That was because Chinese people were getting richer.
After China's economy took off, it was accompanied by the willingness of the Chinese people to make money.
They were willing to pay for tickets, willing to pay for the admission of their beloved actors, and willing to fork out the price of two bowls of noodles to support the legal film industry in China.
That year was also called the first year of Qin Guan's five-year development plan.
That year, Qin Guan had received a lot of invitations, a script that struck while the iron was hot, sponsors had increased their prices, and his company's business had been booming.
Qin Guan was in pain and happiness at the same time.
Being nominated for two films at the same film festival at the same time was really something to offend people.
At the request of the sponsors, Qin Guan decided to walk alone on the red carpet.
In order to be fair and just, I'm sorry, two directors, don't think about working together with me.
Actually, "Ke Ke Xi Li" and "If You Love", which had been released in 2004, should not have been nominated for the Tokyo Film Festival.
However, the people who applied for the award all had some selfish motives in their hearts.
Compared to the Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Tokyo Film Festival was just an entertainment event for Chinese films.
The only international 9A film festival in Asia was held in Tokyo.
Although it had been held since 1985, its influence in Asia was no less than that of the top three European film festivals.
However, in terms of influence, it was not inferior to the three major European film festivals. The film directors were very concerned about the results of the Tokyo Film Festival.
Even if the Tokyo Film Festival was held at a different time than other film festivals, it would be a bit suspicious if it was only held at the end of the year.
However, the Busan Film Festival had not risen to prominence yet. In 2006, China's domestic film festivals had not yet reached the international level, so it was no exaggeration to call it the leading award in Asia.
Perhaps due to the impact of the neighboring Korean entertainment industry, even the Japanese entertainment industry, which had more prominent characters and higher standards of post-production, felt a deep sense of crisis.
In order not to be caught up with and maintain the high standards of the Tokyo Film Festival, the organizers of the Tokyo Film Festival had spent a lot of money.
In order to make the atmosphere on the red carpet more lively, the media from all over the world could appreciate the charm of the Tokyo Film Festival.
One week before the opening ceremony, the Roppongi Hotel in Tokyo started to dress up.
By the time Qin Guan came out of the hotel, it was already dark in winter. The neon lights were shining brightly on the night, making it look strangely beautiful.
There was a large sign with cartoon characters on it, so the car could follow the round arrows and find the correct direction.
The red carpet in front of him was crowded with people and twinkling lights. Before Qin Guan could even see the edge of the carpet, he saw the other protagonists already on the red carpet.
If Qin Guan's vision was correct, he would have to walk the red carpet with them.
Suddenly, Qin Guan didn't want to get out of the car. He even had an impulse to ask the driver to turn around and drive them back to the hotel.
Wang, who was sitting next to him, pulled his sleeve and pointed at the sponsor's sign. "The red carpet is only 20 meters long. It will only take you a few minutes to get there at your normal pace."
"The interview will take no more than five minutes, and the media will take no more than three minutes."
"Then you can enter the main hall of the Tokyo Film Festival. Our sponsors will pay us an extra $100,000 for this small process."
"Are you going to walk the red carpet or not?"
"Yes!"
Qin Guan was willing to walk the red carpet at the cost of his dignity.
Actually, Qin Guan had misunderstood the Tokyo Film Festival. Qin Guan had been arranged to sit at the front of the red carpet.
He had become the leading figure of the festival.
The organizers of the Tokyo Film Festival had to give preferential treatment to the pride of Asian actors.
Also, they were afraid that no heavyweight could match Qin Guan's status.
For example, if an unknown movie star walked in front of Qin Guan and behind him, people would think that Tokyo was insulting Qin Guan or that they didn't take him seriously.
Therefore, the organizing committee of the Tokyo Film Festival racked their brains when it came to arranging the order of the red carpet.
Finally, the Japanese found some famous stars in the international film industry to accompany him on the red carpet.
The organizers of the Tokyo Film Festival had a hard time. Strictly speaking, those stars were more famous than Qin Guan.
When Qin Guan's car stopped in front of the red carpet, the Ultraman turned around and waited for Qin Guan to get out of the car.
It was a rare occasion for a virtual character to walk the red carpet with a real star at a 9A film festival.
Only in Tokyo, the country that produced world-famous manga characters, would such a scene appear.
That was right. Ultraman, the superhero who had appeared on the big screen and in comics, was the one the organizers had arranged for him to walk on the red carpet.
In order to lighten the atmosphere on the red carpet, Ultraman, who was halfway in front, had already launched two invincible light waves.
At that moment, the door of Qin Guan's car was pulled open from the inside. Wang hid herself in the car and whispered to Qin Guan, "Let's meet in the hall later. Are you tired? Think of the Red Army's 25,000-mile march. Let's go! "
Qin Guan got out of the car and got used to the flashing lights. Then he closed the door.
The car drove away without hesitation, leaving Qin Guan alone to deal with the media.
The shining Ultraman was making a gesture to Qin Guan, who had just stepped on the red carpet.
Qin Guan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of shame at the sight.
He was like a small monster that was about to be defeated by the man in front of him.
After all, this was a red carpet at a film festival, not a carnival. The foreign media had finally found a normal person. How could they let Qin Guan go?
