After the Tet film season in China closed, the box office growth rate of many films began to slow down. In that context, the martial arts film "Tieu Nhan" continues to be mentioned thanks to the quality of action and the reputation of the production crew.
According to published figures, as of now, the film has achieved revenue of about 1.224 billion RMB. Of which, the revenue divided among the producers is about 425 million RMB. Box office forecasting platforms suggest that the film's final revenue could reach about 1.395 billion RMB.
This is considered a remarkable achievement for the martial arts film genre - a genre that was once a symbol of Chinese cinema but has declined in attraction in recent years. With the current results, "Xiao Ren" is considered one of the highest-grossing martial arts films in recent times.
However, the film's financial problem still attracts the attention of many people in the industry. According to information shared in the production industry, the production cost of "Xiao Ren" is about 700 million CNY. In addition, the cost of promotion and distribution is estimated at 50-60 million CNY.
In the revenue sharing mechanism of the Chinese film market, producers usually only receive about a part of the box office revenue after deducting portions for cinemas and distributors. Therefore, with such large investments, many experts believe that the film needs to achieve a box office revenue of about 2 billion RMB or more to be able to approach the break-even point.
The film gathers many prominent names of Chinese cinema. In addition, the project also received support from many producers in the industry, including the participation of a company related to actor Wu Jing. According to some industry sources, the male actor has supported many stages in the production process, especially martial arts training activities and action scene staging.
Experts believe that "Xiao Ren" is one of the rare films that has recently invested heavily in real combat martial arts scenes. Many viewers assess that the action scenes in the film are elaborately staged, bringing a feeling of authenticity and traditional martial arts essence.
