Chapter 1023 Godard is here

Yu Dong was a little confused about Zhang Ran’s intention, to come and attack him, or something else, so he squeezed out a super ugly smile: “Mr. Zhang, it’s been a long time since we saw you!”

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll just chat with you casually. Now some media predict that the Chinese film market may surpass North America in 2016 and become the world's largest market. What do you think?"

Yu Dong pondered: "Now the theaters have been sinking to third-, fourth- and even fifth- and sixth-tier cities, activate the town youth market, and the growth of moviegoers will continue to be high. At the current development speed, it is possible to surpass North America in 2016."

Zhang Ran nodded slightly: "The Chinese film market is very popular now, with an amazing growth rate, but a large amount of capital pouring into the film circle has also caused chaos in the entire circle. Under the seemingly prosperous surface, there are dangers everywhere!"

Yu Dong sighed and said, "Yes, the film and television industry is too chaotic now, and all monsters and monsters are pouring into the film and television industry. They don't care about what the film industry will be like, and they don't care about what the Chinese film will be like. They just want to make a fortune in the chaos. The country lacks effective supervision, which has led to a continuous emergence of various problems!"

Everyone present was surprised to see Zhang Ran and Yu Dong talking. Century Peak had a very stiff relationship with Wanda and was completely in a state of dying. Yu Dong was a capable general of Wanda Film and Television. Now the two are sitting together and chatting about movies. Many people's first reaction is that I can't read it wrong, right?

After chatting with Yu Dong for a few minutes, Zhang Ran suddenly said with emotion: "You are one of the few people in China who can really calm down and make movies. We could have worked together to make Chinese movies well, but how did we get to this situation today?"

Yu Dong also sighed in his heart. At that time, Yu Dong thought that with the Hong Kong and Beijing resources in his hands, and Wan Da held the second-ranked theater in the country, he could compete with Zhang Ran and Century Peak. But after the war started, he realized that he was outrageously wrong. He smiled bitterly: "This is probably fate!"

Zhang Ran looked at Yu Dong and said seriously: "I have heard a story. A man boarded the Titanic and was awakened by a loud alarm at night. After running to the deck, he found that the Titanic was sinking. He came to the side of the ship, but only saw the dark and cold sea water around him. The people on the ship were evacuating, but women and children left first. There were only two roads in front of him, either sinking with the big ship or jumping off. This man stood on a big ship that was about to sink, and now he had to make a choice. This man made a choice and jumped into the cold sea water. Later, he was lucky to be rescued, and most of the people who jumped the ship later died. I give this story to you, think about it carefully!" Zhang Ran raised his hand and patted Yu Dong's shoulders lightly, then picked up the dining plate and left.

Yu Dong knew that Zhang Ran was telling himself that he would be able to live without Wanda, otherwise he would be buried with Wanda.

In the past two years, Wanda's movies have been suppressed by Century Peak, and they have lost more and made less money. If Yu Dong hadn't held the Hong Kong circle resources in his hand, he would have been driven by Wang Jianlin long ago. In fact, Yu Dong had also thought of leaving Wanda and starting a new job with the Hong Kong circle resources, but doing so would have been hit by Century Peak and Wanda, and he would have died even worse.

Now after hearing Zhang Ran's words, Yu Dong couldn't help but think about this question. If Zhang Ran really would let him go, then leaving Wanda to start the stove again will definitely be better than now. But is Zhang Ran's words true or false?

Yu Dong soon noticed that everyone else was watching him on the scene, with a look of surprise on his face. He immediately reacted and knew that he had been secretly being Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran deliberately chatted with everyone. Zhang Ran asked him to leave Wanda and would definitely reach Wang Jianlin's ears. This was clearly a counter-espionage plan! The damn Zhang Ran, too shameless!

The next morning, Zhang Ran had breakfast, went back to his room to rest for a while, and then went to the Movie Palace to attend the premiere of "Frutville Station". Today, four movies premiered in the Movie Palace, two of which are officially participating units, Japanese director Naomi Kawase's "Second Window", Zhang Ran's "Shocking Sun", and "The Last Subway" in the Movie Palace. In addition, it is a kind of "Frutville Station" that focuses on the unit.

Walking to the first floor lobby, Zhang Ran took a magazine and opened the ratings of the two main competition movies released yesterday. Aberde Lamana Hisako's "Timbucktu" scored 2.6 points, while Mike Lee's "Mr. Turner" scored an amazing high score of 3.6 points.

Zhang Ran was not surprised that Mr. Turner won the high score. This movie is a biopic of British painter John Turner. The story is very simple, but this seemingly simple plot and ordinary life telling it, establishing a relationship between Turner and his family, friends and opponents during his lifetime. He is definitely at the level of a master.

"Frutville Station" premiered in Debussy Hall, which is one of the three main entrances of the Movie Palace and can accommodate 1,068 people. The photos on the pillars of the inner department hall are all photos of directors selected for a kind of attention unit, because it is the main venue for a kind of attention unit.

Zhang Ran entered the Debussy Hall and sat for a few minutes. The crew of "Frutville Station" walked into the hall. When Ryan Coogler saw Zhang Ran, he immediately brought the main creator to say hello to Zhang Ran. The starring Michael B Jordan was very excited to shake hands with Zhang Ran, and said that he was a die-hard fan of Zhang Ran and hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate.

After the crew of "Frootville Station" sat down, the movie began to be screened soon.

"Frutville Station" is a biopic that mainly tells the last day of the life of a black young Oscar. Oscar sold marijuana and was fired because he was often late. He was ready to work hard to start a new life as the new year approaches, but at midnight that day, he was shot and killed by white police at the station.

As a black director, filming movies with such themes is very emotional, and it is especially easy to inject personal emotions into the movie. However, Ryan Coogler filmed very calmly and did not have much comment on the incident. He left his thoughts on this matter to the audience. This short, concise, concise and refined style has achieved the effect of returning to nature.

In fact, Zhang Ran also faced this problem. He was reluctant to bring Zhang Chunru's story to the screen. In addition to the problem of film techniques, there was also emotional problem. As a Chinese, it was difficult to avoid emotions when filming movies involving the Nanjing Massacre. Emotionality happens to be a taboo in making such movies. Once emotional, it is easy to use too much force, causing the entire movie to fall on the surface.

Of course, "Frutville Station" is not without problems. In order to portray the image of Oscars, the director arranged for Oscars to direct fish frying, rescue puppies, and help pregnant women find toilets. These plots have obvious human traces. However, as a new director, the first movie can be filmed at such a level, and Ryan Coogler is absolutely promising.

When the movie ended, the lights of Debussy Hall were on, and the first thing Ryan Coogler did was to look up at Zhang Ran. He wanted to know Zhang Ran's comments on the movie. Zhang Ran didn't say anything, raised his hands and raised two thumbs. Ryan Coogler grinned, and then the main creators of the crew hugged each other tightly.

Zhang Ran came out of Debussy Hall and passed by the Movie Palace, and found a long queue of nearly a kilometer in front of the Movie Palace. What surprised him was that there were many reporters with pink documents queuing in the crowd.

The highest level of media documents for the Cannes Film Festival is white, followed by pink dots and pink. Among them, white documents are top media and film critics, which are equivalent to VIPs. They come in as soon as possible, and there is no queuing problem; pink dots and pink documents are basically not required; while reporters and buyers holding yellow, blue, and black certificates often queue up one or two hours in advance.

However, at this moment, there were at least 500 reporters queuing up with pink documents on site to receive invitation letters. A reporter with pink certificates in the crowd sighed: "Zhang Ran's movies are too high. I didn't expect that when I came to queue up six hours in advance, they would be like this. I wouldn't have watched the premiere of "The Second Window" if I had known it."

The Cannes Film Festival does not sell tickets to the public. If ordinary movie fans want to watch movies, they can only ask for tickets in front of the Movie Palace. At this time, in front of the Movie Palace, there are people who ask for tickets. Those who ask for tickets include gray-haired elderly people and childish children, but most of them are young men and women. They hold signs with the same content on it, "Please Invitation Letter for "Shocking Sun"". They stand in front of the crowd, like statues.

A Chinese journalist came out of the movie palace with a smile with an invitation letter, and a European beauty with an internet celebrity looked welcomed. She expressed in poor English that she was willing to pay any price to ask for an invitation to the premiere of "Scarlet Sun". The meaning is very obvious. As long as the young man gave him a red carpet invitation letter for "Scarlet Sun", he could accompany him.

Such things are not uncommon in Cannes. It is difficult to get invitations to premiere invitations for popular movies. These Internet celebrities who have nothing to do with and have no money can only pay for their bodies.

But what surprised Zhang Ran was that the reporter blushed and said "ah" and then ran away in panic. His embarrassed look made Zhang Ran laugh. Zhang Ran's laughter attracted the attention of many people, and countless gazes looked at him.

Fortunately, after leaving Debussy's Hall, Zhang Ran went to the bathroom to put on makeup, put on a fake beard, and put on sunglasses, but was not recognized. But the female internet celebrity's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Ran, and she walked towards him quickly, so Zhang Ran also ran away in panic.

As time approached, Zhang Ran was a little hungry. He came to a restaurant on Croisset Street, found a seat facing the sun, ordered a classic French meal, and feasted.

Two reporters with pink documents were sitting at the table next to Zhang Ran, one was fat and the other was thin. They discussed their respective arrangements while eating. The thin reporter said: "In the afternoon, I was going to squat at the Martinez Hotel to see if I could squat at Godard. He hasn't arrived in Cannes for more than ten years, and the opportunity is rare!"

The fat reporter was surprised to hear this: "Godard is coming to Cannes? It's impossible! Godard said that the Cannes Film Festival is in chaos, like a circus. When Godard was invited to receive the award on site for the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Awards, he ignored it. How could he come to Cannes?"

The thin reporter said: "Godard is really here, I arrived in Cannes at 11:00 this morning!"

The fat reporter said in confusion: "It's so strange. How could Godard suddenly figure it out and come to Cannes? And his movie "Goodbye Language" premiered on the 20th? How could it come so early?"

The thin reporter shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe something is wrong! Zhang Ran's movie "Scarlet Sun" premiered in the evening. Maybe Godard is here to attend the premiere!"

The fat reporter said firmly: "Impossible. Godard admires Abbas very much. He said that the movie started with Griffith and ended with Abbas. Do you think he made a special trip to attend Abbas' premiere? What's Zhang Ran? He doesn't have such a big face!"

The thin reporter also felt it was impossible: "I just said casually that Godard's pride and arrogance are recognized. How could he make a special trip to Cannes to watch Zhang Ran's movie!"

Zhang Ran touched his face and thought to himself that my face was okay, not very big.
