""The Martian" won "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and broke the record of "Avatar". Is there a problem with surpassing Lao Mouzi to become the number one director in China?"

This kind of comparison between two well-known figures has always been the favorite of Chinese people to join in the fun. In less than a day, the controversy about who is the number one director can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

This is a pinned post on a certain forum. The title mentions Tang An's support, and a series of statistics are listed below. He is probably a loyal fan.

From the box office, word-of-mouth, and awards of Tang An's eight films in the past eight years, analyze them one by one, and compare Zhang Yimou's films in the past ten years.

After a round of argumentation, Tang An has undoubtedly surpassed Zhang Yimou's achievements.

Having said that, Zhang Yimou's fans stopped doing it, and as soon as the post was posted, there were more than ten replies.

Fans of both sides started to argue, and at the beginning they talked about the facts and presented the data, which was well-founded.

"How can Tang An compare with the National Teacher? Just based on the box office? Then Cameron is the number one director in Hollywood?"

"Lao Mouzi's first film "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award and is well-known all over the world. It is not comparable to the small awards of San Sebastian, and this is also the first film to win three international awards. domestic films."

"Those who brag about Tang An are all children, right? Movies such as "Ju Dou", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", "To Live", "No One Can Be Less", "My Father and Mother" Which one is not a classic among classics, three Oscar nominations and five Golden Globe nominations have been eaten?"

"Hehe, if you can't blow the box office, you can blow the awards? Double-standard dog!"

"Those movies are indeed classics. I don't even look at the age. How many classic movies have Lao Mouzi produced in the past ten years? Several movies have been blown up for ten years and then for ten years. Will they still come out in 30 or [-] years? ?”

"Two Golden Lion Awards, one Golden Bear Award, one Cannes Jury Award, three Oscar nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, three Golden Rooster Awards for Best Director, four Golden Rooster Awards for Best Film, six Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Film, six The best film at the Huabiao Awards, and the top ten most influential people in the world by Time magazine in the United States. These names can scare Tang An to death, let's compare them with a hammer!"

"Aren't you funny, Guoshi has no box office success? "Heroes", "House of Flying Daggers", and "Curse of the Golden Armor" broke the box office records of Chinese movies twice, and the three annual box office champions, all of which were eaten by you?"

"Don't mention it, "House of Flying Daggers" and "Golden Armor" have been sprayed as S, go and see which of Tang An's eight movies has a bad reputation?"

"I think the number one director still depends on influence. Otherwise, awards and box office will become addition and subtraction. At least Lao Mouzi has been a judge at the Venice Film Festival, directed the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and was nominated by the American "Time Magazine". "Person of the Year."

"I'm ashamed to brag about what happened more than ten years ago. Just like Chen Kai, I've been bragging about "Farewell My Concubine" for almost 20 years. Look at Zhang Yimou's achievements in the last ten years!"

"Comparisons are based on awards, and winning an award is better than high box office?
Tang An's 8 films had a total domestic box office of 37 billion. The domestic box office of all Lao Mouzi's films combined was only 17 billion. Counting overseas, the global box office was only 39 billion, which was barely higher than Tang An's domestic box office. "

In the beginning, the fans of both sides presented their data, but later on, they had nothing to say, because no matter what they said, it was impossible to convince each other.

The Internet is like this, it doesn't make sense to reason, unless you can go along the network cable and beat the other party up, and you'll be fine once you're convinced.

Basically, they started spraying each other later.

Fortunately, the new picture now has no money for public relations except for the promotion of the movie.

There is no hope overseas, and Zhang Weiping doesn't want to spend a penny now.

The Han and Tang Dynasties did not send out navy troops, basically the media and fans of both sides were fighting, and they were more restrained.

As the person involved, Zhang Yimou didn't have the energy to take care of these things. Just thinking about the next cooperation with Zhang Weiping and the company bosses who came to contact him was enough to deal with it.

Tang An didn't care about it either. He rested at home for two days on New Year's Day from the 1st to the 3rd. Then he went back to the company for a meeting on the 4th. After dealing with some things, he should go to the United States.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, in the large conference room of the group, more than ten high-level executives gathered here.

Saving nonsense for the time of the annual meeting, Tang An got straight to the point and talked about the real thing.

He looked at Li Nan, the director of the distribution department, "Mr. Li, have you discussed all the films that will be released by our company next year?"

"It's been confirmed. There are a total of six volumes: "The Stolen Five Years", "The Listener", "Quick Book: Happy Home", "Those Years", "Cold War", and "Little Times"."

As far as these six films are concerned, basically they don’t have the investment background of several giants, and what they value is the distribution ability of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the past two years.

"Those Years" is scheduled for Valentine's Day on February 2, and the release department needs to coordinate the schedule for others.

"Little Times", "The Stolen Five Years", and "Those Years" are exclusively released, and the other three are jointly released with Eucalyptus, Jiangsu-Zhejiang Golden Ball, and Dianguang Media.

If there are characters plugged in, let the people below communicate by themselves.

Then came the company's own projects, and Liu Debin, director of the production department, also gave a report.

Xu Zheng's "Master of Hypnotism" will be launched in two days, and it will be directed and acted by itself. The heroine is Wan Qian from her own company.

Chen Guofu is preparing for the next movie of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the script has almost been perfected during this time.

"囧囧 in Hong Kong" is also on the agenda. The production department and Xu Zheng are discussing the lead candidate. Xu Zheng will start "囧囧 in Hong Kong" immediately after filming "The Master of Hypnotism".

There are almost only these three films, plus the other 6 films to be released, which means that Hantang Media will invest in and release a total of 9 films next year.

Basically running through all schedules throughout the year is definitely a huge challenge for the company.

This is also the limit, and there can be no more, otherwise one or two of them will be strategically abandoned.

Then there is the TV drama project. Now the highest price for a single episode of TV drama online copyright has exceeded 150 million. "Tomb Notes" can start the first season by taking advantage of the popularity of "Looking for the Dragon".

The production cost of a single episode is almost enough, and the profit of an episode is 60 million.

Although it won't make much money, once the online drama becomes popular, it will definitely be a shot in the arm for Tudou, who is competing with Youku for the industry leader.

There are several other projects, Qidian, Jinjiang, and Xiaoxiang Academy have been acquired by the development department for a lot of film and television copyrights in the past six months, and they have all been adapted.

There are a total of 5 TV dramas, two of which have already been launched, and will meet the audience one after another in 2012.

This is not a shoddy TV series, the cost of a single episode fluctuates around one million, and it is definitely not an easy task to start five TV series at the same time.

Although everyone had doubts, Tang An still made a decision.

After the meeting, Tang An went back to the office to look at the financial statements, and Xu Manyun knocked on the door and came in not long after.

She couldn't ask directly at the meeting, but she still couldn't help asking Tang An's thoughts in private.

There are 15 projects a year, and even apart from the six films, there are still 9 projects under the master control, which is really a bit rushed.
