Scarlett Johansson, of course, knows that "2001: A Space Odyssey" and that since its inception, movies have been considered the pinnacle of science fiction films. The film maintained Kubrick's usual viewing and achieved super high box office returns after its release, but the film was extremely obscure, and countless viewers claimed that they could not understand it.

After hearing that "2001: A Space Odyssey" had a similar experience, Scarlett Johansson's eyes lit up: "Are you saying that the media doesn't comment on "Future Apocalypse", but they don't understand the movie and don't know how to comment on it?"

Robert De Niro nodded: "Yes, so many media have conducted interviews, it is impossible not to have a movie review." I can't think of any other reason than not knowing how to comment. Didn't Zhang Ran say it, the structure of the movie is a Chow Chow structure, and North American reporters don't know what a Chow Chow is, so they naturally can't understand it. Naturally, they won't comment lightly until they understand it. ”

Zhang Ran heard Robert De Niro say Song Ci as a Chow Chow, with a black line, and corrected: "It's Song Ci, not Chow Chow!" He was a little skeptical of Robert De Niro's words, he did knead a lot of concepts and ideas into the movie, the amount of information is very large, and the audience can't see everything at once, but the movie is not incomprehensible, so he said: "Are you so sure?"

Robert De Niro said, "Yes, I'm pretty sure!"

At this moment, Zhang Ran's mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up and saw that it was from the office of the organizing committee of the film festival, he quickly connected: "Is something wrong?"

"Mr. Zhang, a group of foreign reporters came to the organizing committee office, and they said that they didn't understand a lot of things in "Future Apocalypse", and they had to watch it several times before they could write a movie review, and they asked us to add a show!"

At film festivals, it's nothing new to add screenings to films that have received an overwhelming response. However, it is generally the audience who asks for additional screenings of the movie, and it is very rare for the media to take the initiative to request additional screenings. Zhang Ran glanced at Robert De Niro, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, which really made Lao Luo right. He immediately said: "You can contact the cinema and arrange two extra shows for the reporters!"

At the same time, in the city government office, Mayor Xu Liquan sat in front of the computer to check the relevant media reports on the festival.

The opening of the festival was reported in the domestic media, and even the People's Daily wrote an article praising the successful opening of the festival. "People's Daily" even said: "Although the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is a C-class film festival and is only the first time, the steady growth and vigorous development of China's economy have made the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival full of confidence." ”

Compared with the domestic media, Xu Liquan is more concerned about the reaction of foreign media. He searched through a search engine and found that overseas media invariably expressed high praise when reporting on the film festival, and the influence and radiation of the film festival on a global scale have been unanimously affirmed by foreign media.

Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao pointed out in an article titled "International Superstars Will Gather at Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival" that with the eastward shift of the world's economic center of gravity and the rapid development of China's film market, China's attraction to international film celebrities has risen. Director Cameron, Fox Film Company CEO James and other global film bigwigs have come to Lin'an.

The Los Angeles Times commented that there are all kinds of signs that although the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is still in its infancy, it has narrowed the distance between it and the top international film festivals in the shortest possible time.

The New York Times bluntly said that everything at the opening ceremony of the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is a concentrated embodiment of the organizer's international vision and lofty ambitions.

In addition, well-known foreign media such as the Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, and Deutsche Presse have praised the film festival and unanimously recognized the festival's global influence, radiation, and international vision and mind.

Seeing the praise of the film festival by overseas media, Xu Liquan was not only excited, but also slightly relieved. After the provincial government, the municipal government and Century Summit jointly launched a film subsidy program, it caused a lot of criticism. Many people questioned that this was a waste of taxpayers' money, and the city government was under a lot of pressure as a result.

In fact, Xu Liquan knew that the introduction of the subsidy scheme might attract criticism, but the city government decided to do so anyway. Cannes, a small town in France, has become world-famous because of the film festival, and if the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival can be successful, then Lin'an can also get such an opportunity to make Lin'an internationally renowned and become a world-famous city.

Now it seems that this plan has been very successful, not only attracting a large number of film companies and filmmakers to participate in the festival, but also widely reported by overseas media that Lin'an will become the Hollywood of the East.

After a brief browsing, Xu Liquan picked up the phone and prepared to call Zhang Ran to congratulate the repercussions caused by the film festival. But he quickly put it down again, Zhang Ran should be busy with the film festival now, forget it, don't bother him!

In fact, Zhang Ran was really busy, and in addition to being interviewed by the media all morning, he also found time to attend the premiere of the movie "Ring Messenger". At the three major film festivals, the premiere of each competition film will be attended by the chairman of the festival in person to show his attention. As the founder of the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival, Zhang Ran must be cheered for these films. In the afternoon, Zhang Ran appeared at the press conference of Zhang Yimou joining the peak of the century.

A few months ago, after the contradiction between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping was exposed, everyone knew that the two Zhang would definitely break up, and they all thought that Zhang Yimou would join the pinnacle of the century. Zhang Yimou has a very good relationship with Zhang Ran, and Zhang Yimou won the coveted Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, relying on Zhang Ran's script. For Zhang Yimou, there is no more suitable collaborator than Zhang Ran. Therefore, no reporter was surprised that Zhang Yimou joined the pinnacle of the century, and they all took it for granted.

At the press conference, when Zhang Yimou took the stage in red and white casual clothes, the audience applauded for a long time. Zhang Yimou took out the draft of the pre-prepared number and began to speak: "The cooperation with the peak of the century marks the end of my long-term disorderly and non-standard cooperation model in the past, and the beginning of scientific and standardized cooperation with the professional team. ”

Before the words fell, the audience laughed, and the reporters all knew that Zhang Yimou's words meant something, and he was fighting back against his old partner Zhang Weiping's smear against him. Everyone said that a few days ago, Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting had three children, and Zhang Weiping exposed it, and it was natural for Zhang Yimou to fight back.

When Zhang Yimou talked about why he cooperated with the peak of the century, he solemnly said: "I have known Zhang Ran for many years, worked together for the Olympic Games, and also cooperated with "Love" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". In addition, I like the positioning of the pinnacle of the century - Internet + film company. Under the influence of the Internet, some traditional rules of Chinese films are being rewritten, visible and immeasurable changes are taking place, and a new era of rapid change has arrived. I hope that this new model can bring me more creative space, richer creative inspiration and stronger creative support, so that I can eliminate bad distractions, seek truth from facts, work hard, and start a new stage of life, which will be a new stage of health, vitality and creativity!"

Zhang Ran knew that Zhang Yimou didn't like to deal with the media, and dealing with the media was a painful thing for him. Many TV reporters wanted Zhang Yimou to say to the camera like other celebrities, "Please watch the XX column of XX station", but he refused to die. Once the female editor and director of a certain TV station pestered Zhang Yimou and begged him when the interview ended, hoping that he would say a word, but Zhang Yimou put on a face that was even more pitiful than the female director and asked her for forgiveness, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Now that Zhang Yimou has joined the pinnacle of the century, Zhang Ran naturally won't let him do what he doesn't want to do. After the press conference, Zhang Ran let Zhang Yimou leave, and he stayed alone to be interviewed by reporters.

In the process of the interview, Zhang Ran clarified many rumors against Zhang Yimou, answered the reporter's questions, and said: "The cooperation between Century Summit and Zhang Yimou follows professionalism, Zhang Yimou is the director, responsible for creation, just do a good job as a director, and other work, such as publicity and distribution, has a professional team to be responsible!"

After the press conference, a reporter contacted Zhang Weiping by phone and asked him what he thought of Zhang Yimou joining the peak of the century. Zhang Weiping said unceremoniously: "The new picture not only owns the film copyright, but also has the legitimacy of all the actors who signed contracts with the new picture company, Dou Xiao, Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni, etc. are still the productivity of the new picture, and the film resources and production strength are obvious to all, and the company will not turn because of the absence of Zhang Yimou." New Picture will continue to make films and become an international standard management company. Next, there will be big moves in the new screen, so just wait!"

Zhang Weiping's words have aroused a lot of reverie among the media and netizens, and they have speculated about what Zhang Weiping's big move is, what kind of black material is Zhang Yimou, or cooperating with big domestic and foreign film companies?

No matter what Zhang Weiping's big move is, everyone believes that the grievances between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping are not over yet, and the show has just begun.

Zhang Ran didn't care about Zhang Weiping's cruel words, and didn't believe that Zhang Weiping could set off any waves. Zhang Weiping can be prosperous in the film industry, relying on Zhang Yimou's golden signboard, without Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping has no right to speak in the circle, and it is not worth mentioning.

Early the next morning, the conference hall of the Zhijiang Hotel was crowded with Chinese and foreign reporters. Everyone received the news that Century Summit has a very important press conference here, which, according to the propagandists, will shake the entire industry. Reporters were very curious about this and asked what was going on and whether it would really shake the entire industry.

"Does anyone have inside information? If so, let me tell you, it won't be any international director who wants to join the pinnacle of the century, right?"

"In addition to signing Cameron, I can't think of any director who can shake the entire industry when he joins the peak of the century! But Cameron can't sign a contract with any company, he has always negotiated with a project film company and selected the most suitable collaborator from them, so that he can control the film!"

At this moment, a reporter ostentatiously said: "It's not about signing a contract with a director, it's much better than signing a contract with a director!" Let me tell you this, this press conference will not only shake the entire industry, but may even reshuffle the entire film industry!"

When the surrounding reporters heard it, they knew that this person had inside information, and hurriedly asked: "Damn, Lao Zhang, don't sell the guanzi, what kind of domestic demand news can you say directly!"

"That's right, don't sell it, if you have any inside information, tell me quickly!"

The reporter named Lao Zhang smiled and said in a low voice: "Do you still remember how Huayi collapsed? Century Summit United and many film and television companies, theaters, and television stations slowly drove Huayi to death. This time, the peak of the century is about to form an alliance again, and the objects of the alliance are large film and television groups such as China Film and Shanghai Film, and their target this time is Wanda!"

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding reporters were stunned, if this news is true, it is really big news that shocks the entire industry!
