Online Discussion: Why Do Happy Mahua Films Consistently Underperform at the Box Office?
2023-10-11
Following the disappointment of "Creation of the Gods" in August, the latest film starring Happy Mahua member Wei Xiang, "Not as Hot-Blooded as It Seems," while maintaining decent reviews, has once again suffered at the box office, with a cumulative total of only $133 million. This has sparked a lively debate among netizens.
One netizen expressed, "The poster looks quite mediocre; if it were a bit more standard, there might still be an audience willing to watch. Happy Mahua has recently produced several lackluster films with subpar reviews." Another netizen pointed out, "Since the lead isn't Shen Teng, Wei Xiang, while suitable as a supporting actor, seems somewhat inadequate in the leading role, leaving traces of subpar acting." There are also those who emphasized, "Happy Mahua's better works always seem to revolve around Shen Teng."
However, some netizens also reminded others that "Not as Hot-Blooded as It Seems" is not a production of Happy Mahua but simply features Happy Mahua members in the cast.
