Zhang Yimou has already edited the finished film of "Three Guns Surprise" at Xinhuaying Film Company located on Anli Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, and has completed the dubbing, soundtrack, subtitles, etc. in the later stage.

In the office of chairman Zhang Weiping, the two were chatting about the promotion and distribution of the movie.

"When will the theaters be invited to try it out? There are more movies for the Lunar New Year this year than in previous years."

Zhang Weiping sighed. In previous years, there were only two blockbuster movies in the Lunar New Year file. Even when Zhang Yimou had a movie to be released, no one dared to fight. They all squeezed into the summer and National Day files.

In 2006, when "Golden Flowers in the City" was scheduled for December, Feng Xiaogang's night banquet mentioned the National Day file, and he would rather compete with "Baby Project" for the National Day file than come to celebrate the New Year.

In the same period of that year, there were only "Mo Gong" and "Scarred City" for the New Year celebration. The former was released 20 days earlier, so there was only one decent opponent left.

In 04, "House of Flying Daggers" was released in the summer vacation, and almost no decent domestic film was released throughout the summer vacation. Feng Xiaogang took "A World Without Thieves" to celebrate the New Year with Zhou Xingchi.

But with Tang An in the summer file this year, and Feng Xiaogang not participating in the New Year's Eve, everyone is aiming at the New Year's Eve file.

In December alone, there are four domestic blockbusters, "Assassination", "Fengyun 12", "Three Guns Surprise", and "October Besieged City". Happy new year.

Zhang Yimou hadn't released a movie for three years, and he was almost forgotten.

"You arrange it."

Zhang Yimou nodded. In the past, there was no need to try his films. The theaters would arrange most of the films for him with their eyes closed until there were not enough copies.

The competition for this year's schedule is too fierce, and those few movies are all threatening, so we should be more cautious.

Following the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower" which earned 2.91 million yuan, Zhang Yimou was ready to break the box office record of "Titanic" in one fell swoop after finishing the Olympics, but Tang An took the lead.

"Then I'll break the record again this time!" Zhang Yimou thought confidently.

After chatting about the publicity for a while, Zhang Weiping said again, "Will you go to Huayi's celebration banquet tonight?"

"Go, of course!"

Nanhu Ecological Scenic Area, Tangshan City, Northern Hebei Province, where the earthquake was filmed in "Tangshan Earthquake".

There is a scene at the beginning of the movie that shows the panorama of people’s lives the day before the earthquake. For this scene, the crew specially built a temporary studio in the Nanhu Ecological Scenic Area, the largest city in the north, the Central Wetland Park.

Now it is being filmed, hawkers setting up stalls, women drying clothes, children chasing and playing, and a strong breath of life rushing towards us.

"Pass!"

Feng Xiaogang shouted in front of the monitor, and then announced the end of today's filming.

"I've worked hard today, everyone should rest early and prepare for shooting tomorrow."

It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, but Feng Xiaogang was going back to the capital to participate in Tang An's celebration. This time Huayi made a big show, and he had to bring a few Huayi artists to rush there.

With a box office of more than 4 million, the box office champion of mainland film history, Tang An once again walked ahead of Feng Xiaogang.

Previously, "Assembly" surpassed "The Wind", and "If You Are the One" surpassed "Now You See Me".

Feng Xiaogang is also confident that "Tangshan Earthquake" can surpass Tang An's "Chinese Partner" again!
Hong Kong, Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Ying Huang Entertainment Group.

Lu Chuan came over with the script in the morning, and met Yang Shoucheng, the chairman of Yinghuang, and a group of high-level executives.

After half a month of running around, he has reached an investment intention with three companies including Beijing Shengtang Times Media, Yunying Tiancheng Film and Television Media, and Huaying, and settled the cost of 5000 million.

After two hours of negotiation, Yinghuang is also willing to pay the remaining 3000 million, and waits for several companies to meet together to sign the contract.

"call!"

Lu Chuan, who walked out of the Yinghuang Building, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Relying on his single-film score of 1.5 million yuan, and it was a blockbuster costume movie, he finally secured all the investment, and then he was about to start looking for actors.

He casually picked up an entertainment newspaper from the newsstand by the side of the road, opened it, and found that a little space in the corner of the second page also reported the record-breaking box office of "Partners in China".

Lu Chuan paid the money and took the newspaper, walked a few steps forward and stuffed it into the trash can.

He made up his mind that "The King's Feast" must be released next summer!
Thailand, Hua Lamphong Railway Station, the station has a high dome, quite a bit of Italian Neo-Renaissance style, decorated with wooden roofs and stained glass windows, it looks a lot like a European train station.

Xu Zheng is filming "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand" here. Today's scene Xu Lang and Wang Bao can only choose to take the train to Chiang Mai because they don't have passports.

During filming, Xu Zheng watched the domestic news on the Internet, and also learned about the record breaking of "Chinese Partner", so he called Tang An to congratulate him, and reported the progress of the filming.

Tao Hong came over and saw him with a tired face, and couldn't help complaining, "We all know that we will be filming a movie in the second half of the year, why did you take on the TV series "Big Hands" before, the time is so fast, and you have to stay up for two months night."

Xu Zheng put on a smiling face and comforted, "Don't worry, I can hold on."

How could he not know, it's just that the crew paid for it, a 30-episode TV series.He was paid 360 million yuan, 12 yuan for a single episode, which is higher than the average salary of first-line stars. Li Youbing and Zhang Guoli are only 15 yuan per episode!

Xu Zheng needed money, he would not be willing to just be a director, if "囧囧 in Thailand" was a hit at the box office, he would be eligible to ask for funding to join the team, as long as the share was reasonable, he believed that Tang An would not refuse.

If you can't afford the money by then, you will miss a great opportunity.

In the capital, Xu Manyun's home.

Tang An, who had returned from publicity in other places, had been resting for three consecutive days, and it was already the end of August.

After three days of rest, I had enough energy and let my mind go empty.

But things are not over yet. In addition to tonight's celebration dinner, there will be an exclusive interview by Xinlang, a speech by Beijing Normal University, a personal special on the movie channel, interviews by three paper media including Nandu, and special reports by two TV stations.
There are a lot of things waiting, which is why more than half of the interviews have been turned down. Otherwise, if there is one in two days, there will be no free time in the next two or three months.

Tang An didn't want to participate in any of them. He no longer needed to use this method to improve his reputation, and the film had already been drawn, so he didn't need to continue to promote it.

It's just that they helped a lot in the publicity before, and they kicked it aside when they don't need it. It's too dishonest. How can we cooperate in the future.

After breakfast today, Xu Manyun did not go to the studio first, and gave Tang An a count of the studio's current assets.

"Currently, the studio still has 400 million yuan in cash on its books. There are a total of 210 two-bedroom apartments of about 80 square meters in Chaoyang District and Haidian District on the third ring road, and the school district houses account for a quarter."

"The average price in Chaoyang District is about 2000 lower than that in Haidian District. At the current price of the second-hand housing market, the value of these 210 houses, plus the continuous rent, excluding intermediary fees, is a total of 3.92 million."

Speaking of this number, Xu Manyun's voice trembled a little.

This is nearly 4 million cash, the kind that can be cashed out at any time.

210 houses may seem like a lot, but they are nothing in the capital city.

Besides, there are rumors everywhere that next year the capital will implement a purchase restriction policy. People who buy and speculate in real estate are going crazy. Every morning when they open their eyes, there is another price.

In the second half of the year, the transaction volume of second-hand housing is getting higher and higher, and a large number of foreign tyrants come to Beijing to buy and buy with huge sums of money.

When the second-hand housing is gone, buy a new real estate. People don't buy a set, they buy directly by floor.

As long as they are sold at the market price, these 210 houses will not be eaten up by those big real estate speculators in three days, and there is no need to worry about inflation.

With nearly [-] million in cash, no other company in the entertainment industry has such a large amount of cash flow except for Hua Yi, who has just gone public and made a large sum of money.

Even Tang An was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, and his heart couldn't help trembling.

Even if Huayi's 3 million shares are not half as important, the 400 million shares will have to be reduced next year, which is of no use to him right now.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass. There are currently 930 monthly passes this month, although it is pitifully small.

The author has not voted for the ball since it was put on the shelves. This time, I hope to make an integer of 1000 tickets to look a little better. I implore everyone who still has tickets to vote for one or two, thank you!
