"I think the editor-in-chief certainly didn't watch the movie carefully. Although there are many repeated shots in the film, if you look carefully, there are slight differences in the actors' performances in each repeated shot. I can guarantee that in the movie,
Every scene was shot real and not directly copied!"
In the cinema, facing reporters' questions, Tang An spoke righteously.
The scene also saves money, but it only saves money on transitions and setting up the scene. What should be shot still needs to be shot. It is impossible to directly use what was shot in the middle to use later.
Huayi sent out a navy to smear it, and reporters were happy to see it all. They were eager to get more news. At the moment, reporters kept asking some controversial questions.
"Director Tang, there is an obvious loophole in the movie. The male protagonist has tried countless methods before and fell to the helicopter. One of the two had to die. How come he managed to get through unscathed later?"
"This may be the power of love. For the person you love, you burst out with unimaginable energy." Tang An said with a smile.
"In the setting of the movie, the whole world has fallen, and only China is safe and sound. Isn't it too unrealistic? Is it deliberate?"
"China is not safe and sound, everything south of the Yangtze River has also fallen, and the situation is precarious."
...
No matter what tricky angle reporters asked, Tang An could handle it with a smile.
The two leading actors were inevitably faced with difficulties from reporters. Anyway, they answered carefully what they could answer, otherwise they would make irrelevant remarks and avoid the important ones.
Then the old talk came to the box office.
It is almost certain that the domestic box office will exceed one billion US dollars. Regarding his expectations for the global box office, Tang An gave an answer of US$300 million.
It doesn't make much difference whether it's 300 million or 400 million. It's a desperate number for today's Chinese-language movies. Neither the first nor the second "Red Cliff" can reach this number.
Then it was the audience's time. Tang An took the trouble to answer their questions one after another, and went through all the reset sequences of the male protagonist.
There are still many logical questions. If you want to delve deeper, I am afraid that everyone will have different answers.
After traveling to one theater after another, Tang An took the crew to a program on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. He was also interviewed by a local magazine and took several sets of photos.
Before rushing to the next city, Tang An also met with the deputy director of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV to learn about the broadcast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Then I traveled from city to city, and when I arrived in Yuzhang, I met Liu Ge who was preparing for a movie theater here in the evening.
I came here in a hurry, I have to go to the cinema later, and then I’m done with the next city.
Tang An didn't waste any time and asked directly, "Old Liu, are you going well recently? Are there any difficulties?"
"Director Tang, the progress is pretty good. Some third-tier cities and counties basically don't have much resistance. Second-tier cities and provincial capitals are a little more troublesome. Site selection, fire protection, industry and commerce are all problems. Only some large shopping mall stores have no problems." Liu Ge helped.
Eyeglasses report.
Tang An nodded. This is why we need to cooperate with large shopping malls. A large shopping and leisure center will definitely increase the flow of people. With hundreds of merchants stationed in the shopping mall, it may lead to a prosperous business circle.
, the local government will definitely welcome it.
"If it really can't be solved, let it go first. We don't ask for it to be done in one step, but in a step-by-step manner."
"There are already 16 cinemas under renovation, and 18 more will start construction in the next year. The Tianhong Plaza in Zhongling County, below Yuzhang, is progressing the fastest and is almost completed. Do you want to take a look, Mr. Tang?" Liu Ge asked.
.
"How long does it take to get back and forth?" Tang An looked at the time.
"It's a round trip of 140 kilometers, about two and a half hours."
Tang An shook his head, "Forget it, let's look around when I'm free. There's a movie theater to visit in an hour and a half."
He is too busy. He does not earn as much as the richest man, Wang, and is not as free as him.
I continued to invest in publicity, running two to three cities a day, and my legs were almost broken.
...
On the 23rd, as of now, "Edge of Tomorrow" has been released for 20 days, which is also its fourth week.
In the two days of its fourth week, "Edge of Tomorrow" grossed a total of 35 million at the box office, with a total box office of 795 million.
"Let the Bullets Fly" earned 47 million in two days, bringing the total box office to 237 million.
The trend remains stable, and negative public relations basically have no impact.
That night, Tang An also returned to the capital and went to the OCT Grand Theater in Happy Valley to attend the premiere ceremony of "If You Are the One 2".
Coincidentally, Jiang Wen also came, and they both arrived together.
"Brother Wen, you're here too." Tang An smiled narrowly.
"I just held a celebration press conference at noon. I will fly to other provinces tomorrow to promote, so I'll come and have a look." Jiang Wenye said with a smile.
After catching up on old times, the two of them walked inside side by side.
A reporter saw the two of them walking together and immediately came to interview them.
The two of them did not belittle Feng Xiaogang and "If You Are the One 2", and both had absolute confidence in themselves.
What's more, Feng Xiaogang had previously focused most of his energy on "Tangshan Earthquake". The quality of this money-making sequel is definitely not as good as the first one.
After dealing with the reporters, he entered the venue and went directly to say hello to Wang Zhongjun.
When Wang Zhongjun saw them walking together, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Director Tang and Director Jiang, you two are here together."
"First of all, I wish Mr. Wang a big hit at the box office. My movie is almost 800 million. I'm going to have a celebration party. Of course I have to come and see it when I return to the capital." Tang An said with a smile.
We won’t do it when it exceeds 700 million, but we will do it now!
Wang Zhongjun could only say without a smile, "Congratulations to Director Tang, the first domestic movie to break 800 million yuan will be born tomorrow."
"You're welcome, Mr. Wang. I have a good chance of watching "If You Are the One 2"."
"There is also Brother Wen's film, which has such a good reputation now, and 800 million is very possible." Tang An added.
"I really hope to get 800 million, but in the past two days, many viewers have suddenly appeared and seemed to have opinions about the film, which may have a big impact." Jiang Wen looked at Wang Zhongjun and said calmly.
The relationship between Huayi and Jiang Wen was okay before, but now for the sake of profit...
Wang Zhongjun was not annoyed, as if nothing happened.
The premiere starts at 7 p.m. and the movie is officially screened at 8:15 p.m.
The movie opens with a divorce farce. Sun Honglei and Yao Chen hold a divorce wedding, with Ge You acting as the master of ceremonies.
"Today we are together witnessing our mutual good friends, Mango and Xiangshan, ending their five-year marriage and turning from husband and wife back into acquaintances. Please swear on your money that the following promises you make are honest, trustworthy, thoughtful and without hesitation.
....."
A funny line instantly aroused the audience's interest.
He held a farewell party for a living person, and his lines seriously satirized the TV dating show "If You Are the One".
Feng Xiaogang's skills are still there, and some plots can still make the audience laugh.
However, for such a comedy film, it was released during the Lunar New Year period. The film does make a fuss about death and has long conversations about life insights, which is a bit inappropriate.
The second half almost became Sun Honglei's personal performance, with too many narrations, just like "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" which relied on subtitles, but the excessive narrations were not handled well.
But even if the movie has many shortcomings, relying on Feng Xiaogang's reputation and the reputation of the previous movie, it will definitely do well at the box office.
On Friday, Wang Zhongjun was very satisfied when he reached the first-day box office.
34 million on the first day, a figure obtained under the attack of two blockbusters, which is very good.
But at night, he couldn't be happy anymore.
ps; I'm tired of eating. I couldn't keep up with the 5th update. I think I'm too proud of myself. I went to a relative's house and insisted on introducing a girl to me. I was lectured for two hours.
I start work tomorrow, and a fucking National Day has passed just like that.
