Chapter 99
"Hi Dong Li, welcome!"

"Director Gu is here, please come in!"

"Mr. Zhao."

As a film director and investor, Tang An naturally had to greet the guests in person.

The largest banquet hall in a five-star hotel is enough to accommodate thousands of people at the same time, more than enough to hold a celebration banquet.

"Wu Dong, thank you for the honor!"

"Congratulations to Director Tang, the box office broke through 6000 million in less than half a month after its release!" Wu Bo, chairman of Chengtian, walked in with a smile, followed by a sweet-looking girl with long legs.

"Wu Dong please come in first, I will accompany you later!"

Tang An asked him to go in first, and then greeted him at the door.

Not long after, Wang Zhongjun also came, and Paulie Bernard Yudong showed up for the first time.

Han Sanping was unable to come today because of something, so Wang Jianyuan represented China Film Group.

When everyone arrived, Tang An simply said some words of thanks, greeted everyone, and then moved to another banquet hall next to it.

This banquet hall is preparing for the dinner later, and another banquet hall of the same size has been set up next to it for the celebration press conference!

A huge poster was hung on the back of the grand banquet hall, and the huge "6000 million box office celebration press conference" was placed in the middle.

Reporters on the scene were already in place, and photographers from all directions were fiddling with cameras behind tripods.

Tang An led the crew onto the stage, and waved to everyone in the audience!

After standing still, Tang An bowed deeply to the front, "Welcome everyone to come to the celebration press conference where the box office of "Horror Cruise" broke through 6000 million!"

"Thank you for your long-term support!"

"Clap clap clap clap"

After the applause stopped, Tang An continued to speak.

"Compared to the seniors sitting here, I can only be regarded as a new director. When I decided to direct a film alone last year, I thought that there would be a scene like today, with so many colleagues in the industry supporting me, and so many media coming!"

"But I didn't expect this day to come so fast, so fast that I feel a little unreal standing here now!"

"At this time, I will step on the floor with my feet heavily, feeling this solid feeling, let me know that I am not dreaming!"

"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. I wanted to take the train back to Beijing after promoting the movie from Guangzhou yesterday!"

"Because flying in the sky is really unreliable, there is a feeling of floating!"

As soon as the words fell, there were several kind smiles from the audience.

Reminiscing about the difficulty of filming, Tang An smashed an ice sculpture with the word "6000 million" on behalf of the crew, expressing that the box office of "Terror Cruise" will not stop there.

Then Wang Jianyuan, director of the China Film Distribution Department, and representatives of several theater chains including SMI and New Film Federation also took the stage to speak.

Everything went step by step according to the procedure, and finally it came to the part of the reporter's interview.

The first reporter who was called out immediately stood up and asked questions directly without giving any face.

"Hello Director Tang, before the release of "Terror Cruise" you announced a target of 1 million, and now there is still a gap of 4000 million from this figure. Do you still think you can meet this expectation?"

His tone was a little blunt, but Tang An didn't care, he said with a smile, "Now that the movie is still showing, everything is possible!"

The reporter continued to ask questions, but a reporter on the other side had already asked questions first.

Everyone received the red envelopes, and most of them were very well-behaved and didn't deliberately come out to make trouble.

"Hello, Director Tang. With the success of the two films "Shark Beach" and "Terror Cruise", the industry generally believes that horror films have a huge market in China. What do you think?"

Tang An unobtrusively glanced at the reporter just now, remembered which media it was, and was going to tell Xu Manyun later, don't invite such a winless person next time.

Waste a red envelope!
"In fact, any type of movie has potential audiences, and we need to attract them to the cinema with excellent movies!" Tang An said.

"It is said that many companies have already started preparing to make horror movies. What does Director Tang think of this follow-up behavior?"

It's more than just following the trend. Tang An heard that a medium-sized film and television company has already approved a project in Optoelectronics, and the script outline is almost the same.

It's just that the heroine is replaced by the hero, the son is replaced by the daughter, and the cruise ship is replaced by the train.

If he hadn't obtained the plot outline from China Film Group, Tang An would have thought that some time traveler would shoot "Source Code"!

I slandered in my heart, but the smile on the surface was still there.

"At present, there are still relatively few domestic horror films, and the market is in a blank period. If everyone produces a few more high-level horror films, it will just fill in the gap!"

Of course Tang An wouldn't bombard others for following suit, it's useless for him to scold this thing, people don't care so much for making money.

And he is just an ordinary director now, so many big shots didn't speak, his name is Hammer.

Then a reporter asked Tang An what he thought about the new film. After all, "Shark Shore" had just been released, and he started making "Terror Cruise" right after.

Tang An thought for a while, and said, "The script of the new movie has already taken shape and is being perfected!"

The reporter just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be really rewarding.

Immediately follow up.

"The new film will no longer be a horror film, it is a new attempt by me, a new genre, I hope everyone will like it!"

After finishing speaking, Tang An didn't reveal any details anymore, and changed the topic to "Terror Cruise".

However, the colleagues and reporters at the scene were scratched by the news revealed by Tang An.

The two films made by Tang An are different from any genre in China, and they are very creative. This new film is not horror, which is really curious.

The celebration press conference ended smoothly, the reporters were sent away, and everyone returned to another banquet hall.

The hotel has arranged the scene as a reception, with various Chinese and Western food, pastries and drinks on the table, and the waiters interspersed among them.

Wang Zhongjun approached Tang An immediately, and the smart man didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "Director Tang, why don't you count me in this new film?"

Tang An had already expected Wang Zhongjun's thoughts, and from the corner of his eye, he saw the bosses of several companies looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Wang Dong, my script has just come out, it hasn't been approved yet, and I haven't written a word yet!"

"Director Tang, you only need a film title, and there are plenty of people in and outside the circle who are willing to pay for it!" Wang Zhongjun laughed.

"What if it's a big movie?" Tang An asked back.

"The blockbuster will count me in!"

Wang Zhongjun didn't hesitate, and he wasn't surprised at Tang An's idea of ​​making a big movie.

After every director has some achievements, he wants to make a blockbuster costume film. This is the case with Feng Xiaogang, and the same is true with Chen Kaige. Who can be exempt.

But he believes that the winner always succeeds!

"If it's a sci-fi blockbuster, is Director Wang still interested?" Tang An said with great interest.

This.
Science fiction blockbuster?

There are still science fiction films in China?
The question mark on Wang Zhongjun's head, he has thought about many possibilities, the big deal is a costume blockbuster with an investment of more than 5000 million yuan, and he can even accept comedy films.

But what the hell is a sci-fi blockbuster?In the past few decades, have there been such things in the three places on both sides of the strait?

　Science fiction "blockbuster", everyone can guess, if you can't guess, remember to vote for recommendation o(∩_∩)o
