Chapter 125: The intention to win the award was exposed, and the media called it unwise
Chapter 125 The intention to win the award was exposed, and the media called it unwise
Because Karasawa deliberately kept a low profile, "Good Will Hunting" did not hold a final press conference, and not many people knew that the film had been filmed.
But after all, this matter needs to be announced.
Therefore, Tangze published the final photos on the official website of Tianze Jianhao.
So, it took several days for Karasawa's fans to know that "Good Will Hunting" had been completed.
[I’m going, everyone, go to Tianze’s official website to see, "Good Will Hunting" has been completed. Tang Ze, the old thief, has made it so secretive.]
[I also watched it, it is indeed finalized, and Tianze’s announcement has been released. It’s just that there is no reason, Tang Xianzi has never been so low-key and restrained.]
[Wrap in 40 days? Tangjitang is really fast as always, but it’s a bit strange that the news didn’t report this.]
[I also think there is a problem. Based on my understanding of Tangtang, he may have other intentions. This is a prelude to something big.]
[Brothers and sisters, I am sure your feeling is right. I will analyze it here, and the following is an analysis post.]
[With Tang Talent’s temperament, he will definitely make a big deal out of it after the movie is made and let everyone know about it, so that the box office will be high. There are many examples, please look at his various publicity actions in the past... In summary, Tang Talent’s movie will definitely be a success
He tried his best to promote it, but this time, he went in the opposite direction. The goal may no longer be box office, otherwise the logic would not make sense.]
[Wow, your analysis of Karasawa is so thorough. It makes sense. But if the movie doesn’t win box office, then it can only win awards? That’s boring. I’ve been waiting for two months. Isn’t Karasawa making a literary film?
】
[Who said that only literary and artistic films can win awards? And even if it is a literary and artistic film, I support Tangtang. He wants to win awards, which proves that he always sets high goals for himself.]
[Alas, I originally thought that there were good movies to watch, but literary and artistic films were boring. Watching those literary and artistic films before made me sleepy. I only wanted to watch commercial films.]
[Since it is a literary film, it is estimated that the box office will not be high. I hope Tang Ze is mentally prepared.]
Next, some of Karasawa's fans expressed their distaste for artistic films, while others expressed their unconditional support for Karasawa.
At the box office and before the movie started shooting, some fans speculated that Tang Ze planned to reach 200 million or 300 million.
Now, no one is evaluating it, just think that Tang Ze is using it to boost his qualifications.
However, it is obviously just their speculation that Karasawa will use "Good Will Hunting" to win the award.
As a result, it didn’t take long for it to become an established fact among movie fans and was discussed continuously.
The discussion came and went, and we came to discuss what awards Karasawa planned to win and what film festivals he planned to participate in.
Movie fans have guessed almost all of the dozens of international film festivals, including the three major European film festivals.
Of course, the top prizes at the three major film festivals cannot be said casually.
Especially for rational fans, if you say it too exaggeratedly, you may bring bad luck to your idol.
In today's Hua Kingdom, whoever can win another Palme d'Or may be able to directly become a god and gain the status of Brother Chen Kai and Zhang Yimou.
Take a look at Brother Chen Kai's current works. He's too good to stand up to other people's Palme d'Or resumes.
At the same time, the media also discovered the discussion about Karasawa using "Good Will Hunting" to win an award.
When I thought that Tang Ze's movie was finished, they actually knew about it at the same time as the netizens.
Needless to say, it must be Tang Ze's fault. Why is a public figure so mysterious?
So the media didn’t care whether it was true or not that Tang Ze was going to win the award, and followed the report:
"Karasawa's movie "Good Will Hunting" has been completed and is intended to win awards, but it may not have a high box office. Will this be a low point in director Karasawa's career?"
"As a commercial film director, Karasawa wants to use awards to speak for himself, which may cause him to fall into the whirlpool of public opinion. "Good Will Hunting" may destroy the appeal that Karasawa has established."
"As we all know, any international film festival has a long history and selection criteria, and the competition is fierce. It never looks at the performance of the director's past works. It is really not a wise choice for Karasawa to give up his box office advantage and focus on the awards field."
"Feng Xiaogang never relies on awards to prove himself, but awards follow him closely, especially domestic awards. Commercial films are never short of qualifications to win awards. I hope Tang Ze is just a temporary idea and will return to the box office advantage in the future."
"There is no point in insisting on foreign awards. This is not just a question of the quality of the film. The cultural barriers are there, and Tang Ze should find his own position."
The meaning of various reports is very clear. After all, they just accuse Tang Ze of being stupid.
Winning the award is not just a whim, but it is also picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
In addition to the three major European awards, no matter how many other awards you win, can they compare with the status brought by a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions?
A small movie can earn hundreds of millions for a small cost. If anyone else has this level, I’m afraid they won’t stop until they make more money than they can count.
It's good for Tangze, it's only his second theatrical film and he's planning to win an award.
Don’t you know how many people envy you?
Too willful!
All the major media outlets hate iron and steel, as if they are losing money, and repeatedly express how unworthy it is for Tang Ze to make movies just to win awards.
When Tang Ze found out about this, he didn't know whether to say that the movie fans were roundworms in his stomach, or that he was too low-key and exposed his true intentions.
He clearly didn't say he wanted to win the award, but the media was already making a big fuss about it.
Fortunately, he did not say that he wanted to participate in Cannes and win the Palme d'Or.
Otherwise, Tangze would have spent these few months in a quarrel.
Perhaps this kind of noise will bring continued popularity to "Good Will Hunting", but it is unnecessary. If the movie is really classified as a literary film, it will be over.
However, Tang Ze is more relieved that no matter how noisy the news is on the Internet, before he speaks out, this matter is at most only a possibility.
In the blink of an eye, Jia Zhangke accepted an interview, seemingly speaking for him, but it confirmed the fact that Tang Ze was going to win the award.
"The opposition to Director Tang on the Internet is very strange. Why is it that winning awards is not worth it, and only box office is the truth?"
"I think that works incubated with Chinese culture are recognized abroad. This is a means of promoting Chinese culture."
"Even if it is not easy to win the prize, you may even continue to fail."
"But a young director like Director Tang with endless potential should have understood the hardships of making movies."
"Director Tang once asked me about winning an award on the phone. I supported him very much at that time. I still think the same way now."
"If Director Tang hasn't decided which film festival to participate in yet, you can go to Cannes with me."
"Selection is not as difficult as people say. As long as the work is good enough, everything is possible."
"I will also ask my friends to help Director Tang get the qualification to participate in the exhibition."
With Jia Zhangke's words, the media reported this matter more frequently this time.
A few months ago, he asked his seniors about their experience in winning awards, which meant that Tang Ze had already planned it.
It’s hard to say what level a movie made to win awards can be.
But those who hope that Karasawa will fail don’t mind labeling him as a box-office failure.
The audience for "Good Will Hunting" was not the audience from the beginning, but the judges of the film festival.
So, viewers, don’t wait and wait.
Unless you like literary films, you will only be disappointed if you watch them.
In fact, it is indeed the case.
When they found out that Karasawa's purpose in filming "Good Will Hunting" was to win awards, many people said they lost interest in watching it.
It is true that many high-scoring movies are literary films.
However, there are not many movies that can make people watch with relish the first time, and like them from the bottom of their hearts instead of following the crowd.
Not to mention, most of Karasawa's fans are young people.
If he doesn't do something, he may really lose this part of the audience and affect the box office.
For Tang Ze, if he is asked to choose between winning an award and having a high box office, he will of course only choose a high box office.
