On November 1st, in order to celebrate the box office of "Shark Beach" exceeding 30 million, China Film Group held a celebration banquet at the Leshe Shichahai Hotel near the Desheng Bridge near China Film Group.
This time, China Film Group Vice Chairman Han Sanping and Distribution Department Director Wang Jianyuan were present in person, as were Columbia Asia Production Director Chen Guofu.
Tang An walked into the five-star hotel wearing a handmade suit, followed by Yang Mi and Xu Ruoyun.
Lin Sheng greeted him as soon as he entered the door, "Director Tang is here, follow me in quickly, Director Han is waiting for you!"
"Director Han?"
"Han..." Tang An almost called Han Sanping by his name.
"Yes, come in quickly, the director and Mr. Chen from Columbia are here too!" After Lin Sheng said that, he led them in.
"Director Han, Director, Mr. Chen, this is Director Tang Antang!" Lin Sheng introduced them.
"Hello, Director Han, hello, Mr. Wang, and hello, Mr. Chen!" Tang An said with a slight smile and said hello to them.
These are the top people in the entertainment industry. In his previous life, it was not easy for him to even meet them, let alone be able to talk to them.
Needless to say, Han Sanping is the leader in the entertainment industry and is nicknamed the Mountain Eagle!
As the director of the distribution department of China Film Group, Wang Jianyuan is one of the top five most powerful figures in the entire group. The power of life and death for hundreds of films at home and abroad rests in his hands.
Even Han Sanping, who is now in charge of distribution and production, cannot fully control the distribution department now.
Chen Guofu is also a big shot, but his main connections are in Baodao and overseas. At that time, he co-founded a film company with Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Decang, two big guys in the Baodao film and television industry, and his relationship with Milk Tea Sister is unclear.
The New Year blockbuster "A World Without Thieves" currently being filmed by Huayi was produced by Chen Guofu. Only then did Milk Tea get the lead female role, pushing Huayi's Li Binbin to the second female lead.
Of course, the main reason is that Huayi takes a fancy to the power of the Milk Tea family in Baodao and wants to open the Baodao film market.
After all, her grandfather was a KMD lieutenant general. When she was studying at the Central University in Moscow, she was in the same class as Grandpa Deng, who was the class monitor at the time.
The result undoubtedly disappointed Huayi. In the end, he only received 24,000 yuan from Baodao, which was not enough money to make copies.
There have always been only two types of movies that can sell well in Baodao, either Hollywood special effects blockbusters or fresh movies. Even worse, the films of Zhou Xingchi and Cheng Long have been selling well in Baodao since the 1980s and 1990s.
Beings that were unattainable before, now I can talk to them calmly.
Although it is still far from the same level, it is still a huge improvement.
For a director, box office is the most effective thing. A high box office means everything.
"Director Tang is young and promising. You can make such an excellent film at such a young age. You will have a place among the top domestic directors in the future!" Han Sanping did not hesitate to praise him.
"Dr. Han, you have given me too much praise. I still need to improve!" Tang An said modestly.
"Haha, Director Xiao Tang, you have brought a surprise to our distribution department this time. The mainland box office is 30 million, but there are not a few films released throughout the year. Lin Sheng's team has achieved success this year!" Wang Jianyuan laughed. smiled.
"Thanks to the good leadership of Director Han and Director, I was able to discover this great film directed by Tang!" Lin Sheng said quickly.
"It's Brother Lin who has a sharp eye for pearls!" Tang An said with a smile.
They are also half-constituted people, and they have to praise others first before speaking!
Wang Jianyuan said to Chen Guofu again, "By the way, Director Chen, have you sold the overseas copyright?"
"Haha, if it doesn't sell, David will be anxious. The full European rights were packaged and sold to Europa Company for 1.8 million yuan. The full Asian rights were sold to Japan's Toei Company for 600,000 yuan!
"Chen Guofu said with a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.
It was bought for 1.4 million and sold for 2.4 million, and the North American copyright is still in hand. As long as this kind of thriller and suspense film is of high quality, it can recover a lot of the cost through long-term screening and video tape sales.
This is at least twice the investment ratio!
"Mr. Chen made a good deal this time!" Wang Jianyuan sighed.
While talking, several people secretly looked at Tang An's expression. Seeing that his expression remained unchanged and did not show any strange emotions, they couldn't help but nodded secretly in their hearts.
"By the way, Director Tang, do you have any plans for your next film?" Wang Jianyuan asked again.
"I probably have an idea in my mind, but the script hasn't been written yet!" Tang An said with a smile. He was not jealous of how much money others made. This time he was able to get tens of millions of shares thanks to the help of China Film.
Once your fame spreads, your money will no longer be a matter of just one or two hundred meters.
"Then don't shoot a movie alone this time. This "Shark Beach" actually has flaws in many details. After all, human energy is limited. There must be a complete team to help. We can help you when the time comes.
Form a professional team, the technology is absolutely excellent!”
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I will definitely trouble you when the script is finalized!" Tang An said quickly.
An excellent production team will definitely add a lot to the director. You can ask Zhang Yimou to go to Hengdian and recruit a group of temporary workers to see what he can do.
The celebration party started soon, but Tang An didn't have any acquaintances in the capital. Xu Jinglei and Jiang Wen were both out of town. In addition to them and Han Sanping, there was also a strange-looking man who came uninvited.
Tang An took Yang Mi on stage with a microphone.
Facing the reporters in the audience, Tang An felt relieved. This time he was finally not doing propaganda.
"Thank you all very much for coming to celebrate the screening of "Shark Tank" with a box office of over 30 million. The movie has been released for a month. It is not easy to achieve this result. I have gone through a lot in the process. On behalf of the crew, I would like to thank everyone for your support!"
As soon as Tang An finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter. He was the only one in the entire crew, so what kind of crew could he represent? A reporter immediately said this.
"Actually, the entire crew did not work on my own. I got help from local villagers at the shooting location, who provided us with space, food and accommodation. Most of the scenes in the movie were shot in a pool, that is
The local villagers helped dig it, and I am very grateful to them. Without their help, I would not have been able to complete this movie!" Tang An said sincerely.
"Director Tang, when you chose to make this movie, did you ever think that you would get a box office of 30 million in the end?" a reporter continued to ask.
"Actually, my goal at that time was 10 million, but I didn't expect that it gave me a big surprise in the end!"
"There is only one actor in the whole movie, Yang Mi. Director Tang, how did you discover her?"
"At that time, I was working as an assistant director in Hengdian. I happened to pass by the crew of "Pink Family" and saw Yang Mi filming. At that time, I felt that he was the heroine in my heart!"
"Well, Yang Mi, did you know from the beginning that he was the only one in Director Tang's crew?"
"You'll know after you join the crew!" Yang Mi replied obediently.
"Didn't you have any doubts in your mind at that time?" the reporter asked.
Yang Mi turned to look at Tang An sheepishly and said truthfully, "Actually, I was a little worried at first, but then the director also adjusted the lighting and acted as a photographer. He even drew beautiful pictures. He would guide me every time I filmed. He also taught the teacher training over and over again, he is a great director!"
