Chapter 252 The summer file begins (please subscribe for the first update!)
The power of money is infinite, if you sprinkle a lot of banknotes, the effect will be immediate.

The media, audience, and insiders were all discussing "Now You See Me", but the popularity of the super blockbuster "Red Cliff" with an investment of 6 million yuan has gradually dropped.

Han Sanping and Wu Bo discussed it. It is impossible to add more money. At most, they can add up to 3000 million integers. There are so many countries in Southeast Asia, and they have to invest a lot of publicity expenses for overseas box office.

However, they changed their strategy. They can't fight now anyway, so it's better to slow down the promotional offensive and focus on the week before the release to ensure the box office in the early stage.

"Red Cliff" voluntarily retreated, almost allowing "Now You See Me" to completely occupy all publicity channels.

The media frantically chased the crew and followed them wherever they went. The momentum was more spectacular than any star's trip.

As the chairman of Huayi, Wang Zhongjun was inevitably blocked by reporters.

When asked why he challenged "Red Cliff", he was full of confidence.

"We have never challenged anyone. Director Tang has been the summer box office champion for three consecutive years. We don't need to challenge anyone. Strictly speaking, we are the champions and the challenged party!"

The reporter also thought about it. Every year, Tang An is released in the summer, and everyone is used to it.

This year, "Red Cliff" was filmed early, and "Now You See Me" announced that it would be released in the summer before the project was approved, which gave everyone a false impression.

"Does Director Wang have the confidence to win the summer box office championship again?" The reporter asked again.

"Of course, there is no doubt about it. We have watched Director Tang's films, and they are definitely not worse than any of his previous films. They are even the strongest in terms of visual effects. We, Hua Yi, will do our best to help Mr. Tang. Achieve four consecutive summer championships, and there will be more consecutive championships in the future.”

Wang Zhongjun spoke proudly in front of the reporter, as if pointing the country.

In a hotel in the capital, Tang An came to participate in the launch conference of "People on the Journey", and he also took the lead and stole Xu Zheng's limelight.

"The release of the summer file is a temporary decision, because this film, including the preparation time and shooting time, is longer than before, and it is a new subject, and I am not sure that it will catch up with the summer file."

"Since time is tight, why not release it during the Lunar New Year festival?"

"Actually, I also thought about not putting too much pressure on myself. After all, long-term high-intensity work is also a huge damage to the body."

Then Tang An said sincerely, "But in the past three years, I have brought movies to meet fans on time, and I have never been absent. I don't want to be late this year, and I don't want to make the fans who have been waiting for another half a year!"

If there was no "Red Cliff", maybe Tang An would really be released in the Lunar New Year file.

After all, the Lunar New Year file during this period is the biggest schedule in the domestic market, and the movie "Now You See Me" is also very suitable for the Lunar New Year file.

But as soon as Wu Baige came, Tang An would leave, so wouldn't he be afraid of him!
For more than half an hour, the main creators such as Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang were left aside in the cold, and no one cared about them at all.

Although it's a little embarrassing, but the reality is like this, whoever is not famous will kill you.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Tang An changed the topic back to "People on Journey".

"Everyone, today is the opening day of the movie "People on the Journey" produced by our studio, and please help us to promote it."

The reporters stopped entanglement, you give me face, I will give you face, respect each other.

If you don't care about Tang An today, you can still ignore you in the next interview.

"Director Tang, this time you have invested in the comedy film "On the Journey". Will you try comedy films in the future?"

"It's possible. After all, comedies are the movies that make the audience laugh the most. Isn't our director's responsibility to make the audience happy?"

"Some netizens speculate that Director Tang is going to shoot all genres, is that true?"

"I will definitely keep trying new genres, and I will dabble in one or two of each genre."

The topic turned to himself again, Tang An had no choice but to turn to Xu Zheng.

"Actually, Director Xu is very talented in comedy. I believe this movie will bring more laughter to the audience."

Poor Xu Zheng, being a director for the first time, can finally speak.

"I am very grateful to Director Tang for giving me this opportunity. It is a great trust in me to choose me, who has no directing experience."

The press conference is over, and it's time for the crew to set off for the set to shoot.

"Director Xu, I will leave the crew to you. Lao Zhao and Lao Wang are professional producers. I can rest assured that they will be responsible for the logistics. I will wait for your triumphant return in the capital, and I will celebrate for you when the time comes!"

"Director Tang, don't worry, I will do my best to make this movie well!"

"Of course I believe this. I will give you the greatest right to the crew, and they will not interfere with your filming."

Hearing this, Xu Zheng felt relieved. A producer and a production director are both Tang An's direct descendants. If the time comes to dictate the filming, he really doesn't know what to do.

After sending the crew to the bus, Tang An was about to continue promoting "You Now You See Me".

June is gradually passing, and with the arrival of July, major colleges and middle schools have begun to have holidays, and the summer vacation is about to kick off.

This year's first movie is "Jingwumen" starring Fan Binbin and Chen Xiaochun, and the future nine-ball queen Pan Xiaoting will also make a cameo appearance.

However, there has never been a market for this kind of musicals in the mainland, not to mention that Fan Binbin has never had much popularity and does not have much box office appeal.

Not surprisingly, the first day was 140 million, and it broke through 10 million within 1000 days of its release.

The action-comedy film Hancock, starring Will Smith and South African diamond Charlize Theron, was released simultaneously in North America. It was not affected by piracy, and the box office was not bad.

700 million on the first day, and nearly 5 million in the first five days of the weekend, which is considered a very good result.

However, as the release of "Red Cliff" approached, China Film and Chengtian began to increase their efforts in publicity, using almost all available resources with both hands, and there were basically no traces of other films.

On the evening of July 7th, "Red Cliff", which has been in preparation for several years, will hold a grand premiere ceremony at Wuhou Temple in Shudu.

The preparations are quite in place, the premiere ceremony is held at Wuhou Temple, why not just go to Chibi.

There is no way, nearly half of the big names in the entertainment industry packed up and rushed to Shudu to participate in the premiere of this Chinese film with the largest investment.

Of course Tang An is going too, so I still have to give him some face.

At 6:[-] p.m., we came to the most influential Three Kingdoms Relics Museum in the country, and it is also the first batch of first-class museums in the country.

Tang An came late. Other celebrities needed to put on makeup two hours in advance. When he arrived, he straightened his clothes and stepped on the red carpet.
