"The idea for the movie "The Martian" actually came from a novel serialized on the Internet by an American writer. I adapted it appropriately and moved the background to our country."
Tang An was introducing the movie, and a huge poster appeared on the LCD monitor behind him, showing a desolate Martian land. The upper part was a huge human head with firm eyes and a weather-beaten face.
Wearing a helmet on his head, his entire head occupies half of the poster.
In the movie, posters of several other astronauts appeared, forming a whole poster, neatly lined up.

The first poster of "The Martian" is also equivalent to the actors' final makeup photos. The audience suddenly heard bursts of shutter sounds, and the two times were filled with constant flashes.
At the same time, there was also a lot of discussion.
“The Martian is adapted from a novel? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
"It shouldn't be a best-seller, otherwise why would there be no movement at all."
"I have been in the United States for a year and I don't know about this book. I don't know where Tang An found this book."
"If this movie becomes popular in the United States, it will probably become a big hit along with the novel."
The book "The Martian" is far from a bestseller in the United States. It is only spread within a small area, let alone domestically.
It is foreseeable that after this news spreads, many people will be interested in this novel.
After introducing the movie, Liu Ye, Li Youbing, Li Binbin, Xu Jinglei and others were also interviewed.
Then the reporter asked Tang An about his goals for this movie.
Tang An said confidently.
"Now our domestic film industry is developing faster and faster, and records are set every year. I think I should also make some progress, and now our mainland box office record is occupied by a Hollywood movie, so I am very optimistic about "The Martian"
The expectation is 1.34 billion to regain our own record!"
That is to say, Tang An himself dared to call out this target. "Edge of Tomorrow" had more than 1.1 billion, and it is not surprising that the target for the next movie is set at 1.34 billion.
"Director Tang, do you think "The Martian" can still be a global hit?" the reporter then asked.
"Of course. 11 years ago, Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks starred in the classic movie "Cast Away." I think "The Martian" is a Martian version of "Cast Away." I believe foreign movie fans will also like it.
"." Tang An responded calmly.
The launch conference was successfully concluded and after sending away the reporters, Tang An entertained some friends in the banquet hall next door.
Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and others all came, and even Wang Zhongjun rarely showed up.
"Dong Yu, Dong Wang, it's rare for us to get together again." Tang An greeted with a smile.
Yu Dong laughed and said, "Tang Dong makes one movie a year, so he is really productive."
Wang Changtian responded, "It's not only high production, but also guaranteed quality. This is so rare."
Wang Zhongjun also squinted his eyes and smiled, "First of all, I wish Director Tang a smooth shooting and that the new film will be a big hit."
Qin Hong and Li Ming also raised their glasses to express their blessings.
"Haha, thank you for your support. I hope the celebration banquet can be held next year." Tang An smiled and raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Li Ming smiled and said, "That's for sure. Don't be stingy when the time comes, Mr. Tang."
"By borrowing Li Dong's words, I will reward you when the time comes."
Six people who are currently at the top of the domestic film industry chatted in a very harmonious and friendly manner.
However, only they know how much intrigue is hidden under this smiling face.
Huayi, Bernard, Guangxian, Xingmei, Xiaoma, and Hantang are the top six private film and television companies in China.
Before Wanda Startup and BAT's three fathers entered the scene, these six major companies represented the first echelon of the domestic film and television industry, and no other company could compete with them.
Originally, Hantang had deep cooperation with Bernard, Guangxian, and Xingmei last year, but starting from this year, the previously strong cooperative relationship will only slowly break down.
The shift from cooperation to competition is inevitable.
Hantang Media produces three blockbusters a year, all of which occupy the best time slots. It is undoubtedly a strong opponent for other companies.
Unless Tang An still accepts investment from Bernard, Guangxian, and Xingmei, and distributes his company's movies to them.
However, they didn't become enemies. When it was time to cooperate, we still had to cooperate. Tang An asked them how many small roles they wanted. If their artists were suitable, Tang An would not be stingy with some supporting roles.
The film schedules of both parties can be coordinated with each other. If they really collide, it will be a battle to win or lose. Sometimes there is even no bottom line.
Compared to Hua Yi and Bernard, who had a bad relationship with Tang An, Guang Xian was no less threatening, and Guang Xian was even more difficult to mess with than Hua Yi.
In terms of means, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei combined may not necessarily be Wang Changtian's opponent.
At that time, Zhang Zhao joined Guangxian Media and founded Guangxian Pictures, which developed from scratch into a large-scale film and television company and maintained a 100% growth rate every year.
As a result, after Guangxian was successfully listed at the beginning of this year, Wang Changtian kicked him out. Not to mention the shares, there was no benefit at all.
Zhang Zhao is not so easy to mess with. After leaving Guangxian, he founded LeTV Pictures. Within a year, its market share ranked among the top five private companies.
Later, Zhang Zhao also tricked Guangxian. Only three days after the release of "囧 in Hong Kong", an employee of LeTV was distributing high-definition Blu-ray videos and privately making fun of "囧 in Hong Kong". "囧 in Hong Kong" was originally expected to exceed 2 billion. "囧" ended up taking only 1.6 billion at the box office.
During the National Day holiday that year, not only "囧" was released, but also the bad movie "The Nine-Story Demon Tower" was released on October 1st. This film was invested and distributed by LeTV.
Who would believe that Zhang Zhao did not do it on purpose?
As expected, they are all from LeTV, they are almost the same as fake medicine.
One sent people to jail, and one had pirated copies of a movie within three days of its release.
What’s more, it’s Blu-ray, and it’s as big as 6g.
Such a ruthless character was easily kicked away by Wang Changtian. Naturally, Wang Changtian was not easy either.
As a result, Wang Changtian was furious, and Lu Chuan was naturally blackmailed into "Jiucheng Demon Tower".
Even though it was a bad movie
In terms of marketing methods, Wang Changtian, who was born as a journalist, couldn't be more good at it. Coupled with Guangxian's powerful channels, in the field of public relations, I don't know whether Bernard and Huayi can do it together.
The most classic one is the White Snake Wall Painting Battle that was originally held during the National Day this year. A mere Juli Media was hung up and beaten by Guang Xian in the publicity position, leaving no room for fighting back.
"Painting on the Wall", which is also a big bad movie with an investment of 30 million, relied on Guang Xian's strong publicity and public relations skills to get a box office of 178 million.
Even with Li Lianlian joining the cast of "The Legend of White Snake," the theme was based on the four major folk legends in ancient my country. The investment was as high as 180 million, and the final box office was only 211 million.
This may be regarded as the most successful and classic public relations battle in the past ten years, and Guangxian Media did everything possible.
Tang An looked at Wang Changtian's smiling little eyes behind his ordinary pair of glasses, and felt a little wary in his heart.
"The Secret of the Dragon" will also be released on National Day this year. I wonder if Wang Changtian will turn the gun against him.
Should we cooperate with him in advance and kill "The Legend of White Snake" together, and then divide up the National Day schedule?
Not only Wang Changtian, the Lunar New Year film "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will also compete with Bernard and China Film, and they will be rivals when the time comes.
