Chapter 462 Impossible, how can it be so unlucky! (The third update! Please subscribe!)

"Tang An made another move, joining Lehua Entertainment to invest in the love movie "Predecessor Raiders"!"

"It's a newcomer's new work, can "Predecessor Raiders" create another box office myth?"

"Tang An once again supports new directors, can Tian Yusheng reach the heights of Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, and Teng Huatao?"

"It was revealed that Tian Yusheng, the director of "Predecessor Raiders", was once the screenwriter of "On the Journey."

"Han Geng's third "electric shock", can he successfully transform to the big screen?"

"Hantang Media fights Singles' Day again, can it replicate the box office myth of "33 Days of Broken Relationship"?"

"Hantang Media wants to compete with Huayi, "Predecessor Raiders" VS "Waiting for the Wind", who can dominate Singles' Day?"

After the opening press conference, many media reported the movie "Predecessor Raiders".

First, this is a movie invested by Hantang Media. In the past, none of the movies produced by Hantang Media have been sold, and all of them have been sold well.

Second, Tian Yusheng is a newcomer director. When Wu Ershan made "Painted Skin", Xu Zheng made "People on the Journey", and Teng Huatao made "33 Days of Broken Love", they were all newcomers.

They all wanted to see if Tian Yusheng could be like the three of them. The first movie was a big hit, and some media even directly lifted Tian Yusheng to the same height as the three of them.

Third, in the past, there were basically no movies released on Double Eleven Singles’ Day. Even last year’s “33 Days of Broken Relationship” was a big hit, it was full of chance.

Apart from "Waiting for the Wind" on Singles' Day this year, there are only a few low-budget romantic films ready to try their luck.

Now there is an additional "Predecessor Raiders", and the November schedule has become a duel between Hantang Media and Huayi.

Another one, Han Geng's reputation in China is not low now, and he even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala this year.

Therefore, under the media's spontaneous publicity, "Predecessor Raiders" became popular before it was filmed.

Although it was only a small hit, it is very rare for a small-budget movie to get such a big attention.

Moreover, there are quite a few fans of Han Geng, who also contributed to the promotion of the movie.

A movie that came out of nowhere caused a little bit of a stir in this peaceful May, but the major companies didn't respond, and they didn't have any movies released in November.

However, Wang Zhongjun, the leader of the domestic film and television industry and the helm of Huayi Brothers, is feeling a little frustrated at this time.

In the office, Wang Zhongjun put his teacup heavily on the table.

"What does Tang An mean? He is going to confront me, right?"

Now Tang An has arranged another movie of the same type to compete in Double Eleven and "Waiting for the Wind", which is clearly aimed at Hua Yi.

Recall that "If You Are the One 2" failed under the attack of "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Let the Bullets Fly", it will get 4 million box office, which is only 4000 million higher than the first one.

After "Lost in Thailand" and "Tangshan Earthquake" successively earned [-] to [-] million box office, as a sequel to a blockbuster movie, it is still directed by Feng Xiaogang. This data can be said to be an absolute failure.

Having suffered losses at the hands of Tang An twice, Wang Zhongjun really became more and more angry, even if he was suppressed by Bernard for several years in a row, he was not so angry.

Wang Zhonglei, who was standing next to him, also smiled wryly, "Brother, he only announced this movie at this time, and he made it clear that it was intentional. This year's "Waiting for the Wind" may have a lot of resistance."

Wang Zhongjun snorted coldly, "Whether he did it on purpose or not, I met him in November this year. I don't believe that every movie he chooses can be a big hit!"

After last year's fierce box office competition, coupled with the shift of focus to the live-action film industry, this year Huayi invested and released only three films.

In addition to "Waiting for the Wind", there are only "Snowflake and Secret Fan" in cooperation with Fox Searchlight, and the magical movie "Happy Magic".

Huayi has enough resources to focus on these three films this year, and there is no conflict between their schedules.

Wang Zhongjun didn't believe it anymore. He devoted all of Huayi's resources to support "Waiting for the Wind", but he couldn't do a new movie directed by a newcomer!
But Wang Zhonglei worried, "Brother, Tang An's vision has always been very accurate, this time this "Predecessor Raiders" is probably not easy."

It's no wonder that Wang Zhonglei is worried. Even if Teng Huatao has made a movie with a box office of 3.5 million, he is still not so confident in "Waiting for the Wind".

It's because Tang An's previous movies were too strong. The two series of "Painted Skin" and "On the Journey" are equivalent to two golden mountains.

They didn't even want "33 Days of Broken Relationship", and Tang An picked up a cheap one, which once again proved Tang An's vision.

As for the fact that the director of "Predecessor Raiders" is a newcomer, it is automatically ignored. Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng are not newcomers. Teng Huatao is also the first film, which was discovered by Tang An.

Wang Zhongjun waved his hands and said, "Big-selling movies are not Chinese cabbage, how can Tang An pick them every time, I don't believe he didn't miss the time."

Forget it once or twice, but four or five times are so accurate, all of them are selling well, if Tang An can pinch and count, that's too heaven-defying.

Moreover, talented directors like Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng are not so easy to find. In the past ten years, there has only been one more Ning Hao.

Wang Zhongjun then remembered that the second male number Deng Kai in "Predecessor Raiders" was an artist under Huayi's banner, so he thought about inviting Liu Tao over.

"Wang Dong is looking for me?"

"Mr. Liu, when did Deng Kai pick up this "Predecessor Raiders"?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

"At the end of last year, Tian Yusheng talked to Wang Kai at that time, but he didn't get a penny of investment at that time, that is to say, it was a verbal agreement.

Then at the end of January, I got 300 million investment from Le Hua, and I came to find Wang Kai again, and wanted us to invest, so I asked him to find the production department, but Director Gu probably didn't like it.

Then I went to Hantang Media and got 1200 million investment, and the contract was officially signed a few days ago. "

Liu Tao knew what Wang Zhongjun was going to ask, and he said everything he knew.

Has Tian Yusheng sought investment from Huayi?
Wang Zhongjun was slightly taken aback, but there was nothing strange about it.

Big companies like them receive at least dozens of investment-seeking projects every year. After all, they are big companies with a lot of money and resources.

Not all projects require him and Wang Zhonglei to intervene, and the general production department has to screen once.

"Okay, I see. Mr. Liu should go get busy first, and pay more attention to Deng Kai's situation in the crew when he has time."

Liu Tao responded and left the office. This is the news for him to inquire about the movie "Predecessor Raiders".

Wang Zhonglei said regretfully, "Brother, I really don't know about this film, otherwise it wouldn't have fallen into Tang An's hands."

"It's just a low-budget movie. How can there be so many dark horses? It's too cheap." Wang Zhongjun said indifferently.

That's what he said, but Wang Zhongjun instinctively had some doubts.

Last year, "33 Days of Broken Relationship" first asked Huayi to invest, but they didn't vote, which made Tang An cheaper.

Now "Predecessor Raiders" also found Hua Yi before, and finally fell into Tang An's hands.

Could it be that it is really so unlucky that good movies are handed over every time?
Impossible, what a coincidence!
Wang Zhongjun shook his head.
