Chapter 345 of the text is too fucked up

Next chapter

Pu Cunxin shook hands with Zhang Ran and congratulated: "Congratulations, very wonderful performance! The students in your class are good, and their lines, shape, and performance are all excellent." Next semester, your senior year should be in the graduation drama. When the time comes, give me two tickets, and I want to see what kind of Cheng dΓΉ your big drama can perform. ”

Zhang Ran was overjoyed: "Certainly, it is our honor that Mr. Pu Cunxin can come to see our performance." ”

After that, the people of the drama troupe such as Mandarin and Kongzheng also said almost the same thing, affirmed today's performance, and said that they would come to see the graduation drama of the 01 table.

01 The students of the table are overjoyed, Renyi and Mandarin are very strict in recruiting actors, and it is impossible to recruit you into the troupe when they see that you are performing well. is like Huang Xiaoming's "Chinese Partner" performed well, and won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. But can you say that his acting skills are good?

The selection of actors by these troupes is similar to that of the national football team, and it often takes a period of observation before making a decision. Since the leaders of these repertory troupes have said that they want to come to see the graduation play, it means that some students have entered their sight.

After the troupe and the film and television company left, Zhao Baogang spoke: "Zhang Ran, which girl played the leaf in "Give Me a Cigarette"?"

Zhang Xinyi jumped out of the crowd: "I'm me, it's me!"

Zhao Baogang looked at Zhang Xinyi and nodded slightly: "That's right, I have bought the copyright of the novel "Give Me a Cigarette" and am ready to make it into a TV series. I'm preparing for casting recently, I think you're a good fit, and I hope you'll be able to audition for the crew. ”

The other students let out a burst of exclamation when they heard this, this is Zhao Baogang, he is the most admirable Chinese TV drama director. "Addicted" became popular with Wang Zhiwen, "A Matter of Wind and Snow" became popular with Xu Jinglei, "Never Look Away" became popular with Lu Yi, "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" became popular with Chen Kun, is it Zhang Xinyi's turn now?

Zhang Xinyi didn't expect Zhao Baogang to take the initiative to invite herself to audition, she couldn't believe her ears, and said excitedly: "Yes, I am willing to participate!"

Zhang Ran smiled, in his memory, the first play starring Zhang Xinyi was Ye Zi in "Give Me a Cigarette", so he arranged for Zhang Xinyi to play Ye Zi, and invited Zhao Baogang over with a relationship, and he was very satisfied with this result.

Zhang Xinyi's future should not have to worry, her acting skills are much better than in her previous life, and Zhang Ran believes that her future will be brighter than in her previous life.

The next day, the students packed up and went home, and Zhang Ran came to the later stage of Tiangong Chongcai to do "Aviator". He was busy in front of the computer when he suddenly received a call from Han Shanping.

"Mr. Han?" Zhang Ran stared at the display screen and said absentmindedly, "Is there something wrong?"

Han Shanping said: "Zhang Ran, I have bad news to tell you." ”

Zhang Ran had a bad feeling in his heart, "Time and Space Warrior" is about to be released, is there something wrong? I can't help asking: "Mr. Han, what happened?"

Han Shanping sighed: "That's the case, "Fahrenheit 911" has not been reviewed, and it can't be released in China." ”

Zhang Ran was dumbfounded, how could "Fahrenheit 911" not be reviewed? The United States has been released normally, how can it not be reviewed in China?

After "Fahrenheit 911" won the Palme d'Or, Zhang Ran began to contact the distribution company to discuss the distribution rights. On the Chinese side, it is China Film, and on the American side, it is Lionsgate. The whole thing was the same as Zhang Ran remembered, and Lionsgate didn't hesitate and agreed directly. "Fahrenheit 911" won the Palme d'Or, which attracted huge attention, and it was sure to be a big hit at the box office, and Lionsgate would not miss such a work.

Of course, Lionsgate also had some trouble with the release of "Fahrenheit 911", first being rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America, and teenagers under the age of 17 are not allowed to watch it alone, which made "Fahrenheit 911" lose at least 20% of its audience. Lionsgate and Michael Moore appealed, asking for a revision of the rating. However, to no avail, the Motion Picture Association of America was in the hands of the Big Six, and with the promotion of Disney, Lionsgate and Moore's request was rejected. In addition, Bush's supporters launched an online protest demanding that movie theaters across the United States ban "Fahrenheit 911."

Although "Fahrenheit 911" has encountered a lot of trouble, there are also many supporters, Hollywood has always been on the left, many stars have expressed their support for the movie, Sean Penn strongly supports "Fahrenheit 911", and pop music diva Madonna has also publicly called on fans to buy tickets to watch "Fahrenheit 911".

The support of these stars has given Fahrenheit 911 a higher level of attention. The movie opened in Hall 1184 on July 2, achieving a surprising result of 38.93 million, with a single box office of more than 30,000, beating "Spider-Man 2", which was released for two weeks, to win the weekly championship and surprise countless people's eyes.

With the first-week box office and single hall results of "Fahrenheit 911", there is almost no suspense at the box office exceeding 100 million!

"Fahrenheit 911" is so hot at the box office in the United States, as a movie with a black American government, the Chinese box office should be good. Zhang Ran never dreamed that the movie would not be reviewed. Recently, CCTV news has mentioned "Fahrenheit 911" countless times to criticize the US government's actions in Iraq.

Zhang Ran really couldn't figure it out and asked, "Why the hell?"

Han Sanping was silent for a moment and said: "The reason is that we can't cause trouble to the US election, and we can't affect Sino-US relations!"

Zhang Ran almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood, what is the reason for this?

Can't afford to cause trouble for the U.S. election?

Isn't it nice to add chaos to the U.S. government election?

As a teacher, Zhang Ran has always paid attention to his words and deeds, but now he finally can't help it: "This reason is too fucked up, isn't it? The U.S. government didn't say anything, but the dignified Chinese management department jumped out." Are these people sick? Taizu said at the beginning, and the Chinese people have stood up from then on. But decades have passed, and many people themselves have fallen to their knees again. It's still a government department, don't you want to be so cheap!"

Han Sanping coughed: "Zhang Ran, let's just say these things in private, don't say them in public, otherwise you will cause big trouble." It's not the General Administration that doesn't let "Fahrenheit 911" pass the review, it's much bigger than the General Administration!"

Zhang Ran was stunned and asked, "Who is it?"

Han Sanping said: "Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

Zhang Ran suddenly remembered that "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" was banned, and "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" was still followed by the military, and it was also blocked, not to mention that he was an ordinary person. It's also a good thing that those people don't know that the global rights to Fahrenheit 911 are in their own hands, otherwise they would probably demand that Fahrenheit 911 not be released in the United States!

It's fucking fucking!

Zhang Ran was quite unhappy in his heart, but things were already like this, no matter how unhappy he was, it didn't work. He quickly calmed down: "But the trial is not a trial, "Fahrenheit 911" is a documentary, and there will not be much box office in China." ”

Han Shanping comforted: "It's good that you can think so." He didn't want to continue this unpleasant news, so he changed the subject: "There are two days before the premiere of "Time and Space Warrior", Reeves and they won't have any changes, right?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Don't worry, participating in China's propaganda is written into the contract, and there will be no problems." ”

Han Shanping snorted: "That's good." ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran shook his head and resumed his work. For Zhang Ran, "The Aviator" is the most important, which condenses his hard work for more than ten years, and the movie can only succeed, not fail.

On July 15, the Chinese premiere of "Time and Space Warrior" was held in Beiping. Keanu Reeves, Adrien Broady, Zhang Ziyi, Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xun and other actors all appeared.

Almost all the well-known domestic media rushed over, and the whole scene was crowded. Many reporters watched "Time and Space Warrior" for the first time, and almost all of them were in the same uniform after watching it.

Now the box office of "Time and Space Warrior" in North America is close to 140 million, and the global box office is close to 400 million, plus China, the final box office should be close to 500 million. The movie was a good box office, the actors were very relaxed, and when it came to the questioning stage, the whole scene was very joyful, like a party.

A reporter asked Reeves: "Keanu, you speak Chinese well in the movie, did you learn from Zhang Ran?"

Reeves smiled and said, "Yes, it was learned from Zhang." Not only in Chinese, I really like to listen to Sam Cook's "Seductive NDME", so I asked Zhang if there are any Chinese songs that are also sweet and tender. He taught me a song. Saying that, Reeves sang to everyone at the scene: "Sweet Mimi, muddy smile Sweet Mimi......"

This is of course deliberately arranged, and domestic audiences especially eat this set, and they all like to watch foreigners speak Chinese.

Things turned out to be as Zhang Ran expected, the media and reporters at the scene were stunned, and then they all applauded, and everyone had a good impression of Reeves.

In view of the great success of "Time and Space Warrior" overseas, everyone is very much looking forward to the film's performance in China. A reporter asked: "Director Zhang, can you predict the box office of "Time and Space Warriors"?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I personally think that the box office of the movie should be around 200 million, and I hope it can reach 300 million! Of course, if possible, I hope the box office is 370 million." ”

After Zhang Ran said this, many reporters didn't understand why Zhang Ran said 370 million. However, some reporters who know more about the number of movies quickly reacted that China's movie box office record is 360 million for "Titanic".

A reporter immediately asked: "Do you want to break the record of "Titanic"?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "If possible, I hope to be able to do it." ”

A reporter asked: "The box office of "Titanic" is 360 million, and the second-ranked "Hero" is only 250 million, a difference of more than 100 million. Zhang Yimou didn't do it, do you think you can do it?"

Zhang Ran remembers very well that it was "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" that broke the record of "Titanic" 5 years later, but the record of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" was refreshed by "2012" within two months, and then "Avatar" was born, which increased the entire record by two times.

However, the current situation is different from the previous life, because of the emergence of "Burst Drummer" and "Sadder", more hot money has poured into the film market, and now the number of domestic screens is close to the level of the previous life in 2006.

Zhang Ran looked at the reporter who asked the question and said categorically: "It's very difficult, but I want to try." If I fail, it means that I haven't done well enough, and I will continue to work hard. I believe that not only me, but also director Zhang Yimou, director Feng Xiaogang, director Chen Kaige, all Chinese filmmakers are holding their breath in their hearts, hoping to write this record. Because on Chinese soil, the box office record is set by foreigners, and this is a shame for all Chinese filmmakers! Not once, ten times, ten times, a hundred times! One day, we will rewrite this record!"

The reporters originally felt that Zhang Ran was a little overwhelmed, "Titanic" was too sensational, and its record was like a miracle in front of them, which could only be looked up and difficult to shake. But when they listened to Zhang Ran's words, their hearts were deeply moved.

They are all Chinese, who the hell doesn't want the record of Chinese movies to be created by Chinese!

The whole scene was thunderous for a while. (To be continued.) )
