Chapter 511 The King of the New Year, Who is the No. 1 Director in China?

"Surpassing "Avatar", "The Martian" topped the box office champion in the history of the domestic film market!"

"1.343 billion! A new box office champion in film history was born, Tang An created a new box office record, and won the first director in China!"

"Dominate the Chinese New Year, surpass the two Hollywood blockbusters of "Transformers 3" and "Avatar" one after another, and "The Martian" has completed a historic transcendence!"

Ten years ago, the box office of "Hero" exceeded 100 million, opening the era of blockbusters in the domestic film market, and a special term "100 million yuan club" was born.

Today, ten years later, "The Martian" surpassed the two-year-old record of "Avatar", domestic films broke one billion one after another, and the domestic film market ushered in the era of super blockbusters, and Tang An became the only candidate for the billion club!

"2011 is coming to an end, and the Lunar New Year stalls contributed nearly 2.3 billion yuan to the super high box office in December in a single month, and "The Martian" accounted for 58%, becoming the biggest winner of the Lunar New Year stalls. ”

"Won the champion of the Lunar New Year file for two consecutive years, and after winning the king of the summer file, Tang An once again defended the king of the New Year file!"

"There is no doubt that he is the first commercial director in China, and even now when discussing the first director in China and the first director in the Chinese film industry, Tang An's voice is getting higher and higher!"

Following Chen Kaige's defeat in the 10-year Lunar New Year, Zhang Yimou also lost in the competition for the Lunar New Year this year, and the two leading figures of the fifth-generation directors lost in the head-to-head confrontation with Tang An one after another. ”

"The Martian" swept the Lunar New Year stalls and set more than a dozen box office records in a row:

The first-day box office record of a Chinese-language film.

A single-day box office record for a Chinese-language film.

The box office record of the first week of a Chinese-language film.

A single-week box office record in film history.

Zero point field record in film history.

Chinese films are the fastest to break the record of 4, 5...1.3 billion.

The total box office record in film history

......

1.343 billion billion!

When this number came out, all the media were reporting frantically, and even "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which have been sprayed wildly in the past few days, have not paid much attention.

The box office record in the history of the domestic film market still surpassed the super blockbuster "Avatar", which swept the world, and the media couldn't help but be excited.

And this also proves that last year's "Edge of Tomorrow" achieved 1.1 billion yuan is not accidental, not a flash in the pan.

"Edge of Tomorrow" 1.1 billion, "Dragon Quest" 900 million, "The Martian" 1.3 billion.

Three billion-level movies in two years is enough to prove that the capacity of the domestic film market is enough to accommodate billion-level blockbusters.

In addition to the record-breaking, there is another topic that is also controversial.

Zhang Yimou's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" suffered Waterloo overseas, and the domestic box office fell relatively sharply this week, with 29 million in 5 days, with a total box office of 610 million.

There is little hope of breaking 700 million, and the final box office is not even half of "The Martian".

Tang An also won Zhang Yimou head-on for the first time, plus the previous Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Chen Kaige, and Xu Ke, these big domestic directors have become Tang An's subordinates.

So, is Tang An the first director in China now?

But according to the box office, it must be nothing.

In the eyes of the younger generation of fans, there is no doubt about it.

However, Zhang Yimou has been sitting in this position for 10 years, and there are still many people who recognize him more.

The media insisted on their own words, hyped up the topic like crazy, and led fans to debate endlessly.

Noon on the 31st.

When Tang An returned to the capital to hold a celebration banquet, he was asked the question of the first director in China.

"I don't think this question has to be the first, especially this kind of question that has no standard answer, everyone's favorite movie type is different, and the directors they like are naturally different, all with subjective opinions, this is not like a martial arts competition, two people fight, who wins is great, right? ”

Faced with this problem, Tang An was still a little humble and made a joke.

Although in his heart, he is absolutely unyielding.

This is not relying on two or three movies to become popular in a short period of time, from 04 to the present, 8 movies in a row, his output in these 8 years is the highest, and the box office has surpassed others by a large margin.

Even in terms of awards, he is not weaker than anyone else.

Golden Horse Actress, Golden Rooster Actor, College Student Film Festival Actress, Actor, and other best directors and best movies have also won.

There are even more nominations.

In this regard, only Feng Xiaogang, who almost won two grand slams with "Assembly" and "Tangshan Earthquake", can surpass him.

It's not by chance that a few good movies have been made, for 8 years in a row, and they are fully qualified for this.

The reporter asked reluctantly, "Many fans think that you have surpassed Zhang Yimou, what do you think?"

Tang An smiled, "Leave this question to the audience, time will give us the answer." ”

Tang An calmly responded to the reporter's interview, this question is not interesting to quarrel, the name of the first director is not noisy, when everyone acquiesces, basically there is no controversy, it can be regarded as really falling on his head.

Then the reporter asked about the overseas release of "The Martian".

"Hello Director Tang, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is pre-cooled overseas, do you think it will affect the overseas box office of "The Martian"?"

Tang An thought for a while and said, "There may be a little impact in the early stage, but in the end, it depends on the reception of the film by overseas audiences, and I believe that "The Martian" can still achieve good results in the overseas market." ”

......

The celebration press conference ended successfully and sent off the reporters, and held a big dinner in the banquet hall next door, and half of the entertainment industry was there.

"Congratulations to Director Tang. ”

"Tang Dong gave us a breath of relief and took off "Avatar". ”

"I wish Tang Dong's "The Martian" a big overseas hit. ”

"Congratulations..."

......

Dealing with everyone's congratulations and compliments one by one, a glass of wine has not yet been drunk.

They all have their own circles, and Tang An and Yu Dong got together.

"Wang Dong, how is the movie town in Suzhou, when is it going to open to the public?"

Tang An talked about Huayi's movie town, and Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Li Ming also listened with interest.

Although the upper limit of the box office of a single film has been raised by 1 billion now, if the film town is feasible, it will also provide a new revenue direction for the pan-entertainment industry.

Wang Zhongjun said with a smile, "It will be officially opened next summer, and everyone is welcome to come and visit." ”

Wang Changtian lifted his glasses and said, "If Wang Dong changes his career to real estate, our competition will be much smaller." ”

Tang An smiled, "This is wrong, I heard that in addition to Director Feng's "1942", Wang Dong also collaborated with Wu Yanzu and Feng Delun in "Tai Chi", and Brother Cheng Long's self-directed and self-written "Zodiac", Zhou Xingchi's new film was also won by Wang Dong, and next year there will be four blockbusters at a time, but we have no room to live." ”

Wang Zhongjun's eyes froze, and Yu Guang glanced at Tang An, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"Tai Chi" is a project of a company jointly founded by Wu Yanzu and Feng Delun, and it was negotiated two months ago, which is not a secret.

However, "Zodiac" and Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West" were all decided and signed half a month ago, and no one knows except for a few high-level executives of the company, how did he know!

Is there an inner ghost?

Yu Dong and the others also heard about it for the first time, and they all cast inquiring glances at Wang Zhongjun.

Wang Zhongjun didn't hide it anymore, and happily admitted that Hua Yi would open four blockbusters next year, and he did not hide the pride and confidence in his words.

Now the domestic single-film box office potential exceeds 1 billion, and if you invest two or three hundred million, the domestic box office can also return to its original cost, and you can make a lot of money from the distribution share.

It is also the rapid development of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Wang Zhongjun can't lose the position of Huayi's leader, otherwise the movie town will also be affected, after all, it depends on Huayi's brand.

Tang An wasn't worried, but a few of them were a little worried.

Moving on to the listing of ponies, Wanda will open two movies next year......

......

The box office has already set a record, Tang An stopped the roadshow, rested in the capital for a few days, and prepared to rush to the United States to prepare for the release of the film in North America.

However, the Internet did not cool down after the release of the three blockbusters in the Chinese New Year file in the second half of the period, and the topic of Tang An and Zhang Yimou who is the first director in China is still quarrelling.
