Although the audience's evaluations are polarized, "One Person Decoration" is a highly anticipated movie after all. Within seven hours from the official release at 6 pm to 1 am the next day, the movie hit a box office of 16.51 million nationwide, which set a new high on the premiere of Zhang Ran's movie.

Such rapid box office data blinded countless people's eyes. Even Wang Zhonglei had to sigh that Zhang Ran's appeal in China is an invincible existence. Except for Zhou Xingchi, no director can compete with him.

However, while lamenting that Zhang Ran’s appeal is invincible, the media also gave their comments on the movie, which is almost consistent with the audience’s reaction. The media’s comments are also polarized. Those who like it blow the movie to the sky, and those who don’t like it put the movie on the ground.

"'One person has a light to make a color'" has a strong metaphor. This is a movie about loneliness. Loneliness is a normal life, a kind of eternal and innate nature, like a maggot attached to bones.'One person' is not just Xiaoyu, but everyone present.'Light to make a color to make a color to transcend loneliness. Like the wheat field watcher who is guarding the young people's impulse to get close, the three young people are Xiaoyu, Yu Xinliang and Steel Slag try to get rid of loneliness and seek each other's comfort. This effort will lead to disastrous consequences. Zhang Ran lit a lamp at the end of the movie, hoping to happily soothe the loneliness of everyone. This is a big step Zhang Ran took from a commercial director to a film master. As for whether the audience can understand it, it depends on how deep they invest in the story." "Beiping Daily"

"The first time I saw an audience in a cinema who could not bear it and left the movie. The first part of "One Man's Lights and Decoration" was too dull, especially the part of Zhang Jingchu. There was no sound, no music, and no subtitles. It was a torture for any audience. Zhang Ran was too confident and overestimated the audience's ability to bear it. A few months ago, Zhang Ran said that Wang Xiaoshuai's movie was very self-satisfied, but he endured the self-satisfied in this movie, and he completely threw away the things that the audience liked the most and told stories honestly!" "New Crystal News"

"One Person Decoration" is too unvisitable and too unentertainable. Zhang Ran underestimated the tolerance of the audience who watched the film by holding the police and gangster movies. This is a serious art film that is almost completely in line with the current situation of Chinese films. Before that, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have more or less challenged the audience's viewing habits, such as "Hero" and "Wuji", but they are not as extreme and ambitious as Zhang Ran, completely disregarding ordinary audiences. Zhang Yimou and others have failed, and Zhang Ran will definitely encounter a more tragic failure than "Hero" and "Wuji"!" "Southern Metropolis Daily"

"Zhang Ran expressed his emotional theme in "One Person Decoration" and was lonely! It was everywhere in the flow of light and shadow: in the eyes that were less than lonely, in the tired expression of Lao Huang, in the cold murderous aura of steel slag... Also in the bleak wind, in the misty clouds, in the swaying lanterns, and even in the entire universe, it was filled with its breath... I think Zhang Ran was also lonely, and he also compromised in the second half of the movie, because he was afraid that the audience would not understand it!" Wenhui Daily

Zhang Ran rarely reads film reviews. There are no truly professional film critics in China and there are also really high-quality film reviews. Whether it is media film reviews or so-called film critics, the level of film reviews is not very good. Most of the so-called film reviews can only be called after-viewing.

These so-called film reviews are basically the same pattern, which simply retells the story, pulls the clues of the story, analyzes the characters, and then praises the movie or criticizes it. Whether it is to the audience or the director, such film reviews have little meaning.

In Zhang Ran's opinion, truly good film reviews are the bridge between film creators and audiences. The audience's various doubts during viewing can find the answers in the excellent film reviews of film critics. In addition to talking about human nature and topics, they should also talk about movie language, lighting and color, editing, and photography...

But there are almost no such valuable film reviews in the country!

In the morning, Zhang Ran took the crew members of "One Man with Lights and Decoration" to accept an exclusive interview with NetEase. Now Zhang Ran is the second shareholder of NetEase, so he must take care of it. NetEase reporters are average and they are basically all kinds of gossip about movies. However, Zhang Ran and the others are all old foxes, and they are still talking about these priceless questions.

During the interview, Zhang Jingchu took out her mobile phone to flip through the media's comments on the movie. Seeing Zhang Ran scolding fiercely, she smiled and said it to Zhang Ran, saying it to her, let Zhang Ran listen to the voice of the people. Zhang Ran smiled and fought back: "Wait until your "All Nights in the World" is filmed, I will take a treble to read it in your ears."

NetEase reporters were very surprised by this. The style of the painting was completely inconsistent with the imagination of Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu. They asked Hu Jun in a low voice: "Do they usually do this?"

Hu Jun laughed and said, "They have always been like this. When they are fine, they often make fun of each other!"

After lunch, the crew members sat and chatted. Zhang Jingchu reached out and poked Zhang Ran in the arm, handed the phone to him, and said with a smile: "You read this article!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes: "Why did you scold me?"

Zhang Ran accepted his phone and saw that the article was written by a netizen named Qingcheng Wuji. The title was "One Person Decoration" and Zhang Ran's self-satisfied mental illness work". He thought, he scolded him so hard that he slowly looked at it. The article wrote: "When he returned from the premiere of "One Person Decoration", his biggest feeling was his heart's fatigue. This is really not a good movie, full of boring plots, logically chaotic plots, flashy pictures. In short, the movie is almost useless except for the picture.

More than 20 minutes into the movie, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu were lingering on the screen. A male audience around him actually fell asleep and started snoring like thunder. This was the first time I saw a male audience sleeping when they were watching passionate scenes. The male audience was ruthlessly pushed by his girlfriend and whispered, "You can sleep, but don't make a sound!"

During the movie watching, I had a strong feeling that this was not a normal work, but a highly confident and unwilling viewer to the sky. I made an extremely narcissistic mental work. The whole movie was a daydream that Zhang Ran had been praised as a god and fantasized about becoming a movie master after he was praised as a god. Zhang Ran's self-excited life completely throughout the entire movie, imitating the black screen of "2001 Roaming Space" and imitating the pull shots of "The Godfather". It gives people the feeling that it is said, you see, I am different from those low-end domestic films. This is art, and it is so stylish that it can be shot like this. But in fact, these shots are meaningless, but instead make the movie extremely artificial. Such scenes of artificially setting up viewing obstacles are everywhere in the movie, especially Zhang Jingchu's line, which has no soundtrack, no subtitles, and is lazily and verbose, which is completely a torture to the audience.

I know that Zhang Ran did this to make the movie look more artistic and avant-garde, but it was really too deliberate and too artificial. Zhang Ran forgot that the ultimate goal of the movie was to see a story, and a good story that touched the hearts was the key to the quality of the movie. After watching "One Man's Lights and Decoration", I couldn't believe that this was Zhang Ran's movie, "Aviator" and "Explosive Drummer" were such good movies! Why did "One Man's Lights and Decoration" make this? I was thinking that Zhang Ran was really praised too highly, the young director who was most likely to become a master, Bergman's successor, and the new flag bearer of Chinese films. All these honors were added to him, so that he could forget himself, forget the audience, and could not come down from the altar.

Zhang Ran has really stayed on the altar for a long time, and regarded himself as a movie master. He also acted in a lofty manner when making movies, wanted to get rid of low-level interests and draw a line with the audience, completely forgot that the reason why he was praised on the altar was because of his down-to-earth spirit, his love for movies, and his great respect for the audience.

As a former fan of Zhang Ran, I really hope that he can return to himself and tell a good story with his heart, rather than pursue the so-called master temperament. The works of real masters are to tell the audience a simple story calmly, rather than to make it fancy, tell the whole world, hey, look at me as a master!"

After reading the article, Zhang Ran felt a little uncomfortable. He always attached great importance to the audience and never thought of drawing a clear line with the audience. He always believed that any art would lose its vitality if it was separated from the audience.

Zhang Ran did not regard himself as a master, nor did he completely ignore the audience's feelings. If he was really a director who ignored the audience's self-interest, the second half of the movie would not be what he is now. Jia Zhangke said that the second half of the movie was too dramatic.

He was a little sad that he was accused of ignoring the audience!

When Zhang Jingchu saw Zhang Ran frowning slightly and her face was a little dark. She knew that he was a little unhappy, so she held his hand and said, "It's okay, we all know that the movie is very good. Didn't director Zhang Yimou say that last night? When "To Live" first came out, there was a lot of scolding in the circle. No one of them said it was a classic now, but now it has become a classic!"

Zhang Ran smiled at Zhang Jingchu. Yes, there are still many people who can understand him. He reached out and took Zhang Jingchu into his arms, kissed her head, and smiled and said, "I'm not that fragile. I know what I'm doing!"

Before filming "One Man's Lights and Decoration", Zhang Ran knew that there would definitely be a lot of criticism, but he insisted on filming. This is not willfulness, but he knew very well that as a teacher, he had to give students a glass of water, and the teacher had to have a bucket of water. This is actually the same as being a director.

Now is the Internet era. Audiences can access too many movies and their tastes change very quickly. As directors, they must constantly learn and come up with new things to meet the audience's unpredictable needs.

Why is Nolan so popular as a commercial director? It is because he constantly challenges himself and brings out new things. His debut work "Following" is a crime film; "Memory Fragments" is a thriller; "Deadly Magic" plays a classical game; "Batman Prequel" trilogy is a purely commercial superhero movie; "Inception" combines suspense science fiction, with a plot of twists and turns, which is confusing and relishable; "Interstellar" is based on space travel and black hole theory, and every movie has something new in it.

If a director only has three tricks, when the audience gets tired of your three tricks, he will abandon you.

Zhang Ran does not want to repeat himself, nor does he want to be eliminated by the audience. He wants to experiment with more techniques to give his films more possibilities; at the same time, as a director, Zhang Ran also has his own artistic pursuits, and he hopes to go further on the road of art, and even leave a name in film history. No matter from any aspect, this experiment is necessary.

Faced with the accusation of ignoring the audience, Zhang Ran wanted to explain, but he could forget it. Any explanation was pale and powerless. After the "Future Revelation" came out, the facts would tell everything.

No matter what others say, in Zhang Ran’s opinion, as an experimental movie, "One Person Decoration" perfectly reproduces multi-part montage, which is enough!.
