Chapter 202 The end of the summer file planning (two-in-one chapter please subscribe!)

At the end of August, with the end of the holiday, the 8 summer vacation also came to an end.

Immortals from all walks of life took turns to play, you come and go, and presented a wonderful visual feast to the audience.

As the biggest winner of this summer, after "The Wind" overtook "Transformers" and won the box office title on August 8, the box office inevitably experienced the biggest drop since its release.

It only won 1000 million box office in the fifth week of its release, and 300 million box office in the sixth week. The single-day box office has dropped below 100 million.

On August 8, "The Wind", which has been in theaters for nearly 26 days, was officially released nationwide, with a total box office of 50 million!
Second only to the 2.91 million of "The Golden Flower" and the 2.5 million of "Heroes", it ranks No. 3 in the history of Chinese films.

"Transformers", which had the upper hand at first, officially withdrew from the summer film 10 days ago, and it took a total of 2.32 million yuan in the mainland box office.

Among the other movies in the summer, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" also successfully broke through 1.2 million, becoming the third Hollywood blockbuster with a box office of [-] million since the new century!
周杰仑自导自演的爱情电影《不能说的秘密》以3500万的成绩成为暑期档票房No.3，同时也是2007年华语电影No.3，仅次于《风声》和4月份上映的《门徒》。

The action movie "Fuse" also won a box office of 3100 million, ranking No.4 of the year.

"Heaven's Mouth" starring Wu Yanzu, Li Xiaoru, Shu Qi, and Liu Ye won 3000 million box office and ranked fifth in the year.

Another blockbuster action movie "The True Colors of a Man" was released on the same day as "The Wind", and the box office was dismal, with a cost of 8000 million and only 2300 million at the box office.

The romantic comedy film "Contract Lover" starring Fan Binbin and Ren Xianqi earned 1400 million at the box office.

During the entire summer vacation, in two months, six domestic films broke through 3 million yuan, which is double the three films last year.

Although Tang An didn't have a movie that surpassed the sum of the box office of other movies in the summer season like last year, the 2.45 million score was already dazzling enough.

This is the second director in China to earn [-] million box office for a single film!

Praise can be seen everywhere, and various titles are placed on him.

"Tang An is one of the best commercial film directors in the domestic film industry. He can make films of any subject entertaining without losing the point of view of the subject itself. Horror films can be scary, science fiction films have special effects, and spy films have special effects. The ups and downs of war movies make people's adrenaline soar!"

"Although Tang An is only 27 years old, he is already a very mature filmmaker. Looking at the whole film of "The Wind", from the setting, camera lighting, soundtrack... to the performance of the actors, almost everything is impeccable!"

"After "The Wind", mainland movies are about to rise. Tang An proved to us that we don't need top stars in Xiangjiang to achieve super high box office!"

Just like the praise of the media, the box office of more than 2 million is enough to prove the audience's preference.

"I watched Tang An's four movies in a row, one a year, each one is so exciting!"

"That's right, it's a pity that we have to wait until next year's summer vacation for the next one. I'm afraid there won't be any good movies in this year!"

"Zhang Yimou's film has a big scene. Last year, I saw enough of Naizi, but it lacked a little plot. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to make a movie in the past two years. I don't know what Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" filmed. This year's war It’s uncertain what the film will be like, only Tang An’s movies will be able to watch in the future!”

"It would be great if Tang An made two movies a year, one for the summer vacation and one for the Lunar New Year, that would be great!"

"Upstairs, you think too much. It would be nice to keep one movie a year, but I don't know what kind of movie he will make next year!"

"It is estimated that there will be another genre, comedy or costume?"

"Horror movies, sci-fi movies, and spy movies have been filmed, and the rest are probably action, costume, comedy, war, drama, love, etc. I don't know which one I will choose!"

"Looking at it this way, it is estimated that in another seven or eight years, Tang An will make all kinds of movies, and all of them will sell well. Does that mean he will pass the customs?"

"Fuck, that's right. Do you think Tang An has the same idea? Try every genre, and finally every classic. If Dugu Qiubai doesn't work, stop playing!"

"What's so bad about that, it's better than watching costume movies every year, I'm almost throwing up!"

In the last few days, Tang An didn't have to travel all over the country to do publicity. He slept at home for a few days, and basically rejected interviews with some media, newspapers, and TV stations.

emmmm
There is a feeling of killing a donkey. When publicity is needed, I rush to go to the show. Now that the movie is down, I don’t want to talk to others.

Tang An was lying on the sofa in a very comfortable position, watching the replay of "Struggle" in the afternoon.

From his perspective more than 10 years later, "Struggle" is still a very good TV series, and it will never be out of date.

The scene of Xiang Nan and Yang Xiaoyun's divorce was shown on TV. Yang Mi's acting was really good, and the expression that hurt people was quite good.

On TV, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau advised the two of them to discuss it again, so as not to delay the people behind.

Yang Mi then said, "Don't, if you discuss it again, you will delay me!"

"The reason for the divorce?"

Xiang Nan: "Pregnant!"

staff member:"."

Yang Xiaoyun: "It is a series of problems caused by pregnancy."

Staff member: "Tell me in more detail."

Xiang Nan: "We were fine a few days ago."

Yang Xiaoyun: "It starts with his irresponsibility!"

Yang Xiaoyun: "No, we have to start with our personality disagreement!"

Yang Xiaoyun: "No, no, we have to start with our mistakes."

Yang Xiaoyun: "No, no, you should follow"

Yang Xiaoyun thought for a while, and asked the staff on the opposite side: "I want to ask you, it is the fastest way to divorce. Where do you think I should start?"

Not to mention, Yang Mi is really cute when she is savage, I miss her a bit after not seeing her for so long!
The most comfortable thing in life is probably lying on the sofa watching TV, and there are people feeding snacks and juices next to you.

Two more people who rub shoulders and legs, it's perfect!

Xu Manyun stuffed a nut into Tang An's mouth, raised his hand and looked at the time, "It's almost time, the celebration banquet is about to begin!"

Tang An stared at the TV and laughed, then turned around and asked, "How much longer?"

"About two hours, the road conditions are not good at this point, go early!"

"Alright, let's go!"

Tang An nodded, stretched and got up from the sofa.

You can change your clothes casually, and you don't need to take care of your short hair.

After waiting for Xu Manyun for 20 minutes, he went out.

If you want to say that the capital in 2007 is the same as later, it must be traffic.

The car was stuck at the Jimen Bridge, unable to move an inch.

Tang An looked out the window, and saw that a brother who was driving a Jetta next to him had to turn off the engine every time he stopped, and then restarted the ignition after turning on the front, and so on.

What a savings!

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at Xu Manyun, "By the way, I asked you to mortgage some houses a few days ago, how is it?"

"A total of 70 houses, except for more than 40 houses that already have tenants, the remaining 20 houses have all submitted materials to the bank and are waiting for approval, but soon!"

Originally, I bought 30 sets. Later, the box office of "Super Body" was divided among the domestic box office, and I made a little money from investing in several low-budget films, and I bought nearly 40 sets one after another.

There are almost 70 houses, all of which are two-bedroom apartments of 70-90 square meters, and the average price of a house is about 70.

Nearly 5000 million in real estate, and 2400 million in "The Wind" share, Tang An's total assets are now almost 8000 million.

8000 million, 3 years, as a reborn person, I feel a bit fishy!

"How much has the house price increased now?" Tang An asked again.

"House prices around the third ring road have generally risen to 1 yuan, which is more than 2 yuan higher than this time last year!" Xu Manyun replied.

Last year it was still less than [-], but this time it has increased by one-third, which can really increase!
"That house costs more than 90 yuan, and it's almost 100 million yuan away!" Tang An sighed.

"Almost!" Xu Manyun nodded.

Tang An thought for a while and said, "Then mortgage 20 sets, and 2000 million funds should be enough!"

"Already have a project?"

"Not yet, but the dinner later should be rewarding!" Tang An shook his head.

Although I can remember everything, which movies are made every year, and how the box office is, but when it comes time to use it, I can't think of it all at once.

More than half an hour later, the car arrived at the Beijing College Student Gymnasium next to Zhongguancun.

That's right, Wang Zhongjun's big move is to hold a dinner party in the gymnasium, a big deal.

To be precise, this is a celebration dinner and a talent show of Huayi's stars.

There is a huge stage ahead, which is comparable to a first-line singer's concert. There are all kinds of facilities. Other places have been arranged.

Tang An and Xu Manyun walked in side by side, the main character came, everyone stopped talking, Qiqi looked this way.

"Haha, Mr. Tang, you are finally here, everyone is eager to see through!"

Wang Zhongjun strode over from the crowd, put his hand on Tang An's shoulder, and shook hands with Xu Manyun.

"Hello Mr. Xu, welcome."

"Wang Dong, you made it look like a concert, what a big move!"

Looking around, Tang An replaced these people with ordinary audiences, and it was like a concert!

"Today is mainly to celebrate "The Wind" winning the box office championship of the year. This is Huayi's first movie with a box office of [-] million. Of course it should be more lively!" Wang Zhongjun said as a matter of course.

With an additional [-] million film under its banner, Huayi is one step closer to Bernard in terms of distribution, and now that Bernard has started to get involved in film and television production, and Guangxian has crossed over to enter the film and television industry in an all-round way, and Huayi will fall behind if he is not careful. up!

Tang An smiled and didn't say a word, let's do what he likes.
I said hello to everyone, almost everyone who is qualified to come, the others are either too busy or don't want to come.

Before the banquet started, there were singing and dancing on the stage. Not only Huayi's second- and third-tier stars came on stage, but also some of the invited guests.

After the show ended, Wang Zhonglei took the stage to host, "Guests and friends, our banquet today is mainly to celebrate the first domestic spy war blockbuster "The Wind" directed by Tang An with a total box office of 2.45 million and topping the annual box office list. champion."

Amid the applause of everyone, Tang Shan took the stage.

Tang An picked up the microphone and looked at the handsome men and women in the audience and their big bellies.

"Welcome everyone to take time out of their busy schedules to attend this dinner, and thank you, Director Wang, for your kindness and making such a big move!"

"thank you all!"

"The success of a film is not only due to me alone, but thanks to the hard work of the entire crew, the support of the publicity department, and the film arrangement given by the theater."

Once he opened his mouth, the exit was a beautiful article, and he said a lot of scenes.

This is not over yet, Wang Zhonglei thanked Datong on behalf of Huayi, and asked Tang An some thoughts, experiences, and insights.
Long-winded and long-winded for more than half an hour!
After dealing with everyone who came up to toast one by one, Tang An was able to catch his breath.

After looking around for a while, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people headed by Yu Dong chatting in the distance.

After seeing one of them clearly, Tang An made a thought, and walked over with a wine glass.

"Yu Dong, Mr. Pang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhao."

"What are you guys talking about?"

Tang An smiled and clinked a glass with them.

After a brief greeting, Tang An didn't interrupt.

The others tactfully made excuses and left, leaving Tang An and Yu Dong behind.

"Mr. Tang, I saw an acquaintance over there, let's meet again another day."

But Tang An held back one of them.

"Mr. Pang, I happen to have something to talk to you about. I don't know if it's convenient!"

Pang Hong was stunned for a moment, he also thought that Tang An came to find Yu Dong, but he didn't expect to involve himself.

But since it's something, let's listen to it.

"Of course it's convenient for Mr. Tang to invite you, just say so." Pang Hong smiled.

Tang An ignored the astonished Yu Dong, and said directly to Pang Hong, "I heard that your factory is planning to shoot a fantasy blockbuster with ancient costumes, can Mr. Pang tell us?"

Pang Hong didn't expect that Tang An would ask this question. Ningxia Film Producer was indeed led by him to launch a magical blockbuster. The script was already in the case of Optoelectronics. It was no secret, so he said immediately.

"There is such a thing. Our factory plans to adapt "Painted Skin" in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" and put it on the big screen. Is Director Tang also interested?"

"Of course, I know a lot about ancient myths and ghost stories in our country, and I plan to make one myself in the future. I don't know if Mr. Pang can count me in." Tang An said with a smile.

Pang Hong just said that casually, but he didn't expect that Tang An would really join the group.

He was puzzled, Tang An joined Huayi, and he could invest in his own films, why did he find him!
However, after a little consideration, he also agreed. A project with an investment of nearly [-] million yuan is not something their small Ningxia Film Studio can afford.

And with Tang An's current reputation, it would be of great benefit to the movie to find him in the team and to be named as a producer!
"Since Mr. Tang has this intention, it's great!"

Tang An looked at Yu Dong again, and said with a smile, "Berner has also started to enter into film and television production recently. I wonder if Yu Dong is interested in joining us?"

Yu Dong was listening to the two of them chatting there, and he was at a loss.

He thought that Tang An was looking for him for something, but it turned out that he chatted with Pang Hong and left himself alone.

He also knows about "Painted Skin" by Ningxia Film Studio. Although the story is well-known, the tentative director is Cheng Jiashang, and he doesn't have any box office appeal in the mainland, so he doesn't care too much.

Hearing what Tang An meant, not only did he want to join the group, but he also wanted to pull himself along!

Although he didn't understand, Tang An didn't look like he was joking. Maybe there was something in it that he didn't understand, so he agreed first and asked later.

"If Mr. Pang doesn't mind, we, Bernard, will be counted among them!"

Anyway, this kind of large-scale production with an investment of nearly [-] million cannot be negotiated in a day or two!
