Disaster Artist

"Tourists", how much is the box office?

Because of Lu Qian's relationship, many eyes in the entire film industry are bustlingly projected, paying attention to the box office performance of an art film.

Some people are optimistic, some people are bad, some people eat melons, some people watch, but no matter what their views and attitudes are, the action of "following" itself has already demonstrated Lu Qian's influence:

Although "Tourist" is only Lu Qian's third directorial work, the young and new director has captured people's attention like a comet, and has written miracles again and again, which also makes people's attention impossible Avoid gathering over, curious about a result:

success? fail? mediocre? Or is it gradually disappearing from the crowd?

Some people say that 300 million, after all, the movie has won a lot of praise in Weihai and Seika, and with the blessing of Lu Qian's name, it is still attractive to the audience.

Some people say that at 30 million, the theme of the movie is still too niche to resonate widely, so the box office figures can already be called a success.

Some people say that with 100 million people, people will choose to enter the movie theater because of Lu Qian's name, but they will be less interested because of the theme and content of the movie.

Among the rustling opinions and predictions, the highest number is about 400 million, and the lowest number is only 10 million, with sharp differences.

The main reason is that the box office prospects of art films are inherently unpredictable, and it is difficult for even senior professionals in the industry to draw conclusions; and Lu Qian's "market appeal" temporarily lacks further verification. The two works of "Raid" are still very early from the scale of "forming a mass base".

For reference, the final global box office of "Spiritual Master" is 200 million; the total global box office of "Grand Hotel" is 1.2 billion.

The digital gap is huge.

Compared with the production cost, the two films have successfully recovered the cost and realized profits only through the box office data, but the specific return on investment is far from the same.

Moreover, it can be seen from the stark difference in the final total box office figures of the two films that the box office of art films is unpredictable. In the past five years, the media applauded the art films with the final box office of less than one million, both hands counted However, Qu Gao and widowhood are still the biggest shackles of art films.

"Tourists" are no exception.

It is precisely because of this that the importance of the awards season is highlighted. "Golden Book Award nominated works" and "Golden Book Award winning works" are the best bonuses. The former can often bring 30% to 70% to the film. % of the box office increase; the latter may bring up to 300% of the box office bonus for the film.

Of course, the percentage is only an estimate and cannot be done accurately, and the specific situation still needs to be judged according to the specific film; but it is certain that a nomination, with or without, is very important for art films that are struggling to seek attention; At the same time, it is also the key to opening a whole new world for independent films.

This is what makes the awards season prosperous and brilliant.

Although people in the industry hate the awards season for making all movies standardized and commercialized, and then losing the edge and color of film creation; but everything is one and two sides, and the advantage of commercialization is that more filmmakers can get Creation opportunities also give art films a fertile soil for survival.

"Tourists" are no exception.

The attention, discussion, and onlookers in the industry are the best affirmation for the film, but considering the uncertainty of the box office of art films, the bustling predictions and judgments in the end are in chaos, and no one can easily assert—

In fact, this is the best, because of uncertainty, because of various possibilities, so things are interesting.

The sense of anticipation boiled up in the blood.

week after week.

One week, another week.

The industry's attention has always revolved around "tourists". With the gradual deepening of the awards season, blockbuster works of major film companies have appeared one after another, but "tourists" have always occupied a place in the hot topic, which also directly verifies that a View--

Even if it is a feature film / art film, Lu Qian's dark humor and market attributes can still penetrate into the film, which is very friendly to the audience.

Perhaps, in the eyes of professionals, this is obviously not a "master" at all; but in the eyes of the general public, it seems much more cordial.

then--

830 million.

"Tourist", which swept 830 million box office figures worldwide, successfully continued Lu Qian's invincible myth with unparalleled performance.

From a digital point of view, the box office performance of "Tourist" is not at the same level as that of "Unfriend" and "Raid"; however, the success of "Tourist" has set off a storm in Lanchuan's film industry. :

The investment production cost of 3 million, without any big-name stars, the artistic work starting from the Weihai Film Festival... These labels are enough to make the final box office numbers look very, very amazing.

But the most important thing is that this is the first time that Lu Qian has challenged a plot movie.

When Lu Qian announced that he was about to start the production of "Avalanche", everyone in the industry thought it was a disaster movie, and they all said that it was a natural choice and expressed their expectations.

As time progressed, the truth was pieced together step by step, and people gradually realized that this was a drama film, and the wind changed immediately.

It's not that you can't try to create works of art in commercial films, but it's very difficult and risky. This is obviously a thankless adventure. Lu Qian has just made two successful films. It is wise to strike while the iron is hot to consolidate his advantages. choice, instead of rushing to start the transformation——

As soon as I learned to walk, I already wanted to fly.

In the eyes of professionals, Lu Qian should be too confident and too proud, and was carried away by the continuous success of the two works, but this was the case when he was young and vigorous. After the cruel blow of reality, he was pressed to the ground. Rubbing and rubbing will wake you up.

However, now what?

Best Director at the Weihai Film Festival.

Second place in the Audience Choice Award at the Seka Film Festival~www.novelmt.com~ 830 million at the global box office.

Lu Qian, not only continued the success -

The unbelievable box office return still makes the major film companies envy their stomachs. Compared with the sudden rise of commercial films, the final revenue of art films can actually exceed 300 million. It makes all the jaws of a film company dislocated. Looking at the financial report of my own family is like crying without tears.

In addition to the dazzling box office numbers, the harvest and affirmation of the awards are also eye-catching. No matter how the "tourists" perform in the next awards season, the film has already achieved success. Even if the Golden Book Award nominations are not received, the audience will I will still remember many wonderful moments of the Weihai Film Festival.

From any point of view, the success of "tourists" is beyond doubt and cannot be envied.

However, this is still not all.

"How long can the myth of Lu Qian's invincibility last?"

On the eve of the official release of "Human Removal Plan", "Lanchuan Daily" wrote a special feature, once again focusing the entire industry's attention on Lu Qian.
