Chapter 800: A series of perfect scores

The students of Asia Film have been in the film market for a week, and they are quite familiar with the various data and knowledge of the Berlin Film Festival, so to speak, they are all stunned after knowing the score of "One Man Puts on the Lights".

In the past ten years, the highest-rated film in the Berlin Film Festival is "Blood is Coming", with a score of 3.5, which is called the "Citizen Kane" of the 21st century by many media, and now the score of "One Man Puts on the Light" is 3.9, which is 0.4 higher than "Blood is Coming", close to a full score, which is really amazing!

A flush of excitement appeared on the faces of the students, and they felt that they had won the game, and said excitedly: "Teacher Zhang, the score of the field magazine is close to a full score, the golden bear should be won!"

Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand, and said: "How can it be so easy, the house magazine has always been an anti-wind vane, and the movies with the first house list have won the highest award very few, and now they are almost a curse, and even a real masterpiece like "Blood is Coming" has been lost, so it may not be a good thing to get the first place in the house magazine!"

Zhou Xiaoxi said curiously: ""The Aviator" is the first in the field magazine, and it still won the Golden Lion!"

Zhang Jingchu, as the heroine of "The Aviator", still remembers everything that happened in Venice, so she said: ""The Aviator" is the second in the field magazine, and "Deep Sea Sleep" is the first, but "Deep Sea Sleep" lost to us. ”

Zhang Zili said firmly: "I have confidence in "One Person's Lights", if such a good movie can't win the Golden Bear Award, then there is still heavenly reason, is there a royal law?" Other students also said: "Yes, we have confidence in "One Person's Lights"!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "You little sycophants have confidence and it's useless, the key depends on whether the judges like it or not." If they don't like it, it's useless to score 100 points in the house book. Alright, let's eat it!"

After breakfast, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu returned to the room to clean up, and then took the crew to be interviewed by the media. Because there were too many media who wanted to interview the crew of "One Man Puts on the Lights", the public relations specially arranged a room for the media to wait, so that the media present had the feeling of seeing the interview.

The whole interview was a complete wheel war, with a change of newspaper office and a change of people in 15 minutes. However, after an hour of interviewing, the PR found that there were too many reporters to arrange at all, so it was compressed and only gave each reporter 10 minutes of interview time.

Whether it is in North America, or in Europe, in Asia, or in the Americas, adjectives such as "epic works", "master works", and "ultimate greatness" have appeared in an endless stream in the evaluation of "One Man Puts on the Lights" by well-known media in various countries, which has aroused great curiosity among fans from all over the world.

The Cinema Handbook is one of the world's most important film magazines, revering auteur films as well as innovation, and when The Aviator came out, they praised it and gave it a perfect score. This time, "One Person's Lights" not only reproduced the multi-part montage, but also went further, and naturally once again received the praise of the "Film Manual" and a full score.

The Handbook of Cinema's praise for "One Man's Lights" not only focuses on analyzing how Zhang Ran has recreated it, but also revolutionizes the almost lost cinematic vocabulary of multi-part montage, giving it a new charm. "Film Handbook" believes: "In "One Man's Lights", Lao Huang, Xiao Xiao and Steel Slag are the three voices of the film, and the open multi-perspective narrative brought by these three voices makes the whole film a multi-part trio of fate, and also provides the audience with the possibility of dialogue with the characters in the film. Zhang Ran did not tell a complete and closed story from the perspective of God, Lao Huang, Xiao Xiao, and Steel Slag are all independent individuals with consciousness, and the emotions, souls, and fates of the three are intertwined and collide with each other. In the movie, everyone is lonely, everyone is trying to get rid of loneliness, but in the end, everything seems to draw a circle, back to the original point, everyone is still lonely, or even more lonely.

In Zhang Ran's movies, the characters are always very lonely, whether it is Cao Lin trapped in time in "Time Prisoner", Zhou Xu in "Bursting Drummer", or Jason who became a madman in "Time and Space Warrior", and Qiao Zhengfei who struggled for the dream of flying in "The Aviator", this is the case, only "Tangshan Earthquake" is an exception. In these films full of loneliness, Zhang Ran has always been thinking about the relationship between people and society. The result of this thinking is finally clearly displayed in Zhang Ran's constantly experimental film language, turning all his thoughts into a symphony, blending with Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". At the end of the movie, when the camera pulls to the vast universe, when "Ode to Joy" echoes in the universe, the impact and shock brought to me by the movie are as if I saw dark clouds flying across the sky, but was suddenly illuminated by a ray of sunlight.

Zhang Ran's genius is unique, he has created an impossible cinema in which solitude is connected to hope, and he is forever looking for new paths, forging a calm, poetic and theoretical art. After Godard grew old, we finally had a director who insisted on experimenting and exploring the language of cinema. ”

At the end of the article, the "Film Handbook" praised: "One Man Puts on the Lights is the most adventurous film we have seen so far, and the film's shooting technique succeeds in creating a cold and lonely atmosphere, and the hardships of the various low-level characters are gradually revealed in the dutiful duty of the old policeman." Everyone in the movie is bitter, lonely, and helpless. However, at the end of the movie, less than one person is full of anticipation, "Ode to Joy" echoes in the universe, and Zhang Ran makes us see hope again in despair. The Ninth Symphony is undoubtedly great, and we see the same great feelings in One Man's Lights. This film is a dialogue between two great artists, spanning two hundred years of time and space, with music and pictures!"

"Seeing and Hearing" has always been a loyal supporter of Zhang Ran, even "Three Fools", a film that has suffered unprecedented bad reviews in Europe, "Seeing and Hearing" has given high praise, and this time they unsurprisingly gave "One Man Lights Colorful" a full score.

In addition to analyzing multi-part montage, the article "Seeing and Hearing" also devotes a lot of space to analyzing the composition of the film: "In the composition of the film, the compositional technique of hand-held shooting and oblique perspective can also be seen everywhere, especially in the description of the street, the living room, the barber shop and other environments, this irrational perspective expands the loneliness of the characters in the city and highlights the loneliness of the characters' hearts. The high-rise buildings of the city in the movie form a strong contrast with the loneliness of the characters. In the process of interacting with steel slag, this compositional technique keeps the already unstable relationship between the two in a state of crisis. In strong contrast, Lao Huang's lens uses a horizontal composition, which is particularly stable, giving people a sense of facing reality and being down-to-earth. It can be said that the camera movement of "One Man Puts on the Lights" does not emphasize the narrative effect of the traditional sense of starting and ending, the strong metaphorical color, strong modeling and emotional expression, make the whole movie a lonely man's song, and make the whole movie reveal a faint sentimental atmosphere. ”

"Variety" also gave a full score: "Zhang Ran's "A Man Puts on the Lights" is a classical symphony, the film shows a strong multi-part nature of the noise in the process of expressing the theme, from the individual to the two sexes to the society, through the incomprehension and difficulty of communication between different characters, from shallow to deep reveal the deep contradictions between people, and strongly reflect the inner loneliness and hardship of individuals in modern social life. ”

"Empire" has not been very popular with Zhang Ran in the past, but this time it unexpectedly gave a perfect score: "'One Man' is reminiscent of the works of the masters of the past, and they are the filmmakers that Zhang Ran admires so much: Akira Kurosawa, Hitchcock, and Bergman." A good movie should be like a good poem, giving people strength and nourishing the soul, so that our souls will not lose their way in the dark!

"Variety" also gave a full score: ""One Man Puts on the Lights" is a unique movie, in the movie you can harvest the most charming character portrayal since "The Great Conspiracy of Eavesdropping", Zhang Ran always let the characters slowly approach our hearts, and then capture our hearts, let us experience the joy, mystery and power brought by the movie, let us cry and laugh. It's a true masterpiece!"

In addition, Italy's "Film", France's "Feature Film", and Japan's "Film Shunbao" are all given with full marks. The New York Times called it "one of the extraordinary masterpieces of the century", and the Guardian newspaper called it "one of the best films of the last decade". "A Man with a Lamp", which was almost scolded by film critics in China, is now shining in Berlin and has won rave reviews.

Due to the high evaluation of "One Man's Lights" by the media and film critics, a large number of German audiences poured into the cinema that morning to see it, resulting in a shortage of movie tickets, and the organizing committee had to add three more shows, but they were sold out in less than half an hour. As a last resort, the organizing committee specially opened three more midnight performances.

The Chinese reporters in Berlin also quickly sent back to China the news that "One Man Shines the Light" in Berlin, what "sensational Berlin", what "highest score in history", what "praised by overseas media", in short, are extremely eye-catching headlines, after reading it, it makes people feel that Zhang Ran has won the Golden Bear Award.

These reports were quickly forwarded by netizens to major forums, igniting the enthusiasm of fans, especially Zhang Ran's fans.

A few days ago, "One Person's Lights" was scolded by many film critics, and now the movie has received rave reviews abroad, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu's fans suddenly felt angry, and while cheering and celebrating, they have gone to various film critics' Weibo and blogs to leave messages, all kinds of cynicism.

"I'm sorry, my family Zhang Ran is now the first in the house magazine, and it is a record-breaking score!"

"The Youth Film Handbook was born from the copycat "Film Handbook", and now the "Film Handbook" has given a full score to "One Person's Lights", Chen Qingsong, you copycat goods come out and take two steps!"

"Haha, slap your face! You can also become a film critic by posting movie resources on the Internet, the standard is really too low!"

"That is, the level of Chinese films is very low, and what is even lower than the level of Chinese films is the level of Chinese film critics!"

Chen Qingsong's gang was almost not angry, he was depressed in his heart, and he complained about those overseas media in his heart, what are you doing, Zhang Ran is a lackey of the government, such a person doesn't criticize him badly, you still praise him so much, what's so good about the broken film "One Man Puts on the Lights", have you made a mistake!

It's just that they don't have the confidence to talk to "Movie Manual" and "Seeing and Hearing", so they have pretended to be ostriches, turned off the comments on Weibo, and at most replied with a "not as knowledgeable as brainless fans".
