After Lu Yang attended the film festival cocktail party, he returned home and was approaching a little. He walked into the room lightly, turned on the computer, sat on the chair, and recalled what happened today.

At the celebration party, Lu Yang chatted with Han Sanping for a long time. Han Sanping had watched his "The Blind Cinema" and also admired the movie very much and was willing to invest in "The Embroidered Spring Knife". Han Shanping said that from the perspective of commercial films, "The Embroidered Spring Knife" has many flaws. The Film Bureau has recently planned to arrange some directors to study at Dingfeng Entertainment. He hopes that Lu Yang will also go, and hopes that Lu Yang will start making movies after studying in Hollywood.

The script of "Embroidered Spring Sword" has been written for more than a year, but I still couldn't find any investment. Lu Yang did not expect that after signing up for the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival, he not only attracted investment, but also arranged to study in Hollywood. It was like a dream. Lu Yang remembered that a buddy who entered the top ten told him that his script was rejected by several companies before, and those companies came at the venture capital meeting. Then he found him and said he was very interested, but in fact it was the original script.

For many film companies, how could the script Zhang Ran handled is bad?

The venture capital meeting to participate in the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is really right!

Lu Yang opened Weibo and the page was refreshed. He was suddenly stunned. Weibo seemed to be flooded with the screen, all of which were almost the same sentence. Weibo was from Ning Hao's, and then replied by many directors.

At this moment, Lu Yang's heart paused slightly, and then it beat even more violently; at the same time, a warm current flowed through his body with the blood, making his blood boil. He suddenly remembered a sentence that Xie Hang said at the closing ceremony. There were so many people like him working hard for Chinese movies here, and he felt that he was not lonely, and he was really not lonely at all!

Ning Hao’s Weibo is extremely simple, with only one sentence: “I, Ning Hao is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!”

Behind Ning Hao's Weibo post, followed by a long list of directors' replies, their replies were almost the same: "I, Feng Xiaogang is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Ding Sheng is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Urshan is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Guo Zijian is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Yang Qing is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

...

In addition to famous directors like Ning Hao and others, many young directors who participated in the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival, as well as young directors who did not participate in the film festival, also stood up and shouted out their inner voices.

"I, Xin Yukun is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Tian Yusheng is a commercial director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Zhang Zipei is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Guo Fan is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Wang Shichao is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

...

Lu Yang took a deep breath. He has been investing in "The Embroidered Spring Sword" for more than a year. Many people who knew him heard that they were going to make commercial movies. Before the movie came out, they said, "Oh, Lu Yang has fallen! He actually wants to make commercial movies! So, young directors like him dare not say that I like to make commercial movies, because if they say it, they will be looked down upon.

Lu Yang felt that Zhang Ran was very right. Hitchcock, John Ford, and Kurosawa were all commercial directors, and even Kubrick's movies were mostly commercial movies. Isn't their movies artistic?

What’s particularly funny is that many people look down on commercial films, but they like to talk about "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive". In fact, these two movies are both standard commercial films and are written according to the standard model of Hollywood popular dramas. The screenwriters of these two movies are both Rei, and Rei started out by studying Hollywood genre films.

Commercial movies are not derogatory words, commercial bad movies are derogatory words, commercial movies can carry many advanced elements! This is the case with Hitchcock and their movies, and so is the case with Zhang Ran’s movies! This is the case with "Farewell My Concubine", "Living", and the same is true for "The Aviator" and "One Man with Lights and Decoration"!

More than 20 years ago, director Zhang Huaxun was attacked by critics after filming "The Mysterious Buddha" and "The Wulin Zhi". He once asked angrily, is it considered exploration to shoot entertainment films? No one answered his questions, only more fierce criticisms, and in the end he had to change to shoot art films.

But now it is different. The flag bearer of Chinese films is Zhang Ran. Now he stood up and shouted that I am proud of commercial films. Then Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, and many directors who like commercial films all stood up and shouted out their own voices.

More than 40 years ago, the American film industry was in a trough, and a large number of filmmakers in the Golden Age announced their retirement due to the recession of the film industry. Under this circumstance, the new generation of filmmakers led by Coppola, the young George Lucas, Scorsese, Spielberg and others set off a vigorous revolution. In the end, the old Hollywood disappeared, and the new Hollywood has since appeared on the stage of history. It was this revolution that allowed Hollywood to get out of the predicament and quickly swept the whole world. To this day, it still dominates the world's film market and has a huge influence on the development of the film industry.

Now that Chinese films have their own leading brother, all the young filmmakers around him have stood up, and this time, everyone’s revolutionary target is the outdated concept that has ruled Chinese films for more than 30 years. "People are proud of making artistic films and ashamed of making commercial films."

This is a revolution! It is a revolution in the concept of discriminating against commercial films!

Lu Yang knew that the concept of "pride in making artistic films and shame in making commercial films" has dominated Chinese films for nearly 30 years. It is not only hidden in the film theory community, but also in the hearts of various departments such as film editors, directors, and photographers. It is impossible to reverse it in a short period of time. But at least after today, young directors like him will no longer feel that making commercial films are inferior. Facing anyone, I can say that I like to make commercial films, and I am proud of it!

Even Zhang Ran stood up and shouted loudly, I am proud of commercial films! What else can I be afraid of!

With a passionate mood, Lu Yang clicked on Weibo and typed out the same words as everyone else: "I, Lu Yang is a commercial film director! I am proud of this!"

The headlines of the domestic media entertainment version of the next morning were all reported by Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival. Many media mentioned Zhang Ran's words in the reports, but they did not comment on it.

Only "China Screen" published an article "Zhang Ran: A Flag of Chinese Film", which reads: "At the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony in 2008, Director Xie Jin entrusted Chinese films to Zhang Ran. At that time, many people were quite suspicious of this and thought that Zhang Ran was too young and could not bear such a burden. But now, Director Xie Jin's choice is really correct. The Asian Film Academy Award founded by Zhang Ran has become the most popular film award in Asia; the Asian Film Academy has become the cradle of genre film directors; the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival he founded this year not only attracted the attention of the whole world, but young directors such as Lu Yang and Tian Yusheng are also attracting the attention of the industry through the venture capital platform of the film festival..."

The article concluded with the following: "There are a large number of outstanding young filmmakers gathered around Zhang Ran. This modern film army, which is mainly based on the elites of the national film industry and the peak of the century, is the elite army that competes with Hollywood movies in the world; and Zhang Ran, who created all this, deserves to be the banner of Chinese films!"

What surprised many people was that the critics kept silent about this, and no one spoke at all, as if they hadn't seen it. In fact, it was not that they wanted to remain silent, but that they had no way to deal with Zhang Ran.

If they said that Zhang Ran’s films were not artistic, academic and critical actors like Bodeville and Nick James would definitely not agree, and the judges of the Oscars and the three major film festivals would not agree. Just like the critics critics criticized Zhang Ran’s “One Man’s Lights and Decoration” a few years ago, the film not only won the Silver Bear, but also won the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, and was even hailed as the Best Film of the New Century. Domestic film critics and critics have all been beaten to death.

If you talk about theory with Zhang Ran, it would be a complete insult to self-report. Zhang Ran’s research on film theory is really not comparable to them. Now, when the critics write articles, they still pull Bazan out, and Bazan is a figure from fifty or sixty years ago. They have little knowledge of the latest film theories. If they talk about Zhang Ran’s theory, they will definitely expose their shortcomings.

For Zhang Ran, they can’t be too harsh on art or theory. They can only be unable to provoke Zhang Ran and they just pretend that they didn’t see Zhang Ran’s words. But they are still quite dissatisfied with this. If Zhang Ran can’t be too harsh on Zhang Ran, can’t we still be unable to provoke your little brother? Let’s wait and see, and scold them to death after their movie comes out!

Zhang Ran was quite disappointed with this. These people were too cowardly and didn’t even have the courage to come out to debate!

After the film festival was successfully concluded, Zhang Ran did not give himself a vacation and soon began to re-edit the "Future Apocalypse". Since Zhang Ran was about to launch the director's editing version after the movie was released, and the director's editing version was dozens of minutes longer than the release version, these extra shots were made and there was no need to re-made special effects. However, even so, it would take time, because in addition to editing, the movie's soundtrack also needs to be adjusted accordingly.

It has been more than twenty days since "The Apocalypse of the Future" was officially released. Time was tight. Zhang Ran plunged into the editing room and devoted himself to the heavy editing. He had no time to pay attention to the dynamics of the outside world. He didn't know that a storm had arrived, so he received a call from Gao Jun directly.

"Mr. Zhang." Gao Jun's voice trembled, "What happened, something big happened!

Zhang Ran was shocked. Gao Jun said something big, it must be big. He felt a strong sense of uneasiness surged into his heart and asked, "What happened?"

Gao Jun said anxiously: "Someone broke the news online that the source of the "Future Apocalypse" was leaked by insiders of the General Administration."

Zhang Ran frowned. "The Future Apocalypse" was indeed leaked from the General Administration. The General Administration is also investigating it now, but the result has not yet come out. Century Peak did not make this news public, and he did not want anyone interested to attack the General Administration in the name of "The Future Apocalypse". However, even if this news is revealed, it is not a big deal, it is a fact. He couldn't help but say, "This is not a big deal, right?"

Gao Jun quickly said: "After this news spread, the Internet was infuriated. Many netizens cursed the General Administration indignation, and then someone secretly provoked your movie fans to attack the official website of the General Administration. More than ten minutes ago, the official website of the General Administration was hacked, and the General Administration's computer ticketing system was also attacked. The attacker claimed to be a fan of you and "The Apocalypse of the Future"!"

"What!" Hearing this, Zhang Ran's face changed instantly. He suddenly realized that the other party attacked the film festival's ticketing system and film source leaked, not to prevent the film festival from proceeding. After the matter fermented, the attack on the official website and ticketing system of the General Administration in the name of fans was their real purpose!

Fan behavior, idols pay for it! This move is so sinister and sinister!
