Chapter 263 Hit [-] million! (The first update! Please be sure!)

Han Sanping left contentedly. He hadn't made a movie for more than 10 years. The help of Huang Jianxin and Tang An in this "Founding of the People's Republic of China" was enough to ensure everything was safe.

Tang An lost a month's vacation, but he could get closer to Han Sanping.

Moreover, "The Founding of a Nation" is also a joint venture with several companies such as Modu Film Group, which is also a good opportunity to make contacts.

Wang Zhongjun didn't suffer any losses either, and he wasn't the one doing the work.

Tang An looked around and asked, "By the way, why didn't Director Wu come? Didn't Director Wang invite you?"

It's not that they are so small, they were invited to the celebration banquet.

Wang Zhongjun laughed and said, "He said he is busy recently and has no time to come."

The feeling is that Wu Bo has a small mind, and he doesn't want to be deflated in front of Wang Zhongjun.

Tang An shook his head and said with a smile, "Then next time, we must invite Director Wu to the [-] million celebration banquet, otherwise people will think we are stingy."

"That's right, next time I'll invite you in person." Wang Zhongjun had a smile on his face as he took a sip of the wine in his glass.

"By the way, when are the few movies Mr. Tang invested in recently going to be released, do you need my help to release them?"

""Painted Skin" was released on the National Day file. When I first invested, I agreed to give it to Bernard Yu Dong. "Spike" was released on the Lunar New Year file. "Do Not Disturb" and "You Long Xi Feng" will be released, I will not cause trouble for the company, and it happens that there are no films for Dong He's New Year this year, so let him help you." Tang An smiled and said.

"Where Mr. Tang talks, he is his own person. If there is anything troublesome, if you have any difficulties, just come to me at any time." Wang Zhongjun waved his hand.

If Tang An really wanted Huayi to release it, it would be difficult for him. If the box office was too high, he didn't want to see it, but if it was too low, he was afraid that Tang An would suspect that he didn't try his best, which would create a estrangement.

After chatting with Wang Zhongjun, Tang An walked aside, Wu Ershan was chatting with Xu Manyun.

"What are you talking about?"

Wu Ershan said quickly, "Mr. Tang, I'm discussing with Mr. Xu about the investment in "Smile in Swords."

Xu Manyun nodded.

"Last time, Director Wu said that he wanted an investment of 700 million yuan. The funds will be in place as soon as "Painted Skin" is released." Tang An said with a smile.

In the past, the 700 million begging grandpa and grandma couldn’t get it, but now Wu Ershan didn’t have the expected surprise.

Tang An frowned, "Why, is Director Wu dissatisfied?"

"No, it's just that I want to cast Chen Kun and Zou Xun as the leading actors, and 700 million may not be enough." Wu Ershan said quickly.

The heroine he was originally looking for was Zhang Yuqi, the heroine of "Yangtze River No. [-]" and the upcoming "Women Are Not Bad".

The leading actor is a Japanese actor who has starred in "Battle Royale". For this reason, he went to the crew of "Mei Lanfang" to watch his performance live.

However, after filming "Painted Skin", the fans and reporters who came to visit the set every day made him realize that he is just a rookie director, and if the male and female protagonists are not well-known, they are almost doomed to fail.

"Mr. Tang, Chen Kun is very suitable for the mute personality. He is handsome, melancholy, stubborn, and introverted. He is closed in his own world. His sense of mystery fits the character perfectly."

"What about Zou Xun? Does she fit in?" Tang An interrupted him.

"Do you still remember how you wrote the script? Because of being arrogant and charming, because of being cold and beautiful, a generation of oirans who fascinate all living beings, does Zou Xun also fit in?"

"Director Tang, Zou Xun is a little different, but I can make some changes. Her role in "Painted Skin" is very good."

"It's a gap in appearance, and unless you change the style of the movie, it doesn't coordinate well."

Wu Ershan wanted to explain, but Tang An went on to say, "Of course, I'm just offering my opinion. I won't interfere with this project. From preparation to editing, Director Wu is in charge of you. As long as you can convince the two of them , and I will not object."

"Director Wu can make up his own mind, and try to negotiate before the release of "Painted Skin". When the box office explodes, the salary will increase."

"You really asked him to find Chen Kun and Zou Xun to play? In this case, the cost will be increased by at least 500 million!"

"It's his ability to find him. Zou Xun still has three movies released this year. Tomorrow, he will take on two big costume movie heroines. The schedule is already tight, not to mention this low-budget movie with an investment of 1000 million."

"Then what if he's using your name?"

"He will not."

"why?"

"Because I am not only Huayi's artistic director, I am also a director, and he is also a director."

"You'll let him do it himself for "Swordsman", but it must be completed within a year. I will leave the capital in the afternoon. "Now You See Me" still has more than 4000 million publicity fees left. You must supervise it well."

"Don't worry, as long as you are still in Huayi, they won't dare to do anything."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Tang An led the crew out of the hotel and went straight to the airport, heading south for a half-month road show.

I have been around the capital, starting directly from Jiangning Province.

Nanjing, who arrived in the afternoon, didn't bother to take a rest, so he acted directly.

Lukou International Airport is far away from the city center, and it takes several hours to take a bus.

The first stop is the China Film International Studios near the Nanjing International Expo Center, followed by the happy blue sea of ​​the central shopping mall, and finally at Xinjiekou, the most prosperous commercial center in Nanjing.

After leaving Nanjing, go south to Suzhou, then turn right to Shanghai.

I stayed in Shanghai for an extra day. After all, it is an international metropolis, and the box office sales are also among the best in all provinces and cities in the country.

In addition to the road show in Shanghai, an interview program was also recorded.

In one week, I ran to 7 cities, Hefei, Jiangcheng, Chongqing, and Shudu.

From east to west, it spans more than half of Huaguo.

The box office of "Now Now You See Me" in the third week also came out. After Monday's 800 million, it got 5200 million, and won a total of 6000 million box office in seven days.

It was released for 18 days, with a total box office of 2.56 million!
And "Red Cliff" got 2900 million in the fourth week, and the total box office came to 2.68 million.

The difference between the two is only 1000 million!

The costume comedy film "Perfect" released on August 8 earned 1 million box office in three days over the weekend, less than half of any of the films.

"Red Cliff" is 3000 million short of breaking 3 million, and "Now You See Me" is still 4000 million short. There is a debate about which of the two films can break the [-] million mark first, and whether "Now You See Me" will be released in the next two weeks. Breaking [-] million, can be seen everywhere.

By August 8th, after the last week of high-intensity publicity, Huayi's publicity was obviously relaxed.

However, relying on the early bombing and high audience reputation, it still won 400 million box office on Monday.

"Red Cliff" is still tenacious, relying on the model of big director + big star + big production can still attract audiences to buy tickets.

200 million, "Red Cliff" won 200 million at the box office on Monday, and still has the hope of breaking [-] million.

Yesterday was the fourth update, yes, there is a chapter of 4000 words ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
