Chapter 741 Evil Charming Smile

Again, if you don't say anything, the reporters are helpless.

First, he boasted that "OPERATION RED SEA" would take 30 billion at the box office, which whetted the appetite of the reporters, but after asking about the details of the movie, he didn't say anything.

If Tang An didn't say anything, they had no choice but to write a rough introduction and send it out.

Then it returned to the original process. Tang An and several actors talked about their feelings, feelings, and their own mental journey, and said a few chicken soup.

Everything was carried out step by step, and the whole celebration conference lasted nearly two hours.

After seeing off the reporters, a banquet was held in the banquet hall next door.

Those who should come and those who shouldn't have come, no matter how you do it, it's good to join in the fun.

After encouraging the actors, Tang An walked towards the bosses.

"Thank you for coming to the celebration banquet."

After having a drink together, Wang Changtian said with a smile, "Congratulations to Director Tang, if "Operation Red Sea" can break through 30 billion, then Director Tang will be the first domestic director with [-] billion yuan."

Tang An smiled and said, "I borrowed from Wang Dongji, but next year's summer schedule will depend on the situation. If everyone has a blockbuster movie released, it will be hard to say."

Yu Dongdao, "Tang Dong, you shout out the 30 billion, how can we fight with you? Next year's summer file will be up to Tang Dong. From 10 billion to the current 24 billion, I think there is great hope for 30 billion next year. .”

He said he wanted to give up the market to Tang An, but Yu Dong didn't want to, or didn't dare to fight for it.

Next year, Bernard doesn't have any movies that have the potential to be a big hit. Even if there are, Yu Dong won't fight Tang An in the summer and lose both.

It's not bad for both sides to be hurt, but if it's not Tang An's opponent, it will be a big loss.

Although the others didn't talk about it, after this year's summer vacation, they lost their temper at all.

"Transformers 4" lost 20 million in three days. According to the trend of normal blockbuster movies, it was promising to get 17 billion box office, but in the end it was only [-] billion.

It's okay to lose two or three billion in the box office. If it's a tie with Tang An, the losses for both sides will be fine, but "Mysterious Superstar" was not affected much at all. In the end, it won 20 billion in the box office, and it was extremely It may break 25 billion.

I don't want to think about the PK with Tang An for the time being, I don't have that confidence anymore.

However, although the idea of ​​sniping Tang An has been dispelled for now, the 30 billion target mentioned by Tang An just now is still a small target, and everyone actually doesn't believe it in their hearts.

Since Tang An broke 25 billion, the past four movies have indeed reached a step a year, step by step to hit [-] billion now.

According to mathematical thinking, according to this law, it is reasonable to raise another 30 million next year and win the box office of [-] billion.

However, the box office must not be calculated in this way, otherwise, one step per year, with an extra 50 million box office a year, wouldn't it be [-] billion in five years.

50-15 million in production costs, [-] million in publicity and distribution, [-] billion in box office production and distribution revenue, and cutting costs, that's a net profit of [-] billion.

Last year, the real estate giant Wanke's annual net profit was only 150 billion yuan. The profit of a movie can be compared to one-tenth of the real estate giant Wanke's annual profit, which is too scary.

Wang Zhongjun made a calculation in his heart. Although he thought it was impossible, he was not moved.

After Huayi went public in the past few years, he has cashed out a lot of money, but it is only a few hundred million. Tang An's "Mysterious Superstar" is no less than the money he has cashed out over the years.

But just thinking about it, a movie that can earn hundreds of millions is not that simple. Feng Xiaogang doesn’t make comedies anymore, and Xu Ke has both sides. He cooperates with Huayi for a while, cooperates with Wanda for a while, and can be with Wanda later. Bernard collaborated.

Without a reliable director, Wang Zhongjun was also in a panic.

Compared to Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong and Jiang Defu are the ones who are most worried.

"The filming of "Monster Hunt" has already been finished. I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Yu Dong sighed.

A large production of 2.7 million yuan, with Eucalyptus, Wanda, Bernard, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Optoelectronics as the main control, and more than ten companies such as Youku and Fujixun participated in the investment, it is definitely a heavyweight project.

In order to ensure success, there is no shortage of investors with all kinds of resources, and the actors are not small. The director is a well-known animation director in Hollywood. He has participated in the filming of "Shrek" and served as the director.

But now that the leading actor is finished, the project must either be terminated, or continue to invest money to complete the filming of the leading actor.

If this cost is added up, it will break [-] million.

When Berna and Wanda encountered this incident, the others somewhat gloated, but on the surface it looked like I was also very sad.

"The leading actor is basically confirmed to be banned. It's not easy to find another actor. Is there a suitable candidate?" Tang An said.

Yu Dongdao, "Director Xu is screening, I hope there will be suitable ones."

Tang An nodded, and didn't give him any advice, or intend to participate in the investment.

I haven't read the script, so it's ridiculous to recommend someone casually.

Besides, participating in investment is not very useful, the cost is too high, and without distribution rights, you can only drink some soup, and the sequel is not enough.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tang An went to deal with the others.

There were too many people here, and each of them had a head and a face. As the protagonist, Tang An had to entertain him to some extent.

Chen Kexin and Wang Jiawei who came together with Ah Li Films also came.

"Director Chen, Director Wang, it's rare that you are free to come."

Wang Jiawei greeted with a smile, "Congratulations, Director Tang."

No contact, just a nod.

Tang An originally went to deal with other people just to say hello, but Chen Kexin said, "Director Tang, I'm really sorry for "July and Ansheng" before, I have too many films recently, and I am the producer of three films. There is no spare time."

Tang An smiled, "It's okay, I hope to cooperate with Director Chen in the future."

Chen Kexin said, "Has Director Tang found a suitable director?"

Tang An looked at his slightly smug eyes and knew it in his heart.

This is for pretense. Tangtang, the owner of the largest film and television company in China and the number one director in the mainland, wanted to ask him to make a movie with Chen Kexin, but he still refused. It would be a shame to say it out.

Tang An wasn't angry either, and said flatly, "I've already found it, Director Chen didn't bother."

Uh.
Chen Kexin was choked back immediately, and it wasn't long before Tang An unexpectedly found a suitable director again.

"May I ask who it is?" Chen Kexin asked.

Tang Andao, "Director Chen probably doesn't know him. A new director named Wen Muye is quite talented."

Rookie director.

Not long after I was rejected by myself, I immediately found a new director to direct!
Chen Kexin guessed in his heart that Tang An was telling him that even without you, this film could still be made well with a new director.

I am a famous director who has won numerous awards, yet I let a rookie director take over my film!

Chen Kexin directly ignored that it was because he didn't want to take over and was taken over by others.

Preconceived notions are terrible. Originally, he was quite optimistic about the story of "July and Ansheng", and he was good at it.

It's just that he has decided to join Ahli, and Zheng Zhiwei has been his good friend for many years, and he often said in front of him that Tang An was arrogant and arrogant, and looked down on directors and actors from Xiangjiang like them.

One is a good friend who has known each other for more than ten years, and the other is someone who has not been in contact with him very much. Of course, Chen Kexin believed his good friend's words, so he didn't have a good impression of Tang An.

Now that Tang An couldn't invite him, and found a new person to replace him, Chen Kexin also felt very upset.

However, he didn't like to say anything in public, so he just let out an insignificant "hum", with a trace of disdain on his lips, "Director Tang still likes to use new directors."

"The newcomers are more creative and may allow us to see things differently."

Tang An didn't talk to him for long, there were so many people on the scene who had to deal with it, and besides, someone took over, so Chen Kexin didn't know what to feel bad about.

Looking at Tang An's back, Chen Kexin "hummed" the unhappiness in his heart.

"I want to see what the newcomer you find can shoot!"

Wang Jiawei didn't react at all. Although from the perspective of Xiangjiang filmmakers, he didn't like Tang An too much, but that was all. After all, there was no conflict of interest, and he didn't even say a few words.

He joined Ah Li only because Fan Luyuan offered the best conditions, and he wanted to make money himself.

Don't think that directors who make literary and artistic films don't care about money, 99% of making movies is for fame and fortune, after all, they have to eat.

Speaking of it, commercial directors have to cater to the audience, and literary films have to cater to the judges of those film festivals.

The countries where various film festivals are located are different, and their impressions and attitudes towards China are naturally different. Some like to watch films that reflect the backwardness of China, the obvious ignorance of Chinese people, or some social tragedies. The more miserable the better.

To cater to those film festivals is to win awards. On the one hand, it is to be famous, and on the other hand, it is to make money by selling copyrights, or it is for fame and fortune.

Tang An walked around the banquet, and Wang Xiaoming brought Yang Ying up again.

"Congratulations Tang Dong."

"You guys are here too. Why, when do you plan to hold the wedding?" Tang An asked with a smile.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Temporarily scheduled for next year's National Day, I hope you can come, Director Tang."

"Okay, I will go when I have time, it has not been easy for you these few years."

Although the two couples had a bad reputation, Tang An didn't have any prejudice against them, that is, Yang Ying's acting skills were a bit hot-eyed, so he was quite good at being a person.

Then Wang Xiaoming insinuated about the "Fengshen" trilogy.

"Director Tang, Director Wu's "Fengshen" will audition in a few days. Do you think I'm suitable for the role of Yang Jian?"

"It's up to me whether it's suitable or not. It's up to Director Wu's decision at that time. Since you're going to have an audition, prepare well." Tang An waved his hand.

Hearing that Tang An told him to get ready, Wang Xiaoming thought he had great hope, and when he got excited, he showed that familiar evil smile.

Looking at his smile, Tang An shuddered when he thought about Wang Xiaoming's version of Yang Jian.

Originally, two eyes could not stand the evil smile, but with one more eye, it would be even more unbearable.
