Chapter 263: First Lose (Four Shifts Completed!)
After the premiere, Huayi held a dinner at the Asia Hotel next door to the Gongti Basketball Park.
As the host, Wang Zhongjun thanked him first, and Tang An also said a few words casually.
Tang An and the CEOs of several major companies got together, toasted together, and then said with a smile, "CEOs, what do you think of the movie?"
"Wonderful, to be honest, it's completely beyond my imagination!" Wang Zhongjun immediately answered.
"Wang Dong, you said this as if you were watching it for the first time. ”
"This is a bit of a suspicion of boasting, Wang Dong punished himself with a cup!"
"Yu Dong is wrong, the movie is really exciting, every time I watch it, I feel like I don't know it, even if I am prepared, I am still amazed. ”
Wang Zhongjun was not embarrassed at all, and his face remained unchanged.
"Actually, to be honest, Director Tang's film this time is completely beyond my imagination, I thought it was to perform a few magic tricks on stage in a decent manner, but I didn't expect it to be not only magic, but also action, thriller, suspense, and car chasing, that's called a hearty one!"
Yu Dong sighed secretly, this is already the fourth theme, judging from the reaction of the audience, it is even more enthusiastic than when "Red Cliff" was released.
and has enough film scheduling and publicity resources to support, and it is likely to burst out with energy that is not inferior to "Red Cliff".
But when you think about it, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
There are more new themes, and the scope of audience acceptance is becoming wider and wider, and the new films they are preparing with the theme of the Republic of China are also more acceptable to the audience.
The CEOs of several other companies thought it was something else.
In fact, many companies have been learning from Tang An's films, and people have followed suit in every genre.
The most are horror movies, which are basically must-have every year.
Spy warfare and sci-fi have also been tried, but due to actors, plots and special effects, the profit is not as good as that of horror films.
Investing too much is risky.
Now this magic theme can be considered, after all, it is still a routine of general action movies, and magic is added throughout the whole process.
Although the cost is high, and more than 100 million production costs are spent on the premise of not inviting big-name actors, they can save those places that burn money.
Even adding elements of magic to romance films and horror movies must not be bad.
Tang An and Yu Dong came to the side, he first congratulated Tang An and talked about "Painted Skin".
"Director Tang, have you seen the finished film of "Painted Skin"?"
"Yu Dong, how can I have this time, I have hardly stopped in the past few months, wait for a while, I'll take the time to take a look after I'm busy for a while, anyway, it's also a National Day release. Tang An smiled bitterly.
He didn't have the energy to pay attention to "Painted Skin", and he didn't watch a copy of it after Ningxia Studios edited it.
It will be released at the end of September, even if there are any problems, it will be too late, and Yu Dong will no longer urge.
"Shocking Demon Thieves" seems to be the box office will not be low, Feng Xiaogang's comedy will not have any opponents in the Chinese New Year, seeing that Hua Yi is going to press him again this year, Yu Dong is not happy.
"Painted Skin" is the only blockbuster left in their company, and now he can only hope that this movie that Tang An has set his eye on will surprise him.
Tang An remembered something and asked, "Yu Dong, it seems that you will release a "Keep Talking" at the end of September, there should be no problem with the schedule, right?"
"There are not many movies released on the National Day, and "Keep Talking" will not have any impact on "Painted Skin". Yu Dong signaled to him to rest assured.
Tang An nodded, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Dong Ping, chairman of Huayi Media, who was laughing with people not far away.
"Speaking of Yu Dong, there are a lot of movies released this year, and the ones that have not yet been released include "Ten Perfect", "Deserted Village Inn", and "Women Are Not Bad", and this year's performance is much better than last year. ”
Yu Dong didn't know what Tang An was doing when he talked about this, so he shook his head helplessly, "There are nearly 10 small and medium-cost films released in the second half of the year, but if you add up to half of the box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves", I will be satisfied." ”
"Didn't Huayi make a film this year?"
"Yes, there are, but they are all small-budget movies, and I can't find a suitable director. ”
Jiang Wen left Poly Huayi, Huayi lost the only big director, and the remaining Zhao Baogang is still a TV series director, and there seems to be no one else except Ye Daying.
Now everyone understands that blockbusters can not find big stars, but they can't help but find big directors, and no one dares to start a big project without a big director.
"The Beauty of the Mountains", "The Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", and "Ink Attack" are all good examples.
Tang An nodded, "Huayi doesn't have many films to produce now, and it doesn't seem that there will be a few films next year, and film and television production is not easy to do now." ”
Tang An inexplicably said so many words, which made Yu Dong a little strange.
But the words are still reasonable, he cooperated with Huayi back then because he took a fancy to Huayi's filming ability, and it was also because of Huayi that he got to where he is today.
Now that Berner is slowly getting bigger, Huayi is slowly going downhill, maybe it's time to get rid of this shackle.
Yu Dong took a sip of the wine in the glass, shook it in his hand, and stared at the cup in a daze.
Tang An smiled and walked away, and celebrities from all walks of life kept coming up to toast.
The party lasted until 11 o'clock, and the hotel sent someone to drive Tang An's car to see him back.
I still drank some wine and went to take a shower first.
There was still more than an hour before the box office came out, and Tang An casually flipped through the news.
On today's propaganda front, "Red Cliff" and "Shocking Demon Thieves" are almost four or six open, and they can barely be regarded as chess opponents.
However, this is already the limit of what the other party can do, and Huayi has only spent a little more than 30 million in a month now.
There are also 70 million, which are used in the remaining 20 days or so, and they almost occupy an absolute advantage in publicity.
Even if all this money is spent, the total cost is only 170 million, which is a little higher than the cost of ordinary blockbusters.
There is no need to worry about returning to the capital, but I have earned the title of a top director in two consecutive movies, and I still can't make much money without making money.
Grasping money with one hand, grasping fame with the other, and using both hands is the last word!
"Painted Skin" can recoup some funds, "People in Embarrassment" spend more money on publicity, plus he is a producer, it should not be difficult to get a box office of 100 million during the Spring Festival.
"People in Embarrassment" was launched immediately after the painting, and "Thai Embarrassment" was launched, and the Chinese New Year file was released in 09.
Although it was 3 years earlier, it was impossible for films such as "Three Guns" and "October Siege" to get a box office of 1 billion, but Tang An could earn 200 million.
There will be enough funds then.
After analyzing the plan in my mind, time passed slowly, and the hour hand pointed to the middle of 12 and 1.
I turned on my computer, and the email came in my mailbox on time.
Let's take a look at the box office of "Red Cliff" first, yesterday Wednesday was still 11 million at the box office.
And the box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves" has also been counted.
With the development of time, in the past, it took an hour to count the box office data in a timely manner across the country.
After selling out the tickets for the zero point show at 12 o'clock, it takes more than 1 o'clock or even half a point to count the box office.
Now it's only 20 minutes to count.
A full 1,500 zero-point games, with a box office of 4.5 million, is Tang An's new personal record.
However, it is still a little lower than the more than 5 million in "Red Cliff", after all, the other party is a war blockbuster that has made the audience wait for more than two years.
It's better to lose one game first, and then find the game later.
The movie is released, and the publicity should be renewed, and the money should be used at the critical moment!
