China Entertainment Times

Chapter 740
"I set a small goal for myself, the box office is 30 billion."

Tang An spat out these words with a smile, his tone was not too impassioned, it was the same as before, unhurried, as if it was not 30 billion, but just two or three billion.

But the reporters on the scene were not so calm anymore. When Tang An said the sentence of 30 billion, many reporters were still a little dazed.

"Did I hear you right, Tang An just said 30 billion?"

A reporter in the crowd turned his head in disbelief and looked at a familiar colleague next to him.

"It seems to be, I heard clearly, it is 30 billion."

"I'll go, 30 billion, it's really easy!"

"It's still a small goal, so the ultimate goal is not 50 billion."

"Ah, Tang An dares to say that even in the world, the only movies with a box office of 30 billion yuan in a single region in the world are "Titanic", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Revenge". The box office of other superhero movies and the "Star Wars" series in North America is more than 4 million US dollars at most.

Next year, "Reunion 2" will definitely not be released. Cameron's new film has not been filmed yet, and the "Batman" trilogy has finished filming. If "Operation Red Sea" can really earn 30 billion at the box office, wouldn't it mean that next year the box office in various regions of the world The highest movie is likely to be a Chinese movie? "

Thinking of this, the reporters became even more excited.

They are entertainment reporters, although the film and television industry has no direct relationship with them no matter what.

But the more prosperous the film and television industry is, the better future these entertainment journalists will have.

At the end of the 90s, the entertainment industry was underdeveloped, it could even be said to be very backward.

At that time, some major newspapers were assigned by package, and there were no special entertainment newspapers, and there was no entertainment section. Entertainment news was generally reported in the literary supplement.

The layout of the news determines the future of the reporters in charge of this type of news. At that time, many graduates who had no connections and connections were assigned to the literary supplement.

Just like the difference between government agencies such as the Finance Bureau, the Organization Department, and the Culture, Education and Health Department, they are much worse than other reporters in all aspects.

The 16 Spring Festival Gala 1998 years ago should have been the most exciting one. He Jiong hosted it that year, but he only played for more than 20 seconds, and the subtitles were "He Jiong", Hantang Media Development Department Deputy General Manager Ya Ning is also one of the hosts.

That year, Na Ying and Wang Fei sang "Meeting in [-]", which became the most popular song of the year, and Liu Dehua, Zhang Xinze, and Mao Shun sang "Great China".

There are also many stars from Baodao and Xiangjiang. During the rehearsal, many media sent reporters there, and it is said that there will be no shortage of news.

As a result, those big newspapers basically published a program schedule, at most one or two photos were added, and the rest were killed because they were too entertaining.

Entertainment news cannot be published because it is too entertaining.
It was even worse in 98. The country began to rejuvenate the country through science and education, and vigorously abolished literature and art news. Some literature and art sections were reduced to once a week.

At that time, most of the entertainment journals did not interview celebrities, but participated in various literary seminars, drank tea and read newspapers, and became the boss of the agency.

Until "Returning the Pearl" became popular, from 98 to 11, there was a big change in the music scene. After Liu Ye and Qin Hairu both won the Golden Horse Best Actor, they became popular overnight, and countless media frantically followed them.

There are also film and television dramas co-produced by mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Provoke" These Singaporean TV dramas were smash hits.

At the beginning of the century, a large number of film and television dramas co-produced by the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan appeared and became popular quickly. A lot of scandals between mainland stars and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars often appeared in front of the public.

CP speculation is not outdated in any era. Stars such as Zhao Wei, Lu Yi, and Huang Lei were often criticized at the beginning. Compared with Tang Guoqiang, they said they had no knowledge and did not read enough.

It is also similar to the current media comparing these new generation stars with the Mesozoic generation. Maybe in more than ten years, these post-[-]s actors should be role models for post-[-]s and post-[-]s generations
Coupled with physical reforms, the right time, place and people, the entertainment reporters slowly began to turn around.

It can be said that their future is tied to the development of the entertainment industry. Although "Operation Red Sea" broke 30 billion, and the box office of a single film in the mainland surpassed that of North America for the first time, it is only a record, and it will be over in a few days.

But the meaning of this data is different. It affects all aspects and has many substantial benefits for the media.

However, these reporters who have been studying Tang An for nearly ten years are also a little confused. Although Tang An was not very humble in the past, it is still rare to be so loud like today.

When "Edge of Tomorrow" broke the billion mark, Tang An's expectation for "The Martian" was one billion, and the goal of "Interstellar" was still one billion.

After "Interstellar" broke 20 billion, he said in an interview that the goal of "Mystery Superstar" is also 20 billion.

20 billion is already a huge number for the domestic market. If it was any other director, they would definitely think that they were shouting slogans for the sake of gimmicks and publicity.

But for Tang An, who has already won 20 billion at the box office and has never missed a hit, taking another 20 billion is not bragging at all.

But 30 billion is completely different. At present, there are only two films in China that break 20 billion, even if they break [-] billion, there are only two or three films a year.

30 billion, no matter for film and television companies, directors, or media such as them, it is unimaginable.

Such a high-profile shouting of 30 billion, and it is still a small goal, really makes the reporters feel strange.

But it's strange, it's strange, they wish Tang An would make more publicity, the more publicity he has, the more topics he can talk about.

"Hello, Director Tang, you mean that "Operation Red Sea" will earn 30 billion box office next summer?" A reporter confirmed it.

Tang An smiled and nodded, "That's right, no matter what you do, if you don't make progress, you will fall back. No progress is the biggest failure. My goal for "Operation Red Sea" is 30 billion!"

If you don't advance, you will retreat. This sentence is suitable for Nokia, which was acquired by Microsoft not long ago in the equipment and services department.

Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila said the last thing when he announced his agreement to Microsoft's acquisition at the reception: We didn't do anything wrong, but for some reason, we lost.After speaking, dozens of Nokia executives, including him, couldn't help crying.

This incident was widely spread, and people couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness.

However, I just don't know who made it up. People will believe it if they say too much. When Nokia was acquired, the CEO had already left for almost two years.

Netizens are also talented people, and the sentence they made up, combined with the situation of Nokia, is quite sad.

This is the case on the Internet. Many things I see are made up.

But this is true. In any industry, standing still is tantamount to failure, because someone will step on you to move forward at any time, and it will be difficult for you to catch up at that time.

The reporter asked again, "You said just now that this is a small goal, so what is the ultimate goal?"

"How high the number can be reached in the end depends on the audience."

MMP, this sentence again, oil and salt are not allowed.

The reporter who asked the question cursed inwardly, Tang An would say this every time, leaving everything to the audience, Balabala.

The reporter asked, "Can you give me a specific number?"

Tang An laughed and said, "Of course I hope the higher the better, but it's not up to me. I just shoot the movie and leave the rest to the audience."

After repeating what he said just now, the reporter didn't ask any more questions, and he couldn't ask any more questions, so he might as well make it up by himself.

"Director Tang, what is the specific story of "Operation Red Sea"? Does it tell about the war that took place in the Red Sea?"

"This is a secret for the time being, and I will tell everyone when the movie officially starts."
