entered the summer season, the film market became much more prosperous. On Saturday, July 23, the national box office finally exceeded 100 million. Among them, " Life Events " starring Zhu Yilong has a total box office of more than 1.5 billion yuan, and " Liu Qingyun , Charlene Cai , and Lam has also performed well in the box office, reaching 543 million yuan. But some companies are happy and some are sad. The summer season was originally an important period after the Spring Festival and National Day seasons. However, looking at this summer season, it can be said that it is both in the world. Some have very good box office performance, and some have completely failed in the box office. Let’s take a closer look at the performance of several summer movies.
First talk about "The Big Events in Life", it has made a profit of nearly 500 million yuan, which can be said to be the biggest winner in the summer season. As of press time, the box office of "The Big Event in Life" has reached 1.542 billion yuan, and the film company has divided 549 million yuan. As an art film, it surpassed the "Miracle·Silly Kid" released during the Spring Festival, which is very difficult.
Previously, CCTV's "Today's Film Review" column gave an important confidence in the report, that is, the production cost of "The Big Events in Life" will not exceed 60 million. This number is very credible. On the one hand, "The Great Event in Life" was filmed for only more than two months. The film started filming at the end of May last year and was completed on August 1. It was filmed in Wuhan throughout the whole process. There were almost no special effects shots, and the cost of real-life shooting was not high.
And in terms of actors, there are no big-name actors except Zhu Yilong, not to mention an excellent script like "The Great Events in Life". In addition, Han Yan serves as the producer of , Zhu Yilong will not pay too high a film, so the production cost of less than 60 million is very credible.
So back to the box office, with the outstanding performance of the movie box office, the ticketing platform continues to adjust the movie box office expectations. The current film company has divided 549 million yuan, removing less than 60 million yuan in costs. The film company's profit has reached nearly 500 million yuan, and the total box office is predicted to be as high as 1.728 billion yuan. If this number is reached, the film company's share will reach 669 million yuan, which means that "The Big Event in Life" is expected to make 600 million yuan in the end.
But it is worth mentioning that movies are actually business, and whoever invests will be paid. "The Big Events of Life" is led by Lianrui Pictures and has joined forces with several other producers to invest, so they will participate in box office dividends. Xiaoyang has also invested through its own company and will also participate in dividends. However, Zhu Yilong, the hero of the movie, only received a paycheck and did not have the opportunity to participate in box office dividends, so no matter how much the movie sells, it has nothing to do with him.
" Mozart in outer space " was not ideal box office, and Chen Sicheng lost. Let’s talk about another movie that was originally a relatively good-selling movie, which is directed by Chen Sicheng. It stars Huang Bo , Rong Zishan , Yao Chen , Fan Wei , Jia Bing and other big-name actors. The movie has made a lot of special effects, and Chen Sicheng has very great ambitions. Judging from the lineup and picture of the movie, the investment may not be less than 100 million.
However, as of press time, "Mozart in Outer Space" had a box office of only 182 million yuan, and the film company only had more than 60 million yuan in dividends, which was still far from returning to the capital. The total box office forecast given by the ticketing platform is 298 million. If this number can be achieved, the movie may still make a profit.
It should be noted that Chen Sicheng is not only the director of this movie, but also participates in film investment through his own company Yitong Legend Film and Television, and is the largest investor. I hope Chen Sicheng can recover the cost and not lose money!
Finally, let’s talk about the worst movie, that is, the China-India co-produced "Dragon Girl". As of press time, this movie will take a long time to read on the box office software. The proportion of films has dropped to 0.1%, and it has been released for 10 days, and the box office has barely exceeded 1 million.
Speaking of which, "Dragon Girl" can be regarded as a major production co-production between China and India. The film is co-directed by Indian director Ram Gopal Vima and Chinese director Liu Jing. Ram is a very well-known director in India. He has created the "Godfather of India" series. The starring actors include new actress Puga, Indian comedian Parth Suri, and actor Shi Tianlong, who is famous for imitating Bruce Lee, and the "Dragon Girl" Mo Qimiya who was selected by Jackie Chan .
The movie also spans India and China, and an important fighting scene was arranged in Foshan . In the action scenes, the heroine Pujia not only has a good figure but also has good skills, but Foshan water fighting scenes are pleasing to the eye.
movie shooting cost is not low, and after the movie was released, director Liu Jing led the main creator of the movie to run a roadshow of nearly 20 stops. However, as of press time, the box office of the movie was only 1 million, and the film crew only had 340,000 yuan. It can be said that such a box office is not enough for the cost of the roadshow, which is really miserable.
Judging from the entire summer season, it is indeed a big deal. The art film "The Great Events in Life" has made a lot of money, but "Dragon Girl" has lost a lot. I hope the audience will not be too biased and can support domestic films used to try co-production!
