After the announcement of the launch of the Asian Film Academy, it caused quite a stir in the Asian region. Studying with a well-known director like Zhang Ran www.biquge.info also get the opportunity to shoot feature films, which is a fatal attraction for any newcomer with a film dream.

Beijing, a certain apartment. TV series director Fei Xing crooked in his chair, holding a cigarette between his fingers, staring at the computer in a daze, the display screen is the official website of the Asian Film Academy, and the ashtray next to the computer is full of ashes.

At the age of 25, he suddenly felt that he should strive for his dream and decided to change his career to make films. At that time, there were basically no movies to make in China, so he went to Xiangjiang to seek development. In Xiangjiang, he met a graduate of New York University's film school and learned a lot from him. After returning to the mainland, there were still no movies to do in the mainland, so he started a TV series. By now, he is already a well-known TV series director.

For Afline, it is his dream to make genre films and become directors like David Fincher and Knight Shyamalan. However, he has been in the film and television industry for several years, knows the film and television industry very well, and knows how difficult it is to make a movie. Last year's "Waiting Alone" was a good movie, but the box office turned out to be less than 3 million. There are too many things involved in the movie, and if something goes wrong in any link, it may fall short.

Now the Asian Film Academy has made Fei Xing see hope and is a little moved. The teachers at the school are so good, the platform is so good, it's a resource he dreams of!

The phone rang suddenly, and it was an unfamiliar number. After the phone was connected, a man's voice came: "Is it Mr. Li? We have a script here, I want you to shoot it, can you talk about the script, how much do you say?" ”

Fei Xing can receive several calls every day, all of which ask him to make TV series, but now he suddenly laughed: "I found that it is not a good thing for a person to be young and ambitious, I have been so comfortable during this time that I almost forgot what I really love, I entered this industry because I love movies!"

I didn't understand the other side of the phone: "Ha, what did you say?"

Fei Xing said loudly: "It's my dream to make a movie, and now I'm going to make a movie with Zhang Ran, and I can't take your play!"

At the same time, in an advertising agency in Beijing, Wu Ershan sat at the computer desk, silently reading the admission brochure of the Asian Film Academy.

Wu Ershan is a student of Nortel's Class of 94, who has been engaged in advertising since graduation and is now well-known in the advertising industry. However, after six or seven years of filming, he kind of wanted to make a movie, so he paid 300,000 yuan in 03 and made a 90-minute feature film "Soap Opera".

This film has participated in several film festivals and won a few small awards, and in the process of not participating in film festivals, Wu Ershan felt that the main battlefield of film should not be in film festivals and art museums, but in cinemas, and began to think about making genre films.

However, Wu Ershan also knows that genre films are not easy to do, especially in China, where censorship is very strict and it is easy to hit mines, so he is more cautious about this. Now Zhang Ran is taking the lead in cultivating genre film directors, which makes him feel that it is an opportunity. Others pick this head, he may not believe it, but Zhang Ran picks the head, he believes it, after all, Ning Hao was brought out by Zhang Ran.

The requirements for the Asian Film Academy to register are simple, each person must submit two short films of about five minutes. Wu Ershan has made hundreds of commercials in recent years, and he should be qualified if he submits two of them. However, considering that the school only recruits twelve students, and it is for the whole world, he still didn't dare to be careless, and dialed a number: "Hao Yi, I'm going to shoot two five-minute short films, come here, let's discuss!"

Not only Fei Xing and Wu Ershan, but also many powerful and incapable directors in the entire Asian region have begun to prepare short films, hoping to get this precious opportunity.

There is still a year before the official opening of the Asian Film Academy, and Zhang Ran is not in a hurry to see the follow-up reaction. After the press conference, he began to prepare for the premiere of "Three Fools" in the evening.

It was 8 p.m. soon, and the entrance to the Palais du Cinema was already crowded.

This year is the Venice Film Festival, which is a grand event for Chinese films, and there are many Chinese crews who come to Venice. Most of these crews appeared on the red carpet of "Three Fools", directors Ang Lee, Li Yu, Wu Yusen, Liu Weiqiang, stars Zhen Zidan, Jay Chou, Sun Honglei, and Jiang Yan also appeared.

In addition to their compatriots, South Korea's Park Chan-wook and Lee Young-ae, the United States' Matt Damon, and Italy's Monica Bellucci also came to cheer, and the entire red carpet was star-studded, which was even more lively than the opening ceremony.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the movie officially played.

At the beginning of the movie, like the drama version, Wang Xun received a phone call on the plane, so he pretended to be sick and tricked the plane into a forced landing. But the next content is different from the drama. In the play, the phone called Xu Le's house, and Xu Le hurried out before he had time to put on his pants, but in the movie, Wang Xun's phone call was made to Ye Mei played by Bai Ling. Bai Ling is now a doctor, and after receiving a call from Wang Xun, she ran out of the hospital without taking off her white coat and got into Wang Xun's car.

Tang Jia, a reporter from "Beijing Entertainment Daily", is very familiar with Zhang Ran and is also a die-hard supporter of Zhang Ran. She felt that it might be to increase the role of the heroine, and Ye Mei's role in the drama was a bit less. But after thinking about it, this arrangement seems to be a bit problematic, the movie is called "Three Fools", and Yu Bo, Wang Xun, and Xu Le are the real protagonists. In order to increase Ye Mei's role, it is not appropriate to delete Xu Le's role, right?

The movie continues, Wang Xun and Bai Ling came to the roof as promised, but what they saw was not Yu Bo, but Zhang Zichen. Ten years ago, he and Yu Bo agreed that they would see who was more successful in ten years. Now he is a big entrepreneur, owns a luxury car and villa, and is married to Huang Shengyi.

When Zhang Zichen showed a photo of Huang Shengyi through his touchscreen mobile phone and said proudly, "This is my wife Huang Shengyi", the Chinese reporters present suddenly burst into cheerful laughter, while the foreign reporters were confused, not knowing what they were laughing at.

Ang Lee has not seen the drama of "Three Fools", nor has he read the novel, but he is very satisfied with the beginning of the movie. The whole opening is a typical hot opening, which is very lively, and at the same time, Zhang Ran cleverly used the suspense "Who is Yu Bo" to arouse the audience's interest, which makes people can't help but want to look down.

The rhythm of the movie is very well grasped, the editing is also of a high standard, and the actors' performances are also very good, Zhang Ran's control of the movie is becoming more and more skillful! Ang Lee couldn't help but praise: "Zhang Ran really can grasp both business and literature and art!"

The camera switched, and the time returned to ten years ago, in 2005, Wang Xun entered the University of Science and Technology. Yu Bo, Wang Xun, and Xu Le were assigned to the same dormitory and started their friendship.

Every time a freshman arrives, Dean Chen Daoming will talk about his bird's nest theory: "Cuckoos never build their own nests, they all lay their eggs in other birds' nests." What do they do when they invade someone's house? They push the eggs of other birds off their nests, and the competition is over, and they are born killers, and it's their nature -- compete or die! You are like cuckoo birds......

There is also his pen theory, which takes off a pen pinned to his chest and holds it in the air: "This is a space pen, fountain pens and ballpoint pens do not work in space, so scientists spent millions to invent this pen, which can write at any angle, at any temperature, and in zero gravity." Once, when I was a student, the director of our institute showed me this pen, and he said that it was a symbol of excellence, and I gave it to you, and when you met a student as outstanding as you, you passed it on to him. ”

The students present all stared at the fountain pen in Chen Daoming's hand, especially Zhang Zichen's eyes were shining.

Chen Daoming continued: "For 32 years, I have been waiting for this student to appear, but I have not been able to do so. Who here wants to work hard to win this pen?"

However, this time Chen Daoming was in trouble, and Yu Bo asked with some puzzlement: "Dean, if a fountain pen or something doesn't work in space, then why don't astronauts write with a pencil?

The students in the room laughed, yes, why not use pencils?

Chen Daoming's mouth opened, his expression was embarrassed, and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only change the topic: "I'll answer you this question later." After saying that, he quickly walked out of the camera.

The audience in the screening room was laughing, and everyone was happy to see the dean who had a problematic concept deflated. However, the Chinese audience present laughed and felt incredible at the same time, Chen Daoming has always played a very serious role, why is he so happy this time?

Yu Bo is a student who loves machines, he can always use things flexibly, he does not memorize and learn as if he had completed a task, and many of his behaviors are rebellious and deliberately disruptive in the eyes of the teacher, so he is not treated well by the teacher.

In the school, there is a student who loves mechanics as well as Yu Bo, He Ping, a senior. He made a four-cornered flying machine, trying to gain Chen Daoming's approval, but what he got was ridicule and denial. He Ping, who was hit, threw the flying machine he was still making into the trash. Lan Che, who was passing by, saw this scene and picked up the flying machine, intending to help He Ping complete the production of the flying machine.

Designing an aircraft is not a difficult task, and Yu Bo spent a lot of effort to complete the design. He took the made flying machine and flew it under the boys' dormitory, wanting the aircraft to fly into He Ping's room through the window to surprise him.

The aircraft slowly flew upstairs, and the picture transmitted by the camera on the aircraft made everyone see Zhang Zichen walking around in underwear, which caused the onlookers to laugh. The aircraft continued to fly upwards, towards He Ping's window. As the aircraft slowly ascended, a palpitating scene appeared, the first to appear in the monitor was a pair of feet hanging in the air, and then He Ping, who committed suicide by hanging from the beam, appeared in the camera.

The movie lost its voice in an instant, and the entire screening hall was silent, no one expected that what was a hilarious comedy a second ago would become a human tragedy in the blink of an eye, and all the audience had a strong impact on their hearts.

Wang Xun and the others rushed upstairs and crashed into He Ping's room, and they saw three Chinese characters on the wall - I'm so tired!

Countless people blurred their eyes in front of the screen, Tang Jia had watched the drama version and knew that He Ping would die, but now he couldn't help but cry when he saw this scene, why is such a vivid life gone? Why is this happening?

On the day He Ping's father took away the ashes, it was pouring rain in the sky, as if he wanted to wash away the thick sadness.

Yu Bo came to Chen Daoming with tears in his eyes and said sadly: "Good news, dean." Neither the police nor He Ping's father had any clues. Everyone thought it was suicide. The autopsy report showed that the cause of death was death by suffocation and excessive tracheal pressure. Everyone thought he died of carotid artery pressure, but what about the psychological stress of the past four years? Engineers are a group of smart people, but they don't have a machine that measures psychological stress. If it is made, everyone will know that this is not suicide, but murder!"

Many viewers in front of the screen felt happy, Yu Bo said what was in everyone's hearts, but at the same time, he couldn't help but worry about Yu Bo, offending the dean so much, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat!(To be continued.) )
