Leaving Huayi, Tang An and the crew converged and continued to promote the movie in a cinema in Haidian District.

"It's been a hard time for everyone, and there is still more than half a month in the end, so you can rest after this busy while. ”

"Director Tang, it's nothing hard, the audience is so enthusiastic, we still wish we were like this every day. Deng Chao hurriedly said.

"Deng Chao, I see that the biggest improvement in your filming of this drama is your mouth, didn't an audience ask you how to practice your speech speed before, did you deliberately speed up the post-editing. Tang An shook his head and smiled.

"Mr. Tang, you're just joking, I'm not very good at talking. ”

"That's right, you'll be running the train with your mouth full and you won't be able to speak. Tang An scolded with a smile.

He turned to look at Tang Yan, "By the way, Tang Yan, when will your TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" join the group?"

"It's still half a month, and they moved my role to the back. Tang Yan replied obediently.

Tang An nodded, "That's just right, after the propaganda is finished and you will rest for two days before entering the group, don't worry, otherwise you won't be in the state." ”

"There is less than half a month left, everyone has nothing to do, if it's okay, don't leave the crew for the rest of the time, let's go south to a few cities after tomorrow's celebration press conference. ”

During this time, they have been wandering around the north around the capital, and the rest of the time is time to go to the south.

"Director Tang, I may have half a day, and there are still some places to dub "Keep Talking". Liu Ye said immediately.

"When?"

"In the past few days, about half a day is enough. ”

"Okay, I'll give you a day off then. ”

After resting in the reception room for a while, Tang An walked into the screening hall with the crew.

The hall of nearly 500 people was full, and there were some reporters and photographers waiting in front of it.

As soon as you step through the door, there is a huge cheer inside, especially in the closed screening room.

In addition to several leading actors, there are also many people shouting Tang An's name.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you all today, and thank you for your support for me and the Demon Thieves!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Deng Chao, thank you for supporting the movie I starred in. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Tang Yan, thank you for liking my performance. ”

......

Say hello one by one, and the reporters in front can't wait to start asking questions.

"Director Tang, now that "Shocking Demon Thieves" is 4 million short of breaking through the 200 million mark, more than 10 days earlier than "The Wind", do you have any thoughts now?"

"It's a bit of a surprise, to be honest, it's a genre that no one has ever tried after all, and I was really surprised by the audience's acceptance. Tang An smiled slightly.

It's as if the previous two movies weren't a new genre!.

The reporters were full of slander.

"Are you happy with the result?"

"I am quite satisfied, which represents the audience's affirmation of me, and I can finally let go of the heart that I have been hanging for more than half a year. ”

"Then Director Tang thinks which of "Shocking Demon Thieves" or "Red Cliff" will break through the 300 million mark faster?"

"It's us!" Tang An said as a matter of course.

So confident!

"At present, there is no movie in China that has a box office of more than 300 million, if you can achieve this achievement, it will surpass all Chinese movies, can you imagine the mood at that time?"

Tang An shook his head and smiled, "Isn't this just a matter of issuing a certificate before the exam results come out, and I don't know how excited I will be before that time, but it shouldn't be calm." ”

No matter how the reporter asked, Tang An's reply was leaky.

Then he asked them a few more questions, and suddenly a reporter turned his attention to Tang An.

"Director Tang, why did you choose Tang Yan to play the heroine in the first place, he had just graduated at the time, what if she couldn't take on this role?"

I don't know how many similar problems have been experienced, no matter what actor is used, some people will question it.

With young people, they will say that they are inexperienced and have no appeal.

If you use big stars who have been famous for a long time, you should say that you rely on their fame to make money, and don't give newcomers a chance.

Tang An didn't answer directly, but looked at the hundreds of audiences in front of him with a smile, and the Great Sage said, "What do you think of Tang Yan's performance?"

"Well acted!"

"My soup is the most beautiful!"

"Tang Yan is the best!"

The audience expressed their support in the loudest voices, especially some of the male companions, who almost cried wolf and stared at the two long legs in shorts.

Tang Anchong smiled at the reporter slightly, "The audience has already given the answer, and Tang Yan has starred in many film and television dramas and has rich acting experience." ”

Then Tang An gave the stage to several actors and let them interact with the audience for a while.

At the behest of the audience, Deng Chao performed a few more poker tricks.

There is no way, he can only perform in Deng Chao, and he can't play Liu Ye's hypnotic magic.

There are no props for the escape magic, and Deng Kai's thief stunt can't be performed.

After accompanying the audience to watch a movie, I quickly rushed to the next movie theater after signing a few names afterwards, found a hotel for a meal at noon, and continued in the afternoon.

Another busy day passed, and early the next morning, the news about the box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves" breaking 200 million came out.

On August 28, the 15th day of release, the single-day box office dropped to 8 million, with a total box office of 204 million, surpassing "Yangtze River No. 7" to rank second at the annual box office.

The 50% drop is also expected data, but the box office in the past two weeks was too high, and under Huayi's moneyless publicity, part of the box office potential has been overdrawn.

93 million on the first Thursday, and 10 million on the 7th day of the second week, reaching 104 million, achieving a reversal.

However, "Red Cliff" was 100 million in the first four days, but it was only 83 million in the second week, which is of course due to insufficient publicity and too much negative news.

On the 19th day of its release, "Red Cliff" got a box office of 4 million on the same day, with a total box office of 243 million.

"The total box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves" exceeded 200 million in 12 days after its release, becoming the third movie to break 200 million this year!"

"Two consecutive movies have broken 200 million, Tang An deserves to be a top commercial film master!"

""Shocking Demon Thieves" and "Red Cliff" are the top two at the annual box office, and the competition for summer files has come to the most critical moment!"

"The battle for the annual box office championship has entered a white-hot state, and the winner will book the biggest winner of the domestic film market in 2008 in advance!"

......

In this time of disturbance, Huayi's 200 million celebration conference for "Shocking Demon Thieves" was held in Beijing.

The scale is not small at all, and most of the reporters and entertainment industry are here.

With a huge ice sculpture with 8 zeros strung behind a 2 being smashed, it means that the 200 million box office has become a thing of the past, and the next step will be to hit a higher record.

Wang Zhongjun dealt with the reporters with high spirits, and swore that "Shocking Demon Thieves" broke 300 million in sight.

"In 20 days, we will hold a 300 million box office celebration conference here again, and I hope to see you all again!"

Wang Zhongjun did not hesitate to let out big words, to break 300 million in 20 days, not low-key at all.

The audience was in an uproar, and these reporters didn't expect Wang Zhongjun to be so high-profile, but this just happened to be what they wanted.

In the face of reporters' doubts and confirmations, Wang Zhongjun still did not change his words!

Come on, after three weeks, it hasn't broken 300 million, and I have to be chased and sprayed to death by reporters.

It doesn't take three months, and I will definitely be chased by reporters every day for the rest of the time.

After surrounding Wang Zhongjun and asking for a while, the reporters remembered that Tang An was there, and immediately turned their guns.

"Director Tang, just now Wang Dong said that the box office will break 300 million in 20 days, do you think there is hope?"

"Of course, I agree with Wang Dong's statement. ”

At this time, no matter what, you can't show your timidity.

"Now that "Red Cliff" is still 57 million short of the box office to break through the 300 million mark, which of you do you think is one step faster?"

"Of course I believe in myself, and I also hope that this first domestic film with a box office of 300 million is from my own hands. ”

After answering a lot of similar questions, the reporters left satisfied, and before leaving, one of them took a small red envelope.

As soon as they left, Tang An complained to Wang Zhongjun, "Wang Dong, you are putting us on the tip of the knife." ”

Wang Zhongjun laughed, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Tang's words are serious, with the current momentum, there is a great hope of getting 100 million box office in the remaining three weeks, not to mention that the media will definitely help us publicize." ”

"I hope so. ”

This is a propaganda method, and the gimmick of 300 million is not bad.

Coming to the banquet hall next door, the hotel side is ready.

"Congratulations to Director Tang, another 200 million-level movie, one a year is really enviable!"

"That's wrong, it's obviously a 300 million-level film. ”

"According to this momentum, the box office will break 400 million next year, and it should be 500 million the year after tomorrow!"

"That's right, one step a year, if you don't know it, every box office record will have to be created by Director Tang in the future. ”

The sound of sycophants was endless, and Tang An's left ear entered the right ear and was immediately thrown out.

"Then I will borrow your auspicious words, I hope we can drink together at the celebration banquet every year!"

Tang An raised his glass to everyone and drank it all.

"Come on,!"

"!"

"A glass to Director Tang!"

"I wish Director Tang a big box office hit and break 300 million as soon as possible!"

After drinking two cups in a row, Tang An confessed and found Han Sanping with Wang Zhongjun.

The two of them toasted together, "Dong Han, thank you for appreciating it." ”

"You're welcome, Director Tang has another 200 million box office film, and he will hit 300 million next, of course I have to come to congratulate him. Han Sanping drank half of it as he spoke.

"It can be regarded as living up to Han Dong's expectations, but whether it can break 300 million depends on the next trend. ”

"Director Tang is modest, didn't he guarantee to break 300 million in three weeks in front of the media just now?" Han Sanping smiled noncommittally.

Tang An hurriedly said, "Isn't that facing the media, now of course I have to tell Han Dong the truth." ”

Wang Zhongjun also answered, "The momentum cannot be lost, first praise Haikou, and the media will naturally spontaneously hype it." ”

"It is inevitable that "Shocking Demon Thieves" will break 300 million, but "Red Cliff" has little hope, and it is estimated that it will be surpassed by you in another week or two. ”

"In fact, the market is still not big enough, barely able to accommodate two blockbusters, I believe that in another two years, the domestic market will be enough to accommodate three or four blockbusters at the same time!" Tang An smiled.

"What Director Tang said is that only when the market is big and a hundred flowers bloom, everyone can make money. Han Sanping sighed.

So when Zhang Yimou's family was dominant, he supported Chen Kaige to make costume blockbusters, otherwise it would have been just Zhang Yimou making blockbusters alone, and the market would never be big.

Han Sanping firmly believes that the market is pulled up by blockbuster movies, and only the more good movies, the more audiences will be, forming a virtuous circle.

Later, Feng Xiaogang also joined, but he stopped playing after filming a costume film.

Although Tang An's film is not a costume blockbuster, and even in terms of investment, only the current "Shocking Demon Thieves" has reached the scale of a blockbuster, but it has achieved better results than blockbusters.

Wang Zhongjun and Tang An glanced at each other, and then said, "In fact, it is not so easy to break 300 million, after such a long time of publicity, our expenses have been overrun, and we will hold on for another week at most, and then it will depend on the audience's word of mouth." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Han Sanping's eyes, and he didn't know what he meant by this for a while.

Tang An continued, "Han Dong is right, only by making the market bigger together can everyone make money, and if "Red Cliff" can also successfully break through 300 million, it would be better." ”

"Then it depends on the luck of "Red Cliff", there is still an August, and it is estimated that it should be about the same. ”

Han Sanping knew it in his heart, and took the initiative to take a step back when the victory was already confirmed, and he won the summer file and sold it well, so he simply took it.

Hello, I'm good, it's really good!

Untangled a little unpleasantness before, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious in an instant, and I pushed the cup to help the lamp, and drank a few glasses at once.

Han Sanping remembered that he still had something to do, so he simply said it while he was there.

"China Film is preparing a project for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, you know, right?"

"I know, I heard that Han Dong, you plan to go out of the mountain to direct it yourself?"

"I directed it, you also know the importance of this film, don't interrupt me when there is a shortage of actors. ”

"Han Dong, don't worry, just hand it over if you like whomever you like. Wang Zhongjun replied.

"I'm relieved to have your words. Han Sanping looked at Tang An again with a smile, "I haven't made a movie for a while, and there is still a lack of a director here, I don't know if Director Tang is willing to come and help?"

At first, when Tang An's name was reported, the above refused, Han Sanping said it badly, and Tang An had a commercial film with the main theme "The Wind", so he persuaded the above leaders.

Tang An was dumbfounded, isn't this "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", let yourself be the director of this film, how can you do it!

Let's not talk about anything else, if this is not filmed well and scandalizes a certain great man, it will not be good.

"Han Dong, you have to ask Wang Dong about this. Tang An kicked the ball to Wang Zhongjun.

"Director Tang, you misunderstood, you won't delay too much time, at most less than a month's schedule, you will be responsible for part of the scenes, there are too many actors, I can't be alone. Han Sanping smiled.
