China Entertainment Times

Chapter 807 Keep a low profile?nonexistent!
Before the release, Tang An also took the actors around several major ticket warehouses in China and held several press conferences.

Not too busy, nor idle, June passed in such a busy way.

On the afternoon of July 10st, "OPERATION RED SEA" held a grand premiere ceremony at the Olympic Sports Center. Thousands of premiere tickets were sold out in less than [-] minutes. The audience who grabbed the premiere tickets came to the entrance of the stadium early .

At the entrance of the gymnasium, there are rows of movie posters on both sides, pasted on shelves.

In front of each poster, the audience who arrived first took a group photo there, and none of them were vacant.

Several Internet celebrity anchors with selfie sticks were also doing live broadcasts on the spot. The advanced ones followed a small team, and there were special people to help filming.

The internet celebrity anchors are also getting more and more popular, shouting "little brother", interacting with some viewers in a coquettish voice.

Thousands of people have already surrounded the stadium. Although the formation is incomparable to those superstars holding concerts, it is still worthy of "massive momentum".

At four o'clock in the afternoon, almost an hour before the start of the red carpet, another group of hot stars also came.

Although the premiere of "OPERATION RED SEA" was held at the Olympic Sports Center this time, there were enough seats in the front row, but it was basically difficult for third-tier stars, and starlets who were not even third-tier, to get invitations.

Ordinary tickets are not allowed to walk on the red carpet. Those little stars who don't have tickets, or only have audience tickets, come in advance and pose for pictures nearby.

There are also those who are brave enough to take photos near the red carpet, as well as a group of professional fans and reporters holding microphones.

There is a whole set of procedures. The development of the entertainment industry is not only an increase in the box office, but also an increase in the price of TV dramas, and many peripheral industries have also been derived.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the red carpet officially started, and the invited celebrities stepped onto the red carpet in turn, enjoying the cheers of the audience.

Half an hour later, today's protagonist, Tang An, arrived late and led the actors onto the red carpet.

The atmosphere at the scene reached its climax, and the sound of "click" almost never stopped.

The spectators and reporters on both sides were not far away. They were so close that the various voices from both sides were enough to drown out people, and they couldn't hear what the audience was shouting at all, nor could they hear other voices.

Tang An slowed down a little, greeted the audience as he walked, and occasionally stopped to take pictures.

He dragged himself off the red carpet and came to the inner field of the stadium, where a large number of reporters were also waiting at the interview office.

Waiting for the master to arrive, as soon as Tang An appeared, the reporters rushed over immediately. Before the man arrived, a series of questions popped up first.

"Hello, Director Tang, "Fast and Furious 7" broke the box office record in mainland movie history created by you. Are you confident to regain the record again?"

"Director Tang, you have released ten films since 2004. "Operation Red Sea" is the No.11 film you directed. What do you think, or what are your expectations?"

"Before the summer vacation, Hollywood blockbusters exploded one after another. "Fast and Furious 7" broke 25 billion, "Avengers 2" and "Jurassic World" both broke 15 billion, occupying the top three of the annual box office list, and all Ranked among the top ten in film history, many filmmakers called it "Wolf is coming", thinking that the domestic market will also be broken by Hollywood blockbusters, Tang An, what do you think?"

"I would like to ask Director Tang, before the release of "Operation Red Sea", did he hype up with the previous evacuation incident, using the suffering of foreign compatriots as a means of propaganda, Director Tang thinks it is too despicable, doesn't he?"

A whole lot of questions were thrown out, and the speed of speech was as fast as that of a cross talk talker, but it was not so clear.

Fortunately, there were security guards separating them, or if one of them couldn't stop the car, they should have jumped on Tang An.

Tang An calmed down and said, "Thank you for coming to the premiere of "Operation Red Sea". If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Come on, I have to ask again. The reporters who calmed down a little bit repeated the question again. This time it was not so urgent, Tang An could barely hear it.

It's not a new topic. Tang An didn't think too much, and said, "In any industry, there is no permanent record. No matter what record, it will eventually be broken one day. "Fast and Furious 7" created A series of new records have been set, which just shows that our domestic film market continues to expand, and there is still great potential to be tapped.”

After "Fast and Furious 7" and "Pig Logic World" won 25 billion and 15 billion box office respectively, "Reunion 2" sold another 15 billion. The entire May and June directly became a carnival of Hollywood blockbusters. After the continuous visual bombardment, the admiration for Hollywood movies is even greater.

Originally, the current annual record is Chinese-language movies, and in popular schedules, Chinese-language movies beat Hollywood blockbusters. At this time, domestic audiences have not blindly worshiped Hollywood movies.

Of course, it’s also because there aren’t enough bad movies right now.

The comparison between Hollywood movies and domestic movies, from special effects to plots, and the impact of Hollywood blockbusters on the domestic market can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

Even the Taiwan media came out to criticize mainland movies and filmmakers, saying that the translation of "Fast and Furious" in Taiwan is the most suitable "Fast and Furious", and it was changed to "Fast and Furious" when it arrived in the mainland. .

A set of formula-like speech obviously cannot satisfy the reporter. For the reporter, it is too much to talk about, so it is better to just put out a few harsh words.

The reporter asked, "Director Tang once said at the launch conference that the box office expectation for "Operation Red Sea" is 30 billion. Is it still unchanged now?"

"Of course not." Tang An shook his head.

?

The reporters' eyes lit up, and they regained their energy immediately, and quickly asked, "Is it because the three Hollywood blockbusters have sold so much that Director Tang has no confidence?"

Last year, it was 30 billion, and even the record-breaking "Fast and Furious 7" was only a little over 25 billion.

The reporters thought Tang An was afraid of being slapped in the face and lowered their expectations.

After all, even if the attention of "Operation Red Sea" has risen to a higher level due to the evacuation incident, if it does not exceed "Fast and Furious 7", and it has shouted 30 billion before, it is estimated that Tang An will face another wave. Bo sneered.

If others shouted that only 30 billion films took 20 billion at the box office, the media and audience would praise one-sidedly, but Tang An's [-] movies have been hits for ten consecutive years, and every time he has achieved his bragging before the release.

The more successful a person fails once, even if it is just a small failure, it will be infinitely magnified and everyone will pay attention to it.

Originally, Xu Zheng's "Lost in Hong Kong" took 16 billion at the box office, which was considered a big hit, but when many viewers and the media talked about this movie, not only did it have a poor reputation, but it even said that the box office hit the street.

In the final analysis, the expectations in the early stage were too high. After all, 2.1 million on the first day and the word-of-mouth of the previous work are there, 16 billion can be considered a hit.

If Tang An, who kept setting new records, shouted out 30 billion and only got more than 20 billion, still not surpassing "Fast and Furious 7", then he would face more slobber than Xu Zheng.

However, what Tang An said was completely different from what they thought.

"House prices are priced every day. Pork has risen by 15% in the past three months. Last year's goal was set last year. After a year, there will be more movie theaters and more moviegoers. My expectations for "Operation Red Sea" are natural. It's even higher."

Even higher?

The reporter who asked the question just now was a little confused. If there was no "Fast and Furious 7" and the mainland movie history record was "Mystery Superstar", then Tang An would not have any pressure, and it would be fine to brag about it. Anyway, he would be number one.

But now that the records have been broken, even if you want to create momentum, it is enough to call out a goal of 30 billion, and it turns out that the goal is even higher, which is not just high-profile.

Doesn't he understand the truth that the higher the blow, the harder the slap in the face?
Tang An didn't care about what they were thinking, and gently spit out a number.

"Now my goal is 40 billion. I believe that the increasingly prosperous domestic film market can support a 40 billion movie, so this achievement will definitely be accomplished by Chinese-language movies."

Afraid of being slapped in the face?
impossible.

It's also impossible to keep a low profile. It doesn't matter if you keep a low profile in order to keep a leisurely and low profile. It just so happens that no one bothers him.

But now that the movies are all released, no matter how low-key it is, there will be a lot of things to do, so it's better to be more public.

This can also make the media climax. They will definitely create momentum and publicity spontaneously. Whether it is positive or negative, it is good for the film. Anyway, the negative news will definitely not outweigh the positive ones.
