"Tang An personally admitted that the new film "The Wind" is a spy movie!"
"Crazy behavior, crazy Tang An, spending 100 million yuan to shoot a spy drama!"
"After horror and science fiction, Tang An once again chose a brand new category to challenge a spy blockbuster that has never been attempted before!"
"Investing 100 million yuan to create the first spy drama in China, I can't imagine what kind of movie it will be!"
...
That night, the media broke the news that Tang An's new film "The Wind" is a spy film.
No way, this is really explosive news, much more shocking than Zhang Yimou filming a comedy.
However, the audience didn't believe it at all and just thought it was made up by the media because they had no good news to report.
Laugh it off, or leave a message to ridicule it.
Not to mention the audience, even other media outlets did not believe it. Some acquaintances even called the media outlets that reported the news to confirm.
Within two days, this voice was drowned in the saliva of the audience. The focus of people's discussion was still on not using Hong Kong and Taiwan actors this time and the investment of up to 100 million.
It was not discovered until two days later, when the script for "The Wind" passed all levels of review and was successfully filed with Optoelectronics.
"Tang An's new film has been registered with Optoelectronics. It is undoubtedly a spy film!"
Tengxun News released the news immediately, and other entertainment news followed closely.
In less than half an hour, almost all entertainment news reported the news, and attached a picture of the photoelectric registration.
Only now did everyone believe that this was true.
Tang An wants to spend 100 million to make a spy movie.
"It's really crazy. Spending 100 million to make a spy movie, what on earth is Tang An thinking in his head!"
"I'm speechless. What's wrong with filming is that I have to choose a genre that no one has ever touched before, even if I make a science fiction film again!"
"By chance, he succeeded in a science fiction film and then switched to a more unpopular category. Should I say he is arrogant or arrogant!"
"Is Tang An trying to show off? Don't show off, or you'll be struck by lightning if you show off!"
"What's wrong with science fiction movies? Science fiction movies can't be made well. "Super Body" cost 50 million to make it so exciting. If we invest 100 million and have more special effects shots, it will be much better than Hollywood movies!"
"It doesn't matter what kind of movie they make, I'll still watch the spy movie after it's made. I don't know what big scenes can be made with 100 million yuan this time. The war scenes are going to be explosive. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"
"Wake up upstairs, a spy movie is a spy movie, and a war movie is a war movie. It's obviously about plot!"
"As a fan of spy dramas, I'm really looking forward to it. With Tang An's story-telling ability, I hope the logic will be stronger, so that it won't be unable to withstand a little scrutiny, and don't try to be clever and make any twists!"
"You can tell from the name "The Wind" that this movie is obviously about hidden spies!"
...
Compared to a spy movie with a cost of 100 million, if it does not use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, it will not attract much attention from the audience.
When Tang An showed the script to Wang Zhongjun and others, they felt strange at most and didn't understand why Tang An chose such a subject.
Even if the cost is later calculated to be nearly 5,000, there is no doubt.
But 100 million is different. If he really spent that much money to make a spy movie, Wang Zhongjun would probably try his best to persuade Tang An to change his mind.
This is Tang An's current value. If he were to change to an ordinary director, let alone 50 million, he would not be given 10 million.
Huayi shares 70% of the investment and a share of the issuance fee. In the worst case, it won’t lose much.
Only great directors have the qualifications to be willful. Feng Xiaogang later made "Assembly", "Tangshan Earthquake" and "1942" one after another. Each genre was absolutely unpopular, but Hua Yi still let him film it.
However, the sensation caused in the industry was far greater than on the Internet.
Ordinary viewers may not understand the concept of a cost of 100 million.
"Hero" invested 240 million, and Li Lianlian, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi and others accounted for nearly half of the salary.
The investment in "The Night Banquet" was 150 million. Excluding the salaries of Ge You, Zhang Ziyi, Wu Yanzu, Zou Xun and others, the production cost was only a little over 100 million.
The total cast list announced for "The Wind" is just over 10 million, and the production cost is already close to that of these two costume blockbusters.
Although this number is definitely mixed with water, it will not be so outrageous no matter what!
...
China Film Group, Han Sanping will officially take over the position of chairman in two months, so he is too busy to pay attention to Tang An's news.
It wasn't until Lin Sheng came to tell him that he realized that Tang An had made a big deal.
"One hundred million, are you sure?"
"This is the number announced to the public. I have asked him. The initial estimate is 50 million, and it may be increased to 60 million in the future!" Lin Sheng said truthfully.
"60 million is quite a lot!" Han Sanping nodded.
It is very normal to lie about costs, and everyone likes to over-report.
If you can repay 200 million, you will never repay 150 million. If you can repay 100 million, you will never repay 80 million.
Anyway, it’s not a cost when filing taxes, so you can’t just write it off at that time.
Just like doing business, I made 100,000 this year, but I want to pretend that I made 200,000.
"Spy thriller."
Han Sanping murmured to himself, and then said to Lin Sheng, "Next year happens to be the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Tang An chose this time to make a spy film. He really picked a good day!"
"He is a smart man, so he can borrow a bit of east wind!" Lin Sheng said with a smile.
"The distribution rights must be obtained. Go and talk to Wang Zhongjun about joint distribution with Huayi!" Han Sanping ordered.
On the 70th anniversary, if a box-office hit spy movie with a main theme has nothing to do with China Film Group, it would seem that it is not capable enough to support a gift movie.
If it fails, it means Tang An didn't shoot well, and there is no loss.
...
Bernard Group, Yu Dong is thinking about something.
"Dr. Yu, the script of "The Letter of Investment" has been completed, and director Chen Kexin's crew is also well prepared. With another month and a half of preparation, filming should be started, and it can be released in time for the summer!"
Zheng Ye, director of the production department, advised.
Bernard contacted several directors in Hong Kong and finally decided to use Chen Kexin to shoot "The Name of the People".
After learning that Tang Anhao was determined to make a spy movie, Yu Dong, who had originally planned to have the movie released during the Lunar New Year, had other ideas.
But after thinking about it, I gave up on changing the schedule.
"Forget it, Tang An is better off!"
"Yu Dong." Zheng Ye wanted to persuade again.
"Old Zheng, please stop talking. The summer schedule cannot accommodate films worth over 200 million yuan. Next year's Lunar New Year schedule will see Zhang Yimou busy preparing for the Olympics and no time to participate. This is a great opportunity for us to make our first shot!" Yu Dong said firmly!
With.
"You should always pay attention to what's happening in Huayi and see if Feng Xiaogang has any films next year!"
Zhang Yimou is not here, Brother Chen Kai has not recovered yet, Tang An is committing suicide, Feng Xiaogang is still unknown, Yu Dong feels that he is simply not too lucky!
PS: "Tou Ming Zhuan" is the best costume blockbuster in history. The acting, plot, art, costumes, photography, action scenes, plot, emotional scenes... are all top-notch.
The only "disadvantage" is probably that it is a little "heavy" and not suitable for the Lunar New Year.
