At 6 p.m., Tang An brought Xu Manyun to the CPPCC Auditorium in Beijing.
Parking the car diagonally across the road, Tang An did not get out of the car, but just looked at the lively scene on the opposite side.
A magnificent "Wuji Gate" was erected in front of the auditorium. Outside the door is a red carpet about 150 meters long. Begonia trees full of begonia flowers are planted on both sides of the carpet.
Moreover, the door was twice crowded with the "Red Army" representing General Guangming's side and the "White Army" representing Wuhuan's side in the film.
He is really rich, and the gate of a premiere is so magnificent!
Tang An shook his head and sat back on the chair to take a rest.
Xu Manyun looked at the lively scene outside, then looked at Tang An, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to go down?"
"No, there are too many people, so I won't join in the fun!" Tang An shook his head.
"Isn't it bad to have more people? It's just a good time to promote the new movie!" Xu Manyun didn't understand even more.
"What are you promoting? Are you going to cause trouble? Don't get kicked out!"
"Yes, this is Brother Chen Kai's premiere!" Xu Manyun nodded thoughtfully.
People hold premieres to build publicity for their movies. It would be a bit outrageous for you to suddenly run over and constantly promote your movie to reporters and fans!
"But Brother Chen Kai's connections are really not simple. He was able to hold the premiere in the CPPCC Auditorium!" Xu Manyun sighed slightly.
"How can it be so easy for a director like China Film to invest 300 million to make a movie? Don't you know? There are only two producers on this movie, one is Han Sanping, and the other is his wife Cheng Hong!"
"Then what is his background? I checked his father and he is an artist and director of the older generation!"
"He has an ex-wife with a big background, and after the decline of Xiying Film Studio, almost all of his connections were concentrated on him, Zhang Yimou, and Huang Jianxin!"
After saying that, Tang An changed the subject, "Let's not talk about him. I'm going to Xiangjiang tomorrow. You can go over to the Huairou base every few days and have a look. Just show up and don't let them relax!"
"Well, I know!"
"I will talk to Han Sanping later about distribution. There should be no rivals next summer. In terms of publicity, you need to communicate more with their publicity department. Don't know where the 10 million publicity fee has been spent by then!"
Tang An warned.
“I will be fully involved in formulating the publicity plan and will also supervise the process!”
"Right now, the company only has one film. If nothing happens, we can invest in two low-cost digital films and participate in the entire production. It's just like practicing!" Tang An thought for a while and said.
Originally, the company still had nearly 10 million in cash on its books, but Tang An spent 8 million to buy some real estate in the name of the studio, leaving about 2 million left. It would only cost several hundred thousand to make two digital movies without special effects.
Well, just pay the tuition.
However, Xu Manyun was a little hesitant, "If the movie loses money, what can we do?"
Tang An smiled and said, "One movie worth three to four hundred thousand. When the time comes, sell it to the movie channel. How much can you lose if you go to a few more TV stations? You still have to practice more. The money you will save in the future will be far more than these ten or twenty."
Ten thousand!"
"Besides, all the clothes, costumes, and costumes can be rented from China Film Studio, and the venue can be rented from Huairou, for just a few bucks!"
Tang An didn't think about writing a script and finding a director to film it, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
Even if there is a complete storyboard, other directors may not be able to fully understand what he means.
The same script, even if the actors are exactly the same, if the director and crew are changed, the result will be two different things!
Tang An gave some other instructions, and after seeing that the time was almost up, he got out of the car and walked towards the opposite side.
I didn't go on the red carpet, I just showed my invitation letter and went in through the side door.
Now he doesn't need to be in the spotlight, and he can't. The entire December is "The Promise", so there's no need.
There are already people in the auditorium who have arrived early, and it seems that not everyone is willing to walk on the red carpet outside.
Yu Dong was talking to the bosses of several companies. Tang An walked up to him and said, "Hello, Yu Dong, you are here so early."
"Oh, it's Director Tang, but I haven't seen you for a long time!" Yu Dongxiang apologized to the others and said with a smile.
"It's only been more than a month. I would like to thank Yu Dong for sending him to go to Xiangjiang with me. I'm not familiar with that place!"
"What's the point? If you have any problems then, you can just go to Lao Zhang. He often goes to Xiangjiang and is familiar with everything there!" Yu Dong waved his hand.
After chatting casually for a while, people outside soon started to come in, including celebrities from all walks of life, and basically all major companies were here.
Among the crowd, Wang Zhongjun came in with someone and went straight to Tang An.
"Director Tang, you are here too!"
"I just have some free time, so come over and have a look. I wonder when I will be qualified to hold a premiere in a place like this!" Tang An said with a smile.
"With Director Tang's ability, I'm afraid it won't take three to five years, and he will be less than 30 by then!" Wang Zhongjun sighed.
"Then I'll borrow Wang Dong Jiyan's advice. I hope I can have a chance in three to five years!"
In 1935, there were already movies that had their premieres held at the Great Hall of the People, but it was not a big deal in the Great Hall of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
After chatting casually for a while, Wang Zhongjun's face became serious and he looked at Tang An solemnly, "Director Tang, let's stop talking secretly. You also know what I am thinking. I have always hoped that you can join Huayi!"
Tang An was slightly stunned. Wang Zhongjun's sudden "showdown" made him a little strange.
"Director Wang, let's wait to discuss this topic later. I will give you an answer after my movie is released!" Tang An said after thinking for a moment.
It is estimated that Wang Jinghua's departure still had a certain impact, and the people who stayed behind were a little unstable.
Of course, what can stabilize an artist is the role. Having a director with box office appeal is undoubtedly the most important thing.
After receiving this answer, Wang Zhongjun's eyes lit up and his heart became excited.
The previous efforts to win over him were finally not in vain. After more than a year of continuous showing of goodwill to Tang An, the results finally came to fruition.
"Haha, then, I will wait for Director Tang's reply next year. Huayi's door will always be open to you!" Wang Zhongjun laughed.
After a moment's thought, he realized what Tang An's concerns were. He was simply afraid that he would not receive corresponding treatment after coming here, so he wanted to wait until "Super Body" was released and the box office exploded again.
Wang Zhongjun left with satisfaction, but Xu Manyun was puzzled.
"Do you really want to join Huayi? What about the studio?"
Tang An could hear the nervousness in her tone, smiled and comforted, "The studio is still the same, I just joined Huayi as an individual, and the specific position will depend on the box office of "Super Body". If
If I can successfully exceed 100 million, it will be no problem to be named the vice president of the production department. At that time, I can still account for nearly half of the studios of the films I make!"
"But why did you go there?" Xu Manyun still didn't understand.
"What do you think is the most important thing in a movie?" Tang An asked.
"The most important thing is distribution?" Xu Manyun thought for a while and said.
"wrong!"
"Star, director, or publicity?"
"None of it is right!" Tang An shook his head.
"The most important thing is the movie itself and the entire team. This is the most important thing about a movie!"
“Isn’t the current crew enough?”
Tang An sighed, "The shooting of these movies of mine is not that difficult actually. If I want to make a real blockbuster, it will definitely not be enough!"
"At first I wanted to contact the circle of Xiying Film Studio through Gu Changwei, but later I found that the top talents in Xiying Film Studio were concentrated in the hands of direct descendants. Apart from poaching people in Xiangjiang, the only channel was Huayi!"
Give Tang An's current crew to Chen Kai, and his "The Promise" will really be made into an S.
Now at least in addition to the plot, every aspect such as graphics, art, lighting, soundtrack, etc. is first-class or even top-notch.
"So you went to Huayi just to recruit people?" Xu Manyuan suddenly realized, and then said, "Can't you use money?"
"This is just one aspect. Huayi is a very good platform. The people and things I have come into contact with are far beyond what our small studio can match. For long-term development, it will be very helpful to stay there for two or three years!"
"It's not that time yet. It's too early to say this. Just come in and take a seat. It's rare that I have time to watch a movie with you!"
"Does this also mean watching a movie with me?" Xu Manyun rolled his eyes.
Then, Tang An once again watched this movie that the audience said was bad!
However, judging from the response from the audience, it was quite lively, especially when every star appeared, no matter whether he was playing a good guy or a bad guy, as long as the pose was exciting, there was a round of applause.
There was constant applause throughout the screening, making it difficult to tell whether the film was wonderful or whether the star was eye-catching.
However, Zhang Bozhi's ball was indeed a bit too much, and Tang An even felt that it was processed by a computer later.
The plot is still the same. If you ignore the plot, it's actually pretty good.
Fortunately, there is an awesome crew, otherwise I don’t know what the film would have been like!
