In Huayi's chairman's office, Wang Zhonglei hurriedly pushed the door in and said eagerly, "Big brother, Tang An and Berner got together!"

"What are you doing in such a panic, let others see that there is something wrong with nothing!" Wang Zhongjun frowned and motioned for him to sit down.

Wang Zhongjun also saw the news in the morning, and was angry and anxious at first, but now he has calmed down.

"How many times have I told you, you have to be calm in case of trouble, the more anxious and chaotic it is!"

For this younger brother, Wang Zhongjun has no choice, he is smart, and he has no idea when he encounters a big event.

"But big brother, if Tang An and Berner get together, it will be troublesome!" Wang Zhonglei sat down and said worriedly.

Wang Zhongjun shook his head, "That's not enough, but what does Tang An want to do!"

"The film "Painted Skin" is a project of Ningxia Factory, I asked someone, it is indeed the investment of the three of them, and the three of them are probably talking about this at the celebration banquet that day, but I didn't expect it to be negotiated so soon!"

"Then is this true?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

"It should be right, but this is the investment of Tang An's studio, as long as he himself is not directing, then we can't say anything. Wang Zhongjun sighed after speaking.

At that time, in order to bring Tang An here, Wang Zhongjun almost offered the best conditions, not only accepting the investment of his studio, but also not signing a director's contract.

As long as Tang An doesn't direct other movies other than Huayi, he can not even come to work for a year.

It's a big deal to deduct wages and be fired!

"Don't think about it so much yet, let's find an opportunity to ask him on the side when the time comes!"

Wang Zhongjun immediately admonished, "Don't write everything on your face, let the company people see it, and think that we really broke up with Tang An, there may be reporters coming over recently, don't talk nonsense!"

"Big brother, don't worry, I understand this!" Wang Zhonglei replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Wang Zhongjun gave an admonishing look, "Please come in!"

"Wang Dong!"

The person who came was Tang An, and when he saw that Wang Zhonglei was also there, he didn't feel strange, and greeted, "Mr. Wang is also there!"

"Mr. Tang is early!" Wang Zhonglei also put away the expression on his face and replaced it with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Tang, is there something going on this morning!" Wang Zhongjun laughed.

Tang An sat down on the sofa next to him and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, that day Mr. Pang of Ningxia Film Studio pulled me to cast a film together, and it just so happened that the heroine was more suitable for Zou Xun, but I heard that she just took over the two movies "Li Mi's Conjecture" and "Women Are Not Bad", I don't know if the schedule is suitable." ”

Tang An took the initiative to mention this matter, which made Wang Zhongjun very satisfied, and he also relaxed a little.

"I don't know when the filming of 'Painted Skin' will start and when it will be released?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

"It takes more than two months to prepare, about 4 months to shoot, and the National Day file will be released. Tang An thought for a while and said.

"That should be able to coordinate, "Li Mi's Conjecture" should be filmed in 3 months, "Women Are Not Bad" has not started preparations, it is estimated that it will be released in the Chinese New Year, I will discuss with Director Xu, shoot the painting skin first!" Wang Zhongjun agreed.

On the side, Wang Zhonglei interjected, "Tang always has a role and can still think of his own people, it's really heartfelt!"

Tang An waved his hand and smiled, "It's all my own family, who is looking for to play or not, I can't be cheap to outsiders!"

"I don't know which director directed this "Painted Skin"?" asked Wang Zhonglei casually.

"It's a rookie director, it was originally set to be Cheng Jiashang, but I changed it if I thought it was not suitable!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhongjun was relieved for the most part, since it was to take revenge on Cheng Jiashang, it was still said in the past, but it was too presumptuous.

"By the way, Wang Dong, what kind of films has Deng Chao picked up recently?" Tang An asked again.

"Do you have an idea for Director Tang's new film?" Wang Zhongjun hurriedly asked.

No matter what Tang An wants to do, as long as he keeps a box office hit movie a year in Huayi, then the rest can be tolerated.

"With a general idea, the script just started to write an outline, and Deng Chao is quite suitable for the actor. Tang An nodded.

"The schedule is not a problem, when Director Tang is going to start filming, I will coordinate. Wang Zhongjun responded.

"Let's start in January, it will last for 4 months, and it will be released in the summer, and the Lunar New Year file will be left to Director Feng!" Tang An smiled.

There is Tang An himself in the summer file, "Painted Skin" in the National Day file, and next year's New Year file should be Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

Looking at it this way, next year's domestic film market will be covered by Hua Yi and Tang An.

However, Wang Zhongjun has a different opinion, "Mr. Tang, next year's summer file "Red Cliff" will be released, in my opinion, why don't you change to the Chinese New Year file?"

"There is Director Feng in the Lunar New Year file, so I won't join in the fun, "Red Cliff" is just the next "Transformers"!" Tang An shook his head.

"Red Cliff" is the first domestic film to break 300 million, but it is just taking advantage of the lack of opponents in the same period.

Throughout July and August, all films avoided "Red Cliff", only a blockbuster "Superman Hancock" was released, and "The Dark Knight" was only released in Xiangjiang and Baodao, and not in the mainland.

In this way, the total box office is 312 million, which is not much more than the original 280 million of last year's "Transformers".

"There are two months in the Lunar New Year file, and Zhang Yimou is not here this year, so it can fully accommodate you and Director Feng's two movies, so there is no need to go head-to-head with "Red Cliff"!"

Wang Zhongjun continued to persuade, ""Red Cliff" is the highlight of China Film next year, and it is jointly distributed by China Film and Bernard, it is difficult for us to take advantage!"

It is jointly issued by the two companies with the strongest issuance capabilities of state-owned and private enterprises, and Huayi alone is hardly an opponent.

"I've thought about what Wang Dong said, but the theater chain is to make money, there are no other movies released in the whole summer, we will release it a week later, avoiding the first week of "Red Cliff", judging from John Woo's control of blockbusters, plus we have to cater to overseas audiences, the quality of "Red Cliff" will not be much better, and the reputation is not good, we have a chance to win!"

"And the cost of my movie is not high, counting the special effects of seventy or eighty million is enough, and spending the rest of the money on publicity, twenty million is not enough for thirty million, or fifty million!" Tang An Zhengse said.

""Red Cliff" has invested 80 million US dollars, and they have to take into account overseas publicity and film festival promotion, so it is impossible to spend too much money on publicity in the mainland!"

This....

Wang Zhongjun was stunned by his words, 50 million publicity expenses, which is almost unimaginable in China, and no movie has ever invested so much money in publicity.

"Red Cliff" is said to have prepared 100 million yuan for publicity, but most of it has to be spent overseas, after all, this film still has to rely on overseas box office to recover its cost.

Wang Zhongjun was silent for a few minutes, weighing it repeatedly in his heart.
