Chapter 748 finally completed

After the crew gathered in the mountain city, Zhang Ran convened a group of people to have dinner. After drinking two rounds of wine, Zhang Ran looked at everyone and said, "Our movie is a test movie, and the things we test are particularly difficult. If you have any good suggestions or ideas, you can put forward them. As long as it is a good thing, we can try it!"

The movie remake began soon. Since it was a remake, the content remained unchanged, and it was just an adjustment of the shooting method. The entire shooting was considered familiar.

However, since Zhang Ran has new ideas from time to time during the filming process, many of the contents are filmed repeatedly, and even many scenes outside the remake plan are remakes, so the filming progress of the movie is relatively slow.

Last time, Zhang Jingchu was too immersed in the role and eventually suffered from hysterical aphasia. This time, Zhang Ran paid great attention to this problem. Every night before going to bed, he would sit in front of Zhang Jingchu, hold Zhang Jingchu's hand, and ask her to say chant fifty times: "Xiaoyu is only a part of my body, but she did not become Xiaoyu, but she is never me."

However, after a week of filming the movie, Zhang Ran had to temporarily put down his work and returned to Peking.

This year marks the second recruitment of the Asian Film Academy, and its major has expanded to five, including film production, visual effects, makeup design, sound design, and script writing. As the dean of the Asian Film Academy, Zhang Ran cannot be absent for an important event such as the opening ceremony.

At the opening ceremony, Zhang Ran gave an intense speech and announced a vision that when he was in his junior year, the school would support the director's department students to shoot a short film similar to "I Love You in Paris", and each person would shoot a 10-minute short film, a total of 120 minutes, named "Peking Story". The film will be released nationwide.

After the opening ceremony, Zhang Ran did not rest and rushed back to the mountain city without stopping to continue the filming of "One Person's Lights and Decoration".

On the night of September 12, Zhang Ran was sitting on the bed to supervise Zhang Jingchu to strengthen his psychological defense. His phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Yimou's phone call. He pressed his forehead and said, "The Venice Film Festival is over today! Zhang Yimou should have won the big prize. If it is an ordinary prize, he would not call me at this time. He answered the phone immediately and said with a smile: "Old man, congratulations on winning the Golden Lion and becoming the Triple Crown of Venice!"

Zhang Ran guessed correctly, Zhang Yimou won the Golden Lion Award.

The movie "Love" Zhang Yimou adopts a realistic style similar to "Qiu Ju's lawsuit", calm and cruel. Coupled with the outstanding performances of two old artists, Jin Yaqin and Zhu Xu, the movie won a lot of prizes as soon as it debuted in Venice. The film critic gave the film the highest score of 1 in the film festival magazine. "Love" did not disappoint everyone, and finally defeated "Lebanon" and won the Golden Lion Award.

Zhang Yimou won the Golden Lion Award twice for "Qiu Ju" in 1992 and "No One Left" in 1999. Ten years later, he won the Golden Lion Award for the third time for "Love", and became the first director in the world to win the Golden Lion Award three times.

Zhang Yimou, who achieved the Golden Lion Triple Crown King, was a little excited, but was still very modest: "Thank you, Zhang Ran! The award this time is mainly due to your script. Such a good script will not be bad even if it is a second-rate director!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "No, if you ask me to take a photo, there will be a problem!"

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "You are too modest. You can challenge multi-part montages. What else can you not shoot? How is your movie shot?"

Zhang Ran said: "It's a sloppy. I'm learning from Wong Kar-wai now. I'll shoot the scene repeatedly and shoot all the tricks I can think of, and finally choose the most suitable one from it."

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he said with emotion: "I really envy you, you can shoot the scene you want as you wish!"

Zhang Ran laughed and said, "I envy you! The Venetian Golden Lions Triple Crown is the only one in the world! It's time to win the Oscars next. With your level and the theme of "Love", as long as there are no mistakes in public relations, the best foreign language film of the Oscar can be said to be easy to win!"

Zhang Yimou laughed: "You can't say that. This year's "White Ribbon" in Cannes and "Sad Milk" in Berlin are all very strong, and there may be dark horses that can be found at any time. It's really hard to say that you win an Oscar."

Zhang Ran remembers that the one who won the Best Foreign Language Film for the Oscar next year was Argentina's "The Mysterious Eyes". This is indeed a very awesome movie, but the director's level is not as good as Zhang Yimou, and the theme of "Love" is more pleasing. In addition, Zhang Yimou has been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film for the Oscars three times, but he returned in a defeat three times, and was able to get a lot of sympathy votes. It is not a big problem to win "The Mysterious Eyes".

Zhang Ran said confidently: "Don't worry, this year's Tingfeng Entertainment will make every effort to win the Oscars. We will make every effort to win the Oscars. It is almost impossible for the Oscars to win the award without PR. So, you can adjust your state and prepare for the Oscars. This is very tiring!"

Oscar was Zhang Yimou's knot. He really wanted to win it, so he immediately said: "I'll follow your arrangement!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran let out a light breath. If there is no three years of hard work in the opening, the multi-voice montage will be like a distant star to me, out of reach! I snatch your opening ceremony, then I will help you win the Oscar and use the Little Golden Man as compensation!

In the following days, Zhang Ran continued to shoot "One Man with Lights and Decoration", continued to explore audio-visual language, and worked hard to present the almost lost multi-part montage. It was not until September 19 that the filming of the movie was completed.

After the filming, Zhang Ran began to focus on editing, not hearing about the matter outside the window, and did not even participate in the premiere of "The Founding of the Country" on the 22nd.

After a week of editing, the final version of the movie "One Man's Lights and Decoration" has finally been completed.

Zhang Ran himself is quite satisfied with the movie. Now this version is indeed much better than the previous version. The movie has indeed achieved its own high level, and the completion of multi-part montage is also quite high.

Hollywood attaches great importance to audiences. After the initial cut version is completed, film companies often ask special research companies to recruit audiences for trial screening, survey and analyze audience reactions to the film. After the trial screening, film companies will adjust the film based on the audience's feedback, such as re-cutting the ending that is more in line with the audience's expectations, deleting plots that the audience hates, and even re-shooting scenes that the audience cannot understand. Therefore, for Hollywood blockbusters, re-shooting is a fixed process, and each movie has a special re-shooting period.

After the editing of "One Man's Lights and Decoration" was completed, Zhang Ran also held a trial again, but the members participating in the trial were still directors such as Ning Hao. In addition, the actors of the crew, as well as Zhang Jingchu and Yu Feihong, also came.

Yu Feihong is also a director and has a professional understanding of movies. She realized the power of this movie before she watched it for a long time. Her use of various montages was perfect, and her use of sound was superb. The style of the whole movie was quite different from that of Zhang Ran's previous works. If Zhang Ran's previous movies were close to Hollywood, then this movie was closer to European movies.

If you are looking for exciting audiences, you may be disappointed.

The movie is cold and has a depressing style, but it also has extreme compassion for human nature and the world.

Yu Feihong knew that Zhang Jingchu didn't speak for a long time and even suffered from hysterical aphasia for this movie. She believed that Zhang Jingchu's performance must be excellent. When she watched the full movie, she found that Zhang Jingchu's performance was better than she thought, and that was not a performance at all. Zhang Jingchu made herself really become Xiao Yu!

This is a performance that can be compared with Gong Li's Qiu Ju and Maggie Cheung's Ruan Lingyu. She believes that in the next year, Zhang Jing will sweep the major awards at the beginning and will be permanently engraved in the history of Chinese films!

Yu Feihong is very happy for her friends, but as an actor, she is a little envious. Being able to play a role like Xiao Yu is a dream for any actor!

Ning Hao and the others watched "One Man's Lights and Decoration" a month ago. When they watched it again, they found that the movie changed a lot. The current version uses more sound skills, and these sound skills greatly expand the space outside the picture to show the characters' helplessness and loneliness in reality. Therefore, the temperament of the whole movie is more depressing, gloomy, and a sense of desolation.

When it comes to the space of a movie, many people think that the space of a movie is the picture space on the screen. In fact, in addition to the visible pictures on the movie, there is also an invisible space, which is the space outside the picture.

The space outside the picture frame is the space outside the picture frame, which the audience cannot see, but can feel, is an imaginary space. Why can't the audience see it? Because the director did not shoot, or it was not completely shot. For example, in the short film "The Tuner", the tuner has a long inner monologue shot when tuning at the old woman's home. In the camera, the protagonist is tuned in the foreground, while the heroine is in the back room, the audience cannot see her, but through her shadow changes, the audience can feel her action of tidying up the protagonist's coat. The director constructs an outdoor space through the shadow of the old woman.

The current version of "One Person Decoration with Lights" has a lot of use of off-screen spaces, and Zhang Ran's main method of building off-screen spaces is sound. He constructs off-screen spaces through off-screen dialogue, ambient sounds and music, which gives the movie a strong sense of reality.

"One Man's Lights and Decoration" has an excellent opening and is a masterpiece. When I watched it last time, the ending was a little weaker, which seemed a bit terrible. Now the movie has an ending that can match it. Aesthetically, the movie is almost perfect and impeccable in any aspect!

After the movie screening ended, Ning Hao and the others stood up together and applauded warmly.

Ning Hao seemed very excited and grabbed Zhang Ran's hand to congratulate: "Teacher Zhang, congratulations! It's so strong and wonderful! This is my movie in recent years. It can be said to be a great movie. Whether it is the director, photographer, or actor, it may be perfect, it is simply amazing!"

Ding Sheng said with a chorus: "It can be compared with the Godfather. It is also a multi-part montage, and it is equally outstanding! When I watched it last time, the ending was a little weaker, but the ending is as outstanding as the opening scene, it is so amazing!"

Li Xuejian smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhang Ran: "Congratulations, Zhang Ran! This is really a good movie!"

"Thank you, Teacher Li!" Zhang Ran and Li Xuejian's hands were tightly clasped, and an excited smile appeared on their faces.

Before Zhang Ran's excitement had passed, just that night, he answered Anna Wintour's call: "Robin, yesterday Musea Prada told me that due to the failed listing of the Prada Group, they lack operating funds. The Prada family hopes to find a new shareholder. The Asian market is the largest market for luxury goods. Therefore, they hope that the shareholder is better to be an Asian, which will help Prada expand its business in the Asian region. I wonder if you are interested in Prada?"

Zhang Ran waited for this day for many years, and finally waited for this day. How could he miss it? He immediately said: "I'm interested, of course I'm interested!"
