"This Tang An really thinks that he is so sharp-eyed that he can earn billions and billions at every turn. He really thinks that a billion box office is just cabbage!"
At Huayi Brothers Group, Wang Zhongjun scoffed when he learned that Tang An actually expected "A Good Show" to break one billion.
Wang Zhonglei smiled and said, "If it really breaks one billion, it will not only be a fiery eye, but also a Midas touch."
“Midas turned into gold?”
Hearing this word, Wang Zhonglei was slightly startled, and then he laughed and said, "Yes, if Tang An can make a billion at the box office just by watching a movie, it would really be the Midas touch."
In the past few years, all the movies that Tang An has watched have achieved very good results without exception.
But there has to be a limit. "囧 in Thailand" dominated the Spring Festival schedule, and the reputation of "囧囧", plus it was better than the later "囧囧", still failed to break the one billion mark.
Tang An is also very optimistic about "Wolf Warrior", but it is still far away from reaching one billion.
Although the market is getting bigger, more movies are released every year. One billion is still a very high threshold, and many great directors have not crossed it.
Ning Hao's "Beautiful Heart" exceeded 1 billion, but before that, two classic comedy movies "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing", plus the constantly acclaimed "No Man's Land", have been
Accumulated, it broke through the billion mark in one fell swoop this year.
Huang Bo is well-known, popular with audiences, and is good at comedy.
However, one billion box office is still a huge gap for the mainland market, and it is not so easy to cross.
If just like Huang Bo can break one billion, then directors such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Chen Kexin should just go home and farm.
The entertainment industry doesn't need these big directors anymore, just find some famous actors to be directors.
After laughing for a while, Wang Zhongjun said, "I hope Tang An guessed it right this time. If Huang Bo can get a billion box office, Wang Baoqiang will be about the same. Having a director with a billion box office will also be beneficial to us."
."
But Wang Zhongjun was just thinking about it, how could this be possible?
The success of Zhao Wei, Deng Chao, Guo Jinming, Han Han and others has made these big directors in the industry very embarrassed. After all, some laymen made movies for the first time as directors, and their box office was higher than that of most famous directors.
, they can’t keep it on their faces.
Zhao Wei only made 700 million at the box office. If there were actors who came from different industries and became directors and made movies with a box office of 1 billion, then those famous directors should die of shame.
Like Wang Zhongjun, most people took this as a joke. After all, even Huang Bo himself didn't believe it. Who would believe that an actor-director's debut film had a box office of over 1 billion.
Tang An's words were circulated within a small circle in the industry, and also caused dissatisfaction among many directors.
Feng Xiaogang didn't care about things on the Internet and prepared his film seriously, but he was affected by Tang An's words again.
Feng Xiaogang was very unhappy. He didn't even have a billion-dollar movie, and now Tang An actually said that a movie directed by Huang Bo could sell a billion dollars.
Chiguoguo’s contempt!
However, Feng Xiaogang's sense of crisis is getting heavier and heavier. In the past two years, more and more new directors have come forward. If he no longer produces good works, he will be taken over by these young people in a few years.
Already.
The same is true for Xu Ke, who will have a new film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" to be released soon. Although he is senior and well-connected, he can move among Huayi, Bernard, and Wanda with ease. He has no constraints and has gained enough benefits.
But at that time, because these companies all relied on themselves, if there were more and more directors like Zhao Wei, Deng Chao, Guo Jinming, and Han Han who relied on their fame to make money at the box office, and it would become easier and easier to sell movies, then If he wants to play both sides again, it won't be that easy.
Wu Yusen, who also has a new movie released, is taking a break. The movie is finished and he wants to take a good rest before it is released and then go to promote it.
After successfully completing an epic disaster blockbuster, Wu Yusen was in a very good mood, and he just didn't take it seriously when Tang An said that Huang Bo's new film could break one billion.
One billion is no longer his goal, so he doesn't feel too unhappy. His goal is 1.5 billion, or even higher. It doesn't matter whether others take one billion at the box office. It doesn't matter to him, they can't compare to him anyway.
...
There is another person who is equally unhappy, and that is Wang Baoqiang.
Three major companies, Ahli, Huayi, and China Film, participated in the investment of "Havoc in Tianzhu". Ahli and Huayi guaranteed distribution, and China Film jointly distributed it, so the contract was finalized two days late.
After signing the contract, Fan Luyuan continued to talk about Tang An's prediction for "Havoc in Tianzhu".
"Guard the wall, it seems that Director Tang still doesn't believe you. The box office of 300 to 400 million is a bit different from Huang Bo's one billion." Fan Luyuan said with a smile.
Wang Baoqiang has potential, Fan Luyuan will definitely win over him, but first he must completely pull Wang Baoqiang away from Tang An.
After all, Wang Baoqiang has appeared in the "Junnie" series three times in a row. If Xu Zheng wants to make a fourth series and invites Wang Baoqiang to join, and gives up part of his investment share in order to win over him, who knows whether Wang Baoqiang will be moved.
It's obviously a stimulating general, but it's really useful for the current Wang Baoqiang.
In the past few days, he frequently visited various top venues, chatted and laughed with big shots in the entertainment industry, and called him brothers, which made Wang Baoqiang feel that he was already at the top of the entertainment industry.
However, many years of cautious acting career have prevented him from getting too excited and lashing out in front of Fan Luyuan and Wang Zhonglei.
Wang Baoqiang said with a smile, "Three to four hundred million is actually a lot. After all, the production fee is only 70 million, which is enough to recover the cost."
Wang Zhonglei went on to say, "Director Tang has always had a good vision. I'm afraid he may have made a mistake this time. If "A Good Show" can really get a billion box office, I believe Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu" will also be successful." It won’t be bad.”
Fan Luyuan nodded in agreement, "No matter how good the vision is, there will be times when you don't know the goods. No one or any company can always be successful. Whether it's us, Tengxun, or Baidu, we have all experienced major crises. , but in the end, I survived and reached the heights I am today."
"Isn't there an old saying that goes well, things will turn upside down if things go well? This time, Mr. Tang made a mistake. Maybe it will be the beginning of prosperity and decline."
How could this go so far and involve the future decline of the Han and Tang Dynasties?
Wang Zhonglei was noncommittal. Now the Han and Tang Dynasties have passed the period of relying on a few movies. Let alone the failure of movies due to mistakes, even if a few more movies fail, it will not have much impact.
Since Tang An left, Huayi has made fewer movies that have hit the market, but they still make money, and they still become the number one film and television stock, with a market value of over 50 billion.
Wang Baoqiang just listened. He is a little arrogant now, but he is not stupid.
But what Fan Luyuan said next made his heart skip a beat.
"In the past, Zhou Xingchi was called the King of Comedy, but he is also old. Currently, only Xu Zheng and Baoqiang are qualified to take over this title. And Baoqiang, like Zhou Xingchi, you started from the bottom as a bit player. As long as you
This "Havoc in Tianzhu" is a success, and the next king of comedy must be you!"
The next king of comedy?
Wang Baoqiang's heart was beating wildly. A comedian who doesn't want to be the King of Comedy is not a good actor. In the face of this title, all reason is thrown away.
