Chapter 166 An epoch-making blockbuster (please subscribe for the fourth update!)

"Shocking! Billionaire director Tang An has approved a new film project, tentatively titled "The Wind"!"

"It's been less than two months since "Super Body" was finished, and Tang An's new film is about to set sail. I'll take you to listen to "The Wind"!"

"According to Huayi's announcement, the investment in Tang An's new film "The Wind" is as high as 1 million yuan, setting a new record for Tang An's personal film cost, which is twice as high as "Super Body"!"

"The list of actors announced by Huayi does not include a Hong Kong and Taiwan actor. This is unique among all blockbuster films with an investment of over [-] million yuan in the Mainland!"

"Not only is there no Hong Kong and Taiwan star in the leading role, but there are also no Hong Kong and Taiwan actors in the remaining seven or eight supporting roles. Tang An is crazy! Hua Yi is crazy!"

A blockbuster movie with an investment of over [-] million, starring all mainland actors.

They are all mainland actors, if they are at the level of Cheng Daoming, Ge You, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi.

But what about Li Binbin, Zou Xun, Zhang Hanyu, and Wang Xiaoming?

Zou Xun has only acted as the lead actress in big productions.

Li Binbin also only had one big production, "A World Without Thieves" for Liu Luoying.

Moreover, she has assisted Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses such as Xu Luoxuan, Yang Ziqiong, Zhang Baizi, Zheng Xiuwen, and even assisted mainland newcomer Huang Shengyi in "The Raptor" last year.

Zhang Hanyu also has no leading role experience, and the main villain in "Super Body" has the most roles. Although he is the second male lead, he doesn't actually have many roles.

As for Wang Xiaoming, "Night Banquet" is still in theaters, and the number of scenes is less than that of Wu Yanzu, who is about the same age.

No one is qualified to take on a blockbuster movie with an investment of over [-] million yuan!

You must know that even big directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, the leading actors are basically actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan!

Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves" has both actors and actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and "The Banquet" has found a Hong Kong actor to play the male lead!
Although the male and female protagonists of "Heaven and Earth Heroes" are mainland actors, the third male lead is still a Japanese!
As for Tang An's "The Wind", not only did it not have any Hong Kong and Taiwan actors in the leading role, but it also had no supporting roles!

The media are happy now. The National Day holiday is almost over, and the movies that are still showing some weight are "The Banquet" and "Baby Project".

"The Banquet" has been scolded for 20 days. The reporters are annoyed, and the audience is also annoyed. Whether Cheng Long's standard "Baby Project" can exceed [-] million is still a question.

Just in time, before the Lunar New Year holiday, Tang An bumped into him again.

During this period, major domestic productions were basically covered by Hong Kong actors. There were not even two films like "The Banquet" where the male and female protagonists were both mainland actors, let alone not even a Hong Kong and Taiwan actor.

Nothing to say, report hard!

"Tang An's new film has created an unprecedented record. There is no actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the blockbuster film with an investment of [-] million!"

"Is it arrogance or ignorance, Tang An is trying to challenge the unwritten rules of the entire entertainment industry by himself?"

""The Wind" is a simple but not simple word. Although I don't know what kind of movie it is, but the investment of up to [-] million makes it impossible to believe that the cost can be recovered with this lineup!"

There are doubts, puzzles, insults, and sarcasm. These days, those Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who are watching on the big screen, Ha Han and Ha Ri are the norm.

For a film made by a freshman director like Chen Kai, there are four starring roles, two in Hong Kong, one in South Korea, and one in Japan.

And Liu Ye, who has won the Golden Horse Best Actor and Golden Rooster Best Actor, can only play the male fourth.

Is it because Chen Kai couldn't find an actor?

No!

He is looking for Hong Kong actors, South Korean actors, and Japanese actors, in order to guarantee the box office!

Things that people are used to, Tang An suddenly played cards out of common sense, which is really not used to.

However, some media supported Tang An and sang praises for it.

Fujixun News removed the "Night Banquet" poster in the center of the entertainment page, and replaced it with Tang An's photo.

In the photo, Tang An should be on the podium of the Golden Rooster Awards, full of vigor and confidence.

And the headline of the news is even more "shocking".

"A truly inland Huaguo blockbuster was born!"

"It is unimaginable not to use any big stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is unimaginable in the past domestic blockbusters, from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero" to "The Banquet", and the upcoming "Curse of the Golden Flower", The main actors have never been short of big stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan!"

"Director Tang An is going to break this tradition and create a blockbuster movie with an all-inland cast, our own blockbuster!"

"When "Super Body" did not use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, we could still say that it was a medium investment of 5000 million. Now that Tang An's next movie costs doubled, but still does not use Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, what is this? Courage!"

"Tang An said no to Xiangjiang stars, big movies don't need Xiangjiang stars!"

The media has their own opinions, some people complain about it and others praise it. The Internet is very lively, and the paper media also started to report.

It is estimated that the TV station's variety show will follow up soon!
Netizens also have different attitudes. Various forums, post bars, YY Voice and IS Voice, and even QQ groups are discussing this matter.

A group of movie lovers started arguing early in the morning.

"Damn it, did you see that Tang An's next film has invested more than [-] million yuan?"

"Got it, the title of the film is "The Wind", and there isn't a single star from Hong Kong and Taiwan!"

"Ma De, what are you talking about before the old paper is finished, Tang An is awesome this time, there is not a single Xiangjiang star, I don't know if I can get back my money!"

"What an idiot, Guawazi starts to prodigal after making some money, and then he will lose all his money!"

"I'm going, I just remembered that he didn't use Xiangjiang's stars in the previous three movies!"

"Those three films only invested 5000 million in "Super Body", which is a medium cost. This time, it is a big production of hundreds of millions. Can it be compared!"

"Anyway, I must go to the cinema to support a movie ticket!"

YY voice, a live singing room.

A certain male anchor "Don't Look at Brother Look at the Road" is singing a song from Jay Chou's new album "Still Fantasy" released in September this year.

"a long distance away"

The eaves are like cliffs, and the wind chimes are like the sea. I will wait for Yan to return.

In the age of silence, maybe it shouldn't be too far away to love each other.

I'll send you away, thousands of miles away. Damn it!

The anchor let out a groan, startling the audience in the room.

"Fuck, Brother Lu, who do you want to *!"

"Damn it, brother Lu, you're not fucking, are you?"

"Damn it, Brother Lu, you're sending me a thousand miles away!"

A stream of joking words immediately appeared on the screen
It took two seconds for the host's voice to sound from the audience's headphones.

"Damn it, I read a news just now, it said that Tang An is going to make a new movie, the cost is [-] million, and he doesn't need Hong Kong and Taiwan stars!"

In the Tianya Forum, a certain post was pinned to the top, and the replies have reached hundreds of floors.

"Epoch-making domestic blockbuster! "

After a bunch of gorgeous words, it can be summed up in one sentence.

Tang An started a domestic blockbuster without Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. If "The Wind" hits the box office, it will be an epoch-making domestic blockbuster. From then on, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars will no longer be standard for blockbusters!
There are all kinds of theories below, and the majority of those who follow Tang An are few.

In less than an hour, more than one hundred floors were answered.

In fact, the common people are still a bit angry these days. They hate domestic films all day long.
Although I say I support domestic films and mainland stars, I still have to go to the cinema to watch movies starring Xiangjiang stars!
