【Star Information】With the main theme of the National Day file, the anti-US and aid-Korea theme movie "Changjin Lake", the box office exceeded 5 billion, and the three directors Chen Kaige, Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian successfully entered the top ten box office list. Lin Chaoxian ranked second with 11.034 billion yuan as the highest-grossing director, Chen Kaige ranked fifth as the highest-grossing director with 9.796 billion, and Xu Ke ranked sixth as the highest-grossing director with 9.789 billion. The brothers Anthony Russell and Joe Russell are in eighth and ninth place, leaving aside these two Hollywood directors, Yan Fei and Peng Damo are in ninth and tenth places. What makes the list different is that zhou Xingchi, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, three big directors, are not shortlisted, is it their box office appeal, or is there another reason? Next, let's explore which of the top ten highest-grossing directors are well-deserved, and which directors are too watery?
The box office level of a movie is not determined by the ability of the director alone, and the seven factors such as the popularity of the subject matter, the investment cost, the behind-the-scenes team, the quality of the script, the level of the actors, the publicity strategy and the schedule arrangement are inseparable, and the birth of a box office blockbuster movie often needs these seven factors to be possessed at the same time. However, the two factors of the popularity of the theme and the cost of investment are determined by the investor, and the director can only form a behind-the-scenes guarantee within the investment cost Fan Wei, select the script, select the actors, schedule arrangements and publicity strategies, which are the responsibility of the distribution company. If the investor's responsibility for the heat of the subject matter and the investment cost are compared to the time of day, and the schedule arrangement and publicity strategy that the distributor is responsible for are compared to the geographical advantage, then the director's responsibility can be compared to the person. However, some directors can exert their influence to the maximum, and can still turn the situation around in the case of unfavorable time and place, and this influence is actually the appeal of the box office!
Director Chen Sicheng's film works won a good result of 11.98 billion at the box office, thanks to the popularity of the "Detective Chinatown" series of themes, the continuous increase in investment costs and the large-scale publicity, which is why this series contributed 8.744 billion yuan to director Chen Sicheng. In addition, he worked with a number of directors to guide "My Hometown and Me" to contribute 2.83 billion to him at the box office. In this case, Chen Sicheng's director list has been the first place, but his personal box office appeal is somewhat inflated! "My Hometown and Me" is a platter of seven directors, and when the box office is counted, it should be 2.83 billion divided by seven, and the result is 400 million for each director. Therefore, it is more reasonable that the cumulative box office of Chen Sicheng's films is 9.144 billion.
Lin Chaoxian is one of the best Mesozoic action film directors in Hong Kong, and since 2016, "Mekong Action" began to use the main theme of patriotic films, and the director's films have soared at the box office. "Operation Mekong" broke through the 1 billion mark, "Operation Red Sea" broke through the 3 billion mark, "Chosin Lake" broke through the 5 billion mark, and the cumulative box office of the director's film reached 11.034 billion. His early Hong Kong classic films include "Beast Cop", "Jianghu Emergency", "Informant", "Witness" and "Guild Wars". Nicholas Tse and Cheung Ka Fai won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor by starring in the films he directed. Lin Chaoxian is a very powerful director, but the appeal of the box office is still a bit inflated, because although "Chosin Lake" has obtained 5 billion box office, the film is filmed by three directors at the same time, and with the help of patriotic enthusiasm to obtain results, so 5 billion divided by 3 results is 1.66 billion, so Lin Chaoxian director film cumulative box office of 9.374 billion.
Xu Zheng is a Chinese mainland promising Mesozoic comedy director and actor, with the "Tai 囧", "Hong Kong 囧" and "囧Mom" three film road comedies to establish a personal style, has a certain box office appeal, but he directed the film cumulative box office of 10.253 billion this achievement is too much moisture. This achievement also counts the box office of the three platter films "My Motherland and Me", "My Hometown and Me" and "My Father and Me". According to the statistical method of the average distribution of box office by multiple directors, the cumulative box office of Xu Zheng's films is 2.882 billion for "Tai 囧" and "Hong Kong 囧", "My Motherland and Me" 3.17 billion divided by 7 results for 450 million, and "My Hometown and Me" 28.30 divided by 7 for 404 million. "My Fathers and Me" divides 13.72 by 4 to 343 million. The total box office was 28.82 + 4.5 + 4.04 + 3.43 = 4.079 billion. This achievement is the real level of the box office of xu Zheng's film.
Ning Hao is Chinese mainland director with great personality, with "Crazy Racing", "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Alien" trilogy to the extreme, with "No Man's Land" fully proved his artistic achievements and thinking about society. Ning Hao's films "Heart Blossoms" and "Crazy Aliens" are both high-grossing, but he also participated in the platter film "My Hometown and Me", leaving aside the overlapping part of the remaining box office of 7.502 billion.
Chen Kaige is a quasi-master-level director of Chinese mainland, whose representative works include classic films such as "Farewell to the Overlord", "Yellow Land", "Jing Ke Thorn Qin Wang" and "Mei Lanfang". Entering the 21st century, the directors of "Wuji" and "Taoist Descending" are two films that are very controversial and regarded as bad films. Chen Kaige's films have accumulated 9.796 billion yuan at the box office, which is particularly large. Because "My Motherland and Me" and "Chosin Lake" are both works of multi-person directors, none of the films he independently directed broke 500 million at the box office. According to the rules, the 3.17 billion and 7 divisions of "My Motherland and Me" by 7 result is 450 million, and the 5 billion of Chosin Lake is divided by 3 to 1.67 billion. The cumulative box office of chen Kaige's films is 3.845 billion.
Tsui Ke is a well-known Hong Kong film director, especially good at martial arts films. The director's representative works include "Shanghai Night", "Huang Feihong" series, "Green Snake", "Liang Zhu", "Di Renjie" series and "Wise Tiger Mountain". In Hong Kong, the cumulative box office of directed films in the past 90 years ranked second, and the first was Wang Jing. In 2005, it fully entered the mainland market, and in 2010, it returned to the peak with the return of the king of "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire". The cumulative box office of Xu Ke's films of 9.789 billion yuan includes the three directors of "Chosin Lake", and the statistical result according to the rules is 6.459 billion.
Guan Hu is one of the representative figures of the sixth generation of directors in Chinese mainland, whose representative works include "Bullfighting", "Killing", "Old Cannon" and "Eight Hundred". His independent director's film was the highest-grossing film "Eight Hundred", but he participated in two platter films including "My Motherland and Me" and "King Kong Chuan", so we subtracted the parts belonging to other directors on the basis of 8.659 billion and got a result of 5.05 billion.
Wu Jing is a well-known action actor and director in Chinese mainland, and has pioneered military action films with the "Wolf Warrior" series, including "Wolf's Teeth", "Wolf Warrior" series and "My Father and Me". The reason why Wu Jing can rise rapidly is inseparable from the patriotic education trend in our country. Throw away the other directors in "My Father and Me" according to the rules, and the final result is 6.614 billion.
As for Yan Fei and Peng Damo, both newcomers in the directing industry, who have not yet grown into independent directors, the two jointly directed the filming of "Charlotte Troubles" and "The Richest Man in Xihong". But when mentioning these two films, everyone thinks of Shen Teng and Ma Li, and no one cares who the director is? In addition, he also participated in the directorship of the platter film "My Hometown and Me". If my two directors according to the rules of the film box office may be within 2 billion.
Director's inventory with real box office appeal:
On the box office appeal Zhou Xingchi is definitely the top of the list, many people watch movies to pay attention to the genre, actors and stars, and production, but watching Zhou Xingchi movies is basically everyone is directed at Stephen Chow himself. Secondly, Zhang Yimou, Xu Ke, Wu Jing, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kexin, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and Jiang Wen all have a certain box office appeal. Even if these directors make a poor quality film, they can have at least 300 million to 500 million basic plates. If the quality passes through the 1 billion, there is basically no big problem!
