Chapter 300 The most tragic summer vacation is all set!)

"Although it is Director Xu's first time directing, looking at some of the TV series he has starred in in the past, he has a strong personal comedy style. I expected that this time "Unfortunate" can achieve a box office of 100 million yuan.

."

At the celebration press conference, the media was still dominated by Tang An. He praised Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Li Xiaoru.

Celebrating success, isn’t it just like this, business blows off each other.

Then the reporter asked about the filming of "Chinese Partner" and when it will be released.

"At present, all the scenes in the mainland have been completed, and we will go to New York for filming later. It is expected that we will still meet the audience in the summer." Tang An replied with a smile.

"Director Tang, it is understood that "Transformers 2" has been scheduled to be released on June 24. Are you confident that you will defeat the Autobots again and win the summer box office championship?"

The box office battle between "Transformers" and "The Wind" is the first time such fierce competition has occurred in the summer season. The former has also received more than 200 million in box office in the mainland and has made 700 million US dollars globally. It has become a new super IP.

.

Two years later, with the foundation of the previous film, everyone knows that the box office will not be low.

"Confidence comes from the quality of the movie. I think as long as I make a good movie with my heart, the audience will definitely support me with practical actions."

This year's summer season is the most intense in history. How could Tang An not know that?

"Transformers 2" with a box office of 400 million yuan, 4 Hollywood blockbusters with a box office of 100 million yuan, and 5 movies with a box office of more than 70 million yuan.

The total box office of The Originals this summer season reached 1.65 billion, while last year it was only 460 million. Even if "Now Now" is included, it is not half of this year's box office.

Even so, Tang An did not give in. Zhang Yimou defeated "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" with "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". Even if he just couldn't beat "Avatar", would he still be afraid of a "Transformers"?

In fact, even if Tang An is not released in the summer, no one will say that he ran away, after all, he killed "Red Cliff" last year.

It's just that the Lunar New Year period is also a death period, such as "2012", "Mulan", "The Tomb", "The Storm 2", "Three Guns", "The Guard", "Confucius", "Su Qier", "

"October Siege" will be released together.

A large number of movies were originally competing for the Lunar New Year slot, or they avoided the summer slot due to "Transformers" and Tang An's new film. This year, there are more than 10 blockbusters in the Lunar New Year slot.

In the past, it was usually two blockbusters competing, but this year is considered the most brutal Lunar New Year movie ever.

These movies all seem to have the potential to be huge hits.

The male and female protagonists of "Mulan" have just filmed "Painted Skin".

"Chill" features Jay Chou, Chen Daoming and Lin Zhiling.

"Wind and Cloud 2" is an old IP and quite popular.

In "Three Guns" Zhang Yimou is enough.

"Jinyiwei" has Donnie Yen and Zhao Wei.

"October Siege" has an all-star cast, and producer Chen Kexin is also a capable director.

If Tang An joins in the fun again, it will turn into a mess.

Fortunately, "Transformers" was released early, and "Partners in China" was released in mid-July, with a gap of more than half a month, so it didn't have much impact on me.

Tang An left the rest of the time to Xu Zheng and the actors, and there was a cocktail party after the press conference.

"The success of "The Journey" is due to everyone's unremitting efforts. Thank you all!"

Tang An had a drink with the actors, took out the red envelopes he had prepared and handed out one to each of them.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang!"

"Mr. Tang, you're welcome!"

The production cost of this film was 6 million, so you can imagine how much the actors' remuneration would be. Naturally, I would be happy to have more income.

"Mr. Tang, thank you for giving me this opportunity." Wang Baoqiang drank a glass of wine in one gulp while speaking unstandardized Mandarin.

"Mr. Tang, let me toast you too." Li Xiaoru, who was also in Huayi, also drank a toast with a smile on her face.

Originally, he was a little bit resentful about Tang An taking away the lead role in "Struggle", but he didn't dare to complain.

Unexpectedly, "The Lost Way" would break the 100 million mark, which added to her big-screen credentials, even though she didn't have many roles.

If she knew that the original heroine of "Nightclub" was favored by Tang Yan, she would probably be even more unhappy. After all, Tang An supported Tang Yan.

"Nightclub" has Chengtian's investment, so of course Wu Bo will use his own actresses.

Soon they walked away consciously, leaving Tang An and Xu Zheng behind.

"Director Xu, do you have any good ideas about the sequel?"

"Mr. Tang, if we want to make a sequel, it would be best to make a similar road comedy. However, we have already filmed the Spring Festival travel season, so I haven't decided where to start."

Xu Zheng wholeheartedly approves of making a sequel. The risks are low and the returns are high. It is perfect for a director like him who has not yet proven himself.

However, it is indeed not easy to shoot the sequel well. After all, Zhu Yu was the first, and during this period of time, he almost scratched his head while conceiving the plot.

It seems that Xu Zheng is still confined to the country, Tang An thought for a while and smiled.

"If you don't have any good ideas at home, you can go abroad. Find a country with characteristics, with tourism as the main theme, comedy as the main theme, and elements such as car chases, escapes, gun battles, and suspense inserted in the middle. Combined with the local characteristics, for example, Thailand adds shemales

Go in..."

Tang An did not directly tell him the plot of "囧囧", but only gave him a general idea and let him think about it himself.

Xu Zheng's eyes lit up, yes, there are so many countries in the world, how can there be no material.

Go on an adventure in Africa, steal treasure from the Louvre, battle wits with the FBI, and cause havoc in a Las Vegas casino...

It's just that filming abroad will inevitably cost a lot of money, and it can't be done with just a few million.

"In addition to the salary for you and the actors, I will increase the production cost to 20 million for you. We will discuss the details after you finish the script."

Tang An dispelled his concerns. The pure production cost was 20 million, which was already a lot.

This is still taking into account that it will take a long time to go abroad. After all, the production cost of "China Partner" is only 20 million, excluding publicity and actors' remuneration.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, 20 million is enough for filming in Southeast Asia." Xu Zheng was overjoyed and said immediately.

20 million, plus the salary of him and other actors, as well as publicity expenses, the cost of this movie is at least 40 million, which is already considered a medium-cost movie.

And judging from Tang An's tone, the salary for the next movie should not be less.

"This sequel will be completed by Director Xu alone. I only have one request. The comedy must have a comedy effect. Try to have a laugh in every scene and don't use too many sensational things."

Tang An said seriously that he still needed to be warned about some things to avoid making a nondescript movie for him.

"Don't worry, Director Tang, I promise that the audience won't be able to stop."

Xu Zheng nodded. He was not stupid. Don't stuff private goods until you reach a certain level. That is the exclusive domain of great directors.
