The past three years should be the most difficult to make money, and many people have been unable to make ends meet!
For the current audience, the biggest purpose of entering the cinema is to seek excitement, eager to get some comfort from the movie, release their pressure, if the movie cannot meet their requirements, the box office is destined not to be too high!
02.
Take the mecha blockbuster "Tomorrow's War" released not long ago, this is a boutique that Gu Tianle spent 10 years polishing, the cost is 450 million Hong Kong dollars, that is, about 400 million yuan, such a big production, and the blessing of domestic top 3D technology, I thought it would make investors make a lot of money!
The reality is:
When this movie was released, the domestic box office was only 670 million, and the investor could get 230 million, plus the 70 million box office in Hong Kong, China, and the investor had to lose more than 100 million!
Although this movie has many slots, such as the cliché plot, such as the lack of mainland actors, such as the lack of mainland investors, etc., but this is the work of President Gu, and it is a big production, and the market is so poor, which shows that the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie is not very high!

Logically speaking, Gu Tianle should participate in some "small productions" that cater to the market, the small here, not millions of land stalls, but the cost is controlled at about 100 million, with low costs, investors making money is a high probability event!
The result is:
Gu Tianle brought another 350 million big production called "Looking for Qin"! The action director of the movie is Sammo Hung, and the original cast such as Koo Tianle, Lin Feng, and Xuan Xuan starred!
Those who often pay attention to Gu Tianle, or who like to watch costume dramas, should have watched this "Looking for Qin", right? The role of Xiang Shaolong played by Principal Gu is impressive, the TV series was released in 2001, 21 years later, Principal Gu filmed the movie of the same name, and the original cast participated, the selling point is obvious!
04.
It is worth mentioning that "Looking for Qin" was completed as early as 2019, and it was hidden in the snow for three years after filming, and it has not been able to get the opportunity to be released, mainly because the theme of the movie is crossing, involving a lot of historical stories, and it is more difficult to release it in the mainland market!
Let's calculate an account, if the cost of "Looking for Qin" is really as high as 350 million, it can get at least 1 billion box office to return the cost, and 1 billion such data is not difficult for a comedy team like Happy Twist, but for costume films in which pure Hong Kong actors participate, the difficulty factor is extremely high!
Therefore, if "Looking for Qin" wants to return the capital or make money, in addition to feelings, they also have to get a high reputation, as for the result, let's wait and see!
