Chapter 517 New movie! (The third update asks for subscription!)

"Interview with Yang Lan" was broadcast in the next few days. Except for the insiders, almost no one was paying attention to Tang Anna's gossip.

Even for ordinary audiences, it is not as good as the clips of filming in the middle, the grand occasion of full movie theaters at home and abroad, and the clips of Tang An standing on the stage to accept the award.

At the end, for the first time, Tang An answered Guan Yu's question about the number one director in China.

"If my fans think I'm the No. [-] director, then I am."

While not directly acknowledging it, it already makes little difference.

"The Martian" sold 30 billion yuan worldwide, basically confirming Tang An's position as the number one director in China.

This Tang An's first public response made the phrase "Tang An: I am the number one director" on the Baidu hot search list.

And on Weibo, it's still a hot topic.

There was no shortage of opponents, but some spoke a little too strongly and were close to scolding, and some thought Tang An was too young and didn't have enough background.

The filming of Feng Xiaogang's "15" is coming to an end. Facing reporters visiting the set, he confidently shouted out a box office target of [-] billion.

Let the cowhide be blown out first, even if there is no 15 billion, 10 billion is always a sure thing, after all, the previous year's "Tangshan Earthquake" took more than 6 million.

When asked whether he agreed with Tang An as the number one director in the country, he also dealt with it in a prevaricated manner.

Anyway, it's either Zhang Yimou or Tang An, no matter what, it has nothing to do with him, and it's useless to say anything.

It's just that Wang Zhongjun cheered for his directors and supported Feng Xiaogang in an interview.

"I don't know who is the number one director in China right now, but I know that Director Feng is definitely qualified to be one. The release of "[-]" during the Lunar New Year this year will prove everything!"

Maybe it was the Han and Tang movies that made a big splash last year. Wang Zhongjun has become more and more high-profile since the Spring Festival, and suddenly claimed that Huayi has entered the real estate industry in an all-round way, and developed 30 movie towns at one time.

All of a sudden, he said that this year Huayi will focus on the film and television industry, and will take a stake in a theater chain. All of a sudden, it will target more than 20% of the domestic market share this year, and all of a sudden, it will invest a few billion next year.

Wang Zhongjun frequently uttered big words, all kinds of ways to find a sense of presence for Huayi. It was nothing more than the opening of Huayi Film Town in Suzhou during the summer vacation.

If the first one goes to the street, I guess Hengda will not be so active in the future.

Li Yin, who was busy filming "Life of Pi" far away in India, only now learned that "The Martian" won 4.2 million US dollars worldwide.

This number also stunned him, a great director.

Even if he wins the Oscar for Best Director, after he wins "The Incredible Hulk", a major studio will invest 1.2 million US dollars to make this niche film, but his personal highest box office performance is only "The Incredible Hulk" in 03. "'s $2.5 million.

Excluding the inflation difference of nearly 10 years, this 2.5 million is not much worse than 4.2.

But people only look at the numbers and don't care about anything else.

But thinking of the movie he had carefully prepared, Li Press shook his head and casually put the newly printed A4 paper on the table.

After "Making Woodstock", he has been preparing for a new film for the past three years, with all the conditions and technologies in place.

He believes that this movie will definitely make him turn around, and even go one step further!
Another big director, Zhang Yimou, didn't have time to pay attention to this matter. After arguing with Zhang Weiping for more than a month, after wavering between several companies, he was finally moved by Jia Leting's blueprint for entertainment and the promised shares.

In a small conference room of a certain hotel, Zhang Yimou and Jia Leting held hands together.

Jia Leting said with a smile, "Director Zhang, it's a happy cooperation. I believe you will not regret this decision. Please rest assured that we can give you the greatest support!"

Zhang Yimou nodded, "Boss Jia, it's a happy cooperation."

After making an appointment for the formal signing, Jia Leting left with his people.

Zhang Yimou sat inside for a while, and took out a newspaper from his bag. The headline on the front page was about Tang An.

The row of bold and enlarged characters in the title deeply stimulated his eyes.

"The No. [-] Director in China: Tang An".

The turmoil from the outside world did not affect Tang An's work. Except for the financial and production departments, the group has entered a relatively peaceful period, and everything that should be busy is done.

At the very least, I can have some free time this month, and I will start to get busy after the release of the first movie "The Listener" released on May [-]st.

Tang An continued to work on his own script. After resting for a period of time during the Spring Festival, he had enough rest, his brain was relaxed, and he could devote himself wholeheartedly to creation.

It took half a month to complete the rough first draft. This is already his ninth film. Let alone making nine films in less than ten years, how many directors can make nine films that have been released in theaters in their entire career.

From the new century to the present, there are not many directors who have made 9 films.

That’s why Xiangjiang’s directors are so prolific. Ye Weixin has made 2000 films since 14.

Liu Weiqiang 20.

Wang Jing has 31 movies and 5 TV series.

One is scarier than the other, really two scary, high-yield competition sows.

Tang An thought about the ninth movie for a long time.

To break into the overseas film market, you have to consider the genre.

Ancient wars, science fiction, and adventures should be very suitable.

The first two have already been proved. "Looking for the Dragon" is an adventure genre. With Columbia's full distribution overseas, it sold well.

Finally, after considering several movies, Tang An still planned to make another sci-fi movie, which was also the last sci-fi movie.

"Interstellar", after filming this movie, I should not touch sci-fi movies for a few years.

"Edge of Tomorrow", "The Martian", and "Interstellar" are three consecutive science fiction films. If "Super Body" is added, it will be four.

And coincidentally.Those three sci-fi films all have four-letter titles.

The four sci-fi films all have the same feature, low cost.

"Edge of Tomorrow" mainly focuses on aliens, and everything else is real.

The special effects scene of "The Martian" is on the ground of Mars. In the last scene of the rescue scene, outer space is pitch black.

"Interstellar" might not cost much more than "The Martian".

None of these sci-fi films have any particularly troublesome special effects.

"Interstellar" has also been criticized by many viewers as a fake science fiction film, but there are few special effects and big scenes.

It is difficult for today's technology to support higher special effects requirements, or it will take more time, like Avatar, from the start of preparation, seven or eight years,

But it is almost impossible to make a movie in seven or eight years.

In [-], house prices almost doubled.

However, there are more crucial problems with this movie.
