After Zhang Ran stepped off the stage, the 67th Cannes Film Festival came to a successful end. It was a night to remember for the Chinese media, for Chinese fans in front of computers and televisions.

The next morning, the world's major media reported on this year's Cannes Film Festival in a big way. The Turkish media sourly said that Ceylon's "Hibernation" was better, and the chairman of the jury, Jane Campion, particularly liked "Hibernation", but there were too many American and East Asian judges in the jury, and in the end, it was defeated, otherwise "Hibernation" could have won the Palme d'Or. However, the media in other countries are basically on the side of "Scorching Sun" and applauding "Scorching Sun" for winning the Palme d'Or.

The photo of Zhang Ran standing on the stage, holding the Palme d'Or trophy in his hand, has become the cover of many newspapers and magazines, and the phrase "life is not enough, movies are not dead" has become the headline of many reports and reviews.

The New York Times devoted a large report to the victory of "The Scorching Sun": "The jury made the right choice and awarded the highest honor to the best film. This is the best Cannes Film Festival since the beginning of the new century, and it will remain in our memories for a long time. We will remember "Hibernation", remember "Mommy", and remember the shock that touched the soul brought by "Sun Scorching" for a long time!"

The Daily Telegraph said: "Sun Burning is the best Palme d'Or film in the new millennium, and it is also the favorite one for the vast majority of audiences. It's a shocking film, and none of the films in the competition are as moving as it is. Zhang Ran is the greatest director of our time!"

Le Figaro spoke highly of this year's festival under the title "The Arrival of a New Era": "On this night, two films won awards and the audience stood up to pay tribute, one was Godard's "Goodbye Language" and the other was Zhang Ran's "Scorching Sun". When the 37-year-old Zhang Ran met the 84-year-old Godard, such a combination appeared in the last year of the Cannes Film Festival's president Jacob's reign, which can give people a glimpse of Cannes' attitude towards film heritage. ”

In China, Zhang Ran and Golden Palm not only occupied the first place on Weibo's hot search list, but also caused serious screen swiping incidents in many film and television entertainment forums. The media is even more collectively crazy, whether it is traditional media or online media, they have written articles and published articles that are full of praise.

In recent years, Chinese films have developed rapidly and have become the world's second largest market, surpassing the United States to become the world's largest market.

At the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of this year, director Diao Yinan's work "Fireworks in the Day" won the Best Film Award and the Best Actor Award in one fell swoop, and "Tuina" directed by Lou Ye won the Best Artistic Contribution Award.

Chinese films can be said to be a bumper harvest at the box office this year, so many people began to shout that the best era of Chinese films is coming!

Now that Zhang Ran has won the Palme d'Or again, even the "People's Daily" is not calm, and published a commentator's article titled "Embracing the Golden Age of Chinese Films". The article wrote: "When the youth is prosperous, the country is prosperous, and when the youth is strong, the country is strong. Young directors led by Zhang Ran also represent the vigorous spirit of Chinese society. Today's Chinese filmmakers are standing on the cusp of the huge wind, smiling at the surging wind, and Chinese directors must work hard to win the next golden decade of Chinese films in the future. ”

After the closing of the Cannes Film Festival, Fumao talked to Zhang Ran, hoping that Zhang Ran would be the chairman of the jury of next year's Cannes Film Festival. However, Zhang Ran refused, not because he was hypocritical, not because he looked down on the chairman of the jury, but because next year's movie about Zhang Chunru will be fully launched. Zhang Ran has been preparing for this movie for ten years, he doesn't want anything wrong, he wants to use all his energy on the movie, and he doesn't want to be distracted by other things.

Fumao was very moved when he heard that Zhang Ran was going to launch a film that had been in the making for ten years, and immediately expressed his hope that Zhang Ran would bring the film to Cannes. Zhang Ran did not agree, Cannes was not the best place for the film to premiere, and he did not want the film to premiere in Cannes. However, Zhang Ran promised Fumao that as long as there is a suitable movie in the future, Cannes will definitely be his first choice.

On the morning of May 28, "Scorching Sun" returned to Lin'an with the joy of victory, and at Lin'an Airport, a large number of media flocked to the airport, and the interview attracted the exclamation of the pick-up crowd. However, to the regret of media reporters, the main creators of the entire "Scorching Sun" crew are there, but only Zhang Ran is missing.

A reporter asked Wang Luodan: "Dandan, what about Director Zhang, why didn't you see him?"

Wang Luodan explained: "Mr. Zhang has gone to the United States, and I don't know what to do!"

Wang Luodan didn't lie, Zhang Ran did go to the United States. Next week, the annual E3 Game Show will open in Los Angeles, where Century Summit will release the company's latest VR glasses, and "Sun Scorching" will also announce the VR footage of the movie at E3.

E3 Game Show is a grand event for the global electronic entertainment industry, providing a good interaction opportunity for game manufacturers and players, and is known as the Oss of the video game industry, and has attracted the attention of countless game manufacturers and players. The group of game fans is very large, and games are a crucial part of the promotion of VR glasses, so Century Summit put the VR prototype on the E3 game show.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Zhang met with Hastings to discuss issues related to E3 and VR, and then he met with Rob Freman of Summit Entertainment to discuss VR movies. At this time, Zhang Ran remembered that Jing Tian was still training in Los Angeles, and it had been a few months, and he didn't know how this girl had practiced.

After meeting with Rob Freman, Zhang Ran drove to the training center on the outskirts of Los Angeles to see how Jing Tian was training.

As soon as Zhang Ran entered the training center, a staff member recognized him, ran over excitedly, and asked timidly: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhang Ran?" Zhang Ran shook his head and said: "Zhang Ran is in Cannes, I am Zhang Ran's cousin, my name is Zhang Xuan!" The staff was slightly disappointed when they heard that it was Zhang Ran's cousin, but immediately said excitedly: "Can I take a photo with you?" Zhang Ran didn't expect that he claimed to be Zhang Ran's cousin, and the other party still wanted to take a photo with him, and he thought it was fun, so he agreed.

After taking a group photo, Zhang Ran asked Jing Tian's location. The staff member was very enthusiastic and personally took Zhang Ran to a training room on the second floor. At this time, Jingtian was doing high-intensity physical training under the guidance of the coach.

Zhang Ran didn't disturb Jingtian's training, and stood by and watched from afar. It can be seen from Jing Tian's body that she has worked hard in the past few months, not only has she trained the vest line, but even the obvious muscles on her arms can be seen. A delicate little girl has become a woman, and she should have endured hardships.

Jing Tian's eyes were sharp, and he soon saw Zhang Ran. She immediately said to the coach and couldn't wait to trot over. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and her eyebrows curved into crescents: "Master, why are you here?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "I came to participate in the E3 Game Exhibition, our company will release the prototype of VR glasses at the E3 Game Exhibition, and the VR clip of the movie will be announced in "Scorching Sun". I remembered that you were training here, so I came over to see how it went. How's it going, you've been training here for a few months and you're feeling okay?"

Hearing this, Jing Tian's face instantly turned cloudy, and his eyebrows were full of grievances: "It's not good, it's not good at all." This training is hard, and the food must be controlled, and I can't eat anything else, I can only eat low-calorie food, and I eat nutritional powder and protein powder every day, and I want to vomit when I eat it. The more Jing Tian spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and his tears fell down like grapes that had been beaten with a rod: "Master, I want to eat spicy noodles! I want to eat hot pot! I want to eat mutton steamed buns! I want to eat, woo woo!"

Zhang Ran wanted to laugh a little when he heard Jing Tian's crying, this kind of training to maintain his body must control his diet, which is really painful for a foodie like Jing Tian, but he still said with a straight face: "What are you crying about?" I hate who cries in front of me the most. Do you think that just your diet, Scarlett Johansson doesn't have a diet? Hugh Jackman needs to eat a lot of protein to maintain her shape in order to play Wolverine, and everyone has insisted on it for more than ten years. How long have you been on a diet? If you feel like you can't stand it, then stop practicing, I'll find someone else to act!"

When Jing Tian heard that Zhang Ran didn't want to act by himself, he quickly wiped away his tears and said aggrievedly: "I didn't say that I couldn't stand it! It's still Master, I don't have any sympathy at all!"

Zhang Ran said coldly: "What is compassion, can you eat it? If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy! I want to be comfortable and relaxed, and I want to be a star! I only have an actor here!" Zhang Ran saw Jing Tian bow his head and said nothing, and said: "Your training in the past few months has really been hard, so let's treat you in the evening and take you to improve your life." What do you want to eat?"

Jing Tianzheng scolded Zhang Ran in his heart, saying that he was cruel and ruthless and had no sympathy, and now when she heard that Zhang Ran wanted to eat directly, she immediately stopped scolding, and said with a lot of saliva: "Master, I want to eat hot pot!"

Zhang Ran originally wanted to invite Jing Tian to a good restaurant for a good meal, but since Jing Tian wanted to eat hot pot, he naturally would not object. A few years ago, he visited Fan Binbin, who was training here, and Fan Binbin invited him to eat hot pot once, and the shop was good, so Zhang Ran took Jingtian to that shop.

Getting out of the car, Jing Tian stretched out his nose like a puppy and sniffed in the air, telling Zhang Ran: "Master, I can already smell the fragrance of hot pot." Zhang Ran's evaluation of Jing Tian was just three words: "Dog nose!" Jing Tian was not angry at all, but said proudly: "Master, I am not a dog nose, I am a food detector, as long as there is delicious food, I can smell it from afar." ”

Walking to the door of the hot pot restaurant, the aroma of the hot pot made Jing Tian's saliva almost flow out, and he couldn't wait to rush into the hot pot restaurant immediately and feast. But at this moment, Zhang Ran's footsteps suddenly stopped. Jing Tian felt strange, why didn't the master leave? She raised her eyes and looked at it, and the whole person was stunned.

Two meters away stood a mother and daughter, the daughter was in her twenties, with a pair of slender phoenix eyes, delicate facial features, and a slender figure. The girl is dressed very simply, a white T-shirt with denim shorts, Hollywood stars love to wear it in summer, simple and generous, and it looks energetic. The girl is very beautiful, like a fairy coming down from a painting, the only drawback is that her legs are a little thick.

Jing Tian recognized them as his senior sister Liu Yifei and her mother Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Yifei saw that Zhang Ran and Jing Tian's expressions changed at first, and then his whole face turned cold and twisted his head to the side. Liu Xiaoli didn't expect to meet Zhang Ran here, she was slightly stunned, and then smiled at Zhang Ran and said, "Teacher Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Zhang Ran frowned, and said with a cold attitude: "Yes, it's been a long time!"
