Chapter 532 Shang Wang Baoqiang for Zhao Wei! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
The long-planned press conference of Ah Li Films ended with a bang. It is foreseeable that the three things Ah Li announced today will become the headlines of the major media in the afternoon.

Compared to the chairman and CEO of Ah Li Pictures, Lu Chuan became the most popular person in the media.

A few years ago, the failure of "The King's Feast" caused Lu Chuan to temporarily leave the film and television industry in despair. After several years of silence, he returned to the film industry and regained his confidence, as if he had forgotten the original failure.

Facing the reporters' questions, Lu Chuan responded calmly, but he was not too humble.

When asked about the "Tomb Notes" movie, he said that it will be a brand new magical feast that audiences have never experienced before.

As for next year's summer vacation, it is also a tone that must be won.

When asked about Tang An's new film "Interstellar" coming out next summer, he belittled Tang An without opening his mouth. He just said that Tang An is a good director and "Interstellar" is a good movie. Causes a lot of trouble and is a formidable opponent.

After the press conference, Ah Li entertained executives from major companies in the entertainment industry in the hotel's largest banquet hall.

No matter what, on the surface they congratulated each other one by one.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang, the new company has finally been established."

Tang An and Zhang Qiang clinked a glass and smiled slightly.

Zhang Qiang laughed and said, "Thank you, Director Tang, for your appreciation, and thank you for your help."

"Mr. Zhang is too polite."

At the premiere of "The Golden Heist" before, Zhang Qiang also swore that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was not invested by them.

This is a good thing, it is indeed not their investment, but they directly acquired the investor as well.

With the share of "囧囧 in Hong Kong" and participating in the announcement of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil", the Spring Festival stalls will not be a loss no matter what.

Tang An didn't question him either. He was operating normally in the mall, so there was nothing to say. Could it be possible that he still expected everyone to keep his word?

Tang Ancheng responded with a smile, and Zhang Qiang also knew what was going on in his heart.

Zhang Qiang sighed. In fact, he was serious when he said that at the beginning. At that time, the senior executives of Ahli had not yet promoted the acquisition of Wenhua Zhonghua.

He originally wanted to facilitate the acquisition of the Forbidden City Films by Ahli Films, and take over the channels and production department announced by this established film company.

Moreover, he has served as the chairman of the Forbidden City Films for several years. It can be said that as long as the acquisition is completed, the senior management of the Forbidden City Films will inevitably become the backbone of Ahli Pictures. status.

However, the high-level executives headed by the president Zhang Wei wanted to go public directly through the back door, which promoted the acquisition of Wenhua Zhonghua.

Ah Li's top management also prefers Zhang Wei's plan, which can be achieved in one step.

In addition, the negotiations with the three major stocks behind the Forbidden City Films, Tokyo City TV, Jingcheng Film Company, and Jingcheng Optoelectronics Media, were not smooth, and Zhang Wei took the lead.

Together with Wanda and Huayi, using "Tomb Raider Notes" and Tang An's new film to compete in the ring was also proposed by Zhang Wei.

No way, Tang An is currently the most popular director in the country, as long as his new film is defeated head-on, the prestige of Ah Li will be considered established.

Tang An rejected Zhang Wei's investment request three times in a row. Whether Zhang Wei's personal emotions were involved in it or not, that wall is unknown.

As for why Lu Chuan was sought out, there are not many directors in China who can make blockbuster films.

Now that the entire development strategy of Ahli Pictures has been finalized, Zhang Qiang can't change the decision of the top management, so he can only go on.

Several big companies got together and chatted casually, and Wang Changtian also teased Zhang Qiang that he would occupy both sides of the Spring Festival next year, so he would not suffer any disadvantages.

At this time Zhang Wei and Lu Chuan, the presidents of Ah Li Pictures, came over. She smiled and said, "Wang Dong, you are wrong. We have invested a lot in "Journey to the West"."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tang An, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Tang An said with a chuckle, "You should always be careful with that one. The investment in the first movie is so big, and your company has already been listed. If it doesn't succeed, the impact will be big."

Zhang Wei's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled authentically, "Thank you Tang Dong for reminding me."

As the senior president of Tangtang Ahli, all the projects and investments in the past were not always successful, but she actually hit a wall here in Hantang, and was rejected three times in a row, and she even came to the door in person.

Fighting Tang An next year, in addition to strategic considerations, also means to let out a sigh of relief.

As for Tang An's outstanding record, in her eyes, nothing can match the capital, and many companies have fallen under Ahli's huge capital.

Zhang Wei's words were quite tit-for-tat, and Tang An also took them one by one.

As for Lu Chuan, there was nothing more to say after the two parties said a few polite words, and they didn't say harsh words in front of so many bosses.

After the banquet was over, Tang An left the hotel calmly.

On the way down the stairs, he told the secretary, "Please come to the company Xu Zheng."

"Good chairman."

Secretary Zhou Li immediately called Xu Zheng.

An hour later, Tang An met Xu Zheng in the office.

"Tang Dong, are you looking for me?"

"Director Xu, sit down."

Tang An asked him to sit down, and then said, "Ah Li Pictures acquired Wenhua Zhonghua, do you know?"

"Online news came out an hour ago, and I heard that Wenhua Zhonghua also participated in the investment of "Journey to the West"."

Xu Zheng nodded. The efficiency of the media is much higher now, and the news was reported before the press conference of Ah Li Pictures was over.

"Tomb Raider Notes" has nothing to do with him, but "Journey to the West Conquering the Devil" now has the support of Huayi and Ahli, and Wanda, which has reached a cooperation with them, will probably be on their side in time.

Xu Zheng thought this was what Tang An was talking about, and immediately assured him, "Don't worry, Director Tang, I've been preparing for "囧囧" for a long time. No matter what kind of opponent I meet, I have confidence."

"Of course I'm confident."

Tang An shook his head, "However, with Ahli's channel, if we try our best to promote "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", it will definitely be a huge threat."

Lao Ma's reputation is so good, much higher than Xiao Ma's, which is not without the credit of his media.

Tengxun also has a lot of media, but who always asks people to charge money? Word of mouth will not be good.
"What does Director Tang mean?" Xu Zheng asked puzzled.

"Replace Zhao Wei and go to Wang Baoqiang!" Tang An said in a deep voice.

Facing the combination of Zhou Xingchi + Huayi + Ah Li, "囧囧" without Wang Baoqiang is definitely at a disadvantage.

In any case, the core of this movie is jokes, regardless of feelings, touches, and family affection, and the combination of Xu Zheng + Wang Baoqiang can meet the audience's expectations to the greatest extent.

If the most basic is not done, other embellishments will not be of much use.

It can be said that no actor in the country can achieve the effect of Wang Baoqiang. Only by replacing him can he have the greatest confidence!
