Chapter 460: It's so unfair
Zhang Ran didn't like Lars von Trier's films, whether it was "Breaking the Waves", "Dancer in the Dark", or "Dogtown". Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but Zhang Ran likes this person a lot, he remembers as if he heard someone say that Lars von Trier is a die-hard fan of Bergman, and he has asked to see Bergman many times but has not received a response, and finally became angry and turned from pink to black. He was skeptical of this statement before, but judging from the situation in front of him, it is likely to be true, and this reaction is too much like a black fan who turns into hatred because of love.
Zhang Ran looked at Russ von Trier and smiled: "Russ, I heard that you particularly like Bergman's films, have you seen all his movies?"
Hearing this, Russ von Trier said angrily: "That was before, I didn't like Bergman anymore, I said to him a long time ago, Bergman, fuck you! Don't expect anything from that old bastard, he won't see you, he won't give you any help!"
Everyone present understands what's going on, this is really a typical example of love turning into hate, turning from pink to black!
Scorsese smiled: "I want Bergman to meet Zhang Ran!"
Russ von Trier was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and suddenly exploded: "Why?
Scorsese explains: "Bergman has always lived on Faroe Island, has a private cinema where he watches two or three movies a day, and he has seen Zhang Ran's 'The Aviator' and loves it very much. Scorsese looked at the time and said to Zhang Ran: "It's too late, I'll call Bergman tomorrow, I think he will talk to you after he knows your current state." ”
Zhang Ran hurriedly said: "Martin, thank you!"
Russ von Trier coughed, looked at Scorsese, and asked, "Mr. Scorsese, did that old bastard mention my movie?"
Scorsese shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, he didn't talk to me about your movie! I told him that a young director named Zhang Ran recently made a movie called "The Aviator", which is very good. After he finished watching it, he said to me that I was very sad after Akira Kurosawa left us, but after watching the movie "The Aviator", I saw a good successor. ”
The directors and actors present all said wow when they heard this, and many people looked at Zhang Ran with the same eyes, Kurosawa's successor, this is not what the media said, it was Bergman who said it, this is simply the supreme praise!
Zhang Jingchu puffed up her chest, her face was filled with incomparable pride and satisfaction, my Zhang Ran is really the best, even Bergman said so, this is Bergman, not Ultraman!
It's true that Zhang Ran likes Kurosawa's movies, and he is indeed influenced by Kurosawa, but he doesn't want to be Kurosawa's successor. He wants to be Zhang Ran first, not Kurosawa second, and waved his hand and said: "The successor of director Kurosawa is Takeshi Kitano, I can't be Kurosawa's successor!"
Scorsese understood Zhang Ran's thoughts, Zhang Ran was a modest young man, but he was very proud in his bones, so he said: "Bergman also said that "The Aviator" is a very good movie, but unfortunately the director has not really faced himself!"
Zhang Ran was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"
Scorsese shook his head: "I don't know, if he agrees to see you, you can ask him then!"
……
Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu walked hand in hand on the Champs-Élysées, admiring the street and enjoying the sunshine at the same time, with a satisfied smile on their faces, which was very pleasant.
As she was walking, Zhang Jingchu let out an "oops", leaned back, and was about to slip in front of her. Zhang Ran's eyes were quick, and he hugged her: "Be careful!"
After Zhang Jingchu stood firmly, she looked at the ground and shouted, "I stepped on a landmine!" she said as she walked to the wall with a depressed face to pack her shoes.
There are more than three on the streets of Paris, many beauties, many flowers, and many ****. Some people even say that if you haven't stepped on the **** of Parisian taste in Paris, it is really a trip to Paris for nothing. Zhang Ran smiled and comforted: "I heard that stepping on the **** on the streets of Paris symbolizes luck, maybe we will pick up our wallets today!"
Zhang Jingchu glanced at Zhang Ran: "I hate it!"
Stepping on the **** did not affect Zhang Jingchu's mood, she quickly forgot about this unhappiness, and took Zhang Ran's hand and continued to walk on this street known as the most beautiful in Paris.
China's popular star is just an ordinary tourist here. This unrestrained feeling makes Zhang Jingchu very relaxed, and she enjoys this rare leisure time very much.
Walking around in the afternoon, Zhang Jingchu was a little hungry, so she took Zhang Ran's arm, greeted the afternoon sun, and walked towards the temple in her heart. A young woman like Zhang Jingchu will definitely go to a place in Paris, located on the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Café de la Flore at the corner of Saint-Benoit.
This café has witnessed many important moments in history, it is the place of enlightenment of existentialism, it is the birthplace of surrealism, it is the café in Xu Zhimo's prose, but the most talked about is that Beauvoir and Sartre often chatted here, and the café witnessed their vigorous love.
Zhang Ran and the others arrived at more than two o'clock in the afternoon, but the café was still full of customers, and all the seats in the open air were full. Guests drinking coffee while basking in the sun are a sight to behold in Paris, as if to inform everyone who comes to Paris how comfortable and beautiful life can be.
Zhang Ran was about to walk into the café with Zhang Jingchu, when he suddenly saw someone waving at him, and when he saw that it was Lars von Trier, whom he had seen last night, he said hello to Zhang Jingchu and walked over together.
Russ von Trier was drinking coffee here alone, and there was nothing to do, so he invited Zhang Ran and them to sit down and talk together.
After Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu sat down, the waiter quickly brought the menu. Zhang Ran ordered a cup of the specialty cappuccino of the Flower God Café, ordered another staple dish, and then chatted with Lasvon Trier.
Russ von Trier didn't like Zhang Ran's films, "The Crackling Drummer" and "Time Warrior" were his most disdainful Hollywood model films, and "The Aviator" was better, but it wasn't a liking either. However, as a fan of Bergman, knowing that Zhang Ran might go to Faroe Island, the holy land in his heart, to meet Bergman, he couldn't help but want to talk to Zhang Ran.
However, he didn't talk to Zhang Ran about Bergman, but talked about his own movie, and he told Zhang Ran that he was going to make a comedy next.
This was a bit unexpected by Zhang Ran, it was really hard to imagine what the comedy of this extreme madman would be like, he thought it strange: "Why do you want to make a comedy?"
Lars von Trier sighed slightly: "I'm almost like you, and I'm in a predicament! I can't find the feeling after filming "Dogtown", and I feel that my ability to shoot "Mandalay" last year is only 50% of what I used to be! I once heard people say that if a director falls into a low ebb, it takes seven years to get out, which is terrible!"
Zhang Ran realized that after "Dog Town", Maniac Feng's films were relatively mediocre, and it was really a low ebb period. Thinking about it, Akira Kurosawa went through a ten-year low tide after filming "Red Beard", and Quentin was silent for nearly eight years after filming "Pulp Fiction". Many directors have such a quiet period in their careers. Zhang Ran's face was a little ugly: "That's why you make comedies, just to break through yourself and find a way." ”
Russ von Trier sighed and said, "Yes, but I'm afraid it's difficult, whether it's comedy or tragedy, it's something external. Why does it take seven years to get out of the low ebb period from our hearts? I think it is probably that what we want to express most in our hearts has already been expressed, and our hearts have been hollowed out, and we have nothing we particularly want to express, so our hearts have become insensitive. After seven years of life, we have a new desire to express in our hearts, and the feeling is revived!"
This sounds very reasonable, but Zhang Ran is difficult to accept, the seven-year low tide period, this is simply life-threatening! At this time, Zhang Ran thought of Ang Lee, like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, Ang Lee doesn't seem to have an obvious low tide period, maybe "Lust and Caution" is Ang Lee's low tide period, but Bergman rescued him!
If Bergman can free Ang Lee and let him get through the low tide, then he may be able to solve the predicament I am encountering!
At this moment, Zhang Ran's mobile phone rang, it was Scorsese's phone. Scorsese's voice came after the connection: "Bergman agrees that you will go to Faroe Island to meet him!"
"Really, that's great!" Zhang Ran almost wanted to cheer loudly, but in front of the audience, he couldn't help it, "Can you wait until I finish filming "Paris I Love You" before going? I want to take the film to Mr. Bergman at that time!"
Russ von Trier looked at Zhang Ran dumbfounded, Bergman agreed to see Zhang Ran, I liked Bergman's movies so much, I almost saw him as my father, but he didn't see me. This kid is obviously a follower of Akira Kurosawa, but Bergman wants to see him, which is so unfair!
Scorsese laughed, "I knew you would say that, and I told him that." ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran saw that Russ von Trier was glaring at him with envious and jealous eyes, and quickly smiled at him.
Lars von Trier still couldn't believe it: "Did that bastard really promise to see you?"
Zhang Ran nodded: "Yes!"
Russ von Trier slammed his hands on the table so much that the cups on the table jumped, and coffee spilled: "Damn! Why just ignore me?" he stared at Zhang Ran viciously and asked, "How many movies have you watched him?"
Zhang Ran was taken aback by Trier's eyes: "I've seen "Wild Strawberries", "Silence" and "Masquerade"!"
Lars von Trier covered his face and let out a painful groan: "Damn!" and then he glared at Zhang Ran and said, "I've seen all of Bergman's works, and I've seen his commercials, everything." I don't know how many superstitious letters I've written to him, but Bergman never writes back to me. You've only seen him in three movies, and he wants to see you! Damn! Why? It's so unfair!"
Zhang Ran didn't know why, he was a little sympathetic to Trier, if his idol treated him like this, I am afraid that he would also turn from pink to black! But Zhang Ran didn't have time to sympathize with him, so he got up and said to Zhang Jingchu: "Let's go!"
Zhang Jingchu snorted: "Where are we going?"
Zhang Ran replied: "Go back to the hotel!"
After all, he was going to see Bergman, and Zhang Ran didn't want the work he brought with him to be too bad, so he had to think about how to shoot better shots. Zhang Ran said hello to Russ von Trier, paid the bill and left.
Just after walking a few steps, Las von Trier suddenly shouted, "Zhang, please wait a minute!"
Zhang Ran stood there and looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lars von Trier scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed: "Can you go to Bergman and ask me what he thinks of my films?" He coughed and added: "Originally, I was going to never watch his movies again, but when I was filming "Mandalay" last year, I couldn't find the feeling, so I found "Wild Strawberries" and watched it. After reading it, I wrote him another letter, but I still didn't reply to me. I've been hoping to get a call from him, Russ, you're coming to Faroe Island, let's talk! ”
Zhang Ran nodded affirmatively: "When I see Mr. Bergman, I will help you ask!" (To be continued.) )
