At six o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour and a half before the official release of "Scorching Sun", and the front of the movie palace was already lively like the New Year. The 60-meter-long red carpet was lined with reporters with cameras in hand, as well as fans holding posters and cheering signs. Outside the red carpet, thousands of fans without invitations are holding up signs and begging for tickets, hoping to get a ticket before the show opens.

As the red carpet ceremony began, luxury cars stopped at the intersection, and big stars stepped on the red carpet one after another, shouts and screams swept through the entire movie palace, and the air at the scene was almost burning.

"Scorching Sun" is a movie that has attracted global attention, and there are many stars and guests who come to cheer. Nine judges led by Jane Campion, Chinese actors represented by Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, and Li Binbin, big directors represented by Mike Lee and Ceylon, movie stars represented by Schwarzenegger and Stallone, and even Canadian pop superstar Weeknd and American supermodel Caroline Murphy also made a surprise appearance, and the entire premiere can be described as a star-studded show.

"That's Monica Bellucci, my goddess! Monica, here!

"Wow, Gisele Bundchen is also here, but it's not surprising, she is Valentino's spokesperson, and Zhang Ran is Valentino's boss, it's normal for her to come to cheer!"

"Wow, Cate Blanchett is here too, it's really lively today, it's even more lively than the opening ceremony!"

The reporters kept taking pictures, and they couldn't help but sigh. They pressed the shutter until their fingers hurt, but they couldn't stop, because every big name came out.

A black car stopped at the entrance to the red carpet, the door opened, and an old man with gray hair and glasses stepped out of the car. On the other side of the car came an old lady in her sixties, who walked quickly to the old man's side and tried to help him. But the old man waved his hand, signaling that he could go. The old lady smiled at the old man, took him by the arm, and walked forward with him.

The reporters at the scene were stunned after seeing the old man's appearance, and they couldn't believe their eyes. Holding the camera, the fat reporter who was about to take a picture was completely stunned. The thin reporter muttered, "How is it possible? Godard has come to the premiere of "The Scorching Sun!"

Someone in the crowd let out an exclamation, "Oh my God, that's Godard!" and then more people screamed, "Oh God, it's Godard! Godard is coming!"

In exclamation, the reporters pointed their cameras at Godard and frantically pressed the shutter to record the incredible moment. They didn't think about why Godard appeared, but they all knew that Godard was a god-like being in the world of movies, and he was 84 years old, and if he wanted to shoot him, he might just have such an opportunity in his life.

As the reporters took pictures, they desperately shouted "Jean-Luc!" to get Godard to look at the camera. But the old man ignored no one, and took his wife Anne-Marie Mivel by the arm and walked towards the Movie Palace.

The guests, spectators and reporters in the venue all saw this incredible scene through the big screen. There was a buzz at the scene, and many people couldn't believe their eyes and couldn't believe Godard would appear at the premiere of "Scorching Sun".

"Zhang Ran is so popular that even Godard is there in person!"

"Godard liked Zhang Ran, he once said that Zhang Ran was one of the few people who really knew how to make films, but I still didn't expect him to attend the premiere of 'Sun Scorching'!"

"Zhang Ran is like magic, Bergman likes him, Coppola likes him, Scorsese likes him, even Godard, a special old and angry young man who has no one in his eyes, likes him!"

The judges also whispered, and Nicholas Winding Refern shook his head lightly and said, "I didn't expect Godard to like Zhang Ran so much, it's incredible!"

Sofia Coppola was also very surprised by this: "Godard has been against the bourgeoisie all his life, against bourgeois movies all his life, and Zhang Ran is a big capitalist, his films are all big productions, Godard would like his films, it is incredible!"

Jacob next to him chuckled: "Buñuel once said that I don't see anything new in the New Wave except Godard. In our time, the language of film has almost come to a standstill, and the only director who still insists on exploring the language of film is Zhang Ran. Godard is lonely, and neither is Zhang Ran. They are loners on the boundaries of cinema, they are the same kind, and it is all too normal for Godard to come to see "The Sunburn". ”

The big screen in the venue broadcast Godard's walk through the 60-meter-long red carpet and then through the main entrance to the screening room, and when he entered, the audience spontaneously stood up and gave him a long-lasting applause.

There are three particularly important films in the history of world cinema, Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation", Orson Welles's "Citizen Kane", and Godard's "Exhausted", these three films are landmark works of the birth, development and maturity of the film language, and it is impossible for any world film history to miss these three works.

Griffith pioneered classical editing and laid the foundation for cinematic language in The Birth of a Nation, Citizen Kane was the cornerstone of modern cinema and influenced every director since, and Godard created the jump cut in Exhausted, burying classical cinema and truly modernizing cinema. Truffaut says that the film is divided into before Godard and after Godard, and that's really not an exaggeration.

The directors present came from all over the world, young and old, but none of them had not been influenced by Godard. It is no exaggeration to say that all the directors present were Godard's students. When Godard entered, there was no other way to pay their respects to Godard than a standing ovation.

Godard was 84 years old, and most of his contemporaries were gone, Chabrol, Houmai, and Rivett. At this age and state, Godard no longer cared about awards, nor did he care what others said, nor did he have the interest to greet and communicate with anyone present. He took his wife, Anne Marie Mivel, by the arm, and under the guidance of the guide, came to his place and sat down, quietly waiting for the movie to begin.

Zhang Ran and the crew of "Scorching Sun" made their debut in the finale, and when they appeared on the red carpet, the scene erupted in cheers and applause like a tsunami, and Zhang Ran, Li Xuejian and Wang Luodan also waved and interacted with the fans enthusiastically, which seemed to be full of affinity.

After entering the screening hall, Zhang Ran glanced at it, and the more than 3,000 seats in the entire Lumière Hall were all filled. He glanced at the guest's position again, and saw Godard. Zhang Ran was looking at Godard, watching this living film legend, and Godard was looking at Zhang Ran again, looking at this creative young director.

Zhang Ran didn't go over to say hello to Godard, Godard came to see "The Scorching Sun", and if he wanted to communicate, he had to wait until after the film screening. He smiled at Godard, and then came to his place.

After Zhang Ran and they sat down, the host reminded the audience that the movie would start immediately, and everyone was asked to wear 3D glasses. The guests and reporters at the scene put on 3D glasses and whispered at the same time.

"It's finally about to start, and I've been waiting for this movie for two years since the end of "Future Apocalypse". ”

"This is a 3D plus holographic sound plus 6K movie, a real 3D movie, and now it's finally going to begin!"

"Some people say that this is China's "The Old Man and the Sea", and some people say that it is the elderly version of "Youth Pi", no matter which one it is, Zhang Ran's movie will definitely not be bad!"

The lights in the screening room went out, the scene fell silent instantly, and everyone's attention was focused on the screen.

The big screen lit up, and "Scorching Sun" officially began to be screened.

After the opening animation, the screen goes dark, and then the audience sees an amazing scene, the whole screen slowly unfolds from right to left like a scroll of a Chinese painting.

In the painting, in the vast expanse of endless mountain peaks, the continuous peaks occupy most of the screen space, leaving only a line for the sky above, surrounded by a few white clouds.

As the frame reaches the far left of the screen, the camera begins to slowly move to the left. From the viewer's point of view, it seems as if the painting is still unfolding, as if this vigorous and simple Chinese painting has not yet fully unfolded.

"The reel lens can still be used like this!" someone in front of the screen let out a soft snort. The scroll shot is Zhang Ran's signature lens, and almost all of Zhang Ran's movies will have scroll shots, but no one expected that Zhang Ran would be able to play new tricks with the scroll lens.

Jia Zhangke immediately smiled when he saw this shot, and said softly: "This is the real scroll lens!"

Jia Zhangke's voice was very small, but Sophia Coppola next to him still heard it, and said puzzledly: "Why do you say that?"

Jia Zhangke said softly: "This is how Chinese painting unfolds from right to left, and when you look at Chinese painting, you should also look from right to left!"

One thing Jia Zhangke did not say is that this lens is not only in the style of Chinese painting, but also in the whole composition, using the Pingyuan method in the "Three Distances Method" of Chinese painting composition. However, these things may not be understood by Chinese, let alone Coppola, a foreigner, he is too lazy to explain.

Jia Zhangke knew that Zhang Ran particularly admired the Bada Shanren, and in his opinion, this shot undoubtedly has a strong Bada Shanren style, the trees in the lens are crooked, full of dead branches and leaves, and the artistic conception is desolate and lonely, but in the distant realm, it reveals a strong and simple atmosphere.

The camera switched, it was still a large panorama, but the camera cut to a corner of the village, from the sky above the village, from right to left slowly moved, because the shooting was in the village, the whole communication reminded many Chinese reporters present that it was like "Qingming Riverside Picture".

However, the movie gives people a completely different feeling from "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is full of people, passers-by, bridges, upstairs, and people traveling on the boat, which is very lively;

The strong sunlight sprinkled over the whole village like pear blossoms, making people dizzy, giving people a sense of irritability and roughness, and the camera moved over one house after another, moving over one courtyard after another, giving people a strong sense of closure, like being in a cage, no matter how the camera moved, it was difficult to escape.

The camera slowly moves to the left, and the dog barks one after another, and the bark is a little sad, even a little heartbreaking. One can't help but wonder where all the people in the village have gone, and why are the dogs barking so sad?

Most of the Chinese reporters at the scene had read the original book "Years, Months and Days" and were mentally prepared, but when the sad barking of the blind dog came, their hearts still sank.

The foreign reporters and directors present did not watch it, but the tone of the first two shots of the film still made them understand that this was a story full of loneliness and despair, and they couldn't help but hold their breath and their hearts tuged involuntarily.

Godard, who had always kept a straight face, smiled at this moment: "The Chinese director has finally made his own film!"
