"The Dream of Red Mansions" can be said to be the worst movie of this summer season, no doubt about it.

As of press time, the film has been released for 5 days and its screening share has dropped to 1%. The box office revenue in 5 days is only 4.41 million. The total box office forecast given by the platform is only 6.19 million.

This kind of reward is totally disproportionate to the investment. "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Marriage of Gold and Jade" is not a small-budget movie. In fact, the preparation of this work started in 2006, and it has been 18 years now.

It is very difficult to condense a literary masterpiece like "Dream of Red Mansions" into a movie, so the creative team had been polishing the script and preparing for filming in the early stage. It was not until 2018 that the film officially started, and the film company also opened the media to visit the set. As a result, it took another six years for the film to be finally released. In the middle, there were many problems such as special effects production not meeting expectations and lack of money for post-production. The distribution company also said that the film had no traffic stars and no one was optimistic about it. But in the end, Bona, who was loyal, took over the distribution of the film, but did not expect such a disastrous failure.
