Chapter 42: The Afterlife is Terrifying

On October 5, more and more directors and industry insiders joined the ranks of criticizing Tang An, the most important of which was Tenghuatao, a subsidiary of Huayi Brothers.

After participating in the promotional activities of his father's just-finished TV series "Blood Romance", he directly sprayed Tang An in the face of reporters.

The original words are basically that Tang An is a liar, and the movie "Shark Beach" will not be made by him, a 23-year-old director, let alone by him.

Tang An is likely to be a pawn launched by a certain team to attract the attention of the audience, and this is a show!

Compared with Lu Chuan, Teng Huatao is actually more worthy of the title of representative of the new generation of directors, as soon as he graduated, he directed TV series alone, and now he is just over 30 and has filmed 5 film and television dramas.

And there is a very awesome father, and the attention to this matter is getting higher and higher.

Although there is a lot of negative news, the box office continues to maintain a steady upward trend, winning 1.75 million on the fourth day of release, and the total box office in four days reaching 6.23 million.

And Lu Chuan's "Ke Ke Xili" is still tepid, getting a box office of 1.8 million in three days, and the gap with Tang An is getting bigger and bigger.

......

Regular meeting of the distribution department of China Film Group.

Director Wang Jianyuan sat in the first place, half happy and half worried.

Although China Film gave Tang An all the domestic box office, they could also get a distribution fee.

Seeing that the box office is about to run to 10 million, the distribution cost of 1 million is not a lot for China Film.

However, another movie with high hopes "Ke Ke Xili" did not meet expectations, let alone tens of millions, it would be almost the same if there were 5 million.

Three days have passed since the National Day holiday, and today, according to the feedback from the theater chain, the trend is still the same as a few days ago, "New Police Story" is dominant, but "Shark Beach" is gradually surpassing "2046".

"Hoh Xili"...

Thinking of this movie, Wang Jianyuan was a little bored, and the information was pressed at the bottom, so he didn't care about it.

I took a sip of strong tea and cleared my throat.

"Everyone has seen the feedback from the theater chain, although "New Police Story" still occupies the position of the top box office at the daily box office, its potential has been almost consumed. ”

""2046" doesn't need to be promoted, Wang Jiawei's movies are all fixed fan groups!"

"However, the recent trend of "Shark Beach" is very good, and the attendance rate of several movie theaters in the city centers of major cities has even reached 70%, and everyone is talking about whether to let the theater line increase the film schedule, or change part of the daytime film schedule to the night!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Jianyuan waited for the advice of his subordinates.

The 4 movies in the entire National Day file are a little weighty, plus "Zhang Side" chartered by various agencies are all distributed by China Film, which is enough for their distribution department to be busy.

"Mr. Wang, I think it is necessary to increase the number of films and reduce the number of daytime shows to the prime time at night!" Lin Sheng was the first to speak this time.

"Well, let's talk about it!" Wang Jianyuan nodded.

"Just like Mr. Wang, you just said, "New Police Story" and "2046" have been released for a week, and basically most of the audience knows these two movies!"

"And the publicity of "Shark Beach" is not even one-tenth of that of "New Police Story", except for some fans who often go online, most viewers may not know that such a movie is released!"

"Increase the number of film schedules and prime-time screenings, cover all counties and cities across the country as much as possible, and increase publicity efforts, taking advantage of the remaining three days of holidays, to stimulate the box office potential as much as possible!"

"It can't be!"

As soon as Lin Sheng's words fell, Zhou Tao on the opposite side immediately retorted.

"Director!" he looked at Wang Jianyuan with confidence.

"Now many people are questioning Tang An, not only is he holding all the positions in the crew alone, but even whether he is a real director is also doubtful, after all, his age is there!"

"Now that the negative news has just come out, there will be more and more doubts in two days, and it will be a waste for us to increase the number of films!"

Zhou Tao's words were loud, reminiscent of the current form, and many people agreed.

"What Lao Zhou said also makes sense, this film is indeed a bit overhyped!"

"If there is too much negative news, it will have a great impact on the box office, and if we increase the film schedule at this time and reduce the box office, I am afraid that there will be whispers from the theater chain!"

"In my opinion, we don't have a share of this movie, so let's maintain the status quo, and it's a bit worth the loss to smash too many resources into it!"

......

However, some people are still optimistic about "Shark Beach".

"This time, even if we paint now, we can get a distribution fee of 700,000 yuan, and it is very likely that it will reach 1 million in the end, and it doesn't hurt to use a little bit for publicity, what if there is a surprise at the box office in the end?"

"The box office of "New Police Story" and "2046" has been slowly decreasing, and this is when "Shark Beach" should be our focus on supporting!"

......

Wang Jianyuan listened to what they had seen, looked at Lin Sheng, and wanted to hear if he had anything else to say.

Lin Sheng felt the director's gaze, immediately stood up, squinted at Zhou Tao on the other side and then withdrew his gaze, and said to everyone, "Director, everyone, what everyone is worried about is nothing more than the suspicion that Tang An is currently holding all the positions in the crew!"

"That's right, this is basically a knot that can't be untied, Lin Sheng should have persuaded him in the first place!"

"The young man is still a little taken for granted, after all, he is facing more than just the audience!"

"It's a pity, if there is no such thing, the box office may be able to reach 15 million!"

Looking at their gloating appearance, Lin Sheng was still smiling, ignoring their "guidance", and took out a CD from the notebook in front of him and handed it to Wang Jianyuan.

"Director, here are some tidbits from the filming of Shark Beach, I think it's enough to clarify all this!"

"What's in there?" Wang Jianyuan asked.

"Something that can prove that Tang An is indeed one person who holds all the positions of the crew!"

Seeing that Lin Sheng was so confident, Wang Jianyuan immediately dialed the phone and asked people to prepare a screening hall and rushed over with everyone.

......

Half an hour later, the big screen returned to darkness.

Wang Jianyuan, who had not made a sound, sighed, "The future is terrifying!"

"I didn't expect this Tang An to really do photography, lighting, art, and coordination!"

"Tsk, I'm afraid this is the first time in film history!"

"Young people's ideas are becoming more and more incomprehensible, how bold!"

"At the age of 23, he is proficient in all industries of the crew, this Tang An is afraid that he is not a demon!"

Everyone was amazed, obviously also frightened by Tang An.

Only Zhou Tao sat there dumbfounded, repeating in his heart, "How is it possible... How is that possible..."

After a long time, Wang Jianyuan, who had been silent for a few minutes, spoke.

"Lin Sheng!"

"Yes, Director!" Lin Sheng immediately responded.

"From now on, I will give you the greatest authority, mobilize all the existing resources available to the group, and there are 3 days left, before the end of the National Day holiday, I want to see the promotion of "Shark Beach" spread all over all cities, and the box office will exceed 15 million before the 8th!"

"Yes!"
