The biggest winner of this year's Asian Film Academy Awards is undoubtedly the South Korean film "Monster of the Han River", which won five awards out of six nominations, only to lose to Japan's Tetsuya Nakajima in Best Director. Although Zhang Ran's "Three Fools" received seven nominations, it only won two awards, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor, and there was no heavyweight award, which was a big surprise, and was jokingly called "Accompanying Runner is more wronged than Dou E" by the domestic media.

"Three Fools" has received an excellent response from domestic audiences, with a score of 9.2 on Douban, second only to "Farewell My Concubine" among Chinese films. But now they have only won two awards, which are still two small awards, so many people are indignant. Especially after losing to Korean movies, many viewers were even more unhappy, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.

The media is also talking about this matter, and many people think that in addition to the difference in the strength of the film itself, there is actually a relatively obscure factor in the treatment of Chinese films, that is, the organizers of the Academy Awards are eliminating the suspicion of local protection, so that the award is worthy of its name.

However, Zhang Ran refuted this statement on Zhang Jingchu's blog, emphasizing that the purpose of the Academy Award is "six relatives do not recognize, only recognize the works", and the selection is the best, and it will never target anyone, let alone belittle oneself in order to praise the stinky feet of foreigners. At the same time, he pointed out that the performance of Chinese films at this year's Academy Awards was average, mainly because the selection time of the Asian Film Awards was in September last year, and by August this year, many excellent films were not selected due to time constraints, such as "Peacock", which won the Berlin Silver Bear Award, because it was released in February last year, so it was missed. Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" won the Golden Lion in Venice last month, but the film has not yet been released in Asia, so naturally there is no way to participate in the selection of the award, so it can only wait until next year.

Zhang Ran also made a simple analysis of "Monster of the Han River", pointing out that this movie is a monster film on the surface, but in fact, it is the same way as the director's previous work "Memories of Murder", that is, he expresses his views on society and human nature through the skin of monster films.

This is not to deliberately elevate "Han River Monster", in 2010, the "Film Handbook" selected the top ten films of the new millennium "Han River Monster", and the Asian Film Award "Han River Monster" held by Hong Kong also beat Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man in the Mountains and Gorges" to win the best picture, this film is really strong.

When netizens saw that Zhang Ran said this, they had nothing to say, and the scolding against the Asian Film Academy Awards subsided. Many insiders realize that "the six relatives don't recognize it, only recognize the works" really don't talk about it casually, and even Zhang Ran's own "Three Fools" didn't win a decent award, which shows this!

Shortly after posting the blog, Zhang Ran received a call from Ma Liwen, the director of "The Two of Us", who excitedly told Zhang Ran that the Korean rights of the film had been sold.

Although "The Two of Us" won the queen of the Tokyo Film Festival last year, there are not many film companies interested in the film, except for the mainland and Xiangjiang, no other place has been given the opportunity to be released. However, after winning the Academy Award for Best Actress, many Korean audiences became interested in the film and wanted to see how good this movie was that defeated Lee Young-ae and Jeon Do-yeon, two of Korea's top actors.

Zhang Ran was very relieved to hear the news, and one of the purposes of his founding of the Asian Film Academy Awards was to give more Chinese films a stage and promote them overseas, especially to Japan and South Korea. We can't always let Japanese and Korean culture influence our young people, and our film and television works must also go out to influence young people in Japan and South Korea.

As for the films of Japan and South Korea, they will take the opportunity to push to China, and there is a General Administration stuck, how can they be allowed to come in casually!

However, even if Korean films are introduced, it will not have any impact on the domestic market. In fact, there are many Korean movies imported in China, such as "Uncle", "Invasion of the Wireworms", "Haeundae" and so on, but the box office is miserable.

After finishing the Asian Film Academy Awards, Zhang Ran plunged into the crew of "Tangshan Earthquake" and continued to be busy with the filming of the movie.

Now the crew is filming at the Steep River Reservoir, which is located 15 kilometers northeast of Tangshan, and Zhang Ran is directing the dispatch, holding the walkie-talkie in one hand and the megaphone in the other, staring at the various dispatches on the scene.

After the earthquake, the dam of the Steep River Reservoir sank by 1 meter, the longitudinal fault of the main dam was 1,700 meters, and the transverse fault was every 50 meters, with more than 50 cracks. Some cracks are up to 1 meter wide and up to 11 meters long. When it rains heavily, the water level rises sharply, and the dam is in danger. The bottom of the reservoir is 10 meters higher than Tangshan City, with 36 million cubic meters of water storage, and the consequences of bursting the embankment are unimaginable.

To solve this huge crisis, it is necessary to release water from the reservoir, and to release the water it is necessary to lift the floodgates, but there is no electricity now. Ji Chen and they could only pass a winch in the machine room, and they relied on manpower to push the gate up. The soldiers used the strength of their arms to shake the winch to open the gate weighing more than 100,000 catties. The difficulty of this matter was beyond imagination, and the four strong young men shook it desperately for a hundred turns, and the gate could only be raised by less than a centimeter!

Yu Feihong ran over to Zhang Ran's side and reminded: "Director, it's ready, it's time to start filming." ”

Zhang Ran nodded, his face flashed a little resolute, and he raised the megaphone and shouted to everyone: "Each group prepares, let's start shooting now!

The black flag in the air blocked the sun, and the rain sprayer spewed dense rain. On the dam, dozens of soldiers lay sideways and upright, let the torrential rain whip, on the ruins of a collapsed machine room, Ji Chen and they were shaking the winch vigorously. The winch is turning, the gate is lifting, and the surging water is pouring like a river.

The company commander's clothes were covered with bloodstains, and in the aftershock of magnitude 7.1 just now, the engine room collapsed, three soldiers were sacrificed, and he was also injured, but he continued to fight despite the pain, shaking the winch like crazy. He shook the winch vigorously and shouted, "Everyone work harder, and the gate must be raised to the highest!"

Ji Chen and the two fighters were desperately shaking the winch, their hands were worn out, their waists were about to break, they had been shaking for nearly seven hours, they were already exhausted, and they were all supported by willpower. Everyone has only one thought, open the floodgates and keep Tangshan!

Suddenly, the winch could not turn, and the fighters froze, thinking that there was a problem with the winch. At this moment, the workers of the Steep River Reservoir came running over and shouted, "The gate has been raised, you can let go." ”

Ji Chen and the two soldiers suddenly collapsed under the winch, gasping for breath, while the company commander smiled, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell.

"Company commander!" the fighters pounced.

Five minutes later, Zhang Ran was sure that there was nothing wrong with the whole shot, and shouted: "This shot has passed!"

The crew of the crew all moved, cleaning up the scene, cleaning up the scene, carrying the equipment, and starting to get busy for the next shot.

At this moment, a field worker ran over very quickly and said with a smile: "Director, a gentleman said that he was looking for you urgently, and I brought him here!"

Zhang Ran looked up and saw that it was Wu Ruide, knowing that it must be a big deal, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Old Wu, what's wrong?"

Wu Ruide nodded slightly: "There is something very important, I want to talk to you alone!"

"Feihong, you are staring at this scene next!" Zhang Ran commanded Yu Feihong, and then took Wu Ruide to the dam.

After walking more than 30 meters on the dam, Zhang Ran sat on the ground and asked, "What happened?"

Wu Ruide lowered his voice and said: "Warner Cinemas has decided to withdraw from China, and several theaters in their hands are looking for someone to take over!"

Zhang Ran was stunned, now the domestic theater chain is in a period of explosive growth, and it is a promising time, how could Warner quit and asked, "What's going on?"

Wu Ruide immediately explained that when China joined the WTO in December 2001, it made a promise to allow overseas enterprises and institutions to invest in China's domestic theaters, but required foreign ownership not to exceed 50 percent. In 2002, Warner's subsidiary, Warner International Cinemas, entered China and opened Yonghua Cinema as a joint venture with Shanghai Film Group. In September 2003, the State Administration of China (SAMR) issued the Interim Regulations on Foreign Investment in Cinemas, which stated that foreign investment in seven pilot cities, including Beiping and Modu, could be relaxed to 75%, and Warner began to invest in China on a large scale.

However, the good times did not last long, and the competent authorities hoped that the films promoting the main theme could be scheduled and broadcast in cinemas around the country, but Warner's foreign-funded theaters refused the request for film scheduling due to box office considerations, and the competent authorities realized that foreign-controlled theaters were a problem. At the end of 2005, the "Several Opinions on the Introduction of Foreign Investment in the Cultural Sector" was promulgated, which changed the previous policy, and new theaters were required to be "more than 51% owned by the Chinese party or the Chinese party has a dominant position", and the loss of control made Time Warner feel that the future was bleak and had to stop investing in the Chinese theater market.

Zhang Ran understood what was going on and asked, "Warner has multiple theaters in its hands?"

Wu Ruide said: "Warner has built 6 theaters, including Yonghua Cinema and Nanjing Shanghai Film Warner Cinema in cooperation with Shanghai Film, 3 theaters operated in cooperation with Shenzhen Guotou in Shancheng, Changsha and Nanchang, and 1 theater operated by Guangzhou Jinyi in Guangzhou. In addition, Warner has co-invested in a cinema in Shenzhen with SZIC that has just completed civil construction. ”

Zhang Ran asked, "How is the business of these six theaters?"

Wu Ruide said: "The business of these six theaters is very prosperous, and Yonghua Cinema City has won the box office championship of Chinese theaters for three consecutive years. However, Yonghua Cinema City and Nanjing Shanghai Film Warner are both controlled by Shanghai Film Group, and they are two pieces of fat, which are difficult for us to touch. As for the theater cooperated by Warner and Jinyi, Warner did not invest funds, only responsible for operation and management, and did not save the problem of receiving plates. What we can really intervene in is the 4 theaters jointly invested by Warner and SZIC. As he spoke, Wu Ruide took out a report and handed it to Zhang Ran.
