Why is "Her Disappearance" the number one hit in 2023?

Another phenomenon-level movie that has made netizens crazy about it. Yes, it is "The Disappearance of Her".

According to real-time data from the Beacon Professional Edition, as of July 10, the box office of "She Disappeared" has reached 3.1 billion yuan, making it a hotly discussed film recently. The film contributed more than half of the box office during the Dragon Boat Festival. The single-day box office exceeded 300 million yuan after 10 days of release, and the single-day box office exceeded 100 million yuan after 17 days of release.

First, let’s briefly introduce this film.

Title: "She Disappeared"

Directors: Cui Rui, Liu Xiang

Screenwriters: Chen Sicheng, Gu Shuyi

Starring: Zhu Yilong , Ni Ni, Janice Man, Du Jiang, Huang Ziqi

Length: 121 minutes

Plot: He Fei’s wife Li Muzi mysteriously disappeared during a wedding anniversary trip, and a strange woman disappeared for many days. He suddenly broke in and insisted that he was not his wife, which led to the story of a shocking case.

On the surface, this is a good suspense film, but some people say that this may be the most unsuitable movie for young couples in the past 5,000 years. Those who have watched Cold War are already over it. , many couples broke up on the spot after coming out of the cinema. The sense of immersion in the movie is very strong, and many female viewers knocked off the head of the male protagonist on the theater's promotional poster. Of course, there are also various big Vs on the Internet who take this opportunity to build momentum, and the quarrels are endless. I remember the last time someone got into a fight so fiercely, or argued about whether tofu is sweet or salty?

The box office of "She Disappeared" exceeded 3 billion in 18 days, becoming the first phenomenal hit in 2023. What are the reasons behind this?

1. "She Disappeared" is supported by real events.

In 2019, Wang Nuannuan, who was more than three months pregnant, was personally pushed off an inaccessible cliff in Thailand by her husband Yu Xiaodong. She bought a huge amount of insurance before taking action, just to get huge compensation to repay the loan. What's even more outrageous is that with the blessing of God, my wife was found and rescued by a lost tourist, and she continued to threaten her, and her life safety was not guaranteed at any time. Finally, after his wife continued to show weakness, Yu Xiaodong slowly let down his guard and went out to buy breakfast. Taking this opportunity, his wife asked for help, thus ensuring her own safety

After the police intervened, Yu Xiaodong He even shamelessly appealed. The first instance court sentenced him to life imprisonment. After appeal, the second instance sentence was changed to 10 years. With the efforts of Wang Nuannuan and attorney Shi Datuo, the third trial result was finally reached, which was 33 years and 4 months. After the movie was released, Wang Nuannuan disclosed the whole process of her victimization in a video, making "The Missing Her" a hot topic.

2. Master the traffic password: love brain/antagonism between men and women/scumbag/girlfriend love

This movie has several keywords: the first one is called love brain, and the second one is called love brain. The second is called male-female confrontation, the third is called scumbag, and the fourth is called bestie love, where girls help girls and girls save girls. These four keywords are traffic on the Internet. Some netizens said that Chen Sicheng is a master of splicing and traffic. Any topic list can indeed arouse passion and panic among 20 adult women.

Here we also have to talk about a phenomenon. Some girls started arguing with their boyfriends before they even left the cinema, asking whether their boyfriends would be like the scumbag He Fei who plotted against her? There are even some women who just don’t want to fall in love or get married. In fact, I want to say that it is not necessary. First of all, this is a commercial movie, purely for the box office. Secondly, even if it is really based on the case of a Chinese pregnant woman who fell off a cliff in Thailand, there is no need to be overly sentimental about this movie. , because from a probability perspective, 99.99 women will end their lives hand in hand with that person in mutual dislike.

3. The movie itself has topics that can be discussed from many angles, which is very in line with the characteristics of current society.

This plot is so topical. The themes, characters and plots reveal the subtle relationship between human nature, family and law that this movie explores.

Discussion of human nature: In the film, the emotional entanglement between the couple, the good, evil and contradictions in human nature, as well as the choices when facing difficulties, all show the complexity and multi-faceted nature of human nature.

For example, in the movie, when the wife faces her husband's betrayal and disappearance, her heart is full of struggle and pain. However, it was this pain that inspired her courage and determination to persist in finding the truth.

This not only reflects the tenacity and courage of human nature, but also reveals the coexistence of love and hate, hope and despair in human nature.

Discussion on family ethics: love, trust and betrayal The family ethics relationship in the movie is one of the important themes of this film. The film shows the subtle relationship between love, trust and betrayal in the family through the changes in the relationship between husband and wife.

As the plot develops, the trust between husband and wife gradually disintegrates, and love also faces severe tests. This change in family ethical relationships reflects the family problems that people often face in real life.

Discussion from a legal perspective: During the development of the plot, the different positions and conflicts of interest between the couple triggered a series of legal disputes.

For example, in the movie, the husband tries to cover up the truth and manipulate public opinion in order to protect his own interests.

Here I would like to talk about some details in the film summarized by netizens. I think this is very helpful for us to truly feel the film.

Snakes, spiders and other animals represent the dangers and traps everywhere in society as well as the dark cunning of human nature.

The waves hitting the rocks on the sea represent the anger of the deceased and the anger of Manman.

Van Gogh's starry sky was painted in a mental hospital, which refers to He Fei's mental illness, split personality and distorted thinking.

The glass of the window shattered at the touch of Manman. The window looked at the fireworks, hinting at the place of escape.

The flashing red lighthouse represents the gaze of death. He Fei's red eyes allude to human greed, his greed.

The ending of Hefei is surrounded by desolation, which represents the end of his life. It was he who destroyed all the good things. Every door he ran to was the door to his heart. He couldn't find the exit and trapped himself.

It started as "Sunflower", the sunshine that warms each other, and later turned into "Starry Sky", looking up at the dim light in the dark night. It also implies that the path of love between two people has changed from the sun to a tiny light in the dark night, and the last glimmer of hope was destroyed by "him" himself.

Finally, another wave of sharp and sober classic lines

Everyone wants sincerity and preference, but the world is full of hypocrisy and novelty.

Don’t bet on human nature at any time, don’t think you are special or an exception, and be prepared to lose.

Don’t expect to change a person. Adults only make choices and are not responsible for education.

Don’t underestimate the ugliness of human nature. No matter how good a relationship or friendship is, it may be vulnerable in the face of interests.

In fact, we all know that love will disappear, promises will expire, and people will be separated. It’s just that we are too persistent and believe that we are an exception, but in the end there will be no exception.

Don’t think about being the salvation of others, and don’t think about redeeming others. When you love others, you should love yourself first.

Any relationship, as long as it is mixed with calculations, will only lead to strangers in the end.

Love will not disappear, but love will make you disappear.
