The next day, media from all over the country gathered in Cannes reported the grand premiere of "Space-Time Warriors", which was almost one-sided and praised, and it can be said that it was full of praise.

The opening of the Cannes movie magazine is the review of "Shi Shi Warriors". The article summarizes the entire movie with concise and powerful comments: "One hundred and forty minutes of film, the perfect unity of art and business. It is not empty, shallow, not frivolous, with connotation, rhythm, and emotion. This is the most epic movie in 2004!

As a science fiction action movie, "Time Warrior" may be slightly inferior to "The Matrix" in terms of theme mining, but it is definitely better than "The Matrix" in terms of narrative rhythm, character portrayal, and especially action scenes.

In 140 minutes, the audience followed Jason's footsteps to reveal mysteries, presenting the world five hundred years later to us. The whole process is reborn with suspense, and the nervous and exciting feeling runs through the whole process, and the plot is linked together. In addition to the exciting plot development and the hot action scenes, the actor's praise also makes people amazed. Jason played by Reeves is frivolous and painful outside, and Zhang Ziyi, who looks cold and hot inside, can be said to be a match made by nature, making the whole movie interesting! "

While singing praises to the movie, the British Empire focused on the actors' performance: "This movie was beyond expectations, and there was no vase in it. Every actor completed his task well. Keanu Reeves, the favorite of Jinsenmei, completed a gorgeous turn, completing the best performance in his entire acting career, and portrayed a character who was heartbroken but kind in his heart vividly, showing his explosive power.

Adrian Brody plays the villain Alexander in the movie. As the youngest Oscar winner, Adrian digs out the inner pain and struggles of the characters, which are real and credible in terms of image and performance. Zhang Ziyi portrays a female policeman who is burdened with inner trauma, acts decisively, and even a bit fierce, in perfect form."

The New York Times directly gave a score of 100, and the article commented: "From the entertainment business point of view, this is a movie that makes people excited and memorable; from the artistic connotation, it is a movie worthy of careful interpretation. The characters are portrayed in a very delicate way, reflecting on the serious consequences of human beings' excessive demands for nature!"

The Los Angeles Times also gave a high score of 90: "The Time Warrior is an outstanding work with a hot scene and profound thoughts. It is hard to imagine that this is the work of a Chinese director. What is even more surprising is that this Chinese director discovered Keanu Reeves' performance ability in the movie, which opened his mind to this stone!"

In addition, the British "Visual and Audio", "Empire", the American "Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety Show" all received positive reviews without exception.

Domestic media are happy to see that Chinese movies can be popular overseas, and domestic readers also love to watch this and sing hymns one after another.

"Young director Zhang Ranyang Wicannes, after the movie premiered, the audience stood up and applauded for twenty minutes!"

"The "Time Warrior" has set off a craze in Cannes, and media from all over the world are still crazy!"

"The premiere of "Space-Time Warriors" has been applauding, and the work of young director Zhang Ran has been well received by Cannes!"

Because the movie star Zhang Ran and the heroine Zhang Jingchu have both gone to Cannes, the crew of "The Aviator" is temporarily on holiday. At this moment, Huang Lei and Ning Hao are drinking tea leisurely.

Huang Lei picked up the newspaper and finished reading the entertainment version of the report on "Space-Time Warriors", sighed: "This kid can really make a big deal. This time he can make such a big deal if he goes to Cannes!"

Ning Hao smiled and said, ""Time Warrior" is a blockbuster. If you don't make any big noise, it would be terrible! What do you think Teacher Zhang is doing now?"

Huang Lei said without thinking: "It must be seen in Cannes Beach. That's the celestial bathhouse, and all the naked girls are there!"

Huang Bo laughed and said, "Teacher Huang Lei is so clear, he must have seen it!"

Huang Lei said seriously: "Nonsense, am I such a person? I am a people's teacher, why am I going to the celestial bath?"

At this moment, on the beach in Cannes, Zhang Ran was sitting in a chair, preparing to accept an exclusive interview with the movie channel "World Movie Journey".

The movie channel has an old relationship with Zhang Ran, and the "World Movie Journey" column is also an old friend of Zhang Ran. Most of the members of the crew also know each other, but the host is the newcomer, Ju Wenpei, and this is the first time we meet.

The recording has not yet begun, Ju Wenpei and Zhang Ran were sitting and chatting: "Director, I don't know if I can help us contact Reeves. We want to give him an exclusive interview."

Zhang Ran felt strange: "You just contact him directly. I think he is willing to be interviewed."

Ju Wenpei said helplessly: "Director, there are so many international big names in Cannes this year, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, etc. Why are there no Chinese media going to do exclusive interviews? Because they have to pay for interviews!"

This was the first time Zhang Ran heard that he had to pay for an interview and asked, "No way, how much does it cost?"

Juwenpe said: "The interview price of Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks costs up to 2,000 euros, Brad Pitt costs 1,500 euros, and Charlize Theron 1,000 euros. The interview with Hollywood big-name round table is usually 1,500 euros, and the time is very short, so it must be set within 15 minutes!"

Zhang Ran was very surprised: "There is such a thing."

Ju Wenpei nodded and said, "Yes, Hollywood big names in the film festival will charge for interviews. If the publisher is willing to pay, it will be a happy thing. If he is unwilling to pay, the media will have to pay for it themselves."

Zhang Ran now understood what Ju Wenpei meant and rolled his eyes: "What do you mean is to let us pay for money and let you interview Reeves?"

Ju Wenpei smiled embarrassedly: "We have limited funds, but if you want to interview Reeves, you can only come and ask you!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand: "Okay, I'll say something to Keanu later!"

After chatting for a while, the interview officially began. Ju Wenpei asked: "Director, this is the first time you have brought a movie to the Cannes Film Festival to participate in the exhibition. How do you feel?"

Zhang Ran said: "It feels good, the atmosphere is very good, but the things are too expensive. A cup of boiling water actually charged me 18 euros, which is simply a robbery of money!"

Ju Wenpei couldn't help laughing: "The media responded strongly after the premiere of "Time and Space Warriors" yesterday. What do you feel when faced with such a long time of applause?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "I'm thinking, it's great. The audience likes this movie very much. It shouldn't be a loss now!"

Ju Wenpei smiled and said, "Why don't you be afraid of the audience saying you are tyrant?"

Zhang Ran said seriously: "What's there to be afraid of? I'm making this movie just to make money!"

Ju Wenpei asked: "Aren't you afraid that everyone will criticize you for being too commercialized, or even say that you are jealous of money?"

Zhang Ran doesn't care: "A mature film market, commercial films must be the mainstream of the market, art films are niche and non-mainstream. For a long time, we have completely reversed. Art films have become mainstream, and commercial films are despised by others. This is not true. On Valentine's Day, you and your boyfriend go to the cinema to watch movies, and it is full of "Blind Mountains". Do you watch "Blind Well"? During the Spring Festival, you take your parents to watch movies, and it's all "The Devils Are Coming" and "Lan Yu" will you go to watch? I believe most of them won't watch it. Most of the audiences pursue entertainment when watching movies. The movies you play are all the kind of movies that make people desperate and extremely dark are equivalent to driving the audience out of the cinema! In the 1990s, Chinese movies took all the three majors, but what was the result? The audience was kicked out of the cinema, and Chinese movies were almost dead!"

Ju Wenpei knew about "Blind Well", but she had never heard of "Blind Mountain", but she did not ask: "Some experts believe that if the film market is too commercial, art films may not have room for survival!"

Zhang Ran sneered at this statement: "On the contrary, only by building the market can art films have greater living space. Speaking of commercial films, is there anyone in the world that can compare with the United States? Who in the world can be more commercial than the United States? Does the United States have no living space for art films? The American directors who won the most awards in the three major film festivals are American directors. If our film market can reach 10 billion yuan, 500 million of these 10 billion belong to art films, which is enough to support many art films. If our market can reach 100 billion yuan, then the market for art films will have 5 billion yuan, and art films can live a very prosperous life. So we should first strengthen the film industry and shoot more mainstream commercial films. As long as the market is built, are we still afraid of the living space for art films?

Zhang Ran picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee, and continued: "I saw a report a few days ago and was very sad. Director Xie Fei announced that if Chinese movies are not reorganized for one day, he will not make movies for one day. Xie Fei is a very excellent director. His decision to make such a decision means that he will never make movies again. There are no ones who do movies who are not disgusted with censorship. In recent years, media reports have been bombarded online and directors jointly wrote a letter. But has it worked? It doesn't work.

The problem with Chinese films is that they reflect our mainstream. Films that promote our culture cannot go out. Things that go out are art films. These films do have a negative impact on China's image. If we have a large number of commercial films imported overseas and export our culture to the world, will the country still worry that niche art films will affect China's image? Therefore, if we want to change the censorship system, we can only make the market first and rely on the market to promote it."

Zhang Ran is a teacher. Once he opens up his conversation, he can't stop and starts to talk endlessly.

Meanwhile, in a large conference room on the outskirts of Cannes, members of the festival jury are gathering together to discuss the ownership of each award.

Quentin sat in the middle and said in a humble tone: "Everyone, the award for Best Actress has been decided. Now let's discuss the candidate for Best Actor. Let me first say my opinion. I suggest that Mr. Bush, the male lead of Fahrenheit 911, play the role of president himself and interpret a complete idiot in his true form!"

The judges present burst into laughter. There are many European and American film circles, especially art movies. **** has always been anti-war, and Bush Jr. who launched the Iraq War is naturally despised by the people. Now, it is popular to be able to hack Bush Jr.!

Tilda Swinton and Quentin were a little out of hand. They almost started arguing at the opening press conference, but at this moment she applauded: "This idea is great. Mr. Bush's performance deserves a trophy for Best Actor!"

Except for Tsui Hark who was drinking coffee leisurely, one of them was like you guys and I was infused with soy sauce, the other judges expressed their support for Quentin as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Jacob, the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, couldn't sit still. It doesn't matter if you want to make big news, but our film festival is in trouble! Just a few days ago, the US government had negotiated with the official film festival through the embassy in France. If Bush is really accused of being a movie hero, things will really be a big deal.

Jacob quickly stood up to put out the fire: "Qentin, everyone, listen to me!" (To be continued.)
