"This Tang An's tone is really getting bigger and bigger!"

Not far from the infield, several industry bigwigs also heard Tang An say about four billion.

Although the scene was very noisy, and Tang An was surrounded by a group of reporters, but since Tang An personally said the figure of four billion, the reporters around him became more and more excited, and most of them were shouting and discussing, and the people next to him basically heard their "paraphrase".

"It was still 3 billion last year, and it will rise by 1 billion after a year, no matter how it hasn't risen like this. ”

Yu Dong shook his head slightly in the crowd, he has been in the industry for nearly 20 years, and he can be said to be one of the most senior figures in the domestic film industry, and he thinks that his understanding of the film industry is no longer below anyone.

The domestic market is developing rapidly, and in just over a decade, it has just begun to be commercialized to the world's second largest film market, with a total box office increase of more than 30% every year.

Judging from the fact that the North American market has barely grown in the past decade, it is possible that the mainland will surpass North America to become the world's largest ticket warehouse.

The growth rate of the mainland market is 30%, even at this growth rate, last year's box office champion was still 2.4 billion, and this year it will be 4 billion, which is a bit outrageous.

Wang Changtian smiled bitterly, "Three billion I think it's very promising, but I can't even think of these four billion." ”

Wang Zhongjun said, "But Tang An not only dares to think, but also dares to say, he is really a master of art and bold." ”

The three giants of five years ago felt a lot of emotion, but they did not say anything to mock.

Even Wang Zhongjun, when he heard that Tang An's goal was four billion, he didn't sarcastically mock Tang An at no point.

But I definitely didn't believe it in my heart, and I even wished that Tang An couldn't do it.

Four billion is a number that all filmmakers in China have never thought of, and it is great that 90% of people can set the goal of one billion.

For other famous directors, being able to get one billion is enough to prove their success.

But Tang An gradually raised the mainland film history record to 2.4 billion, and in terms of box office, it is no longer at the same level as other filmmakers.

Just as James Cameron completely left other directors behind other directors at the global box office, if he is now preparing a new film to be released in two years, and he is going to make $4 billion at the global box office, most people will be skeptical, but they may not laugh at him for not being able to do it.

Wang Jianlin set a small goal of 100 million, because he was Wang Jianlin, so no one ridiculed.

Even if he set this small goal of one billion, not many people will be sarcastic about him.

Ah, the raccoon made a profit of more than 23 billion last year, and if Ma Yun said that he would achieve a profit of 400 or even 50 billion this year, not many people would ridicule him.

Tang An has occupied the domestic box office record for four or five years, and he is the only one in the box office, with an empty one in the middle, and then the others.

That is, Tang An has the qualifications to shout out the goal of four billion, even if the others are Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, let alone four billion, even if they shout three billion, they will be ushered in a one-sided sarcasm.

"If this takes four billion at the box office, wouldn't it be this movie that can make one billion from the domestic box office alone?"

Unlike the three of them, Zhang Zhao of Lay's paid attention to a different direction, staring at the money.

Four billion box office, Han Tang released it himself, and the distribution share and production share added up to almost 1.7 billion, while the production cost was 500 million, the publicity was 100 million, and there was a profit of 11 billion.

Even if Haizheng and some capital occupy a small part of the investment, Tang An's personal directing and screenwriting fees are 100 million, and it is not a problem to have a profit of 1 billion at the box office alone.

Ahri made a profit of more than 23 billion last year, Wanda 15 billion, and Baidu 13 billion.

The profits directly generated by a movie alone are one billion, and the real numbers are really scary.

Zhang Zhao instantly thought of Lay's Pictures' parent company Lay's last year, and its annual profit was only 320 million.

Although this is on the premise of breaking 4 billion, even if it is only 3 billion, the profit of such a movie is comparable to the profit of Lay's for the whole year.

Zhang Zhao is eyes are hot, and at the same time he regrets it very much, if he can continue to cooperate with Tang An and drink soup behind, it will be better than now.

rejected Yang Mi's investment in the sequel to "Little Times", and Yang Mi also let Xiaodi withdraw from the next series, Zhang Zhao originally thought that the movie was relying on Guo Jinming's fame, and it didn't matter.

It turns out that it really doesn't matter.

also because of this incident, the cooperation with Hantang was interrupted.

In the first two years, Zhang Zhao didn't care, Lay's Pictures developed rapidly, but in recent years, the "Taiping Wheel" invested in the fiasco of collection, Lay's, as one of the guarantors and investors, is the biggest loss.

Because he invested too much in "Taiping Wheel", even Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" could not afford to invest too much money.

The film and television industry is developing too fast, Berner was one of the big three, and it is also unlimited to be listed on the NASDAQ.

However, the U.S. stock market was delayed for several years, and the market value was less than 10 billion at the time of delisting, while Huayi's market value was more than 30 billion at that time.

Berner is still like this, and if Lay's Pictures is delayed for two years, it may be even worse.

Zhang Zhao is in desperate need of good projects now, and last year's summer file affected "Small Times 3" because of Ke Zhendong's sucking, which directly affected the merger of Lay's Pictures into Lay's.

Last month, Jia Leting re-reached an acquisition agreement with them, and Lay's acquired 100% of the shares of Lay's Pictures for 9.8 billion.

The valuation is much more inflated, and Lay's Pictures and Lay's signed a gambling agreement, and the net profit of Lay's Pictures will reach 5.2, 7.3, and 1.04 billion in the next three years, with a total of 2.29 billion in three years.

It was another VAM agreement, and Zhang Zhao and the other shareholders made a lot of money, but the pressure was also greater.

Now he helped Tang An calculate an account, and Zhang Zhao's heart became more and more hot.

If you can cooperate with Hantang, then there will be no problem with the VAM agreement.

......

Regarding the number of four billion, several CEOs chatted, and Tang An walked over to this side after accepting the interview.

"Thank you for your support. ”

Tang An smiled and greeted them one by one.

Wang Changtian sighed and said, "Tang Dong, your opening is four billion, which really makes us embarrassed." ”

Tang An waved his hand and said with a smile, "There must be a goal, although it is difficult to achieve four billion, I am still relatively confident, and everything is still decided by the market." ”

Yu Dong said helplessly, "If I shout a billion goal in the future, I'm embarrassed to say it." ”

That's up to me!

Tang An shook his head secretly, "Judging from the current market, in a few years, one billion box office will be the norm, and a dozen or twenty billion box office movies can be released a year." ”

"I also admire Tang Dong's courage, if you change me, don't dare to say that, don't be embarrassed and embarrassed when the time comes, that is, Tang Dong has this capital. ”

Wang Zhongjun smiled and teased, "But Tang Dong thought about what the outside world would say if it didn't reach four billion, or even if it was too far away." ”

Tang An said confidently, "I haven't thought about this, what I think about the most is the big sales of domestic movies in the summer file, how should those who advocate that the domestic market is occupied by Hollywood movies turn their heads and praise domestic movies." ”

"Haha, what Tang Dong said is right!"

Han Sanping, who was belated, walked over with a laugh, "It is impossible for Hollywood movies to become the mainstream in China, otherwise the commercialization of domestic films in the past ten years would not have failed!"

Although Han Sanping retreated, everyone still greeted them one by one.

Han Sanping responded one by one, and said loudly, "For more than ten years, the commercialization of domestic films has been nearly 20 years now, in 98 Xiangjiang films and Hollywood films entered the domestic market in a large area, and in 98 "Titanic" sold more than 300 million, which directly led to the commercialization of the market and the commercialization of domestic films, and we have persisted for 20 years now, and we have not made the domestic market a backyard for Hollywood blockbusters, and we will not in the future!"

......

Except for Tang An, these filmmakers have basically been engaged in the film industry since the end of the 90s, even Zhang Zhao, who worked for the Magic Shadow Group and a company under the Wuyuan Information Office before joining Guangxian.

Although they are all businessmen and mainly make money, they rely on domestic films to make money, and they don't make much money from imported films.

Blockbusters are basically imported films, and it is too difficult to buy out films to have a hit like "The Expendables", even if there is, most of them are bought out by China Film, and you have to obtain a license through China Film if you buy it.

No one wants the domestic market to be the same as Xiangjiang and Baodao, and it really comes to that point, and they should be like Xiangjiang's film companies, surviving for a long time.

After chatting for a while, the premiere ceremony officially began, and thousands of spectators entered.

Hundreds of large and small media gathered together, 14 satellite TV filmed the film team over, and the premiere ceremony was presided over by the host sent by the movie channel, Beijing Satellite TV, and Tuxing Video.

The host on stage gave an opening remark, and Tang An led the actors to wait on the stage under bursts of cheers and countless flashing lights.

"Hello everyone, thank you for coming to the premiere of "Operation Red Sea" today, after two years of busy work, my results are finally going to meet the audience, although it is not the first time, but the tension is exactly the same as eleven years ago. ”

It's a routine speech, but it's true.

Even if he has confidence in the movie, but before the results come out, Tang An can't be 100% calm, and it would be a lie to say that there is no nervousness or expectation at all.

The ceremony was not much new, I sighed with emotion, complained about the hardships, and talked about how difficult it was to shoot in Africa, how hard the environment was, and how hard the actors worked.

Of course, there are many things that can't be said, such as not being able to say anything bad about Moro, or saying that the local soldiers sell Carter leaves to the crew.

Anyway, you can't "discredit" friends.

The actors also said a few words each, and put some filming tidbits and some explosion scenes to show that filming is not easy and dangerous.

After an hour and a half, the premiere was over and the film was officially screened.

The lights on the scene went out, and the first-generation laser IMAX screen newly introduced by Hantang Cinema Line slowly lit up.

The photoelectric dragon mark, the producer, etc. flashed from the big screen, and a 100,000-ton cargo ship appeared in the middle of the screen, breaking the waves.

Two lines of subtitles in the lower left corner:

Gulf of Aden, 2014.

5,000 nautical miles off the coast of Somalia.

Also known as "Pirate Harbor".

Time and place appeared, since it was a pirate port, there would definitely be pirates.

The feature film began to play, and the audience, whether it was thousands of audiences, the media, and filmmakers in the industry, were all staring intently at the big screen, ready to enjoy this military blockbuster directed by Tang An.

Military movies, watching war scenes, this beginning is in the pirate port, which seems to indicate that there will be a battle with pirates at the beginning, and the audience is looking forward to it more and more.
