Chapter 401 'Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love' and Tenghua Momoyue
In the Qunxian Hall of the Guomao Hotel, half of the entertainment industry came to celebrate a movie with a box office of over 100 million.
Han Xiaoli, general manager of China Film Group.
Zhao Haicheng, deputy general manager of China Film Group.
DMG Media Group Xiao Wenge.
Huayi Chairman Wang Zhonghongjun, President Wang Zhonglei, Art Director and Production Director Gu Changwei, Director Feng Xiaogang.
Bernard Chairman Yu Dong.
Wang Changtian, Chairman of Guangxian Media.
The senior executives of other companies, directors, and actors have all arrived.
With this kind of situation, not many directors in the entertainment industry can do it.
Tang An came late. The banquet had almost started when he arrived.
"Old Xu, you have made a film with a box office of over 100 million yuan without any fanfare. This is the first female director in China to have a box office of over 100 million yuan."
"Stop laughing at me, 100 million box office means nothing to you." Xu Jinglei said angrily.
"Today is your celebration banquet, why are you so modest? It's very rare for a workplace movie like this to break over 100 million yuan." Tang An clinked a drink with Xu Jinglei and said with a smile.
Tang An has really not had many friends since his rebirth. Xu Jinglei and Jiang Wen, who gave him the greatest support when he first started, are definitely one of the most important people in his directorial career.
Jiang Wenhao was generous, and so was Xu Jinglei, otherwise he wouldn't have lent the equipment to someone he had known for less than half a year for free.
In the past few years, everyone has their own things to do, and it is rare to see each other twice a year. However, the three of them are still good friends and have not been diluted by time.
It is normal in the entertainment industry not to see each other once a year, and even good friends from childhood have not seen each other for five or six years.
Jiang Wen has made two movies in the past few years, and Xu Jinglei has also made a movie and launched three electronic magazines. They are all not idlers.
"How's it going? Is your company going well? I lent you Poly Huayi's equipment. I didn't expect you to buy half of Poly Huayi directly now. Do you think this didn't happen when I didn't recruit you?
Already?" Xu Jinglei took a sip of the wine in her glass and said with a hint of curiosity.
"Haha, maybe."
Tang An thought about it. It was a coincidence. If he could find a good author to write his autobiography in the future, it would be very inspiring.
If it were written that Tang An came to the door with the script and was humiliated by Poly Huayi, looked down upon it, and then five years later bought half of the group in one fell swoop.
Isn't this a typical thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty, Internet standards!
"The company is going pretty well. At least it has set up a business and has its own channels in various aspects. It will develop slowly from then on."
"It would be great if you started from scratch and developed into the same scale as Huayi, but you must be careful that someone will take action against you at any time." Xu Jinglei warned.
Tang An smiled and said, "I don't expect it to be smooth sailing either."
After chatting for a while, Xu Jinglei went to greet others, and Tang An approached Yu Dong and Wang Changtian.
The three of them had a drink, and Tang An asked, "What are the two bosses talking about?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "The time for Wang Dong's listing has been set, and it will be on the GEM of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on December 13th."
"Oh, then I would like to congratulate Mr. Wang in advance on his successful listing. There is still half a year to go. It's so fast."
Tang An congratulated Wang Changtian, and then looked at Yu Dong, "What about Yu Dong? This is the first U.S. stock in the domestic film and television industry. It's amazing."
These days, listing on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq is much more powerful than the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Once successful, it will be recognized by Wall Street investors, and both the economic benefits and reputation will be huge.
Different from the domestic stock market, most U.S. stocks are participated by various institutions, investment banks, and funds, while in China, retail investors are the main theme.
Those Wall Street institutions are the world's top investment companies, and being recognized by them shows that the company's potential is huge.
Originally, Bernard's listing could be described as a failure. It fell below the issue price at the opening and was eventually delisted. I don't know what will happen this time.
"Bernard will be later, probably at the end of December."
The smile in Yu Dong's eyes was obvious. As long as he established a foothold on Nasdaq, Bernard could regain his position as the boss of a private film and television company in a matter of minutes.
After casually chatting about the listing, Wang Changtian talked about a movie that was released a few days ago.
"Dr. Tang, have you seen the 3D movie "How to Train Your Dragon" that was released three days ago?"
Tang An shook his head, "How to Train Your Dragon? I haven't watched it yet. As you know, I just came back from the set and there are still a lot of things waiting for me in the company."
On the side, Yu Dong said seriously, "'How to Train Your Dragon' only earned 22 million at the box office in three days of release. Moreover, the quality of this movie is very good, and the 3D effect is much better than those of this year's movies."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Changtian couldn't help but interject, "The previous pseudo-3D movies had a huge impact on this movie. After a little publicity that it was converted to 3D, most people's first impression was not good.
"
After hearing what they said, Tang An knew what he was worried about. A movie with very good quality and excellent 3D effects had such a big impact just because it was converted to 3D. It seemed that the concept of pseudo-3D had been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
And "Edge of Tomorrow" was converted to 3D. Although they themselves were confident in the quality of the movie, the audience didn't know it.
I'm afraid that many people who are planning to go to the cinema will be discouraged when they hear that it will be converted to 3D.
This is what the two of them are worried about. After all, if "Edge of Tomorrow" fails to win the Lunar New Year championship, their launch is likely to be affected to a certain extent and become less perfect.
I don’t know how many people have raised this issue with Tang An, but Tang An still said the same thing.
"Don't worry, everyone. I already have a way to deal with this matter. Isn't it possible that the three of us can't handle this even with our public relations capabilities?"
Seeing Tang An's confident look, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian also breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were an ordinary first-line director, they would probably be as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
But there is no need to worry about the quality of Tang An's film. The two of them just want to hear Tang An's guarantee.
After eliminating the last trace of worry, we started chatting and laughing again about the promotion of "Painted Skin".
"Yu Dong, Wang Dong."
At this time, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind, and Tang An turned around to look.
It was Teng Huatao, Huayi's contracted director, who happened to be looking at Tang An. He looked at Tang An awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and then said hello to him.
"Tang Dong."
Tang An nodded slightly, "It's Director Teng, hello."
Teng Huatao was even encouraged by Lu Chuan to spray him in 2004, but that's all in the past. He even helped in the previous scene of "Now You See Me" with a crowd of ten thousand people.
Yu Dong asked, "Is there anything wrong with Director Teng?"
Teng Huatao glanced at Tang An and saw that he had no intention of avoiding it, so he explained his intention.
"Dong Yu, Dong Wang, Dong Dong, I have a famous adapted movie script in my hands"
Before Teng Huatao finished speaking, Tang An knew what he was here for.
This should be the super dark horse movie "Love Is Not Blind", which cost less than 10 million to produce and earned 350 million in box office.
Huayi was still unwilling to invest in this movie because it looked down upon Teng Huatao, a TV series director, and ended up taking advantage of Perfect World and Xinli Media.
Xinli Media is the film and television company that was later acquired by Qidian. It has participated in the investment of "101 Proposals", "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", "Pancake Man", "Charlotte", "Love Saint", and "The Legend of Wukong"
[, "The Shameful Iron Fist", "The Legend of the Demon Cat" and many other movies.
This company was later acquired by Qidian for more than 15 billion, and Qidian is also awesome!
