"I set myself a small goal, three billion at the box office. ”

Tang An smiled and spit out these words, his tone was not too impassioned, just like what he said before, not in a hurry, as if this was not three billion, but only two or three billion.

But the reporters at the scene were not so calm, Tang An's sentence of three billion was said, and many reporters were still a little confused.

"I heard me right, Tang An just said three billion?"

A reporter in the crowd turned his head in disbelief to look at a colleague he knew.

"I see, I heard it clearly, it's three billion. ”

"I'll go, three billion, it's really a good deal!"

"It's a small goal, but the ultimate goal is not four or five billion. ”

"Niu Pi, Tang An also dares to say that even if there are movies in the world with a single box office of 3 billion yuan in a single region, there are currently only "Titanic", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "The Avengers" and "Avatar", and other superhero movies and the "Star Wars" series have a maximum box office of more than 400 million US dollars in North America.

Next year, "Avengers 2" will definitely not be released, Cameron's new film has not yet been filmed, and the "Batman" trilogy has been filmed, if "Operation Red Sea" can really get a box office of 3 billion, doesn't it mean that the highest-grossing movie in various regions of the world next year is likely to be a Chinese-language movie?"

As soon as they thought of this, the reporters became more and more excited.

They work as entertainment reporters, although the film and television industry has no direct relationship with them no matter what.

But the more prosperous the film and television industry is, the better the future they can have.

At the end of the nineties, the entertainment industry was underdeveloped, and it can even be said that it was very backward.

At that time, some large newspapers were distributed by packages, and there were no special entertainment newspapers, nor entertainment sections, and entertainment news was generally reported in literary supplements.

The layout of the news determines the future of the reporters in charge of this kind of news, and many graduates who had no connections and no connections at that time were assigned to literary supplements.

Just like the difference between government departments such as the Finance Bureau and the Organization Department, and culture, education, and health, they are much worse than other reporters in all aspects.

16 years ago, the 1998 Spring Festival Gala should have been the most exciting one, and it was hosted by He Yu that year, but it only appeared for more than 20 seconds, and the subtitles were given to "He Jiong", and Ya Ning, deputy general manager of the development department of Hantang Media, was also one of the hosts.

That year, Na Ying and Wang Fei sang "Meet in 1998", which became the most popular song of the year, and Liu Dehua, Zhang Xinze, and Mao Twist sang "Great China" together.

There are also many treasure islands and Xiangjiang stars, and many media have sent reporters over during the rehearsal, so it is said that there will be no shortage of news.

As a result, those big newspapers basically put on a program list, and at most one or two photos were added, and the rest were killed as too entertaining.

Entertainment news can't be published because it's too entertaining...

In 98, the country began to rejuvenate the country through science and education, vigorously abolished literary and artistic news, and some literary and artistic sections were reduced to once a week.

At that time, Yu Ji did not interview celebrities the most, but participated in various literary seminars, drank tea and read newspapers, and became an uncle.

Until "Returning the Pearl" became popular, from 98 to 11 years, the music industry changed blood, Liu Ye and Qin Hairu both won the Golden Horse Best Actor, and they became popular overnight, and countless media frantically followed.

There are also film and television dramas co-produced by the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan, before that, Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas still have the opponent of Singapore dramas in the mainland, "People on the Journey", "The End of the World", "Lotus Battle", "Journey to the East", "Little Nyonya" These Singapore TV dramas are smash hits.

At the beginning of the century, a large number of film and television dramas co-produced by the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan appeared, and they became popular rapidly, and a large number of scandals between mainland stars and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars often appeared in front of the masses.

Speculating on CP is not outdated in any era, and stars such as Zhao Wei, Lu Yi, and Huang Lei were often criticized at the beginning, comparing Tang Guoqiang's group of people, saying that they had no knowledge and didn't read enough books.

is also similar to the current media comparing these new-generation stars with the Mesozoic generation, maybe in more than ten years, these post-80s actors should be role models for the 90s and post-00s......

Coupled with the reform of physical fitness, the right time, place and people together, entertainment reporters slowly began to turn over.

It can be said that their future is combined with the development of the entertainment industry, although "Operation Red Sea" broke 3 billion, and the box office of a single film in the mainland surpassed North America for the first time, it was just a record, and it was over in a few days of hype.

But the meaning of this data is different, it affects all aspects, and there are many substantial benefits to the media.

However, these reporters who have studied Tang An in the past ten years are also a little confused, although Tang An was not very modest in the past, but it is still rare to have such a big tone as today.

When "Edge of Tomorrow" broke one billion, Tang An's expectations for "The Martian" were one billion, and the goal of "Interstellar" was still one billion.

After "Interstellar" broke 2 billion, he said in an interview that the goal of "Mysterious Superstar" was also 2 billion.

Two billion is already a huge number for the domestic market, if it were other directors, then others would definitely think they were shouting slogans, for gimmicks and publicity.

But for Tang An, who has already won two billion box office and has never missed, taking another two billion is not bragging at all.

However, 3 billion is completely different, at present, there are only two movies in China that break 2 billion, even if they break 1 billion, there are only two or three a year.

Three billion, whether it is for film and television companies, directors, or for them and other media, it is unimaginable.

It is really strange for journalists to shout three billion in such a high profile, and it is a small target.

But strange is strange, they wish Tang An was a little more public, and the more publicized it was, the more topical it was.

"Hello Director Tang, are you saying that "Operation Red Sea" will be able to get 3 billion box office next summer?"

Tang An smiled and nodded, "That's right, no matter what you do, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and no progress is the biggest failure, and my goal for "Operation Red Sea" is three billion!"

If you don't advance, you will retreat, and this is a fitting phrase for Nokia, which recently acquired the equipment and services division by Microsoft.

Nokia CEO Yomar Ollilah said the last thing he said at the reception when he announced his approval of Microsoft's acquisition: We didn't do anything wrong, but for some reason, we lost. After saying that, dozens of Nokia executives, including him, couldn't help but cry.

This incident has been widely spread, and people can't help but feel an inexplicable sadness.

However, I just don't know which one made it up, and people will believe it when Nokia was acquired, and the CEO had been out for almost two years.

Netizens are also talents, and the sentence made up, combined with Nokia's situation, is quite sad.

That's how it is on the Internet, a lot of the things you see are made up.

But this is true, in any industry, standing still is equivalent to failure, because someone behind you is stepping on you at any time, and it will be difficult for you to catch up at that time.

The reporter asked, "You just said that this is a small goal, so what is the ultimate goal?"

"How high the numbers will be depends on the audience. ”

MMP, it's this sentence again, the oil and salt don't go in.

The reporter who asked scolded in his heart, every time Tang An would say this, everything was handed over to the audience.

The reporter asked, "Can you give us a specific number?"

Tang An said with a smile, "Of course I hope that the higher the better, but it's not up to me, I just make the movie, and the rest is up to the audience." ”

After repeating what he had just said, the reporter stopped asking, and he couldn't ask questions, so it was better to make it up himself.

"Director Tang, what is the specific story of "Operation Red Sea", does it tell about the war that took place in the Red Sea?"

"This is kept secret for the time being, and I will tell you about the official start of the movie later. ”
