The premiere began, and Tang An, as the producer, led the creators on stage.
Most of the topics throughout the process focused on Tang An, treating Wu Ershan as a puppet.
This is normal. After all, there is a huge difference between Wu Ershan and Tang An.
Just like the later movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", several viewers could tell the director's origins and couldn't even name him.
That movie was invested by Ning Hao Company, and he and Xu Zheng co-produced it. When I talked about this movie, I subconsciously thought it was Xu Zheng's movie.
These are all normal things.
"Director Wu is a very talented person. I took a liking to him at first glance and gave him the director of "Painted Skin". I also believed that he would give me and the audience a satisfactory film.
Answer sheet."
Although Tang An repeatedly emphasized that he had no involvement in the production of "Painted Skin", the reporters just didn't believe it.
Even if I believe it in my heart, I don’t believe it with my mouth.
Wu Ershan's film or Tang An's film, which one has more topics and which one can attract the audience's attention?
Then he asked about the conflict between the two heroines, and he definitely denied it.
No matter what, actors cannot show any inappropriate attitude in front of the audience. Even if they have any grudges, they must pretend to be good sisters.
They are all veteran actors, so there is no problem with this.
Yang Mi and Zhao Wenzhuo also took turns to be interviewed. After interacting with the audience for a while, the movie officially started screening.
Basically, the plot has not changed much, and the main plot remains unchanged.
The flashback technique at the beginning tells the story of the relationship between Chen Kun and Zhao Wenzhuo. The nearly one-minute fight scene was quite good and immediately aroused the audience's emotions.
Then Chen Kun rescued the fox demon Zou Xun when he was suppressing bandits. This was the first person Zou Xun met who didn't have any lust in his eyes when he looked at her.
She fell in love with him.
Zou Xun followed Chen Kun back home and regarded herself as her younger sister. Seeing the deep love between Zou Xun and Chen Kun, she felt jealous and wanted to take her place.
And the lizard spirit who loves Zou Xun deeply and has been helping her kill people to get their hearts confessed her love several times but was kicked away.
Since Zou Xun arrived, more and more people in the city have had their hearts dug out. Zhao Wei has noticed that Zou Xun is different from ordinary people and has love for her husband.
Due to Chen Kun's trust in Zou Xun, she could only seek help from Zhao Wenzhuo, who had been wandering around the world and had always been in love with him. The demon conqueror Yang Mi also volunteered to eliminate the demon.
Zhao Wei witnessed Zou Xun murder with his own eyes and was threatened with drinking poison.
In the end, Zhao Wei turned into a demon with white hair and was killed by Chen Kun himself.
But Zou Xun also woke up and sacrificed herself to save everyone.
The happy ending, all the monsters are dead, the mistress is dead, the husband and wife are harmonious, and Zhao Wenzhuo, who had always cared about Zhao Wei, and Yang Mi go wandering around the world.
What a harmonious ending, in line with the world's outlook on life, values, and love.
"Poor Zhao Wei, her husband doesn't believe in her, no one in the family believes in her except Zhao Wenzhuo, poor Zou Xun, who has been practicing for thousands of years and only wants his beloved, poor lizard spirit, poor Zhao Wenzhuo, but Chen Kun is too coward, in reality this kind of
You scumbag should go to hell."
"Chen Kun is just a coward. He liked Xiao Wei but didn't dare to have sex with her. He also said he had a wife, had sex in his dream, and finally killed his wife with his own hands!"
"What are you talking about? You are very brave, aren't you? If you can, bring one back home!"
"Ah...no, honey...honey, I was wrong. Please stop pinching me. There are so many people watching."
...
Listening to the comments from the audience behind him, Wu Ershan breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want the movie to fail more than anyone else. Bernard and Tang An would end up losing some money, and what he lost might be the opportunity to enter the big screen in the future.
Who dares to use a new director who screwed up a big production?
Fortunately, the response from the audience has been pretty good, and now we can only wait for the box office to come out.
"Congratulations to Director Wu, it seems the audience is very satisfied."
Tang An smiled beside him.
"It's good that you didn't disappoint Mr. Tang." Wu Ershan said quickly.
The movie is actually somewhat different from the original version, at least the pace is a little faster.
The one filmed by Cheng Jiashang takes five or six seconds to say a sentence, then takes a breath for five or six seconds, slowly turns back, and stares for five or six seconds, and the other party answers for five or six seconds.
Moreover, there are a lot of long shots, which are long and slow, and have the characteristics of a literary film.
However, Wu Ershan did not deliberately make the pace too fast. After all, this is a romance film, and the choices are pretty good.
He went on stage and thanked the audience, signed some autographs, and then organized the audience to leave.
"Dong Yu, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, the publicity will definitely not be missed, and subsequent copies will be followed up as soon as possible."
Wang Zhongjun also came to support this time. It was the first time for him to watch the movie. It was well done in all aspects, and the emotional lines between the several people were not messy or delayed at all.
Looking at the audience's reaction and the publicity during this period, the box office will definitely not be too low.
"Mr. Tang has found a good project. "Painted Skin" has a good chance of exceeding 100 million."
After sighing, Yu Dong on the side smiled.
"Director Wang, please don't guess too much this time. Mr. Tang's expectation is 15 million on the first day. That's more than just over 100 million."
15 million?
Wang Zhongjun was shocked by this number.
There are only four movies this year that have a box office of more than 15 million on the first day. "Yangtze River 7" has Zhou Xingchi, "The King of Kung Fu" has two big stars, "Red Cliff" has a big production + big stars + big directors, and "Now You See Me"
There is Tang An.
What's in "Painted Skin"?
If Tang Anguang can sell 200 million yuan just by putting his name on it, then all the movies Huayi will invest in from now on can just have Tang An put his name as a producer and just sit and count the money.
Looking at Wang Zhongjun's expression, Yu Dong knew that he didn't believe it, so he smiled and said, "If Wang Zhongjun doesn't believe it, you can ask Mr. Tang."
"Dr. Yu is not joking. My expectations for this movie are indeed 200 million." Tang An nodded.
...
Wang Zhongjun didn't even know what to say. If this movie could earn 200 million, wouldn't it be so profitable?
He just thought Tang An was joking and bragging, and didn't take it seriously.
Afterwards, a banquet was held in a nearby hotel, and Li Xiaowan came to express his gratitude to Tang An.
The leading male lead in blockbusters, Long Xinda has never received such an important role since his establishment.
Tang An also talked about Chen Kun's starring role in "Swordsman Sees Laughter", and Li Xiaowan promised to go to Tang An's studio to sign the contract tomorrow morning.
I can save another two million. Every little bit I can save is worth it.
The banquet ended at 11 o'clock in the evening, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
As the only blockbuster film released during the National Day holiday, there was news everywhere about the film's release the next day.
"Hold the Call" was also affected to some extent, and there was no significant increase in box office yesterday.
The day passed quickly, and in the early morning of the 28th, the first-day box office of "Painted Skin" was released.
16.2 million on the first day!
This is the fourth-best first-day data this year, even higher than "The King of Kung Fu" by hundreds of thousands.
The sudden explosion shocked the entire entertainment industry.
Is Tang An's appeal really so strong that his name alone is worth so much money?
Many film and television companies are thinking about asking Tang An to have a name, even if it costs a little money.
But the media ignored it and started reporting and touting it as soon as the box office exploded.
Some people praise Wu Ershan and call him an outstanding director of the new generation.
Some people praise Tang An and attribute all this to him.
Of course, the leading actors were not to be outdone, and their respective teams took the credit for themselves.
