China Entertainment Times

Chapter 451 Panic! (Second more, ask for completeness! Ask for a monthly pass!)

"And the hilarious comedy movie "Lost in Thailand: Chinatown Detective" directed by Wang Wei, the group president and gold medal producer, and supervised by the group president and gold medal producer Chen Guofu!"

A series of new films came out of Tang An's mouth. Although the opening "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Dragon Hunting Tactics" made the reporters and industry insiders a little curious, there was nothing surprising.

But what the hell is this "Lost in Thailand: Detective Chinatown"?

"I think I heard "Lost in Thailand" just now, and there is a Chinatown or something?"

"It seems to be Detective Chinatown, the title of the movie flashed on the screen just now."

"Could it be the sequel to "Tai囧", I thought it was "Yin囧" or "Horse囧"."

"No, the director's name he just pronounced is not Xu Zheng."

"I don't seem to have heard Xu Zheng's name either. Could it be that someone else took the shot?"

After everyone at the scene reacted, there were bursts of discussions, not less than those about Tang An's new film "The Martian".

The same is true for the audience in front of the computer. If it wasn't for the live broadcast, they would definitely have to drag the progress bar back to watch it again.

After a brief discussion, Tang An finished speaking, and the huge LCD screen in front of him was divided into five parts, displaying five film titles and directors respectively.

Now everyone can see clearly, the big characters "Tai囧: Chinatown Detective" clearly.

Further down, producer: Chen Guofu.

Director: Wang Wei.

Everyone knows Chen Guofu, a famous director and producer, but who is this Wang Wei?

It was too late to discuss, and the impatient reporter immediately squeezed a few steps forward and asked Tang An loudly.

"Tang Dong, what's going on with "Lost in Thailand: Detective Chinatown", is it a sequel to "Lost in Thailand"?"

Tang An was not in a hurry as he watched the reporters furiously under the stage. This was all expected.

After all, the core of the 囧 series is Xu Zheng, whether it is the leading role or the director, it is obviously indispensable.

Take a look at "Modern Times", with the same leading actors, and a lot of laughs, but it doesn't look that good.

"That's right, "Lost in Thailand: Detective Chinatown" is the sequel to "Lost in Thailand", but it will be a brand new story, and it will be a suspenseful comedy."

"Is that no longer Xu Zheng as the director?"

"Who is this Wang Wei?"

"Has there been any changes in the lead role?"

"Did the actor also change?"

As soon as I started, there were more than a dozen mouths asking non-stop.

After finally stabilizing the order, Tang An was not unhappy at all, and still answered their questions one by one.

"Since this is a brand new story with a very different style, both the director and the leading actors will be re-selected."

"Director Wang Wei is an excellent new director. He previously served as an assistant director on the crew of "Painted Skin 2". Director Wu praised him a lot. I think he is qualified for this film."

The director and starring roles have all changed, and he is still a rookie director. Is this still an embarrassing series?

There were more and more comments on Tudou.com, and there were voices of confusion and doubt, and even conspiracy theories.

"Director Tang, may I ask if the cooperation between Hantang Media and Xu Zheng has ended, or has the negotiation between you two collapsed?" A reporter asked a sharp question.

"Of course not. The 囧 series has been filmed twice in a row. No matter how good-looking any film of the same type is, watching too much will cause aesthetic fatigue. So this time it will be a different 囧 series with a different style. Naturally We need to change actors."

"Then why did Director Tang choose a new director?"

"I don't think it's important whether newcomers are new or not. Director Wu and Director Xu didn't have any directing experience before filming "Painted Skin" and "People on the Journey". They also dedicated 90 minutes to the audience."

Tang An dealt with it calmly, then smiled and said, "Didn't I also start as an assistant director, so I can understand those newcomers who are capable but have no chance, I am willing to give them a chance, and I believe they will not It will disappoint me and the audience!"

The interview lasted for a few minutes, and then Tang An handed over the stage to Chen Guofu, who brought Wu Ershan, Yang Wenjun, Wang Wei, and Lu Xing onto the stage.

Everyone started by briefly introducing their films.

In subsequent interviews, most of the firepower was aimed at Wang Wei, who took on the important role for the first time.

Seeing that the new director was so young, he looked about 25 or [-] years old, younger than Tang An, and the voice of doubt became louder.

It's fine that Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng are newcomers, they are so old anyway.

One has filmed commercials, and the other has acted in film and television dramas for so many years.

But what kind of trouble is such a young man going to do? I really thought that like Tang An himself, he could make a movie by himself at the age of 24 or five?

As for the producer Chen Guofu who is in charge of the overall situation, he was automatically ignored by the reporters.

Although most of the reporters guessed that this film must be led by Chen Guofu, how could a new director be more attractive!

The heated press conference lasted until 01:30 in the afternoon. At the end, Chen Guofu also announced the group's new director support plan, looking for capable directors and screenwriters across the country, and collecting good stories and projects.

After the show, Tang An gathered the directors together.

Wu Ershan and Yang Wenjun are not newcomers anymore, Tang An doesn't worry about those two films, but Lu Xing and Wang Wei are both born in the [-]s, younger than Tang An.

Moreover, Tang An encouraged them after being embarrassed by the reporters just now.

Didn't say much, he's not a teacher, if he can't bear this little pressure, then that's it.

Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng have achieved success one after another, and Teng Huatao, who is half a newcomer, is enough to set an example for those who are capable but have no opportunities in the entertainment industry. They are not afraid of lack of talent.

After returning to the company in the afternoon, I continued to write my own notebook, but it didn't take long for the secretary to inform me that Xu Zheng's manager, Liu Ruihao, had come.

"Please come in." Tang An nodded, put down the script in his hand, picked up the report and read it.

Not long after, Liu Ruihao knocked on the door and came in with a smile on his face.

"Hello Tang Dong."

Tang An asked him to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"

"Director Tang, I happened to be watching the news this morning. Are you going to start the next part of the "囧" series?" Liu Ruihao asked tentatively.

Starting from the morning, Xu Zheng didn't miss a minute of the live broadcast of the whole press conference. She never thought that Tang An would start the "囧" series at this time, and even changed the director and starring roles all over again!
Originally, they were a little lucky, thinking that Tang An was just pretending to put some pressure on Xu Zheng.

But in such a formal press conference, with hundreds of reporters and industry insiders present, it was impossible for Tang An to make such a joke.

Now they are all in a panic. It's okay if it fails, but if it succeeds, then this series will be completely insulated from Xu Zheng!
