China Entertainment Times

Chapter 443 Take down Tudou! (The first update asks for completeness! Ask for a monthly pass!)
On the night of Wednesday, January 1th, CCTV had just finished broadcasting the weather forecast.

At 7:40, the focus interview will be broadcast immediately.

Speak with facts, focus interview!

These words are very familiar to ordinary people, and the news that is closely related to ordinary people is reported every day, and the ratings have always been very good.

The previous issues reported a series of news about grassroots medical reform, fake eggs, fake wine, poverty-stricken counties using office land to build dozens of luxury villas for leaders, and so on. It is indeed a director and a movie that appeared on TV today.

The host first introduced the status of my country's film market in recent years and the comparison with other markets around the world.

Then we talked about the movie "Edge of Tomorrow", a series of records, including the hits in the global film market.

The scene turned to a modern office, where Tang An was sitting on a chair, facing the camera for an interview.

"The domestic film market is still developing. Since the beginning of the new century, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the past ten years. Up to now, going to the cinema to watch movies has become an entertainment project that has penetrated into people's lives."

"In fact, our domestic filmmakers and audiences should not underestimate themselves. In just over ten years since film commercialization, it has become the fifth largest film market in the world. In the past year, the total domestic box office sales have exceeded 120 billion. I believe next year my country will surpass Japan, India and other countries to become the world's second largest film market."

On the TV, Tang An's voice was calm and firm, and there was a strong confidence in his eyes.

Some viewers outside the TV who did not pay attention to the movie also put down the remote control at this time and did not change the channel.

Now is the prime time of the evening, and it is approaching the summer vacation. All major TV stations are broadcasting high-quality TV dramas. Most of the people who can watch this kind of news related to people's livelihood instead of watching TV dramas at this time are elderly people.

In an old-fashioned ordinary residential area on the 2nd ring road of Beijing, focus interviews are also broadcast on TV.

The grandfather of the head of the family looked at Tang An who was talking on TV and smiled, "This young man is interesting. To catch up with Europe and the United States, this kind of energy is what is needed."

"Grandpa, you don't know, he has more than 2 million US dollars at the box office of a movie." The child next to him who was staring at his mobile phone replied casually.

"It seems that a war scene was played just now. What movie is it at this time?"

"A sci-fi movie about fighting aliens, grandpa, I'll take you to the cinema to watch it tomorrow."

"Don't go, don't go, I was dizzy when I saw that Da Da last year with glasses on."

The host on TV is still interviewing.

"Director Tang, what type of movie do you think is more suitable for overseas screening?"

"This should not be related to the genre. First of all, we must face overseas audiences and let them watch movies without barriers, and figure out what foreign audiences want to see."

"Can you give me an example?"

"For example, action movies and costume movies, these are the genres that sold better overseas in the past, but there are also differences."

"Brother Cheng Long and Brother Li Lianjie have different styles. One is kung fu comedy and has a lot of life-threatening stunts. The latter interprets the spirit of traditional martial arts best. Spectacular."

"For another example, the "Ip Man" series is very popular in Southeast Asia, because audiences in Southeast Asia have a higher acceptance of Chinese culture, while most audiences in Europe and the United States cannot understand movies, Ip Man's approach and the background of the times. , just want to see "good-looking" action."

Tang An was not modest at all, and analyzed all major genres of costume, comedy, horror and suspense.

If this was an ordinary director who dared to brag like he was giving advice, he would have been named and scolded long ago.

Tang An was also watching TV at this time, watching himself bragging.

But he is qualified to brag like that, just like Ma Ge and Lao Wang.

He also knew that there would definitely be people who would find him unhappy, that's for sure, but he wouldn't bother.

If there is someone who hates him and wastes time talking about it, that would be a loss of points.

Unless it is close to the top first-line directors, otherwise there are millions of minutes, why bother with them.

There is also the public relations department, which has a large number of movie fans.

Those dumb movie critics are biting people for money and fame, and they really want to talk to them.

If a dog barks at you, do you still yell at it?

The next day, many media reported on Tang An and the "Focus Interview" on "Edge of Tomorrow".

But the bigger news is that yesterday's "Edge of Tomorrow" grossed over 10 billion in mainland China, suppressing all voices in the entertainment industry.

Although it has been known for a long time that breaking 10 billion is inevitable, when this moment really comes, many film and television companies, media, and audiences still feel a little unbelievable.

From 4 million to 7 million to 10 billion, the span of these three records is too fast, and it only took two years.

In the office of Berna Films, Yu Dong heaved a long sigh.

The three documentaries were either directed by Tang An or invested by him. Last year, the total box office of the four Han and Tang movies reached 25 billion, which is really scary.

Yu Dong put away the joy after the successful IPO, and now new pressure came again. For more than a year, while he and Guangxian were busy with the IPO, Hantang rose, and the speed was much faster than he thought.

Guangxian came across the industry and became a giant in the film and television industry in just two years, but the other party has the strongest publicity channel in the country, while Hantang only has Tang An.

Yu Dong knew that it would be impossible for them to cooperate like last year from now on. Berna and Guangxian have raised nearly one billion yuan in financing after going public. This money must increase investment in film and television production. Competition will be more intense.

Tang An has expanded the publicity and distribution channels over the past year, and he will not distribute the movie to them.

Competition is competition, and those who can cooperate should try their best to cooperate, after all, they can't be suppressed anymore.

A few days ago, Tang An asked him for a role in "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", a supporting actress who didn't have many roles in the show. After discussing with Xu Ke, he agreed.

Yu Dong smiled wryly, looking at the series of numbers on the document in front of him, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong not to "block" Tang An with Hua Yi.

In 2010, the total box office of the mainland film market was 120 billion, and the box office of domestic films was nearly 80 billion, twice that of imported films.

The box office of Hantang movies alone is as high as 25 billion, accounting for 20% of the national movie market and 31% of domestic movie box office. This market share has surpassed Bernard and Huayi at their peak.

There is also the ambitious Wanda, which has taken Wu Yusen and Ning Hao under its pony, and more and more people are eating this piece of meat in the film industry.

Tang An didn't care about any comments from the outside world. On this day, he took the group president Chen Guofu, financial director Wang Wei, and half of the legal department. A team of more than 20 people flew to Singapore by plane, with the purpose of taking down Tudou.com. Biggest share!
