To say that in recent years, the anti-Japanese film, everyone will think, must be Guan Hu's "Eight Hundred", this movie carried out a magic change in the Sihang warehouse, and imposed a lot of so-called history, but under the directorship of Guan Hu, it was made into a seemingly reasonable war film, but do you know? Leaving aside this movie, there is such a movie, the production quality is not lost to Eight Hundred, but because of the promotion of the crotch, the final box office is dismal.
Yes, this movie is "Defenders", probably many people have not even heard of this movie, which is also very normal, because the publicity of this movie is not very in place, plus the actors do not have any big names, except for a Heziming slightly famous, others may not have heard of their names, the most important thing is that the production team of this movie is still very poor, in today's words, this movie is three no products.
What is Sanwu product? No big stars, no production team and shortage of funds, but the plot is not bad at all, and Guan Hu's "Eight Hundred", this movie is also about the Battle of Songhu, but people are in front of the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, it can be understood that this movie is the prequel to "Eight Hundred" is not excessive, at that time, a battalion commander named Yao Ziqing of the Nationalist Army led the troops of several thousand people to resist the japanese army.
What surprised me was that the film's funds were very limited, but it could shoot the scene of the war, which is worthy of our affirmation, whether it is the enemy and our war on the big battlefield, or the street battle in a small city, it gives people a feeling of surging blood, but such a movie, when it was first launched, did not get too much attention, and even the box office of the movie was unbearable, how miserable was it?
During the period of his release, the box office of the film was only more than 10 million, according to this box office account to calculate, the film side survived to get back millions of costs, how to see the existence of the loss to the home, but the problem also comes, why does this movie end up losing so badly? The reason I think is also very simple, it is because of the publicity problem of the film itself, the publicity of this movie is very crotch.
People who have not made a movie may not know that the publicity cost of a movie accounts for at least one-third of a movie, and even some movies have reached two-thirds, but the publicity cost of this movie is pitifully small, and the reason is very simple, the movie itself is a very low-cost small-cost movie, and it can't come up with too much money, plus the movie has also engaged in so many big scenes, which are piled up with silver.
The proportion of production funds is so large, the money left for publicity is naturally pitiful, because the shortage of publicity funds means that their money is completely insufficient, coupled with the absence of the blessing of big stars, so that the film can not achieve box office call through big stars, therefore, the box office of the movie is naturally pulled down, and the results we see later are also very obvious, the box office is on the street.
