Chapter 126 "Good Will Hunting" is a commercial film
Tangze was interviewed again.
It's also a high-tech news agency. This time, high-tech news just happened to come to Wu Han, and he interviewed Tang Ze personally.
"You're welcome, Director Tang!" Gao Xin greeted enthusiastically.
She is not a girl from Tang, but Tang Ze is too lazy to chat: "Reporter Gao, let's get to the point. This interview is very important."
Gao Xin nodded helplessly: "First of all, everyone knows that Director Tang, you rarely give interviews."
"You took the initiative to contact the media this time. Do you want to express something?"
Tangze looked at the camera on the side and nodded solemnly:
"I hope my fans, who are looking forward to my new movie, will not be misled by online reports."
"In fact, I admit that I do plan to win an award with "Good Will Hunting", and I am aiming for the Palme d'Or, the highest prize at the Cannes International Film Festival."
Opposite Tang Ze, Gao Xinke, who was holding the microphone, was so shocked that he almost shook the microphone off.
He quickly corrected his posture and said:
"Director Tang, I heard you right, you were just talking about the Palme d'Or in France?"
Tang Ze shrugged: "Is there a second Palme d'Or in the world?"
Gao Xin swallowed, feeling a little excited.
Not only because of Tang Ze's ambition, but also because this time Gaoxin News Agency got another big news.
Just listen to Tang Ze continue: "I don't want to reveal it, and I know it will cause criticism."
"However, my goal is never to make movies to win awards, as stated on the Internet."
"I declare here that "Good Will Hunting" is a commercial film first, and an award-winning film second."
"That is to say, I make movies with the audience in mind first. This is also my consistent attitude as a director."
"Only movies that are popular with the public are movies worth making."
"The audience will always be my base, and it should be the base for every filmmaker."
"Those who say that I am trying to please the judges are not true."
"Besides, no one stipulates that commercial films cannot win awards, right? "Titanic" back then was a commercial film, but it also won numerous awards."
"So, what's wrong with me participating in the Palme d'Or with a commercial film? It's normal!"
Gaoxin suddenly realized, this makes sense.
With the subsequent explanation, when Karasawa initially said he wanted to win the Palme d'Or, he was mistaken for the playful mentality of a young man.
Most of them are not serious, just a fun.
This makes Gaoxin feel a little pity.
Although the news that Karasawa is competing for the Palme d'Or is still big news, it lacks enough absurdity.
Gaoxin didn't pause much and continued:
"So Director Tang, what was your original intention for making this movie? Can you tell us about it?"
Tang Ze showed emotion: "Original intention... Who knows if there is one?"
"It's just that I see too many people who are frustrated and trapped in the past or some obsession, including myself."
"Perhaps I made this movie just to vent, or maybe I hope that people with spiritual difficulties can reconcile with themselves..."
"It's the same sentence, who knows?" Tang Ze spread his hands:
"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. The real answer needs to be told by the audience."
After the interview, this interview was quickly published by Gaoxin News Agency.
When the media saw the three words Palme d'Or, they simply ignored Tang Ze's explanation and just thought he was crazy. Then they published reports blaming Tang Ze:
"It is understandable that young people are ambitious, and we should support them. But goals must be realistic, especially for people like Tangze who are role models for young people. They should be down-to-earth and not be arrogant."
"The Palme d'Or is the highest honor for international filmmakers after the Oscars. Tang Ze should not despise it and use it as a springboard for arbitrary actions. This is disrespectful to the League of Nations."
"Why can't Chinese people now make excellent films that can be certified by Cannes? From Karasawa's behavior, we may have to make some reflections. If we want to win awards, we must respect that films are artistic and not popular." In addition to the media, Jia Zhangke, who had previously supported him, was also disappointed.
Expressed the hope that Tang Ze can realize as soon as possible that the essence of movies is cultural symbols.
The recognition of movies by international film festivals is also the recognition of culture.
And not just recognition of the movie itself.
Otherwise, movies whose purpose is to make money and please the public can also be regarded as art?
Perhaps because the topic of business and literature and art has caused too much controversy, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige also expressed their opinions.
Zhang Yimou did not take sides, only said: "A movie is a movie, and time can prove it."
Brother Chen Kai read a poem.
In contrast, most netizens are on Tang Ze's side.
What they cannot appreciate is the idea of art, and I believe not many people would agree with it.
[After all, Tang Ze is more close to the people, while other directors want to praise the bad feet of Europe and the United States and worship foreign countries.]
[That’s right, who decided the international? It was decided by international people. This is not a Western international. I support Tang Ze’s movies. As long as he maintains his original intention, I will buy tickets for every movie he makes.]
[Tang Xianzi is domineering. He kicks Souhu, punches Bo Na, and cuts the Palme d'Or with his sword. This is what he wants to do!]
[No one thinks that "What's wrong with making a commercial film and participating in Cannes" is cool? I like Tangtang who is so willful and considerate of the audience]
[Although I support Tang Chicken Soup very much, it’s a pity that he is probably just going to Cannes this time. I kind of hope that he will be more serious and come back with an award to shut up others.]
[Forget it upstairs, it’s too difficult. Not to mention the Palme d’Or, the competition for other awards is also very high. Tang Xianzi only needs to make good commercial films. When he is in his thirties or forties, he will get tired of making commercial films, and I will support him to pursue it.
Award.】
【I support it too!】
【Support!】
【……】
After looking at the trend of online comments, Tangze breathed a sigh of relief.
It should be to regain the goodwill of netizens.
This is a basic disk and cannot be lost.
As for the media and other directors, he doesn't care.
……
Seeing the changing atmosphere on the Internet, the two kings of Huayi and Wang Guangxian, who happened to be gathered together, were speechless.
Wang Zhongjun sighed: "Just like Tang Ze, who turned black into white and confounded right and wrong, our investment in "Good Will Hunting" will not be a loss."
"I can only say that netizens are too naive. Tang Ze is a real thickhead, and he doesn't even blink when he lies."
Wang Zhonglei said: "Yes, "Good Will Hunting" is obviously a literary film, but he determined it to be a commercial film."
"With the support of these audiences, "Good Will Hunting" may exceed 100 million."
"I'm not worried about the box office of "Good Will Hunting" now, but I'm thinking about how many spots Huayi can get for the "Welcome to the Capital" MV."
“It’s really frustrating that this notice hasn’t come out for so long.”
He looked at Wang Changba: "Mr. Wang, how many places can you Guangxian get?"
Wang Changhao shook his head: "I don't know, there should be at least one. I'm not worried."
"By the way, have you paid attention to the overseas results of Karasawa's "Don't Stop the Camera!"?"
Wang Zhongjun nodded: "Yes, very high. There is someone over there who can speak for Tang Ze."
"Obviously it is all Chinese actors, but the box office in Europe and the United States has exceeded 30 million US dollars. Luc Besson is already planning to remake it."
"The box office of Xiaoli is even more exaggerated, nearly 4 billion yuan, equivalent to 253 million soft girl coins."
"I heard that Tang Ze still had a share of the profits when he was young. He made a lot of money."
The three of them looked at each other and sighed.
There is really no comparison between people.
And Karasawa's movies can make so much money overseas, so they won't let them go in the future.
