In the era of big movies, have you noticed those small-budget movies?

Low cost and high return is what many film directors and producers are willing to do. No one should just want high cost and low return. But the problem is that this matter is not up to the producers themselves, and they can basically control the cost. However, whether the final audience will buy it or not, and whether it can achieve high returns, or the market has the final say. There is a lucky element in this, but most of the reasons are whether the film itself is attractive enough.

When it comes to low-cost and high-return movies, internationally, Saw in 2004 comes to mind first. The cost of this classic horror movie is only $654.38 +0.2 million, but the global box office has reached $654.38 +0 billion, and the box office return rate has reached 85 times.

Next, I will mainly talk about domestic films that are closer and more realistic to us, adding up to exactly ten. Generally speaking, in chronological order.

Party A and Party B, 1997

Party A and Party B is the first successful work directed by Xiaogang Feng, and it is also the opening work of the New Year film. Ge You, Liu Bei, Ying Da, Yang Lixin, Xiaogang Feng and many other stars also participated in the performance.

Crazy Stone, 2006

This is probably the first movie that people can think of. It was a black comedy directed by the cutting-edge director Ning Hao at that time, starring Guo Tao, Liu Hua, Bo Huang and Xu zhēng.

It's embarrassing, 20 12.

Heart maze, 20 15.

This is a suspense film, directed by the cutting-edge director Xin Yukun at that time, starring Shao and other unknown actors. The film tells a series of bizarre stories caused by an inexplicable corpse in a remote village in China. The director used a very complicated narrative structure. Because a coffin is connected in series, the three groups of stories can exist independently and are interrelated, which can attract the audience to keep watching.

The cost of this film is only 6.5438+0.7 million, and the final box office is 6.5438+0.65 million, which is not high, but it is already high relative to the cost.

Pancake man, 20 15

Pancake Man is the first film directed by Dapeng, starring Dapeng, Mabel Yuan and Ada, co-starring Wu Junru, Ceng Zhiwei, Yun-peng Yue and Qiao Shan, and starring twenty or thirty stars such as Deng Chao, Guo Caijie and Xiao Shenyang.

Nezha, 20 19.

This is an animated film whose influence cannot be described by a dark horse. 20 19 summer vacation attracted adults and children to watch and finally won an amazing 5 billion box office. The production team originally planned to launch "The Legend of Deification" in the Spring Festival of 2020, and the market was also optimistic, but the release was delayed due to the epidemic.

The production cost of this film is about 1 100 million, and the box office is 5 billion.

There are also counterexamples of high cost and low return.

In this way, many movies can win high box office at low cost. Actually, it's not. In most cases, low input, low box office and high input and high box office account for the majority, and in another case, the counterexample is high cost and low return, such as the Great Wall and Asura.

Movies are risky, so you need to be cautious in investing.
