Eight hundred and twentieth eight chapters send money
The applause in the gymnasium lasted for a long time, and along with the warm applause there was excited discussion from the audience.
"It was so irritating that I didn't even have a point to pee the whole time. I was waiting for a relatively bland plot and was about to go to the toilet, but I didn't wait until it happened. I was suffocated to death!"
"Although there are no particularly large-scale war scenes, the war scenes are too real and shocking."
"The war was so cruel. I felt very uncomfortable when I saw Shi Shi dying, even though I knew it was just a movie!"
"It's so tragic in the movie. I don't know what the actual war will be like, as well as the evacuation of overseas Chinese some time ago. It must be even more cruel!"
"It's just too bloody. It's a bit uncomfortable and nauseating to watch, but it makes it more realistic."
The audience's enthusiastic discussion reached the front row, and no one was surprised.
Which of Tang An's previous films has not been a hit at both the box office and word of mouth? What's more, after watching the movie, these industry insiders had to admit that "Operation Red Sea" is indeed a good movie.
Facing the audience's applause, Tang An and the actors stood up and went on stage again.
"Thank you, thank you all for liking the movie "Operation Red Sea"."
Tang An thanked him on stage, and the host also praised him.
I chatted with the host and the audience, and was briefly interviewed by the reporter.
They had just shown one scene, and they still needed time to think about the topic of the movie itself. After all, they had been playing all the time, and after watching it, they had no other ideas for a while.
Then the topic of four billion was mentioned again. The reporter seemed to be more interested in this topic and looked forward to Tang An being slapped in the face.
But even if it exceeds 4 billion, it is still something worth writing about. No matter what, reporters will not be short of news.
Four billion, the audience, actors and filmmakers in the audience were once again filled with emotion.
Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou both came. As the two top directors at the domestic box office, they felt very uncomfortable when they saw Tang An heading towards the goal of 4 billion.
Neither of them has even had a movie with a box office of over 1 billion. After so many years, the gap is not that big.
Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, Wu Ershan, Deng Chao and others are indeed full of expectations.
It was Tang An who ushered in the billion-dollar era for domestic films. Only after "Edge of Tomorrow" did films begin to hit the billion-dollar mark one after another.
And Tang An has always been a benchmark in the mainland market. He broke one billion, which heated up the market. Soon after, other movies exceeded one billion.
Then there was another 1.5 billion, and "Detective Chinatown 2" reached it.
Although no one has achieved the two billion level yet, it will happen sooner or later.
Now Tang An has hit 4 billion again. Once this figure is exceeded, in less than two years, others will very likely make a 4 billion movie.
To take a step back, even if there is not 4 billion, as long as it can catch up with the box office of Tang An's last movie of 2.4 billion, it is still a huge fortune, enough to make anyone's heart flutter.
These new generation directors who have emerged in recent years are even more aggressive than Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou.
They are young, and for the director industry, they have achieved such great success, which is also the source of confidence.
The other one is performance. Ning Hao's "Heart Blossoms" has exceeded 1.2 billion, Wu Ershan has received 1 billion in the box office two years ago, Xu Zheng's two consecutive films have exceeded 1 billion, and Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" cannot be counted.
One billion, but a niche modern military film that has a box office of 800 million is also a huge success.
Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige have all had their spirits worn down in recent years. Not only were they left far behind by Tang An at the box office, these rising stars also beat their seniors to death on the beach.
The reason why I still have the idea of chasing Tang An is because I am unconvinced. After all, they were both better than Tang An ten years ago.
Such a breath allowed them to maintain their fighting spirit and confidence, but after two more attacks, this little bit of energy would be gone.
Not only the CEOs of major companies and some directors, but also the celebrities who were invited to the stage all had their eyes shining with envy.
These days, people who have reached a certain status start to use their fame to start various companies to make money. Almost all A-list celebrities have half of their capital, and some of them own more than a dozen companies.
As long as they are famous enough, they can take advantage of the opportunity for capital to enter the market and reap the dividends of the rapid development of the industry, and everyone will make a lot of money.
[m] Wang Xiaoming was one of the most successful businessmen in the Mesozoic Era. He owns more than 40 companies covering all walks of life. Last month, his investment company raised 500 million yuan and is preparing to invest heavily in the film and television industry.
"After working hard for a whole year, it's not as good as half of the profit from one of Tang Dong's movies."
Wang Xiaoming was filled with emotion. He worked tirelessly for dozens of companies and involved more than ten industries, but he didn't make much money.
It is not even as profitable as Deng Chao. Deng Chao relied on the Han and Tang dynasties to expand his original studio into a comprehensive film and television company. He opened several other companies and even acted as a director to make his own films.
Wang Xiaoming, who was the first to turn to capital, sometimes wonders what would have happened now if he had followed Tang An.
But it was just a thought. Given the circumstances at the time, Deng Chao had no choice but to leave.
"How about I also switch careers and become a director?"
Huang Xiaoming looked at Xu Zheng, Deng Chao, and Wu Jing, the three directors who had changed careers, with envy, and suddenly had this idea in his heart.
Making a movie with a box office of RMB 780 million and a cost of RMB 30 to 40 million, even if half of the profit is divided, can still make RMB 100 million, which is much better than opening so many companies.
Once this idea appeared in my mind, I couldn't get rid of it.
Wang Baoqiang didn't even go to film school, but if he can be a director, he must be able to do it too.
If you think about it, both Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang's films have sold a guaranteed 800 million yuan, which means they can make tens of millions before they even start filming.
Money is getting easier and easier to earn, and more and more people want to make more money.
Directors from all over the industry have all succeeded. Even He Yan's "Gardenia Blooms" sold nearly 400 million yuan. Although Drama Pictures' guarantee was still tens of millions short of the guarantee, this figure can be considered a success.
What's more, before this, the movies that He Jiong and the Happy Family participated in were synonymous with bad movies, such as "Hee Travels", which can be a big hit, and it's really like picking up money.
Those who are incompetent will work too hard to make any money, while those who are capable will just pick up money.
At the subsequent banquet, someone brought money to Tang An.
"Two hundred million buys 10% of the box office proceeds. Mr. Shi is so generous."
Tang An looked at Shi Jianxiang who took the initiative to come up to him and smiled playfully.
"Haha, Tang Dong's movie is definitely worth the money. I wonder if Tang Dong is willing to do it?"
Shi Jianxiang smiled proudly and said, "I am not short of money, I will help you make money."
Tang An secretly shook his head. If "Operation Red Sea" had a box office of 4 billion, after deducting the publicity and distribution costs and the distribution share, the producer would get a share of more than 1.2 billion points. 10% is more than 120 million. This is 200 million, and it's just a single bill.
It’s the box office share, which is already a premium of 166%.
Money is so easy to come by, and Tang An also knows how Shi Jianxiang will operate. It is just to make profits through the stock market and the p2p small loan platform, but also to sell seven or eight lots, and even the 10% will probably have to be distributed layer by layer.
Making money is too easy. As long as Tang An is willing to share such a large share of the movie, divide it into 2%-5% and sell it out, it will be easy to earn at least a few hundred million more.
However, Tang An now has no shortage of cash, and several companies have taken turns to go public.
Even if you are short of money, you will not accept this kind of money. It is so simple to find a real estate company to cooperate with real-life entertainment projects and sell licenses for 100 million each, plus dividends.
"Thank you, Mr. Shi, for your kindness, but I will forget about the profit sharing. I don't have this idea." Tang An refused with a smile.
Shi Jianxiang was not surprised. He was always honest when doing business. He then said sincerely, "How about 220 million? I really hope to cooperate with Director Tang."
Tang An shook his head, "It's not about money. I don't have this idea. Mr. Shi should look for other movies. Director Zhang's "The Great Wall" has a large investment and a strong cast. Director Chen's "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is also very promising. Shi
