2023 Film Directors Money Making List
With the prosperity of the film market in 2023, many directors have won the recognition of both the audience and the market with their outstanding works.
In this era of competition and opportunity, which directors have become the most profitable winners?
Next, let's unveil the list of the most profitable directors in 2023!
According to the data of this list.
In 2023, 73-year-old director Zhang Yimou: a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth
As a heavyweight in the Chinese film industry, Zhang Yimou once again proved his box office appeal with masterpieces such as "Man Jianghong".
The film was not only a huge success at the box office, but also received critical acclaim from audiences and critics alike.
With his unique perspective and superb directing skills, Zhang Yimou has become one of the most profitable directors in 2023.
Wu Jing: The image of a tough guy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
Wu Jing has achieved great success in both domestic and foreign markets with works such as "The Wandering Earth 2".
He not only showed his tough guy image in action scenes, but also won the audience's love through a deeply rooted storyline.
In the 2023 film market, Wu Jing has become one of the most profitable directors with his outstanding performance.
Andy Lau: Encounter Waterloo?
As a superstar in the Chinese film industry, Andy Lau's performance in 2023 is not satisfactory.
Although the movies he starred in have achieved certain results at the box office, the reputation of the works is generally poor.
This makes Andy Lau occupy the last place in the list of the most profitable directors this time, and he has received very little box office share throughout the year.
However, we believe that Andy Lau will be able to return to the top in the future with his excellent acting skills and influence.
Feng Xiaogang: Suspected loss?
Similar to Andy Lau, Feng Xiaogang has also encountered difficulties in the film market in 2023.
Although the films he directed have achieved some success at the box office, the reputation is generally poor.
This makes Feng Xiaogang have no advantage in this list of the most profitable directors.
There are even signs of suspected losses.
We hope that Feng Xiaogang will be able to adjust his creative direction and bring us more excellent works again.
In this film market full of competition and opportunities, directors must not only have talent and strength, but also have keen market insight and audience awareness.
Only in this way will they be able to stand out from the fierce competition and become the most profitable directors.
Specific data
It is reported that the total box office of the film in 2023 will be 54.9 billion yuan.
More than 500 domestic films were released throughout the year, of which 11 were all domestic films with a box office of more than 1 billion.
48 domestic films with a box office of more than 100 million.
Other movies can only become escorts and cannon fodder, and they may not even be able to recover their costs.
Among them, in 2023, the most profitable movies are "Man Jianghong", "The Wandering Earth 2", "All or Nothing", "Disappearing Her", "In the Octagonal Cage", "Unfamiliar with Life", "Predecessor 4", "Twinkle and Twinkle Star", "Annual Meeting Can't Stop!", "Warm", "Keep You Safe", "Dad", "Three Teams" and so on.
For this situation in the film market.
In fact, everyone is not surprised, after all, the law of 28 is practical everywhere.
And we can see that the directors who can basically make money in the film market are people who have enough fame and fan base.
It is actually difficult for newcomers to gain a foothold in this market.
