I had the foresight to predict something as early as the evening of May 1.

The first thing is that I predicted that "There is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" and "A Trip Through the Moon" may follow the example of "Mr. Red Carpet" and "Let's Shake the Sun Together" in the Spring Festival, and the box office will be withdrawn first.

The second thing is that I predicted that the screening point of "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" would become a dark horse on May 1st, and the box office would reach more than 600 million.

Sure enough, at noon on May 5, the producer of "A Meal of Hot Pot" issued a document saying: "Hot Pot" will be withdrawn on the 6th, and I will see you at a later date.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

So, why did "A Hot Pot", which was released well, suddenly be withdrawn?

1. Cinema box office.

The answer is obvious, the box office of this film is far from expectations, if it continues, it will face huge losses, and after the withdrawal, find a better schedule next time and release it again, it may have a different effect.

At 23 o'clock on May 5th, the journey of the May 1st cinema line ended perfectly, with a total of 1.525 billion yuan in the market, which was basically the same as last year's May 1st file, and a total of five new films broke through the 100 million yuan mark.

The top three are "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", "Spending Money at the End of the Road" and "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City".

Among them, "A Hot Pot" only ranked sixth with a box office of 53.31 million, and the predicted box office changed from 100 million to 72 million.

At present, the box office is 17.57 million, and according to the box office of 72 million, the final income of the film is only 20 million, and finally on the streaming platform, it will sell for several million, and the return on capital will not exceed 30 million at most.

If the revenue and expenditure can be equal, presumably the producer will not rashly make such an operation as withdrawing the file, that is to say, the current box office income is very different from the proportion of investment, so withdrawing is the only option.

2. Miserable marketing: The director cried live broadcast.

Selling miserable marketing is not uncommon in the film industry.

Previously, Louis Koo spent 10 years and spent 450 million Hong Kong dollars to create a mecha movie "Tomorrow's War", which was released in the mainland and viewed more than 20 box offices a day.

During the roadshow, 52-year-old Louis Koo sold miserably in public and choked up and cried several times.

Also, the producer of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" knelt down and begged for the film, as well as the scene where the entire production team of "Flash Girl" knelt collectively.

Coincidentally!

On May 3, Ding Sheng, the director of "A Hot Pot", opened a live broadcast and connected Fujii Shu, Li Jiuxiao and others, he either sighed or hung his head, and some netizens found that he was secretly wiping his tears.

Ding Sheng, born in 1970, is 54 years old this year, and talked eloquently during the roadshow, but now, because his movie was not scheduled, he burst into tears in the live broadcast room, and some people said that he was selling miserable marketing.

Regardless of whether it sells badly or not, such a box office result must be a big loss, otherwise the 54-year-old Ding Sheng would not have cried during the live broadcast, and then withdrawing from "A Hot Pot" can confirm that the film has lost miserably.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

Ding Sheng's live broadcast was in tears, which has something to do with his achievements in recent years.

When he first debuted, he bound Liu Ye, Andy Lau and Jackie Chan, and made several very famous movies, such as "Tough Guy", "Rescue Mr. Wu", "Police Story 2013", "Big Soldier", "Tough Guy 2", "Railway Flying Tiger" and so on.

"Rescue Mr. Wu" received a number of nominations during the awards season, and the box office of "Railway Flying Tiger" reached 699 million.

But after 2018, Ding Sheng began to decline, and he directed three subsequent works, all of which hit the street at the box office, such as "SWAT Team" with a box office of 57.1 million and "The True Color of Heroes 2018" with a box office of 63.06 million.

Now, with the addition of "A Hot Pot", it has directly achieved three consecutive puffs.

You must know that if a commercial director hits the box office, he is likely to retire early, Teng Huatao, who directed "Shanghai Fortress", is an example, and the later big-budget movies basically have nothing to do with him.

Looking at Ding Sheng's work schedule, there is currently only one "Bodyguard Story" waiting to be approved, the release date is set for 2027, and the starring lineup is Andy Lau and Jackie Chan.

3. Budget cost.

Brother Brown launched an investigation on Douban: I feel miserable when I see Ding Sheng like this, may I ask, what is the production cost of this movie?

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

The audience replied in a variety of ways, some said that the production cost of "A Hot Pot" was only 2 million to 3 million yuan, some said that the cost was 20 million yuan, and some said that the production cost was 45 million yuan, plus publicity, the total budget cost was about 75 million.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

I have watched this film, so let me talk about my personal opinion.

Although there are only two places in the scene of "A Hot Pot", there are many things involved in film production, such as the director's and screenwriter's salary, field work, service, makeup, other actors' salaries, art, dubbing, sound effects, and expenses such as food, accommodation, and transportation for the crew.

There are also post-production and theatrical publicity, including editing, trailers, theatrical patches, stills, posters, roadshows, lock-up to increase film scheduling, word-of-mouth management and hot searches.

For theatrical films, it is estimated that tens of millions of dollars will be paid for the screening and advance ticket sales, which is also the reason why the cost of publicity and distribution is higher than the production cost of many movies.

If it is less than 60 million, it will not lose much in the end, and there is really no need to do this kind of withdrawal treatment, so the budget cost of this film must have reached a level.

Based on the above analysis, I think the budget cost of "A Hot Pot" will not be less than 80 million.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

The box office return line will be around 180 million, less than 180 million, you will have to lose, and now the box office is only 72 million, which is less than half of the expectation, and the loss will reach at least 30 million.

This is the main reason why the filmmakers had to withdraw the file.

Fourth, Yang Mi's remuneration and inaction.

At this point, we probably know what that means.

This film is a script-killing genre film, just like Ma Li's "Crazy Call" and Yin Zheng's "Rise to Fame", the whole story is completed in a specific scene.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

In the movie "A Hot Pot", there are only two scenes, one is the theater, the other is Director Fu's house, rent two places, and then rely on the script structure to complete the filming of the whole movie, no wonder some people say that the shooting cost will not exceed 3 million.

also shows from another aspect that the reason why the budget cost of the film is so high, the biggest expense is Yang Mi's personal salary.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

In "A Chinese Ghost Story" starring the top female star Zheng Mou, the salary given by the filmmaker was 156.25 million, and the daily income of 2.08 million was rumored to be a strange story.

Yang Mi is a first-line actress in today's film and television industry, her salary is high, everyone knows it, there are reports that before the salary limit order, Guo Jingming's "Little Times" series of movies, Yang Mi's salary has already received 40 million.

The personal salary of the TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" reached 104 million, and she also rushed into the Forbes artist income list with this film.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

After the introduction of the artist's salary limit order, Yang Mi participated in the symposium and talked about "being an upright person and doing things innocently" to resist the sky-high salary.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

In 2019, Yang Mi's salary has dropped from 100 million to 27 million, a sharp drop of 73%, but this income is still astronomical for ordinary people.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

Yang Mi in "A Hot Pot" is a top coffee position, more powerful than Zheng, think about how much she wants to take away. Brother Brown expects her salary to account for one-third of the total budget cost, almost between 20 million and 30 million.

In other words, the film's final box office share may not be enough to pay Yang Mi's salary.

Yang Mi's salary in this movie is one of the main reasons for the loss, which has also triggered discussions about the excessive remuneration of celebrities, and the cost pressure in the film and television industry can be seen.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!

Since you get such a high salary, you have to be responsible for the investor, but Yang Mi's inaction is a big surprise.

On April 24, after the premiere of "A Hot Pot", Yang Mi and the main creator attended, she began to play it directly, and she could no longer be seen in the follow-up roadshow, and her personal social platform only announced this movie twice.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

and "Harbin 1944", which was broadcast at the same time, Yang Mi was very attentive, and he was releasing it almost every day, and the hot searches kept going on and on.

I want to ask Yang Mi, how would you feel when you saw the 54-year-old director Ding Sheng crying live broadcast?

It's really not okay to return the salary to the producer.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

While Yang Mi enjoys a high salary, he should also consider the interests of the entire team, after all, a person's success is inseparable from the team!

V. Conclusion.

After the withdrawal of "A Hot Pot", netizens collectively ridiculed that the appearance was too ugly, is this a 7-day return without reason?

Some say that the May 1st show was released for five days, and they ran away after eating this wave of holiday dividends, and their behavior has disrupted the rules of the film market, and may be boycotted by the industry like Xu Zheng selling "Embarrassing Mother".

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

In other words, will there really be a good result after the withdrawal?

At present, there is only one movie that has succeeded, that is, Han Yan's "Let's Shake the Sun Together", when it was released during the Spring Festival, the box office was predicted to be only 90 million, and it was released again and got a box office of 275 million.

But the Douban reputation of this film is as high as 8.0 points.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

Other than that, it's all on the streets.

In 2018, Wu Lei's "Asura" claimed to have a production cost of 700 million, but after it was withdrawn, it disappeared directly, and it was withdrawn very completely.

In 2023, Deng Chao's "Chinese Ping Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back" and Andy Lau's "Mr. Red Carpet" will be released again this year, but they have not achieved good results.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

"There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot" currently has a Douban score of 6.2 points, and the reputation is average, and the re-release is actually to find yourself unhappy, and the probability of box office take-off is too low.

Now it seems that if you want to get back to your roots, the only way is to find Yang Mi to return the salary.

With a cost of 80 million, "Hot Pot" was withdrawn, the 54-year-old director cried, and Yang Mi did not act with a high salary

I hope that director Ding Sheng will not be discouraged by this failure, and I believe that his talent and persistence will allow him to create more excellent works in the future, let us look forward to his next masterpiece.
