19年準備、2.1億元投入、被遺忘的“饑餓”話題、明星陣容云集，這都使得馮小剛導演今冬的賀歲大片《一九四二》備受關注。
Beijing (CNS) -- Although it made 26 million yuan (US$4.2 million) at the box office on its opening day, the much-hyped movie "Back to 1942" had earned less than US$16 million as of Sunday, four days after its premiere.
Boasting an "all-star cast," "19 years of preparation" and "an input of US$33.7 million," the movie directed by Feng Xiaogang has nevertheless failed to attract large audiences.
People prefer other, less serious forms of entertainment, said Ma Weidu, an antique collector.
The movie, which portrays the devastating famine that struck Henan Province in 1942, has not generally ranked high among online movie reviews.
