Chapter 152 Three families held a reception banquet, reporters’ questions

On that day, Huayi, Zhongjing, and Guangxian repeatedly stated that they would hold a reception banquet for Tang Ze.

Tangze thought it was unnecessary and wanted to refuse, but Han Sanping persuaded him to arrange the screening.

Movies must be promoted first and then released.

Although the aura of the Golden Palm is strong, it cannot stop China today, where most people still do not use the Internet.

If you want these people to watch his movies, on-site publicity is necessary.

In terms of schedule, the summer schedule is naturally the best schedule.

Especially the two months of July and August are the best.

At that time, school was almost on holiday, and college entrance examination students had ended their busy high school careers. There were many people willing to have fun.

The only thing that gave Karasawa some hesitation was that "Red Cliff" had been scheduled, and just like in the previous life, it basically occupied the entire month of July.

Tangze wanted the movie to have a higher box office, so he had to wait an extra month and schedule the movie to August.

At this point, the two kings of Huayi and Wang Changhata of Guangxian gave some cautious reminders.

I'm afraid that Tang Ze doesn't want to wait another month and thinks that Wu Yushen is a weakling and wants to fight him head-on.

Han Sanping directly warned:

""Red Cliff" is a blockbuster movie, so it won't be bad at the box office."

""Good Will Hunting" has the Palme d'Or advantage and is worth looking forward to at the box office."

"When two parties are fighting, one party will be affected. We still seek stability and set August 1."

Tang Ze nodded without much hesitation. He thought so too.

Even though he is fearless in fighting, he still feels that there is no need to fight.

Then just wait one more month!

The date is fixed, the three kings and one Korea relax.

He and the people he called began to toast Karasawa.

Although the reception banquet was not prepared in advance, there were many people coming.

People from various film and television companies and media were present, and their professions included directors, actors, executives, reporters, etc. It was considered a small celebration party.

"Come on, Director Tang, you are a hero, I respect you!"

"Director Tang, I respect you too!"

"Director Tang..."

More and more people were casually toasting. After drinking, Tang Ze simply drank tea instead of wine to avoid getting drunk.

People also relied on him without coercion.

After the toast, Tang Ze invited everyone to eat, drink and have fun, and then walked towards Liu Yifei.

At this time, she, Wu Qian, and Zhao Liying gathered together to chat, and she didn’t know what they were talking about.

However, at present, those who want to occupy Tang Ze’s time most are the major media.

From the beginning to the end of the Cannes Film Festival, Karasawa never accepted a formal interview.

Most of the time, I just give a few perfunctory answers in public.

Therefore, as soon as Tangze withdrew from the crowd, the media gathered around him.

Judging from the way they looked at death, it seemed as if if Tang Ze didn't accept the interview, they would be left in the cold.

Tang Ze couldn't resist, so he temporarily opened a question and answer session to answer questions from the media.

Immediately, Tang Ze's old enemy searched the arc and was the first to grab the right to ask questions with a furious leap.

The Arc Search reporter said excitedly: "Director Tang, do you still have any plans to compete for prizes? In other words, when will you compete for prizes next time?"

This is a good question. Everyone who was chatting and spanking raised their ears.

No one now doubts Karasawa’s ability to win awards.

With Karasawa's temperament, he will win the Palme d'Or even if everyone objects.

Now, don’t you have to go to Berlin and Venice Film Festivals to fight to win the Golden Bear and Golden Lion?

When the time came to combine the three prizes, Tang Zecai proved his invincibility.

However, Tangze always comes up with answers that are beyond their imagination:

"It's hard to say when the prize will be claimed."

"Everyone who knows me knows that my intention in winning the award is essentially for the box office."

"At that time, I felt that the box office of my movie had reached a bottleneck, so I chose to compete for the Palme d'Or."

"If I want to win an award again in the future, it may be when the box office can no longer increase."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but complain.

I know you shit, but your first theatrical movie earned nearly 200 million at the box office.

The second part hasn't even been released yet, and it went straight to Cannes. Where did the bottleneck come from?

Needless to say, Karasawa must be pretending.

Just listen to them.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Tang Ze sighed.

In fact, he really wanted to break the bottleneck, or increase his upper limit, before going for the prize.

If you understand the box office history of Chinese movies, you will know that before "Avatar" appeared.

In 2008 and 2009, there was basically no increase in the box office ceiling for Chinese-language films.

Even for great directors like Zhang Yimou, the movie box office has been hovering around 200 million or 300 million.

But "Avatar" proves that the limit of a single Chinese-language film has already exceeded 1 billion.

It's just that none of the domestic directors have reached further standards in terms of comprehensive capabilities including box office appeal, audience influence, and excellent commercial film creation capabilities.

If he doesn't compete for awards, he might be able to win the box office championship every time.

But there is definitely not much room for improvement, and there may even be regression.

It's equivalent to his upper limit being locked.

We can only wait for the emergence of "Avatar" and be carried forward by the torrent of the times.

Tangze doesn't want this.

He wants to directly increase his popularity to the highest level, and then break through the limit step by step.

Continuing with the question-and-answer session, Tang Ze named a reporter from Tencent.

A reporter from Tengxun asked: "Director Tang, since you raised the issue of bottlenecks, do you think that China's film industry has encountered a bottleneck at present?"

Based on this question, Tang Ze thought about it for a while. He just wanted to express himself and suddenly asked Han Sanping: "Director Han, I remember that the animated movie "Calabash Brothers" will be released tomorrow, right?"

Han Sanping smiled and said: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"What do you think of the box office of this movie?"

Suddenly, many people expressed their opinions.

In general, since "Sparkling Red Star" grossed 50 million last year, animated films have also received a lot of attention.

As a childhood animation for many people, "Calabash Brothers" definitely has a huge fan base.

Therefore, at the beginning of its launch, this animation IP had high hopes.

I want to create it as a gift for children on Children’s Day to prove that China’s animated film market is rising.

Under such expectations, not to mention its box office soaring, at least maintaining the level of "Sparkling Red Star", it won't be a problem to win tens of millions, right?

There are many people who hold this idea, accounting for more than 80%.

No one would even think that this animation would not even reach a box office of 10 million.

But the fact is that it is indeed very poor, only a few million.

Tang Ze did not reveal the box office of this movie, but roundabout way: "It seems that everyone is optimistic about it."

"But the problem is that our country's animation technology is basically the same as that of the last century. Why do you think the animation market will continue to be good?"

Han Sanping nodded: "This is indeed a question, but what do you want to say?"

Tang Zedao: "What I want to say is that the Chinese film market is indeed making progress, and it has indeed given people a lot of confidence."

"But we should be down-to-earth and look at the problem from reality."

"Just like the hardware can't keep up, if you want to increase production, it's basically a pipe dream."

These words were very serious and made many people frown.

Why does Tang Ze always do the opposite?
