The box office of literary filmsThe box office performance of literary films varied greatly. From a global perspective, some art films had achieved higher box office earnings, such as Todd Phillips 'The Clown, which had a box office of 1.078 billion US dollars, Chris Nolan's Oppenheim, which had a box office of 949 million US dollars, and Bohemian Rhapsody, which had a box office of 910 million US dollars. However, the box office situation of domestic literary films was different. Starting from the summer season, films such as Burning Winter, which was nominated for Cannes '"One Kind of Attention" segment,"A Worth the Journey", which won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Director and Best Actor, and "Yongan Town Story Collection", which received a lot of praise at the Pingyao Film Festival, had the highest box office earnings of more than 20 million yuan and the lowest box office earnings of more than 3 million yuan. The box office of a literary film was affected by many factors, including the content of the film, the audience, the timing of the release, and the comments of the people involved in the film. For example, some domestic art films were not popular with mainstream audiences because their content was more focused on the author's expression. Some were also considered "subject fraud" by the audience because of the timing of release, or the inappropriate comments of the main creators caused controversy. All of these would affect the box office results.

Celebrity pay plus box office dividendsIn the film and television industry, a celebrity's pay and box office dividends were two different income models.
Some celebrities could earn high salaries. For example, some top celebrities could earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan for a single film. There were many reasons for this phenomenon. One was the uneven distribution of social resources. Celebrity pay accounted for a large part of the production cost of film and television works, squeezing investment in other production links. The second was the fan economy and market demand. The huge fan base made the stars have a high market value. Fans were willing to pay for the works or products related to the stars. The platform and producers were also willing to pay high salaries to attract viewers. The third was the value of the celebrity's personal brand. Celebrities with high popularity and good image could attract more commercial endorsements and advertising cooperation, and they had more bargaining power in salary negotiations.
The box office bonus meant that the actors would give up their fixed pay and participate in the bonus according to the pre-signed contract based on the box office results of the film. In recent years, more and more actors had chosen this model. For example, Andy Liu had acted in " Anti-Drug 2 " for zero pay to participate in the box office dividends. The three main actors of " Chef, Actor, and Ruffian " collectively gave up their pay to wait for the box office dividends. When they starred in the article " 33 Days of Lovelorn," they made a lot of money from the box office dividends. Tom Hanks cut his pay in " Forrest Gump " in exchange for box office dividends. The attraction of this model was that when the film performed well at the box office, they could make huge profits. Although there was a risk of revenue reduction when the box office was not ideal, many actors were willing to take risks in the face of good scripts and directors due to the huge profit margin. In addition, the popularity of film and television investment activities and the development trend of the film and television industry also prompted more actors to participate in the box office bonus model. Margot Robbie, for example, made a lot of money from box office dividends in 2023, and Tom Cruise earned more than 100 million dollars in 2022's Top Gun 2.
