There are different opinions in the industry about why Wang Jianlin sold Wanda's shares and why he gave up the position of the largest shareholder, and all kinds of rumors are flying on the Internet.

Zhang Jingchu was also very puzzled by this, and asked Zhang Ran: "Wang Jianlin owes 300 billion to the bank, some are long-term debts, some are short-term debts, Wan Da has repaid nearly 200 billion, most of the debts have been cleared, there is no need to sell Wan Da's shares?"

Zhang Ran explained: "The three major international rating agencies have rated Wanda as junk, and it is almost impossible for Wanda to borrow money from overseas, so he can only borrow money from domestic banks; Wang Jianlin thought so, I sold the other assets and kept the core commercial real estate. I owe 300 billion, and I repay 200 billion to the bank, which shows that I have the ability to repay, there is no problem with the operation of the enterprise, and the domestic bank can continue to lend me money, and the Wanda crisis will be resolved. But what Wang Jianlin didn't expect was that after repaying the 200 billion, he found that the bank was unwilling to lend him any more, but instead tightened his money bag and urged him to pay back the remaining 100 billion. At this time, Wanda basically has no money in his hands, and for a real estate company like Wanda, there is not enough cash, which means that there is no hematopoietic function. At this time, what can Wanda do? If he carries it hard, Wanda will definitely go bankrupt, and he will have to sell his shares!"

Zhang Jingchu asked: "Wanda has repaid the loan, why didn't the bank lend it to him?"

Zhang Ran exhaled lightly and said: "Because Wanda is very fat, many people want to kill Wanda and eat meat, domestic companies, overseas funds, etc." Some of them have a lot of energy, and secretly don't let the bank lend money to Wanda, and they push Wanda into a desperate situation. Wang Jianlin also completely understood, so he gave up the position of the largest shareholder to the national team and let the national team protect himself. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jingchu knew that the rumors on the Internet were true, and at the same time, she also remembered some rumors about Zhang Ran and the peak of the century, and immediately became worried. She hesitated, but still spoke: "I saw that many people on the Internet said, don't look at Zhang Ran's dancing happily now, Wang Jianlin's today is his tomorrow." They also said that from ancient times to the present day in China, none of the big businessmen died well. ”

In fact, Zhang Jingchu's worries are justified, after all, even Ma Yun once said that Chinese entrepreneurs will not end well. In fact, Shen Wansan and Hu Xueyan in ancient times, Huang Guangyu and Chu Shijian in modern times were all unlucky because of money. In China, there can be no one behind the development of a private enterprise to such a scale as the peak of the century; of course, there are people behind the peak of the century, and the power is very strong. But the problem is that the power behind the peak of the century cannot remain strong, and when this force declines, the peak of the century may be in trouble.

However, Zhang Ran was very calm about this and comforted: "Don't think nonsense, believe those conspiracy theories on the Internet." Ma Yun once said that if one day the country needs Alipay, I would never think that I would give all this company to the country in one second. The same is true for me, if one day, the country wants me to hand over the peak of the century, I will not hesitate to hand it over. In addition to the peak of the century, I have a stake in Fly, and there are other investments overseas. This money is enough for you mother and daughter to live the best life, and it can also allow me to make the movies I want to make. So, there's really no need to worry about it, I'm going to be fine!"

Zhang Jingchu took Zhang Ran's hand and said with tears streaming down her face: "I don't care about anything else, what I care about most is you and Xiaoxiao, as long as you are safe, I will be satisfied, and everything else doesn't matter!"

Zhang Ran felt that Zhang Jingchu's reaction was a little excessive, and her mood was a little abnormal, and she realized that it should be caused by reading a lot of materials about the Nanjing Massacre. Ordinary people go to visit the Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre, and their mood often becomes low and bad after they come out, not to mention reading relevant materials for a long time like Zhang Jingchu.

Zhang Ran was afraid that Zhang Jingchu's psychology would be affected, so he made a hard rule for her, that she could not read relevant materials for more than two hours a day, and that she should receive psychological counseling once a week. But obviously, Zhang Jingchu's mood was still affected.

Zhang Ran took Zhang Jingchu in his arms and kissed her, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." He added: "Jingchu, I feel that you have some emotional problems. For the next two weeks you have to give yourself a break from reading about the Holocaust and not thinking about the show, and have a good rest for two weeks. ”

Zhang Jingchu immediately said: "I'm fine, I'm in a good mood." ”

Zhang Ran said very resolutely: "The authorities are confused, there are some things that you can't feel, and you must listen to me about this." ”

Zhang Jing saw Zhang Ran's resolute attitude for the first time, and knew that it was useless for her to say more, so she said: "Okay, then I'll rest for two weeks!"

In the next two weeks, Zhang Jingchu did not touch the materials of the Nanjing Massacre, nor did she care about the performance, and traveled abroad. After adjusting to her condition, she returned to work.

Zhang Ran is always very busy, running around for movies all day long, and he will personally take care of every job in the movie. He has been preparing for the film for ten years and wants every aspect of the film to be the best it can be.

The time quickly entered August, and the exterior of "Angel of Justice" was completely completed. Jinnu University, Labey's house, No. 1 Xiaofenqiao, the headquarters of the International Committee at No. 5 Ninghai Road, the Japanese Embassy, the Drum Tower Hospital, and the Overseas Chinese Guest House...... One after another old buildings full of the atmosphere of the times have risen from the Shiqiu Film and Television Base. Standing in front of the headquarters of the International Committee at No. 5 Ninghai Road, Zhang Ran looked at the antique buildings around him, and felt like he had traveled through time and space.

In order to restore the Nanjing Safety Zone in 1937, the main creator of the crew spent great effort, and the peak of the century also invested 300 million yuan. Originally, the Nanjing municipal government was willing to pay to help the peak of the century build the exterior, but Zhang Ran refused.

The premiere of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was held in the auditorium of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and as a result, some American media made a joke about this, saying that the film was placed in the government auditorium to promote it because of the government background, and the movie was a political propaganda film of the government. In fact, as long as money is given, anyone can go to the CPPCC auditorium for the premiere. Zhang Ran doesn't want this to happen to "Angel of Justice", doesn't want to give Dongying the right wing and their accomplices the truth, and doesn't want to give them the opportunity to make irresponsible remarks.

Most of the main actors of "Angel of Justice" have been decided, and only the actor of the role of Cheng Ruifang has not yet been decided. The best candidate in Zhang Ran's heart is Siqin Gaowa, but Siqin Gaowa has been filming in other places in recent months, and she can't go to Lin'an to audition. The crew found some actors to audition, but the results were not very ideal, so Zhang Ran made a decision and waited for Siqin Gaowa.

In mid-August, Siqin Gaowa, who finished filming the TV series, finally rushed to Lin'an to meet Zhang Ran. Out of confidentiality, Zhang Ran did not give Siqin Gaowa a script, nor did he tell her what type of movie it was. Just tell her that there is a very important role that she wants to try.

After a brief greeting, Zhang Ran began to introduce his film to Siqin Gaowa: "Our film is called "Angel of Justice", which is a biopic, but it is different from ordinary biopics, it is not a biopic of one person, but a biopic of three people, which can also be said to be the story of three books, Zhang Chunru's "Nanjing Massacre", "Weitling's Diary" and "Rabe's Diary". The film has three lines, the main line is how Zhang Chunru wrote "The Nanjing Massacre" and how it was published, and the other two lines are the fate of Weitling and Rabe......"

Zhang Ran elaborated to Siqin Gaowa about his conception of the film, including the ideology and practical significance of the film, and the requirements and assumptions for the tone, structure, style and artistic treatment of the film. Siqin Gaowa listened quietly, but her heart was very excited, and Zhang Ran's description made her realize that this was an extraordinary movie.

After talking about the conception and design of the movie, Zhang Ran began to talk about the role that Siqin Gaowa will play: "The character you play is called Cheng Ruifang. When the Japanese army entered the city of Nanjing, six faculty members stayed behind to take care of the school's property. Among them are Weitling and Cheng Ruifang. At that time, Cheng Ruifang was 62 years old and was the supervisor of the Golden Lady. During the Nanjing Massacre, Cheng Ruifang, as Weitling's assistant, made outstanding contributions to the shelter and protection of women and children. In "Weitling's Diary", Cheng Ruifang is the person who is mentioned the most. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, 71-year-old Cheng Ruifang went to Dongying to testify before the Far East Military Tribunal, accusing the Japanese army of atrocities in Nanjing. Most importantly, she wrote a diary, which was the first diary recorded by Chinese in the Nanjing Massacre of the Japanese invasion of China with personal experience, sight and hearing. She's really an amazing old man. ”

After listening to Zhang Ran's description, Siqin Gaowa looked forward to the role she played even more.

Zhang Ran clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Teacher Siqin Gaowa, please put on makeup, let's take a look at the styling." This movie is a biopic, and the most important thing is to look like it, if it doesn't look like it, it definitely won't work. Zhang Ran turned to the assistant and said, "Take Teacher Siqin Gaowa to make up!"

Siqin Gaowa put on makeup quickly, and it was done in less than an hour. Siqin Gaowa is 65 years old, Cheng Ruifang is 62 years old, and the two are close in age and their faces and figures are also relatively close, so Siqin Gaowa's makeup is relatively simple, unlike Amy Adams who has to toss for a long time.

When Siqin Gaowa stood in front of Zhang Ran in a black coat and a woolen skirt, everyone applauded, it was really very similar!

Next, Zhang Ran began to talk to Siqin Gaowa about the character of Cheng Ruifang in detail, including her family background, life background, life experience, etc. Zhang Ran put forward two clear requirements, one is a Wuhan accent because Cheng Ruifang is from Wuhan, and the other is to be able to speak English with English lines.

Finally, Zhang Ran also proposed: "To understand the role of Cheng Ruifang, you must read "Cheng Ruifang's Diary". When I read "Cheng Ruifang's Diary", I could feel a strong unwillingness and hatred. A Dongying soldier tried to rape a woman and was killed by two Chinese. After Cheng Ruifang heard about it, he wrote in his diary: It's really good, it's good to kill a person out of anger! I can really feel the pain and hatred of an old man in the face of the ruin of the country and the killing of innocent compatriots! I can't feel these things without reading "Cheng Ruifang's Diary." In addition to "Cheng Ruifang's Diary", it is best to read "Wei Tling's Diary", Wei Tling has a lot of records of Cheng Ruifang in the diary, and her evaluation is also very high. Reading "Weitling's Diary" can also help you understand this character from the side. ”

Siqin Gaowa has been acting for more than 30 years, and it is rare for a director to make so many requests, especially in the past ten years, no director dares to ask her. However, Zhang Ran's request did not make her feel embarrassed, but made her very excited. She believes that with such an attitude, "Angel of Justice" will be an outstanding work.

After sending Siqin Gaowa away, Zhang Ran exhaled softly, and the main actors of the movie were all finalized. When a movie actor is chosen correctly, it is half the battle, especially for biopics. The actors of "Angel of Justice" are all carefully selected, and Zhang Ran is full of confidence in them.
