Chapter 272 Where Does the Confidence Come From?

As September slowly passed, Tang An was still preparing his own script.

During the period, Wang Zhongjun helped Tang An get to know the three founders of New Oriental, and obtained the consent of the other three.

Anyway, it is also a movie based on others, no matter what, at least we must win the consent of others.

But I told them not to reveal it, now that "Painted Skin" is about to be released, don't let your new film steal the limelight, it will be troublesome, and you will be the one to lose.

In the following time, Tang An continued to write the script, first wrote the first draft, and then made adjustments after the actors were settled.

When I was in Huayi, people kept trying to get in touch with me, and they all wanted a role or something.

Annoying.

It's actually not good for a film and television production company to be an artist agent. Sometimes the boss is a little stupid and gives the role to his subordinates regardless of whether it is suitable or not.

TV dramas are okay, as long as they are well-known, find a reliable book, find a few old drama actors to act in, convince Huadao and the set with a conscience, and then sell it to a TV station with decent ratings, basically the first few in the same period The ratings are gone.

But the movie can't do this. It's only 90 minutes in total, and every detail must be done well.

One or two supporting roles may not have much impact. If most of the characters close their eyes and stuff their own people according to their fame and the company's importance, it will be strange if they can be shot well.

Without exception, Tang An refused all the people who came, and told them to go to Wang Zhongjun.

In addition to the script, pay attention to the promotion of "Painted Skin" from time to time.

As the only blockbuster film on National Day, Chen Kun, Zhao Wei, Zou Xun, Yang Mi, and Zhao Wenzhuo are also popular, and "Painted Skin" is still very popular.

In addition, Berner deliberately publicized that the two heroines were at odds. It first broke out that they kicked stools at each other on the set, and then quarreled on the set.

Colleagues are enemies, not to mention that they are both four major actresses, fans of both parties are just a matter of one point.

First, Zou Xun's fans changed the information on "Painted Skin" on Baidu, Sogou, Weiji and other encyclopedias, and removed Zhao Wei's name.

Then the scolding battle started. Everywhere they went, the fans of both sides would boo each other wildly, and even cursed at each other.

However, the situation was controlled within an acceptable range, and no major disturbances occurred.

Of course, his name was also mentioned during the promotion, and his name on the poster was bigger than everyone else's font.

On July 7, the National Day file officially started with the release of "Keep Calling".

Although the popularity and capacity of the National Day file is only half of that of the summer file and the Lunar New Year file, it is still a big time in the movie market.

"Keep Calling" is adapted from the Hollywood movie "The First Line of Life" a few years ago, starring Gu Tianle, Zhang Jiahui, Liu Ye, and Xu Xiyuan. It is a good police action movie.

But in this era, there is no market for police and gangster films, and they only received 300 million box office on the first day.

At around 5 p.m., the world premiere of "Painted Skin" was held at Berna International Cinema on Puhuangyu Road in Beijing.

It was also rare for Tang An to come out of the office today and go outside.

Meet up with the crew and say hello.

Looking at the huge poster on the outer wall of the theater, the four bold words "produced by Tang An" are particularly obvious.

"Director Wu, I have troubled you with the publicity during this period."

"Mr. Tang is too polite."

The crew was happy and happy, and there was no disharmony at all.

Hype is a very normal thing. Some people hype it when movies and TV series are about to be released, and some people do it 365 days a year, wishing to stay on the trending search every day.

The former is normal, Tang An himself has to work hard to promote it, no one is an exception.

But the hype every day is a bit too much, either scolding this or being dissed by others.

Think about it, half of the year is spent on hot searches, do those people who fight with him really have grudges?
Most of them are just mutual speculation. If you want popularity, I will also be famous. Everyone gets what they want, and it is common for people to scold themselves.

This is all pediatrics.

Tang An led the crew onto the red carpet, and as soon as he stepped on it, there was a burst of cheers.

Smiling and waving all the way, he walked forward, occasionally stopping to sign and take a photo.

"Tang An! Tang An!"

"Thank you for your support!"

After signing a name, say a word.

Walking all the way in, the cheers caused by the others behind him were no less than his.

Especially Zhao Zhaowei, who is definitely the most popular among these people.

After getting off the red carpet and entering the interview area, all the reporters immediately surrounded him.

"Director Tang, did you shoot "Painted Skin"?"

A reporter asked a silly question, didn't Wu Ershan be written in the director column, why did he film it.

But Tang An still answered with a smile.

"It was filmed by director Wu Ershan, and I'm just the producer."

"Then have you participated in the filming of the movie?"

"No, I just visited the set occasionally to supervise the on-site shooting, and I didn't interfere too much."

After dealing with the reporters, he entered the screening room.

"Director Wu, don't worry about other things during this time, first do a good job in the promotion of "Painted Skin", and the crew of "Swordsman" will make preparations after the painting is finished."

Chen Kun, the leading actor in "A Smile in the Sword", has already reached an agreement. After all, he is also the number one actor in the movie, so there is no reason not to agree.

However, Zou Xun declined because of the schedule, and could only use Zhang Yuqi according to the original idea.

Wu Ershan said immediately, "Mr. Tang, don't worry, I will definitely focus on "Painted Skin"."

It doesn't take Tang An to say that he also understands that "Painted Skin", as the first film he directed, is still a big production with an investment of more than 6000 million, and there must be no mistakes.

It's not even certain that Tang An will give up the investment in "Smile in the Sword" at that time, but he has no doubts about the integrity of filmmakers.

Tang An asked again, "Chen Kun hasn't signed the contract yet, has he?"

"I didn't even sign it. I want to talk about it after finishing "Painted Skin"."

Tang An shook his head, "The others don't care, Chen Kun's contract is signed first."

"Mr. Tang, are you so sure that "Painted Skin" will be a hit?" Wu Ershan couldn't help asking.

Tang An had told Wu Ershan twice before that once "Painted Skin" became a big hit, Chen Kun's salary would definitely increase, so the contract must be finalized first.

"Director Wu, if you don't even have confidence, why would the audience be willing to spend money to enter the cinema?"

After Tang An left a word, he came to Yu Dong's side again.

"Yu Dong, the publicity during this time is up to you."

"President Tang, you're being polite. I also have an investment here, and I should do it." Yu Dong waved his hand.

"It will be fully screened in the early hours of the morning. As soon as the box office comes out, Yu Dong will have to increase the copy immediately. If you miss the holiday, you will lose a lot."

"Mr. Tang is still so sure, 1500 million is not a small number."

Yu Dong didn't know where Tang An's confidence came from. He still didn't believe in 1500 million.

Not to mention 500 million, if it is 400 on the first day, he can immediately add [-] copies and put it on.
