Chapter 47 Mr. Xu

In the evening Tang An was in his room perfecting the script. He was not in a hurry to start working on the storyboard script. Anyway, the movie was not in a hurry. Even if it was finished now, there was no suitable schedule.

Next year, Tang An plans to go to the summer film to test the waters. After all, it is the second only to the Lunar New Year film in the domestic film market, and it is much better than the National Day film.

However, there is also a lot of competition in summer, and Hollywood blockbusters will also join in.

In my impression, next summer will include Xu Ke's "Seven Swords", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the classic cartoon "Madagascar", Jay Chou's "Initial D", and "Ren Changxia ".

"Seven Swords" should be his main opponent. After all, he won the summer title with a box office of 8000 million.

The king of heaven, Jay Chou, is also hanging on. "Initial D", a racing movie, actually got more than 6000 million at the box office.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" also got more than 6000 million box office.

"Madagascar" box office also exceeded 2000 million.

There is also "Ren Changxia". In order to commemorate this hero who passed away this year, two film and television dramas have started shooting this year and will be released and broadcast next year.

Ten miles of Dengfeng Road, the white curtains are like clouds, tears are soaked in Songyue, and the sound is mournful.

Although it was unavoidable to book the venue, there was nothing wrong with it, and Tang An would not complain about it, not to mention that the chartered venue did not take up too much space.

Tang An hasn't watched the movie, but he has watched the TV series, and he still can't bear to watch the last episode.

Excluding "Ren Changxia", the total box office of these films is about 2.2 million.

We must know that the total box office of imported films and domestic films in 05 was only 20 billion, and this July accounted for more than one-tenth.

The competition is nothing short of insignificant!
This is not counting some other movies, who knows which movies will be reserved by then.

Constantly perfect every scene, every line, and every coordinated action must be carefully crafted.

Although the first movie has already made a name for itself, with a certain foundation of popularity, it also has some advantages in terms of distributors and theaters.

But Tang An still can't take it lightly. You must not waste money until you really become a director at the level of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai, otherwise your reputation will not be enough to squander a few times.

After drinking some beer with them for dinner, Tang An was still a little dizzy because he hadn't fully woken up from the wine at noon.

Looking at the time, I put down the script at about 9 o'clock and went to bed.

Xu Manyun in the next room was also about to go to bed, and the phone rang just after washing his face. Seeing that it was Li Xiaowan calling, he quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Mr. Li!"

"It should be fine"

Xu Manyun responded one by one, suddenly his face changed, his mouth murmured, he opened his mouth and said unwillingly, "Okay, Mr. Li, let's try to get to Shanghai in the afternoon!"

Xu Manyun hangs up the phone in a daze. Zou Xun will sign a contract with Huayi in January next year, and there is still nearly a month left. Zhou Jia is no longer Zou Xun's manager.

Li Xiaowan asked him to take Yang Mi to sugar man film and television to audition for a TV series in Shanghai. Zhou Jia was already waiting there. From today on, Zhou Jia officially became Yang Mi's manager, and she became the second manager.

That is the assistant!
After receiving this news, Xu Manyun didn't fall asleep all night, and got up early the next day.

"Morning, Man Yun."

Tang An yawned, seeing her tired face, he was a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, didn't sleep well? What happened?"

"Zhou Jia has already arrived in Shanghai, and I will hand over the work to her after we meet up there!"

Xu Manyun's tone was low, and she could hear that she was very unwilling.

"So soon, Zou Xun's contract hasn't officially expired yet!" Tang An wondered.

"It's not your fault!" Xu Manyun felt helpless.

"What does this have to do with me!" Tang An was puzzled.

"Now Mi Mi is considered a star, Mr. Li wants to start packaging her as soon as possible while "Shark Beach" is still a little hot, and won the heroines of "New Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" and "Wang Zhaojun", That's why I was anxious to let Zhou Jia take over, after all, Zou Xun brought out by her is definitely better than me in this aspect!"

This.
"Okay, blame me, so what are your plans, to be Mi Mi's assistant?"

"What else can I do, why don't you bring new people?"

Xu Manyun said helplessly, "The company signs so many newcomers every year, and after a year, no one remembers them, and then another group of people come in, it's really hard for newcomers to succeed!"

"That"

Tang An thought for a while and said, "If you really don't want to fight Zhou Jia, come to me!"

Xu Manyun was overjoyed, and said half-jokingly, "Why, acting as a manager for a great director?"

Tang An shook his head, "I don't need a manager!"

Xu Manyun's face darkened.

"Isn't the box office share of China Film Group coming down? I'm going to register a studio, and the tax deduction is much less than personal tax. Then I have to start preparing for the new film. Props, costumes, and actor recruitment are also very troublesome. , come here if you want!" Tang An continued.

"Being your housekeeper? But I have never been in touch with film and television production!" Xu Manyun shook his head.

"That's fine. I'm still in charge of the crew, and the studio doesn't have much to do. You should be able to take care of logistics, procurement, personnel, and finance. How about it, Mr. Xu!"

"You mean?" Xu Manyun asked uncertainly with surprise on his face.

"That's right, general manager of Tang An Studio, are you interested!" Tang An laughed.

Opening a studio is a must, not to mention the high personal income tax, plus the tax reduction strategy in some regions, the discount is quite high.

Moreover, it is impossible for an individual to obtain a film shooting license and a screening license. When the time comes to establish a project, it must be affiliated with another company.

Although Tang An still holds a large proportion of the investment, he is still too passive and prone to disputes.

"Why, you don't want to come!" Seeing that she hadn't made a sound, Tang An asked.

"Yes, as long as I'm afraid I won't be able to help you!" Xu Manyun was still a little worried. After all, she had been working as a manager all along, and she was only a small player, and had never been in touch with the core of the crew.

"Learn slowly, there won't be too many things at the beginning, and you will get started slowly!"

Xu Manyun was able to run a film and television production company by himself later, so Tang An was naturally not worried about her potential.
