Sure enough, during this year's Spring Festival, the new film "热热热" directed and starred by Jia Ling is still the most successful one. The current total box office of this film is close to 2 billion yuan, and the Douban score has also risen to 8.0. It is not only the highest-grossing film during this year's Spring Festival, but also the film with the best reputation during this year's Spring Festival.
Driven by the box office of nearly 2 billion yuan, Jia Ling achieved a total box office of starring movies exceeding 8 billion yuan in just two movies. The last Chinese actor to achieve this goal was Wu Jing, who has the most box office appeal.
However, at any time some people are happy and others are sad. But what people didn’t expect is that during the Spring Festival in recent years, the same group of people are always happy, and the same group of people are also sad.
Jia Ling, who is in the Spring Festival this year, is as happy as in 2021, because the films she directed and starred in during the Spring Festival in the past two years have all become champions, and they have been unanimously praised by most audiences.
And Andy Lau, who is in the Spring Festival this year, is as sad as in 2021, because the movies starring him in the Spring Festival in the past two years have become the biggest "cannon fodder".
In the Spring Festival of 2021, the biggest "cannon fodder" is " The Crowd ", which co-starred Andy Lau and Xiao Yang. This year's Spring Festival, the biggest "cannon fodder" is " Mr. Red Carpet ", which is starring Andy Lau.
Although these two films are both "cannon fodder" during the Spring Festival, they are different. At least "The Crowd" made some money back then, but today's "Mr. Red Carpet" may cause Huge losses for the film crew.
has been released for several days, and the cumulative box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" has just exceeded 70 million yuan. Even "Let's Shake the Sun Together", which was not as good as it at the beginning and whose subject matter was not suitable for the Spring Festival, has now surpassed "Mr. Red Carpet" in cumulative box office. This means that among all live-action movies during the Spring Festival this year, "Mr. Red Carpet" has the lowest box office.
The low box office is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the cost of this film is very high.
Not long ago, the official of the movie "Mr. Red Carpet" just announced the various expenditure costs of the film.
As a director, Ning Hao's salary exceeded 24 million yuan. As the first starring actor, Andy Lau's salary exceeded 60 million.
You must know that the total box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" has just exceeded 70 million yuan, and Andy Lau's salary alone has almost caused the film's losses. It has no box office appeal, but it is getting such a large salary. I don’t know what the film studio is thinking now.
In addition to the remuneration of the director and the first starring actor, plus other expenses, the total cost of "Mr. Red Carpet" has exceeded 260 million yuan.
2 With a cost of 260 million yuan, the film should have at least a box office of more than 1 billion yuan to ensure break-even. However, judging from the current results and trends, the final total box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" will not exceed 100 million. It seems that its losses may become the largest of the year.
