At noon on the 30th, in order to celebrate that the domestic box office of "30 Days of Love" exceeded 300 million, Tang An once again held a celebration banquet in the hotel.
The box office had previously exceeded 100 million, and when it exceeded 200 million, we had held two celebration banquets and held a press conference.
As a romance film, no one expected it to receive 300 million box office.
If it had been someone else, I would have celebrated once for 50 million, once for 80 million, and again for 100 million.
At the press conference, everything went according to procedure, but when it came time for reporters to interview, all questions returned to "Edge of Tomorrow."
Just like the launch conference, the scene once again turned into a personal interview with Tang An.
For reporters, "Love Is Not Blind" has become a thing of the past, and the most important news right now is "Edge of Tomorrow."
There is no way, reporters are such people who like the new and hate the old. Whatever news can bring them attention and clicks is what they need.
"Director Tang, the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" has now exceeded 70 million. It can be said to be a big success. This is also the first large-scale screening of a domestic film. Why do you want to conduct a large-scale nationwide screening more than ten days in advance?
Woolen cloth?"
Nonsense, of course it's just for publicity and spreading word of mouth.
Tang An smiled slightly on the surface and said, "The screening is equivalent to a food tasting event in a shopping mall. You decide whether to buy it or not after making sure it tastes good. We can return the clothes after we buy them and find they don't fit. The same goes for movies."
"The large-scale movies during this period officially let the audience know about the movie, allowing them to know from the mouths of those who have already seen the movie whether the movie is worth spending money to go to the cinema."
Nothing wrong, a good excuse.
But there’s no charge for a trial, and if you’re capable, there’s no charge for a screening.
The reporters were complaining in their hearts, but if they didn't say what they were thinking, it would be like deliberately looking for trouble.
"Hello Director Tang, there are still many viewers complaining that it is too difficult to get tickets for on-demand screenings. There is basically only one show per day in each city. Are you deliberately doing hunger marketing?"
"Of course not."
Tang An flatly rejected it, "Actually, it's mainly because I'm afraid that if there are too many scenes, most of the audience will have watched the movie in advance, which is unfair to other audiences."
"Moreover, if there are more screenings every day and everyone has watched it, if no one watches it when it is officially released and the box office is too low, then I will be very embarrassed." Tang An laughed to himself.
There are opinions when the movie is big, and there are opinions when the movie is small. It’s really hard to take care of.
Besides, what kind of hunger marketing is this!
Real hunger marketing should be about screening two or three days more than a month in advance, showing just a few shows for two or three days, and then asking you to wait a month for the movie to be released, which is more or less the same.
Later, Rebus became so good at this trick that he couldn't even grab a mobile phone, causing several mobile phone manufacturers to scramble to learn from it.
...
There are no sharp issues, and no negative news can cause any trouble under the joint public relations efforts of the four major groups.
In fact, reporters couldn't find any black spots in "Edge of Tomorrow". According to the Chinese people's point of view, domestic movies only have 50-cent special effects, and basically all blockbusters are criticized as garbage.
But that doesn't exist at all in "Edge of Tomorrow". The big war scenes in the film were all shot in real life. If you want something more realistic, you can shoot it on the battlefield or during actual combat exercises.
But even then, if you don’t do the post-processing well, it’s still not as good as the movie.
The aliens were simulated hundreds of times and each action was demonstrated countless times before they were finally finalized.
The journalists had no choice but to look for it slowly, or make up their own stories after the movie was released.
Next, Tang An gave up his time to Teng Huatao and the leading actors. After all, it was a celebration party for the crew.
"Love Is Not Blind" is the November box office champion in film history and the record holder for romance films. It was a movie with a box office of 300 million with a production cost of 16 million. The reporters didn't ask any harsh words.
In other words, Teng Huatao's transformation makes a mockery of Yibo Huayi's blindness.
When a reporter asked Teng Huatao whether he would resent Huayi because of Huayi's refusal to invest and join Hantang Media, Teng Huatao was obviously hesitant, but in the end he made some excuses.
...
After the press conference, everyone moved to the banquet hall next door to eat and drink.
"Director Teng, congratulations. Your first movie has a box office of 300 million, and you are still number one in the country."
Tang An first paid tribute to the hero. Regardless of whether he was willing to come over or not, he made hundreds of millions of yuan for himself with "Thirty-three Days of Love" alone, so he should be thanked.
What's more, Tang An took the film and television rights from the novel author before the filming started, and he didn't spend a lot of money.
Just for the 300 million box office, it can even reach 350 million, and it will have a huge impact. The adaptation into a TV series will bring in tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
Modern dramas are bound to become popular. Modern dramas that major TV stations are vying for will be treated with mercy just by placing advertisements.
"Dr. Tang, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Otherwise, I don't know when this movie would be able to start shooting." Teng Huatao also expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Dr. Tang, I would like to toast you too. Thank you for giving me this opportunity!" Deng Chao picked up the wine glass and said.
"To Mr. Tang." Yang Mi also raised his glass and said with a smile.
"I respect you all. This movie would not be possible without your joint efforts."
The banquet went to a suite with an appointment and handed him a check with a smile.
"Director Teng, this is the salary for the movie."
"Dr. Tang, you're welcome." Teng Huatao hesitated but still didn't answer.
The remuneration was given to him before filming started. If he accepts this huge amount of money now, it would not be difficult to handle if Tang An invites him to join the Han and Tang Dynasties again.
Tang An saw his concerns and said with a smile, "There are not many lines, so it can be regarded as a bonus. Of course I hope you can join our Hantang Group, but I won't force you. We can still cooperate in the future."
Having said this, Teng Huatao felt a little ignorant if he didn't accept the check. He took the check with both hands and glanced at it.
2 million seems to be a real bonus. It is impossible to poach a director whose single film has a box office of more than 300 million with this money.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
Frankly speaking, Teng Huatao must have resentment towards Huayi. If he could, he would not want to stay in Huayi anymore.
But Tang An already has three film directors on his side, and each of them has higher box office performance than Teng Huatao. If he goes to Han and Tang Dynasties, his status will definitely be the lowest.
There are only two or three popular schedules throughout the year, so I will definitely focus on these three first.
There are other resources, and Teng Huatao's access to them is probably the lowest.
Huayi currently only has Feng Xiaogang, a big director, and newcomer Gu Changwei has made little success at the box office.
As for Xu Ke, the new film "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" approached China Film, Bernard, and Oriental Media, but none of them were suitable for cooperation.
If personal feelings are not considered, Huayi is the most suitable, and other small companies will not consider it at all.
But there is another reason: his father Teng Wenji helped him make the decision.
He had asked his father for his opinion a few days ago. Teng Wenji analyzed it and talked about another matter.
"After Xu Zheng finished filming "Thailand", he not only did not continue filming this series, but also did not make other films in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Instead, he took over a comedy from Zhuying. His intention was obvious, but Tang An actually let it go.
No reaction at all.”
"Do you think he is really indifferent, or is he planning something to teach Xu Zheng a lesson?"
"With the ability to build an entire industry at this age, do you think Tang An will let it go? Wait until Xu Zheng gets bigger and negotiate terms with himself? Let's wait and see what Tang An does."
Teng Huatao had paid attention to this matter before, but after hearing what his father said, and thinking about it carefully, he felt that Tang An was really doing something behind his back.
Teng Huatao would never want to deal with such a boss. Such people are often much more ruthless than the Wang brothers.
If he has capital in the future and wants to negotiate a price or go it alone, he will not be tricked behind his back.
