Chapter 824

In the middle of July 2015, the popularity of the Lunar New Year stalls has not dropped since the beginning of the month.

"OPERATION RED SEA" was released and broke records at the box office, and then "Dynasty Woman"'s eye-popping horse scene became a new hot spot again.

What's more, "OPERATION RED SEA" still maintained the most popular state for ten days after its release, and won 1.33 million again on Monday of the third week.

1.25 million on Tuesday, continuing the record of breaking 29.26 million in a single day. The total box office has reached [-] billion in the [-] days of its release, and new records are being created every day.

Tang An is still repeating the boring publicity work. From this point of view, Hollywood directors are relatively happier.

Hollywood doesn’t need roadshows, and there’s no need to do what’s happening in China, like in China, where there are three cities in two days, or even two cities in one day.

Decades ago, Hollywood first started to use road shows for publicity, but this road show is much more luxurious than Kobe in China. It not only shows movies, but also interacts with the audience. It is a complete large-scale stage show after another, which is equivalent to a national tour. Many movies have become popular because of this.

It can be said that in the early years Hollywood cinemas screened the regular version, while the road show was the deluxe version.

However, since the 80s, with the rise of multiplex theaters, cable TV, and video tapes, roadshows have disappeared.

The rudiments of domestic roadshows were first started by Feng Xiaogang. Back then, his New Year films would hold premieres in major first-tier cities.

For more than ten years, road shows have been the most important means of publicity, and they are also used to please movie theaters.

After all, a road show with well-known stars and directors will definitely attract a large number of fans and fans. It is not a problem to increase the ticket price by three or five times. Coupled with the huge flow of people, it will be of great benefit to the cinema. The slices are properly tilted.

In most cases, theater chains are stronger than movie theaters.

But last year, Feng Xiaogang began to criticize this way of roadshow again, saying that it was a waste of time and money.

Obviously, he was the first to use the road show as a way of publicity, so he cursed people when he lifted his pants.

Feng Xiaogang always wanted to scold something, scolding the media, scolding the audience, scolding colleagues, not feeling comfortable.

No, another video of Feng Xiaogang swearing at people at the airport broke out on the Internet. The plane was late and he ate at the airport. He scolded the waiter because of the unsatisfactory food.

Sure enough, there were only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Tang An watched the video in which Feng Dapao spouted at the waitress and made a big point, and felt a little inexplicable joy.

Tang An looked at the time after watching some recent excitement on the Internet.

Yang Mi, who was filming "Chinese Restaurant" in Zhuangguo yesterday at noon, suddenly said that she would drop by and she should be here.

Within a few minutes, the doorbell rang, and Tang An got up to open the door.

"Brother An."

Yang Mi appeared at the door with a smile, and took Tang An's arm as soon as she entered.

Tang An closed the door and said strangely, "Isn't that show still filming? Why are you here?"

Yang Mi smiled and said, "It's not far away, so I stopped by to see you."

"This road is really smooth."

Tang An shook his head, it took three hours to fly from the Kingdom of China to Shenzhen.

Come and sit down on the sofa, Tang An asked with a smile, "Tell me, what's the trouble?"

It was seen through at a glance, Yang Mi smiled and said, "It's nothing, but Brother An, you just came to Shenzhen. It's not far from where we recorded the show. How about taking time to be a special guest?"

Tang An's head was full of black lines, and he was a little speechless. He went back and forth for six hours, just to find himself on the show.

Every day road show is exhausting enough, the ghost wants to act on variety shows.

"It's fine to let me eat, but I won't brazenly praise how delicious your food is." Tang An shook his head and said.

"I'm not going to eat. Brother An, why don't you come and be the chef for a while, your cooking is delicious." Yang Mi explained.

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Tang An wouldn't like it, so he said, "It's fine to be with Zhang Yu, and you will be in charge."

It's so boring to let Tang An come to eat. If he is allowed to be the cook, the show will not be popular.

Tang An said angrily, "You still let me be a coolie, don't you know how tiring the road show is?"

"Just cook two dishes, and treat it as a fun trip." Yang Mi rubbed Tang An's arm coquettishly.

"Not going." Tang An remained unmoved.

Persuading him to no avail, Yang Mi pretended to be angry and said, "Brother An, you are biased!"

"What's wrong with me?" Tang An was a little puzzled.

"Nezha in "Fengshen" was given to Wu Lei, and Boyi Kao was also given to Brother Hu." Yang Mi said.

"Wu Lei belongs to Tangtang, what does it have to do with Brother Hu?"

Tang An was even more surprised, what is going on here.

"Brother Hu and Cai Yinong invited Tangtang to dinner a few days after the audition, is there such a coincidence?" Yang Mi snorted.

"Hey, for this matter, there must have been people from Wenguang or Modu TV Station at the time. Wu Ershan's use of Brother Hu was not entirely due to Tangtang's relationship." Tang An explained.

It is impossible to choose the cast of any film and television drama without considering external factors, and the bigger the project, the more this is the case.

Everyone in the entire film and television industry wants to participate in such a super-large production of the "Fengshen" series.

The right to choose the role of Tang Pingan is left to Wu Ershan. Even if this series determines his future, there will be various favors involved.

And he not only had to consider his own favor, but also the favor of Han and Tang, even if Tang An didn't say anything.

Han Dong, who plays Yang Jian, is from CTI, the president of CTI is from Jiangsu-Zhejiang Optoelectronics System, and Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV Station is one of Hantang's biggest partners in TV stations.

This relationship may not be enough to determine the ownership of an important role, but if there are two actors with similar conditions, one has this relationship and the other does not, it will play a decisive factor.

Han Tang is the second largest shareholder of Modu Media, and Modu TV is also the main partner. Shangshi Pictures, a subsidiary of Wen Guang, has invested in Tang Yan's company, and Tangren has been in Modu for more than ten years, so it has something to do with it.

Su Xiao, the deputy director of Shanghai TV Station and the CEO of Shangshi Pictures, has a very good relationship with Cai Yinong.

Moreover, Tang Yan and Hu Ge have cooperated in the early years and are considered friends.

The actors are also more in line with the requirements of the role. Coupled with the relationship between the two aspects, it is not surprising to get the role.

Otherwise, just relying on Sugar Man and Brother Hu, a company that has no presence in the film industry, and an actor who can be said to be a newcomer on the big screen, it is difficult to get in touch with a big production of this level, even if it is popular in the field of TV dramas It doesn't work.

You don’t need to spend money to watch TV dramas, but you have to buy tickets for movies, and the number of fans is insignificant for a big production.

The box office of a movie can cost hundreds of millions, depending on how much fans can contribute.

Even if fan circle culture becomes popular in two years, those traffic fans will raise funds for their idols, spend tens of millions, or even tens of millions, to buy album sales, magazines, endorsement products, and advertisements, and they will be able to create a very The feeling of fire.

But these tens of millions are nothing to a movie, and buying tens of millions at the box office is also a waste of money.

Jingdong can spend [-] million votes for "The Legend of the Demon Cat", that is, it can get benefits, how many diehard fans can spend so much money for an idol, not to mention that even if [-] million votes are paid, it will be miserable.

Even if there is a rich second generation of Xiao Wang's level among the loyal fans of any traffic, it is impossible to spend hundreds of millions to buy box office, so as not to be beaten to death by his father.

And even if there is such a large purchasing power, the money is spent on the movie box office, so where does the money come from for albums, advertisements, etc.?

Whoever creates more profits has a higher status. Traffic and idols are famous in China, so they can only be active on the Internet. If they go to the big screen, relying on fans will not work.

"Well, one day you can ask Huang Bo and Xu Zheng if they have time to record an episode. Huang Bo can cook, but Xu Zheng doesn't like to cook. You can start with it. The show must have a strong sense of comedy."

After explaining, Tang An made a suggestion to Yang Mi.

But Yang Mi covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Brother An, you mentioned in "Longing for Life" that you can let Boge and the others go, and you also let Boge go in "Extreme Challenge", you don't know, Boge You even complained about why you don’t let him be a good voice mentor, he is actually a singer.”

Tang An said, "An actor like Huang Bo is indispensable in China."

After talking about this, Yang Mi paid attention to another movie.

"By the way, Brother An, what kind of actors do you need for that "The Wandering Earth"?"

Basically, no one was optimistic about this project, but Tang An went to discuss it in person, and Yang Mi also made up his mind.

Tang Andao, "This film is still very early. The preparatory work has been at least a year. Moreover, China Film is the master control, which is very important to Han Sanping and Jiao Luofen. If you don't have a suitable actor at that time, forget it."

Seeing that Yang Mi was about to show an aggrieved look again, Tang An shook his head, "Your company puts on four or five TV dramas a year, and any popular variety shows are on it."

"No way, there are so many artists in the company, they are not enough." Yang Mi immediately retorted embarrassingly.

Tang An patted her on the shoulder, smiled helplessly, "Okay, go to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Then I'll take a shower first."

"Hurry up, I'm going to bed first."

PS: In the last chapter, about [-] words were deleted by the river crab, and the title was changed.

There is no status, I don’t know what to write at all, and I am embarrassed to say sorry.

It will be over at the end of June. There is nothing to write. I am tired of writing, and everyone may feel uncomfortable watching it.

It collapsed from the beginning of less than a million words, due to various factors, in fact, it was forced to continue later, and it became more and more difficult to write.

Sorry, the last month is trying to end at a normal pace.
