Chapter 238 The King of Summer Vacation (Second Update!)

"Director Tang, may I ask if the video uploaded on the Internet is the content of the movie?"

"Or is it just the actors playing around, just tidbits?"

"What other magic tricks will appear in the movie? How will the trick that Director Tang said about robbing the bank be implemented? Can you tell me about it?"

"Fans are looking forward to Director Tang's "You Now You See Me". When will Director Tang plan to release it?"

In the afternoon, Tang An was invited by Yu Dong to come to the Beijing New Century Cinema to attend the world premiere of "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Disarming Armor". Reporters were surrounded.

How can an ordinary costume blockbuster be compared with Tang An's movies, let alone "Now Now You See Me" is the hot topic of discussion among the media and audiences.

As for "Three Kingdoms Seeing the Dragon Unloading its Armor"?
It's impossible for this film to be a big hit. With Liu Dehua + the theme of the Three Kingdoms, which has become popular recently, it will not only hit the box office of more than 3000 million like "Jiangshan Beauty".

It's almost 8000 million—the range of [-] million and [-] million. They have already prepared the press releases for the two situations, and they will send them out as soon as the box office comes out.

Tang An watched a large group of reporters squeeze each other in front of him, opening and closing their mouths to ask their own questions. In addition, the cheers from the fans outside were so loud that it was almost impossible to hear what they were talking about.

Originally, I finally took a day off today, but I was almost knocked out by them again.

Fortunately, an acquaintance came to rescue the siege at this time, and Zhang Ziming, the director of Bernard's distribution department, led several people to separate the reporters.

"Director Tang is really popular, he stole the limelight from our movie." Zhang Ziming joked.

Li Rengang is definitely not as popular as Tang An, and neither is Hong Jinbao. I am afraid that only Liu Dehua can compare their entire crew.

"Mr. Zhang was joking. They didn't come to the press conference because of me. The crew hasn't arrived yet, so they came to interview me." Tang An waved his hand and smiled wryly.

"Director Tang is humble."

Zhang Ziming looked at the stopped reporter, and gave Tang An a questioning look, "Do you want to go in first, Director Tang?"

"No, I'd better let them interview." Tang An shook his head helplessly.

These reporters have been around for a while, and they can't leave people here without saying a word.

Although in Tang An's position, he could ignore such a small reporter, but he couldn't tell when he would ask for help again. After all, the two parties were in an equal cooperative relationship.

Zhang Ziming nodded and motioned for them to let the reporter over.

Tang An cleared his mind, and said to the reporter, "I'm very glad that everyone can pay attention to my new film, and I hope you can report more on "Now You See Me", so that more fans can know about this film."

Then the reporters asked the questions just now again, and Tang An also began to answer them one by one.

"The two videos on the Internet before are indeed a small plot in the movie, two small magic tricks."

"Are all the actors performing magic tricks in the movie?" The reporter then asked.

"Of course not. In that case, everyone might as well go to a magic show."

Tang An smiled, and continued, "The four magicians are performing magic tricks when they appear on stage. At different times and in different places, they use these four magic tricks to show their identities and personalities."

"Just like Deng Kai, he is a thief and makes a living by it."

It turned out that this is the case, the reporters understood that at the beginning of the movie, the characters should always be introduced to the audience in various ways, and this is expressed through their behavior.

"Then will there be a lot of this kind of magic in the movie? How is it possible to rob a bank two thousand kilometers apart?"

"Since it is a movie about magic, of course there will be a lot of magic."

Tang An nodded, and then said, "But I don't perform for performance, all magic is for the plot, and one thing I can reveal is that this film also has some suspenseful elements."

Suspense?

Hearing this word, the eyes of the reporters instantly lit up.

If you want to say what Tang An is best at, it is undoubtedly suspense.

Looking at his past four films, it can be said that except for "Super Body", all of them are full of suspense.

It can even be said that the suspense elements are played with great proficiency!

The reporters wanted to ask more questions, but Tang An kept silent.

Finally, when asked about the schedule, Tang An also said that he was not sure yet.

"The film has not yet been released, and there is still tedious post-production work. I am not sure when the film will be released, so I can't give you a clear answer on when it will be released this year."

Tang An's answer was within the reporter's expectations. There was "Red Cliff" in this summer's file, and most people didn't think that Tang An would choose to go head-to-head.

If Tang An said that it will not be released in the summer, they should ask if they are afraid of "Red Cliff".

After dismissing the reporters, Tang An and Zhang Ziming walked in side by side.

"Director Tang, is it true that we won't compete for the summer vacation this year?" Zhang Ziming asked curiously.

"It depends on the situation. It may not be certain if there is time." Tang An said casually with a smile.

He knew that many people were looking forward to fighting "Red Cliff" in order to defend his position as the champion of the summer file for three consecutive years.

"That's really a pity. Director Tang has won the summer box office championship for three consecutive years. If he can still beat "Red Cliff" to win the championship this time, it will be four consecutive years, but he is the real summer box office king. "Zhang Ziming said with some regret.

He was just talking about Tang An for the sake of face. After all, it was a super blockbuster movie with an investment of 6 million yuan. Why did the blockbuster movies get together in March and April this year?
Is it because the schedule is good at this time?

Nonsense.

Who doesn't want to release it in the summer and Lunar New Year, and they chose to release it in advance, so they didn't have the idea of ​​​​avoiding "Red Cliff".

Moreover, there are Feng Xiaogang and Tang An in the Lunar New Year holiday, and there is also a brother Chen Kai, so it is not a good time.

Take a look at the blockbuster movies released in March and April, such as "Beauty of the River and Mountain", "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", and "The King of Kung Fu" starring two kung fu superstars.

There are also Fa Ge's "Children of Yellowstone", Hollywood blockbusters "Iron Man" and "National Treasure" and so on.

They all wanted to avoid "Red Cliff", but they all bumped into each other, making it even more lively than previous summer sessions.

No way, "Red Cliff" is not easy to mess with, and Feng Xiaogang and Tang An, who won the box office champion and runner-up last year, are even more difficult to mess with.

The year before last, why did Feng Xiaogang choose to release the film on National Day instead of going to the Lunar New Year file?

Isn't it because of Zhang Yimou's great Buddha, just can't do it, there is no way, helpless.

It was the same when "The Promise" was released in 05, everyone avoided it too.

As for last year, many people were not optimistic about Feng Xiaogang's plan to make a war film, so Berner wanted to be tough, but he was unlucky and ran into a tough one.

"Mr. Zhang is joking. The king of the summer vacation is not always called by the media. He can change one every year." Tang An waved his hand.

Tang An'an was given this name by the tabloids, but no one took it seriously. It's the same as being a celebrity and then becoming a popular niche, or being a popular singer.

The forced things are worthless. After this year's summer vacation is over, the words "King of Summer Vacation" will be equated with Tang An's name, and there is no need for the media to talk about it.
