Lu Yang finished attending the film festival's cocktail party and returned home, which was already a little closer. He walked into the room lightly, turned on the computer, sat down in his chair, and thought about what had happened today.

At the celebration reception, Lu Yang chatted with Han Sanping for a long time. Han Sanping has watched his "Blind Cinema", and he also appreciates this movie very much, and is willing to invest in "Embroidered Spring Knife". Han Shanping said that from the perspective of commercial films, "Embroidered Spring Knife" has many flaws, and the Film Bureau is recently preparing to arrange some directors to go to Summit Entertainment to study, and he hopes that Lu Yang will also go, and hopes that Lu Yang will start making movies after studying in Hollywood.

The script of "Embroidered Spring Knife" has been written for more than a year, but he has never been able to find investment, Lu Yang did not expect that after signing up for the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival, he not only attracted investment, but was also arranged to study in Hollywood, which is like a dream. Lu Yang remembers that a buddy who entered the top ten told him that his script had been rejected by several companies before, and those companies also came to the venture capital meeting, and then found him and said that he was very interested, but it was actually the original script.

For many film companies, how could the script handled by Zhang Ran be bad!

It's so right to participate in the venture capital meeting of the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival!

Lu Yang opened Weibo, and the page was refreshed, and he was suddenly stunned. Weibo seems to have been swiped, and it is almost the same sentence. Weibo was posted by Ning Hao, and then replied by many directors.

At this moment, Lu Yang's heart paused slightly, and then beat more violently, and at the same time, a warm current flowed through his body with his blood, making his blood boil. He suddenly remembered what Xie Hang said at the closing ceremony, there are so many people like himself here who are working hard for Chinese films, and he suddenly feels that he is not lonely, he is really not lonely at all!

Ning Hao's Weibo is extremely simple, with only one sentence: "I, Ning Hao is a commercial film director!"

Behind Ning Hao's Weibo, followed by a long list of directors' replies, their replies were almost the same words: "I, Feng Xiaogang is a commercial film director!"

"I, Ding Sheng is a commercial film director!

"I, Wu Ershan is a commercial film director!

"I, Guo Zijian is a commercial film director!

"I, Yang Qing is a commercial film director! I'm proud of it!"

……

In addition to Ning Hao and other well-known directors, many young directors who participated in the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival, as well as young directors who did not participate in the film festival, also stood up and shouted out their inner voices.

"I, Xin Yukun is a commercial film director!

"I, Tian Yusheng is a commercial film director! I am proud of it!"

"I, Zhang Zipei is a commercial film director!

"I, Guo Fan is a commercial film director!

"I, Wang Shichao is a commercial film director!

……

Lu Yang took a deep breath, he has been running around for the investment in "Embroidered Spring Knife" for more than a year, and many people who know him hear that he is going to make a commercial movie, but the movie has not yet come out, so they say, "Ouch, Lu Yang has fallen! I want to make a commercial film!" Therefore, a young director like him does not dare to say that I like to make commercial films, because if I say it, I will be looked down upon.

Lu Yang felt that Zhang Ran was particularly right, Hitchcock, John Ford, and Kurosawa were all directors of commercial films, and even Kubrick's films were mostly commercial films, aren't their films artistic?

What's particularly funny is that many people look down on commercial films, but they like to talk about "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive", in fact, these two movies are standard commercial films, written according to the standard model of Hollywood popular dramas. The screenwriters of both films are Reed, and Reed started by studying Hollywood genre films.

Commercial movies are not a derogatory term, but bad commercial movies are, and commercial movies can carry a lot of high-end elements! Hitchcock's films are like this, and so are Zhang Ran's films! This is the case with "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive", and the same is true for "The Aviator" and "A Man with a Lantern"!

More than 20 years ago, director Zhang Huaxun was violently attacked by critics after filming "The Mysterious Buddha" and "Wulin Zhi", and he once angrily asked, is making entertainment films considered exploration? No one answered his question, only more fierce criticism, and in the end he had to make literary films instead.

But now it's different, the standard-bearer of Chinese films is Zhang Ran, and now he stands up and shouts that I am proud of commercial films, and then Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, and many directors who like commercial films have stood up and shouted out their hearts.

More than 40 years ago, the American film industry was at a low ebb, and a large number of filmmakers from the golden age announced their retirement due to the recession of the film industry. Under these circumstances, a new generation of filmmakers, under the leadership of Coppola, the young George Lucas, Scorsese and Spielberg and others, set off a vigorous revolution, and finally the old Hollywood died out, and the new Hollywood has since stepped onto the stage of history. It was this revolution that brought Hollywood out of its predicament and quickly swept the world, still dominating the film market around the world to this day, and has a huge influence on the development of the film industry.

Now that Chinese films have their own leading big brother, the young filmmakers around him have stood up, and the object of everyone's revolution this time is the outdated concept that has ruled Chinese films for more than 30 years: "People are proud of making art films and ashamed of making commercial films".

It's a revolution! a revolution in the notion that discriminates against commercial films!

Lu Yang knows that the concept of "being proud of making art films and ashamed of making commercial films" has ruled Chinese films for nearly 30 years, not only in the film theory circles, but also in the hearts of film writers, directors, photographers and other departments, and it is impossible to reverse it in a short period of time. But at least after today, young directors like him will no longer feel inferior to make commercial films, and anyone can say that I like to make commercial films, and I am proud of it!

Even Zhang Ran stood up and shouted, I am proud of commercial films! What do I have to be afraid of!

With passionate emotions, Lu Yang clicked on Weibo and typed out the same text as everyone: "I, Lu Yang is a commercial film director!"

The headlines of the entertainment section of the domestic media early the next morning were all reports of the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival. Many media have mentioned Zhang Ran's words in their reports, but they have not commented on it.

Only "Chinese Screen" published an article "Zhang Ran: A Banner of Chinese Films", which reads: "At the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony in 08, director Xie Jin entrusted Chinese films to Zhang Ran. At that time, many people were quite skeptical of this, thinking that Zhang Ran was too young to bear such a burden. But so far, Director Xie Jin's choice is too correct. The Asian Film Academy Awards founded by Zhang Ran has become the most concerned film award in Asia, the Asian Film Academy has become the cradle of genre film directors, and the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival he founded this year has not only attracted the attention of the world, but also young directors such as Lu Yang and Tian Yusheng are also attracting the attention of the industry through the film festival's venture capital platform......

At the end of the article, he concluded: "Zhang Ran has gathered a large number of outstanding young filmmakers, and this kind of modern film group army established with the elite of the national film industry as the main body and the peak of the century as the core is the elite division that we compete with Hollywood films for the world, and Zhang Ran, who created all this, is worthy of the banner of Chinese films!"

To the surprise of many, the critics remained silent about it, and no one spoke at all, as if they hadn't seen it. In fact, it's not that they want to be silent, but that there is no way to deal with Zhang Ran.

If they say that Zhang Ran's film is not artistic, the academic and critical giants like Baldwell and Nick James will definitely disagree, and neither will the judges of the Oscars and the three major film festivals. Just like a few years ago, the critics criticized Zhang Ran's "One Man Shines with Lights", and as a result, the film not only won the Silver Bear, but also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, and was even hailed as the best film of the new century.

If you talk about theories with Zhang Ran, you are completely self-deprecating and humiliating, and Zhang Ran's research on film theory is really not comparable to them. Now the critics still pull Bazin out when they write articles, and Bazin is a figure from fifty or sixty years ago. They have little knowledge of the latest film theories, and if they talk to Zhang Ran, they will definitely expose their shortcomings.

For Zhang Ran, they can't talk about art, they can't drag theory, they can only afford to hide, and they just don't see Zhang Ran's words. But they are still quite unconvinced by this, they can't afford to provoke Zhang Ran, can't we afford to provoke your little brother, wait and see, when their movie comes out, scold them to death!

Zhang Ran was quite disappointed by this, these people were too cowardly, and they didn't even have the courage to come out to debate!

After the successful conclusion of the film festival, Zhang Ran did not give himself a holiday, and soon began to re-edit "Future Apocalypse". Since Zhang Ran is preparing to launch the director's cut version after the movie is released, and the director's cut version is dozens of minutes longer than the release version, these extra shots are all made, and there is no need to redo special effects. But even then, it takes time, because in addition to editing, the soundtrack of the film needs to be adjusted accordingly.

It has been more than 20 days since the official release of "Future Apocalypse", and the time is relatively tight, Zhang Ran plunged into the editing room, devoted himself to re-cutting, and did not have the time to pay attention to the dynamics of the outside world. He didn't know that a storm was coming, and he directly received a call from Gao Jun.

"Mr. Zhang. Gao Jun's voice trembled a little, "Something's wrong, something big!"

Zhang Ran snorted, Gao Jun said something big, it must be a big deal. He felt a strong uneasiness welling up in his heart and asked, "What happened?"

Gao Jun said anxiously: "Someone broke the news on the Internet that the leak of the source of "Future Apocalypse" was done by insiders of the General Administration. ”

Zhang Ran frowned, "Future Apocalypse" was indeed leaked out from the General Administration, and the General Administration is also investigating now, but the results have not yet come out. The peak of the century did not make this news public, because it did not want anyone with a heart to attack the General Administration in the name of "Future Apocalypse". But even if this news comes out, it's not a big deal, it's a fact. He couldn't help but say, "It's not a big deal, is it?"

Gao Jun hurriedly said: "After this news spread, the Internet exploded, and many netizens were indignant and scolded the General Administration, and then someone secretly instigated your fans to attack the official website of the General Administration." More than ten minutes ago, the official website of the General Administration was hacked, and the computer ticketing system of the General Administration was also attacked, and the attackers claimed to be fans of you and Future Apocalypse!"

"What!" Hearing this, Zhang Ran's face changed instantly, and he suddenly realized that the other party's attack on the film festival's ticketing system and the leakage of film sources was not to prevent the film festival from proceeding, and when the matter fermented, it was their real purpose to attack the official website and ticketing system of the General Administration in the name of fans!

Fan behavior, idols pay! This trick is really too damn and insidious!
