爛片《牛來》掀熱潮 票房一度超過周星馳《女足》 | 功夫女足 | 小兵張嘎 | 零票房
【新唐人北京時間2026年08月20日訊】大陸一部製作粗糙的動畫電影《牛來》反向爆紅後，票房從個位數飆至千萬級別，排片率與單日票房竟然反超由周星馳執導的大片《功夫女足》。其低成本，更讓網友把它與北京電影學院動畫學院前院長投資1200萬元（人民幣，下同）0票房的動畫電影《小兵張嘎》相比較。 《牛來》上映後因劇情荒誕、畫面太糟糕在社交平台上被調侃，沒想到這波調侃反而引發全網現象級討論。網友抱著獵奇的心態打卡，促使影片爆火，而且熱度持續上漲。 甚至大陸社交媒體上傳出金句：「看了它，你可能會後悔80分鐘；但不看，你可能會後悔一輩子。」這波反向觀影熱潮使得大陸各大影院急追加場次。由於該影片零宣發，在缺乏官方海報的情況下，影院直接上演「手繪海報」搶客的奇觀。 2026年8月，大陸動畫電影《牛來》反向爆火後，因沒有宣傳海報，影院手繪海報。（網頁截圖） 《牛來》從8月5日上映後9天，票房僅有7169元，全中國觀影僅236人，一度創下今年院線動畫電影的最低票房紀錄。可是，14日爆火後，截至8月19日，影片累計票房已經突破2500萬元，又反而成為中國影壇今年最令人始料未及的黑馬。貓眼數據預測，票房最終有望高達1.35億元。 台媒報導，《牛來》的排片場次與單日票房，更是一度超越周星馳的新片《功夫女足》，創下院線電影奇跡。還能與《奧德賽》《蜘蛛人：重生日》等好萊塢大片同台較量。 在《牛來》獲得高度關注之際，大陸網絡出現對動畫製作水準與資金回報的討論。網友在翻查資料時，意外注意到北京電影學院副院長、動畫學院前院長孫立軍，在1999年至2005年期間耗資1200萬製作的動畫大作《小兵張嘎》。 孫立軍的大作耗資巨大、耗時6年、動用600多人，最終未進入全國商業院線，商業票房統計為0，卻拿下第11屆中國電影華表獎優秀動畫片獎。影片此後僅用於校園、學術及公益展映。 《小兵張嘎》與《牛來》的巨大的反差，讓動畫製作投資回報比話題瞬間衝上熱搜。 要知道，《牛來》是由一對母子耗時5年「純手搓」、成本僅約數千至萬元。導演信雨萌在受訪時還說，作品登上全國院線已實現追夢心願，目前已著手籌備下一部動畫電影《羊高》，繼續由母子二人製作。 這種強烈的荒謬感，讓網友調侃說：「專業隊花了1200萬躺在陳列室裡拿獎，業餘母子花幾千塊在網上創造了千萬票房。」 不過，也有人質疑《牛來》是如何過審的？（點這裡）還有《新京報》評論說，《牛來》拉低了市場對粗製濫造電影的底線，呼籲影院應「替觀眾把好關」，否則恐將失去觀眾信任。 中國問題專家陳破空對《大紀元》表示，《牛來》火爆，更像是民眾在用一種狂歡的形式來表現潛在的反思或者牴觸，觀眾可以發朋友圈，可以集體宣洩，也沒有什麼政治風險。他相信《牛來》不會是暫時現象，也不會是單一現象，這個時代發展下去，接下來就是全民的狂歡，全民的情緒宣洩，會跟官方的意圖相反。 （記者李雲飛報導/責任編輯：岳緣） 本文網址: https://www.ntdtv.com/b5/2026/08/20/a104125695.html Source link
