Han Sanping left with satisfaction. He had not made a movie for more than 10 years. This time, Huang Jianxin and Tang An were helping to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Tang An lost a month's vacation, but he could further strengthen his relationship with Han Sanping.
Moreover, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is also a joint venture between several companies such as Magic City Film Group, which is also a good opportunity to make connections.
Wang Zhongjun also suffered no losses, and it was not him who did the work.
Tang An looked around and asked, "By the way, why didn't Director Wu come? Didn't Director Wang invite you?"
It's not like they are so small-minded, they even invited them to the celebration party.
Wang Zhongjun laughed and said, "He said he is busy recently and has no time to come over."
The relationship is that Wu Bo is short-tempered and doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of Wang Zhongjun.
Tang An shook his head and said with a smile, "Next time, we must invite Director Wu to the 300 million celebration banquet, otherwise others will think we are stingy."
"That's right, I'll go and invite him personally next time." Wang Zhongjun had a smile on his face and took a sip of the wine in his glass.
"By the way, when will the several movies Mr. Tang recently invested in be released? Do you need my help in distributing them?"
""Painted Skin" will be released on the National Day holiday. I promised Yu Dongjie Bernard when I originally invested in it. "Spike" will be released on the Lunar New Year holiday. "The Journey" will be released during the Spring Festival. Don't we also have director Feng's "Extraordinary"
"Do Not Disturb" and "You Long Xi Feng" are going to be released, I won't cause any trouble to the company. It happens that there are no films during Dong's Lunar New Year this year, so I asked him to help." Tang An said with a smile.
"No matter what Mr. Tang says, it's all our own. If you have any trouble, just come to me at any time." Wang Zhongjun waved his hand.
If Tang An really wants Huayi to distribute it, it will be difficult for him. If the box office is high, he doesn't want to see it. If it is low, he is afraid that Tang An will suspect that he is not trying his best, which will create a barrier.
After chatting with Wang Zhongjun, Tang An walked aside, where Wu Er Shanzheng and Xu Manyun were chatting about something.
"What are you talking about?"
Wu Ershan said quickly, "Mr. Tang, I am discussing with Mr. Xu the investment in "The Sword Sees Laughter."
Xu Manyun nodded.
"Last time, Director Wu said he needed an investment of 7 million, and the funds would be available as soon as "Painted Skin" is finished." Tang An said with a smile.
In the past, even begging grandpa and grandma could not get him the 7 million, but now Wu Ershan did not have the surprise he expected.
Tang An frowned, "Why, is Director Wu dissatisfied with anything?"
"No, no, it's just that I want to find Chen Kun and Zou Xun to star, and 7 million may not be enough." Wu Ershan said quickly.
The heroine he was originally looking for was Zhang Yuqi, the heroine of "Yangtze River No. 7" and the upcoming "Women Are Not Bad".
The male protagonist is a Japanese actor who has appeared in "Battle Royale". For this reason, I went to the set of "Mei Lanfang" to watch his performance live.
However, after filming "Painted Skin", the fans and reporters who came to visit the studio every day made him realize that he was just a new director. If the male and female protagonists were not well-known, they would almost be destined to fail.
"Mr. Tang, Chen Kun fits the character of a mute very well. He is handsome, melancholic, stubborn, introverted, and closed in his own world. His sense of mystery perfectly fits the character."
"What about Zou Xun? Does she qualify?" Tang An interrupted him.
"Do you still remember how you wrote the script? Does Zou Xun, a generation of courtesan who charmed all living beings because of his pride and coquettishness, and his beauty because of his coldness, also fit the bill?"
"Director Tang, Zou Xun is a little different, but I can make some changes. Her role in "Painted Skin" is very good."
"It's a difference in appearance. Unless you change the style of the movie, it won't work well together."
Wu Ershan wanted to explain, but Tang An continued, "Of course, I just put forward my opinion. I will not interfere with this project. From preparation to editing, you, Director Wu, have full control. As long as you can convince the two of them about the actors,
, I won’t object to it either.”
"Director Wu just has to think about it himself. Try to reach an agreement before "Painted Skin" is released. By then, if the box office explodes, the salary will increase."
...
"You really asked him to find Chen Kun and Zou Xun to star? In this case, the cost will be increased by at least 5 million!"
"It's a matter of his ability that he can be found. Zou Xun has three movies to be released this year, and tomorrow he will take on the heroine of two costume blockbusters. The schedule is already tight, not to mention this is a small-budget movie with an investment of 10 million."
"What if he uses your name?"
"He won't."
"Why?"
"Because I am not only the artistic director of Huayi, I am also a director, and he is also a director."
"You can let him work on "The Sword Sees Laughter" by himself, but it must be completed within a year. I will leave the capital in the afternoon. There is still more than 40 million in promotional expenses for "Now You See Me", so we must supervise it."
"Don't worry, as long as you are still in Huayi, they won't dare to do anything."
"Okay, then I'm leaving."
Tang An and the crew walked straight to the airport from the hotel and headed south for a half-month road show.
I have been to all areas around Beijing, starting directly from Jiangning Province.
I arrived at Nanjing in the afternoon and immediately took action without taking a rest.
Lukou International Airport is far away from the city center, and it took several hours of bus ride.
The first stop is China Film International Cinemas near Nanjing International Expo Center, then the happy blue sea of Central Shopping Mall, and finally to Xinjiekou, the most prosperous commercial center in Nanjing.
After leaving Nanjing, we went south to Suzhou, then turned right to the Magic City.
I spent one more day in Shanghai. After all, it is an international metropolis, and its box office output is among the best in all provinces and cities across the country.
In addition to the road show in Shanghai, we also recorded an interview program.
In one week, I visited 7 cities, including Hefei, Jiangcheng, Chongqing, and Shudu.
From east to west, it spans most of China.
The third week's box office results for "Now You See Me" are also out. Following Monday's 8 million, it received another 52 million, for a total of 60 million in seven days.
It was released for 18 days, with a total box office of 256 million!
"Red Cliff" received 29 million in the fourth week, bringing the total box office to 268 million.
The difference between the two is only 10 million!
The costume comedy movie "Nine Beauties", which was released on August 1, took in a box office of 7.5 million in the three days of the weekend, less than half of any of the other movies.
"Red Cliff" is 30 million short of breaking the 300 million mark, and "Now You See Me" is still 40 million short of it. There is a debate about which of the two movies can break the 100 million mark first, and whether "Now You See Me" can be released in the next two weeks.
Over 300 million, you can see it everywhere.
By August 4th, after the last week of intensive publicity, Huayi's publicity had obviously relaxed a bit.
However, relying on the early bombing and high audience reputation, it still received 4 million box office on Monday.
"Red Cliff" is still tenacious, relying on the model of big director + big star + big production to attract audiences to buy tickets.
2 million. "Red Cliff" took in 2 million at the box office on Monday and still retains hope of breaking 300 million.
