Chapter 786: Am I the Next King of Comedy?
"This Tang An, I really think that I am sharp-eyed, and I will be billions and billions at every turn, and I really think that the billions box office is a cabbage!"
Huayi Brothers Group, Wang Zhongjun scoffed when he learned that Tang An was expecting "A Good Show" to break one billion.
Wang Zhonglei said with a smile, "If you can really break one billion, it's not just a sharp eye, then it will become a little stone into gold." ”
"Turning stones into gold?"
Hearing this word, Wang Zhonglei was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "That's right, if Tang An can get a billion box office by casually watching a movie, it can really be regarded as turning a stone into gold." ”
In the past few years, all the movies that Tang An is optimistic about have achieved very good results without exception.
But there must be a limit to this, "Thai Embarrassment" dominated the Spring Festival stalls at the beginning, and the reputation of "People in Embarrassment", plus it was better than the later "Hong Kong Embarrassment", but it failed to break one billion.
Tang An is also very optimistic about "Wolf Warrior", and he is also some distance from a billion.
Although the market is getting bigger, there are more movies released every year, and one billion is still a very high threshold, and no number of big directors have crossed it.
Ning Hao's "Heart Flower Road" broke one billion, but before that, the two classic comedy movies "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing", plus the highly praised "No Man's Land", after nearly ten years of accumulation, only broke through the billion mark in one fell swoop this year.
Huang Bo is famous, has a good audience, and is also good at comedy.
However, the billion-dollar box office is still a huge gap for the mainland market, and it is not so easy to cross.
If just like Huang Bo can break one billion, then directors like Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Chen Kexin can simply go home and farm.
The entertainment industry doesn't need these big directors anymore, just find some famous actors to be directors.
After laughing for a while, Wang Zhongjun said, "I hope Tang An guessed correctly this time, if Huang Bo can get a billion box office, Wang Baoqiang will be about the same, and having a director with a billion box office will also be beneficial to us." ”
But Wang Zhongjun just thought about it, how could this be possible.
The success of Zhao Wei, Deng Chao, Guo Jinming, Han Han and others has made these big directors in the circle very faceless, after all, some laymen make movies for the first time, and the box office is higher than that of most famous directors, and they can't hold their faces.
Zhao Wei only won 700 million box office, if there are actors who come from across the industry as directors and get a billion box office, then those famous directors should die of shame.
Like Wang Zhongjun, most people listen to this as a joke, after all, even Huang Bo himself doesn't believe that who would believe that an actor's director's debut film broke one billion at the box office.
Tang An's words circulated in a small area in the circle, which also led to the dissatisfaction of many directors.
Feng Xiaogang didn't care about things on the Internet, and carefully prepared his own film, but he was affected by Tang An's words again.
Feng Xiaogang is very unhappy, he doesn't have a billion-dollar movie, and now Tang An actually said that the film directed by Huang Bo can sell for one billion.
Chi Guoguo's contempt!
However, Feng Xiaogang's sense of crisis is getting heavier and heavier, more and more new directors have come out in the past two years, if he doesn't come up with good works, it will be a few years before he will be ridden by these young people.
The same is true for Xu Ke, who is about to have a new film "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", although he is old and well-connected, and he is comfortable between Huayi, Bernard, and Wanda, and he has received enough benefits without restraint.
But at that time, because these companies all sought themselves, if there were more and more directors like Zhao Wei, Deng Chao, Guo Jinming, and Han Han who relied on their fame to make box office gains, it would become easier and easier for movies to sell well, and it would not be so easy for him to think about it left and right.
Wu Yusen, who also has a new film released, is resting, and the movie is finished, so take a good rest before the release, and then go to promote.
successfully completed an epic disaster blockbuster, Wu Yusen's mood was quite good, and he just didn't think it was enough for Tang An to say that Huang Bo's new film could break one billion.
One billion is no longer his goal, so he doesn't feel too unhappy, his goal is 1.5 billion, or even higher, whether others take a billion box office or not, he doesn't care about his, anyway, he can't compare to himself.
......
There is another one that is also unhappy, that is, Wang Baoqiang.
The three major companies of "Havoc in Tianzhu", Ahri, Huayi, and China Film participated in the investment, Ahri and Huayi were guaranteed to be released, and China Film was jointly released, so the contract was finalized two days late.
After signing the contract, Fan Luyuan talked about Tang An's prediction of "Havoc in Tianzhu".
"Protect the wall, it seems that Tang Dong still doesn't believe you very much, the box office of three or four hundred million is a bit big with Huang Bo's one billion. Fan Luyuan said with a smile.
Wang Baoqiang has potential, and Fan Luyuan will definitely win it over, but first of all, Wang Baoqiang must be completely pulled away from Tang An's side.
After all, Wang Baoqiang has starred in the embarrassing series three times in a row, if Xu Zheng wants to shoot the fourth part, invite Wang Baoqiang to join, and give up part of the investment share in order to win him over, who knows if Wang Baoqiang will be moved.
It's obviously exciting, but it's really useful to the current Wang Baoqiang.
In the past few days, he has frequently gone in and out of various top places, chatting and laughing with bigwigs in the entertainment industry, calling him brothers, making Wang Baoqiang feel that he is already at the top of the entertainment industry.
However, after many years of cautious acting career, he was not too excited, so that he would not spray in front of Fan Luyuan and Wang Zhonglei.
Wang Baoqiang said with a smile, "Three or four hundred million is actually a lot, after all, the production cost is only seventy million, which is enough to recover the cost." ”
Wang Zhonglei continued, "Tang Dong's vision has always been very good, I think I'm afraid I'm going to lose my eyes this time, if "A Good Show" can really get a billion box office, I believe that your "Havoc in Tianzhu" will not be bad." ”
Fan Luyuan nodded in agreement, "No matter how good the vision is, there are times when people don't know the goods, no one, no company can always go smoothly, whether it is our Tanuki, or Tengxun, Baidu, they have experienced major crises, but in the end they survived to reach today's height." ”
"There's an old saying, don't you say it, if you don't have it, things will be reversed, this time Tang Dong has lost his eyes, and it's not the beginning of prosperity and decline. ”
How can this be said and talked about so far, and it also involves the future decline of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Wang Zhonglei is noncommittal, now that the Han and Tang Dynasties have passed the period of relying on a few movies, not to mention the failure of the movie, even if it fails a few more, it will not have much impact.
They Huayi has not had many movies on the street since Tang An left, but the money is still earned, and it has still become the first film and television stock, with a market value of more than 50 billion.
Wang Baoqiang is just listening, he is a little swollen now, but he is not stupid.
But then Fan Luyuan's words made his heart skip a beat.
"In the past, Zhou Xingchi was called the king of comedy, but he is also old, and at present, Xu Zheng and Baoqiang are qualified to take over this title in China, and Baoqiang you are the same as Zhou Xingchi from the bottom, as long as this "Havoc in Tianzhu" is successful, the next king of comedy is none other than you!"
The next king of comedy?
Wang Baoqiang's heart was beating wildly, a comedian who didn't want to be the king of comedy was not a good actor, and in front of this title, he threw all his reason behind.
Am I the next king of comedy?
