"Laughing God Is Not Afraid of Being Poor" is a comedy film co-produced by two crosstalk actors Jiang Kun and Li Jindou. The film tells the story of crosstalk artists who are not afraid of poverty in the late Qing Dynasty. In this story, there is not only the fact that the poor is not afraid of the performance of the bridge, but also the love story between him and a prince gege is added. Comedy elements and love elements are combined with each other.
However, on the first day of the film’s release, as of now, the box office in first-tier cities is 1,830 yuan, while the box office in second-tier cities is 125 yuan. Judging from the data provided by many online ticketing platforms, only 70 people have entered the venue to watch "Laughing God Is Not Afraid" as of 7 o'clock in the evening.
Among them, the Guangzhou audience was the most enthusiastic, with 23 people coming to watch. As for the Shenzhen audience, 23 people bought tickets to enter. On the contrary, Beijing, where cross talk is more popular, currently only 13 people have entered to watch. Shanghai provided 6 audiences, Wuxi only had three audiences, and Suzhou produced two audiences.
For theater movies, a box office score of less than two thousand yuan on the first day will mean its fate for a day trip to theaters. In the next day, the film may further reduce the emission reduction film, or even zero row film. The screenwriter of
"Laughing God Is Not Afraid" is Liu Junjie. The filmmaker has created many film and television works. The director of "Liang Sheng", which is currently being broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV. From the perspective of script control and shooting quality level, although "Laughing God is not afraid of being poor" can only be called a small-cost comedy, it is still a bit unreasonable with its first day box office not exceeding 10,000.
In terms of longitudinal comparison, cross talk actor Guo Degang’s "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors" created a box office record of 169 million. The skit actor Xiao Shenyang's "Moths Crossing the River" scored 200 million yuan at the box office in one fell swoop. Teacher Feng Gong's "Happiness Is Coming" also won hundreds of millions of box office results. Obviously, comedians who switch careers to make movies can also be successful.
If a movie goes to theaters with a box office of less than 10,000, how much will it lose? At present, film distribution is in the hands of film companies with distribution capabilities. The quotation I have learned is that even if the film is released naked, the producer of the movie has to provide the distributor with a distribution fee of around 300,000 yuan.
This means that even if "Laughing God is not afraid of poverty" does not do any publicity, and even if the poster materials do not have to reach the movie theater line, the producer will have to pay 300,000 yuan to the issuer for distribution operations, etc. cost. It is also because of this minimum distribution threshold that many films have given up on theater distribution due to the prospect that their quality is not good and there may be no box office.
"Laughing God is not afraid of being poor" has the ambition of theatrical release, which proves that the producer is confident of its own topic, word of mouth and other effects. Especially the supervisors of Jiang Kun and Li Jindou. It stands to reason that the two older generation of cross talk actors have their own broad audience base, and there should not be no fans to join in. However, the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny, only 70 people enter the venue throughout the day, very embarrassing.
Of course, as far as the movie producer is concerned, being able to enter the theaters, even if the box office is not ideal, will have other benefits. Basically as follows. First, the production company has accumulated its own works and formed performance, which may have policy benefits. Secondly, cinema movies, even for a day trip, will be weighted when distributing movie channels and online platforms, which is much better than ordinary movies that have not been registered in the cinema. Third, the film staff can accumulate the reputation of theater-line movies. To put it simply, "My movie has also been on theater-line."
What is the nature of Mr. Jiang Kun's supervisory position in the film? The film producer is bigger than the screenwriter and director. In film creation, the screenwriter is only responsible for the script creation part, generally staying in the category of writing work. The director is responsible for assisting the script writers in writing, hosting the shooting of video materials, and assisting editors and other post-production staff. The producer is not only responsible for the creation of the screenwriter, but also controls the director's shooting, and directs the post-editing and distribution work.
is equivalent to saying that Mr. Jiang Kun is the real leader in "Laughing God Is Not Afraid". The position and ability of the producer is completely greater than that of the screenwriter and director. The box office of this movie is not ideal, there are certain problems in the publicity stage, and the producer has an inescapable responsibility.
From the current point of view, "Laughing God is not afraid of poverty" can be regarded as the film with the lowest box office on the first day in the time period with formal and meticulous record of the box office in the past five years, setting a new record for the lowest box office of cross talk movies.
