"Zhang Ran, I have bad news for you, the pirated version of "Time and Space Warrior" has come out!" Zhang Ran didn't be happy for long before he received a call from Han Shanping.

Zhang Ran knew that piracy would definitely be unstoppable, but he was not surprised: "Is it a high-definition version, or a gun version?"

Han Shanping said: "It's a gun version, and it was secretly filmed in the theater." ”

Zhang Ran said: "The gun version will affect the box office, but the impact is not too big, the key is that the high-definition version cannot flow out." ”

Han Shanping has made great efforts to crack down on piracy, and the Ministry of Culture has issued a special red-headed article, asking relevant departments to take the fight against piracy of "Time and Space Warriors" as the focus of their work in the near future, and have formulated reward measures for whistleblowing.

But he didn't expect that in just three days, the pirated version still came out: "Zhang Ran, you have a lot of ghost ideas, is there any way to prevent the HD version from leaking?"

Zhang Ran was very helpless about this, and there was really nothing he could do: "I can't help it." There are two main reasons for the rampant piracy in our country, one is that watching movies is too expensive and belongs to high consumption. Another reason is that the facilities of the cinema are so poor, watching a movie at home is almost the same as going to the cinema, so why should the audience spend this money?"

Han Shanping sighed and said, "You're right, the problem of piracy is really difficult to solve. ”

However, the appearance of piracy did not affect Zhang Ran's mood, which is expected, and now he only hopes that the high-definition version will be released a few days later, so that the impact on the box office will be smaller.

It was also on this day that almost all newspapers and magazines had entertainment editions of the news of "Time Warrior". Each title is extremely exaggerated, and some media even put the hat of "King of the Box Office" on Zhang Ran's head.

On the Internet, netizens praised Zhang Ran even more, everyone has seen the trailer, and they have also seen the evaluation of the media, and they know that the movie is very popular, but they really walked into the cinema to watch the movie, and they were still shocked.

They saw the visual effects that are not inferior to Hollywood blockbusters, and what is even more rare is that there are a large number of Chinese elements in the movie, and these Chinese elements are completely integrated into the movie and serve the story.

Although "Time and Space Warrior" is a commercial film, it involves Eastern and Western cultures, and movies involving culture often have different interpretations. There is a lot of discussion about "Time and Space Warrior" on the Internet, and there are various interpretations, including many mind-blowing interpretations.

"Time and Space Warrior" is actually a Buddhist story, and the deep moral that the film wants to reveal about Jason's upbringing is that everyone has Buddha nature, and only because of delusional attachment to the six realms of reincarnation, as long as you attain Bodhi, you can become a Buddha. Jason went through countless tribulations, and finally he came to his senses, and he said to Zhang Jingchu, I am not as good as hell who goes to hell, so he gained supernatural powers and became a Buddha!"

"Time Warrior has six spaces, symbolizing the six realms of reincarnation. Jason: The real world they live in symbolizes humanity, and the space where Maple Leaf City is located is particularly beautiful, very elegant, and looks like the way of heaven. The space where the Japanese are only given a few shots, the picture is relatively gloomy, it looks dark, it should be the animal world, the Japanese are all animals!"

……

Not only netizens, the media, but even many insiders have stood up and started discussing this movie. However, insiders look at the problem from a different angle than ordinary netizens, they pay more attention to the significance of this movie to the entire film industry.

Director Chen Guoxin applauded Zhang Ran in an interview with Jason, believing that "Time Warrior" is the highest level of Chinese blockbusters: ""Time Warrior has pointed out a correct path for Chinese commercial films. That is, the mainstream values are expressed in the film, and there is a clear distinction between black and white in justice, good and evil, and ordinary people can accept this value. The core values of commercial films must meet the receptivity of most people and the emotional needs of most people. After all, film is popular art, and it is necessary to let the public have a hope for humanity and the future, pursue warmth and warmth, and mainstream values express an ideal, which everyone is willing to accept, not so dark and negative!"

Nortel's teacher Su Mu published an article in the newspaper and sang praises to "Time and Space Warrior": ""Time and Space Warrior" is a mainstream Chinese film and represents a direction for the development of Chinese films. When I was in film school, I made it clear to my students many times that the mainstream of cinema should be mainstream cinema. Mainstream movies are simply commercial films, and they can be exchanged for box office. Film is a kind of industrial production, and only with the box office can the film be invested and the film survive. Film is a form, commercial films are the mainstream, and outside the mainstream are those art films and exploration films.

The biggest dilemma for Chinese films now is that mainstream films are doing poorly. We can't lower our requirements for films just because it's a mainstream commercial film, not an art film and an exploration film. In Hollywood, they have people to complete the story outline and ideas, people to make up plot lines, plot points, and even write lines. The work is very meticulous. The whole operation of "Time Soldier" is safe and operates according to the Hollywood model, which shows that it is completely feasible for us to learn from Hollywood!"

Of course, in addition to praise, there are also many doubts.

The first movie schedule, because "Time and Space Warrior" is a good box office, and the Xiangjiang movies "Judo Dragon and Tiger List", "Kung Fu Dad", the Korean comedy "My Savage Sister", and the American epic blockbuster "Troy" are all tragic, with a total box office of only three or four hundred thousand per day, and only one or two symbolic screenings are scheduled, and even many theaters simply take them offline, all of which are "Time and Space Warriors".

"Judo Dragon and Tiger List" and "Kung Fu Dad" are distributed by Bona, and Bona's boss Yu Dong jumped out and criticized the film schedule of "Time and Space Warrior" on his blog: "The schedule of "Time and Space Warrior" is too outrageous, has a strong monopoly, and cuts off the back road of other films. Such a monopoly is unfair to other films in the same schedule. This is not the choice of the market and the audience at all, because the audience who goes to the cinema to watch the film may not all go to "Time and Space Warrior". It's possible for the audience to watch the movie 2 or 3 times in a month, do you want them to watch "Time Warrior" 3 times?"

These words aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhang Ran's fans, and netizen Zhang Erque Yu Dong's blog replied: "People open movies to make money, why should movies without box office have more movie theaters." Is this fair to the cinema? Have time to complain here, or think about how to make a good movie. When you make a good movie, the film schedule will naturally be high!"

"I've watched it three times, so why can't I watch it three times?"

"I've watched it five times......"

At first, many netizens were refuting Yu Dong's point of view, but in the back, they all said how many times they had watched it, and the content was uniform, and Yu Dong almost vomited blood. I'm so miserable in scheduling, you guys are still disgusting, it's too much!

However, Yu Dong didn't have anything to do with netizens, he originally wanted to hype up, but he didn't expect to be smashed by netizens, so he reluctantly deleted the content of the blog and closed the blog, out of sight and out of mind.

As Zhang Ran's old rival, "Xinjing Daily" has always taken it as its responsibility to criticize Zhang Ran. This time, they published an article questioning the identity of "Time Warrior" as a domestic film. The article reads: "Now many people are cheering for the success of "Time Warrior", as if this film can save Chinese films. What I want to say is that such a film takes place in the United States, starring a Hollywood star, and speaks English, can such a film be considered a domestic film? Is this film promoting Chinese culture or American culture? What is the help of Chinese films?"

This article is very inflammatory, and before that, some people on the Internet questioned why a Chinese science fiction story should be put in the United States? After the article was published, the gossip at the end of the world immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Netizen "Lan Chengde" is the famous Zhang Hei, and he sprayed directly at Zhang Ran: "This article is right, "Time and Space Warrior" is a movie made for Americans, and Zhang Ran has no Chinese audience in his heart at all. "Six Beings of the Realm" is obviously a Chinese story, why should it be changed to the United States? Hollywood shoots white people to save the world, and Zhang Ran, a Chinese, also shoots white people to save the world, it is simply a traitor!"

Netizen "Wisteria Scattered 1987" is a supporter of Zhang Ran, and immediately retorted: "The landlord is sick." If this story is not filmed like this, can it pass the review? Moreover, China's film market is too small to support such a blockbuster. The cost of "Time and Space Warrior" is 120 million, and it is close to 1 billion yuan when converted into RMB, and it will take 3 billion to return to the cost. Now China's annual box office is only more than 1 billion. If it is made into a Chinese film, how will it return to its original cost?"

The speech of "reluctant to speak" represents the thoughts of many ordinary audiences: "I spend money to go to the cinema to watch a movie, and the most important thing is to look good." As long as it looks good, I'll care about his country. If the shooting is not good, I will scold it no matter which country. "Time Warrior" is good, I watch it very well, that's enough!"

Zhang Ran has never responded much to the comments of the media, but this article must be responded, if he does not respond, it will be difficult to take off the hat of a traitor and traitor in the future.

The next day, the entertainment edition of Beijing Entertainment News published an interview with Zhang Ran, in which Zhang Ran responded to the article questioning the Xinjing Daily: "Of course, 'Time and Space Warrior' is a Chinese film, he is a film invested by Chinese and filmed, and we filed a case with the General Administration before the film was filmed. When it comes to promoting Chinese culture, I believe everyone can see the Chinese elements in the movie. Compared with niche literary films, our film will be watched by hundreds of millions of viewers, all of whom are young people, and this difficulty is not cultural dissemination? As for how it will help Chinese films, I really haven't considered it, this burden is too big for me to bear. However, I think that the current domestic audience generally does not trust domestic movies, and when it comes to domestic movies, everyone says that they are bad movies and are unwilling to enter the cinema. I think letting the audience into the cinema is the biggest help for Chinese films!"

Although "Time Warrior" has encountered some criticism, there has been almost no criticism of the quality of the film, and the whole movie has really received rave reviews. Driven by huge word-of-mouth, the box office of "Time and Space Warrior" is rolling forward.

On this day, "Time and Space Warrior" was released for eight days, and the single-day box office on this day was 10.35 million, and the total box office reached 106.9 million, successfully breaking through the 100 million yuan mark.

Although everyone already knew that the box office of "Time and Space Warrior" would inevitably exceed 100 million, no one expected it to be so fast. Prior to this, the fastest record to break 100 million belonged to "Hero", which took ten days, and now "Time and Space Warrior" has improved this record by two days.

"Time Warrior" has set a new record!

Just when the domestic media was cheering for the box office of "Time and Space Warrior", a plane landed steadily at the Capital International Airport, and a foreigner in his fifties stepped off the plane.

Almost everyone in the domestic film industry knows this foreigner, he is an old friend of Chinese cinema and the new president of the Venice Film Festival, Mark Muller. (To be continued.) )

P.S.: It's late today!I'm sorry. I'm not going anywhere tomorrow!
