Chapter 230: The Spring Breeze Loses Its Feet (Fourth Update, Asking for Subscription!)
After a brief silence, sporadic chattering began to erupt.
"I heard you right, from the magic trick of Omen to steal the money from the Bank of Singapore, these two places are not close to each other!"
"Didn't Tang An say it, more than 2,000 kilometers!"
"This idea is really amazing, it deserves to be Tang An, I really want to see how it was robbed in the movie as soon as possible!"
"Actually, it's nothing to look at, it must be using blindfolding, high-tech or something!"
"Nonsense, is it really conjured out of thin air, then it's not magic but magic!"
"Even if you use high technology, it should be reasonable, Aomen and Singapore can only pass by plane and boat, plus other times, it will take four or five hours!"
......
The discussion became louder and louder, and after going on for a while, the reporter remembered to ask Tang An questions for more details.
However, Tang An just didn't talk about it now, announced a story roughly, and avoided talking about the specific content of the film.
The reporters were also itchy by Tang An's anger.
You wanted to say it when you didn't ask just now, but now it's half of it, and it's appetizing.
It's like the goddess has teased you a few times, making you start to feel like you can counterattack and then kick it away, telling you that you are dreaming!
The reporters still didn't give up, and asked several times in a row, but Tang An was not fooled at all.
In desperation, the reporters began to think about opening the gap from several leading actors.
"Deng Chao, hello, how did it feel to star in a commercial blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions for the first time?"
"The movie hasn't started filming yet, but I'm already starting to get excited in my heart, and I'm 100% ready to meet the challenge and live up to the trust of Director Tang and Wang Dong!"
"Can you tell us about your role?"
"My role is to be the leader of this magic team, and I am a very professional magician, who is good at tricks. ”
"Then why did your team rob the bank, and what was the specific course of action?"
It's okay to ask anything else, as soon as the specific question is mentioned, Deng Chao also began to talk about him left and right.
After filming for so many years, this level is still there.
It's the same when I ask Liu Ye next, the old oilman keeps blowing each other.
"Hello Tang Yan, it is understood that you have only graduated from the Central Academy of Drama for less than two years, and you have played the role of the number one female in a big production in such a short time, which is unique in the past ten years, what is the reason why you can play this role?"
To say something less tactful, it is to ask what is your relationship with Tang An!
It's no wonder that the reporter asked, 25 years old, less than two years after graduation, starring in the blockbuster female number one, even Zhang Ziyi does not have this treatment.
"My Father and Mother" is a medium-budget movie, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the second female lead, and "The Legend of Shu Mountain" and "Hero" are also the second female lead.
It wasn't until 04, the fourth year after graduation, that she starred as the female number one in the first big production "Ambush on All Sides"!
A comparison is clear at a glance, with the support of Tang An, a great director, I am afraid that the future achievements are likely to catch up with Zhang Ziyi.
In the face of this sharp question, Tang Yan did not show timidity, and still smiled and said, "I am also very grateful to Director Tang for giving me this opportunity, as a rookie actor, I am honored to play this role, and at the same time I am very apprehensive, I asked Director Tang why he chose me, because I felt that I had the experience of performing on a big stage like the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games, and I was also a ...... who often had to perform magic tricks in front of many audiences in the movie."
Then Deng Kai, who is a pure newcomer, was also asked similar questions, and he had prepared the answers before and dealt with them one by one.
Several other actors also said a few words more or less, and finally asked Deng Chao to perform a few more card tricks and tricks, and this start-up conference is over!
Move to the nearby Qunxian Banquet Hall, entertain guests in the industry for a meal at noon, and then fly to Aomen in the afternoon to prepare for filming.
"I'll take them directly to the plane later, and I may not be back to the capital for more than two months, so you can make up ......your own mind about what happens in the studio."
After Tang An dealt with it, he took a plate and filled it with something, and said to Xu Yanyun on the side.
There are basically no problems with "The Wind" that cooperated for the first time, Zhao Jun is also very obedient, plus the production director and several producers are their own people, this time Xu Yanyun does not need to follow the crew, after all, it is so far away.
"I know, don't worry!" Xu Yanyun nodded, signaling Tang An to film with peace of mind.
"The most important thing is the account problem, and every expense on Huayi's side must be accounted for clearly!"
This time, "Shocking Demon Thieves" invested 120 million, of which the production cost was 70 million, and the estimated publicity cost was 50 million, which is also rare.
The salaries of the actors in the 70 million add up to more than 5 million, most of which are used for shooting and special effects.
This time, Tang An also got a higher share.
Originally, "The Wind" was 30% investment + director's remuneration into shares, which was counted as a 30% share, after all, Tang An's studio did not have any resources, everything in the crew was prepared by Huayi, and publicity was also Huayi's resources, so the reduction ratio was certain.
But now Tang An's personal total box office has reached 700 million, and the box office of a single film is 245 million, which is a step higher than this time last year.
The share of remuneration has reached 10%, and the studio only needs to invest 25% to get 30%.
The distribution fee has also been reduced to 8% according to his status as a 200 million director.
With a publicity cost of 50 million, the more money there is, the easier it is for the accounts to exploit loopholes, and it must be supervised from the early publicity.
At this time, Yu Dong came over with a wine glass and touched a glass with Tang An.
"I wish Director Tang a smooth filming and return as soon as possible!" Yu Dong said with a smile.
"I borrowed it from Dong Jiyan!"
""Painted Skin" still depends on Dong Duo to stare at it. ”
"That's nature, this Tang Dao, please rest assured. ”
Yu Dong turned around and said, "By the way, Director Tang, "Painted Skin" is scheduled to be released on the National Day, so is "Shocking Demon Thieves" ready to compete for the New Year?"
Like ordinary people, Yu Dong doesn't think that Tang An will be released in the summer, not to mention that the time is so tight now, just "Red Cliff" co-released by him and China Film is enough to discourage everyone.
"Painted Skin" is a National Day file, Tang An can't beat himself by himself, and it happens that Zhang Yimou is not there, even a fool will choose the New Year file, after all, this is the hottest schedule in China, and the champions of the past six or seven years were born in November and December.
"The Assembly", which is still in theaters, is also about to break the record set by "The Wind".
"I'll see this when the time comes, let's talk about it when the film is finished, I don't know if it can be successfully completed!" Tang An shook his head in distress.
"Then Director Tang will notify me then, and I can arrange a schedule to avoid Director Tang's movies. Yu Dong laughed.
This year's Chinese New Year file Berner is going to release "Mei Lanfang" directed by Chen Kaige, and even the costume blockbuster failed, and he doesn't have much hope for this biographical movie, so he can only see how many people can attract Chen Kaige's fame to buy it.
And Feng Xiaogang will definitely not be idle, the Lunar New Year file will definitely not be absent, and he must find a glimmer of life before the two blockbusters.
Ay!
Yu Dong has also been worried recently, Huayi has two major directors, and he doesn't have to worry about the films every year, and last year he surpassed Berner's market share for the first time.
The costume war film "Casting the Name", which prefers to die or die, lost to the modern war film "Assembly".
remembered that Wang Zhongjun has become more and more proud recently, and frequently said in interviews that Huayi is already the leader of domestic private film and television companies.
Yu Dong looked at the young Tang An, and could only hope that Tang An and Feng Xiaogang, the old and the young, would have some contradictions, it would be better to go one, and it would be better to go both!
Tang An and Yu Dong were chatting here, and Wu Bo didn't know where he suddenly came out.
"Is Director Tang talking about the schedule? Next year's summer file is not a good time, maybe Director Tang can try the New Year file!"
Wu Bo was full of smiles on his face, the filming of "Red Cliff" went smoothly, the completion is imminent, and dominating the entire summer file is just around the corner, and Tang Yan got a female number one from Tang An, don't be too happy, and now Tang An is not so unpleasant.
"Thank you Wu Dong for your suggestion, I still have to discuss with Wang Dong, this schedule is not something I can say alone!" Tang An smiled and said.
Seeing that Tang An really wanted to take the initiative to avoid it, Wu Bo felt more relieved, and it was also a good publicity selling point to make the box office champion of the summer stalls retreat for three consecutive years!
Even the publicity theme was well thought of: ""Red Cliff" is powerful, and the three-time summer box office champion can't avoid it!"
Thinking of this, Wu Bo felt much more comfortable when he was put on the spot by Tang An, and remembered that he still had hundreds of thousands of dollars to settle, so he smiled and said.
"Mr. Tang, has the box office share of Ribenzene's side arrived?"
"Not yet, the other party said that the release time is not uniform, and the settlement method in some countries is not the same, so it will take a while longer. Tang An didn't know what he meant, whether he wanted to show off or what he was doing, so he said the reply from the Japanese side.
Wu Bo was surprised when he heard this, and then pretended to be angry and said, "How can this be, isn't this a violation of the rules, Director Tang, don't worry, I'll urge them to end the box office when I go back, anyway, this is what I introduced to Director Tang!"
Wu Bo's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was really aggravating Tang An's grievances.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars, anyway, it was originally Tang An's, and it couldn't be delayed for too long, so I returned it to him while I was in a good mood, just to show my ability!
Looking at Wu Bo, who was returning from the excitement, Tang An felt disdainful for a while, the movie was so inflated before it was released.
Wait for the old paper to kill "Red Cliff", and see if you can still laugh!
Yu Dong, who was listening to them all the time on the side, smiled and said, "Director Tang, what are you and Wu Dong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the share of "Super Body" in Japan has not been settled, less than one million US dollars. Tang An waved his hand.
"So that's the case, but Wu Dong has been proud of the spring breeze recently!"
Yu Dong sighed, if Chengtian took advantage of the east wind of "Red Cliff" to become a new domestic giant in one fell swoop, plus the new envy, it would become a melee between the four countries, and the situation would become more and more chaotic!
Although Berner is also the No. 1 publisher of "Red Cliff", he really doesn't want to see Chengtian continue to grow.
"When the spring breeze is proud, there are times when the horse stumbles, Yu Dong, do you really think that "Red Cliff" will be successful?" Tang An drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and smiled faintly.
"Oh, what does Director Tang mean?" Yu Dong said curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm just guessing what kind of movie director Wu Yusen can make!" Tang An smiled.
Yu Dong thoughtful!
