"Thank you for your help, our "Shocking Demon Thieves" can be successfully completed, the words are in the wine, I toast everyone!"

"!"

"To Director Tang!"

"Director Tang is polite, it's all right. ”

"Come on,!"

......

After evacuating the spectators, the stadium was completely cordoned off, leaving a security company to guard it.

The scene and the stage will be cleaned and dismantled tomorrow, and it will be bad if people go in and find the mechanism inside.

I went to a hotel near the gymnasium and had a simple finale party.

Deng Chao came over with a wine glass and said sincerely, "Director Tang, thank you for giving me this opportunity to star in a movie."

Liu Ye followed closely and also raised his glass and said, "Director Tang, the way you film is different from many directors, I have learned a lot and understood a lot in the past six months, thank you!"

Then Tang Yan followed, "Brother An, I also toast you!"

"Director Tang, this is my first time making a movie, I originally wanted to go to the theater to be a drama actor after graduation, thank you for taking a fancy to me as a newcomer, giving me the opportunity to make a movie!" Deng Kai said with sincere gratitude.

Although it is said that filming dramas is to hone their acting skills, the first choice of students at this age must be to make movies, then TV series, and finally dramas.

has acted in dramas for several years, but has not starred in film and television dramas, and it will be even more difficult to have the opportunity to make movies in the future.

At that time, there was a fame older than you, and a younger person than you had more potential, which is the same concept as the workplace.

Unless you have been boiling it all the time and become an old drama bone, you will have the opportunity to make green leaves for those idol stars who have just debuted and improve the acting skills of the whole drama.

Deng Kai was lucky before graduation, and starred in a movie that was not a movie with his classmates Zhao Qi and Zhang Shuying.

However, it was only 60 minutes, and no one wanted to sell it to the TV station, and there was no screening channel.

And another TV series is also broadcast on the Southern Children's Channel, and few people have watched it at all.

Now students with some potential have been recruited to play important roles by large companies as early as their college days, and it is difficult for them to have a chance to get up.

Deng Chao and Liu Ye also said in their hearts, although Deng Chao played an important role in "Assembly", there will definitely not be many such opportunities in Huayi, after all, there is still a Huang Xiaoming.

And Liu Ye has been filming for ten years, and Tang An is definitely one of the best directors he has ever seen.

Tang An has changed his own script three or four times in succession, and changed the characters to be more suitable for him without moving the big frame.

Others are similar, without affecting the whole, Tang An has changed the script according to the characteristics of each person.

This makes them feel more fluid and comfortable when performing, and they feel more comfortable than ever.

He also asked Tang An whether the difficulty of the performance would be reduced in this way, and it would affect the acting skills, after all, many directors pay attention to letting the actors break through on their own, so that the actors can adapt to the role, rather than letting the role adapt to the actor.

"Breaking through yourself is not a task for you to challenge the impossible, everyone has different characteristics, and sometimes the script has to serve the actors.

Playing a role that is close to you and suitable is the most important thing, don't blindly take on the role, it will only harm yourself. ”

Liu Ye has been thinking about this sentence until now.

......

Then Wang Zhongjun led Jason Constantine over.

"Mr. Tang, Jason is amazed by the shooting just now, you guys have a good talk about this movie. Wang Zhongjun gave Tang An a look and left.

"Hello Jason, welcome to the finale party. ”

Tang An smiled and touched a glass with him.

"Don, that scene just now was so exciting, it was so shocking to watch that banknote float in the air and fill the entire gymnasium. Jason exclaimed.

Then he added, "If it were converted to US dollars, I think it would feel even more cracked!"

Hehe...

Tang An didn't care, the people of the United States are so arrogant, and they look down on any other country in all aspects.

Even the money printed with Franklin in their own country is much cuter than the currencies of other countries.

"I'm glad to get your compliment. Tang An nodded slightly.

"But, Don, there are so many popcorn movies in Hollywood, and they all have big stars, big directors and wonderful special effects. There are only horror movies, horror movies don't need big directors and big stars, with your ability, you can definitely become a horror master in Hollywood, just like your companion James Wing, who has a foothold in Hollywood with horror films, and it is not impossible to direct A-level big productions in the future. ”

"And we lions lack a director like you, and I can promise you that there will be a suitable opportunity in the future to provide you with an A-level large-scale production project. ”

Although "Shocking Demon Thieves" is good, it is almost impossible for a popcorn movie without a big director, a big star, and a big IP to sell high box office, and the lions can't get more scheduled films, and the profits are limited after all.

He still wants to persuade Tang An to make a horror movie, this kind of low-cost, low-risk, and fast-acting movie can be made in half a year.

Jason looked at Tang An sincerely, and almost held his hand.

Tang An immediately became excited when he heard the A-level production, and immediately said, "Thank you so much Jason, it's an A-level production." ”

"But I still have to concentrate on making this movie now, and I will think about a wonderful story after it is released. ”

"Of course, the most important thing is now, the overseas distribution of this film will be handed over to me, Lionsgate's distribution network is all over the world, and it will definitely have a good result!"

Jason nodded in satisfaction, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, sure enough, he was a young man!

Looking at his back as he left, Tang An pursed his lips disdainfully.

This has to look down on him a lot, even taking out such a childish bait.

is also a special A-level big production, look at the big production that the Lions have participated in from the new century to the present, there is only a "Dark Knight" that has not yet been released, and it is not the turn of the Lions to call the shots, this is Warner's film.

The highest cost is "The King of War" with an investment of 50 million meters, and the others are all small-budget movies.

Don't say they don't have a project, even if they do, it won't be their turn unless their heads are squeezed by the door.

Wen Zhiren had spent 10 years proving himself in Hollywood before filming "Fast and Furious 7".

In any case, first fool him to buy the overseas copyright, and then then the negotiation will be handed over to the big and small kings.

After dealing with reporters casually, Tang An went home.

Tang An didn't ask about overseas copyright, which was not within his purview, but asked Xu Yanyun to occasionally ask about the negotiations.

In the days after the finale, Tang An rested at home, and at the same time, the film was also used for magnetic transfer.

After doing the magnetic transfer, Tang An spent 5 days cutting out some trailers for publicity.

In the past few days, the outside world is still discussing "Shocking Demon Thieves", and the scene that night has spread all over the country through the word of mouth of tens of thousands of viewers at the scene.

But after all, there is no video, and the scene at that time cannot be restored through other people's text narration.

What is the helmet of time travel, the gate of time and space, the sky full of banknotes......

People will only be confused when they hear you talk about this, what is this?

But the more I don't know, the more I look forward to it, but there is a reporter with a better pen to write the whole process of the magic, not to mention, the writing is really good, and the three-dimensional sense is very strong.

But no matter how you look at it, it looks like a sci-fi short story, and what does it have to do with magic.

In addition to "The Amazing Demon Thieves", there is also some news about "The King of Kung Fu", and the entertainment industry can be regarded as relatively calm.

Placid.

Before starting the editing, Tang An asked Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei to discuss the early publicity.

In the office of the chairman of Huayi, the three of them sat opposite each other.

"Wang Dong, I cut out 4 more trailers, which are Tang Yan's escape magic, Deng Kai's overturned car explosion, the second performance on the big stage, and the scene of robbing the bank. ”

Tang An said and plugged the computer into the USB flash drive. Start playing.

Of course, it won't be displayed in its entirety, for example, the escape magic will only be carried out until the piranha pours down and floods Yuyan, and the blood keeps gushing out.

For the second performance on the big stage, a few magic tricks were chosen, the magic trick of Tang Yan floating in the air wrapped in a bubble, and the magic trick of turning a rabbit into a box without it.

And the scene of robbing the bank still has to maintain this sense of mystery, from the moment they came to the stage, and then the camera flashed, and the rain of money fell from the sky.

It is necessary to whet the appetite of the audience, and two months should not make them dissipate their popularity.

Fortunately, it was released in the summer, and it didn't take that long, if it had been changed to the New Year, it would have made the audience impatient for so long.

The several trailers didn't add up to that long, and they were quickly finished.

"It's good, to be honest, I'd like to see it sooner rather than later. Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.

Although he has great hopes for Tang An, he has not seen the finished film, and he has to face the opponent of "Red Cliff", which is a little uneasy after all.

"Wang Dong, three trailers have been released before, except for the last one, it is best to release them in batches a month before the release, and wait until mid-June, and then send out the finale trailer to officially start the promotion. Tang An suggested.

"Yes, the most important trailer can't be put too early, so as not to startle the snake and make people suspicious. Wang Zhongjun nodded.

Only the three of them and Xu Yanyun knew about the preparation of "Shocking Demon Thieves" for the summer release, and even Su Wenjie, director of the distribution department, and Zhu Mo, director of the publicity department, didn't know.

It's not that they don't trust them, it's always good to know one less, and then hold a meeting in the company two days in advance to officially discuss the release schedule.

"But when will Mr. Tang be able to cut out the finished film? If the theater line can't see the finished film, I can't get enough films. Wang Zhonglei raised a key question.

Although Tang An's past achievements can completely allow the theater to arrange a high film schedule with his eyes closed, it was also when there was no big director in the same period.

What's more, this is the super war blockbuster "Red Cliff", which is distributed by the two giants of Berner and China Film, which is destined to be a big hit.

"If you just give people a title, it is estimated that there will be less than 40% of the films at most. ”

This number is enough to be proud of any first-line director, and in the face of "Red Cliff", he got nearly 40% of the film schedule, and he can blow it for a month!

"40% is not enough, especially since we have postponed the release by a week, the first week must greatly exceed the box office of the second week of "Red Cliff", and the film schedule must not be much less than "Red Cliff". ”

Tang An pondered for a moment and then asked, "Wang Dong, how many copies of "Red Cliff" will be put in?"

"Not sure, but it should be around 1200, and the digital theater will be full. Wang Zhongjun shook his head and said.

Needless to say, digital copies have almost zero cost compared to film.

The cost of "Red Cliff" is too high, and the copies should not reach 1500, I remember that later "Mei Lanfang" had more copies than "Red Cliff".

"Then we will lay out 1,500 copies in the first round, and I will try to cut out the finished film within 40 days, which is exactly a month before the release. ”

Tang An also went out, but he didn't go out in the editing room for a month.

"That's good, Mr. Tang will cut out the film wholeheartedly, and we will be responsible for the publicity, and everyone will work together to win this battle!"

Wang Zhongjun then looked at his younger brother, "Zhonglei, walking around more in the theater, eating, drinking, and having fun is your forte." ”

"Big brother, you expose my shortcomings in front of Mr. Tang, it's very shameless!" Wang Zhonglei smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Tang is not an outsider, besides, who doesn't know you!"

"It's also a skill to be able to socialize, like I don't like to socialize, and I will have to bother Mr. Wang for similar things in the future!" Tang An smiled.

Later, Wang Zhongjun told Tang An the good news that the lions had already negotiated.

"Dong Wang, have all the copyrights in the world been sold?" Tang An immediately asked.

Start promoting it right away, it's time to use the money.

Moreover, if the overseas copyright is sold at a good price, they will not take care of it so much when they spend money in the mainland, and they will not lose money anyway.

"The overseas full copyright is 13 million US dollars, the contract has been signed, and the money will arrive within a month. Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.

The production cost is only 70 million, and the overseas copyright has been sold for a whole 100 million, which is almost a sure profit.

Although it can't compare to Zhang Yimou's more than 200 million sales, it can't compare to "The King of Kung Fu", which sold $31 million in North America and Asia alone.

But as a non-costume Chinese film, this price is high enough, after all, the overseas copyright fee of "Night Banquet" is only so much.

Tang An has also become one of the few directors in China who can sell overseas copyrights for 100 million yuan!

He also breathed a sigh of relief, 100 million is enough to squander in the mainland.

However, he remembered a key question, "When is the other party going to release it?"

"Around Halloween, Jason said that the mysterious theme of magic is just right for Halloween and will strive to be in mainstream theaters, and I didn't say anything about our schedule. Wang Zhongjun said.

Mainstream theaters, it's not like it used to be only available in rural theaters, community theaters and some remote areas.

This means that "Amazing Thieves" will enter the field of vision of audiences across the United States, although there will not be too many films, at least there will be one or two prime time shows in every theater in major cities across the United States!

That's enough!
