Chapter 186: Exploring the Wind (Third Update, Asking for Subscription!)
After staying in Huayi all morning, Tang An wanted to go to Zhongying to meet Han Sanping, but after thinking about it, he still asked Lin Sheng to come out to explore the wind.
At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, at a private restaurant not far from China Film, no one had yet arrived.
I discussed it with Wang Zhongjun in the morning, although Tang An's words made him pay a little attention to "Transformers", but it was only a little.
Now that the movie has not been released in the United States, and even the publicity has not officially begun, there is almost no sound from the outside world, and it is reasonable not to pay attention to it, after all, not everyone can predict the future.
I have the impression that "Transformers" is about to break 100 million in the first 5 days, and it can still get about 10 million on the second week, and there should be 30 million on the weekend.
In other words, on the first weekend of the release of "The Wind", "Transformers" could get 50 million in four days.
This is already the result of the first weekend of "Super Body"!
Considering that "The Wind" occupies a part of the market, it can get at least more than 30 million.
With Tang An's current popularity among the audience, it must be higher than Uncle Gao Yu and Chen Guozhang combined.
With the same cast, the release time is only two years apart, and it is even a more popular summer file than the National Day file, and the box office will not be lower than the original.
There is a great certainty that it will surpass "Transformers" in the first weekend, as long as you stick to the second week, with the reputation of the movie, you can definitely stabilize "Transformers".
Lin Sheng's arrival interrupted Tang An's thoughts, and hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.
"Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's rare to have a chance to treat you to dinner!"
Then let the waiter serve the food.
Lin Sheng put down his suit and quipped, "You're not busy doing the later stage, and you still have time to eat with me!"
"You can cook work at any time, and you can't wait to eat!" Tang An smiled.
While chatting, the dishes also came up, all of which were specialties.
While eating, I exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Brother Lin's position as the director of the distribution department has been decided, right?"
"No, Wang Dong is in charge for the time being, it's still empty!"
Tang An laughed, "Then congratulations to Brother Lin, isn't this position vacant waiting for you here!"
One of the most powerful departments in China Film, it is impossible to keep the position of the top leader vacant for a long time, especially if the former leader is also concurrent.
Obviously, this is to let Lin Sheng stay up for a while, after all, he has only been appointed as deputy director for a short time.
"It's still early, maybe... Maybe!" Lin Sheng said with a wave of his hand.
That's right, but the smile on his face can't be hidden.
Tang An picked up the wine glass, touched one with him, and said with a smile after taking a sip, "It's not early, it is estimated that it will be the end of the year, I will wish Brother Lin a high promotion first!"
After blowing a few words to each other, Tang An got down to business.
swallowed a large piece of stewed beef brisket with tomatoes in his mouth, wiped his mouth and said, "Brother Lin, you also know that "The Wind" is scheduled to be released in the summer, and Wang Dong has decided to release it with you. ”
"You don't have to worry about the distribution, the theater chain will arrange the best theater and the best show for "The Wind" with your eyes closed!" Lin Sheng said with a smile.
As the only few directors with 100 million yuan in China, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Zhou Xingchi in front of Tang An have no new films released, and if you think about it with your toes, you know that his "The Wind" is definitely the highlight of the year.
Although this is just a spy war movie!
Top directors are regardless of the category, otherwise Feng Xiaogang will change to a different type of movie every year!
The box office in the first two days relied on the appeal of directors and actors, and then it was up to quality to speak.
"This year's summer file should not be underestimated, Jay Chou's new film directed and acted in, Xie Tingfeng's "The True Colors of Men", Donnie Yen's "Fuse", and two Hollywood blockbusters!"
"You are modest, there is no threat to these movies, as long as the quality of the movies is guaranteed, last year's summer file is a copy of this year!" Lin Sheng said with a smile.
"Schellingo has said it!"
"By the way, Wang Dong is going to arrange for the release on July 19th, and there will be a "Transformers" a week before, what does Brother Lin think of this film?"
"This film is estimated to be fifty or sixty million, and the protagonists are all robots, which is similar to watching cartoons, and you can sell special effects!" Lin Sheng said casually.
"We have prepared 500 copies, which is almost enough, but "Harry Potter" has been "Harry Potter" 100 more, after all, the series is guaranteed!"
Under normal operation, Hollywood blockbusters are generally five or six hundred copies, and it is impossible to have thousands of copies like domestic blockbusters.
The publicity cost of a domestic blockbuster is usually about 10 million, but who will pay for the imported film.
Zhongying paid it himself?
No way!
To expand the scale of distribution, it is necessary to increase the cost of publicity, otherwise no matter how many films are scheduled, it will be in vain for the audience not to know.
After lunch, Tang An still got some information, China Film's attitude towards this film is similar to that of other imported films, and the early publicity and distribution must not be in place so quickly.
When "The Wind" is released and overwhelms "Transformers", under the premise of "The Wind's super high reputation", it will be difficult to surpass it later.
......
In the time after that, Tang An began to be busy doing post-production, Huayi has an editing room, but there is no need to go to Huairou to do post-production.
On July 19, Tang An came to a cinema in Xicheng District to attend the premiere of the movie "Parting is Love" starring Tang Yan.
The low-budget digital films invested by the movie channel, from the director to the actors, are not well-known.
The film is like this, and the premiere is the same.
There were five or six reporters, and the attendance was less than half.
Orange Sky didn't send anyone either, only Tang Yan's agent Qi Ru came.
Of course, the other members of the Seven Princesses are unlikely to come to cheer!
Tang An should have become the biggest character on the scene, and when he was still in the passage, director Zhou Wei greeted him and took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
"Hello Mr. Tang, welcome to the premiere!"
"Hello Director Zhou!" Tang An responded lightly.
Tang An's attitude did not make Zhou Wei dissatisfied, and he was still full of flattery and welcomed Tang An in.
Several actors were talking in the screening room, and Tang Yan, who was wearing a long white dress, was also among them.
As soon as she saw Tang An coming in, she hurriedly trotted over.
"Brother An, you're here. ”
Tang An smiled at her, "Fortunately, I wasn't late, and the road conditions are better today." ”
Director Zhou Wei walked away very interestingly and ran to greet the reporters.
"It's good to star in a movie so soon, it's much better than 90% of the actors!"
"It's just a small-budget movie, and I don't know if there will be an audience. Tang Yan said with some unconfidence.
"Don't worry, the audience will like it!" Tang An comforted.
Suddenly, Tang An noticed a somewhat unkind gaze, and frowned and looked in that direction.
Several other actors all looked at this side, with different expressions, envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Seeing Tang An looking over, he immediately put away his gaze.
A young man in his early 20s walked this way, and judging from the only poster outside, it should be the male lead.

There is one more chapter in the early hours of the morning
