Bang bang bang
As the big screen dimmed, the lights in the screening room lit up, but the applause of the audience did not stop, but intensified, and everyone applauded vigorously at this moment. Aside from clapping, they didn't know what to use to express the shock in their hearts at this time.
The whole movie is so shocking, especially the final battle across six spaces is simply incomparable!
Many large-scale zuò movies are shocked by the scenes, they are hot actions, but the audience is not touched after watching them, and there is a lack of evocative things; a really good large-scale zuò movie should not only have exciting scenes, but more importantly, it should make people think and reminisce about the content, just like "The Matrix" The real moving thing is not the cool picture, but the thinking about the real and the virtual.
After watching the movie, many people are wondering if this world really exists in parallel space, and whether ghosts are really people in another space.
The Chinese reporters at the scene were particularly excited, and they naturally applauded, and they applauded harder than anyone else. Deep down, they all hope that Chinese movies will be good, and they can see domestic films shine in foreign lands, and they have a kind of excitement and pride in their hearts!
Our Chinese movies can also make this kind of real blockbuster!
Our Chinese movies can also make this kind of sci-fi blockbuster!
We can also make this kind of movie that is worth savoring, and the combination of artistry and commerciality is very perfect!
At this time, in addition to shock, everyone's hearts are full of eyebrows.
The actors of the crew all stood up, stood up and applauded in satisfaction, and hugged each other in celebration. When Zhang Ran invited East Asian filmmakers to watch the film last year, they all watched the movie, but at that time, the special effects of the movie had not yet been completed, and they still felt good, and now when they saw the full version, they also felt shocked and felt lucky that they were able to participate in this movie.
Quentin came over with applause and gave Zhang Ran a hug with excitement on his face: "You're a madman, but I like madness!" This is the most unbeatable sci-fi action movie I've ever seen, I love this movie to death!"
Zhang Ran responded with a smile: "Thank you, I also like your movie!"
Tsui Hark also walked over with a smile: "It's just right, I really didn't expect our Chinese directors to make such a sci-fi film!"
Zhang Ran greeted with a smile and said, "Thank you, Director Tsui Hark!"
Zhang Yimou, Park Chan-wook, and many people who knew Zhang Ran came to congratulate, and the scene in the entire screening hall was very warm.
When the crew members of "Time and Space Warriors" walked to the stage and thanked the audience, the applause of the scene broke out again, shouts and whistles rang out one after another, and the whole scene became a boiling ocean.
The thunderous applause lasted for nearly twenty minutes before stopping, during which the host tried to silence the audience, but the applause of the audience just refused to stop, and they were expressing their support for the film in the most direct way possible. Zhang Ran They could only bow to the audience again and again to express their gratitude to the audience.
During the festival, there is a press conference after the premiere of the film, and the film's creator will be interviewed by the media. For the media, being able to get the news they want, and for the film, it is a good thing for both parties to be able to effectively promote it.
There were a lot of reporters present at the press conference of "Time and Space Warrior", and the press conference hall on the third floor of the movie palace was crowded with people, and even the aisles were full of reporters. Everyone likes this movie so much that they hope to communicate with the creators of the movie and understand their mental journey.
Zhang Ran's eyes shone with confidence, and he said unhurriedly: "From the preparation of "Time and Space Warrior" to the present, it has been almost two years, during which we have spent a lot of effort and overcome countless difficulties. Seeing that everyone loved this movie, I felt that all the hard work was worth it!"
Then Luc Besson and the others also spoke separately and briefly talked about their views on the film.
The crew of "Time and Space Warrior" is star-studded, Zhang Ran's fame is the smallest, and in the movie, whether it is Reeves, Zhang Ziyi, or Brody, they all have extremely good performances, which left a deep impression on the audience, but after the question session, nearly half of the reporters' questions were directed at Zhang Ran.
It's not that the style of "Time and Space Warrior" is unique and strong, but that everyone didn't expect Chinese directors to make such cool sci-fi films. In the eyes of foreign journalists, China is a big rural area, poor and backward, dirty and messy, but Chinese image of ignorance and low-nature.
This is really not nonsense, a few years ago, Zhang Yimou made a movie "Something to Say" that reflected urban life. When Zhang Yimou brought the film to the Venice Exhibition and Competition, he was very much accommodated, and the foreign media asked him, is the prison in the film so advanced? Aren't your prisons all made of straw? In which country was your high-rise building filmed?
Most foreigners have never been to China, and they can only understand China through video materials. Over the years, what Chinese films have been able to go out of China is art films, and most of these films reflect China's poverty and backwardness, reflecting extreme human nature. Foreigners see the poor and backward side of China, so they will naturally think that China is what it looks like in the movie.
The same is true for most foreign journalists, who are obviously poor and backward in China, but now they suddenly make a film that is not inferior to Hollywood's top production, which is really unexpected, so they want to understand what is going on.
The first person to ask Zhang Ran was a reporter from the French newspaper Le Figaro: "Director Zhang Ran, first of all, I want to express to you my shock at the creativity of your film, the whole movie is simply unexpectedly wonderful." But this movie is not much different from Hollywood movies, I want to ask if this is a Hollywood movie, or a Chinese movie?"
This question is a concern for many people, and it is not surprising that Hollywood has made such a movie, but if it is a Chinese movie, it is really worth writing about!
Zhang Ran had already prepared for this, and replied: "This is a co-production, the story is Chinese, the funding mainly comes from China, the producer has Mr. Luc Besson from France, half of the actors are from North America, half are from China, and there are teams from more than ten countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, and Japan behind the scenes, which are completely multinational forces." I can tell you unequivocally, this is a Chinese movie!"
The second reporter stood up and asked: "Director Zhang Ran, I like this movie very much, I believe it will be a great success, and it will definitely attract the attention of Hollywood, I want to ask, have you ever thought about developing in Hollywood?"
Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head: "What do I do in Hollywood, work for the Big Six? I worked hard to make a movie, but I didn't even have the editing rights, and the final cut movie was not what I wanted at all, this is not what I wanted! Of course, the most important thing is that I am Chinese, and what I want to shoot is a Chinese story." The past of the Chinese, the present of the Chinese, the future of the Chinese, is Hollywood interested in these things? Not interested. I can't make the story I want in Hollywood!"
A reporter immediately asked: "But your movie is very Hollywood, and in essence, it is not much different from mainstream Hollywood commercial films." Is it good for Chinese films to make this kind of Hollywood-style film?"
Zhang Ran thought for a while and said: "To be honest, I really didn't think about this problem when I made a movie, I made this movie to make money, because only when I make money, can I shoot what I want to make." However, I think if "Time and Space Warrior" is successful, it will definitely be good for Chinese films. Before 02, Chinese films fell to the bottom, with an annual box office of only 900 million yuan, which is not as good as the income of a Hollywood. Due to the small number of audiences, the cinema was no longer able to operate and was converted into a dance hall. In 02, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was released, and the box office achieved shocking results, and countless people saw the potential of the Chinese film market, and now the number of screens in China is spreading on an astonishing scale. According to the current development trend, in 15 years, China will surpass the United States and become the world's largest ticket warehouse. ”
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, the scene was in an uproar!
How dare you say that!
Now China's box office is more than 100 million US dollars, while the US movie box office is close to 10 billion a year, which is a world of difference. Zhang Ran actually said that he surpassed the United States, this is simply a fool's dream!
Zhang Ran knew that the reporters didn't believe it, and said without hesitation: "But if we don't have our own big-scale movies, our own top science fiction films, and action movies, we will definitely not be able to hold this market, and we can only become a dumping ground for Hollywood." It is impossible to succeed in using pure art films and salon films to fight against Hollywood's aircraft carriers, and we should use production zuò to resist control zuò. After the success of "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, many directors have been driven to make costume blockbusters. If "Time and Space Warrior" can be successful, maybe it can drive more people to make big-scale science fiction movies, which is the benefit of Chinese films!"
At the same time as the press conference was underway, ordinary audiences who participated in the premiere of the movie left messages on the Internet, expressing their love for the movie.
The Cannes Film Festival does not sell tickets, and there are often very few people who can get an invitation to watch the film. "Time and Space Warrior" is star-studded, and many reporters can't get tickets, not to mention the audience, and there are very few ordinary fans who get the invitation.
Fortunately, "Time and Space Warriors" invited 60 viewers to the premiere, these people were selected from six different countries, and many netizens left them messages online before departure, hoping that they would share their feelings about watching the movie with everyone after watching the movie, so many of these 60 viewers brought their notebooks to Cannes.
When the film is over, they go back to the hotel, turn on their computers, go to forums in their respective countries, and describe their feelings after attending the premiere on the Internet.
"I just finished the premiere of the Cannes Film Festival and have finished watching "Time Warrior", which is an amazing film, imaginative, unparalleled. The movie is full of drag racing, fights, and all kinds of hot scenes, and it's extremely cool! Handsome, I've never seen such a handsome action movie!"
"The film is full of speeding cars, chases, and all kinds of action scenes, which make people's blood boil. Keanu is extremely good, not only does he play very well, but he also plays very well in this movie, and I burst into tears when I watched a few scenes! It can be said that in this movie, Keanu is not a star, but a real actor!"
"I just watched "Time Warrior", it's so cool, it's completely beyond imagination! But the real charm of this movie is that the director has built a brutal and convincing future world, and the whole movie is a perfect fusion of Eastern and Western cultures!"
Wu Wenbo also wrote down his feelings in the gossip of the world: "From now on, who dares to say that China can't make science fiction films, Lao Tzu is in a hurry with him!" (To be continued.) )
