The film "Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero" starred by China's top star Xiao Zhan advances into the Chinese Spring Festival film slot. The movie pre-sales started on the 19th, and within 2 days have exceeded 120 million RMB (approximately 73.79 million MYR), breaking the record for the fastest Spring Festival film pre-sales to reach 100 million RMB (approximately 61.49 million MYR), proving his top status and the box office appeal of his fans, marking a good start.
Xiao Zhan's "Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero" faces fierce competition from numerous sequels of blockbuster movies in the Spring Festival film slot, including the animated film "Nezha: The Devil's Sea Adventure"; the movie "Detective Tang 1900" starring Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran with a cameo by Chow Yun-fat; "Fengshen Part Two: Battle of West Qi" starring Yu Shi; "Boonie Bears: Rebooting the Future" favored by kids; and "Operation Jiao Long" starring Huang Xuan. All have significant backgrounds, making it a tough box office battle.
Chinese film industry insiders are currently optimistic about "Nezha: The Devil's Sea Adventure" and "Detective Tang 1900" for the top spot, while "Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero" is mostly expected to rank behind "Fengshen Part Two: Battle of West Qi", roughly at 4th place. Xiao Zhan's fans are not convinced, making efforts to raise the pre-sales figures, currently leading other films by a wide margin. #
