Chapter 74 Xu Zheng joins, Jiǒng series joins the world
"Congratulations! Mr. Tang, "Don't Stop the Camera!" is such a good-looking movie, its success is certain!"
"Congratulations to Director Tang, I wish the movie a great box office success!"
"Although Mr. Tang is young, he is very powerful. I can already predict that a new star is about to rise."
"No, I can only say that thanks to everyone's appreciation, the box office will be determined by fate!"
After coming out of the premiere hall, people kept coming to congratulate Tangze and get close to him.
Except for occasionally taking a break when listening to information from Lao Wu, he had to respond one by one and spend all his time to be polite.
After all, these people are here to support him, so they can’t be neglected.
And the way he spoke to the visitors did not look like a 21-year-old young man at all.
This made many people look at him with admiration and felt that he was neither arrogant nor impetuous and had some magnanimity.
The polite remarks turned into half-truths and half-false compliments.
Of course, the words of cooperation that are mentioned from time to time are the key point.
After making such a box-office-loving movie, Tangze will not only skyrocket to the sky, but he will definitely become famous.
It's not a bad thing to make friends in advance.
It is unknown whether their cooperation is sincere or just casual.
By the time Tangze got free from socializing, it was already very late.
The night is vast and the stars are hanging high.
It's a pity that there is no moon.
"Why haven't you left yet? Xu Zheng and your wife have gone back to the hotel, right?" Tang Ze looked at Xu Zheng and Wang Baoyi strangely.
At this time, except for Lao Wu and Wu Qian who took the initiative to stay, most of the main creative staff of Tianze, including Han Sanping, left.
Xu Zheng smiled and said: "Don't we wait for you? What's the point of sending Lao Wu to see us off?"
"Teachers Li Jiejian and Feng Yuanzheng both said that you are too busy, but I feel that you definitely don't want to share the good things with us!"
"What good thing? Why didn't I know?" Tang Ze asked in confusion.
"A movie!" Xu Zheng said: "If I had known you made such a good comedy, you should have tried to force me to stay with a low salary when I auditioned!"
"If you tell me your shooting ideas, I might be shaken."
Tangze said speechlessly: "I can see it. You don't think "Don't Stop the Camera!" will be a box office hit, so you are eyeing my next movie, right?"
Xu Zheng immediately objected righteously: "Am I that kind of person? I, Xu Zheng, have no interest in movie box office, only a sincere heart for art."
"And based on what I know about you, you will definitely be filming a third movie soon."
"It's so tiring to shoot three movies in less than a year! As a friend, if I don't share some of the pressure with you, am I still a human being?"
Tang Ze shook his head and laughed, and looked at Wang Baozhen: "Baozhen, you also want to participate in my third movie? With the results of "Assembly Number", you should not be short of movies, right?"
Wang Baoyin smiled shyly, but said distressedly: "Director Tang, you don't know, I did accept a lot of movies, but none of the ones I liked were starring in them, so I basically rejected them."
"I don't know why, maybe they think my looks are not good enough?"
"Most of the movies I've starred in are movies with the main theme in exchange for the central government recommending me to attend the Spring Festival Gala."
"At the box office, I don't have much confidence myself."
Tang Ze smiled and answered: "If the box office is not high, the salary will not increase, right?"
Wang Baoqi scratched his head: "Don't laugh at me, Director Tang. I'm from the countryside. I'm used to being poor. I just want to make more money to give back to my hometown!"
"But I promise! If Director Tang invites me to star in your next movie, I'm willing to cut it..."
Having said this, Wang Baoqi hesitated for a moment and then gestured: "One-third of the salary!"
Tang Ze smiled and did not reply to Wang Baoyi for the time being. Instead, he looked at Xu Zheng and said, "You are so optimistic about my movie?"
Xu Zheng nodded and said seriously: "I admit, maybe in your first movie, like most people, I thought you were just lucky enough to shoot a good subject."
"However, after watching "Don't Stop the Camera!" today, I absolutely believe in your director and screenwriting abilities!"
"I think this movie has at least this number!" Xu Zheng pointed out a finger!
"Ten million?"
Xu Zheng shook his head: "No, one hundred million!"
Both Baozhen and Tang Ze were a little surprised, especially Wang Baozhen, who blurted out: "Didn't you estimate that it was only 50 to 60 million before?"
Then I thought this might be a bit rude, so I quickly apologized and shut up.
Tang Ze didn't mind, seeing that Xu Zheng valued his movie so much, and he originally wanted to invite Xu Zheng to join.
When the box office of "Don't Stop the Camera!" ends, Tianze will definitely not be short of money for the time being, so he said:
"I'll give you a choice. Do you want to participate in a movie directed by me, or direct a movie yourself?"
"Ah? My director?" Xu Zheng was caught off guard.
He had always wanted to direct a movie, but he never expected Tang Ze to invest in him.
I came today just to win the role in Karasawa's next movie project in advance. I never thought that there would be unexpected surprises.
"Are you serious?" Xu Zheng asked anxiously and excitedly.
Tangze nodded: "Of course I am serious. If you want to shoot, I will give you the investment immediately after "Don't Stop the Camera!" is finished."
"I wrote a script called "People on the Road", with an investment of at least 7 million, it can definitely help you show your talents!"
"Of course, you know me, there must be a prerequisite!"
Seeing that Tang Ze really wanted to invite him to be the director, Xu Zheng took a few deep breaths, suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "I know, just sign Tianze! There is no problem at all. From now on, Tianze and Director Tang will be my parents!"< /p>
Tang Ze smiled and said: "As for Baoqi, I can't guarantee that I will definitely use you in my new movie. Sometimes it depends on whether you are suitable for the role."
"But whether it's my movie or "On the Road" that Xu Zheng is going to direct, there will always be one in which you will have the chance to star. What do you think?"
Wang Baoyi was naturally satisfied and thanked Tang Ze repeatedly for his commitment.
In fact, he has always felt that his relationship with Tang Ze is not close. Tang Ze is willing to let him play the leading role, which has already given him a lot of face.
It is precisely for this reason that when Tangze invited him to join Tianze, he was very hesitant instead of refusing directly.
Tang Ze knew there was no chance, so he didn't force it.
At this time, Wang Baoyi had always been highly valued in Huayi.
He has appeared in many movies invested by Huayi.
Therefore, Wang Baoyi didn't want to leave the big company Huayi for a movie, so it was normal for him to join a small company like Tianze.
Of course, Tangze will not stop cooperating with the actor just because he refuses to join Tianze.
Another leading actor in "The Lost Journey", he felt that only Wang Baoyuan was the most suitable at the moment, and informed Wang Baoyuan to make him feel at ease.
When Wang Baoyi got the result, he was thankful to have made friends with Tang Ze and thanked Tang Ze again and again.
The matter is almost settled.
Xu Zheng will sign with Tianze in a while. He will have to deal with some current matters and join with a new look.
Bao Qing will inform Hua Yi about starring in Tianze's movie to make arrangements.
Then the three of them went their separate ways.
……
On the way back by car, Tangze immediately took a nap with his eyes closed.
There were too many interactions with people today, which really made him a little tired.
But Wu Qian was full of energy and still looked excited. She said excitedly:
"I think "Don't Stop the Camera!" can break 300 million, what do you think, Karasawa?"
Tang Ze opened his eyes and rolled his eyes at her angrily: "300 million is less, how about we estimate him at 3 billion first?"
He is so small, but he has a big appetite!
300 million, he himself didn’t dare to think about it.
His maximum expectation is around 100 million, and this premise must include all his publicity.
"Uncle, what do you think?" Wu Qian asked Lao Wu who was driving.
Lao Wu said: "Whatever Mr. Tang thinks, I think too!"
"Tch! I just don't dare to estimate it, I'm not confident!" As her first theatrical movie, Wu Qian felt that the box office must be high enough.
At this time, Tang Ze answered the phone and then hung up with a subtle expression.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Old Wu, stop at the corner ahead!"
"Mr. Tang, do you want to get off the car alone?"
"Well..."
"When will I pick you up?"
"Read my news!"
"What about the zero o'clock box office? If you are still chatting then, can I receive the news about Han Sanping?"
“Play it by ear!”
After Tang Ze left, Wu Qian suddenly collapsed on the soft chair in depression: "Tang Ze just answered a call from a woman, and then he got off the car this late at night! What is he going to do?"
Old Wu did not answer Wu Qian, but he knew who the woman was. He had heard her voice more than once.
Tangze is willing to put aside zero box office for that woman, does that mean something?
Should we consider putting her in the right position in Karasawa's harem?
