Recently, when the film channel's "Today's Film Review" column reported on the movie " Life Events ", there was a passage: "Since its release on June 24, "The Great Events of Life" has won the daily box office championship for 13 consecutive days. As of today, the box office of "The Great Events of Life" with a cost of no more than 60 million yuan has exceeded the Hollywood blockbuster "Jurassic World 3" which costs 27 days in less than two weeks."
mentioned the report " Today's Film Review " because it clarified a very important information, that is, the cost of "The Great Events of Life" does not exceed 60 million yuan. As a mainstream film media and a column under CCTV Film Channel, it is impossible for "Today's Film Review" to make random comments without investigation and evidence collection. It must have learned through interviews or other channels that the production cost of "The Great Events in Life" is less than 60 million yuan.
So, let’s analyze whether this data is trustworthy.
"The Big Event in Life" was filmed in 2021. The film was announced to be launched on May 27 and was completed on August 1. It only took more than two months to shoot, which minimized the labor, food and accommodation costs of crew members, as well as equipment rental fees. In addition, viewers who have watched the movie know that there are almost no special effects shots in the film, most of which are real shots, and there are not many scenes. In terms of actors, there are only , Zhu Yilong, , a big-name actor with relatively high pay. Generally speaking, actors’ pay for movies is lower than TV series, so the total production cost of "The Great Events of Life" is less than 60 million, which is very credible.
Knowing the production cost, it is relatively simple to calculate the profit of the movie. As of press time, the cumulative box office of "The Big Events in Life" has reached 960 million yuan, and the film company's share of the box office has reached 338 million yuan. If 60 million yuan is reduced, the profit has reached 278 million yuan, and it will exceed 280 million yuan by night. The total box office forecast of the movie by professional box office software is as high as 1.627 billion. According to this figure, the final box office of the account is expected to exceed 620 million, so the investors' final profit will exceed 560 million, which can be said to be full of money.
So let’s calculate it next, how will such a high profit be divided?
As we all know, if the actors don’t participate in the investment, the box office will have nothing to do with the actors after they get paid. The same is true for staff in other departments such as photography, lighting, and art. No matter how much effort they put in or how much credit they have, the box office dividends have nothing to do with them. Box office dividends are capital-level behaviors, and whoever invests will distribute money.
Although the investment amount of "Life Events" is not too high, in order to spread the risks and facilitate the acquisition of resources, there are as many as 19 producers of the film, among which Lianrui Pictures, the largest investment and the most profitable one is Lianrui Pictures. Looking through the list of producers, you will find that in addition to Lianrui Pictures, which ranks first, there are Zhejiang Lianrui Trojan Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Beijing Lianrui Film Production Co., Ltd. below, indicating that Lianrui has participated in the film investment through three companies.
In addition, Shanghai Lianrui Xiaoshushu Film, Tianjin Lianrui Film and Zhejiang Lianrui Trojan Culture Media Co., Ltd. also appeared on the list of publishers, and Lianrui also contracted the film promotion. Lianrui is indeed the biggest profit.
. The producers are Hengdian Film, Zhongying Co., Ltd. , Shanghai United Pictures, Wanda Movie , etc. The Maoyan and Taopiao Piao , which are the ticketing platforms, are also on the list of producers. Looking at these 19 companies, none of them are related to director Liu Jiangjiang, producer Han Yan , and starring Zhu Yilong. This means that none of the three people will participate in box office dividends, even if the three people are the core of the movie and the biggest contributor to box office success.
But interestingly, one of the producers is "Beijing Sorry Film Co., Ltd.", the boss of this company's Xiaoyang . After Xiao Yang registered this company, he invested in his directorial debut " Weather Pre-Explosion ". Unfortunately, his reputation was poor and his box office was only 123 million yuan. However, the box office of " Man-killing 2" that participated in the investment reached 1.121 billion yuan, which was a huge profit. This time, "The Big Event in Life" made another big profit.Xiao Yang did not participate in the film creation, nor did he play a guest role in the film, but just invested money. If the final profit can really reach 560 million, it is equivalent to 9 times the investment return, and it can be said that he is making money while lying down.
Finally, I have to sigh that on the one hand, the movie is artistic creation. From this level, producer Han Yan, director Liu Jiangjiang and starring Zhu Yilong are the biggest contributors, but on the other hand, investment and business. At this level, Xiao Yang is never paid by work. He is just an investment. The profit he gets in the end may be more than what Han Yan, Liu Jiangjiang and Zhu Yilong have together.
