Chapter 209 Wang Zhongjun's Ambition! (Second more please subscribe!)
Tang An continued, "This year's "The Wind" broke [-] million. If "Assembly" can beat "Certificate of Fame", it will not be a problem for the theaters to get enough films next year, at least it will not be as good as "Chibi" which has been released for a week. "Too Much Less"

"Well, since Mr. Tang is so confident, Huayi must give his full support. We will have a meeting of "Red Cliff" next summer!"

Wang Zhongjun finally made up his mind. This is an excellent opportunity. If "Red Cliff" can be killed next year, Feng Xiaogang will have no rivals in the Lunar New Year file.

If it can be realized, Huayi will surpass Bernard as a matter of course and become the largest private film company in the mainland, achieving all-round surpassing in film and television production and distribution!

It is tentatively confirmed that it will be released in the summer, and it is decided not to disclose it to the public. As far as the three of them know, "Red Cliff" was caught off guard.

After Tang An left, Wang Zhonglei immediately said, "Brother, do you really want to be tough on "Red Cliff"?"

"Didn't you hear what I said, so what about "Red Cliff"!"

"But let's not talk about whether we can win or not, I'm afraid Director Han will be unhappy!" Wang Zhonglei said with a worried face.

Han Sanping contacted more than a dozen companies at home and abroad to jointly invest in and distribute the films. All domestic films were tactfully avoided.

"Don't worry about this. Even if "Red Cliff" is killed, it can only show that Wu Yusen's ability is not good. Director Han feels a little unhappy and can't do anything about it. It won't make things difficult for us!" Wang Zhongjun waved his hand.

"Then what if we lose? Wu Yusen's popularity in the mainland is not low, and the lineup of "Red Cliff" is not weak!"

"Tang An's analysis was good just now. Wu Yusen's big blockbuster failed in the two Hollywood blockbusters "Windtalker" and "Hulk". He is not good at big scenes at all!"

"In terms of box office appeal, Tang An is no worse than him!"

"Furthermore, this "Red Cliff" has an investment of 8000 million U.S. dollars. It is impossible for the mainland to recoup its capital. It can only rely on overseas box office. It will inevitably cater to overseas audiences like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"No matter what, next year is an excellent opportunity to defeat "Red Cliff". Zhang Yimou is not in the Lunar New Year file, and win the summer and Lunar New Year files at the same time!"

"If 5000 million publicity fees are not enough, then 1 million will be used. If I smash "Red Cliff", I will kill "Red Cliff"!" Wang Zhongjun said harshly.

If you want to use money to kill "Red Cliff" with an investment of 8000 million US dollars, if you let outsiders hear about it, you will die of laughter.

But if you think about it carefully, the 8000 million US dollars is probably the limit that several companies can come up with, and if additional costs are added, the difficulty of making profits will increase exponentially with each additional million. Not everyone is happy!

And if Tang An's new film is true to what he said, with an investment of 8000 to [-] million, it will cost less than [-] million to spend another [-] million on publicity!
Wang Zhonglei stopped talking in silence, 1 million publicity fees, people thought they were crazy when it got out.

Wang Zhongjun knew what he was thinking when he saw him, and cursed with a bit of resentment, "When will you take a longer view, if you can win the box office champion in summer and new year in a row next year, don't worry about it when the company goes public in 09." Say this is a mere [-] million, and one billion can be earned back!"

Only then did Wang Zhonglei realize that Wang Zhongjun was planning to go public in 09, and he couldn't help but admire him.

"Brother, I am short-sighted!"

"Take one step and look at three steps in everything. Quickly sort out the company's accounts for the past two years and submit them to the Securities Regulatory Commission for review. The 18-month review cycle must be done as soon as possible!"

"Also, before the end of the year, call a meeting with the shareholders and all the contracted artists and directors of the company to raise capital!"

Tang An returned to his office, read the newspaper and news for a while, and the entertainment page was still reporting about "Painted Skin".

Recently, he has received several calls from some medium-sized film and television companies, who want to poach him with shares.

There are also actors who are recommended. "Painted Skin" is also a blockbuster costume movie, and there are not many movies in a year.

But Tang An wasn't paying attention to the film, Pang Hong and Wu Ershan were doing the preparations, Xu Manyun was watching, and Bernard also sent people to watch, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Even if these news were for the promotion of the movie, he didn't mean to clarify, anyway, it didn't affect him in any way.

However, seeing the source of the news, it was Cheng Jiashang who said it during the interview, it really lingers, and she won't cry if she doesn't see the coffin!
Now that Wu Ershan is still familiar with the script, Cheng Jiashang's original script definitely needs to be changed, and some minor adjustments should be made without changing the main storyline. .

In mid-September, Tang An was invited to give lectures at the Beijing Film Academy.

This was an invitation given to him not long after the start of school, and Tang An was confused at the time.

No matter where he is, academics have always looked down on Ye Luzi.

Especially Tang An, who can't be more wild, he didn't even work as a photographer or assistant director for a famous director.

At first, Tang An thought he was going to give lectures to the students of the directing department, but later he realized that it was mainly for the students of the acting department, and by the way, people from the photography department and screenwriting department would also come to listen.

And it's not just the Beijing Film Academy, it's a lecture jointly organized by several schools in the capital, led by the Beijing Film Academy.

The content of the lecture is also to let him, as a director, tell future actors, screenwriters, photographers, and artists how to do their own things well on the set.

Before I knew it, I went to give lectures to the students of the Film Academy.

This is what the 2.45 million box office, the annual box office champion, and the second person in the total box office brought to him.

Director, after all, it depends on the box office!
Looking at the successful people all over the world, whoever becomes famous doesn't give lectures everywhere.

For example, Jack Ma went to a famous foreign school for his lectures, and even established a lakeside university in Ninghang.

Similar to the Huangpu Military Academy in the business world, Jack Ma served as the first principal.

Even Jack Ma and Ma Huateng were invited by the Central Legal Committee to give lectures in the Great Hall of the People.

Let's see who is sitting and listening to the lectures. The head of the Legal Committee took the lead, and the leaders of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Public Affairs, and the Ministry of Justice were all present. Comrade Zhengfa all watched the live video at the same time.

This is awesome, capitalized awesome!

To put it mildly, Cheng Guanxi later gave lectures at New York University.

Therefore, giving lectures to elites, or to future elites, is also a sign of a successful person.

Think about it, there are too many lectures, and this so-and-so will be awesome in the future, but he has listened to my lectures before, and that one is very famous, and I have taught him before.

In the morning, I drove alone to the Beijing Film Academy on Xitucheng Road, Haidian District. There were already several school teachers waiting at the door.

"Hello, Director Tang!" A middle-aged man with eyes, who is the deputy director of the acting department, said kindly.

"It's Director Liu, hello!"

Tang An shook hands with Director Liu, and greeted several other teachers one by one, but he seemed a little disapproving of himself.

That's right, they are all teachers, and their students feel a little uncomfortable now that they want an outsider to teach them.

"Director Tang, thank you for taking the time to teach our students. Everyone is looking forward to your coming. Not only our schools, but even the students from Shanghai have come." Director Liu said with a smile.

"Director Liu is polite, it's my honor!" Tang An said with a smile.

Don’t guess the new movie, if you can’t guess o(∩_∩)o
