Slap

As the big screen gradually dimmed, the lights in the screening room lit up, but the audience's applause did not stop, but became stronger. Everyone was applauding hard at this moment. Apart from applause, they didn't know what to use to express the shock in their hearts at this moment.

The whole movie is really shocking, especially the final battle spanning six spaces is simply unparalleled!

Many big-produced movies are shocking the scenes and the hot actions. After watching them, the audience is not touched and lacks something to recall. A truly excellent big-produced movie should not only have exciting scenes, but more importantly, it should make people think and remember the content, just like the real moving thing about "The Matrix" is not the cool scenes, but the thinking about reality and virtuality.

In addition to the wonderful drama and cool pictures, "Space-Time Warrior" also has something to be thoughtful. After watching the movie, many people wonder whether there is really a parallel space in this world, and whether the ghost is really a person in another space.

The Chinese reporters at the scene were particularly excited, and they were naturally applauding, and they were pushing harder than anyone else. Deep down in their hearts, they all hope that Chinese movies would be good and that they could see domestic movies shine on foreign lands. They felt a sense of excitement and pride in their hearts!

We can also make such real blockbusters in Chinese movies!

We can also make such science fiction blockbusters in Chinese movies!

We can also make such a movie that is worth remembering, combining artistic and commerciality very perfectly!

At this time, everyone was shocked and proud.

The actors in the crew stood up, stood up with satisfaction and applauded, and hugged each other to celebrate. Last year, when Zhang Ran invited East Asian filmmakers to watch the film, they all watched the movie, but the special effects of the movie were not completed at that time, and they still felt good. Now that they saw the complete version, they were shocked and were lucky to be able to participate in the movie.

Quentin came over with applause and gave Zhang Ran a hug with excitement: "You are a lunatic, but I like lunatics! This is the most unparalleled science fiction action movie I have ever seen. I love this movie so much!"

Zhang Ran responded with a smile: "Thank you, I like your movie too!"

Tsui Hark also walked over with a smile: "It was just right, I really didn't expect that our Chinese directors could also make such a science fiction film!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Tsui Hark!"

Zhang Yimou, Park Chan-woo, and many people who knew Zhang Ran came to congratulate him. The scene in the entire screening room was very lively.

When the crew members of "Space-Time Warriors" walked to the stage and thanked the audience, the applause burst out again, shouts and whistles rang out, and the entire scene became a boiling ocean.

The thunderous applause lasted for nearly twenty minutes before it stopped. During this period, the host tried to calm the audience, but the audience's applause refused to stop. They were expressing their support for the movie in this most direct way. Zhang Ran and the others could only bow to the audience again and again to express their gratitude to the audience.

During the film festival, after the premiere of the movie, there will be press conferences arranged, and the main creators of the movie will accept interviews from the media. For the media, they can get the news they want; for the movie, it is a good thing for mutual benefit for both parties.

There were many reporters attending the press conference of "Time and Space Warriors". The press conference hall on the third floor of the Movie Palace was crowded with people, and even the aisles were full of reporters. Everyone liked this movie so much and hoped to communicate with the main creators of the movie and understand their mental journey.

Zhang Ran's eyes shone with confidence and said slowly: "It took almost two years from the preparations to the present. During this period, we spent a lot of effort and overcame countless difficulties. There were several times when this project faced the risk of premature death, but fortunately we persevered. Seeing that everyone liked this movie, I think all the hard work is worth it!"

Then Lucbesson and the others also spoke separately and briefly talked about their views on the movie.

The crew of "Time Warriors" is full of stars, and Zhang Ran is the least famous. In the movie, both Reeves, Zhang Ziyi, and Braudy have performed extremely well, leaving a deep impression on the audience. However, after the questioning session, nearly half of the reporters' questions were for Zhang Ran.

It’s not that the style of "Space-Time Warrior" is so unique and strong, but that everyone did not expect that Chinese directors could make such cool science fiction films. In the eyes of foreign journalists, China is a big countryside, poor and backward, dirty and messy, but the Chinese people’s ignorant and low-quality image.

This is really not a nonsense. A few years ago, Zhang Yimou made a movie "Speak Well" that reflects urban life. When Zhang Yimou brought the movie to the Venice exhibition, he received a lot of money. Foreign media asked him, is the prison in the film so advanced? Are your prisons all made of straw? In which country was your tall building filmed?

Most foreigners have never been to China. They understand that China can only use video materials. Over the years, the art films that can go out of China are art films, and most of these films reflect the poverty and backward side of China and the extreme human nature. What foreigners see is the poverty and backward side of China, so they will naturally think that China is like in movies.

The same is true for most foreign journalists. Although they are poor and backward China, they have suddenly made a movie that is not inferior to Hollywood's top productions. This is really beyond their expectations, so they want to figure out what's going on.

The first person to ask Zhang Ran was a reporter from the French Le Figaro: "Director Zhang Ran, first of all, I want to express to you my shock to your creativity. The whole movie is simply unexpectedly exciting. But this movie is not much different from a Hollywood movie. I want to ask if it is a Hollywood movie or a Chinese movie?"

This issue is something that many people are concerned about. It is not surprising that Hollywood makes such a movie, but if it is a Chinese movie, it is really worth writing about it!

Zhang Ran was prepared for this and replied: "This is a co-production film. The story is from China. The funds mainly come from China. The producers include Mr. Luc Besson from France. Half of the actors come from North America and half from China. Behind the scenes are teams including Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, etc., which are completely multinational forces. I can tell you clearly that this is a Chinese movie!"

The second reporter stood up and asked, "Director Zhang Ran, I like this movie very much. I believe it will definitely be a great success, and it will definitely attract the attention of Hollywood. I want to ask, have you ever thought about developing in Hollywood?"

Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head: "What did I do in Hollywood? I worked for six major jobs? I worked hard to make a movie, but I didn't even have the editing rights. The movie I finally cut was not what I wanted at all, and it was not what I wanted! Of course, the most important thing is that I am a Chinese, and what I want is a Chinese story. The Chinese people's past, the Chinese people's present, the Chinese people's future, are these things interested in Hollywood? Isn't interested. In Hollywood, I can't make the story I want!"

A reporter immediately asked: "But your movie is very Hollywood, and it is not very different from mainstream Hollywood commercial films in essence. Is it beneficial for Chinese movies to make such Hollywood-style movies?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I really didn't think about this problem when I was filming the movie. I made this movie to make money, because only by making money can I shoot what I want to shoot. But I think if "Time and Space Warrior" is successful, it will definitely be beneficial for Chinese movies. Before 2002, Chinese movies fell to the bottom, with a box office of only 900 million yuan throughout the year, which is not as good as the revenue of a Hollywood movie. Due to too few viewers, the cinema no longer has the ability to operate and has been changed to a dance hall. In 2002, "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou has been released, and the box office has achieved shocking results, which has also allowed countless people to see the potential of the Chinese film market. Now the number of screens in China is spreading on an astonishing scale. According to the current development trend, in 15 years, China will surpass the United States and become the world's largest box office."

When I heard Zhang Ran’s words, the scene was in an uproar!

This is really awesome!

Now the box office in China is more than 100 million US dollars, while the box office in the United States is close to 10 billion in a year, which is a huge difference. Zhang Ran actually said that he surpassed the United States, which is simply a dream!

Zhang Ran knew that the reporters did not believe it and said without any hesitation: "But if we don't have our own big-produced movies and our own top science fiction films and action films, we will definitely not be able to defend this market and can only become the dumping place of Hollywood. It is impossible to succeed in using pure art films and salon movies to fight Hollywood's aircraft carriers, and we should use production to resist production. After the success of "Heroes" by Zhang Yimou, many directors have led to film costume blockbusters. If "Time and Space Warriors" can be successful, it may be able to drive more people to make big-produced science fiction films. This is the benefit of Chinese movies!"

At the same time as the press conference was held, ordinary audiences who participated in the premiere of the movie left messages on the Internet to express their love for the movie.

The Cannes Film Festival does not sell tickets, and there are often very few viewers who can get invitation letters to watch movies. "Space and Space Warriors" is full of stars, and many reporters cannot get tickets, not to mention the audience. There are very few ordinary movie fans who get invitation letters.

Fortunately, "Space and Space Warriors" invited 60 viewers to attend the premiere. These people were selected from six different countries. Before they set off, many netizens left messages to them online, hoping that they would share their feelings about watching the movie with everyone after watching the movie. Therefore, many of these 60 viewers brought their notebooks to Cannes.

When the movie ended, they returned to the hotel, turned on the computer, entered the forums of their respective countries, and described their thoughts after attending the premiere on the Internet.

"I just participated in the premiere of the Cannes Film Festival and watched "Time Warriors". This is an amazing movie, unparalleled and unparalleled. The movie is full of racing, fighting, and all kinds of hot scenes. It's so cool! It's so cool. I've never seen such a handsome action movie!"

"The film is filled with speed, chase, and various action scenes, which makes people excited. Keanu performs extremely well. Not only does he play very well, but he also acts very well in this movie. I burst into tears when I watch several scenes! It can be said that in this movie, Keanu is not a star, but a real actor!"

"I just watched "Space-Time Warriors", which was so cool, completely beyond imagination! But the real charm of this movie is that the director built a cruel and convincing future world, and the whole movie is a perfect fusion of Eastern culture and Western culture!"

Wu Wenbo also wrote down his feelings in Tianya Gossip: "From now on, who dares to say that China cannot make science fiction films? I am anxious with him!" (To be continued.)
