Chapter 313 In order to build a harmonious society
"Crack."
Tang An looked at the news on the Internet, shook his head, and turned off the computer.
Xu Manyun smiled and said, ""Nanjing Nanjing" has been very controversial recently. There are related news everywhere, and other movies have been overshadowed."
"It's normal to be controversial. I didn't see "Rabe's Diary" taking over one million in box office in one day."
"But I don't know what Lu Chuan was thinking about making such a movie."
"No matter what he thinks, it has nothing to do with us. We don't need to pay attention to him."
The above has been reviewed, what else is there to say, no matter what, it will be released in theaters.
However, Lu Chuan's side also found many navy troops to clear his name, but the methods were not very clever.
Take a look at the posts on Douban, Tianya, and Zhihu. They all have titles similar to "Those who say "Nanjing Nanjing" glorifies the Japanese people have not understood this movie at all."
Tang An found it a bit funny. He could always throw the blame to the audience, open his mouth or shut up, but the audience couldn't understand it.
Even if one or two viewers can't understand it, is it possible that everyone's IQ has dropped?
"Farewell My Concubine" is artistic enough, but why did the audience understand it?
Is Hollywood's "Forrest Gump" artistic enough? Why is the box office so high?
During this time, Lu Chuan led the crew all over the place, explaining his theories everywhere he went.
Not to mention, the bigger the controversy, the higher the box office. It took over 50 million at the box office in the first five days of the weekend, and it is stable to exceed 100 million.
Many actors and directors in the industry have been interviewed about their views on this movie, including Tang An.
Most people's responses were surprisingly unanimous. He talked a lot, either praising Liu Ye's performance or not expressing his views on the contradictions in the movie itself.
It’s better to say less about this somewhat sensitive matter. It’s already been reviewed above, so what else can be said.
In order to build a harmonious society!
No longer discussing this issue, Tang An began to talk about "People on an embarrassing road in Thailand".
After nearly a month, Xu Zheng revised the script three times before Tang An finally made the final decision and decided on the title.
Xu Zheng also let Xu Zheng decide on the actor choice. By coincidence, it was Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang.
Tang An just asked for a supporting role, Yang Mi guest-starred as the sexy elevator lady/demon, and the original Fan Binbin was replaced by Tang Yan.
Although it was just a cameo and no role, it still attracted some attention when it was released.
For other roles, Tang An asked Xu Zheng to choose from Huayi, and he chose whatever was cheap.
"After reviewing the script, we should sign the actor's contract as soon as possible. It will be May in two days, and the crew still has one or two months to prepare, so there is not much time."
Tang An warned Xu Manyun.
"I will assemble the crew as soon as possible and send the location team to Thailand to find suitable shooting locations."
Xu Manyun nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What about the remuneration?"
"Let's just follow the market price. Director Xu Zheng's salary will be 3 million."
A director's salary of 3 million is a lot, and it is already close to the price of a first-tier director.
Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" has a box office of over 100 million, but his current salary has only increased to 3 million.
The purpose of setting an inflated salary was to prevent Xu Zheng from feeling resentful after the movie was released.
Human nature is complex. If the box office revenue reaches 700 million or 800 million or even 1 billion, Xu Zheng will definitely feel unhappy and even resentful if he thinks about his little remuneration.
If the remuneration is set higher and a bonus is given, he won't be embarrassed to say anything, and this is also to continue the cooperation in the future.
Of course, if Xu Zheng is disobedient and demands excessive conditions, Tang An will replace him without hesitation.
Xu Manyuan made a calculation in her mind. The production cost was 20 million. Xu Zheng's director's salary was 3 million and the other actors' salary was about 7 million. That is to say, the total production cost was 30 million. In this case, "People on the Road"
"There's not much left in the box office share."
...
That evening, Tang An went to the National Center for the Performing Arts to participate in the "Most Popular Post-80s Actors Event" hosted by CCTV and Tengxun today.
This time it is considered a semi-official selection. Tengxun is ambitious and wants to surpass Xinlang and become the largest portal website in the country. The cooperation between the two and hundreds of well-known media will make the momentum no less than the previous ones.
This time, we not only selected the New Four Xiaohuadan and the New Four Big Students, but also selected the four major trendsetters, the four major vases, the four major heavenly groups, the post-80s fashion artists, and the post-80s supreme dance king through the Internet.
The most popular artist, the most charming artist, the most watched artist, the most wronged artist award, and the most unlucky artist award voted by the media.
The artist with the worst impression, the artist with the most kindness, the artist with the most entertaining spirit,
The most hyped artist, the most popular director, the unluckiest director,
Awards such as the most commercial director and the most dedicated director.
It can be said that every imaginable title is available, covering most of the artists from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.
Tang An is not only here to watch today, he also wants to present awards, accept awards, and comment on artists.
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei didn't come. They were still working on the real estate plan. This time, Tang An and Feng Xiaogang came with a group of artists from Huayi.
On the way, Tang An took the initiative to chat with Feng Xiaogang, "Director Feng, how are the preparations for "Tangshan Earthquake" going?"
"It's almost there. Shooting is expected to start in two months."
Feng Xiaogang has been preparing for this movie for two or three years. This sensitive subject also encountered some twists and turns, especially last year, which almost caused the project to be shelved.
Fortunately, the Tangshan Municipal Government has taken care of official matters, and now we can finally relax.
We exchanged some more questions about the movie, and soon we arrived at the National Center for the Performing Arts.
As an annual event, Tengxun does its best to host it, and its scale is not much smaller than the three major film festivals in the mainland.
The red carpet has been rolled out from the public hall, at least a hundred meters long, and reporters and fans around have been looking forward to it for a long time.
Looking up, there are celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. Coupled with the weather getting warmer, all the female celebrities wish they had one or two pieces of fabric missing from their bodies.
After walking down the long red carpet and being grilled by reporters again, I walked into the theater.
Thousands of seats are arranged in a fan shape facing the stage in front, so audiences from any direction can have a complete view of the stage.
In fact, the opera house is the largest and most luxurious, but it is a bit inappropriate as an awards venue.
His position is in the middle area, and there are people sitting next to him.
In the first row are not great directors like Tang An, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou, but top-tier stars like Jay Chou, Andy Lau, Zou Xun, and Li Binbin.
According to seniority, those with low reputations sit in the back. The four actresses and the four young actors who are relatively famous sit in the second row.
Behind Tang An are Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Dong Xuan, Hu Ge and other well-known actors born in the 1980s.
