Chapter 491 Absolute Confidence (Please subscribe for the second update!)

In Suzhou City, Jiangning, a grand banquet has just ended.

Huayi Brothers has been keen on live-action entertainment projects for the past two years, and wants to use this as a springboard to get involved in the real estate business.

Today marks the completion of the Suzhou Film Town jointly invested by Huayi Brothers, Hengda Group, and Ping An Insurance. It is also the first film town to be built.

The Wang brothers and Xu Jiayin, the boss of Hengda, are chatting about several follow-up projects and the opening time.

Not long after 12 o'clock, Wang Zhongjun's assistant came over and whispered something in his ear.

Wang Zhongjun frowned, and said, "8200 million, it's another record, and it's been eight years without a miss."

At this time, with this number, Xu Jiayin knew what Wang Zhongjun was talking about after thinking about it for a while.

He asked with a smile, "Wang Dong, Tang An's new movie took over 8000 million at the box office on the first day?"

"Yeah, I watched some of the New Year's Eve files this year, and I don't know who will win, Tang An or Zhang Yimou." Wang Zhongjun sighed.

Five years ago, there were no five movies with a total box office of more than 5 million, but now a movie has a box office of more than 5 million on the first day.

The growth rate of the film market is not much slower than that of real estate.

However, Xu Jiayin has no intention of entering the film and television industry in an all-round way. Movies with a box office of 8000 million on the first day can only release one or two movies a year.

He just sighed, "I'm afraid there are not many directors like Tang An who haven't failed in eight consecutive movies."

Next to him, Wang Zhonglei answered, "Not only are there not many, there are none at all. If you count the actors, Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long, and Li Lianjie should have had them before."

"It's only 8000 million. Xiaogang's "[-]" next year will not be worse than this number." Wang Zhongjun said confidently.

To say that there is no director who has never failed, except for Tang An.

But to say that the directors who have not lost money in the past ten years, apart from Tang An and those directors who have made one or two films, are only Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou's costume films before 08 could sell copyrights overseas, and "Three Guns" and "Hawthorn Tree" had low investment and all made money.

Although Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" only had a box office of 1.5 million yuan, it still made a lot of money relying on overseas copyrights.

This is also the reason why Wang Zhongjun has absolute confidence in Feng Xiaogang.

Even if "If You Are the One 2" lost to Tang An and Jiang Wen last year, it would still be a big profit.

What's more, last year Feng Xiaogang made two films at the same time, and most of his energy was devoted to "The Great Earthquake in Tangshan".

After all, "Tangshan Earthquake" also sold more than 6 million box office.

"Assembly", "Tangshan Earthquake", and "[-]" have a common selling point, earning tears from the audience.

The first two were successful, and this third one has no reason to fail!
After chatting for a while, Xu Jiayin went back to the room to rest, and Wang Zhongjun turned to Wang Zhonglei and said.

"It seems that "The Martian" is at the billion-dollar level again. This year, this is the third movie with a box office of around one billion. The market is getting bigger and bigger. Even if you invest two to three hundred million, there is still great hope for the domestic box office. Pay back."

Wang Zhonglei asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Wang Zhongjun said, "The movie town does not need to devote all its energy, and it is impossible to make a profit within three or four years. The Disneyland in Xiangjiang has not recovered the cost so far, and it may take another year.

You go back first to see if there are any good projects, and don't throw away your old books. "

Wang Zhonglei nodded, "That's right. Hengda and Ping An are willing to cooperate with us in the movie town because of Huayi's brand name and the copyright of those movies. If they can't maintain their leading position in the movie industry, the loss outweighs the gain."

In Zhang Weiping's house, he was inevitably a little lost when he got this data.

Even if "Transformers 3" broke [-] million on the first day, it is still a movie suitable for all ages and family fun, and the special effects are more than a grade higher than domestic movies.

The previous first-day box office record was 4800 million for "Edge of Tomorrow", and the single-day box office record was 6500 million for "Looking for the Dragon".

Now it's only the first day, "The Martian" has earned 8200 million at the box office, isn't it going to be close to the [-] million mark on Saturday!
However, after many years of cooperation, he still believed in Zhang Yimou. After making a phone call to the head of the Propaganda Department and the PR Department to inquire about the negative public relations of "The Martian" and his own publicity, he went to bed first.

Tomorrow will have to face the reporters.

On Berna's side, Yu Dong didn't go home, and was still having a meeting in the group conference room.

"Chairman, "The Martian" has nothing to make a fuss about, and the actors don't have any black spots. Negative marketing may not have any effect."

Yu Dong nodded, looking at the things sorted out by the two departments in his hand.

Tang An's previous films were all high-quality commercial blockbusters, and this time is no exception. It's normal not to catch obvious weaknesses.

After listening to his report, Yu Dong raised his head and said.

"So, isn't "The Martian" a sci-fi film? The focus of sci-fi films lies in special effects and plot conception. It mainly focuses on these aspects, no matter how it is edited."

"The location is in the Tengger Desert. Send someone to find the shooting location, take some bad photos and come back, and then go to the movie theater to secretly take some photos of the Mars ground scene. The angle and light are well grasped, and there must be obvious flaws."

The special effects of science fiction films are undoubtedly the most important part. The plot of "The Martian" is basically on Mars. Yu Dong wants to create a feeling that the Mars in the movie is too fake for the audience.

It depends on whether the two sides are right.

It is Bernard + the navy of the new picture, can it surpass the navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties?

At about the same time, everyone in the circle basically knew the box office of "The Martian" on its first day.

One night, the record Tang An created again made it difficult for many people to fall asleep.

Not long after, the major media published box office information one after another.

Until early in the morning, the headlines of all entertainment media were the same news.

"Tang An's new movie "The Martian" grossed 8200 million yuan on the first day, breaking the first-day box office record in the history of Chinese-language movies!"

"With 8200 million on the first day, "The Martian" will push the Lunar New Year file to another peak. December 2011 is expected to surpass the summer file and usher in the biggest box office peak of the year,"

""The Martian" won a record-breaking 8200 million box office on the first day, Zhang Yimou or Xu Ke, who can stop Tang An from dominating?"

"Tang An strongly defended his position as the No.1 commercial director in China, sweeping the Lunar New Year file, and the box office of all the movies in the same period was less than a fraction of that of "The Martian"!"

"Tang An's new movie "The Martian" set a record at the box office on the first day, surpassing "Edge of Tomorrow" at 8200 million and becoming a new Chinese film first-day box office record!"

""The Martian" ushered in a good start, won more than 78% of the box office with 95% of the lineup, and airborne the box office champion of the day!"
