Chapter 478 Enemy's Narrow Road (Please subscribe for the first update!)
The summer vacation is coming to an end, and "Transformers 3" hit the box office of 10 billion yuan in China, becoming the third movie in the mainland film market with a box office of [-] billion yuan.

The first half of this year was completely dominated by imported blockbusters. Audiences who hadn’t recovered from the bombing of “Kung Fu Panda”, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “Fast and Furious 5” in May were once again in In July and August, I enjoyed a baptism of Hollywood blockbusters.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has been released for more than 20 days and has created a new domestic box office of 4 million for this series.

The box office of "The Smurfs", which was released for half a month, also exceeded [-] million.

Among the domestic films, there are only two films that broke 1.8 million in July and August. They are "Eavesdropping" with 1.7 million and "Martial Arts" with [-] million.

Directed by Jiang Zhiliang and starring Chen Kun, the love movie "Butterfly on the Shoulder" used the team and main creator of a commercial blockbuster. The cost as high as 8000 million was only exchanged for 1600 million at the box office, creating the biggest box office tragedy in recent years.

Last week, a comedy film "Priceless Treasure" directed by Wang Jing and starring Zhang Bozhi was released, which earned 8 million box office in 1500 days.

In May, Wang Jing took Xie Tingfeng to shoot "The Inn of the God of Wealth", which broke through 5 million yuan. This time, he took his wife to shoot a comedy film, but the box office was only so low.

Zhang Bozhi's luck has been bad since that incident. Although the salary has increased, all movies and TV dramas hit the market, and all of them are bad movies.

Xie Tingfeng changed his luck. Since then, he spent nearly [-] million to buy a sea view villa.

He opened several branches, and won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards for his role as a ghost in "The Informant".

Moreover, the box office of "New Shaolin Temple", which he starred in, broke [-] million, creating a personal best.

This year, the box office of a small-cost costume comedy has exceeded [-] million, and it seems that it has returned to its peak, and it is still the leader of the Mesozoic actors in Xiangjiang.

Is this the legendary blessing?
With just a few domestic films, the combined box office is not as high as that of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", let alone "Transformers 3".

This has never happened in the past, whether it is Zhang Yimou, Tang An, or Feng Xiaogang, the summer file with them has never allowed imported movies to be so unrestrained.

Under such circumstances, those media's news that "There are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey is king." also aroused considerable repercussions.

There are all kinds of bragging about the three major directors, and some bragging about Hollywood blockbusters, and the public relations teams behind each of them have also begun to work hard.

Feng Xiaogang, who was filming "[-]" far away in southern Henan, was also upset. According to this, Tang An was not there last year, and he, a monkey, was the king.

In the face of reporters visiting the class for interviews, Feng Dapao once again uttered bold words.

""10" will earn at least [-] billion at the box office next year!"

Not to be outdone, Zhang Yimou has verbally booked this year's box office champion.

Xu Ke felt very upset. The three major directors Tang An, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang were being talked about everywhere, but not many people mentioned him.

He also frequently spoke out, saying that "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" will be an epoch-making martial arts blockbuster, and the Lunar New Year box office champion will also be contended for.

As for Brother Kai, after the fiasco of "The Orphan of Zhao", he is much more low-key.

He is preparing for "Search", trying to restore his reputation first, and then think about the box office.

The party involved, Tang An, was invited by Jia Leting to participate in the first LeTV Grand Ceremony at the National Convention Center in Beijing this evening, and was also asked about his views on imported blockbusters dominating the summer schedule.

"Hi Director Tang, what do you think of the failure of domestic films this summer?"

"I'm a little regretful and sad. Foreign films have earned a lot of box office in our own domestic film market." Tang An said seriously.

The reporter asked, "Then why do you think domestic films will lose out to imported blockbusters this summer?"

Tang Andao said, "Imported movies have high box office, so they must have their advantages, such as special effects, which is difficult for domestic movies to surpass, and it is the gap between the entire movie industry."

The reporter asked again, "Director Tang, do you think that if "Edge of Tomorrow" or "The Martian" were released in the summer, the box office would surpass "Transformers 3"?"

""Edge of Tomorrow" has proved this movie through a series of data, and I believe "The Martian" will also prove that it is a good movie in the following December!"

"That is to say, Director Tang, do you think that the main reason for the failure of this year's summer domestic film is because you didn't participate?"

You say yes.

Tang An stopped chatting with the reporters and walked towards the venue.

This is the first LeTV Grand Ceremony held by LeTV. The scale is not small, and there are fifty or sixty awards.

With more awards and more nominations, naturally more people came to the ceremony.

Jia Leting still has a wide network of contacts, and quite a few people came here.

"Hi, Dong Jia."

"Tang Dong is here, welcome."

Tang An greeted Jia Leting, looked around and said with a smile, "It's still Dong Jia's big face, everyone in this circle is almost here."

"Director Tang is joking, thanks to everyone's respect." Jia Leting waved his hand.

Jia Leting's personality charm (brainwashing ability) is beyond doubt. Even Sun Hongbing, a real estate tycoon, threw 165 billion on his car project, and almost shed tears after the failure.

For such a broken project, Hengda was tricked into picking up the deal again, throwing in 8 million US dollars, and it was squandered again, without any splash.

After the money was spent, Lao Jia unilaterally terminated the cooperation with Hengda, causing a case of asking for salary.

Later, he went to the United States, and was given the nickname "Jia Leting, who will return to China next week."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tang An sat in the front row in the middle.

Next to it was Huayi Wang Zhonglei leading the team, and Tang An and the others occupied the best position in the middle.

On the side is Hengda Film and Television, and Ma Jun, the president, came to the scene in person, followed by Fan Bingbing, who had left the cooperation between Berna and Hengda.

Hengda and Huayi are now cooperating in real-time entertainment, and have also established a Hengyi film and television company. It is said that they are seeking a credit line of [-] billion from Ping An Group.

It didn't take long for other actors from the company to arrive, except Deng Chao who was filming in Thailand.

Tang An asked Xiang Wang Kai and Tang Yan, "How did your filming of "Why Shengxiaomo" go?"

"There are still two days left for the show, and it will be finished soon." Tang Yan said.

"It's been filming for half a year, you guys should take a good rest, there is still promotional work to come."

Before Tang An finished speaking, there was an unpleasant "hum" sound from the left.

On the left are Li Xiaoping, vice president of Guangxian Media, and Cheng Jiashang, Liu Weiqiang and others who have recently cooperated with Guangxian.

Tang An turned his head and looked over, just in time to meet Cheng Jiashang's unkind eyes.

This seat row, how to arrange him here.

When Tang An gave Cheng Jiashang's "Painted Skin" to Wu Ershan, Liang Zi was finally married.

Although Cheng Jiashang also made some small moves, there was nothing he could do about Tang An, not to mention that Tang An's films had never been selected for the Academy Awards, and he, the chairman, couldn't do anything about it.

After a two-year hiatus, Guang Xian invited him to collaborate on several films in a row, and now they meet again.

Tang An didn't go to see him either, and smiled at Li Xiaoping, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Xiaoping was a little embarrassed. He was a partner on the one hand and the director the company had hired on the other. He couldn't say anything at this time.

Now the domestic famous directors are basically paid by major companies, Guangxian has not found a few reliable directors, and Cheng Jiashang will have a series next.

"Long time no see Director Tang, is the new film going well?"

"It's okay, it's in the later stage."

"Then I wish Director Tang another one billion box office. The annual box office champion can't be taken away by an imported movie."

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Li for your good words."

We chatted for a while, but didn't say anything.

Cheng Jiashang didn't look for trouble, and Li Xiaoping didn't express anything with the "hum" just now, and Tang An didn't pursue it either.

However, I am afraid that the relationship between Han Tang and Guang Xian will be broken step by step.

Li Xiaoping also had a wry smile in her heart. It's not that she didn't know the relationship between Tang An and Cheng Jiashang. They couldn't find a good director, so they recruited Cheng Jiashang.

I had expected the current situation, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.
