The box office of "Hidden in the Dust" does not seem to be high, but the cost is also pitifully low, and the actors are almost all relatives

, the box office of " Hidden in the Dust " has already reached nearly 100 million. You may say, 100 million only! In today's movies, it is embarrassing to say hello to people without billions of box office. Yes, that's right. Now that living standards have improved and ticket prices are expensive, 100 million yuan is really nothing. However, if you calculate the cost and compare the income, you will find that this 100 million is a very large number for the crew of "Hidden in the Dust".

According to the analysis of professional institutions, the film may end up at the box office of around 300 million. It is said that Haiqing and don't want any remuneration, and the other leading actors are all the director's own family, so just give a little. The investors and directors will be the biggest winners. I'm not talking nonsense. Several of the main characters in the play are relatives of director Li Ruijun . It is precisely because everyone is a serious peasant that the acting is called real.

Wu Renlin, who plays Ma Youtie, is the director's uncle, the hero's sister-in-law is the director's aunt, the hero's nephew is the director's cousin, and the eldest sister who sells clothes is the director's daughter-in-law, including the director's parents, My uncle also participated in the filming of the film. The male protagonist's daughter is in charge of make-up and costume design for Hai Qing and some other actors, and his son is the photographer for the crew. All in all, most of the main actors are related to the director.

For example, a relative is divided into 100,000, and the total is only a few hundred thousand. In addition, most of the scenes were filmed in the countryside, such as small rivers and cement houses, which cost almost nothing, and the focus was on Haiqing and Wu Renlin over and over again, mainly for their scenes. It's realistic and doesn't cost much film. I personally estimate that the total cost of this movie is at most a few hundred thousand. The total box office of

is not much 300 million, but compared to the cost of hundreds of thousands, is it a few hundred times? Originally, if Haiqing hadn't joined with zero salary, her salary would probably be several million. Now that she doesn't want money, there is no cost to speak of. However, it's not that Haiqing's acting skills are not good. She is still the "out of place" in the whole play. She is not a native of the countryside, and she always feels that she is missing something.

Let's assume, if we replace Haiqing and ask the director's relatives to act, what kind of effect will the film ultimately achieve? In terms of realism, I think it is stronger. Haiqing really can't act the temperament of a rustic peasant, and I can't blame her, she has surpassed most actors. The only problem is that publicity is a big problem. Without Haiqing's support and publicity, and without a well-known actor in the lead role, the key is whether the audience is willing to pay.

This movie can be turned over. In addition to the reasonable and real plot, a very important part is Haiqing's publicity. She stood in front of the camera more than once to promote the film to us, and based on her good reputation before, we had the idea of ​​​​going to see it. If all the staff are unfamiliar farmers, the first wave of people entering the cinema will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult for the second and third waves to progress, and it will be difficult for the box office to turn over in the end.
