The matter of more than a dozen nominees withdrawing from the Golden Horse Awards is still ongoing, and there has been no major change in online opinions.
Nowadays, Weibo, a community media, has completely surpassed several major portal websites in terms of attention and traffic. Even though there are some negative news on other websites, it is of no importance.
Not long after, Zhang Aijia, who is famous as the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards Executive Committee, posted a very official Weibo post, which was filled with words such as expressing regret.
The official Weibo of the Golden Horse Awards was not posted at all, but he just refused to bow his head.
The Internet still maintains the same tone as before, and netizens cannot be deterred by snake-oil statements.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, the National Day passed quickly. Tang An ignored the situation online and rested for more than a week. He was about to go to Africa to continue filming.
Prior to this, the production department and Huang Bo signed a contract for the investment and guaranteed distribution of "A Good Show".
The production cost was 40 million, with Hantang Media investing 15 million and Huang Bo investing 12 million. Their share increased from 20% to 30%.
The remaining seven or eight companies including Wuzhou Distribution, Tudou Pictures, and Jingcheng Culture were divided.
The guaranteed amount is 800 million box office. After the box office exceeds 800 million, the publisher will get 60% of the share, and it is stipulated that the investment should not be less than 50 million in publicity expenses, and the investor will be paid a guaranteed fee of 200 million in advance.
The guarantee of 800 million is not a small number. The investors have recovered several times the cost in advance, and the majority of the excess share will definitely go to the issuer.
60% is not too much. Li Baodi Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" will get 70% of the share after it exceeds one billion.
A minimum of 800 million is guaranteed, and a promotion of 50 million is required, which means that the box office needs to be 600 million, and ignoring inflation, the minimum guarantee can not make a loss.
With 800 million, you can make a fortune and bear all the risks.
The risk is very high, but the investor is Hantang Media, and the guarantee is Hantang Pictures, which owns Nuomi Films. The 15 million investment can still be exchanged for 75 million in income, which means a profit of 60 million.
In addition to 15 million in salary, Huang Bo could also earn 50 million from the 10 million investment, which means that the film earned 55 million before it was even made.
Sure enough, only big directors and management can make big money!
It was the first time that he had earned such a large sum of money at once. Huang Bo was also filled with emotion. He toasted Tang An several times at the celebration banquet of "Heart Blossoms".
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will never let you down with this film!"
Tang An smiled and said, "If you have any questions during the filming process, you can communicate with Mr. Zhao and we will try our best to support you."
Preparations for his friend's debut novel have officially begun, and Ning Hao and Xu Zheng are also happy for him.
Although Ning Hao was surprised by the guaranteed price of 800 million, it was still 100 million higher than his own film.
But when I think about it, the time period is also different. When I was able to get a guarantee of 700 million for this project, I was laughing in my heart. Now after a year of explosion in the film market, the situation is different.
But Ning Hao is confident that after the success of "The Flowers of the Heart", the next movie will be guaranteed to earn at least one billion.
Maybe then it will be the same as now, with several companies rushing to get it and raising the price even higher.
However, Ning Hao never imagined that his next movie would actually sell for a guaranteed 2.8 billion, and it was Wang Baoqiang who took over it.
...
A lot of people came to the celebration party this time. "Heart Blossom Road" seems to be close to one billion. As a new member of the billion club, Ning Hao is very popular.
Even if he is now bound to the Han and Tang Dynasties, who can say for sure about this kind of thing, there is nothing to lose by wooing him.
Moreover, Fan Luyuan from Li Pictures also came here this time. Looking at the smile on his face, it was clear that he was here for Tang An.
"Haha, congratulations to Director Tang. The box office of "Beautiful Heart" will exceed one billion in a few days. Director Tang has really good vision."
"Thank you very much, Director Fan, for the honor. Li Pictures has had many projects in the past two years. I also wish Director Fan a big hit at the box office in advance." Tang An said with a slight smile.
"Then let me borrow Jiyan from Tang Dong. I don't know how much box office Tang Dong thinks Wang Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu" can sell. They all say that Tang Dong has a good vision, which also gives me a clue. After all, it took a lot of effort to get it from you, Tang Dong.
I grabbed a project here." Fan Luyuan said with a smile, and when he said the word "rob", he deliberately emphasized his tone.
Tang An suddenly discovered that anyone who wears glasses has that smiling look in his eyes that deserves a beating.
Wang Changtian and Ye Xuan are like this, they wear glasses, and the glasses are too small.
Fan Luyuan had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but this proud expression made people even more uncomfortable.
However, Tang An still gave a number with a smile.
"There should be 300 to 400 million, Baoqiang has a good audience,"
Three to four billion?
You think I'm stupid!
Fan Luyuan sneered in his heart, if the box office was only 300-400 million, then how could Tang An get the guaranteed amount of more than 600 million.
Fan Luyuan just thought that Tang An was choking him. After all, he was the one who snatched a promising project from Tang An, along with a director with great potential.
"Don't you think Director Tang is very optimistic about this movie? Do you think it only has a potential of 300 to 400 million?" Fan Luyuan asked without a smile.
"No one can say for sure about the box office. How much it will be depends on how well the movie is shot. It's useless for Director Fan to ask me."
Although he was a little impatient, Tang An still dealt with it one after another.
"So what do you think of "A Good Show", Mr. Tang, and what are your expectations?" Fan Luyuan asked again, and then took a sip of the wine in his glass.
"Since the guaranteed price is 800 million, of course I hope it can reach at least 800 million, but the higher, the better. It would be better if it can exceed 1 billion, that would be the best." Tang An casually replied with a number.
cough...
Fan Luyuan almost choked. Obviously both movies had a guarantee of 800 million, and Tang An was also very optimistic about "Havoc in Tianzhu" before. As a result, one was 300 to 400 million, and the other was directly over 1 billion.
If it can reach a billion, it won’t reach heaven!
The box office of his debut film exceeded 1 billion, and thanks to Tang An, I dare say that if he could really do it, it would really be a sensation. He would be the first director of the new generation. After all, no director has ever done it before.
Fan Luyuan also knew that Tang An was making fun of him, but he didn't see a trace of dissatisfaction on Tang An's face about being robbed of the project, and he was also very bored.
"Director Tang's goal is really extraordinary. It can easily reach a box office of one billion, so I wish you, Director Tang, that your dream will come true."
After insinuating that Tang An was dreaming, Fan Luyuan said nothing more.
He finally understood that no matter what the situation, when chatting with Tang An, he would choke you at every turn.
"Haha, borrow Fan Dong Jiyan."
Another "haha", Tang An couldn't remember how many times he said it.
The chat ended with hehe, and we suddenly felt peaceful.
Although he did not continue this topic, just now Tang An said that he hoped "A Good Show" could exceed one billion, but that scared the other people around him.
That's one billion, and only a few movies can be released in a year. In other words, Tang An would have to spend more than two billion to be able to talk about it.
But most of them thought Tang An was joking, just like others who would say one billion if their goal is 500 million, anyone can brag.
Although Huang Bo previously joked that he would follow in the footsteps of Ning Hao and Xu Zheng and make a movie with a box office of one billion, he didn't take it seriously when he heard Tang An say this.
However, thinking about Tang An's long-term vision and the "big words" he said before, it seems that they have all come true.
"Is it true that my movie can break one billion?"
Huang Bo's heart suddenly jumped, and he began to worry about gains and losses again.
