Currently, Yang Mi has appeared in many popular film and television dramas. "The Heart of the Palace" won the Best Actress Award, and "The Lost Love" won the Best Actress Award at the College Student Film Festival and the Best Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
She is only 26 years old this year, and she has no shortage of box office, awards, and popularity. She is also one of the best achievements among actresses of the same age.
Today, there were many fans and reporters at the scene of "The Stolen Five Years" in which she starred, and they were basically all here for her.
The director Huang Zhen is not well-known, and the leading actor Zhang Xiaoquan has not made much achievements on the big screen. He has acted in many idol dramas in the past few years.
Although he is not well-known, he was recommended by another investor Jiao Xiongping.
These Taiwanese artists basically became popular through idol dramas, and most of them started their career in the entertainment industry through the music videos of well-known singers.
Zhang Xiaoquan debuted in her MV. Before that, he had a role, but Chen Bolin rejected it.
Li Guoyi also debuted in her MV, and the best actor Ruan Jingtian in "Heavenly Banquet" debuted in Dai Peini's MV.
There are not many actors in Baodao, but there are quite a few popular singers.
...
Leaving Yang Mi on the red carpet for a while to enjoy the screams of the fans, Tang An quickly walked past.
When I came to the interview area, I was also asked about the situation of "Interstellar" by reporters.
After dealing with it casually for a while, Tang An walked into the screening room.
Another investor in the film, Jiao Xiongping, arrived first. He is an old friend with Chen Guojia, and the two were reminiscing about old times.
"Hello, Director Jiao." Tang An walked over and said hello.
"Hello, Mr. Tang, thank you for your investment. I will trouble you with the subsequent publicity." Jiao Xiongping smiled and extended her hand.
"Director Jiao is very polite. It was also Mr. Chen who told me that I have a good project. I hope the box office this time will not disappoint you."
A top student at the University of Texas, he went to the same school as Matthew McConaughey, the original actor in "Interstellar."
Now he serves as the director of Baodao Film Center, which is equivalent to the head of a studio in a certain province in China.
For such a small-budget movie worth more than 10 million, not many people came, so Tang An chatted with them for a while.
Without saying a few words, Jiao Xiongping mentioned the Golden Horse Awards to be held at the end of the month.
"Dr. Tang, you haven't come to the Golden Horse Awards for a few years. You should take the time to celebrate this year."
The last time I went to the Golden Horse Awards was for "The Wind" a few years ago, and Li Binbin won the Golden Horse Best Actress.
In the past few years, Tang An has been nominated almost every year, but he didn't go for a year, so he asked the producer to take the crew there, and then came back empty-handed.
Basically, only "Edge of Tomorrow" won the best visual effects, and the other minor awards seemed to be gone.
As for the Golden Horse Awards, if nothing happens, Gong Li will be fooled again the next year.
Before the award ceremony, Gong Li was specially invited to attend, and she used Gong Li's name to promote it, making everyone think that the actress had definitely not left, and the sponsors had even arranged a celebration banquet.
The result was not good, all 9 Taiwanese judges voted for a little-known Taiwanese actor, while 8 mainland and Xiangjiang judges voted for Gong Li, losing by one vote.
A prize that is of little use may not be available yet, and Tang An is too lazy to make a trip to waste time.
If the domestic Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers show were not sponsored by the government and its actors would need to win awards in the future, he would not want to go.
There are a lot of things to do at the end of the year, as well as the later stages of "Interstellar", and Tang An doesn't want to waste a few days running back and forth.
"Director Jiao, you also know that I am still working on the post-production of "Interstellar" and the company has a lot of things to do. It will depend on the situation. I will see if I can find time to go there."
Tang An's polite refusal did not make Jiao Xiongping unhappy. She smiled and said, "Many filmmakers in Baodao highly praise Tang Dong's "The Martian". Our country's science fiction films have also reached Hollywood standards. I hope to be able to compete with Tang Dong's "The Martian"."
Communicate more.”
...
Jiao Xiongping left to chat with others. Tang An turned his head and looked at Chen Guobo, "Old Chen, is the Golden Horse Award going to give me an award?"
Chen Guofu nodded, "Now Baodao movies can't sell at the box office in the mainland. With Baodao's box office alone, even medium-invested movies can't recover their costs. We don't have the ability to open the domestic market, so I want to invite Director Tang
help."
Even Chen Guofu, who is from Baodao, has to admit that Baodao Film has completely collapsed, worse than Xiangjiang Film.
Looking through the entertainment media throughout the year, I can't find any page reporting on movies produced by Baodao.
Even in Baodao itself, the market share of Baodao movies is less than 20%, and it is completely occupied by Hollywood movies.
In 2007, Jiao Xiongping took the lead in raising 10 million US dollars to film "Silver Empire" in Baodao. Later, Bernard was involved, the cost was increased to 100 million, and Zhang Tielin and Aaron Kwok were invited to star.
The behind-the-scenes team includes Xi Zhongwen, who was nominated for the Oscar for Best Costume Director, as the artistic director.
Pan Yaoming, who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Cinematography, served as the photography director.
Dong Wei, who won the Academy Award for Best Action Designer, served as the action director.
Yishui's golden team shot at 22 locations, which took two years and strived to be authentic.
I originally wanted to rely on this movie to revive Baodao movies, but the investment of 100 million only brought in more than 20 million box office in China, and Baodao and Xiangjiang also ended in disastrous failures.
With a box office of more than 20 million yuan, not to mention the 100 million investment, Bernard didn't even make back the publicity expenses.
An investment of 100 million was made, but not even a dime of the cost was recovered. It was all wasted, and Bernard was cheated a lot. Even now, Bernard doesn't dare to take on Baodao's movies.
Not only that, more than 7 million U.S. dollars was invested in this film by Baodao's local tycoon, Futukang CEO Guo Taiming.
US$7 million was no small sum in 2007, and it didn't even make a splash when I dropped it.
At that time, Guo Taiming also made a bold wish to save the Baodao film industry, spending US$50 million to rescue the market, and making 100 film and television dramas after 2008.
As a result, Guo Taiming's ambitious ambitions were dampened by the disastrous failure of "Silver Empire", and the bailout failed.
Such a rich man is no longer involved in the film and television industry, and other Baodao businessmen have no interest in Baodao movies. At most, they invest in some idol dramas.
There is no external capital, and local capital does not dare to invest in movies.
There are no movies, and there are no stars. In the past, you could rely on idol military dramas, but now there is not even a big market for idol dramas. Baodao can't even produce a few decent stars.
Tang An thought for a while and asked, "What do they want?"
Seeing Tang An's interest, Chen Guofu was relieved.
Although he is from Baodao and was the founder of the "New Mainstream Film Movement" back then, if Tang An really didn't want to go, he wouldn't be able to say anything.
Chen Guofu said quickly, "They want to ask the group to be responsible for the domestic distribution of Baodao films in the next few years. They also hope that we can participate in investment when some projects lack funds, and give Baodao actors a chance."
There are really many requirements. Tang An thought for a while and said, "Distribution is okay, but it needs to be packaged and invested. As long as it passes the evaluation of the production department, it will be no problem. As for actors, if there are roles and the company's artists don't have suitable candidates, they can be given priority."
consider."
A Golden Horse Best Director doesn't carry much weight, so Tang An can't give up his interests to the other party.
Package distribution is Bernard's previous method for some medium-sized film and television companies in Hong Kong. No matter how many movies you make in a year, you can get them all in one package at one price.
As for the role, if our own actors don’t have the right person, it doesn’t matter if we use the other party’s artist.
Besides, there are fifty or sixty actors with professional backgrounds in several studios, and at most they can only leave some small roles for each other.
"Okay, I'll pass the message on to them later." Chen Guofu nodded.
Although the conditions are not very good, Tang An doesn't care about the Golden Horse Award at all. He is just rushing to ask for help.
The premiere was about to begin, and Tang An sat down in front, waiting for the premiere to begin.
Although exchanging three inconsequential conditions for a trophy is of no use, it still gives Chen Guofu face.
As for whether they can take it or not, don't worry at all.
This year there are 15 judges in the final selection, more than half of whom are from Baodao, and the number from Xiangjiang and the mainland is about the same.
Jiao Xiongping has served as the chairman of the jury for several terms. In addition to being the director of the Film Center and having a background in the local Baodao government, she also has a film company, so she is sure to come to her if she dares to come to her.
No award in the world is free from tricks, especially an award with more than a dozen judges. There is never any fairness.
If the other party fails to do it, that's another story...
No, it was an accident!
...
Not long after, celebrities came in one after another from outside, and all the artists from the company who had time came to support them.
There are quite a lot of people there, many young faces are new people signed this year.
People kept coming to say hello to Tang An, the big boss, and all the female artists were dressed up, even though it was already a bit chilly in November, with either their breasts or backs, legs, or everything exposed.
Even if there are female artists who take the innocent route, they don't dress very conservatively.
When people came to say hello, Tang An responded with a nod.
At this time, a young woman in her early thirties dressed in professional attire came over with a girl wearing a pink tube top dress. It was Jiang Xiaodi, whom Yang Mi had been favoring recently.
"Hello, Chairman."
Tang An smiled and said, "Hello."
The girl next to me seemed to have some stage fright. The manager next to me touched her arm before saying hello in a low voice.
"Chairman."
"Well, we're all here. Find a place to sit. The premiere is about to begin." Tang An nodded.
The manager pushed Jiang Xiaodi twice without any trace, and when he saw that she didn't respond, he couldn't help but become angry.
At this time, Yang Mi's manager, Zhao Luoyao, who was also the director of her company's artist management department, came over, glanced at Jiang Xiaodi's manager coldly, and smiled.
"Sister Li, how is Xiaodi preparing for the magazine cover in the next two days? You should take a good rest these two days and don't have dark circles under your eyes that will affect your photogenic appearance."
The agent known as Sister Li quickly responded, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will control Xiao Di's work and rest time every day and it will not affect my work."
...
Soon, the actresses who came to get close to Tang An all found their own places to sit down.
Tang An originally planned to chat with the little girls, but now it's better.
He smiled at Xu Zhao Luoyao and said, "Luoyao, you have driven all these people away, they are not allowed to scold you in private?"
Zhao Luoyao said innocently, "Director Tang, they are here to disturb you. Mi Mi and the main creators have all come in. The premiere is about to start."
Tang An glanced at the door. The film director and starring actors had already come in. They were blocked by someone just now and couldn't see them.
Yang Mi glanced back and forth at the several actresses in the company, looking rather unkind.
When Tang An looked over, he immediately put on a sweet smile again.
Drama queen!
Tang An shook his head secretly. It would be great if the filming could be so real and the various expressions can be changed freely.
