Liu Xiao Ling Tong's "The Money Lover" sells sentiments but audiences don't buy it. The box office was only 140,000 in 3 days.

On July 25, the movie "The Money Lover" starring the original cast of "Journey to the West" was released. It was thought that the movie "The Money Lover" would be a bright spot for the audience. After all, "Journey to the West" starring Liu Xiaolingtong is a classic, and Liu Xiaolingtong has a large number of fans and supporters. Unexpectedly, after the release of "The Money Lover", all the reviews were negative, and the box office was even more dismal.

"The Money Lover" is a modern film in which the four masters and apprentices of the 1986 classic Journey to the West team, Liu Xiaolingtong, Ma Dehua, Wang Yue, and Liu Dagang, gathered together for the first time in more than 30 years. The film was released for three days, and the cumulative box office was only 140,000. Many netizens gave it a one-star bad review on Douban. Some netizens said that Liu Xiaolingtong failed to "sell feelings", and some netizens said that if director Yang Jie were alive, she would definitely stop them from making such a low-quality film.

"The Money Lover" tells the story of Hao Kunpeng, who is particularly obsessed with money, becoming rich overnight, and then a series of misfortunes happened. After experiencing many ups and downs, Hao Kunpeng finally realized that wealth is actually a blessing and a curse. In order to find his original intention, Mr. Hao made an amazing decision. It is worth noting that the movie "The Money Lover" is an early movie shot with 8K digital cameras. Director Dong Dong said in an interview that shooting with 8K not only has better visual effects, but also leaves a lot of creative space for post-editing and the output format of the movie.
