At the closing ceremony of this year's Magic City Film Festival, there were only a handful of stars present. In addition to the judges, the stars are only Huppert, McGregor, Michelle Yeoh and others, and the directors are only Zhang Ran, Stephen Dudley, Guan Jinpeng and a few. Compared to the star-studded opening ceremony, the closing ceremony was starry-studded.

Zhang Ran is undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence in the entire closing ceremony, because knowing that he will attend the closing ceremony, there are already three or four hundred fans waiting on both sides of the red carpet early. When Zhang Ran walked on the red carpet, fans waved cheering cards and shouted in unison, and the vigorous sound wave after wave pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the top.

McGregor, who was waiting at the entrance, was dumbfounded, such a hot scene is often only seen by Hollywood superstars, I didn't expect Zhang Ran to have such a fanatical fan, even Nolan's appearance is just like that, he sighed in his heart, Robin is really popular!

Zhang Ran has never been slack off on the support of fans, walked over, shook hands with everyone and took photos. After tossing for a while, he walked the red carpet.

Entering the theater, under the guidance of the guide, Zhang Ran came to his place. Sitting next to Zhang Ran is Yu Lan, who is wearing a red dress, who is also the guest of honor tonight, in charge of the best photography award.

Zhang Ran admired Yu Lan very much, especially her performance in "Tuya's Marriage", and chatted with her: "What are you filming recently?"

Yu Landao: ""West Wind Spirit" directed by Gao Qunshu, playing a killer in it. ”

Yu Lan is one of the few actors in China who can insist on experiencing life, and Zhang Ran especially admires her. Hearing that Yu Lan was going to play a female killer, Zhang Ran suddenly smiled: "Then you are in trouble, it is not easy to find that kind of killer state." ”

Yu Lan said embarrassedly: Yes, I really don't know how to find this feeling, I will have a little experience in other roles in the past, so I have no experience in playing this one. ”

Zhang Ran said: "And I can't experience life yet." ”

Yu Lan laughed: "Yes, I can't really kill a person." When I used to film, I always had to enter that mental and mental state before others, and I had to spend a long time to make myself feel like this. And then when the director said that at the beginning, I was basically already. But it's really difficult to play a killer this time, I'm just afraid that that thing will come out, it's just a feeling that it's hard to find. Mr. Zhang, you are an expert in acting, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "You go to the slaughterhouse for two months to try, go to see the pig killing every day, to feel the state of life passing in front of you, and finally it would be better to kill one with your own hands!"

If it was another actress, hearing that someone suggested that she go to the slaughterhouse for two months, she would definitely scold Zhang Ran for being sick, but Yu Lan thought about it very seriously and said: "I definitely can't kill pigs with my own hands, but it should be no problem to take a look!"

Zhang Ran smiled: "Then you practice hard, if I shoot a killer in the future, I will find you to act!"

Yu Lan said: "Don't play the killer to find me, I can play anything!"

Zhang Ran said: "I especially appreciate actors who can calm down and insist on experiencing life, as long as there is a suitable role, I will definitely find you!"

Yu Lan smiled: "Then we're decided!"

The award ceremony kicked off with a song and dance by Karen Mok, followed by the award ceremony. The award for Best Screenplay went to the Italian film "Yes, We Can", the award for Best Cinematography went to the French film "No Blessed Land", and the award for Best Music went to the Korean film "Cinema is Cinema".

To be honest, Zhang Ran didn't say that he had seen these award-winning films, and he hadn't even heard of them.

This year's Magic City Film Festival is very lively, not only with the help of international film stars such as Halle Berry, Cliff Owen and Ewan McGregor, but also two Oscar-winning directors Danny Boyle and Stephen Dudley, which shows that the influence of the Magic City International Film Festival is constantly improving.

But when it comes to the main competition films competing for the Golden Goblet Award, they are almost all unpopular films, and there are 16 films from various countries, and almost none of them can be remembered. A film festival that has been held for 12 years can't promote good movies, in the final analysis, it is because the festival is not attractive, and the truly first-class films disdain to participate.

In fact, this is not only a problem faced by the Magic City Film Festival, but also a problem faced by the upcoming Beiping Film Festival, or a problem faced by the fantasy film festival that Zhang Ran wants to do.

When the Best Actor Award began to be awarded, Zhang Ran got up and walked backstage, ready to present the award with American actress Andy McDowell. Andy McDowell was a smash hit in the 90s, with "Sex, Lies, and Videotape", "Groundhog Day" and the "Four Weddings and a Funeral" that she couldn't have been more familiar with, and she is also a jury member of this festival.

Zhang Ran chatted with Andy McDowell backstage, Zhang Ran's first movie "Time Prisoner" was adapted from Liu Gongzi's "One Day Prisoner", and Liu Gongzi's was obviously influenced by "Groundhog Day", so after meeting Andy McDowell, the heroine of "Groundhog Day", Zhang Ran naturally couldn't help but pay some respect to her.

Soon it was the turn of the jury to win the award, and the male host Lin Hai said loudly: "What we are going to award next is a heavyweight award, the jury award!"

The hostess Jingwei said: "The tense moment has arrived, and the following are the guests of honor, the famous director Zhang Ran, and the famous Hollywood actor Andy McDowell!"

In a burst of screams and applause, Andy McDowell, who was wearing a black suit and wearing a purple dress, walked through the passage from the backstage and walked onto the stage.

After standing still, Zhang Ran looked at Andy McDowell and asked, "Andy, in addition to participating in the selection of movies in the magic capital this time, I don't know if you have any different feelings from other places?"

Every year, after the organizing committee of the film festival takes great pains to invite some stars from overseas to come to the magic capital, the questions of the reporters are always "what do you think of Chinese films?" and "Which Chinese director do you want to work with?" For ordinary viewers in the magic capital, what they want to know most is what these foreign stars think of the magic capital, and even what they think of China. Chinese people are very hospitable, if the guests come, they will try their best to entertain them, and if they can hear that the guests are having a good time, everyone will feel very satisfied.

Andy McDowell thought for a moment and smiled: "In addition to judging the winning films, I went to a lot of places, walked on the streets, took pictures, and tasted a lot of snacks, and that bun was particularly magical." She gestured in her hand and said, "It's soup in it, I don't even know how it was poured in." ”

When the audience heard her describe the soup dumplings like this, they all burst out laughing and thought she was very cute.

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "This question stumped me, in fact, I don't know." Maybe we should find a chef to ask the question. There are a lot of food in China, and there are also very enthusiastic movie fans, and I hope you will come to China more often in the future. ”

Andy McDowell nodded, "I also hope to be able to bring my work back to China." ”

In the past two years, with the rapid rise of the Chinese market, Hollywood has paid more and more attention to China, and more and more Hollywood crews and stars have come to China to promote movies.

"The next time you come to China, you must inform me, and I will be your director. Now it's time to get down to business, and we're going to present the awards. Zhang Ran handed the envelope to Andy McDowell, "You're the judge, or you're here to announce!"

Andy McDowell smiled at Zhang Ran, opened the envelope, and announced: "The winner of the jury award is "Looking for Zhimei Gengden" China, director Wanma Tsedan!"

Although the audience didn't know Wanma Tseden and hadn't seen this movie, after all, it was a Chinese film that won the award, so everyone applauded vigorously.

Wanma Caidan is a Nortel 02-level film and television director, and after graduation, he was admitted to Tian Zhuangzhuang's graduate school in 06. In 05, Wanma Tsedan's "Quiet Mani Stone" not only won the award at the Busan Film Festival, but also won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director's Debut Female Film.

After the crew of "Looking for Zhimei Gengden" came on stage, Zhang Ran smiled and handed the trophy to Wanma Tsedan, shook hands with him, and said, "Congratulations, Wanma!"

As a student of Nortel, Wanma Caidan was very respectful to Zhang Ran: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Ran asked with a smile: "You are a strong graduate student, you should graduate this year, this is your graduation work, right?"

"Yes, it's my graduation work, and I'm going back to school to attend the graduation ceremony soon after the film festival. ”

Zhang Ran bowed slightly, he has seen all the shortlisted films at the Magic Capital Film Festival today, the movie is made well, and encouraged: "The temperament of this film is close to that of Iranian films, it feels very similar to Abbas's film, it is very good, I look forward to more of your works!" After speaking, Zhang Ran hurriedly stood aside and gave the stage to Wanma Tsedan.

After the Jury Award, Danny Boyle, chairman of the jury of this film festival, personally announced the Golden Goblet Award, the Danish film "Original Life", another work that neither the director nor the work has ever heard of.

At the end of the awards ceremony, Zhang Ran attended the celebration reception of the film festival as a guest, talked nonsense with the gods and goddesses present for two hours, and then went back to the hotel to sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ran got on the plane back to Beiping. This year, the class of 05 he led will graduate, and at the same time, the students of the Asian Film Academy are also about to graduate after three years of study. It's the end of June now, and the graduation ceremony is about to begin, and as the head teacher of Class 05 and the dean of the Asian Film Academy, he definitely has to attend.

When Zhang Ran walked into the Nortel campus, he felt a faint sense of parting. Listening to the parting music, he was also a little sentimental, the students just entered the military training as if it was yesterday, but they are about to graduate in a blink of an eye, and time flies so fast!

Zhang Ran always felt a little sorry for his students, in the past few years, he has been busy with both the Olympics and movies, and he has too little time to care about everyone. Although Guo Zhen and Yan Shuo led them very well, and everyone's foundation was very thick, if they put more effort into it, they would definitely be even better.

Zhang Ran was thinking about it, when someone suddenly called out "Teacher Zhang", and then a figure stepped on broken steps and stood in front of him lightly.

Zhang Ran raised his head and couldn't help laughing: "Jingtian, why are you wandering around the school every time I run into you?"

"I'm not messing around!" Jing Tian looked at Zhang Ran, smiled with crooked eyebrows, tilted his head and asked, "Teacher Zhang, you said that as long as I study hard in school in my freshman and sophomore year, I will be arranged, and I will be a junior next semester, don't you talk and don't talk!"

Lu Zheng helped Zhang Ran a lot, especially the expansion of Jiahe Cinema Line in the west, he made a great effort, Zhang Ran promised him that he would definitely not forget, so he said: "I have to deal with graduation in the past two days, so let's do it, don't leave after the holiday, and I will contact you and Lu Zheng when the time comes." ”

Jing Tian blinked his eyes and smiled sweetly: "Okay, I'll wait for your call." Teacher Zhang, I won't delay you, goodbye!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand: "Go, go, go!" He turned around and walked towards the watch guide building.
