Chapter 464 Broken partnership (subscribe for the second update!)
"The idea of ​​the movie "The Martian" actually came from a novel serialized by an American writer on the Internet. I made an appropriate adaptation and moved the background to our country."

Tang An introduced the movie, a huge poster appeared on the LCD monitor behind him, a barren land of Mars, the upper part was a huge human head, with firm eyes and weather-beaten face.

Wearing a helmet on the head, the whole head occupies half of the poster.

In the first movie, posters of several other astronauts appeared. It was a whole poster, lined up neatly.

clap clap
The first poster of "The Martian" is also equivalent to the makeup photos of the actors. Suddenly there was a burst of shutter sound from the audience, and it was filled with continuous flashes twice.

At the same time, there was a lot of discussion.

"The Martian is adapted from a novel? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It shouldn't be a bestseller, or else there is no movement at all."

"I stayed in the United States for a year, and I don't know this book. I don't know where Tang An found this book."

"If this movie becomes popular in the US, it might even sell the novel."

The book "The Martian" is still far from a bestseller in the United States, and it is only spread in a small area, let alone in China.

It is foreseeable that after this news spreads, many people will be interested in this novel.

After introducing the movie, Liu Ye, Li Youbing, Li Binbin, Xu Jinglei and others were also interviewed.

Then the reporter asked about Tang An's goal for the movie.

Tang An said confidently.

"Now our domestic film industry is developing faster and faster, and the record is one a year. I think I should make some progress, and now our mainland's box office record is still occupied by a Hollywood movie, so I am very impressed with "The Martian". The expectation is 13.4 billion, to regain our own record!"

That is to say, Tang An himself dared to call out this goal. "Edge of Tomorrow" is more than 11 billion, and it is not surprising that the target of the next part is set at 13.4 billion.

"Then Director Tang, do you think "The Martian" can still be sold globally?" The reporter then asked.

"Of course, Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks starred in a classic movie "Cast Away" 11 years ago. I think "The Martian" is a Martian version of "Cast Away". I believe foreign fans will also like it. Yes." Tang An responded calmly.

The launch conference was successfully concluded, and after seeing off the reporters, Tang An entertained some friends in the banquet hall next door.

Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and the others all came, and even Wang Zhongjun rarely showed up.

"Yu Dong, Wang Dong, it's rare for us to get together again." Tang An greeted with a smile.

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Tang Dong makes one movie a year, really productive."

Wang Changtian answered, "Not only is the production high, but the quality is also guaranteed. This is so rare."

Wang Zhongjun also squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I wish Director Tang the best of luck in the filming, and the new film will be a hit."

Qin Hong and Li Ming also raised their glasses to express their blessings.

"Haha, thank you for your support, I hope the celebration banquet will be held next year." Tang An raised his glass with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Ming said with a smile, "That's for sure. By then, Director Tang, don't be stingy."

"Borrowing Li Dongji's words, I will reward you at that time."

The six top figures in the domestic film industry are chatting in a very harmonious and friendly manner.

But how many intrigues are hidden under this smiling face, only they know.

Huayi, Bernard, Guangxian, Xingmei, Xiaoma, and Hantang, the six top private film and television companies in China.

When Wanda was founded and the three fathers of BAT did not enter the market, these six major companies represented the first echelon of the domestic film and television industry, and no company could compare with them.

Originally last year, Han Tang had a deep cooperation with Bernard, Guangxian, and Xingmei, but starting from this year, the previous strong cooperative relationship will only slowly break down.

From cooperation to competition, this is inevitable.

Hantang Media has three blockbuster films a year, all of which occupy the best schedules, and are undoubtedly a strong opponent for other companies.

Unless Tang An still accepts the investment from Bernard, Guangxian, and Xingmei, and entrusts them with the distribution of his company's films.

But it's not enough to become enemies. When it's time to cooperate, they still have to cooperate. Tang An asked them for a few small roles. If the artists under their banner are suitable, some supporting roles Tang An will not be stingy.

The schedules of the two films can be coordinated with each other. If they collide, it will be a fight, and sometimes there is no bottom line.

Compared to Hua Yi who did not have a good relationship with Tang An, Bernard and Guang Xian were no less threatening, and Guang Xian was even more difficult to provoke than Hua Yi.

In terms of means, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei together may not necessarily be Wang Changtian's opponent.

Back then, Zhang Zhao joined Guangxian Media and founded Guangxian Films. From scratch, it developed into a large-scale film and television company that maintained a [-]% growth rate every year.

As a result, Guangxian was kicked away by Wang Changtian after it was successfully listed at the beginning of this year, not to mention the shares, and it didn't get any benefits at all.

Zhang Zhao is not so easy to provoke. After leaving Guangxian, he founded LeTV Pictures, and within a year its market share ranked among the top five private companies.

Later, Zhang Zhao also took advantage of the envy. Only three days after the release of "囧囧 in Hong Kong", an employee of LeTV was distributing high-definition Blu-ray videos, and secretly slandered "囧Hong Kong", which was expected to exceed 20 billion. "囧" ended up only taking 16 billion at the box office.

That year's National Day file was not only "Lost in Hong Kong" released, but also the blockbuster "Nine-story Demon Tower" was also released on October 10. This film was invested and released by LeEco.

Who would believe that Zhang Zhao didn't do it on purpose?
As expected, it belongs to LeTV, he is almost the same as fake medicine.

One sent people to prison, and a movie was pirated within three days of its release.

It’s also blu-ray, it’s as big as 6G.

Such a ruthless character was easily kicked away by Wang Changtian, so naturally Wang Changtian would not be so easy.

As a result, Wang Changtian was furious, and "Jiucheng Demon Tower" and Lu Chuan were naturally hacked into S.

Although it was a bad movie
In terms of marketing methods, Wang Changtian, who was born as a reporter, couldn't be better at it. Coupled with Guangxian's powerful channels, in terms of public relations, Bernard and Huayi combined don't know if it is enough to fight.

The most classic is the White Snake Painting Wall Battle in the National Day file this year. A mere Juli Media was hanged up and beaten by Guangxian in the propaganda position, and there was no room for fighting back.

Also a blockbuster, "Painted Wall" with an investment of 3000 million won a box office of 1.78 million thanks to Guangxian's strong publicity and public relations capabilities.

And "Legend of the White Snake" even with Li Lianlian joining in, the theme is also taken from the four ancient Chinese folklore, the investment is as high as 1.8 million, and the final box office is only 2.11 million.

This may be regarded as the most successful and classic public relations battle in the past ten years, and Guangxian Media has used everything.

Tang An looked at Wang Changtian's smiling eyes behind his pair of ordinary glasses, and felt a little wary in his heart.

"Looking for the Dragon" will also be released on National Day this year. I don't know if Wang Changtian will turn his guns on him.

Do you want to cooperate with him in advance to kill "Legend of the White Snake" first, and then divide up the National Day files.

Not only Wang Changtian, but "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" will also compete with Bernard and China Film in the Lunar New Year film, and they will be rivals again at that time.
