For the past ten years, the Four Danshuangbing has represented the pinnacle of domestic actresses, second only to Gong Li.
Over the years, the six of them have crushed other actresses at the box office and awards.
It's just that there was a bit of silence in the first two years, and new people kept popping up.
Relying on Han and Tang Media, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Wan Qian each starred in more than one hit movie.
There is also Sun Li, who has appeared in phenomenal TV series, and even a newcomer under Yang Mi became popular last month due to a movie that became a hit in the ratings.
Hua Yi also favored Wang Xiaoming's girlfriend and starred in several movies.
Sidan Shuangbing seemed to be overtaken by the younger generation, and suddenly there was not much popularity for a long time.
Just when people thought they were going to be filmed dead on the beach by newcomers, Zhang Ziyi returned to the domestic film market with "The Grandmaster" at the beginning of the year and returned to the top.
Two months ago, the movie she directed sold more than 700 million in box office in the Mainland, entering the top ten Chinese box office, setting a new box office record for female directors!
My personal reputation has also reached a peak in the past two years, and it's not just that.
In the industry, her fame is higher than ever before. Even after the "Painted Skin" series became popular, she is not as famous as she is now.
Within two months, five companies came to ask if they had any ideas for the next project.
Every time he goes to a public place, countless actors come to curry favor with him, and he becomes the target of numerous capital pursuits.
Only then did she fully understand that actors are famous in front of others, but in the eyes of capital, they are nothing more than a commodity.
And a director with a box office of 700 million is enough for all capital to pay attention to.
In addition to inquiring about projects, several companies sent out invitations with scripts.
But she didn't accept any of them. Simply becoming a director was not her goal.
She looked at Tang An in the center of the crowd, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
Now she and Huang Long are the second largest shareholders of Ali Pictures. Their starting point is no worse than that of Tang An, who was just an art director at Huayi.
With the resources in Ahli, we can use Ahli as a springboard to build a large-scale film and television company.
A hit movie made Zhao Wei's ambition become infinite, and he set his target on Tang An.
If Tang An knew her thoughts, he would be really shocked.
It's a pity that Zhao Wei doesn't know. Even if he knows, he will only wait for success in the future to slap him in the face.
The premiere was about to begin, and Zhao Wei sat back in the front row.
Zhang Qiang next to her seemed to be thinking about something. She asked curiously, "Mr. Zhang, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm thinking about the company's development in the second half of the year." Zhang Qiang came back to his senses and said with a smile.
When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.
The six words Tang An said were still in his mind, even though he didn't believe them at all.
However, people’s hearts are unpredictable, and no one knows what Ali’s senior management envisions and thinks about the film and television industry.
Five years ago, Sun Tongyu, the No. 3 figure in Ah Li and the father of Taobao, was "resigned to pursue further education." It was hard to guarantee that Ma Yun had no intention of killing the donkey.
Zhang Qiang thought for a while, no matter what, he had to make achievements and prove that he could lead Ali Pictures to make a difference in the entertainment industry.
He turned around and asked with a smile, "Ms. Zhao, the share of "Youth" is expected to be paid within half a month. I wonder if you have any ideas for your next movie?"
"To Youth" is not only an investment by Ah Li, Zhang Qiang also attracted China Film. After all, he worked as the vice president of China Film for a period of time and is considered his mother's family. Maintaining a good relationship is good for Ah Li's development.
Of course Zhao Wei also invested, but in the name of her mother. Zhao Wei has more than a dozen companies like this, half of them are under his own name, and the other half are under the names of his mother and brother.
Tangde Film and Television was founded by her brother and two other investors, and now her brother is the second largest shareholder.
If Zhang Qiang wants to achieve success, if a film and television company wants to achieve success, film and television dramas are indispensable.
"To Youth" was a hit, and if Zhao Wei makes another movie, the box office will definitely be good.
However, Zhao Wei shook his head, "I don't have any good ideas yet, and director Chen Kexin invited me to participate in his new film."
Zhang Qiang was a little regretful, but he didn't force anything. After all, Zhao Wei is still a shareholder of Ahli Pictures.
"Tomb Raiders" will be released next month, and it will most likely lose to "Interstellar." Let's take this opportunity to take a look at the fact that the power of the film industry is the most important.
The low-budget movies he directed were hits, while the 200-million-dollar big-budget movies he directed failed at the box office. Comparisons are harmful.
As long as Ahli's senior executives are not confused, they will understand who is more suitable to be the helmsman of Ahli Pictures!
Zhang Qiang thought confidently, chatting with Zhao Wei while watching the premiere ceremony on the stage
Although "The Breakup Master" is not a blockbuster, the script has a certain title, and with two popular A-list stars starring in it, it is also substantial enough.
Movie Channel, Guangxian, and Tudou each sent a host, and the premiere will be broadcast live on multiple platforms.
The premiere ceremony lasted for an hour, and the movie officially started screening.
Although it is adapted from the play of the same name, it has obviously been significantly changed, and the character names and film titles are basically left behind.
I watched the movie again and found that it was basically the same as the original version. After all, it was still made by Yu Bai and Deng Chao, but it was just a year ahead of schedule.
Although the whole film is made up of countless jokes, looking at the reactions of the audience, at least they know the funny effect.
When the Uighur girls appeared on the stage, it was obvious that the atmosphere at the scene had changed somewhat.
It was a gaze full of desire and aggression from the male audience.
There were Uighur girls on stage at the premiere just now, but none of the male compatriots were so enthusiastic.
The red dress, just past the thigh heel, with a simple long hair parted in the middle, looks a bit beautiful under the effect of the lighting.
The subsequent bikini attire made the male audience in the venue unable to take their eyes away. Except for some male compatriots who were intimidated by the lustful power of the girlfriend next to them, their faces were unwavering, as if they had entered saint mode.
Tang An couldn't help but take a second look. His appearance and figure in this film were really good.
He turned his head and glanced at where the girl was sitting. The girl who noticed Tang An's gaze also turned her head slightly.
However, Deng Chao, who was next to her, also looked over from the corner of his eye.
Immediately afterwards, Deng looked at Sun Li on the other side.
The three of them all looked at Tang An, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Tang An didn't feel embarrassed at all, he smiled and nodded to them, and naturally started chatting quietly with Xie Tan next to him.
"How is the post-production process of "Wolf Warrior" going?"
Xie Tan was a little embarrassed, but still replied, "I have cut off part of it as required and sent it up. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Let Wu Jing have a good rest. He will be very busy at the end of this period. In half a month, he will start a large-scale publicity campaign. He must be energetic enough to run around the country." Tang An warned.
The filming of "Wolf Warrior" has been completed, and Tiangong Yicai was responsible for the post-production special effects. The war scenes were all shot in real life, so there was no trouble.
The most important thing was to submit it for review. Even though the Nanjing Military Region controlled the entire process, it was still changed again and again.
Wu Jing was also very busy and did not come to the premiere tonight.
It will be released on August 1st, so there should be no big problems.
After chatting for a few words about "Wolf Warrior", Tang An turned his attention back to the big screen.
Xie Chan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the big screen.
The movie was still going on, Tang An was watching the jokes, straight man Mei Yuangui dumping girls one after another.
As a breakup master, Mei Yuangui's methods are too single.
Just like the national football team basically relies on throwing for fouls, "Blind Detective" basically relies on guessing to solve crimes, and everyone basically relies on love to break up.
Mei Yuangui would not break up at all. He would just pat his butt and run away after being the taker of the entrusted client, leaving the woman immersed in the new relationship to experience the bolt from the blue on her own.
As for the emotional drama between Mei Yuangui and Ye Xiaochun, it is also a bit baffling, and the character of Yang Mi is also inconsistent.
This is the skill of a director. Being able to direct a play may not necessarily lead a movie. Just like no matter how good a play is, or a play actor is great at acting, they may not be able to act well in a movie. The two are not the same thing, not a kind of performance.
Way.
However, in general, there are merits, and at least some of the audience can laugh, even though they are all jokes.
Women dressed as men on stage to perform, sunflower bikinis, smoky makeup, stiletto heels, pole dancing... to be honest, it was really weird.
Another advantage is the dance and soundtrack. Deng Chao and Yu Bai hired top-notch lighting engineers, costume designers, photographers, art directors, and soundtrack teams in the industry.
It can be said that except for the director and screenwriter who are amateurs, everyone else is very professional.
Deng Chao is also self-aware and knows that he is not professional.
Although it was over after I laughed and nothing was left, I still laughed and was happy.
The audience's applause at the end of the screening showed that at least they paid for the movie ticket in vain.
Except for some friends who have relatively high laugh points but cannot get the laugh points, they will definitely criticize the movie as a bad movie.
After thanking the audience, a banquet was held as usual at a nearby hotel later.
"Director Yu, Deng Chao, congratulations on making a good movie, and I wish you a big box office hit." Tang An clinked a drink with them.
Although it can't be called a good movie, it still deserves some respect.
Media Yu Bai quickly toasted to Tang An and said repeatedly, "Thank you, Director Tang. If it weren't for your support, I don't know how this movie would have been filmed. I would have to ask Director Tang to worry about the subsequent promotions."
Deng Chao also said, "Without Director Tang's help, I wouldn't have had the chance to be a director. I'm afraid that Director Tang would lose if I didn't make the film this time."
Tang An smiled and said, "You two directors worked together this time and the film was pretty good. I didn't hear the audience's applause at the end of the movie. That's the best recognition. I see, this movie has a box office of at least 5
100 million."
Although both Yu Bai and Deng Chao knew that Tang An was being polite, the films made by such great directors as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Xu Ke only cost RMB 600 million at most.
But considering that a movie made by a dabbler like Zhao Wei can sell 700 million yuan, it is not impossible for these two dabblers. They both have investment.
