Next chapter

There is never a shortage of beautiful faces in the entertainment industry, and there is never a shortage of actors with excellent acting skills, but no matter how beautiful they are, their acting skills are excellent, and without the blessing of good works, it is impossible to stand out. ¥f, it's too important for an actor to meet a good director.

is like Gong Li, when she was casting in "Red Sorghum", she had an opponent Shi Ke. The conditions of the two people were good, and Zhang Yimou couldn't make up his mind, so he finally decided by tossing a coin, and fate chose Gong Li. If the coin was the other side of the coin, perhaps it would have been Shi Ke who became an international superstar.

Zhang Jingchu naturally understands this, if she hadn't met Zhang Ran, she might still be a penniless little actor. After all, in this circle, she has better acting skills and is much more beautiful than her.

However, Zhang Jingchu didn't want Zhang Ran to be too proud, and said disdainfully: "Narcissist!"

"It's not narcissism, it's self-confidence as a director. In fact, it's not wrong to say that it's narcissistic, directors are basically narcissists and feel that their works are the best. Zhang Ran stretched out his hand to hook Zhang Jingchu's chin, and said with a smile, "Little girl, I'll be mixed with Director Zhang Da in the future!"

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "Okay, Director Zhang, but when will I shoot a big heroine play?"

The so-called play of the big heroine is a play centered on the female role, and if the actress wants to come out, she must take over the play of the big heroine and appear in the play centered on her, not to make soy sauce for the male leads, and only this type of work is enough for people to play.

For example, the current weekly news, although it is one of the four little flowers, is the weakest among the four, and the works are mainly based on TV dramas. However, after she joined Huayi, she starred in several movies of "Li Mi's Conjecture", "Painted Skin", and "The Wind", and she got up all of a sudden.

Fan Binbin has been taking the vase route, but she also knows that her partner Li Yu will star in a movie with the heroine as the core. After she won the Tokyo Film Festival, her whole career immediately took a step forward.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Then it depends on your watch? In this way, let's do a pole dance for this director first!"

"I hate it, I won't jump!" Zhang Jingchu punched Zhang Ran and asked with a smile, "To be serious, apart from Zhang Ziyi's route, can I take any other route?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said: "Your mouth feels pouted, it looks very cute, soften the upper line when you put on makeup, it has the feeling of a girl next door, it looks fresh and natural, "Burst Drummer" is like this, it's good for you to take the literary route, but this road is more difficult to walk, and the opponent is stronger than Zhang Ziyi!"

Zhang Jingchu said puzzledly: "No, who will be stronger than Zhang Ziyi?"

Zhang Ran explained: "Xu Jinglei is on this road, if you take this road, you will collide with her." Xu Jinglei herself is not very powerful, but behind her is Wang Shuo, and it is the entire Beijing circle. Zhang Yimou has been hacked into carbon over the years, who is hacking him? It is the Beijing circle! Therefore, Zhang Yimou named these people Shouwenjie. These people aren't easy to mess with!"

The so-called Beijing circle is a circle formed with the children of the Beiping courtyard as the core, these people are well-born, pretentious, and feel that they are particularly awesome, they were very active in the 80s and 90s, and now most of them have retreated to the background. However, their influence is still there, and their energy is amazing, not to mention Feng Xiaogang in this circle, even Wang Zhongjun is just a younger brother.

Zhang Jingchu has been in the entertainment industry for a few years, it is impossible not to even know the Beijing circle, she knows that these people have a lot of energy, just like Zhang Ran said, Zhang Yimou has been hacked into carbon by them, and it is quite unwise to provoke these people: "Actually, I don't want to fight with others, how boring it is to grab my head and bleed, isn't there a route that doesn't require you to live and die?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said: "Then we can only take the route that others have not taken, and according to the conditions and resources in our hands, we can take the high-end fashion route." We are friends with Galliano, and when we were in Cannes, he invited us to participate in this year's Paris Fashion Week! He is a god-level figure in the fashion industry, and it is easy to gain a foothold in the fashion circle with him. This is something that no other star in the country has, and no one can compete with us!"

Zhang Jingchu asked, "What about the movie?"

Zhang Ran frowned and said: "This is the trouble part, it is best to take the fashion route to make more fashionable movies, but there are almost no domestic directors who can shoot this kind of theme." There are a few directors in Xiangjiang who can shoot, but you also know that I don't deal with director Xiangjiang too much, you are my girlfriend, and they will definitely not cooperate with you. If you take this route, you can only continue to follow us to make science fiction films. However, the cost of science fiction films is high, and male stars are needed to carry the box office, and female characters are relatively weak. But after four or five years, things will change, and then we should have set up our own circle, and then we can give you enough support no matter which line you want to take. ”

It was the first time for Zhang Jingchu to hear Zhang Ran talk about his plan, and she couldn't help asking, "What kind of circle do you want to build?"

Zhang Ran did not hide it: "I used to want to make a film ecosystem, from the production of films to the distribution, to the surrounding screening, to ensure that my films are seen by more audiences." Now I have a bunch of students who have worked hard to teach them for four years, and I definitely hope that they will make it to the next level, so I hope that my system can give more opportunities to newcomers. ”

To build such a system, the most important thing is money. This concept of money is not hundreds of thousands of millions, but it is possible to make an effect in hundreds of millions, and it has to burn money like Tencent and Ali after they entered the movie.

Zhang Ran needs money, a lot of money, that's why he made "Time Warriors", and he bought "Fahrenheit 911" from Harvey, he knew that doing so would bring a lot of trouble, but he needed money.

Zhang Jingchu knows how difficult it is for new actors to come out, and it would be great if there was really such a system, and said sincerely: "I really hope this day will come soon!"

On July 9th, after nearly three months of shooting, the last shot was finally shot that afternoon.

Zhang Ran repeatedly checked the screen of the monitor, and asked about the recording and photography, and the answer was that there was no problem.

Zhang Ran stood up, looked at everyone's expectant eyes, took a breath, and tried to speak in a calm voice, but after he spoke, there was an obvious trill: "This shot is over, "The Aviator" is finished!" After speaking, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and applauded vigorously.

As soon as Zhang Ran's words fell, all the crew broke out into earth-shattering cheers, this drama was originally planned to be filmed in two months, but the filming stopped, and the filming lasted for nearly three months, and now it is finally finished.

During the filming of the movie, although there were no major problems, there were constant small twists and turns. People who have experienced a qiē from beginning to end have more experience of this movie, and the whole filming process of the movie is unforgettable.

Zhang Ran was laughing, but tears fell from his laughter. In the past, he read Ang Lee's biography, and when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar, he hugged the producer and cried, which was incomprehensible at the time, so he couldn't be so excited, but now, he completely understands.

In his last life, when he was in college, he saw the cartoon of "The Aviator", and at that time he decided that he would definitely make a movie if he had the opportunity in the future. From then to now, it has been more than ten years, and it has been two lifetimes. In the process, he drew tens of thousands of storyboards, designed countless shots, and went through many hardships. Now that the movie is finally finished, he really can't suppress his feelings!

Almost all the crew members are old men who have followed Zhang Ran to shoot several dramas, in their hearts Zhang Ran is as firm as a warrior, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, he never dreamed that Zhang Ran would shed tears, they were all stunned, what's wrong?

Only Zhang Jingchu knew how much Zhang Ran had watched this movie, so she walked over, hugged Zhang Ran, and comforted: "The movie is finished, we should be happy!"

Zhang Ran patted her back and smiled: "I'm just so happy!"

At this time, Zhao Fei walked over and gave Zhang Ran a hug: "Zhang Ran, thank you! Thank you for letting me participate in this movie, he is so unique, this will be the pride of my life!"

Although the film has not yet been fine-cut and the picture has not yet been cut to 4:3, with the rough cut and color grading that is now completed, he knows what a great film it is. A large number of panning lenses, telephoto lenses, overexposures and backlighting make the whole movie look extremely crazy, but at the same time it has an extraordinary charm.

With the development of film to the present, the film language has been quite mature, and it is difficult to make any breakthroughs, and directors often fight for personal styles. Just like Ang Lee and Wong Kar-wai, Ang Lee definitely beats Wong Kar-wai whether it is awards or box office, but Wong Kar-wai's ranking in various movie lists is much higher than Ang Lee, for example, Wong Kar-wai ranks first among the biggest directors of the 21st century selected by TSPDT.

The reason is simple, Ang Lee's films are close to the mature Hollywood set, with few breakthroughs in aesthetic form and style, while Wong Kar-wai has made his own aesthetically from the beginning.

The reason why Zhao Fei attaches so much importance to this movie is because the personal style of the movie is too strong!

"Don't say that, if you didn't join, our movie wouldn't be able to shoot this kind of Cheng dù. Zhang Ran said very sincerely. This is really not an exaggeration, without Zhao Fei's assistance, this film would not have achieved the current effect.

After hugging Zhao Fei, Zhang Ran hugged the crew members one by one with gratitude: "It's been hard in the past few months, and without you, the filming of the movie wouldn't have gone so smoothly." ”

"Director, don't say that, it's my honor to be able to make a movie with you!"

"Zhang Ran, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must cooperate again!"

"Director, I think our film can win an award!"

The release time of "Time and Space Warrior" in China is July 15th, and now it is only a few days away from the release, and the domestic media has always maintained a high degree of attention to the crew of "Aviator", and there are reporters squatting every day in the hotel where they live, so as soon as "Aviator" is announced, the media will know about it.

After the media learned the news, they reported it one after another, and even began to discuss whether "The Aviator" would create a miracle like "Burst Drummer" in the Chinese New Year!

"Zhang Ran's new film "Aviator" is finished, and the promotion of "Time and Space Warrior" is on the agenda!"

Zhang Ran's self-directed and self-starred movie "The Aviator" was completed, Zhang Ran said that it was very interesting to be the leading actor in a movie for the first time, and he was very happy for three months. ”

"This year's Lunar New Year file already has Feng Xiaogang's "No Thieves in the World" and Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", if Zhang Ran's "Aviator" also enters the Lunar New Year, then this year's Lunar New Year file will be the most fierce Chinese New Year file in the history of China. ”

Major media believe that Zhang Ran's next focus will be on the promotion of "Time and Space Warrior", which is of course true, "Time and Space Warrior" will be released soon, and it must be vigorously promoted. But before that, there is still a very important thing waiting for Zhang Ran to do, the report performance of the 01 form. (To be continued.) )
