Chapter 212: Wang Zhongjun's Ambition!(Second Update!)
Tang An continued, "This year's "The Wind" broke 200 million, if "Assembly" can beat "Vote for Fame", it is not a problem for the theater chain to get enough films next year, at least it will not be much less than "Red Cliff", which has been released for a week......."
"Well, since Mr. Tang is so confident, then Huayi must give full support, and next year's summer file, there will be "Red Cliff" for a while!"
Wang Zhongjun finally made up his mind, this is an excellent opportunity, if he can kill "Red Cliff" next year, Feng Xiaogang has no opponent in the Lunar New Year file, and it is likely to dominate the box office champion of the summer file and the Chinese New Year file for two consecutive years.
If it can really be realized, Huayi will be able to surpass Berner and become the largest private film company in the mainland, and achieve all-round transcendence in film and television production and distribution!
It was temporarily determined that it would be released in the summer, and it was decided not to disclose it to the public first, as far as the three of them knew, they were caught off guard by "Red Cliff".
After Tang An left, Wang Zhonglei immediately said loudly, "Big brother, do you really want to be tough on "Red Cliff"?"
"Didn't you hear what I said, what about "Red Cliff"!"
"But let's not talk about whether you can win or not, I'm afraid Han Dong will be unhappy!" Wang Zhonglei said with a worried face.
Han Sanping contacted more than a dozen companies at home and abroad to jointly invest and distribute films, and all domestic films avoided them with interest, first, knowing that they were not opponents, and secondly, they were also currying favor with Han Sanping.
"Don't worry about this, even if you kill "Red Cliff", it can only show that Wu Yusen's ability is not good, and Han Dong is a little unhappy in his heart, and he can't do anything about it, so he won't be embarrassed for us!" Wang Zhongjun waved his hand.
"What if you lose? Wu Yusen's popularity in the mainland is not low, and the lineup of "Red Cliff" is not weak!"
"Tang An's analysis just now is good, Wu Yusen's blockbuster failed in Hollywood's two blockbusters "Wind Whisperer" and "Hulk", and he is not good at big scenes at all!"
"In terms of box office appeal, Tang An is no worse than him!"
"And this "Red Cliff" has an investment of 80 million US dollars, and it is impossible for the mainland to return to its original cost, so it can only rely on the overseas box office, and it will inevitably be the same as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", catering to overseas audiences, and there is a high probability that the reputation is not good!"
"No matter what, next year is a great opportunity to defeat "Red Cliff", Zhang Yimou is not in the Lunar New Year, and win the summer file and the Lunar New Year file at the same time!"
"50 million publicity money is not enough, 100 million, I will smash "Red Cliff" to death!" Wang Zhongjun said fiercely.
wants to use money to smash "Red Cliff", which invested 80 million US dollars, if outsiders hear it, they will probably die of laughter.
But if you think about it, this $80 million is estimated to be the limit of what a few companies can come up with, and if you add additional costs, every extra few million will make it exponentially more difficult to make a profit, and not everyone is happy!
And if Tang An's new film really does what he said, with an investment of 70 or 80 million, it will cost another 100 million and less than 200 million in publicity expenses!
Wang Zhonglei silently stopped talking, and the 100 million publicity fee was spread out, and people thought they were crazy.
Wang Zhongjun knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw him, and scolded with some hatred, "When can you look farther, if you can win the box office championship of the summer file and the Chinese New Year file in a row next year, when the company goes public in 09, don't say that this is only 100 million, and one billion can be earned!"
Wang Zhonglei reacted at this time, it turned out that Wang Zhongjun was listed in 09, and he couldn't help but admire.
"Big brother, I'm short-sighted!"
"Take one step at a time and look at three steps in everything, quickly sort out the company's accounts in the past two years, and take them to the Securities Regulatory Commission for review, 18 months of audit cycle, as soon as possible!"
"Also, convene a meeting between shareholders and all the company's contracted artists and directors before the end of the year to raise share capital!"
......
Tang An returned to his office, read the newspapers and news, and the entertainment page was still reporting on "Painted Skin".
Recently, he has received several phone calls, all of which are medium-sized film and television companies, trying to poach him with shares.
There are also some recommended actors, and "Painted Skin" is also a costume blockbuster, and there are not a few in a year.
However, Tang An didn't pay attention to this film, Pang Hong and Wu Ershan were doing the preparations, Xu Yanyun was staring, and Berner also sent someone to keep an eye on it, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Even if these news are for the promotion of the movie, he has no intention of clarifying, anyway, it has no impact on himself.
However, when I saw the source of the news, it was said by Cheng Jiashang during the interview, and it was really ghostly, and I didn't cry when I saw the coffin!
Now that Wu Ershan is still familiar with the script, the original script of Cheng Jiashang definitely needs to be changed, and some minor adjustments will be made without changing the main storyline.
In mid-September, Tang An was invited to give a lecture at the Beijing Film Academy.
This was an invitation handed to him shortly after the start of school, and Tang An was confused at that time.
No matter where they are, academics have always looked down on wild people.
Especially Tang An, who can't be wild anymore, hasn't even done photography or assistant director for famous directors.
At first, Tang An thought he was going to give a lecture to the students of the directing department, but later I learned that it was mainly for the students of the acting department, and he would also come to listen to the photography department and the screenwriting department.
And it's not just the Beijing Film Academy, it is a lecture held together with several schools in the capital, led by the Beijing Film Academy.
The content of the lecture is also for him to teach future actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, and artists how to do their own things on the set as a director.
Before I knew it, I actually went to give a lecture to the students of the film school.
This is the glory brought to him by the box office of 245 million, the box office champion of the year, and the second person in the total box office.
Director, after all, it still depends on the box office!
Looking at successful people all over the world, who is successful and famous, they don't lecture everywhere.
For example, Jack Ma gave lectures to famous foreign schools, and also set up a lakeside university in Nanjing and Hangzhou.
Similar to the Huangpu Military Academy in the business world, Jackma served as the first principal.
Even Jack Ma and Twist Vine were invited by the Central Committee for Justice and Law to give lectures in the Great Hall of the People.
Let's take a look at who is sitting in the audience listening to the lecture, the top leader of the Rectification Committee took the lead, and the leaders of the Supreme Scissors, the Supreme Justice, the Pot Security Department, the Public Case Department, and the Siqi Department were all present, and the more than 1.5 million Rectification Law comrades who were not on duty, handling cases, or on duty at that time all watched the live video broadcast at the same time.
This is awesome, bull with a capital letter!
To put it mildly, Cheng Guanxi later went to New York University to give lectures.
Therefore, lecturing to the elite, or to the future elite, is also a sign of a successful person.
Think about it, there are a lot of lectures, and this one is very awesome in the future, but he has heard me lecture before, and that one is very famous, and I have taught him before.
In the morning, I drove alone to the Beijing Film Academy on Xitucheng Road, Haidian District, and there were already several school teachers waiting at the door.
"Hello Director Tang!" The leader is a middle-aged man with eyes, who is the deputy director of the acting department, and he is kind and angry.
"It's Director Liu, hello!"
Tang An shook hands with Director Liu and greeted several other teachers one by one, but he seemed to be a little disapproving.
Also, they are all teachers, and their students are now asking an outsider to give a lecture, which makes them feel a little unhappy.
"Director Tang, thank you for taking the time to teach our students, everyone is looking forward to your coming, not only a few of our schools, but even the students of the Demon Capital have arrived. Director Liu said with a smile.
"Director Liu is polite, it's my honor!" Tang An smiled.
