"By the way, I heard that Ning Hao is preparing for a new movie. Are you not planning to find Xiao Ma?" Tang An said something else.
Huang Bo was stunned, but he didn't hide it, "I have an idea for a new film. He also discussed some ideas with me and Xu Zheng. Xiaoma will not invest all the money, and he is still looking for financing for the rest."
Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang are all related to each other, but they are not all friends with each other.
Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are good friends.
Xu Zheng has a good relationship with Ning Hao, and is ordinary friends and collaborators with Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang.
Huang Bo has a good relationship with Wang Baoqiang and is a good friend with Ning Hao, but he and Xu Zheng are just ordinary friends and have a business cooperation relationship.
Wang Baoqiang is not familiar with Ning Hao, has a good relationship with Huang Bo, and is an ordinary friend with Xu Zheng.
It's not very complicated either.
No matter whether Ning Hao left Pony because of the blockbuster "Golden Robbery", Pony only got a small share of the subsequent "Heart Blossoms" and did not have any distribution.
However, there is definitely no shortage of investment in his project, and Tang An also wants to win it.
Originally, Jingcheng Culture took advantage of it, and just like Huayi's investment in "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons," it made a lot of money by guaranteeing the bottom line.
Song Ge is a guaranteed investment, not a guaranteed distribution. Jingcheng Culture does not have the ability to distribute blockbuster films at this time, and it has not participated in the distribution of "Heart Blossom Road"
If my memory is correct, the total investment for "Heart Blossom Road" was 50 million, and after excluding the 15 million sponsorship, it only cost 35 million.
Xu Zheng and Huang Bo participated in the investment, but I don’t know if they were paid to participate in the investment.
Jingcheng Culture paid a one-time payment of 125 million to the producer, and used the 125 million in exchange for 70% of the producer's share.
Tang An didn't take it seriously as a mere piece of Beijing culture, but its distribution was taken away by China Film Group Corporation. He had to think of how to seize it peacefully without antagonizing the other party.
Although "The Golden Heist" was not a success, it was still profitable, and the leading actor in that film was an unknown actor after all.
The combination of Ning Hao + Xu Zheng + Huang Bo is enough to make anyone look forward to this new film. It is almost 100% profitable.
Ning Hao was supported by Han Sanping, so he had to find a suitable excuse to steal China Film's business.
Ning Hao's film has not been prepared yet, and he doesn't even know if the script has been completed, so Tang An asked Huang Bo to give him a message, and we will sit down to discuss the details later.
Tang An shook his head. The competition is getting bigger and bigger. Production guarantees, distribution guarantees, and various means are emerging one after another.
Song Ge was the second one to eat steamed buns, and his mouth was full of oil.
The first one is Huayi, which released "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" with a guaranteed guarantee.
However, there are also different guaranteed distributions. Some are divided by box office, while Huayi is divided by the net income of the issuer.
There are also many ways to divide the box office. The subsequent ratio is based on the total box office, or the 43% divided by the producer and distributor minus the publicity fee.
Huayi and Zhou Xingchi have a second agreement: "If the box office revenue exceeds 500 million, Huayi will pay additional dividends to the film studio." This is an additional dividend, which is equivalent to a bonus with similar additional terms.
However, since this is not signed and sealed, it has no legal effect.
Even after signing, Huayi believes that this box office revenue refers to the box office settlement revenue Huayi received after deducting a series of divisions such as theater chains, cinemas, taxes, etc. from the total box office, which is less than 500 million.
Zhou Xingchi’s understanding is that the box office revenue is 1.246 billion.
There are no remarks from both parties, so even if they sign, it’s not certain who will win and who will lose.
Huayi made a fortune, and later some guaranteed issuances involving companies such as Berner and Guangxian also exceeded expectations.
But this is gambling, and most of them still lose.
For example, the 1 billion guarantee for "Tomb Raiders" just hit the line, the 1 billion guarantee for "Legend of the Gods", the 400 million guarantee for "To Youth, You Are Still Here", and the 1 billion guarantee for "Escape" all suffered losses to varying degrees.
Even some small and medium-sized distribution companies took a big gamble with all their wealth, but due to insufficient film quality and their own promotion and distribution capabilities, they went bankrupt.
In another corner of the banquet hall, Zheng Zhiwei and Cheng Jiashang found Liu Dehua.
They had asked Zhang Wanting and another Hong Kong judge before, and they all voted for Johnnie To.
The two people hurriedly asked, "Hua Zai, what's going on? Why did Tang An still win the best director?"
Maybe they were too impatient, and the tone of the questions was a bit harsh, and they didn't even notice it themselves.
Liu Dehua frowned slightly, "The original result was that he won, getting 9 out of 15 votes. There was no problem."
"How could this happen! #￥amp;amp;"
Zheng Zhiwei couldn't help but uttered a curse word!
"The three of you, Andy, only have three tickets, and the mainland judges only have two. I have searched for all the other treasure island judges one by one!"
Although they are all from the Hong Kong film industry and have had many cooperations in the past, in the past ten years, Zheng Zhiwei has opened a brokerage company to go public, is also the president of the Artists Association, received the Medal of Honor from the SAR government, and also opened a digital technology company and won a
Which university in the United States has an honorary doctorate?
With more titles, his people gradually became a bit swollen, and his treatment of others was not the same as before. Liu Dehua was actually slowly alienating them in his heart.
At the moment, I didn’t give any more advice and just dealt with it casually.
Tang An, who had never attended the Golden Horse Awards, went against the norm and came to attend, which was abnormal in itself. He understood it after the final voting ended.
He voted for Johnnie To. From the perspective of a Hong Kong filmmaker, "The King" was more suitable for his taste.
Although the number of votes was 9:6, the disparity was not too big, but he could also understand that if he really got more than 10 votes for Tang An, it would be a slap in Du Qifeng's face, and 9:6 was not too much to be safe.
What's more, "Breaking Money" also won the best actor award, so it's not a crime.
After dealing with the two of them, Liu Dehua took the initiative to find Tang An. At present, there are not many blockbusters in China that are capable of producing and distributing blockbusters. Hantang Media's qualifications are undoubtedly the best, and it would be great to have a good relationship.
After attending the banquet, Tang An took everyone back to the hotel.
In the business car, they were still talking about the award ceremony just now.
What I talked about the most were the jokes Huang Bo made and the teasing he made about the guests.
Many companies and directors have asked Yang Mi to make movies, and without exception they are basically comedies and romances.
"Don't accept films blindly. Nowadays, there are so many companies who want to make quick money. They will make whatever is popular. Once a star has a movie that becomes a hit, he will immediately get a lot of film contracts. These film companies don't care whether the movie is good or bad, they just want to make money.
To make a fortune based on your fame, when accepting a script, you must evaluate all aspects of the script, director, behind-the-scenes team, and company qualifications," Tang An warned.
"Well, I know, the company has dedicated people to review and conduct research." Yang Mi nodded.
She has already passed the time when she is short of film appointments. Not all films can be watched, there is no hot-selling potential, and capable directors generally will not accept them.
"By the way, Brother An, just now Brother Bo said he wanted to make a movie. Does he really have this plan?" Yang Mi asked again.
They were all present during the conversation just now, and they were not outsiders. There was nothing to avoid.
Wang Baoqiang, who was sitting in the back row and were returning to the hotel together, his eyes lit up and he braced himself to hear what Tang An had to say.
"Looking at him, he shouldn't be joking, but being a director is not that easy. You have to study systematically for at least two years, and then you have to go to the crew to practice. It is estimated that it will take at least three or four years before you can start." Tang An said.
Of course, there are geniuses in every industry, and some people may be able to make a good movie after just one year of learning.
However, most of them find a first-class producer to control the overall situation for them, and then find a capable director to act as an assistant director to protect them.
Wang Baoqiang thought for a while and then interjected, "Dr. Tang, do you think I can be a director?"
"Hahaha, Brother Baoqiang, you also want to film a movie?"
Yang Mi burst out laughing immediately and couldn't hold it in anymore.
They were all friends, and it was just a joke. Wang Baoqiang was not angry at all. He said sheepishly, "Actually, I have a lot of funny ideas that I can't realize, so I just thought about whether I could film them myself."
This year is really a strange year. Capital has entered the market, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters have begun to become directors.
Although Wang Baoqiang's later film "Havoc in Tianzhu" was hard to watch because it had quite a few flaws in plot, photography, art, performance, and special effects, Tang An did not criticize him.
Tang An smiled and said, "Okay, there's nothing wrong with it, as long as you do it with your heart."
"Brother An, can I be a director? Please teach me." Yang Mi interjected.
Tang An shook his head and said unceremoniously, "You should be a good actor first and then focus on your acting skills when you have time!"
Tang An did not stay in Treasure Island for too long, and returned to the capital the next day. Next, two billion-dollar blockbusters, "Longling Grottoes" and "囧囧" were released in succession, and there were still many projects that he needed to get. idea.
Last night’s Golden Horse Awards also became the focus of entertainment coverage, with almost all media reporting on it.
Tang An didn't let anyone hype up the fact that he won the Best Director trophy, and he didn't need this to increase his fame. There was no need for it at all.
Even so, Tang An is still very popular for winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Director. After all, he is the number one director in the country and it is his first time to win the Golden Horse Award.
Just one word to describe it, awesome, it’s not like this every year!
Several blockbusters are being released during the Lunar New Year holiday. "1942" is about to be released in two days, and the Golden Horse Awards have allocated some space.
"Intensify publicity efforts and suppress the Golden Horse Awards, "Pi", and "The Mystery of Longling"!"
At the group meeting, Wang Zhongjun gave orders to the heads of the publicity and public relations departments with a serious face.
Originally, the competition for the Lunar New Year slot between the three billion-dollar blockbusters "1942", "The Caves of Longling" and "Zodiac" was fierce enough. Before the movie was released, the two major companies had already started to promote it. A brutal fight.
Now there is another "Pi", news about the Golden Horse Awards has come again, and the publicity has become a mess.
Why is Tang An so non-stop? He wants to cause something to happen during the Lunar New Year holiday without him!
