Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapters oil and salt do not enter
"I set a small goal for myself, a box office of 3 billion."
Tang An said these words with a smile, his tone was not too impassioned, he was just like he spoke before, unhurriedly, as if this was not three billion, but only two or three billion.
But the reporters at the scene were not so calm. As soon as Tang An said "three billion", many reporters were still a little confused.
"Did I hear correctly? What Tang An just said was three billion?"
A reporter in the crowd turned to look at a colleague he knew next to him in disbelief.
"It seems so. I heard it clearly, it's three billion."
"I'll go, three billion, it's really easy to say!"
"It's a small goal, but the ultimate goal is four to five billion."
"That's awesome, Tang An dares to say this. Even if there are movies around the world that have a single box office of 3 billion yuan in a single region, there are currently only "Titanic", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "
"Avengers" and "Avatar", other superhero movies and the "Star Wars" series have grossed more than 400 million US dollars at the most in North America.
"Avengers 2" will definitely not be released next year, Cameron's new film has not been released yet, and the "Batman" trilogy has been filmed. If "Operation Red Sea" can really get 3 billion in box office, wouldn't it mean that every region of the world will have a box office next year?
Is it likely that the highest-grossing movie will be a Chinese-language movie?"
When they thought of this, the reporters became even more excited.
They work as entertainment reporters, although the film and television industry has no direct relationship with them.
But the more prosperous the film and television industry is, the better the future will be for entertainment reporters like them.
In the late 1990s, the entertainment industry was underdeveloped and could even be said to be very backward.
At that time, some major newspapers were all assigned. There were no dedicated entertainment newspapers or entertainment sections. Entertainment news was usually reported in literary supplements.
The page where the news is located determines the future of journalists responsible for this type of news. At that time, many graduates who had no connections and connections were assigned to the literary supplement.
Just like the difference between government departments such as the Finance Bureau and Organization Department and the Culture, Education and Health Department, they are much worse than other reporters in all aspects.
The 1998 Spring Festival Gala 16 years ago should be the most exciting one. He Jiong was the host that year, but he only appeared for more than 20 seconds, and the subtitles were "He Jiong". Developed by Hantang Media
The deputy general manager of the department, Ya Ning, is also one of the hosts.
That year, Na Young and Wang Fei sang "Meet in 1998", which became the most popular song of the year, and Andy Lau, Zhang Xinze and Mao Ning sang "Greater China".
There are also many celebrities from Baodao and Xiangjiang, and many media outlets sent reporters there during the rehearsal, so there should be plenty of news.
As a result, the major newspapers basically published a program schedule, adding at most one or two photos, and the rest was too entertaining.
Entertainment news cannot be published because it is too entertaining...
It was even worse in 1998. The country began to rejuvenate the country through science and education, vigorously abolished literary and artistic news, and reduced the publication of some literary and artistic sections to once a week.
At that time, what entertainment reporters did most was not to interview celebrities, but to participate in various literary and art seminars, drink tea and read newspapers, and became agency bosses.
Until "Return the Pearl" became a hit, there was a major change in the music scene from 1998 to 2011. Liu Ye and Qin Hairu both won the Golden Horse Best Actor and Best Actress, becoming famous overnight, and countless media followed them crazy.
There are also film and television dramas co-produced by the Mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan. Before that, Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas had rivals in the Mainland with Singaporean dramas, such as "On a Journey", "Birds of the End of the World", "Lotus Contest", "Journey to the East" and "Little Girl" These Singaporean TV dramas are extremely popular.
At the beginning of this century, a large number of film and television dramas co-produced by the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan appeared and became popular rapidly. A large number of scandals between mainland stars and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars often appeared in front of the public.
Speculating on CP is never out of date in any era. Celebrities such as Zhao Wei, Lu Yi, and Huang Lei were often criticized in the past. They were compared with the people of Tang Guoqiang, saying that they had no knowledge and did not read enough books.
It’s similar to how the media now compares these new generation stars with those from the Mesozoic generation. Maybe in more than ten years, these actors born in the 1980s will be role models for those born in the 1990s and 2000s...
Coupled with the physical reform, the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people, entertainment reporters slowly began to turn around.
It can be said that their future is tied to the development of the entertainment industry. Although "Operation Red Sea" exceeded 3 billion, and the mainland's single-film box office exceeded North America for the first time, it was just a record, and it was over after a few days of bragging.
But the meaning of this data is different. It affects all aspects and has many substantial benefits for the media.
However, these reporters who have studied Tang An for the past ten years are also a little confused. Although Tang An was not very humble in the past, it was rare for him to be as loud as he is today.
When "Edge of Tomorrow" exceeded one billion, Tang An's expectation for "The Martian" was one billion, while the target for "Interstellar" was still one billion.
After "Interstellar" broke 2 billion, he said in an interview that the goal of "Mysterious Superstar" was also 2 billion.
Two billion is already a huge number for the domestic market. If it were any other director, they would definitely think it was just a slogan for gimmicks and publicity.
But for Tang An, who has already won two billion at the box office and has never failed, taking another two billion is not bragging at all.
However, 3 billion is completely different. Currently, there are only two movies in China that have exceeded 2 billion, and even those that have exceeded 1 billion are very few. There are only two or three movies a year.
Three billion is unimaginable for film and television companies, directors, and media like them.
Reporters were really surprised that three billion was announced in such a high-profile manner, and it was still a small goal.
But strangely enough, they wanted Tang An to be more public. The more public he was, the more topical he would be.
"Hello, Director Tang, are you saying that "Operation Red Sea" will earn 3 billion at the box office next summer?" A reporter confirmed it.
Tang An smiled and nodded, "Yes, no matter what you do, if you don't advance, you will retreat. No progress is the biggest failure. My goal for "Operation Red Sea" is three billion!"
If you don't advance, you will retreat. This saying applies to Nokia, which was recently acquired by Microsoft's device and services division.
When Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila announced his agreement to acquire Microsoft at the press conference, he said the last thing: We didn’t do anything wrong, but for some reason, we lost. After saying that, dozens of people including him said A Nokia executive couldn't help crying.
This incident was widely circulated, and people couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness.
However, I don’t know who made this up. People will believe it the more they say it. When Nokia was acquired, the CEO had already resigned for almost two years.
Netizens are also talented, and the sentence they made up, combined with Nokia's situation, is quite sad.
That's how it is on the Internet, a lot of things you see are made up.
But this is true. In any industry, standing still means failure, because someone will step on you and move forward at any time, and it will be difficult for you to catch up.
The reporter asked again, "You just said this is a small goal, so what is the final goal?"
"How high the number can ultimately reach depends on the audience."
mmp, it’s this sentence again, the oil and salt are gone.
The reporter who asked the question cursed in his heart, Tang An would say this every time, leaving everything to the audience.
The reporter asked, "Can you give me a specific number?"
Tang An chuckled and said, "Of course I hope the higher the better, but this is not my final say. I just make the movie and leave the rest to the audience."
After repeating what he just said, the reporter didn't ask any more questions. He couldn't ask the question, so he might as well make it up.
"Director Tang, what is the specific story of "Operation Red Sea"? Is it about a war that took place in the Red Sea?"
"This will be kept secret for the time being. I will tell everyone when the movie officially starts filming."
