The premiere of "Angel of Justice" was held at the AMC Lincoln Theatre in New York, which has the largest IMAX screen in New York and one of the highest screening standards in New York.

Unlike Cannes, which is only open to the industry, the New York Film Festival emphasizes the public, and all films are screened with open tickets, and "Angel of Justice" is no exception, with three screenings a day on the 16th and 17th, in addition to the premiere. Zhang Ran's films are not only popular in China, but also in the United States, and many people want to watch "Angel of Justice", which can be described as hard to find. In order to control the situation, tickets for Angel of Justice had to be generated through a lottery and a lottery.

The red carpet of the New York Film Festival is a bit similar to Venice, it is paved horizontally, on the sidewalk in front of the cinema, only a dozen meters before and after. On the side of the red carpet near the road, a display board several meters long is arranged, and the star must stop in front of the display board to facilitate reporters to take pictures. In the lobby of the cinema, large photographs of Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu, Amy Adams and Ulrich Tukel have been hung, as well as posters of "Angel of Justice".

The influence of the New York Film Festival in the industry is far less than that of the three major ones, and the on-site coverage is basically the local media in the United States. However, due to the premiere of Zhang Ran's new film "Angel of Justice", many Chinese reporters came to the scene, including reporters from the mainland, Xiangjiang and Taiwan, as well as reporters from South Korea and Dongying. American reporters lamented that Zhang Ran's influence is really not comparable to ordinary people, and it is rare for the New York Film Festival to be so lively!

Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Leonardo, Wintour, etc. appeared one after another; Ang Lee, Jia Zhangke, Lu Yan, Tan Enmei and other well-known figures in the Chinese circle also came to help; in addition, Weitling's nieces and granddaughters, as well as Zhang Chunru's parents also appeared on the scene. Screams and cheers erupted in front of the Lincoln Theatre, as lively as the scene of the Oscars.

Most of these people are giving Zhang Ran face and cheering in front. After Zhang Ran entered the screening hall, he couldn't stop walking around and greeted the guests who came to cheer. Robert De Niro saw Zhang Ran, pulled him to take a selfie, and pulled him to play live broadcast. However, when Robert De Niro asked Zhang Ran to speak to the camera, Zhang Ran said shyly: "I'm very shy......" was immediately interrupted by Robert De Niro: "Come less, you won't be shy!" Zhang Ran laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I'll broadcast live, gentlemen, ladies, I'm Zhang Ran, ...... now"

As soon as he got rid of Robert De Niro's entanglement, Leonardo came to the door again: "You haven't forgotten about our cooperation, have you?

Zhang Ran shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "The script is still being revised, it is not mature, you need to wait!"

Then Wintour came again: "Robin, at the beginning of this year I asked you to be the artistic director of this year's Metropolitan Museum Charity Ball, with a Chinese theme, when you said you didn't have time to make a movie. Now that the film is finished, it's no problem to be the artistic director of the charity ball next year, right?"

Li An saw one celebrity after another pulling Zhang Ran to speak, and said to Jia Zhangke beside him: "Zhang Ran is really popular!"

Jia Zhangke chuckled and said: "No way, whoever can achieve his achievements will definitely be welcome." ”

Before the screening, the festival director took the stage to speak. The art director first thanked Zhang Ran for putting the premiere of "Angel of Justice" in New York, and then began to tout the film wildly. He said that "Angel of Justice" is a great movie, with the same themes of war and human nature, and this film has achieved a depth that American movies can't.

After the artistic director finished speaking, Zhang Ran was invited to the front. He briefly introduced the three protagonists of the movie, Zhang Chunru, Weitling and Rabe, and then looked at the audience and said slowly: "I think it is important for us to remember them and their stories." These stories remind us how easy it is to get us to kill each other without hesitation, no matter how civilized we think we are, and their stories show us that kindness is the hope of humanity!"

Zhang Ran returned to his seat after speaking, he took a deep breath and quietly waited for the movie to begin.

At this moment, Zhang Jingchu stretched her head over and whispered in Zhang Ran's ear: "I haven't seen you nervous at the premiere of the movie for many years, I thought you wouldn't be nervous!"

"yes, I haven't been so nervous in a long time. Zhang Ran shook Zhang Jingchu's hand and said softly, "Look, my palms are sweaty." ”

Zhang Jingchu knows why Zhang Ran is nervous, people are like this, the more you care, the easier it is to be nervous. Just like some students, they usually do well in exams, but when it comes to the big exams, their grades are always unsatisfactory. Zhang Ran spent too much effort on this movie, and especially hoped that the movie would be successful, so even if he experienced strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but become nervous.

Zhang Jingchu held Zhang Ran's hand and comforted softly: "We have all seen the movie, it is absolutely first-class." We will not fail, we will succeed. ”

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "I know, and I believe that I won't fail, but I still can't help but be nervous." ”

At this moment, the lights in the screening room went out, and the film officially began.

On the afternoon of December 14, 1994, the Cupatino Community Center on the outskirts of San Jose, California, was bathed in warm sunshine. At this time, a car stopped in front of the community center. A woman in a white shirt and black pants got out of the car and walked towards the community center.

The camera cuts to the inside of the community center, where the woman in a white shirt, black pants, and ponytail walks up to her. She carried a black bag, a pen and notebook in her hand, and looked very energetic. Seeing the woman on the screen, Zhang Chunru's father and mother's eyes moistened, and they called softly: "Chunru!"

The camera follows Zhang Chunru forward, and the walls are plastered with an introduction to the Nanjing Massacre, as well as many photos of the massacre. Black-and-white photos show people with their heads cut off, people with their stomachs cut open with bayonets, people stripped of their clothes...... These horrific photos shocked Zhang Chunru's heart and the hearts of everyone present.

Zhang Chunru stopped in front of a photograph of a man beheaded, the katana had been swung, and the head had not yet fallen. This photo shocked Zhang Chunru, and also made the audience in front of the screen unbearable to look at it directly. Zhang Chunru's close-up, she looked at the photo in a daze, and then a tear slowly slipped down.

The camera cuts to the service desk, where Ding Yuan, the organizer of the exhibition, is talking to a Chinese about the Nanjing Massacre exhibition. At this moment, Zhang Chun walked over. She looked at Ding Yuan and said with a serious expression, "Excuse me." I saw these pictures and they were very impactful. Can I borrow and make copies if I want to?"

Ding Yuan looked at Zhang Chunru, who was like a female student, and asked, "What do you want these for?"

"For reference, I'm a professional writer, I've just finished my first book, and I'm currently working on a new topic. ”

Ding Yuan looked at Zhang Chunru and felt that she was too young and looked like a high school student writing a book report, so he said: "This is a very serious thing, a subject that you don't even want to touch." ”

"When I was a child, I heard my parents talk about the Nanjing Massacre, and when I was in middle school, I searched the libraries in the Champagne area to learn more about the massacre, but to no avail. I have the impression that the Nanjing Massacre lacks details, like a legend. Zhang Chunru pointed to the photos on the wall and said with a solemn expression, "It wasn't until I saw these photos that I realized that the Nanjing Massacre was not a legend, but a real history! I wanted to write a book about the Nanjing Massacre." ”

After speaking, Zhang Chunru turned his head slightly, facing the camera, and also facing the audience in front of the screen.

Almost everyone at the scene saw the firmness and determination in those black eyes. There were many Chinese in the audience, and everyone knew that Zhang Chunru committed suicide. Seeing these firm eyes, everyone couldn't help but sigh slightly. Jia Zhangke sighed lightly and said, "Zhang Chunru is a hero, but it's a pity that he died young!" Li An nodded slightly: "Yes, it's really a pity!"

It was at this moment that the name of the movie appeared, Angel of Justice. Immediately after, the name of the movie was printed on a book that became a book called Angels of Justice. The book slowly opened, and inside was the name of the film's creator. Director: Zhang Ran. Starring: Zhang Jingchu, Amy Adams, Ulrich Tucker, Siqingova ......

As soon as the pages are closed, the screen cuts to Grand Central Terminal in New York. Zhang Chunru was wearing a coat and stood in front of the station, looking around, obviously waiting for someone. A man in his fifties walked over: "Are you Miss Zhang Chunru? I'm Shao Ziping." Zhang Chunru suddenly showed a bright smile: "Hello, Dr. Shao." I'm Zhang Chunru. ”

Through the dialogue between the two, the audience in front of the screen quickly knew that Shao Ziping was an activist in the East Coast of the United States to preserve the historical facts of the Sino-Japanese War. Zhang Chunru planned to go to Yale University to collect information about the Nanjing Massacre, so Zhang Chunru's friend contacted Shao Ziping and asked Zhang Chunru to spend the night at Shao Ziping's house. Shao Ziping's home is in Caien Town, which is relatively close to Yale. Staying at Shao Ziping's house, it is more convenient for Zhang Chunru to check the information.

The two chatted briefly and got on the train to Caien. Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Chunru looked at Shao Ziping and asked, "Dr. Shao, I heard that you discovered the video footage taken by Pastor John Magee during the Nanjing Massacre and made a documentary?"

Shao Ziping nodded: "A few years ago, we visited some people in the church in China during the Nanjing Massacre, and learned that Pastor John Magee used a 16mm camera to record the atrocities of the invading Japanese army, and we began to look for the whereabouts of the film he filmed. At that time, the people of Dongying were also looking for the video materials taken by Maggie, so it can be said that we were racing against them. ”

Zhang Chunru's close-up shot, her expression was a little surprised, obviously she didn't understand what Dongying people were doing with Ma Ji's film. The camera cuts back, and Shao Ziping continued: "Coincidentally, Pastor Magee's son, David Magee, lives just two streets away from my house. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Ziping looked at Zhang Chunru and said solemnly: "When you write a book about the Nanjing Massacre, you must pay attention to safety, and your address and telephone number must be kept secret. The right wing of Dongying is crazy, and you must pay attention to safety. ”

The camera cuts to the outside of the carriage, a large panorama, at this time it is pitch black outside, only the inside of the carriage is bright. Zhang Chunru seemed to be saying something, but the rumble of the train engulfed everything.

This shot made Scorsese slightly stunned, and then smiled, it was pitch black outside the carriage, only Zhang Chunru in the carriage was in the light, like an angel; the darkness outside refers to the right wing of Dongying, Zhang Chunru is the angel of justice who tears through the darkness and tells the truth to the world; and Zhang Chunru's voice is covered by the roar of the train, which is implying that Zhang Chunru was finally swallowed by the darkness, that is, he committed suicide.

Jia Zhangke's feelings are somewhat different from Scorsese's, this scene reminds him of Lu Xunzhong's depiction of the "iron house without windows", the Nanjing Massacre has been forgotten in the West, and Zhang Chunru is the one who broke the "iron house" and uncovered the truth.
