Although "New Year's Eve" has gradually been replaced by "Spring Festival" in the mainland, this concept is still popular in Hong Kong, its birthplace. After being "out of stock" for a long time due to the COVID-19, the rebound of this year's "New Year Celebrations" in Hong Kong is remarkable. Many films, such as "Bitter Tongue", "Under the Super Nervous Weapon Robbery", have sold at the box office, and a large number of audiences have poured into cinemas. At the same time, they expect to reproduce the golden age of classic New Year Celebrations in the 1980s and 1990s. The overall market is improving. For many Hong Kong audiences, the New Year movie covering the Spring Festival holiday is similar to the Spring Festival movie. It is a tradition to watch the star-studded and lively New Year movie during the holiday. However, during the Spring Festival in 2021 and 2022, the epidemic caused the temporary closure of cinemas and other gathering places, and it was not until this year that the normal situation was restored. According to the Yahoo website, "Hong Kong audiences haven't seen the New Year movie for two years in a row, but they didn't expect that the release of" Poison Tongue Big Picture "was a great success, and the record was constantly broken after the low level of Hong Kong-produced New Year movie before the epidemic." The release of "Poison Tongue Big Picture" on the New Year's Eve broke many box office records at one time, with a box office of 3.5 million yuan (Hong Kong dollars, the same below) on the first day, making it the first box office in Hong Kong-produced New Year movie history, With a box office of more than 30 million in five days, it is the fastest Hong Kong-produced film in history to break through 40 million. Yahoo! Laments that "even Hollywood blockbusters are difficult to achieve". Driven by "Poisonous Tongue", the overall market of Hong Kong New Year's Gala has improved this year, and local audiences have a strong desire to watch movies. The cumulative box office revenue from the 21st to the 24th exceeded 50 million. As of the 29th, another New Year comedy "Under the Super Nervous Robbery" also received 11 million yuan at the box office. The ancient martial arts film "Qiaofeng Biography of the Eight Heavenly Dragons" starred by Yen Zidan, the theater version of the Japanese animation "Slam Dunk Master" and the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Avatar 2" also performed well. According to the Hong Kong China News Agency, Hong Kong cinemas were closed for 163 days in 2020, 48 days in 2021, and 104 days last year. "Now as the society gradually enters the post-epidemic era, various anti-epidemic measures have been lifted, and the dark hour of the film industry has passed. Hong Kong-produced films have repeatedly broken box office records since last year. It is not surprising that the New Year's festival has rallied". "Joy" and "Joy", starred by Hong Kong comedian Huang Zihua, attracted much attention before the release. Last year, he starred in "Still Think You Are the Best" (also known as "Rice Drama Attacks the Heart"), which not only became the most popular comedy in Hong Kong film history with a box office of more than 60 million yuan, but also received great acclaim after its release in Hong Kong. "Fanxi Attacks the Heart" was originally a family warm comedy focusing on the 2022 New Year's Day, but it had to be postponed to September because of the epidemic, and finally moved the audience with Huang Zihua's comedy talent and civilian perspective. This year's "Poisonous Tongue" is an "atypical New Year movie". Although there are also representative humorous performances and uninhibited characters in the film, the plot is still based on a serious legal drama with a strong sense of social responsibility. "Poisonous Tongue" tells the story of Lin Liangshui, a lawyer played by Huang Zihua, who is determined to overturn the case for the wronged defendant in order to make up for the mistakes he once made, and even to fight against the powerful family. In the eyes of Hong Kong media such as Ta Kung Pao, "Poisonous Tongue" does not have the routine of traditional New Year movies
