Chapter 193 Warm Applause

Zhou Xu also thought so. He felt that this was an opportunity, so he arrived as promised.≤, this was the most important concert he had experienced in his life. He had been applauding since he stepped onto the stage. He was ready to show his strengths.

Unfortunately, he was wrong, he was very wrong!

When Zhou Xu sat in front of the drum set, waiting for the performance to begin, Chen Wei walked up to him and said coldly, "Do you think I am an idiot? I know you sued it." Zhou Xu was instantly as if he fell into an ice cave, and his whole body was chilled.

The audience was stunned. They realized that Zhou Xu was deceived by Chen Wei. Chen Wei's purpose was to destroy Zhou Xu, because before he went on stage, he told the band that the audience was full of music masters, and they could not forget them. Once the performance was broken, it would be completely finished.

At this time, the performance began. Zhou Xu did not have the correct score in his hand and could not perform normally. This made him feel nervous, nervous, panicked, and at a loss. Finally, after Chen Wei's ridicule, "It seems that you no longer have this talent", he left in shame.

Zhou Xu returned to the backstage in a daze, feeling as if he was dead. He knew that he was finished. Just as his father comforted him, the sound of the dance newspaper sounded in his ears. The next song to be performed was "whiplash", which he was familiar with. Zhou Xu knew that this was his only chance to fight back, and without any hesitation, he appeared on the stage again. This time, he had no scruples.

"Listen to my tip!" This is Zhou Xu's instructions to the band members when he came on stage.

When Zhou Xu's drum sounded, the entire musical rhythm revolved around the drum sound, and he dominated the audience.

Chen Wei once said that he had never found his own Charlie Parker. Now he looked at Zhou Xu who was waving the drumsticks with all his might. His crazy speed and perfect rhythm conquered him.

Chen Wei realized that this was the Charlie Parker he had been looking for. Perhaps Zhou Xu would hate him and take revenge on him, but Chen Wei didn't care. His dream was to cultivate a Charlie Parker. He felt that he had succeeded and inspired Zhou Xu's potential. Zhou Xu completed the transformation.

The hatred disappeared, Chen Wei's eyes were kind and warm, just like a real teacher watching his most satisfied student. He cooperated with Zhou Xu's performance and tried to make the whole performance more perfect.

Zhou Xu felt the kindness in Chen Wei's eyes. He knew that Chen Wei was convinced and he won, so he couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, the two looked at each other and smiled, and all the hatred disappeared in this smile. Now they just completed the performance as two excellent musicians. They took all their strength and performed with all their hearts, pushing the entire performance to a climax.

Just as Zhou Xu's drums lifted the music, the screen went dark and the movie ended.

The subtitles rolled quickly on the big screen. Before the lights in the cinema were lit, the scene was still dark. But the entire screening room was terriblely quiet, no one spoke, and no one stood up. Everyone was immersed in the plot. They looked at the screen stupidly.

Slap

After a brief silence, someone took the lead in applauding, and then more and more people applauded, and the applause became louder and louder. The audience used applause to vent the passion in their hearts, and the warm applause echoed in the cinema like storm waves, almost overturning the entire cinema.

All the audience were very excited and looked very excited. The movie had no gorgeous visual effects, no magnificent scenes, only exciting music and unremitting efforts for dreams. The whole movie had a shocking power.

Domestic reporters remembered that when the movie was launched, Zhang Ran said that "The Breaking Drummer" was a chicken-blooded film. At that time, many people did not particularly understand this concept. Now they all understand it. This film is simply too refreshing. The self-abuse effort makes people excited. The final ending is unconventional, and the passionate music makes people ignite.

At this time, many reporters had only one idea in their minds. If this is called a bad movie, then what is a good movie? If this is a bad review, then what kind of movie will be like a good review?

There were only two people in the whole scene who couldn't be happy. Zhang Zhiliang and Yu Minghai. Zhang Zhiliang always felt that Zhang Ran's story lacked depth and lacked deep exploration of the characters' inner hearts. He still thought so now, but this film was really exciting and beautiful. Even he felt his blood boiling. This made Zhang Zhiliang feel the pressure. He whispered: "Mr. Yu, you can't let this movie be released!"

Yu Minghai knew that Zhang Ran's movie quality must be good, and he was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Tokyo Film Festival, but he never dreamed that the movie would be so good.

From a perspective that it is easy to see, "The Breaking Drummer" is much higher than Zhang Zhiliang's films. Two movies with similar content are released at the end of the year, and "The Bloody Notes" is dead.

Yu Minghai glanced at Zhang Ran, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, this movie has a bad view of the three views. The teacher wants to ruin the students and even attack them. This one alone can sentence them to death!"

Yoji Yamada did not like the story of "The Breaking Drummer". The story was too dramatic for him, but the rhythm, lighting and lens use of the movie were very good, reminding him of some of Kurosawa Akira's films. He felt that if Zhang Ran had been born a few years ago, if he was a Japanese, maybe Kurosawa Akira would not have written a letter to Take Kitano and entrust the Japanese movie to Take Kitano, but to Zhang Ran. Unfortunately, he is Chinese!

The Japanese film market is very bad now. Hollywood movies account for 70% of the box office of the entire market. There are many directors who can make art films, but there are too few directors who can make good commercial films. The situation in Chinese films also seems to be very bad, but with such young people, Chinese films have hope!

Yamada Yoji found Zhang Ran and encouraged him: "The movie was very well made. If Director Kurosawa was there, he would definitely like your movie. Come on!" After that, Yamada Yoji shook hands with Feng Yuan and others again, and fully affirmed their performance.

Feng Yuan and the others were very happy. Yamada Yoji is one of the few Japanese film masters who are still alive. It is a supreme honor to be recognized by him for his performance.

The audience at the scene did not leave, and the applause continued to ring. Yamada Yoji didn't say much, patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder and signaled them to go on stage, while the audience was still waiting for them.

Amid the audience's shouts and applause, Zhang Ran and the leading actors walked onto the stage and bowed to everyone to express their gratitude. When the audience saw Zhang Ran and others bow, they clapped harder, and shouts came one after another.

The thunderous applause lasted for more than ten minutes, and Zhang Ran and the others bowed three times in front and back. The applause slowly came to an end. The audience expressed their support for the movie in this most direct and simple way.

Zhang Ran took the microphone specially prepared by the staff, looked around the audience in the back row of the cinema, and said with a smile: "I would like to thank you very much for your support for "Explosive Drummer". These days our movie has been questioned and said that some judges criticized our movie. I did not take these words to heart because my movie was not made for the judges, but for the audience. The audience's reaction is what I really value! Your applause is the greatest affirmation of us, thank you everyone!"

The smile on Zhang Ran’s face is as bright as the afternoon sun, showing an enjoyable expression. This is the greatest value of filming a movie. As long as the audience likes it, it is the greatest happiness for the director.

At the subsequent press conference, almost all the problems were concentrated towards Zhang Ran alone, and even Chou Jielun was almost ignored by reporters.

Zhang Ran was not overwhelmed by the atmosphere on the scene, saying what should be said and not saying a word. However, he still shared many interesting things during the filming process, which made the reporters on the scene laugh.

The reporters dug up a lot of gossip they wanted, but they didn't bother Zhang Ran. This was the premiere and the stage for film promotion, so the reporters also began to turn their attention to several starring actors.

A reporter asked: "Jie Lun, this is your first time acting in a movie, but it was unexpectedly good. How did you do it?"

Zhou Jielun was very happy to hear that the reporters gave such high evaluations of his performance, but he did not take all the credit. He said sincerely: "Before the filming started, Teacher Feng Yuanzai taught me basic performance skills for half a month. But there was still a problem when the filming was halfway through, Zhou Xu and Chen Wei. I couldn't act that strong emotion. Director Zhang Ran specially conducted special training in order to make me perform that emotion. In order to stimulate my emotions, he deliberately angered me and asked me to beat him! As a result, he was beaten to the point where he was beaten to the point of being bruised! It was all the credit for both of them that I could act to this level!"

Although Jay Chou said it in a joking tone, the reporters at the scene, whether they are from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or other regions, could hear that this was not a joke. In order to make the actors perform the most realistic effect, some directors will adopt some extreme techniques, such as Kurosawa's war scene in "Spider's Nest City" in order to create a sense of reality, they actually found professional archers to shoot the starring Toshiro Mifune with real arrows.

Jay Chou did not describe the entire process in detail, and it was even a joke, but everyone found footnotes for the outstanding performance of the whole movie. A director abandoned the director's dignity in order to be true to the reality of the performance and was willing to be beaten to the point of being beaten by the actors. With such a director, how could the performance of the movie be bad?

If Hu Jun won the Best Actor six months ago, he thanked Zhang Ran very much in an interview, and everyone thought Hu Jun was modest. But now Feng Yuan was stunned by the same guidance as Zhang Ran very much. Zhou Jielun, a newcomer who did not know how to perform at all, could have such an outstanding performance, and no one doubted him.

The media interview took a full hour to end. As the media left, Zhang Ran and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"The audience likes our movie very much. This time the reporter will definitely not write randomly!" Zhang Jingchu was not dissatisfied with being neglected at the press conference, but instead seemed particularly happy.

Zhou Jielun rubbed his temples and nodded in agreement. Today's scene is so lively that media reporters cannot be lying. Feng Yuan was stunned with a smile on his face. Although he didn't say anything, Zhang Jingchu also agreed with his opinion.

Zhang Ran also hopes that the media will report it well, but there is always a shadow in his heart. Yu Minghai's words are like a thorn, piercing him into his heart, making him unable to be completely happy.

When Zhang Ran and the others walked out of the cinema, dozens of viewers were waiting outside. When they saw Zhang Ran and the others coming out, they surrounded them and surrounded them in the middle. They first kept applauding, and then handed the signature book to everyone.

After signing for the fans, it was already past ten o'clock when he returned to the hotel. The audience's reaction made Zhang Ran very happy. "The Breaking Drummer" cannot be sold at any price in Europe and the United States, mainly relying on East Asia and Southeast Asia. Now the audience's reaction is enthusiastic, which means that the copyright in Japan should be sold smoothly.
