Chapter 146 The Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony unfolds
Chapter 147 The Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony begins
After Tang Ze came to his senses, Liu Yifei mocked: "What? Isn't the embrace of foreign female stars worth remembering?"
Seeing Liu Yifei's jealous look, Tang Ze wanted to pinch her face in a funny way.
After being opened by her, Tang Ze simply moved his lips towards her, catching her off guard.
Tang Ze licked the corners of his lips: "Looking back again, is this worth remembering?"
Liu Yifei originally wanted to vent his anger, but with such a kiss, all his anger was gone.
Especially when she saw Tang Ze's gentle smile, she had almost no resistance.
Just forgive him!
He didn't mean it either.
But today's matter still made her a little worried.
She looked at Tang Ze longingly and asked, "If I hadn't opened the door at that time, would you have pushed her away?"
Tang Ze originally wanted to make a joke, but seeing that she was serious about asking, he replied: "Yes!"
She was not at ease and asked again: "But there are so many women in the world and there are so many temptations, will you push every one of them away?"
Tang Ze held Liu Yifei's hand with one hand and touched her head with the other: "As long as it's not you, even if the person gives me money, I will push them away, okay?"
Liu Yifei finally felt at ease and said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with the two questions. I will give you 20 points."
Just when Tang Ze was about to be happy, Liu Yifei turned around and said: "Having physical contact with another woman will deduct 30 points, and the balance will be minus 10 points."
"Your performance score is only 50 points now!"
Tangze: "..."
In the days that followed, Tangze and others fell into waiting.
Occasionally, people come over to interact with me, which can be considered as expanding my social circle.
It’s just that it’s hard to have any interactions with most of them.
There are three people who are worth mentioning.
One, Quentin Tarantino, said that he knew Tang Ze through Jiang Wen.
Tang Ze later learned that Jiang Wen actually said that he would be one of the most famous directors in the future world, and he really gave him face.
Second, a film critic named Li Yongkang.
What's weird is that most film critics evaluate his movies from various aspects such as meaning, appreciation, and artistry.
Let’s not talk about “Good Will Hunting”, just watch “The Camcorders Don’t Stop!”, and many people praised it highly.
But this Li Yongkang said he was a little disappointed with Tang Ze.
I hope he can return to his original intention and make movies based on structure and genre.
In Li Yongkang's words, he felt that Tang Ze's creativity and innovation were unparalleled.
Karasawa should completely abandon the current film shooting environment, become his own entity, create his own themes and types, and become another film monument.
To be honest, Tang Zeli would ignore most people who express disappointment directly.
But this Li Yongkang, Tang Ze can actually feel the feeling of hating that iron cannot become steel.
But, does this person seem to have some misunderstanding about him?
Is the film structure and subject matter so easy to innovate?
"This Man Comes from the Earth" is a new theme, but it cannot become a popular genre.
In his impression, there is a kind of tabletop movie with a very new structure, but he probably won't be able to make it, after all, the box office is not high.
In the end, Tang Ze only said his best before sending Li Yongkang away.
Third, Nicholas Kristof.
Tang Ze has heard of this name a long time ago. It seems that this is the person who helped him speak for him in Europe.
Tangze thanked him for this.
Nicholas only smiled and said that excellent directors deserve to be known.
"Good Will Hunting" is the best movie he has seen this year.
In addition to socializing, Tang Ze and Liu Yifei spent the rest of the time traveling to Cannes and having fun.
Halfway through, Liu Xiaoli called and knew that Liu Yifei was in Cannes. She was a little helpless, but still asked her to pay attention to her safety.
Liu Xiaoli should have guessed that Tang Ze was nearby, but she didn't even mention Tang Ze.
I just repeatedly warned you not to make promises to men easily, and don’t give yourself to other men easily.
Tang Ze knew that Liu Xiaoli was trying different ways to warn him, but he didn't care.
Of course, in Tang Ze's mind, Liu Xiaoli, who would alienate them by deceiving his daughter, was no longer worthy of his respect.
From now on, Liu Yifei's life can only be in her own hands, and it's time for Liu Xiaoli to be out.
In the next few days, Natasha Portman was very efficient and recommended Karasawa to 20th Century Fox.
Someone from Fox quickly rushed to Cannes and negotiated with Karasawa.
They seemed to value Tang Ze very much and had a different kind of transaction with him.
During the negotiation, they all accepted the ladder-sharing method proposed by Tangze.
When the box office of "Black Swan" reaches 50 million US dollars, Karasawa can get 5% of the share.
80 million US dollars, you can get 10% share.
US$100 million, 15%.
US$200 million, 30%.
US$300 million, 50%.
This share is actually ridiculously high, but Fox agreed.
And their request is very simple.
They have their eyes on the Chinese film market and believe that the Chinese film market will see a qualitative improvement in the future.
Karasawa only needs to be Fox's contact person, and he will help promote future Fox movies.
Of course, they will pay corresponding fees.
Tangze agreed to the proposal.
At the same time, Tang Ze also received other benefits.
For US$3 million, he bought the broadcast rights of "Black Swan" in China, which Fox still doesn't value very much.
Since then, this transaction has come to an end.
Tangze felt that this time he should be considered to have made the highest profit in history in advance.
If Fox knew that "Black Swan" would be a hit in the future, it would definitely regret it.
You also have to get money from abroad quickly.
On May 22, there are only three days left before the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.
People are eagerly waiting for that time to come.
Everything is moving in a good direction, but some people come out to act like monsters.
An American actress named Sharon Stone, in an interview at the Cannes Film Festival, called the earthquake a funny thing in order to gain attention.
It is extremely inhumane to call it "retribution".
At that time, Tang Ze and most Chinese directors were listening to Quentin Tarantino's special speech.
When this incident came out, it was particularly infuriating.
Tang Ze took the initiative and forced her to apologize to the Chinese people.
Sharon naturally did not apologize.
Impolite gringos like these always wait until their real interests are lost before they regret it.
Due to Karasawa's special nature, Sean Penn took the initiative to lead the order staff to expel Sharon Stone from the Cannes Film Festival.
The next day, Nicholas helped Karasawa condemn Sharon Stone in the newspaper.
Not long after, brands including Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and other brands successively announced the cancellation and suspension of any cooperation with Sharon Stone.
Fox, which has not yet left, also took the lead and announced that it would no longer have any film and television cooperation with Sharon Stone.
The actress probably didn't expect retribution to come so quickly, or she couldn't imagine that someone in China could have such deep connections with such large foreign companies.
Only three days later, on May 25, he took the initiative to apologize for her inappropriate remarks.
It's a pity that at this time, everyone's attention has long been focused on the long-awaited award ceremony, and no one cares about her.
Including Tang Ze, although he already had some predictions in his mind.
The fact that people in France spoke for him a few days ago is proof of this.
But even so, he can't help but feel a little restless.
Palme d'Or.
On the surface he doesn't care, but how could he really ignore it?
Once you win.
From now on, his status in China will be unshakable by anyone.
