"Director Zhang, what are your plans next?" asked Zou Wenhuai.
“First, I’ll edit The Piano Tuner, then write a few scripts for my classmates to shoot movies, so they can practice their skills first.
As for my new movie, I’ll talk about it in the second half of the year. Let me think about it. I probably won’t make another award-winning movie. I’ll try a different genre.
I was exhausted in the second half of last year, so I need a break." Zhang Qiurui didn't try to trick Jiang Zhiqiang and Zou Wenhuai; she really hadn't decided what to shoot for her new film.
"Whether it's Director Zhang or one of Director Zhang's classmates making a movie, Golden Harvest will contribute money and effort," said Zou Wenhuai.
"Me too. Director Zhang, when will the movie "Love" be released?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked when he thought of this.
"Since the film has won the Best Director and Best Actress awards at the Berlin Film Festival, and has generated buzz and publicity, we're releasing it in the next two days.
"Love" is a rather profound film, so it probably won't do much at the box office." Zhang Qiurui was mentally prepared.
This kind of art film generally has poor box office results. Even if it wins international awards, it may not necessarily achieve huge commercial success.
But Zhang Qiurui didn't care much about it. He had sold the overseas copyright and made the most money.
“Now whatever money is earned at the box office is pure profit.
Then we'll release it in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan in three days. Then we'll have Director Zhang, Hu Feng, Luo Lan, and Director Li go on a few TV stations, record programs, and promote the film. I'll have to trouble you, Director Zhang, for the next few days." Zou Wenhuai hadn't imagined how high the box office would be.
He has already earned the big money, and he doesn't care about the box office. Now this movie is a co-production of Golden Harvest and Broad Sky Films, and it won a big prize at the Berlin Film Festival. Currently, they are promoting Golden Harvest.
Everything else is secondary.
Zou Wenhuai knew that the success of this movie did not lie in the box office figures, but more in the international reputation it won for Golden Harvest.
In the future, when they sell Golden Harvest's films internationally, they can use this reputation to claim that Golden Harvest films have won numerous international awards, thereby attracting more international attention and cooperation opportunities, and being able to sell the films at a good price.
