After seeing off the reporters, everyone returned to the banquet hall again!
"Thank you all for your compliments today, but I didn't treat you well..."
After a few simple words on the stage, Tang An signaled to the hotel that they could start.
It is still a self-service format to facilitate communication.
Along the way, I thanked everyone for their blessings one by one.
No matter what kind of banquet, it is for people to communicate. There are nearly a hundred people in the whole hall, and not everyone is qualified to talk to Tang An.
Most of them didn't come here just to have a relationship with Tang An.
People at all levels have their own groups, as well as targets for flattery and public relations.
To put it bluntly, most second-tier stars would not be qualified to talk to them if Tang An hadn't taken the initiative to find them!
The entertainment industry has distinct levels!
Of course, some people may say that because Cheng Long is so easy-going, Andy Lau has some kind of Asian star project and is very friendly to those young actors and unknown directors.
That's right, most directors and actors don't have a bad attitude towards the following, unless they make a mistake.
If you, a second- or third-tier star, take the initiative to go to Cheng Long or Zhang Yimou to chat and flatter you when nothing happens, they may not show anything to your face.
However, if there is a shortage of roles in the future, even if you meet the requirements, it is unlikely that they will hire you.
Then if it reaches other people's ears, they won't use you.
After Tang An stepped down from the stage, he first went to Han Sanping to express his congratulations.
Now Han Sanping has begun the handover process with the previous chairman. He will take over the position of head of China Film and Television and stand at the top of China's entertainment industry when he officially takes office next year.
To put it bluntly, except for a few people in this hall now, he can block anyone with just one sentence.
"Congratulations to Director Tang, we have another great director in China, and he is still so young!"
Han Sanping raised his glass and smiled.
Tang An toasted him and said, "I would also like to thank Director Han for his help. From production to promotion, if I didn't rely on Director Han's help, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
"Director Tang is 25 years old this year and has a bright future!"
Next to him, Lin Sheng, who has been promoted to deputy director of China Film Distribution Department, is also glowing!
"For Brother Lin's words, if it hadn't been for you, I don't know if my first movie would have been released!" Tang An said with sincere gratitude.
"Talents will never be buried, and pearls will never be hidden from the city. It's all thanks to Han Donghui's eye for recognizing pearls and falling in love with your movie!"
Lin Sheng lost no time in flattering him.
Han Sanping took over as the chairman of China Film Group Corporation, and his vacated deputy director position became a favorite among the following directors, directors, and other branch leaders.
In the past two years, three Tang An films have been released, and the performance of the distribution department has greatly improved compared to previous years. Wang Jianyuan has great hopes.
If Wang Jianyuan eventually takes over Han Sanping's position and is in charge of the distribution department, then based on his management of the distribution department, no matter who is the director, the distribution department will still be dominated by him.
Lin Sheng knew very well about himself as deputy director. The reason why he did not wait for Wang Jianyuan to be promoted before appointing him was because he would be promoted to another level and directly take the position of director.
He is from Han Sanping. If Han Sanping is in control, he will not want a second Han Sanping!
Upgrading two levels in a short period of time may seem outrageous, but it is not.
The distribution department is controlled by Wang Jianyuan and Han Sanping. The vice presidents are in name only and have no competitiveness at all unless they are transferred from outside!
Han Sanping left not long after he stayed. After all, there was still a lot of work to do in the handover. Once the emperor and his ministers came, the personnel changes in various departments must be carefully considered.
But before leaving, I still didn't forget to mention to Tang An about filming a costume blockbuster.
After watching Han Sanping leave, Lin Sheng looked around, leaned next to Tang An and whispered, "I have transferred Zhou Tao to the Children's Film Factory..."
Tang An was slightly startled. He hadn't heard the name Zhou Tao for a long time. He had forgotten it even if Lin Sheng didn't mention it.
It turned out that Huaguo Children's Film Studio was restructured into Huaguo Film Animation Industry Company. Taking this opportunity, Lin Sheng kicked Zhou Tao over.
Wang Jianyuan was busy operating his position as deputy director, and Zhou Tao was the difference between his life and death.
"Thank you, Brother Lin, for helping me out!"
Although Zhou Tao is only a small character and insignificant, Tang An is too lazy to deal with him.
But you have to accept someone’s kindness, right?
This is how people become famous. People will try their best to curry favor with you and please you. Then your former rivals and enemies will be in trouble.
Needless to say, a lot of people took action and sold favors.
After expressing his intention, Lin Sheng walked away after chatting for a few words.
When a new official takes office, he has to establish good relationships with major companies and directors.
Next, as expected, Wang Zhongjun came up again and said the same thing.
"Director Wang, let's make an appointment to talk in two days!"
This is almost a positive answer, except for the final condition.
If it were an ordinary person, he might lose the initiative, but with Tang An's current qualifications and a single film box office of 156 million, no matter who comes to talk to him, he will always be the one who takes the initiative.
As long as he opens his mouth, 90% of companies in the entertainment industry will bring checks and women to invite him!
Then Bernard and Yu Dong came to the door in person.
But Yu Dong didn't come to Tang An to join him. He also knew that Bernard had no experience in film and television production and didn't even have a team under him.
"I heard that Director Tang has already started preparations for his next movie. I don't know what genre it will be. Can you tell me more about it?"
The two had a drink, and Yu Dong smiled and asked.
"It's just a rough idea, it hasn't been perfected yet, so I can't say for sure!" Tang An shook his head.
"If Director Tang has financial needs, you can come to me at any time. Please consider us for the release of new films!" Yu Dong said sincerely.
Bernard received 9.36 million from half of the distribution fee for "Super Body" alone. This is much more than the distribution rights of several companies in Hong Kong!
...
Then, several other major companies and major studios in the industry expressed their goodwill to a greater or lesser degree, and Tang An also responded to them one by one!
Chengtian Wu Bo came soon after, and Tang An still gave the same answer, making an appointment to talk in a few days.
After all, it's not good to refuse someone without even discussing the conditions after hanging him for so many days.
Wu Bo naturally thought that Tang An had agreed and returned home in good spirits.
Xu Manyun was staring thoughtfully at Tang Yan next to Wu Bo.
From Tang Yan's eyes just now, Xu Manyun was keenly aware of something strange, even though she concealed it very well.
But Xu Manyun didn't say anything. She had long expected that such a day would come.
If there is the first one, then there will be the second one, and there will be more and more in the future.
As long as Tang An doesn't get involved in artist management, those women won't be able to meet Tang An a few times a year!
The entire celebration banquet was actually a constant socializing, with this person toasting, that person chatting and complimenting each other.
It was also the first time for Tang An to talk to major directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
Zhang Yimou asked him to chat a few more words about the filming of "Super Body". Brother Chen Kai was not very interested. It seemed that he had not recovered from the failure of "The Promise".
And Ning Hao, this dark horse director, was tricked by Tang An. After chatting with him about the plot and rhythm, he really has something in his stomach!
