After leaving the home of the survivor of the Holocaust, Zhang Ran drove to Shiqiu Film and Television Base.

There are many scenes in Zhang Ran's movies during the Nanjing Massacre, which need to be built and restored. Zhang Yimou set up scenes at the Shiqiu Film and Television Base when filming "The Flowers of War". Those scenes are still there and can be used after restoration. However, the scenes of "The Flowers of War" are not enough, and "The Flowers of War" only set up one street. Zhang Ran's movie also has many scenes. In addition to building a few streets, it also needs to build the real scenes of Jinnv and Rabe's house.

In addition, in 1995, Zhang Chunru went to Nanjing to interview survivors of the massacre and searched for the location of the Japanese atrocities. This part of the content is particularly important and can be said to be an important turning point in the whole movie. Therefore, the trip to Nanjing had a great impact on Zhang Chunru. She found that many survivors were from poor families and had difficulty in life, so she felt it was particularly unfair and vowed to seek justice for the victims. From then on, she transformed from an ordinary writer to a fighter and began to rush to call for 30,000 unjust souls in Nanjing. However, most of the survivors Zhang Chunru interviewed had passed away, and most of their houses were demolished, and this part of the building also needed to be rebuilt.

Zhang Ran told the art director Huo Tingxiao that Jinnv and Rabe's family do not require 1% restoration, nor can they restore 1% down, but they must restore at least 9%. Huo Tingxiao also did this requirement and restored the scene at that time as much as possible.

After Zhang Ran came to Shiqiu base, he found that Rabe's house had been built and the Jinnv University building was still under construction, and it would take two or three months to complete. Zhang Ran took out the photos and looked at Rabe's house. He felt that the restoration work was done well. However, he specially invited several elderly people to see it. Everyone said that this was the case at that time, and he was satisfied.

Zhang Ran finished his inspection in Nanjing. As soon as he returned to Lin'an, Zhang Yimou came to him. Zhang Yimou was preparing to make a movie about a stand-in, "Shadow", and wanted to talk to Zhang Ran and hear his views.

As soon as they met, Zhang Ran threw his script to Zhang Yimou, letting him see it and give some advice casually.

After reading the script, Zhang Yimou was shocked: "This script is good, better than "The Flowers of War". The movie has a very high idea, a very large pattern, and a very profound one. I think everyone will think about a question after watching the movie. Things like the Nanjing Massacre were actually forgotten in the West. Why is this happening? He still thinks that even the Nanjing Massacre will be forgotten. So how many things are forgotten and erased? I think to a certain extent, this movie is a continuation of "The Future Apocalypse", which talks about historical reincarnation. This movie is telling us why reincarnation is because we are too forgetful and we are too easy to forget the past!"

When Zhang Ran heard Zhang Yimou say this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, stop talking about something nice, what's the problem?"

Zhang Yimou thought about it and said, "It's really no problem. The whole script can be said to be very conspicuous. If I get such a script, I will wake up in a laugh in my dream. But there is a place that I am more worried."

Zhang Ran immediately said: "Where is it?"

Zhang Yimou said: "After the release of the "The Flowers of War" in the United States, it was criticized a lot. Many media did not criticize the movie itself at all, but from a political perspective. They said that the movie was nationalism and national chauvinism; what I couldn't accept the most was that they said that the movie vilified the Japanese and portrayed Japanese soldiers as wild animals. The attacks on the 193 network, and even famous Western scholars began to publish academic articles to express their doubts about Zhang Chunru's works and motives. Some claimed that she exaggerated the death toll, and some pointed out that the details in her narrative were either unverified or turned to the left with other evidence, and therefore tried their best to insult her. Incredible, many people seemed to think that trying to remember a brutality is more shameful than a brutality itself.

These people who viciously attacked Zhang Chunru were wearing the mask of civilization for academic discussion, neither clamoring wildly nor adding harsh words. They just refused to recognize the authenticity and importance of "Nanjing Massacre". They used cautious and careful words to dissect Zhang Chunru, and finally smashed her, her works, and the truth in the book. Zhang Chunru could not get rid of all this, so she fell into depression and eventually committed suicide.

After writing "Nanjing Requiem", the Chinese writer Ha Jin was also attacked. Because Japan has a close relationship with the United States and has a great influence in the book review industry. However, Ha Jin wrote a documentary and was not as powerful as Zhang Chunru.

In the American film industry, Japanese people have considerable power, and Columbia Pictures is a Sony-owned industry; in the critics, there are a large group of potential supporters of Japan. After Zhang Ran's movie is released, it will definitely be fiercely criticized by these people, and even Japanese forces in the academic world will jump out!

However, Zhang Ran was prepared for this and said firmly: "Zhang Chunru said that **The massacre of Jews is known to everyone in the world, but in the United States, in the West, almost no one knows the fact of the Nanjing Massacre. As a descendant of the Chinese, it is my responsibility to write it. I think it is my director and Chinese who made this movie well. Zhang Chunru was fighting them alone. When "The Flowers of War" was released, we had very little say in the American film and television industry."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran raised his voice and said, "But it's different now! In the United States, we have enough strength to make our own voice. It would be fine if they don't jump out. If they dare to jump out, I will definitely beat them all over the ground for their teeth!"

Zhang Yimou laughed at this: "I am looking forward to the day when the movie is released!"

Just then, the assistant knocked on the door and walked in: "Berlin Film Festival Chairman Diet Cosrick is here."

Zhang Ran thought to himself what he was doing. Did he like "Full-band Blocking Interference" and said, "Please come in!"

Soon the assistant brought Cosrik into the office. Seeing Zhang Ran, Cosrik came up and gave him a hug, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Dear friend, I miss you so much!" Then he turned to Zhang Yimou and said: "Yimou, I miss you so much!"

Zhang Ran found it funny, why did he learn Feng Gong's words? He smiled and praised: "Ditt, you speak Chinese well, when did you learn it?"

Cosrik couldn't understand Chinese, but he knew that Zhang Ran was praising him, and laughed proudly and said in English: "I can speak three Chinese sentences. Dear friend, I miss you so much! Thank you, and goodbye! I only know these three sentences, you should speak English!"

Zhang Ran laughed and said, "Learning Chinese is a trend now. I thought you also followed the trend and learned Chinese!" He looked at Cosrick and asked, "Why did you come to China?"

Kosrik smiled like an old fox: "I heard you are going to make a movie related to Rabe. Rabe is German. I think the movie is the most suitable for premiering in Berlin. I hope to invite your movie to Berlin to participate."

Zhang Yimou's eyes widened when he heard this. He won numerous awards in the 1990s and was very popular among film festivals, but at most he enjoyed the treatment of the film festival chairman picking up the airport. Zhang Ran's new film is still in the preparation stage and will not start filming at the end of this year. Before he could even tell the horoscope, the Berlin Film Festival chairman came to invite him in person. This is too exaggerated!

Zhang Ran said in surprise: "My new film is still in the preparation stage, and the actors have not yet been completely finalized. The film will not start at the end of this year. I will invite me to participate in the competition now. Is it too early?"

At the beginning of this year, Kosrik heard Ulrich Tucker say that he would participate in Zhang Ran's new film and would play Rabe in the movie. Kosrik knew about this movie. When Zhang Ran brought "One Man with Lights and Decoration" to the Berlin Film Festival five years ago, he helped find Rabe's descendants. At that time, he told Zhang Ran that the Berlin Film Festival was booked.

Now when I hear this movie, there will be many Rabe's dramas. Cosrick's movie is not an ordinary biopic, but a very unique movie. Rabe is a German, and the Berlin Film Festival prefers political themes. This movie is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Berlin Film Festival. However, Cosrick also understands that Berlin has no advantage compared to Cannes and Venice; and "One Man's Lights and Decoration", the movie that is considered the best in the new millennium, did not win the Golden Bear Award, which is hard to guarantee that Zhang Ran would not have any ideas.

Cosrick felt that he should win the movie as soon as possible, otherwise when Cannes and Venice took action, Berlin would have no chance. So, as soon as the Berlin Film Festival ended, he rushed to China as soon as possible and sent an invitation to Zhang Ran's new film.

At this time, Cosrick's head was shaking like a rattle: "It's not early at all. If the movie starts, Cannes and Venice will definitely come to you. Dear friend, have you forgotten? I've booked this movie!"

Zhang Ran spread his hands and made a helpless expression: "From the theme of the movie, it is indeed suitable to be in Berlin, but the time is not suitable. We want to go to the Oscar for this movie. It is not that I care about the Oscars, but that I hope to use the influence of the Oscars to let more viewers know about the movie and eventually go to the cinema. We may choose the premiere of the New York Film Festival, because the New York Film Festival is January. After the New York Film Festival, the awards season will start soon, which is more beneficial to hedging the Oscars."

In fact, in terms of publicity effects, going to Venice first, then to Telluride and Toronto is the best choice. But this movie is nearly 2 minutes long and will be filmed in China, the United States and Germany, and the shooting cycle is scheduled to be six months. If you go to Venice, then the later time will be only about three months. In terms of time, it is too fast. Of course, if the movie can be finished in advance and finished in four or five months, it is still possible to go to Venice.

Cosrick heard that Zhang Ran was preparing to go to the New York Film Festival to give him a breath. If Zhang Ran decided to go to Venice, then Berlin would have no chance, because a movie was shortlisted for the competition unit of the Class A Film Festival, so he could not go to another Class A competition unit. The New York Film Festival is not a Class A film festival, and it will not affect the film being shortlisted for Berlin.

Cosrick said: "Going to New York to show will not affect the Berlin Film Festival. Rabe is a German, so it is very meaningful to put it in the Berlin screening."

Zhang Ran felt that this was reasonable. The film was really meaningful when it was screened in Berlin. At that time, Rabe's descendants could be invited to the scene to watch the movie together, and immediately said: "Okay, I will bring the crew's main creators to Berlin by then."

At the same time, at Capital International Airport, Wang Sichong was sitting in his private plane, waiting for the plane to take off. He looked at the gray sky outside the window and was stunned, knowing that he might not be able to come back for several years.
