As one of the biggest directors of the Chinese New Year file, Chen Kaige's film has naturally attracted widespread attention.

"Mei Lanfang" was filmed very well, and even some viewers and critics said that the opening paragraph let them see the Chen Kaige who filmed "Farewell My Concubine".

But it's only the beginning and the first half, after all, it's anticlimactic.

In the end, "Mei Lanfang" won 10 million box office on the first day, which is already a very successful biographical movie.

However, it is only 10 million, and it is destined not to be Feng Xiaogang's opponent.

That's it for the Lunar New Year, there's nothing to pay attention to.

On December 7th, two days after the release of "Mei Lanfang", Tang An's new film "Chinese Partner" held a start-up press conference in Beijing to announce the official start-up.

The preparation time for this film is not short, and now it is finally ready.

At the press conference, the red floor curtain behind it slowly opened twice, revealing a huge poster six or seven meters high.

The poster is in a dilapidated classroom, with Wang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Lu Yi sitting behind two worn, old-fashioned desks side by side.

Leaning back in a chair, with his feet on the desk, his demeanor is different.

And on the blackboard behind it, a few English words are clearly written in chalk.

As soon as the poster came out, reporters began to take pictures.

There was a clattering sound and flashing lights everywhere in the huge conference hall.

"What does this poster mean, is it their school days?"

"Who knows what this sentence means in English, explain?"

"Cultivating English thinking, it looks like it's a classroom, and it should have been around for some years. ”

"They're definitely not students, don't you see that all three of them are wearing leather shoes, who is wearing leather shoes in class. ”

"It's not a student, it's a teacher?"

......

When they finished filming, the discussion was a little quieter, and Tang An spoke again.

"Dear media and audience friends, welcome everyone to take time out of your busy schedule to attend the launch conference of my new film "Chinese Partner......."

After a lot of polite remarks, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time immediately asked questions.

"Hello Director Tang, which industry is "Chinese Partner" talking about?"

A crucial question was asked, and until now, no one except a few people knew what the story was about.

There are all kinds of guesses, not to mention 360 lines, at least 36 lines have been guessed.

It's all going to be turned on, and there's nothing to keep secret.

Tang An picked up the microphone and said what they had been concerned about under the gaze of all the reporters and audiences at the scene.

Leaning sideways and pointing to the blackboard, he said with a smile, "Actually, everyone can understand very well when you look at this poster, in the classroom, there are either students or teachers." ”

"Look at the three of them dressed up again, look at this sentence on the blackboard, cultivate English thinking, they are English tutors. ”

Wow......

The reporters were stunned, why didn't they contact the teacher before, what is there to start a business.

For a while, more than a dozen reporters in the middle of the front row asked questions together, and they couldn't control any order.

The fans who were fortunate enough to be invited to the scene also don't know why, co-authoring this is to tell the story of three tutors, what is there to see.

The audience whispered conversations, the reporters asked questions loudly, and the scene was about to become chaotic again.

Zhang Yijun, director of Huayi's public relations department, who acted as a press officer at the scene, was also familiar with this situation, and soon the scene was a little quiet.

But at this time, she definitely couldn't let them ask questions freely, so she first clicked on the reporter of the leading boss of the portal website.

"Director Tang, why did you choose the tutor profession?"

The questions were asked quickly, the language was concise and clear, and there was no nonsense.

"Actually, I thought about putting the deeds of Ma Yun, chairman of Alibaba, or Ma Huateng, chairman of Tengxun, on the big screen, after all, these two Internet companies are changing our lives now. ”

However, after reading a lot of news and books, I found that they were described as successful and perfect Chinese businessmen, and it was difficult to shoot bloody flesh, so I thought twice before choosing to shoot such a subject. ”

In fact, Tang An also met with Ma Yun, Huayi is about to go public, and the shareholders' meeting has been held several times to determine the number of shares to be issued, pricing methods, fundraising projects, the principle of profit distribution and the issuance of the board of directors.

The man who was not good-looking, spoke kindly, and chatted with Tang An about the movie for a while, but the pressure on Tang An was even greater than Han Sanping.

Maybe it was the coercion of the richest man later.

As soon as the words fell, before Zhang Yijun could name him, someone immediately spoke.

"Does Director Tang have anything to do with New Oriental?"

Reporter Li is not short of smart people, English tutoring, or a partnership of three people, immediately associated with New Oriental.

"The inspiration does come from New Oriental, and I have also consulted with Yu Dong and them about some entrepreneurial experiences. ”

Tang An did not deny it, and said truthfully.

In other words, this movie is about the entrepreneurial process of New Oriental, right? ”

"Is this a biographical film?"

"Of course not, this is an original movie, and the movie should pay attention to the story, and it will not copy Yu Dong's energy. ”

Biographical films seem to always have a conflict between the biographer and the director, most of the good-looking movies make the biographer very dissatisfied, and the movies that the biographer is satisfied with usually make the audience very dissatisfied.

In 2002, Haier funded the filming of a biographical film "CEO" by the founder Zhang Ruiming, which was a film approved by Zhang Ruiming, but the plot was flat and the characters were monotonous.

As an entrepreneur, Zhang Ruiming's success has been widely recognized, but as a movie actor, Zhang Ruiming makes the audience want to sleep.

......

Then several leading actors also introduced themselves.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Xiaoming, playing Cheng Dongqing, one of the partners. ”

"I'm Deng Chao, playing Meng Xiaojun, one of the partners. ”

"I'm Lu Yi, playing Wang Yang, one of the partners. ”

"I'm Du Xian, playing Cheng Dongqing's first girlfriend Su Mei. ”

"I'm Wan Qian, playing Meng Xiaojun's wife Liangqin. ”

......

Two hours later, the press conference ended.

"Everyone has something to eat, and then we'll take the car directly to Tianjing, and if we have time, we may have to shoot a scene. ”

"Wang Xiaoming, you eat more meat, how has the fat gain effect been in the past month or so. ”

"Director Tang, my little belly is up, and I have practiced my muscles for a year. ”

Wang Xiaoming felt bitter in his heart, he had eaten a lot during this time, and his standard figure was ruined like this.

The key thing is that if he takes over a play that asks him to work out next year, it will be too torturous.

After eating, saying goodbye to Wang Zhongjun and Huayi's executives, Tang An took the crew to the car and drove towards Tianjing.
