After the wedding banquet, Tang Ze was blocked by reporters who came to interview.
He wanted to reduce his exposure, but he couldn't resist the reporters' persistence, so he had no choice but to accept interviews.
"Excuse me, Director Tang! When the movie is finished filming, when can you expect to meet the fans?"
Tang Zehua said with a smile: "The movie is still in post-production, and the release date has not yet been determined, but it shouldn't make people wait too long. I will try to release it as soon as possible!"
"So do you have any predictions about the film's performance? This is your first time making a theatrical film, are you worried about not meeting the standards?"
"Of course not?" Tang Ze said confidently: "I have confidence in my movie, and I believe it will be loved by movie fans. In terms of box office, I don't force it!"
The reporter immediately said: "If you don't predict the box office, do you know that your first theater movie will not achieve high box office?"
Tang Ze was unmoved: "No, I just think it's best to keep a low profile. But if you really want me to give you some data."
Tang Ze gestured: "At least 50 million!"
Not surprisingly, Karasawa's rare interview aroused heated discussion among movie fans.
[Oh my god! This man is finally finished shooting. It took 23 days to shoot, and I’m so tired of waiting for it!]
[50 million? Isn’t this a bit high? If it is not reached by then, wouldn’t Fairy Tang be ashamed of herself?]
[Not high, not high, definitely not high! Tangtang's "This Man Comes from Diqiu" now has more than 60 million views. Wouldn't it be easy to reach 50 million?]
[Sisters, it’s time to prepare your wallets, and you must buy a ticket to support Tangtang!]
[I'm wondering if Tang Xianzi will write another song to promote the movie? "The Lonely Patient" is really something I never tire of listening to, especially Tang Xianzi's voice, which is much better than Zhou Jielun's.]
[Speaking of songs, there are a few songs being circulated recently, they are so magical, but the resources are hard to find, and I don’t know who wrote them!]
[Do you need resources upstairs? I have them. Add my OO number.]
[I know, I know, there is a song called "Learning to Meow", and now my mind is filled with the temptation of cats. It's so brainwashing.]
【……】
There are many people paying attention to Tang Ze’s news.
When Gu Yongjiang learned that Tang Ze's movie was finished, he immediately launched an event called "Tang Ze's New Movie Countdown Prediction" on Youku.
The topic is: Can you guess how soon "The Cameras Don't Stop!" will be released?
Of course, there is another sentence at the end.
If you can’t wait, come and re-watch "This Man Comes from Earth"!
Although Tang Ze's second movie will not be released on Youku, it does not prevent Gu Yong from being a hot topic.
On the other side, Liu Yifei, who had seen this interview, was complaining to Liu Xiaoli: "Mom, how can this be done?"
"Last time, you said you were afraid that Tang Ze would be busy, so you wanted to wait until the movie was finished before meeting him. But he finished filming, and you said it would be best to wait until the movie was released before meeting again, so that we could discuss the role."
"When the movie comes out, you won't say we'll see you again after the movie is finished, right? I called him at first to agree on a location, but later it was too embarrassing to regret it."
Liu Xiaoli reassured: "Of course not, I'm just worried."
"What's there to worry about, Mom, it's just a meeting. It's normal for OO netizens to meet each other. What's wrong with me meeting him?"
"Is it really just a meeting?" Liu Xiaoli looked at Liu Yifei, "Nothing else?"
"What's there?"
Liu Xiaoli stared at Liu Yifei for a long time, and found that she couldn't see through her daughter's thoughts, so she had to say: "What's the matter? Are you sure you don't have that feeling for him?"
Seeing that Liu Yifei still looked sad, she added: "It's the kind between men and women."
"What!" Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed: "Why do I feel this way about him? We are just...just chat friends."
Liu Xiaoli didn't know whether her daughter was really stupid or deceiving herself, and said: "Even if OO netizens meet like you said, it's because both parties are curious about each other, because they don't know what they look like."
"But Tangze can be found online, and you know what he looks like, so why did you meet him? Just to meet him?"
"I..." Liu Yifei couldn't explain it at the moment, and it was difficult to refute it.
As Liu Xiaoli said, she is actually no longer curious about him, after all, she already knows everything she needs to know.
Is it really that simple to meet?
Immediately, Liu Yifei quickly shook his head and couldn't think so much.
Her original idea was really just to meet once, so she said: "I don't care, that's what I think anyway."
"Alas!" Liu Xiaoli sighed slightly. She felt that her daughter probably still liked that Tang Ze, but she just didn't want to admit it.
Or maybe she didn’t fully understand it herself.
It was based on this judgment that she had to postpone the meeting. If the two of them really got together after meeting, it would be too late to regret.
She still has to observe and learn from Tang Ze.
If Tangze's movie becomes a hit, even if it only costs 20 to 30 million, she feels that he is capable and it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a famous director.
When the time comes, Liu Yifei's participation in one of his movies will not damage her reputation. If the two of them try to get along, she will turn a blind eye as long as it is not excessive.
But if he can't even reach tens of millions, it means that he can only be regarded as a mediocre person. It may not be a good thing for Liu Yifei to meet him.
Liu Xiaoli thinks so. In fact, many people who follow Tang Ze also think so.
For example, the heads of large companies such as Huayi, Guangxian, Bona, and even Han Sanping.
The phenomenon of "This Man Comes from Earth" has too many unexpected elements.
Although it is true that many of these elements were created by Karasawa himself, they obscured his ability as a director.
Without the cheating device of the Internet and endless marketing, if Karasawa's movie hits the streets, I'm afraid many people will think it's nothing more than that.
Then I was even more convinced that "This Man Comes from Earth" would be a hit if they were to film it.
Among them, Yu Dong from Bona is undoubtedly the most steadfast in this idea.
When he saw Tang Ze calling out a box office of at least 50 million in the report, he couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
A new director wants to make 50 million box office for his first theatrical film?
No one in China can do it so far, why can you, Tang Ze?
But he would not underestimate Tang Ze, and immediately called Lu Chuan, the director of "This Man Is From Earth 2", and asked: "Is the movie finished? Tang Ze completed the filming in 9 days. You have been filming for more than ten days, right?"
”
Lu Chuan said confidently: "This shows that I pay more attention to the movie. I believe that this movie will definitely be better than the original version!"
Yu Dong gestured: "My requirements are not high, the box office should exceed 50 million."
Lu Chuan didn't even blink: "No problem, I think this movie can break 100 million. It has a huge fan base. In the past few days since I became the director of this movie, the number of followers on my blog has increased several times." p>
Seeing Yu Dong nodding, Lu Chuan felt slightly relieved.
He recommended himself as the director of this film.
The reason why he took this project is to prove that he, Lu Chuan, is the most qualified person to become the leader of the new generation of directors.
Before Tang Ze appeared, many people in the film industry favored him.
Even though netizens boast about Zhou Jielun, people know that he is just playing for fun, and few people in the industry really talk about Zhou Jielun's directorial ability.
However, since Tang Ze appeared, even though he only made one online movie, many people regard him as a genius and the first director of the young generation.
He was very dissatisfied with this, especially after watching Karasawa's film, he felt that the MV for such a film that lacked skills was even more difficult to shoot.
Of course, there is another point. He actually appreciates the innovation of the movie theme in "This Man Comes from Earth".
For this reason, he even praised Tang Ze at first, but Tang Ze didn't seem to pay much attention to him as a senior.
Therefore, he wants to use this new subject to shoot for everyone to see.
An excellent director can shoot new things better.
Watching Lu Chuan leave, Yu Dong felt that it was not safe.
Because he had a falling out with Karasawa, he had already planned to use Bo Na's movie to snipe "Don't Stop the Camera!"
He wants Tang Ze to remember a lot and understand that once you enter the industry, you have to learn how to be a good person, and some companies cannot be easily offended.
The movie originally planned to be used to snipe "Don't Stop the Camera!" is "This Man Comes From Earth 2".
Using the sequel to Tang Ze's movie to defeat himself, Yu Dong felt that Tang Ze would definitely learn a profound lesson.
It's just that there are too many uncertainties in the movie, so he has to bring in another movie and use two movies to attack at the same time to feel more at ease.
Looking at the "Certificate of Voting" that was originally scheduled for December 12, 2007, Yu Dong crossed out the date.
The film cost more than 40 million U.S. dollars, and Bona, as a co-investor, contributed a lot of money.
Properly large investment, used to deal with Tang Ze, is equivalent to using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.
With two potential films working together, he didn't believe they could make a small-budget film with a budget of only a few hundred thousand.
The only troublesome thing is that Zhongjing also invested in this movie, and Zhongjing is also the distributor of Karasawa Films.
If he plans to snipe Tangze, will he make Han Sanping unhappy?
But this thought was quickly suppressed.
As the chairman of Bona Group, is he still inferior to a small director who has only made one movie?
If Tang Ze doesn't give him face, Han Sanping won't give him face either, right?
