Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Sci-Fi Blockbuster

"Hello Li Dong, welcome!"

"Director Gu is here, please come in!"

"Mr. Zhao......"

As a film director and investor, Tang An naturally has to welcome guests in person.

The largest banquet hall in a five-star hotel is enough to accommodate thousands of people at the same time, which is more than enough to hold a celebration banquet.

"Wu Dong, thank you for the light!"

"Congratulations to Director Tang, it broke through the box office of 60 million in less than half a month after its release!" Wu Bo, chairman of Chengtian, walked in with a smile, followed by a sweet-looking girl with long legs.

"Wu Dong, please come in first, I'll come to accompany you later!"

Tang An asked him to go in first, and then greeted him at the door.

Not long after, Wang Zhongjun also came, and Paulie Bernard Yu Dong made his first appearance.

Han Sanping couldn't come today because of something, so Wang Jianyuan was present on behalf of China Film.

When everyone arrived, Tang An simply said some words of thanks, said hello to everyone, and moved to another banquet hall next to him.

This ballroom is ready for a later dinner, and another banquet hall of the same size has been set up next to it for the celebration of the event!

A giant poster is hung on the back of the Grand Ballroom, and the huge "Box Office Celebration Conference Breaking 60 Million" is horizontally in the middle.

Reporters on the scene were already in place, and photographers from all directions fiddled with their cameras behind tripods.

Tang An took the crew onto the stage and waved to everyone in the audience!

After standing still, Tang An bowed deeply to the front, "Welcome everyone to come to the celebration conference of the box office of "Horror Cruise" exceeding 60 million!"

"Thank you all for your continued support!"

"Bang Bang ......"

After the applause stopped, Tang An continued to speak.

"Compared to the seniors here, I can only be regarded as a rookie director. When I decided to direct a film on my own last year, I thought there would be this scene today, with so many industry peers and so many media coming!"

"But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, so fast that I feel a little unreal standing here now!"

"Every time at this time, I would put my feet on the floor heavily, and I felt this feeling of solidity, which made me understand that I was not dreaming!"

"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, I want to take the train when I return to the capital after promoting the movie from Guangzhou yesterday!"

"Because flying in the sky is really unsteady, there is a feeling of floating!"

As soon as the words fell, a few kind smiles immediately came from the audience.

reminisced about the difficulties of filming, and then Tang An smashed an ice sculpture with the words "60 million" on behalf of the crew, saying that the box office of "Horror Cruise" would not stop there.

Then Wang Jianyuan, director of the distribution department of China Film, and representatives of several theaters such as Xingmei and New Film Association also took the stage to speak.

Everything went according to the process step by step, and finally it was time for the reporter to interview.

The first reporter who was called immediately stood up, did not give any face, and asked questions directly.

"Hello Director Tang, before the release of "Horror Cruise", you announced that your goal was 100 million, and now there is still a gap of 40 million from this number, do you still think you can meet this expectation?"

The tone was a little straight, but Tang An didn't care, he smiled and said, "Now that the movie is still being released, everything is possible!"

The reporter was going to continue to ask, but a reporter on the other side had already preemptively asked questions.

Everyone accepted the red envelope, and most of them were still very well-behaved and did not deliberately come out to make trouble.

"Hello Director Tang, with the success of the two movies "Shark Beach" and "Horror Cruise", the industry generally believes that horror films have a large market in China, what do you think?"

Tang An glanced at the reporter just now without a trace, noted down which media it was, and was ready to tell Xu Yanyun later, don't invite such an eyeless person next time.

Waste a red envelope!

"In fact, there are potential audiences for any type of movie, and we need to attract them to the cinema with excellent movies!" said Tang An.

"It is said that many companies have begun to prepare to make horror movies, what does Director Tang think of this kind of behavior?"

Not to mention following the trend, Tang An heard that a medium-sized film and television company has already established a project in optoelectronics, and the script outline is almost the same.

It's just that the heroine was replaced by the male lead, the son was replaced by a daughter, and the cruise ship was replaced by a train.

If he hadn't gotten the plot synopsis from China Film, Tang An would have thought that there would be a time-traveler who would shoot "Source Code"!

In my heart, I still have that smile on the surface.

"At present, there are still relatively few domestic horror films, and the market is in a blank period, if you produce a few more high-level horror films, you can just fill this gap!"

Of course, Tang An won't bombard others to follow suit, it's useless for him to scold this thing, people don't care so much in order to make money and gain popularity.

And he is now an ordinary director, so many bigwigs don't speak, he calls a hammer.

Then a reporter asked Tang An what he thought of the new film, after all, "Shark Beach" had just been painted before, and he immediately began to produce "Horror Cruise".

Tang An thought for a while and said, "The script of the new film has a prototype and is being improved!"

The reporter just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be really rewarding.

Immediately followed up with the question.

"The new film will no longer be a horror film, it can be regarded as a new attempt by me, a new genre, I hope you can like it!"

After saying that, Tang An no longer revealed any details, and shifted the topic to "Horror Cruise".

However, the colleagues and reporters at the scene were tickled by the news revealed by Tang An.

The two films made by Tang An are different from any genre in China, they are very creative, and this new film is not horror, which is really curious.

The celebration press conference ended smoothly, and the reporters were sent off, and everyone returned to another banquet hall.

The hotel has set up a cocktail party on the scene, with all kinds of Chinese and Western food, pastries and drinks on the table, and waiters interspersed with them.

Wang Zhongjun immediately found Tang An, and the smart man didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "Director Tang, how about I have a share of the new film this time?"

Tang An had already expected Wang Zhongjun's thoughts, and he saw that the CEOs of several companies were looking at this side intentionally or unintentionally.

"Wang Dong, my script has just come out, and I haven't approved the project yet, and I haven't written a word!"

"Director Tang, you only need a title, there are people in and outside the circle who are willing to pay for it!" Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.

"What if it's a blockbuster?" Tang An asked rhetorically.

"Blockbusters, then count me even more!"

Wang Zhongjun did not hesitate, and he was not surprised at all by Tang An's idea of making a blockbuster.

Every director wants to make costume blockbusters after they have some achievements, Feng Xiaogang is like this, and Chen Kaige is the same, who can avoid vulgarity.

However, he believes that those who succeed will always succeed!

"If it's a sci-fi blockbuster, is Wang Dong still interested?" Tang An said with interest.

This...

Sci-fi blockbuster?

Are there still science fiction films in China?

Wang Zhongjun has a question mark, he has thought of many possibilities, the big deal is a costume blockbuster with an investment of more than 50 million, and even a comedy, which he can accept.

But what the hell is a sci-fi blockbuster? Has there been such a thing in the past few decades?
