When the Lunar New Year festival is at its most intense, "A City of Golden Armor" is carrying out an inhumane massacre of other movies.
New Picture and China Film released 1,200 copies on the first day, and the film schedule was as high as nearly 70%, completely squeezing the living space of other films.
Nowadays, the film market only distinguishes between "The City of Gold" and other films.
The total box office of all movies every day is more than 0.
Under such circumstances, Tang An's new film "The Wind" held a press conference in Beijing.
There is no need to be too high-profile, and being high-profile is of no use. Now all the news pages are occupied by Zhang Yimou.
Even so, there were quite a few media present at the scene. After all, it was a film by Tang An, one of the only directors with billions of dollars in the country!
Wang Zhongjun, Tang An, Chen Guofu, Xu Manyun, Zhao Jun and the cast and crew all attended the launch conference and sat in a row.
Tang An straightened the microphone, looked around, and first expressed his gratitude to the media friends present.
"After four months of preparation and the joint efforts of thousands of people, the preliminary preparation work for my new film "The Wind" has finally been basically completed. Today is the day when the film officially starts filming!"
Tang An sighed with emotion, it was indeed not easy. The scene looked quite simple, but the preparation was not as easy as a costume blockbuster.
"I would like to thank Director Wang for his strong support and Mr. Xu, Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhao for their cooperation!"
Wang Zhongjun also expressed his expectations for the movie and said a few words.
As an investor and producer, Xu Manyun had Tang An come forward three times in the past. This time Tang An was working in Huayi, so she had to speak on behalf of Tang An Film and Television Studio.
After more than two years, I have come into contact with many people and things, and I have become much more mature. It is easy to deal with this kind of situation.
A reporter keenly noticed that Tang An just mentioned the preparations for thousands of people, and expressed curiosity about it.
"Director Tang, since "The Wind" is a spy film, why did it require so much manpower and four months of preparation? Are there any war scenes to be shot?"
The Big Penguin reporter was the first to ask a question.
"I've said it before, this movie doesn't have any war scenes!"
"Most of the scenes in the entire film were completed in a villa during the Republic of China. In order to conform to the characteristics of that era, I asked the production department to build a Republic of China villa with an area of more than 2,000 square meters from scratch. All
All the props are old items!”
"If that's the case, then why does it cost 100 million to produce?" the reporter then asked.
Tang An chuckled lightly and winked at the staff member next to him.
"Of course money should be spent where it should be spent. Now let me show you the scene inside the villa!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a picture of Qiuzhuang Hall was displayed on the LED display behind him.
Looking from the inside, the villa has two floors, is nearly 15 meters high, and is full of antique objects.
Tang An began to introduce, "Our crew has collected more than 6,000 antiques in total, most of which are genuine old objects. There are more than 5,000 books on the bookshelf alone, and not one of them is an empty shell!"
Photos flashed past the bookshelves in several rooms one by one, with rows of ancient books in full view.
"Look at this chandelier in the lobby, it cost 80,000 yuan!"
"These two pianos, the antique grand piano in the hall is worth 720,000, and the upright piano in this room is worth 330,000. The rent alone is more than 100,000."
"These antique leather sofas, solid wood tables and chairs, vases, and antique furnishings are all shipped from collectors across the country, and they cost a lot of money!"
"As well as the interior wallpaper, in order to unify the indoor wallpaper style, we found several domestic manufacturers, but they were unable to produce it in more than a month. We had to urgently recruit major wallpaper manufacturers at home and abroad to bring them to Beijing and Shanghai.
, wallpapers with similar styles from Ninghang, Tianjing and other major cities were all flown over.”
...
As Tang An explained, the reporters looked at the photos differently.
If they are all old objects, it is not surprising that it costs so much for such a large area.
"Director Tang, but what if the things inside are damaged?"
“What if the antiques inside are stolen?”
The reporters asked about their concerns one by one.
Tang An waved his hand and said with a smile, "We have bought a huge amount of insurance for this, and hired a top-notch security company in the country, with dozens of professional security teams protecting it 24 hours a day!"
Tang An also posted a policy as he spoke.
Life insurance policy with an insured amount of 7 million!
"This is just one of the policies purchased from different insurance companies due to the huge amount!"
In fact, the things inside are only worth 7 million, and except for some real things, most of them are fake.
But this does not prevent Tang An from bragging.
Just when the reporters were marveling at this, Tang An finally threw out a number, which shocked them!
"The cost of building this villa, including the wages of thousands of workers, is 20 million in total!"
Wow!
With 20 million, you can buy several villas in Beijing!
What a luxurious movie!
This is the thought that pops up in everyone's head.
“My consistent aim is that if you do something, you must do your best within your capabilities!”
Then two other exterior scenes were shown, including Qiuzhuang, which hangs alone on a thousand-foot cliff, with flames of war on the sea, and fighter jets gliding past.
The bustling streets of Mingguo are lined with shops from all over the world!
For a movie, the setting is no less important than the actors' performances.
In a real scene, it can make the audience feel more immersed in the scene. Otherwise, the background can be seen through at a glance, even if the acting skills are incredible, they will not be able to watch it.
If we use all new things, it will feel too inconsistent!
After that, Tang An showed a few more posters.
There is a group photo of people with different expressions in the inner hall of Qiuzhuang, and a photo of several people walking on the iron bridge thousands of feet above.
The colors are all gray and dark, quite weird and heavy.
After the presentation, reporters continued to ask questions.
"Director Wang, why are you willing to invest 100 million yuan in a spy film? Aren't you worried that you won't be able to recover the cost?"
"I believe in Director Tang's ability. He has never failed in the previous three films. Those who succeed will always succeed!" Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.
"Then what's the box office you expect?"
"Of course I hope the more the better, but this still depends on Director Tang!"
Wang Zhongjun said and looked at Tang An.
"Twenty million!"
Tang An looked at the audience calmly and expressed his psychological expectations very confidently.
There will still be three or two kittens in next year's summer movie. With the RP accumulated from his three movies and the quality of the movies, he is confident that it will reach 200 million!
Such a conceited Tang An made reporters look askance at him.
"Director Tang, currently the only movie with a box office of over 200 million in China is "Hero". Why do you think a spy movie can get a box office of 200 million?"
"Depending on the quality of the movie!" Tang An said slowly.
