Chapter 200 If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight
July 27, Friday.
Jiefang Street, Dongli District, Tianjing City.
The originally prosperous Tianjing Financial Center today gathered more people than ever before.
Some people who didn't know the truth pointed to the stage being built in front of them and wondered, "Hey, what's going on today? What is that doing?"
"You don't know yet, but the great director Tang An is coming tonight, and it has already spread all over the place!" Someone next to him explained.
"Tang An? Is he the one who filmed "Super Body" and "The Wind"? Is he going to come to the event?"
"Yeah, I think I'll be here at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. I won't say anything anymore. I'll go home and have dinner first before I come back!"
"Then I'm going to come and take a look. Let's find a place to eat first!" said the person next to him, who was also getting ready to eat.
At this time, a young boy with a crew cut nearby stopped him, "Brother, do you want some money?"
"What? Do you still need to buy a ticket?"
"That's for sure. Didn't you see that there are all seats installed here? Without a ticket, I can only watch from a distance!"
"Then...how much does one cost?"
"300."
...
"The Wind Rises in Jinye" is the name of the event organized by Tianjing TV for "The Wind". It is also a new program added by the TV station to reveal the behind-the-scenes stories of the filming of the film.
In the square next to Jiefang Street, hundreds of staff were already setting up the stage, and a 20-meter-high super-large screen was also transported and set up.
There are nearly a thousand chairs of the same style and color placed opposite the stage.
Although it was not time to get off work at this time, a lot of people had already gathered around, pointing and pointing.
You need to buy tickets for the seats inside, which are sold to the public for 50 yuan each, which is twice as expensive as a movie ticket. However, in addition to the main creator of "The Wind", Tianjing TV also invited some singers to participate.
However, most of these tickets fell into the hands of scalpers, who doubled them several times and sold them for two to three hundred.
There are quite a few people buying scalper tickets. Although Tianjing is a municipality directly under the Central Government, it goes without saying that it is prosperous, but the presence of this place is really weak, and it is close to the capital. It is rare for big stars to make a special trip to attend events.
Tang An and his party also arrived in Tianjing in the morning, took a rest at noon, and then rushed to the TV station.
Backstage at Tianjing TV Station, Tang An greeted several leaders on the station one by one.
Then I communicated with the producer of the program about the activity process, and then reviewed the content of the activity with the host.
I started putting on makeup at three o'clock in the afternoon and took a full hour and a half.
Fortunately for the male compatriots, Zou Xun had a hairstyle from the Republic of China era, with a four-to-six-part hairdo. The left curly hair covered half of his eyes, and the right curly hair was pulled up to the base of the ear, exposing the entire ear.
Li Binbin's hair is 28 points. She combed her hair from the dividing line on the right to the left, and permed and curled her hair at the end.
Tang Yan didn't do it that complicated. Her long, slightly curly shawl hair was scattered on her shoulders, looking a little playful.
Zhang Hanyu, Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Zhiwen all wore uniform suits, black, white, silver, and brown.
Tang An looked at their various styles and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Ready!"
"Yu Shaoyu, why are you wearing a tie and being so formal!"
"Then Director Tang, let me take it off." Yu Shaoyu quickly took off the tie.
"Let's go!"
Tang An waved his hand and led everyone out of the TV station and got into a modified nanny car.
When I arrived at the scene at 6pm, the red carpet had already been laid out.
It was done quite decently, with a large audience and a lot of reporters.
After preparation, everyone walked onto the red carpet one by one, with Tang An walking at the end.
The fans who watched the movie twice were still very enthusiastic, so much so that Tang An didn't dare to move too far to the side and almost got grabbed by them.
I signed autographs, took photos, and listened twice to the excited shouts of the fans in front of me, and walked slowly all the way to the venue.
"Now let us welcome the director of "The Wind"...Tang An..."
The host's voice was very long.
"Welcome Director Tang!"
"Hello, host!"
"Hello Director Tang!"
"Isn't this the first time Director Tang has come to our Tianjing for an event?"
Tang An took a microphone and said with a smile, "I have come here several times to promote movies before, but they were always in the cinema. This is the first time!"
"Director Tang, Feng Sheng's total box office has now exceeded the 100 million mark, becoming the tenth domestic movie with a box office of 100 million yuan. And you alone accounted for two of these ten movies. Many media call you a commercial film master.
What do you think?"
This is a sharp question. With Tang An's current age and achievements, it is not impossible to accept it calmly.
After all, being young, being confident or even arrogant is not a problem at all, the results are there.
Even if some veteran filmmakers are unhappy, they are unlikely to say it in public. After all, in commercial movies, except for Zhang Yimou, no one can suppress Tang An.
Four movies in a row, three genres, all of which don’t have much market in the country!
But this was imposed on him by the media, and Tang An did not need the media's praise.
Sooner or later, this title will naturally fall on him. When people discuss commercial films, the first person who thinks of him is Tang An, not anyone else.
Real masters cannot be judged by a few media outlets. If that were the case, the masters would be too worthless.
In later generations, no matter what kind of artist they are, they are very keen on hype. Some of them have no works for a year or two, but after making one movie, they become a popular new star, and soon they become a popular actress.
There are also some singers who are usually given the title of creative genius when they first debut, and they can get this title on any song they write.
Then I participated in several variety shows, gained some popularity, and became a new star in the music industry, a popular singer, and then directly became the little king of the music industry. This is not over yet, and then I brought someone of Jay Chou's level out for comparison.
Then when the crowd saw that they could all be compared to Jay Chou, they started to tear each other apart.
It's good to tear it apart. If you don't tear it up, how can you be famous? If you tear it apart, you will be known as the little king.
In fact, looking back, many people have no masterpieces at all, their concerts don’t sell much, and their album sales are just that.
The public may only know a name, but they may not even know what scenes they filmed or what songs they sang.
It’s a matter of speculation. After one media outlet, they then go on to stir up others. Anyway, it’s just to attract attention.
The Double Mondays are not created by speculation, nor are the top four Hollywood directors created by speculation, nor are the Hollywood 20 million clubs created by speculation. They must be based on real results and the accumulation of blockbuster movies over the years.
Tang An pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you very much for the support from my friends in the media. I officially became a director in 2004. From a crew of only two or three people to more than 200 people today, I made four films in three years.
It has been a smooth journey all the way, thanks to the support of the audience. It is because of your support that I can stand here today!"
"Master is a heavy honor. You can't just put it on your head with peace of mind after making two blockbuster movies. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. I hope that one day in the future I can truly bear the title of master.
I also hope everyone can continue to support my movies!"
“Thank you everyone!”
"Then I wish Director Tang can realize his dream as soon as possible, and I believe that the audience will continue to support Director Tang An and his movies, don't you think so!"
When saying the last sentence, the host turned the microphone to the audience.
The audience at the scene was also very proud and shouted excitedly at the top of their lungs.
"yes!!!!"
Then we talked about the movie itself. After asking some formulaic questions about the film's creation process, the host asked Tang An to comment on the performances of several actors.
"In fact, after four months of cooperation, the performance of these actors has become almost perfect, otherwise there would not be the "Wind" that everyone is seeing now."
"Binbin didn't smoke originally. She practiced smoking for two months before the filming started, so she looks so natural. And her smoking will not offend people, but gives people the feeling of a lady!
"
"You can see that there is a gentle feeling!" The host nodded.
"Then Zou Xun's character is also a lady, but she is similar to the unruly eldest lady. She is an indifferent person. Her nature is like this, straightforward and bold. She dares to do what others dare not do, but she is not that kind of willful.
It’s so annoying!”
"Wu Zhiguo has a very strong mark of the times. In terms of character, he is more in line with the characteristics of our underground party members. He is a soldier, wise and perseverant. No physical or mental pain can destroy him. He is a
Approaching the perfect image of a communist!"
"Zhang Hanyu's performance was also very good, whether it was his reaction during the torture or later singing "Empty City Strategy" while lying on the hospital bed with a weak voice!"
"Jin Shenghuo, played by Teacher Yingda, is also very talented. He seems to have the lowest IQ among everyone, but in fact he is very wise and foolish. He is a typical complex!"
The host also echoed, "Actually, when I was watching the movie, I couldn't figure out whether Jin Shenghuo was wise or stupid, clumsy or cunning."
"In fact, the fact that he can climb to the position of director of the Military Aircraft Department and become one of the suspects of the "Old Ghost" speaks volumes!" Tang An explained.
Then Tang An looked at Ni Dahong and said, "The character Lao Turtle has very few words and movements in the play, so he has to make all his movements in order to fully convey the message that the audience needs."
