"Interview with Yang Lan" was broadcast in the next few days. Except for insiders, almost no one paid attention to Tang An's chat.
Even for ordinary viewers, it is not as good as the little filming behind-the-scenes interspersed in the middle, the grand scene of packed theaters at home and abroad, and the clip of Tang An standing on the stage to accept the award.
At the end, Tang An also answered the question of Guan Yu, the number one director in the country, head-on for the first time.
"If my fans think I'm the number one director, then I am."
Although it is not directly acknowledged, there is no difference.
"The Martian" sold 3 billion globally, basically cementing Tang An's position as the number one director in the country.
This Tang An's first public response made the sentence "Tang An: I am the number one director" appear on Baidu's hot search list.
On Weibo, this is still a hot topic.
There is no shortage of opponents, but some are a little more fierce in their words and almost curse, and some think that Tang An is too young and does not have enough background.
The filming of Feng Xiaogang's "1942" is coming to an end. When reporters visited the studio, he confidently announced a box office target of 1.5 billion.
Let’s blow the bullshit first and then talk about it. Even if there is not 1.5 billion, 1 billion is always a sure bet. After all, the “Tangshan Earthquake” the year before last took more than 600 million.
When asked whether he agreed that Tang An was already the number one director in the country, he responded with prevarication.
Anyway, it's either Zhang Yimou or Tang An now. No matter what, it has nothing to do with him, and it's useless to say anything.
However, Wang Zhongjun cheered for his own director and supported Feng Xiaogang in an interview.
"I don't know who is the number one director in China now, but I know that Director Feng is definitely qualified. "1942" released during the Lunar New Year this year will prove everything!"
Perhaps it was because movies from the Han and Tang dynasties were in the limelight last year. Wang Zhongjun has become more and more high-profile since the Spring Festival. He suddenly announced that Huayi will fully enter the real estate industry and develop 30 movie towns at once.
All of a sudden, it was said that Huayi would focus on the film and television industry this year and would invest in a theater chain. All of a sudden, it would target more than 20% of the domestic market share this year. All of a sudden, it would invest several billion in what big move it would make next year.
Wang Zhongjun frequently made big claims to make Huayi's presence known. It was just that the Huayi Movie Town in Suzhou was about to open during the summer vacation.
If the first one fails, Hengda may not be so active in the future.
Li Bian, who is busy filming "Life of Pi" in Indus, only now learned that "The Martian" has grossed US$420 million worldwide.
This number also overwhelmed the great director.
Even if he wins the Oscar for Best Director and beats "The Incredible Hulk", a major studio can invest US$120 million in this niche film, but his highest personal box office result is only "The Incredible Hulk" in 2003.
》250 million US dollars.
Excluding the inflation difference of nearly 10 years, this 250 million is not much different from 4.2.
But people only look at the numbers and don't care about anything else.
But thinking of the movie he had carefully prepared, Li Xian shook his head and casually put the A4 paper he had just printed out on the table.
After "Making Woodstock", he has been preparing for a new movie in the past three years, and all the conditions and technologies are in place.
He believes that this movie can definitely turn him around and even go further!
Another great director, Zhang Yimou, had no time to pay attention to this matter. He argued with Zhang Weiping for more than a month. After wavering between several companies, he was finally moved by the entertainment blueprint drawn by Jia Leting and the promised shares.
In a small hotel conference room, Zhang Yimou and Jia Leting held hands together.
Jia Leting smiled and said, "Director Zhang, happy cooperation. I believe you will not regret this decision. Please rest assured that we can give you the greatest support!"
Zhang Yimou nodded, "Mr. Jia, happy cooperation."
After an appointment was made for the formal signing of the contract, Jia Leting left with his people.
Zhang Yimou sat inside for a while and took out a newspaper from his bag. The headline on the front page was a report about Tang An.
The row of bold and enlarged characters in the title deeply irritated his eyes.
"The No. 1 Director in China: Tang An".
The disturbances from the outside world have not affected Tang An's work. The group, except for the finance and production departments, has entered a relatively peaceful period, and everything that should be busy has been completed.
At least I can have some free time this month, and I will officially start getting busy when the first movie released on May 1st, "The Wind Listener", is released.
Tang An continued to work on his script. After taking a break during the Spring Festival, he had enough rest. His brain was relaxed and he could devote himself wholeheartedly to creation.
It took half a month to complete the rough first draft. This is already his ninth movie. Not to mention nine movies in less than ten years, how many directors can make nine movies that have been released in theaters in their entire career.
From the new century to the present, there are only a few directors who have made 9 movies with all their plans.
Only those directors in Xiangjiang are so prolific. Ye Weixin has made 14 movies since 2000.
Liu Weiqiang 20 movies.
Wang Jing has 31 movies and 5 TV series.
Each one is more scary than the other, really two are scary, high-yielding racing sows.
For the ninth movie, Tang An thought about it for a long time.
If you want to enter the overseas film market, you need to consider the genre.
Ancient warfare, science fiction, and adventure should be very suitable.
The first two have already proven that "Searching for the Dragon" is an adventure game. With Colombia's full distribution overseas, it sold well.
After considering several movies, Tang An decided to make another science fiction film, which would also be his last.
"Interstellar", after filming this movie, I probably won't touch science fiction movies for a few years.
"Edge of Tomorrow", "The Martian", and "Interstellar" are three science fiction films in a row. If you add "Superbody", it will be four.
And coincidentally, those three science fiction films all have four-letter titles.
The four science fiction films all have the same feature, which is low cost.
"Edge of Tomorrow" mainly focuses on aliens, and the rest are all real shots.
The special effects scene of "The Martian" is on the ground of Mars. In the final scene of the rescue scene, outer space is completely dark.
"Interstellar" probably won't cost much more than "The Martian."
None of these science fiction films have particularly troublesome special effects.
"Interstellar" has also been criticized by many viewers as a fake science fiction film with few special effects and big scenes.
Today's technology is difficult to support higher special effects requirements, or it will take more time. Like Avatar, it takes seven or eight years from the beginning of preparation.
But it is almost impossible to make a movie in seven or eight years.
In 1978, housing prices have increased almost tenfold.
However, there is a more critical problem with this movie.
