Chapter 551: Drama! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
The current Yang Mi has starred in many popular film and television dramas, "Gong Suo Xin Yu" won the award, "33 Days of Broken Love" won the Best Actress of the College Student Film Festival and the Best Actress of Hundred Flowers.

Only 26 years old this year, box office, awards, and popularity are all available, and she is also one of the best achievements among actresses of the same age.

Today she starred in "The Stolen Five Years" and there were quite a few fans and reporters at the scene, basically all of them came for her.

The director Huang Zhen is not well-known, and the leading actor Zhang Xiaoquan has not made much achievements on the big screen. He has acted in many idol dramas in the early years.

Although not well-known, he was recommended by another investor, Jiao Xiongping.

These artists in Taiwan basically all became popular from idol dramas, and most of them started to enter the showbiz from the MVs of well-known singers.

Zhang Xiaoquan debuted in SHE's MV. Before that, he had a role, but he was rejected by Chen Bolin.

Li Guoyi also debuted in SHE's MV, and Ruan Jingtian, the actor in Tianting Banquet, debuted in Dai Peini's MV.

There are not many actors in Baodao, but there are still quite a few popular singers.

Leaving Yang Mi to stay on the red carpet for a while, enjoying the fans' screams, Tang An quickly walked over.

When I came to the interview area, I was also asked about the situation of "Interstellar" by the reporter.

After coping casually for a while, Tang An walked into the screening room.

Jiao Xiongping, another investor in the film, arrived first. He and Chen Guofu were old friends, and they were reminiscing about the old days.

"Hi, Director Jiao." Tang An walked over to say hello.

"Hello Tang Dong, thank you for your investment, and I will trouble you for the promotion later." Jiao Xiongping smiled and held out her hand.

"Director Jiao, you are being polite. It was Mr. Chen who told me that there is a good project. I hope the box office won't disappoint you this time."

A top student at the University of Texas, and the same school as Matthew McConaughey, the actor in the original "Interstellar".

Now he is the director of Baodao Film Center, which is equivalent to the leader of a provincial film studio in China.

Not many people came to such a low-cost movie of more than 1000 million yuan, so Tang An chatted with them for a while.

Without saying a word, Jiao Xiongping mentioned the Golden Horse Awards to be held at the end of the month.

"Tang Dong, you haven't come to the Golden Horse Awards for a few years, so you have to spare time this year."

The last time I went to the Golden Horse Awards was "The Wind" a few years ago, and Li Binbin won the Golden Horse Best Actress.

In the past few years, Tang An has been nominated almost every year, but he didn't go for a year, so he asked the producer to bring the crew there, and then came back empty-handed.

Basically, "Edge of Tomorrow" won the best visual effects, and other small awards seem to be gone.

As far as the Golden Horse Award is concerned, if there is no accident, Gong Li will be tricked once in the next year.

Before the award ceremony, Gong Li was specially invited to participate, and Gong Li's name was used to make a big publicity, which made everyone think that the actress had never left, and the sponsors even arranged a celebration banquet.

The result was good. All 9 Formosa judges voted for an unknown actor from Formosa, while 8 mainland and Xiangjiang judges voted for Gong Li, who lost by one vote.

A reward that is not very useful may not be there yet, and Tang An is too lazy to make a trip to waste time.

If the domestic Golden Rooster and Hundred Blossoms hadn't been sponsored by the government, and its actors would have to win awards in the future, he wouldn't even want to go.

With a lot of things going on at the end of the year, and the later stage of "Interstellar", Tang An didn't want to waste a few days running back and forth.

"Director Jiao, you also know that my "Interstellar" is still in the final stage, and the company has a lot of things to do. It will depend on the situation, and I will see if I can find time to go there."

Tang An's refusal did not make Jiao Xiongping feel unhappy. She laughed and said, "Many filmmakers in Baodao admire Tang Dong's "The Martian" very much. Our country's sci-fi films also have Hollywood standards. I hope they can compete with Tang Dong. Communicate a lot."

Jiao Xiongping left and chatted with other people, Tang An turned to look at Chen Guofu, "Old Chen, is the Golden Horse Award going to be awarded to me?"

Chen Guofu nodded, "Now that Taiwan's films can't sell at the box office in the mainland, relying on Taiwan's box office alone, it is impossible to recover the cost of even a medium-invested film, and they don't have the ability to open up the domestic market, so I want to invite Director Tang help."

Even Chen Guofu, who is from Baodao, has to admit that Baodao movies have completely collapsed, worse than Xiangjiang movies.

Looking through the entertainment media throughout the year, I couldn't find any edition that reported the movies produced by Baodao.

Even in Taiwan, the market share of Taiwan movies is less than 20%, which is completely occupied by Hollywood movies.

In 07, Jiao Xiongping took the lead in raising 1000 million U.S. dollars to film "Empire of Silver" in Baodao. Later, Bernard was hired, and the cost was increased to [-] million. Zhang Tielin and Guo Fucheng were invited to star.

The behind-the-scenes team includes Xi Zhongwen, who was nominated for the Oscar for Best Costume Direction, as the art director.

Pan Yaoming, the best photographer of the Golden Horse Awards, served as the director of photography.

Dong Wei, who won the Best Action Design Award at the Academy Awards, acted as the action director.

Yishui's golden team, 22 locations, took two years, and strived to be true.

Originally wanted to rely on this movie to revive Taiwan Film, but the result was that the investment of 2000 million yuan only brought in more than [-] million domestic box office, and Baodao and Xiangjiang also ended in disastrous failure.

More than 2000 million at the box office, not to mention the [-] million investment, Berner didn't even earn back the publicity fee.

With an investment of [-] million yuan, even a dime of the cost has not been recovered. All of it was in vain, and Berner was cheated. Until now, Berner dared not accept the film of Baodao.

Not only that, more than 700 million US dollars in this film was invested by Guo Taiming, the rich man in Taiwan and the president of Futukang.

700 million US dollars was not a small amount of money in 07, and it didn't even splash a little when it was dropped.

At that time, Guo Taiming also made a great wish to save Taiwan's film industry, spending 5000 million US dollars to save the market, and wanted to make 08 film and television dramas after 100.

As a result, Guo Taiming's lofty ambitions were hit by the fiasco of "Empire of Silver", and the rescue of the market was nothing.

Such a rich man doesn't play in the film and television industry anymore, and other businessmen in Baodao don't have any interest in Baodao movies, at most they invest in some idol dramas.

There is no external capital, and local capital dare not invest in movies.

There are no movies, and there are no stars. In the past, I could rely on idol military dramas, but now there is not even a big market for idol dramas. Baodao can't even produce a few decent stars.

Tang An thought for a while and asked, "What do they want?"

Seeing that Tang An was interested, Chen Guofu was also relieved.

Although he is from Baodao and was also the founder of the "New Mainstream Film Movement", if Tang An really didn't want to go, he couldn't say much.

Chen Guofu quickly said, "They want to ask the group to be responsible for the domestic distribution of Baodao films in the next few years, and when some projects lack funds, they hope that we can participate in the investment and give Baodao's actors a chance."

Tang An thought for a while and said, "It's okay to release, but it needs to be packaged. If you want to invest, you just need to pass the evaluation of the production department. As for the actors, if there are no suitable candidates for the role company, you can give priority to it." consider."

A golden horse best director doesn't have much weight, Tang An can't give up the benefits to the other party.

Packaged distribution is the way Bernard used to target some medium-sized film and television companies in Hong Kong. No matter how many movies you make a year, you can eat them all in one package.

As for the role, it doesn't matter if you don't have a suitable actor for your own actor, and it doesn't matter if you use the other party's artist.

Besides, there are [-] or [-] actors with professional backgrounds in several studios, and at most they leave some small roles for each other.

"Okay, I'll pass the conversation on to them later." Chen Guofu nodded.

Although the conditions were not very good, Tang An didn't like the Golden Horse Award at all, and he was in a hurry to ask someone to do something.

The premiere was about to start, so Tang An sat down in front and waited for the premiere to start.

It is useless to exchange three insignificant conditions for a trophy, but it is also to give Chen Guofu a face.

As for whether they can take it down, don't worry at all.

This year, 15 judges will be selected. More than half of them are from Baodao.

Jiao Xiongping has served as the chairman of the jury for several times. In addition to being the director of the film center and having a background in the local Baodao government, she also has a film company.

It is impossible for any award in the world to be free of tricks, especially this kind of award with more than a dozen judges, there has never been any fairness.

If the other party didn't do it, that's another story.
No, it was an accident!

Not long after, celebrities entered the stage one after another outside, and the company's artists came to join them if they had time.

There are still quite a few people, and many young faces are newcomers signed this year.

People kept coming to say hello to Tang An, the big boss. The female artists were all dressed up, even though it was already a bit chilly in November, they either showed their breasts, their backs, their legs, or whatever.

Even if there are female artists who follow the pure line, they don't dress too conservatively.

When someone came to say hello, Tang An responded with a nod.

At this time, a young woman in her early thirties came over with a girl in a pink tube top dress. It was Jiang Xiaodi whom Yang Mi had recently favored.

"Hello, Chairman."

Tang An smiled, "Hello."

The girl next to her seemed a little stage frightened, and the manager next to her touched her arm before saying hello in a low voice.

"Chairman."

"Well, they're all here, find a place to sit, the premiere is about to start." Tang An nodded.

The manager pushed Jiang Xiaodi twice without showing any signs, and seeing that she didn't respond, he couldn't help being anxious.

At this time, Yang Mi's manager, Zhao Luoyao, who also served as the director of the artist management department of her company, came over, glanced coldly at Jiang Xiaodi's manager, and smiled slightly.

"Sister Li, how is Xiaodi's preparations for the magazine cover in the next two days? You should pay attention to rest these two days, and don't have dark circles under your eyes that will affect your photoshoot."

The manager known as Sister Li quickly responded, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I will control Xiaodi's work and rest time every day, and it will not affect work."

Soon, the actresses who came to make friends with Tang An all found their own places to sit down.

Tang An originally planned to chat with the little girls, but now it's over.

He smiled at Xu Zhao Luoyao, "Luoyao, you drove all the people away, so they can't scold you in private?"

Zhao Luoyao said innocently, "Director Tang, they are here to disturb you. Mi Mi and the main creators have come in. The premiere is about to begin."

Tang An glanced at the door. The film director and leading actor had already entered, but they were blocked by someone just now.

Yang Mi glanced back and forth at several actresses in the company, with a rather unkind expression.

When Tang An looked over, he immediately put on a sweet smile again.

Dramatic!

Tang An shook his head secretly in his heart, it would be great if he could be so real and change various expressions freely when filming.
