’s husband and wife fit, just make everyone afraid of appearance, the kernel is king Fried. What is the kernel? It is a "strong alliance" between Deng Chao and his good partner Yu Baimei. Without Yu Baimei as a screenwriter, the movie wouldn’t be so bad. That annoying thing only makes people have a headache. What’s even more troubling is that Yu Baimei doesn’t think he is not funny, and Deng Chao doesn’t think Yu Baimei is not funny. They always like to be tied to each other. Together, the two are clearly a pair of locked-up bad film partners, and the audience is not stupid. Why should they walk into the cinema again after being cheated for the first time?

In addition, everyone already knows that this movie tells a story that can be finished at a glance.

According to the true story, instead of paying for going to the cinema, the audience might as well change the TV channel directly to five sets of CCTV, which are free of charge, to watch the real athletes play a game with real swords and guns to get excited. Besides, at the risk of going to see some actors who don’t know how to perform well, and the growth trajectory and private bumps and contradictions fabricated by the coaches, friends who love sports are more willing to watch a classic game replay.

Finally, what makes people feel even worse is that Deng Chao once again launched the whole entertainment circle’s friends to promote him.

Almost incited more than half of the entertainment circle, and hundreds of stars forwarded "China Table Tennis" to announce Weibo’s filing date. This movement is really not small. However, as we all know, the All-Star cast is often (most of the time) equal to a bad film. The more it is widely publicized, the more people feel that the film is lacking in confidence, and they can only rely on these side roads to gain eyeballs.

As for whether this movie will be at the bottom, and whether there will be a movie that will become a dark horse, everything will be announced during the Spring Festival.

In fact, it depends on James’ attitude who will start the game in the new season.

It doesn’t depend on them who will play the first round in the new season, but on James’ attitude.

Recently, Babamura and Vanderbilt have been polishing their skills with Handy, the chief assistant coach of the Lakers. This is a smart choice. They are both competitive and need to be improved.

Some people think that the new season may replace Vanderbilt as a starter, on the grounds that the contract is bigger, and at the same time, he played better against the Nuggets in the playoffs last season, and his playing time was the main level.

Vanderbilt has many supporters, and he is still practicing 3 points and is expected to continue to start.

Of course, if Bacomura developed Vanderbilt’s defensive ability, or Vanderbilt developed Bacomura’s offensive ability, then whoever developed first would start, but it would still keep up with last season.

In fact, it doesn’t depend on them, it depends entirely on James’ attitude on the defensive end. Ham commented after the season. He understood James’ staying in the regular season and was very satisfied with James’ performance in the playoffs, but he also pointed out that he criticized James’ attitude in the middle of the season.

James didn’t defend at all for a long time in the regular season, and many games in a row were zero fouls. Now the Lakers are guarding the inside line and James doesn’t do the work of assisting in the defense sweep, so he must have teammates to help him finish the work.

So if James is willing to show the same defensive attitude in the regular season as in the playoffs, then the first one is Ba Cunjian. But if James paddles in the regular season like last season, Vanderbilt will be the only starter.

The Sun Knicks deal is about to be reached, Eton Bill leaves the team, and brunson Blue Bean assists KD Booker.

Although the Phoenix Suns didn’t win the championship last season, this team has accumulated enough experience. Although it has reached the finals before, Booker’s ability can still be stabilized without Paul. Without him, the Suns will be swept out by the Nuggets.

The Suns have been mulling a deal to send Ayton away all summer. Even if Paul is traded for Bill, the team will consider packing them for new stars. Many players in the Knicks have become potential targets. Jones and others will finalize the deal as soon as possible at the end of this month!

According to the new york reporter, the Suns are planning a deal about Elton. The team’s goal is to get brunson and Mitchell Robinson from the Knicks. The Suns’ management has made up its mind to chase them, and Elton will be the main body of the deal.

The team intends to exchange Bill+Elton+draft picks for brunson, Mitchell Robinson and Randall of the Knicks, and the management of the team is ready to disagree. The Suns will draw out the only draft picks in their hands and give them to the Knicks. As long as the other party accepts the offer, the Suns can continue to improve their chips.

The commercial value of Bill and Aiton is much higher than these people. Although the record of going to the Knicks is not necessarily good, the income will make the Knicks management very satisfied. The nba transaction is not just to strengthen the lineup, but the main purpose is to consider the income of ticket advertisements. After all, this is a business negotiation.

Bill+Barrett+Elton’s trident combination can actually guarantee this team to be in the playoffs. The most important thing is that the team can save a lot of salary space. brunson has already started to prepare to renew his contract and ask for a big contract. The annual salary of 40 million is a similar figure. If this is the case, the Knicks might as well trade all-star players in advance to improve their income, and so does Elton.

With the addition of brunson, Robinson and Randall, the Suns’ offense is actually even better. The combination of brunson+Booker+Durant+Randall+Mitchell Robinson is no worse than last season. If a team wants Randall, the Suns can also consider trading, and it is also a good choice to find a defensive fourth position.

This summer, the Suns used all the space in their hands to strengthen their lineup. At present, it is not bad, especially the participation of veteran Gordon, which is very crucial.

I think, if this deal is reached, it is also a good choice to exchange Randall for some blue-collar players, and the draft pick can also be built in to make Gordon the third starting position.

Gordon’s defense is the most needed weapon for the Suns, and his skills are excellent. The development during the rocket period gave him enough confidence, depending on how vogel adjusts the arrangement.

There is still a lot of time before the start of the new season. Sun doesn’t have to hurry to complete the transaction, otherwise it will be forced to eat the junk contract or premium contract. Bill’s junk contract made Sun feel very uncomfortable. At that time, he should try to exchange Paul for brunson. No matter whether it is possible or not, there is no need to worry about the initiative and the balance of the lineup.

Finally, I wish the Sun a championship and a smooth dream!

The reasonable collision zone will disappear at some point! Can you judge this ball correctly?

The ball we discussed yesterday, according to NBA rules, was an offensive foul by Gewei.

In yesterday’s vote, only 37.82% of the bar friends made the correct penalty.

Let’s talk about this penalty.

According to common sense, Trey Young was standing in a reasonable collision zone, and he didn’t take off vertically. According to the rules we learned before, this ball should be properly fouled by Trey Young.

(related information > >Yao Ming, how do you judge this vertical take-off defense?)

However, there is a supplementary provision about the rules of reasonable collision zone:If the attacking player catches the ball in the low area or gains new ball rights, then the reasonable collision zone rule will not take effect at this time.

The ball we are talking about, Gewei received the ball in the Lower Defensive Box, so the reasonable collision zone rule will not take effect at this time.

So Trey Young just stood in an ordinary position on the court. Because he occupied the position in advance, Gewei who knocked him down was blown for an offensive foul!

The dotted line is the Lower Defensive Box.

Let’s look at another shot today. In the picture below, are there any violations or fouls on the court?

The official explanation of the action discussed in this issue will be updated in the next issue of this column, so you can click on the topic below to browse.

The Sixers want Show 4+Show 20! The Rockets refused to trade 1 for 5, and Fertitta would not break his word to Harden.

The president of Philadelphia 76ers always wants to take advantage of others in the transaction, so he has a bad reputation in this alliance.

Earlier, Keith Pompey, a reporter from Philadelphia Inquirer, revealed that the President of 76ers wanted to exchange Harris for Allen, mobley and a draft pick.

As a result, it is conceivable that the general manager of the Cavaliers refused, of course. I don’t know if he has been completely blacked out by the president of the 76 ers.

The President of 76ers watched the Summer League in Las Vegas and paid attention to the Houston Rockets’ game. He was deeply attracted by the performances of Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore and wanted to get the No.4 show and No.20 show.

Amen Thompson is a real point guard. He not only has excellent physical fitness, but also has a first-class passing vision. He has a good defensive awareness and there is room for improvement in shooting. Not only some NBA scouts and netizens, but even teammate Whitmore said that seeing Amen Thompson play reminds people of Ben Simmons. Simmons, who works hard and has the ability to project, will be quite scary. No wonder the 76ers president wants Amen Thompson.

In the past few years, every year, there have been rookie rockets who stand up and say that they are the strongest in this year. Whitmore didn’t lose confidence in himself because he fell to the 20th place. Whitmore fought bravely in the summer league and finally won the MVP. His goal is the best rookie next season.

However, the reality is cruel. Whitmore will not only be impossible to start the Rockets in the new season, but even strive for a rotation quota.

So what kind of chips will the 76 ers president come up with to impress the rocket management?

Harden, the former rocket cornerstone.

"fansided" previously said that in addition to the Clippers, there are several teams interested in Harden. Si Tong, the general manager of the Rockets, is facing the pressure of performance and may consider making a deal with the 76ers. The American media put forward a trading plan: the Rockets sent Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore, Kevin Porter Jr., Jeff Green and the first round of the Nets in 2024, and got Harden from the 76ers.

Will the rocket agree? Sbnation said the Rockets would reject the 1-for-5 deal.

Rockets reporter Jackson gatling revealed on the show that Si Tong originally wanted to sign Harden after the free agent market opened. If Fertitta decides to appoint vogel as head coach, he will welcome Harden back like Si Tong. Once Harden comes back, he will have the privilege, so some talented young players will be sent away as chips.

Earlier, Rocket reporter Kelly Apotheker also said that Harden can lead the Rockets into the playoffs, and young people such as Sengong and Ethan can be added to the first round to make a deal to strengthen the lineup.

Fertitta likes basketball and is proud of himself. In the past three years, he has kept a low profile and rarely made a sound. Now that the Rockets are over, Fertitta hopes that the Rockets can return to the playoffs next season, so he also tends to sign Harden at first.

What happened afterwards? Uduka wants to build a rocket team of his own, and he opposes signing privileged player Harden. Uduka said that Houston is full of talents and has a promising future. He is confident that these young players will grow up and win the championship in the future.

Fertitta felt very reasonable after listening to this, so vogel, the former leader, was eliminated, and Uduka Firewire took office, which caught ESPN celebrities off guard.

Uduka and Harden worked together, so the latter has a great hope of returning to the Rockets? This is really an illusion!

Uduka refused to look at it one dozen times and four times. He wanted the Rockets to play a team role and let young people grow up quickly. Uduka chose Van fleet, who didn’t occupy the ball and tried hard to defend, to guide Jay Green, and Tommy Tam, the villain, to guide Smith Jr. and Ethan.

Although Si Tong is the general manager of the Rockets, he is not as good as head coach Uduka. ESPN celebrity McMahon revealed that Uduka should be the most powerful person in the Rockets except boss Fertitta.

As long as Fertitta still trusts Uduka, the door of Houston will not be opened to Harden.

So will Harden’s No.13 jersey be affected when the Rockets retire?

I said before that Fertitta is a face-saving man, and he will not break his word to Harden in this matter. He will retire Harden’s No.13 jersey. Harden ranks in the top three in the history of the Rockets. He has made great contributions to the local community in Houston, and he definitely deserves such treatment.

Benny: Ronaldo will be persuaded to join Flamengo, Brazil!

When Cristiano Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia in the shirt of Al Nassr, Brazilian singer Nado Benni said that he would try to persuade the Portuguese striker to join Flamengo, one of the most outstanding clubs in Brazil. He hopes to use his small relationship with the five-time Golden Globe winner to achieve his goal.

In fact, Benny revealed that he will soon go to Saudi Arabia and meet Cristiano Ronaldo in this Middle East country. As a note, he is friends with the Portuguese superstar. He also talked about his desire to persuade players to join the Brazilian club Flamengo: "I’m going to Arabia on Sunday, and I’m going to see Cristiano Ronaldo. We met in 2016, and in Madrid, he was my partner. We have been in contact, and I was invited to go there. Now it’s time for Flamengo to convince him, "Diario Do Fla quoted him as saying.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Riyadh as a free agent after leaving Manchester United. It is reported that the Saudi club paid 173 million pounds each for his two-season contract. Therefore, people can’t help asking whether Flamengo can be such an economically profitable choice for the former Real Madrid player.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been in good shape for the victory team in Riyadh since he made his debut in the Saudi professional league in January. So far, he has scored 13 goals and provided 3 assists. And despite Benny’s eagerness, it is very unlikely that the five-time Golden Globe winner will join Flamengo.

Tevez: Ferguson said he would buy me out, and he was very sad when I left Manchester United.

Live on March 11 th, former Argentine striker Tevez said in an interview with the media that Ferguson was very sad when he left Manchester United.

Tevez joined Manchester United on loan from West Ham in 2007 and moved to Manchester City in 2009. Tevez said: "I was loaned to Manchester United, and Ferguson told me that they would buy me out. Then he signed Berbatov and left me out of the starting list."

"The day before the Champions League final against Barcelona, I told Ferguson that I was going to Manchester City. At that time, I was close to reaching an agreement with Manchester City. After the Champions League final, I flew to Abu Dhabi with my family to meet the Manchester City boss and solve the contract problem, which was like a dagger for him (Ferguson). "

Malouda: "I hope Chelsea sign Mbappé"

Malouda: "I hope Chelsea sign Mbappé"

Former Chelsea striker Florent Malouda says he would like to see Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappé move to London.

"I hope Chelsea sign Mbappé, and I think the club should choose the best player like him. Especially when I see how much money Chelsea has spent on others. It all depends on his desire to come to the club, but we must choose such a top player and build a team around him. My dream is to build a team with young players around Mbappé. He has won many trophies and is eager for more, so Chelsea should look for such players. Will Mbappé agree to move to Chelsea? Anything is possible! "It’s not just about preparing an offer with a lot of money," Goal quoted Malouda as saying.

Mbappé has been playing for Paris Saint-Germain since 2018. The 24-year-old Frenchman’s contract will last until the summer of 2025.

This season, Mbappé made 30 appearances in various competitions on behalf of the club, scored 7 goals and sent 31 assists.
