Five small-cost high-grossing films, Yu Qian's film grossed 350 million! There is no suspense at the top of the list
In recent years, realistic films have become popular, and they can be exchanged for a fairly good box office profit with the smallest cost.
It has injected fresh blood into domestic movies, these movies do not have particularly big stars, no big IP, but can rely on high-quality word of mouth to stand out and become one dark horse after another.
01, "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" 86.75 million
A small-cost literary film, with a box office of 86.75 million, is still very good.
When it comes to this movie, many viewers will think of the scene of "kneeling and begging for a schedule" in the live broadcast room.
The word of mouth of the movie is still quite good, with a score of 8.3.
At the time of release, it encountered Marvel's blockbuster "Captain America 3", so that the schedule was squeezed.
Producer Fang Li used the extreme way of kneeling and prostrating on the Internet to arrange the film.
Let a lot of viewers talk about it.
But don't you say that this "kneeling" really works.
The film got more attention and not only did it do well at the box office.
It was also named the highest rated Chinese film of the year.
Of course, this is also based on the strong reputation of the film.
The film tells the story of the inheritance of traditional craftsmen and the persistence of faith.
The older generation's husband and wife, master-apprentice love, and brotherhood are touching.
Compared with ordinary commercial films, literary films have a natural disadvantage and have always been on the verge of being squeezed.
The content is high and cold, and it is far from the audience's life, and it is understandable that the audience does not pay.
The craftsman is also an artist, the director is an artist, and the inheritance in "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" is not the inheritance of Chinese films.
03, "Hello Teacher" 3.55
A film starring Yu Qian.
Yu Qian is one of the most capable of making movies, and the movies starring members of the Deyun Society are the first to pounce on the street, but Yu Qian's "Good Teacher" is not to be let go.
The story takes place in the 1980s, and there is a story of a group of students and teachers with very different temperaments who "fight wits and courage".
It reproduces the special teacher-student relationship of that era, and has a sense of substitution.
White sneakers, bodybuilding pants, two-eight bicycles, and the hazy love, mutual friendship, are all touching.
The overall style is very rustic and retro, presenting that lame youth and memory in front of the audience.
There is no dog blood love triangle, only eloquent emotion.
Most of the students in the movie are newcomers, but the cameos are many big names, such as Wu Jing, He Bing and others.
Even Wu Jing, who was temporarily pulled by Yu Qian to help, used a meal of shabu lamb to get it.
It cost less than 10 million, but eventually received 355 million at the box office.
Yu Qiandu closed his mouth in joy, and he earned it.
03, "The Unknown Generation": 794 million
In 2018, Rao Xiaozhi's Chongqing dialect film "The Unknown Generation" was well received after its release.
The identification anxiety of the little people evoked the emotional resonance of many viewers.
The movie does not have entrepreneurs on high, stars with stars holding the moon, and the three protagonists are all low-level small people.
One is a downcast security guard;
One is a low-end version of the robber;
There is also a woman with a fierce temperament who is disabled and unable to take care of herself.
On a fortuitous day, their fates were twisted together because of a oolong robbery and a lost gun.
A series of absurd stories have occurred that are ridiculous.
Director Rao Xiaozhi once heard Yao Thirteen's song "Blind Man" on the plane and deeply understood, he decided to base himself in a small city in the southwest and make a story about small people.
Many dialect films made by sixth-generation directors have always been poor at the box office.
After the film was released, it achieved a counterattack and eventually earned 790 million at the box office.
Became the Dark Horse Film of the Year.
A group of "nameless people" all want to find their own identity in the city, and they also represent all sentient beings.
04, "Fame and Fortune" 770 million
The film is still being released.
The current box office has reached 770 million, far exceeding the expectations of the audience, and also won the box office in November.
The film is produced by Han Han, directed by Liu Xunzimo, and starring Yin Zheng, Deng Jiajia and others.
The story takes place during the Republic of China, when a group of filmmakers get together and have a mysterious discussion about a shocking murder.
Unexpectedly, the murderer was also caught at the scene.
This group of filmmakers, there are female stars who have been popular, there are directors who specialize in making bad movies, and there are unknown filmmakers.
Different identities, suspicious cases, all make this movie full of suspense.
The set of the film is very single, and most of the scenes take place in a secret room.
However, the script of the film is very cleverly written and the sense of rhythm is also very strong.
The reasoning story of "Blizzard Mountain Villa" and the twists and turns of the plot are all masterpieces.
05, "Manslaughter" 1.33 billion
The movie Manslaughter (now it should be called Manslaughter 1) is a dark horse.
Although it was adapted from Thailand's "Manslaughter", it was extremely successful.
In the end, it grossed 1.33 billion at the box office.
Executive producer Chen Sicheng also used his good style of comedy and suspense in this film.
Film adaptations have always been unsatisfactory.
"Manslaughter" is also one of the few films that can be localized and successful.
The film does not have a rigid set, but when telling this story, it adds a lot of fresh elements, the story is wonderful and exciting, and the suspense is full of suspense.
High-IQ crimes and rigorous and meticulous reasoning plots have left too much space for the audience to discuss, presenting factors such as family affection and human nature.
