Before the album was released, Xu Zheng finished handling his affairs and officially joined Tianze.
Tang Ze took him to understand the structure of Fan Tianze and went to meet several other directors.
Now Tianze has content in three sections: movies, games, and music, and the momentum is not small.
It is completely possible to carry out film, television and music in multiple fields at the same time and sign artists from different fields.
Not to mention, Youku, a powerful online propaganda tool, is also in Tianze’s hands.
Against any big company, Tianze at least has the capital to fight back.
As for director Tianze, when Xu Zheng learned about the identities and backgrounds of Wen Yishi, Guo Fan and Yang Yu at first, he was very confused.
A few months ago, Tianze was just a small company with little spare capital, right?
At that time, how could Tang Ze dare to sign such a director with almost no future, and then go to great lengths to train him?
However, when he saw the quality of the short films shot by the three of them, he was a little surprised: "Are you sure you have never made any works before, and you have only made short films in the past four or five months?"
Guo Fan said strangely: "What's wrong? That's it! I used to do graphic design, how could I have the chance to make a film?"
He sighed: "Oh, I shot more than ten short films in five months, but none of them satisfied Director Tang. I actually already know that my talent is average, and I plan to work hard for a few years!"
Hearing this, Wen Yishi and Yang Yu also nodded in agreement.
Especially Yang Yu, although Tang Ze praised him.
But he also knew how bad China’s animation level was.
If only compared with domestic players, if Karasawa signs him, he will probably only be disappointed.
Therefore, he must set his sights abroad, which is also his current goal.
The performance of several people was mediocre, but Xu Zheng didn't think so, and his expression was a little constipated.
Should we say that Tang Ze misled people, or that he knew people well?
Or is it just that Guo Fan and the other two are too pretentious?
These three people are definitely geniuses. They have only trained for such a short period of time and their level is so high.
It’s hard to say how good action movies are, but if we say that the feature films they make now have a box office of over 10 million.
He thinks there must be no problem.
Anyway, in his opinion, within a few years, the names of the three of them will be added to the list of Huaguo's billion-dollar directors.
So what did Tang Ze instill in them that made them feel that their photography was average?
Then he thought of his experience filming "This Man Comes from Earth" with Tang Ze and shook his head.
Most likely, being with a monster like Karasawa, my confidence was shattered!
In today's China, no one can compare with Tang Zebi.
And I saw three people who were more talented than him, but worked harder than him.
Xu Zheng no longer considered himself a good person, and even said something that made Tang Ze dumbfounded:
"Director Tang, after coming to Tianze, I have a clear understanding of my abilities. I am worried that I will not be able to complete the task you entrusted me with.
"So I decided that I will spend as much time as possible to polish "The Man on the Road". Even if it takes a year, I will make it perfect."
"When I have free time during this period, I also want to shoot more short films to hone my skills."
Xu Zheng is willing to study and improve himself, so Tang Ze will naturally not refuse.
He was given the same treatment as Guo Fan and the other three.
Later, Old Wu hurriedly came to inform him: "Mr. Tang, Minister Zhao Dongming has arrived. Do you want to see him now?"
"Who? Minister?"
Then Tang Ze reacted: "So fast? The notice came out yesterday, right?"
He didn't waste any time and immediately went to see Zhao Dongming.
……
"Minister Zhao, you came so quickly. Tianze didn't even have time to prepare for the ceremony?" Tang Ze and Zhao Dongming shook hands.
Zhao Dongming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't call me by your name. In terms of position, I, the assistant director, am just your subordinate."
"Besides, what kind of ceremony are you doing? Let's not be so bureaucratic. We are working together to film "Welcome to the Capital" as colleagues."
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Then, Tang Ze discussed the MV with Zhao Dongming.
For example, who will be the lead singer, who will be participating, specific location, start date, etc.
In fact, the preparation process is similar to that of a movie.
Since the higher authorities have probably already decided that "The Capital Welcomes You" will be the title song of the Olympic Games.
So as long as Mr. Tang, the chief director, gives the order, the MV can start shooting at any time.
But Zhao Dongming knew that Tang Ze was busy, so he didn't rush him.
It means that it only needs to be completed before April 30.
Tang Ze estimates that his plan is to start shooting at the end of March.
Zhao Dongming knew that Tang Ze knew what he was thinking, so he chatted with Tang Ze:
"Xiao Tang, you don't know that many people above are staring at you now!"
Tang Ze said with embarrassment: "Minister Zhao, don't sound so scary. I didn't commit any crime, right? Why are you staring at me?"
"Hahaha!" Zhao Dongming laughed a few times, "Xiao Tang, you are famous but don't know it!"
"Outstanding young people like you who are willing to return to the country and contribute are valuable to the country!"
"In particular, cultural export is an urgent matter, and the country has never fallen behind. Unfortunately, there has been little progress."
"And progress in this area ultimately depends on you, art creators."
Tang Ze waved his hand quickly: "I am just a director. How can I be able to take on the important task of cultural export?"
"I think that if the country becomes stronger in the future, it will be easy to do so!"
Zhao Dongming sighed: "That's what I say, but for now, we have to admit that it is much worse than the West in many aspects."
"Well, I won't talk to you young people about difficulties anymore. We should always maintain a positive attitude."
Zhao Dongming smiled and joked: "In short, whether it is music or movies, you can write or shoot. I, my subordinate, can be considered one of your supporters."
Tang Zelian said "I dare not take it" and maintained a humble attitude.
After that, Zhao Dongming chatted with Tang Ze for a while, left his contact information and left.
Karasawa also put aside the MV for the time being and returned to the album.
He asked Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, how are you preparing for the album?"
Lao Wu vowed: "We are fully prepared to ensure that once released, the CD will be immediately sold to all parts of the Asia-Pacific region, and even to some counties and villages."
"What about channels? We only sold 150,000 copies of the previous five songs. There must be channel limitations, right?"
Lao Wu immediately said: "Mr. Tang, you don't need to worry, although our channels have not been established."
"But when I heard that you were going to release an album, Warner, Universal, and Rolling Stone were all willing to lend their channels to Tianze!"
"They also said that channel fees are calculated based on the lowest price."
Tangze nodded with satisfaction. The movie was a hit, which also helped partially in terms of music.
In order to pave the way for this album, he prepared for more than two months and even became a music company for this purpose.
Since the establishment of Tianze Music, the company’s employees have almost always acted around this album.
For example, recording CDs, cooperating with Warner, Universal, Rolling Stone and other companies to expand distribution channels, etc.
So far, Karasawa has been very courageous and recorded more than 1 million discs for this album.
This is not just Tangze's own judgment, the heads of several major music companies are also very optimistic about this album.
Nowadays, physical albums are declining more and more. Except for a few singers such as Zhou Jielun, few people can sell more than one million albums.
Dare to calculate sales in millions, which is enough to show the excellent quality of this album.
Even Haidisi, which is gradually declining, is even willing to directly release 1.5 million records at a low cost, showing full sincerity.
It's just that Karasawa wants to strengthen his own company, and other record companies can only jointly distribute.
Soon after, Tang Ze contacted Youku and High-tech News Agency and began to arrange relevant recommendations and reports.
As soon as the news is released, it will attract the attention of most people who follow Karasawa and help the box office of "Don't Stop the Camera!" to take off.
In addition, Tangze also contacted Shanghai, Yangshi and other radio stations to ensure that the songs can be successfully listed on major music channels and charts after the album is released.
Tangze is now well-known, and the quality of his songs is really good, so several major radio stations have agreed.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the final release.
