Tang An looked at Zheng Zhiwei, who was gossiping in front of him, and then at Feng Xiaogang, who had a somewhat unhappy face.
"Director Feng, are you talking about you?"
"If you have someone else's mouth, let them have their say!"
Feng Xiaogang glanced at Tang An and said with a smile, "But Director Tang has made four movies in three different genres, and I haven't seen him praise you even once!"
Tang An spread his hands, "I'm not good enough and people don't like me. What can I do? Director Feng, don't you think so?"
"Director Tang is so humble!"
Over there, Zheng Zhiwei was not finished yet. When asked by a reporter what he thought of Tang An, who had made three unpopular movies in succession, he said to the reporter earnestly.
"Tang An is a good director, and I have watched three of his films. Although "Shark Beach" is a bit rough in production, the subject matter is still quite new. "Superbody" is one of the few science fiction films in China, although it mostly focuses on action scenes.
, but some of the special effects are pretty good, and it’s a bit familiar to the 1987 “The Legend of Wesley”, both of which are action science fiction films.”
"However, I think the spy movie "The Wind" is a bit too hasty. You can make one or two low-budget movies first. After all, it is an unpopular genre. Spending 100 million rashly on it is too risky. Young people are really too young.
It’s irrational.”
It seems that there is no derogatory meaning, but the comparison between "Super Body" and "The Legend of Wesley" shows that young people are irrational and full of ridicule.
Can "The Legend of Wesley" be considered a science fiction film?
Roughly made?
According to this standard, how many of those rush-produced films in Xiangjiang are watchable!
When you look at it on a computer, it all looks fake and can’t be fake anymore.
This must be Shi Lezhi after drinking alcohol!
After Zheng Zhiwei left, reporters also spotted Tang An and Feng Xiaogang and immediately came to greet them.
"Hello Director Feng, just now Zheng Zhiwei said that the current homogeneity of domestic movies is too serious, and they are all costly and thankless projects. The domestic box office of "The Night Banquet" is not as high as the cost. Director Feng thinks there are too many costume films on the market.
, the audience is already tired of aesthetic appreciation?”
The microphone was placed next to Feng Xiaogang. He remained calm and said with a faint smile, "Overall, "The Night Banquet" is a success. The box office speaks for itself."
"But the audience's reputation is not good, and the box office is not as good as Director Tang's 50 million film "Super Body"!" the reporter asked!
Faced with the reporter's provocation, Tang An spoke first, "This is actually due to the schedule. After all, the market capacity of the National Day period is not as large as that of the summer period. Director Feng has set a new box office record for the National Day period, which is already very rare!"
The reporter still refused to give up, ""The Night Banquet" did not achieve the expected results. Director Feng followed the trend and shot a costume blockbuster this time, which is considered a failure. Will he continue next time?"
“My next movie is a modern war movie!”
Feng Xiaogang said angrily and left without caring about the reporter's reaction!
This sentence stunned several reporters. When they came back to their senses and wanted to pursue him, Tang An had already asked Zhang Hanyu, Wang Xiaoming and others to follow him.
"Director Tang, just now Director Feng said that the new film will be a modern war film. What are the details? Is it an anti-war film?"
"First, Director Tang, you want to make a spy film, and Director Feng wants to make a modern war film. Is this what you have agreed upon?"
"Next year marks the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. Is this a tribute film?"
"Is this mandated from above?"
Tang An is now the artistic director of Huayi, so reporters naturally want to get information from him.
"I don't know the specific situation. This is also the first time I heard Director Feng say that he wants to make a war movie!"
Tang An looked confused and didn't know what to ask.
After questioning several times to no avail, the reporters stopped insisting.
"Director Tang has made four films in three genres from horror films, science fiction films to spy films. Do you also feel that domestic films are too monotonous nowadays?"
"How could it be!"
Tang An pretended to be surprised, "Why do you say that?"
A reporter repeated what Zheng Zhiwei said just now, waiting for Tang An's answer.
"This is biased. The top five domestic movies this year at the box office are "Super Body", "The Banquet", "Fearless", "Baby Project", "Scar City", a science fiction film, and a costume film.
Movies, two action movies and one crime movie, how can we say the genre is single?" Tang An argued with reason.
To put facts into perspective, there are actually many types of domestic films nowadays.
"but..."
Tang An changed his voice, "Actually, 20 years ago, Hong Kong's film genres were relatively single. There were 6 films of "Mr. Zombie", 6 films of "Five Lucky Stars" series, 5 films of "Best Partner", and "Happy Ghost".
"Five movies have been made in the series, and there are a large number of follow-up movies. Each genre cannot be popular for three to five years."
"It has been four years since our costume films began with "Hero", and costume films can be seen in the top three at the box office every year. This development is benign!"
"By the way, it seems that Mr. Zheng Zhiwei starred in the Lucky Star series. There were also three movies in the Chasing Girl series and three in the Rich and Powerful series. These were all comedy films. Why didn't Mr. Zheng Zhiwei think of them at that time?
Change the type!”
After saying that, Tang An left directly.
What can't you put yourself in the right place?
"Your words will easily offend a large number of Xiangjiang directors!" Li Binbin said with some worry.
"So what if I offend you? Even if you offend all the directors in Xiangjiang, it's not a big deal for the film company. I don't rely on them!"
"Don't worry, go back and rest, there's a flight tomorrow morning!" Tang An patted her on the shoulder and said.
In today's Xiangjiang entertainment circle, no matter what kind of bullshit bosses come to the mainland, they are still nothing more than worms.
In fact, apart from the top actors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, no singer makes as much money.
Yung Zuer and Twins earned 106 million this year, and the other actors in the entire industry together probably don't have that much.
Guo Fucheng and Andy Lau's movie income is not as high as their concerts and records.
If the record market slumps in a few years, it will become even worse.
Go back to the room, take a shower, and grab something to eat from the refrigerator.
I haven't eaten dinner yet, so I'm really hungry.
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.
Come again!
Tang An slowly walked to the door and opened the door.
It’s not Li Binbin, it’s Zhang Jingchu!
Tang An frowned, "How do you know I live here?"
"Director Tang, I happen to be staying in this hotel, and I saw you this afternoon." Zhang Jingchu stood at the door with a smile.
"Come in first!"
Tang An invited her in, "Is there anything else Miss Zhang can do?"
"I came here specifically to thank Director Tang!"
"No need to thank you, that movie also helped me make some money!"
They are all adults, adults in the entertainment industry.
After a few polite words, Tang An still had some fruit on the table and treated her to a banana.
Peel the banana, lick it, bite it, swallow it whole, and swallow it.
Tang An continued to pick up half of the watermelon. He liked to eat it with a spoon. He aimed at the reddest piece in the middle and stabbed it in. When the spoon turned, a large piece of pulp came out.
Repeat this, and it won't take long for half of the watermelon to be eaten, leaving the inside full of juice.
As Tang An expected, after eating, Zhang Jingchu wanted Tang An to find her a role or something, saying that Huayi had so many film and television dramas a year, so she could give her two roles at random.
"If you want a role, you can invest in the materials yourself, and the director will naturally take notice of it!"
"Director Tang, you can't do this!"
Zhang Jingchu leaned against Tang An and whispered, "If someone finds me entering your room, it will be bad for your reputation!"
"It's okay to announce our relationship by then, we're both single!" Tang An said nonchalantly.
Zhang Jingchu felt happy, but she heard Tang An continue to speak slowly, "I think there are not many directors in the mainland who dare to touch my woman. Those people you used to have will definitely not associate with you again. After one or two
I will announce our breakup again in the next month!"
Tang An said and gave her a mysterious smile, "What do you think?"
Before Tang An could finish speaking, Zhang Jingchu seemed to have something stuck in her throat, unable to speak, and the smile on her face instantly froze.
He quickly hugged Tang An's arm and said, "Director Tang, you misunderstood. I was just wondering if you would have any suitable roles in the future and if you could consider me."
"If there is a suitable role, you will be considered. Go back first!" Tang An said calmly.
