Chapter 287 Don't You Know That Hitting People Doesn't Slap People in the Face?
December passed quickly, and several important movies in the Lunar New Year file were basically released.

"Mei Lanfang" has a good reputation, much better than "The Promise", and Brother Chen Kai has nothing to say about his appeal.

However, biographical films are destined not to sell high box office.

It was released for more than 20 days, with a box office of 9800 million, and the final landing point is estimated to be in the early [-] million.

"Spike Fang" directed by Wu Jing was released on the 11th. Tang An didn't rush back to attend the premiere, but he still called back.

With Bernard's release this time, the box office was a little better than before, with 80 yuan on the first day and 300 million yuan in four days on the first weekend.

In the past 20 days since its release, it has received 600 million box office.

It is estimated that the mainland can finally get about 800 films, plus Xiangjiang's 250 million box office, it can almost recover the production and promotion costs of 350 million.

The cost is 350 million, Wu Jing paid 100 million, Tang An paid 250 million, and Wu Jing gave up the remuneration of the director and actors in order to successfully attract investment. TV movie.

Such a small salary in exchange for a self-directed and self-acted experience is actually worth it to him, at least those experiences are not comparable to one or two million.

However, Tang An didn't take advantage of him, and gave him 35% of the share. After all, he was the one who started the crew, and he was busy with the road show before and after.

Moreover, under Bernard's operation, the Southeast Asian copyright was sold to Star Films at a price of 150 million yuan.

"Painted Skin" won nearly 500 million US dollars in the Southeast Asian box office under the full release of Xingyu, making a small profit.

The mainland TV copyright was approached by Lin Sheng and sold to the movie channel, which was also worth a small 100 million.

With a profit of nearly 250 million, Tang An earned 163 million, and Wu Jing earned 87.

The film "Women Are Not Bad" directed by Xu Ke and starring Zou Xun will be released at the same time, and it will also be released by Bernard, so there is no need to worry about the schedule for such a low-budget film.

It did better than "Spike Fang", which took 20 million box office in less than 2200 days.

"Ip Man" was released on the 16th. This movie suppressed the limelight of "Mei Lanfang" and won a high box office of 3000 million in the first weekend as a modern action movie.

Moreover, the film has a very high reputation. It has received 7500 million box office in the first month of its release, and has a great hope of breaking through [-] million.

Yu Dong regretted it to death. This film was invested by Dongfang Films. This time, he was so lucky that he released it himself like Seven Swords, and refused to hand over the distribution rights to Berner.

Berner lost another [-] million-level movie in vain.

Mak Chao Fai and Zhuang Wenqiang's gangster film "The Big Search" was released in 5 days and grossed 800 million at the box office.

Even if some comedy elements are added to the gangster movies, the decline of the gangster movies has been unstoppable.

On the 18th, the movie "If You Are the One", the most important Chinese New Year movie, was released. It took 1500 million box office on the first day, 2350 million on Christmas Eve, and 8000 million in four days in the first weekend, second only to Three films: "Red Cliff", "Now You See Me" and "Curse of the Golden Armor".

In the second week, the momentum of "If You Are the One" continued unabated, and once again won 9000 million at the box office, and 11 million in 1.7 days of release, which is second only to the two blockbusters in the summer.

In addition to love and marriage, Feng Xiaogang paid attention to many social hot topics in several passages about marriage - leftover men, mistresses, financial crisis, earthquake, war, and even "homosexuality", etc., making the whole film close to life.

And the plot is hilarious, with an average hilarious scene every 5 minutes reflecting Feng Xiaogang's skill in controlling comedy themes, among which Qin Fen's 6 marriage experiences have the strongest comedy effect.

"If You Are the One" is not like "Red Cliff" and "Now You See Me". There are basically no decent opponents in the entire Lunar New Year file. "Under the Red Cliff" will be released in 10 days. The schedule advantage is too great. Tang An's Chinese film history records.

Even the production crew filming in Tianjing was not uncommonly harassed by reporters. It was so close to the capital, they could travel several times a day.

"Director Feng is a great director. He always knows what the audience wants to see and presents what the audience likes to the public."

Halfway through filming today, more than 20 reporters rushed to the set to interview.

The opening line was, ""If You Are the One" is about to break the box office record for Chinese-language movies set by "Now You See Me", what do you think?"

Or ""Assembly" overtakes "The Wind", "If You Are the One" overtakes "Now You See Me", and has been crushed for two consecutive years. What do you want to say?"

Another thing is to ask Tang An to comment on Feng Xiaogang and "If You Are the One".

How do I feel?
I have a sentence MMP, do you want to listen?
Lao Zhi was exhausted filming, you guys are here to make trouble!

Tang An was upset, the actors were happy, a reporter came to visit the set, and immediately went to touch up their makeup.

However, the reporter just asked them about the progress and plot of the filming, and they all surrounded Tang An.

"Director Tang, the Chinese film box office record you keep is about to be broken. Are you sure you can get it back next year?"

Tang An took a step back, barely avoiding the microphone that was about to be stuffed into his mouth.

"Records are meant to be broken. This means that our domestic film market is getting better and better. In the future, there will be films with a box office of 30 million, [-] million, [-] billion, or even [-] billion."

30 million?
The reporter who asked the question opened his mouth wide, and the word "surprised" was clearly written on his face.

I'm a darling!
This Tang An is really talking nonsense, talking about 30 billion, which is 10 times the current box office record.

30 billion, converted into US dollars, it is more than 4 million US dollars.

No.10 on the global box office list this year is only 4.1 million US dollars in global box office.

Facing the disbelieving gazes of these people, Tang An curled his lips inwardly. When the box office of a single movie exceeds 50 billion, he might scare you to death.

"Director Tang, do you mean that there will be a movie with a box office of 30 billion in the future?" A young man asked weakly, wondering if his ears had heard it wrong.

"Of course, society is improving. Ten years ago, who would have thought that a movie could earn 3 million at the box office today." Tang An said confidently.

"Didn't "Titanic" take 3.6 ​​million ten years ago?"

I don't know who said this in the crowd.

cough cough cough.
I was slapped in the face!

Tang An almost choked, feeling ashamed for a while.

Don't you know that you don't hit someone in the face?
Didn't your mother teach you that?
Kindergarten teacher did not teach you?

The reporters also looked at Tang An with expressions of looking at what you said.

Tang An calmed down, without any embarrassment, and calmly pointed at the surrounding red brick buildings.

"The world is changing every day and changing with each passing day. Let's look at the buildings around you and the skyscrapers in the distance. Think about your basic necessities of life ten years ago, and think about the present."

Tang An had a lot to say in that talk, from big cities like Beijing and Tianjing to small third-tier counties, then to the United States, Africa, and to satellites in outer space, all nonsense.

The surrounding Wang Xiaoming and Deng Chao were still dressed up in the movie, watching the movie with their arms folded.

Deng Chaochong smiled at Wang Xiaoming, "You have to learn from Mr. Tang, see how good he is at talking. Do you have to be like this when you give lectures?"

Wang Xiaoming pouted, "Then why don't you learn."

"Meng Xiaojun has public speaking phobia, I don't need to learn it." Deng Chao said naturally.

"Director Tang is not only quick to scold people, he is also very good at fooling people!" Lu Yi sighed.
