February 15th is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the day when "One Man Puts on the Lights" and officially debuted at the Berlin Film Festival. On this day, the sky in Berlin was full of snowflakes and the cold was pressing, but it did not force the enthusiasm of the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Berlin and the international students.

When Zhang Ran appeared with the crew members, earth-shattering screams and cheers rang out at the scene. Fans chanted the names of the crew members, with Zhang Ran's voice being the loudest. Even foreign photojournalists parroted Zhang Ran's name in order to capture everyone's smiling faces.

The reporters were very satisfied with the red carpet of the premiere of "One Man Puts on the Lights", and it can even be said that they were overjoyed. There are a lot of filmmakers who came to cheer today, and the stars on the red carpet are almost as dazzling as the opening ceremony.

Because of the weather and because the Berlinale focuses on independent films this year, there are not many stars on the red carpet at the opening ceremony, except for British actress Tilda Swinton and Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger on the jury, there are no stars with global appeal.

Today's "One Man Shines" is not only Leonardo, Ben Stiller, Pierce Brosnan and other superstars, but also Scorsese, Yoji Yamada and other big directors. Scorsese's "Shutter Island" is the film in the screening section, and Yoji Yamada's "Younger Brother" is the closing film of this year's festival. Yoji Yamada's film was supposed to be released on the 20th, and under normal circumstances, he could go to Berlin on the 19th. However, in order to cheer Zhang Ran on, he came to Berlin early with the crew.

In addition to Scorsese, the directors of the main competition unit are more than half. Festival President Dieter Koslick is full of praise for "One Man Puts on the Lights", so much so that many directors know that this is a multi-part montage film. The multi-part montage has not been seen on the screen since "Apocalypse of War" and has disappeared for a full forty years. Now that the rivers and lakes are reappearing, everyone is rushing to cheer.

Zhang Ran couldn't stop greeting all the celebrities who came to cheer, and at the same time, he couldn't help but introduce Mersin, the best acting teacher in Germany, Grotowski's personal disciple. Everyone saw that Zhang Ran was extremely respectful to Mersin, and naturally they had special respect for her, and they couldn't help but greet her.

Mersin has been teaching for 40 years and has brought I don't know how many students, but basically they are all in the drama circle, and her reputation is not great, as a teacher, her popularity is even smaller, and it can be said that it is close to zero. Now seeing so many world-famous actors and directors greet her politely, Mersin feels the honor of being a teacher, and her heart is extremely proud.

The movie soon began, and the 1,600-seat hall was silent, all staring silently at the big screen.

The opening scene of "One Person's Lights" is recognized as excellent, and when the movie was released in China, even a newspaper like "Xinjing Daily", which had no discipline and took it as its mission to discredit Zhang Ran, did not dare to hack the opening of the movie. The audience reacted in the same way in Berlin, and after that five-minute black screen, the audience quickly resounded with an exclamation, and the audience was stunned by the opening of the film.

When "One Man Puts on the Lights" was released in China, the most controversial part was the smaller part, which was completely silent and the content was relatively jumpy, which was a kind of torture for many audiences. This is still the case in Berlin, when the movie was put in this part, many viewers felt very bored, and because the content was relatively jumpy, they couldn't see it very clearly, and in more than ten minutes, more than 20 viewers stood up and left one after another.

However, when the steel slag part was finished, the audience compared with the smaller part, and almost everyone had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and the whole scene suddenly resounded with warm applause.

Spontaneous applause from the audience during the screening of a film at the Berlinale is relatively rare, and it is even rarer for the premiere to be dominated by journalists. When Lao Huang desperately restrained the steel slag and relieved the danger, the scene once again burst into warm applause.

When the movie ended, the screening room of the Palais des Cinémées burst into a tsunami of applause, mixed with a large number of whistles and screams, so that the entire Palais du Cinémath trembled in the applause.

Leonardo applauded excitedly, genuinely moved by the film, but at the same time a slightly helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Zhang Ran's new film "Future Apocalypse" was originally looking for him to be the leading actor, but he felt that the role was too simple and lacked depth, and Clint Eastwood invited him to star in "Hoover", this movie can show his acting skills better and has more chances to hit the Oscars, so he rejected "Future Apocalypse", and now he regrets it a little.

Wang Quanan looked back at the audience behind him, in the dim light, you can see that everyone's face is filled with a sense of warmth and happiness, this movie was originally about loneliness, but after watching the movie, the audience felt the power to overcome loneliness, Zhang Ran dispelled the haze in his heart through Ode to Joy, and let the warmth stay in his heart. This movie is far superior to his own "Reunion" in terms of both the ideological realm and the use of audio-visual language, no wonder Koslick admires this movie so much!

The audience at the scene felt the power conveyed by "One Person's Lights", as if a ray of sunshine shone into the heart, dispelling all kinds of haze in the heart, leaving warmth and hope. For such a movie, they can't find any other way to express their respect than applauding desperately.

Feng Yuanyi stood beside Mersin and asked softly, "What do you think?"

Mersin listened to the applause around him, and his face was full of pride: "It's a great movie, you all acted very well, it's good to see a movie starring stunned on the big screen!"

At the same time, Zhang Ran was smiling and hugged Zhang Jingchu, he hugged Zhang Jingchu and patted her back: "Although you drove away some of the audience, the remaining audience liked this movie very much!"

Zhang Jingchu was so angry that she pinched him on the back, and scolded with a smile: "Why are you so reckless? Obviously, your handling of the movie caused some audiences to leave, and this can also rely on me?"

Scorsese didn't applaud, but ran over with Yoji Yamada in a hurry, and asked with a face: "You made this movie according to the structure of Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony", right?"

Zhang Ran was stunned, I thought no one would find out, but someone still noticed, worthy of Martin, he laughed proudly: "Multi-part montage was originally a theory created by absorbing multi-part music, so I referred to the structure of the Ninth Symphony when I was shooting, how did you find out?"

Scorsese thought to himself, sure enough, it was crazy, he shook his head with a smile, and said, "I am a big fan of Beethoven, and my favorite is the Ninth Symphony." I've heard it hundreds, maybe thousands. When I saw the halfway point, I had a particularly familiar feeling. By the time "Ode to Joy" sounded, I understood it completely. Shoot a movie according to the structure of Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony", you are really a madman!" he turned to look at Yoji Yamada and said with a smile: "Yamada, this guy is really a madman!"

Yoji Yamada is a native of Toei, and his speech is not as direct as Scorsese, but he can't help but say: "It's really crazy, to make the whole movie as a multi-part symphony, this is a real multi-part montage movie!"

When Scorsese heard this, he danced like a stimulant, and said, "Yes, this is a real multi-part montage! This is the multi-part montage film that Eisenstein pursued all his life and could not get!"

Zhang Ran wanted to talk to Scorsese and them, but the applause of the audience was too warm, wave after wave, and he refused to stop at all, he couldn't leave the audience alone, so he said: "The audience is letting us go on stage, I can't talk to you in detail, let's find a time to talk slowly!"

Scorsese looked up at the audience at the scene, and saw faces full of warm smiles, knowing that Zhang Ran would not leave if he was not on stage, the audience would not leave, and waved his hand and said: "Go, go, go, you can't let the audience wait all the time!"

Zhang Ran said hello to several leading actors and led everyone to the stage. Feng Yuanyi didn't want to go on stage and wanted to accompany Mersin below, but Mersin firmly disagreed, just like any mother, she wanted to see her child on the stage to receive the audience's cheers, and finally Feng Yuanyi and Zhang Ran walked on the stage together.

The audience saw Zhang Ran and them on stage, and the applause broke out in a more enthusiastic way, shouts and whistles were endless, and the warm atmosphere of the scene could be felt outside the movie palace. Hearing the shouts of the audience, Zhang Ran and the others all smiled and bowed to the audience, in exchange for more enthusiastic cheers and applause.

As a frequent visitor to the film festival, Zhang Ran is a frequent visitor to films, and he has long been accustomed to long applause; Li Xuejian has rarely gone abroad to participate in competitions, and he was surprised to see that the audience still kept drumming for more than ten minutes, so he asked Zhang Ran when the applause would stop. Zhang Ran replied, I don't know. Compared with the calmness of several men, Zhang Jingchu was much more excited, she spent a lot of effort for this movie, and now seeing that everyone likes this movie so much, she feels that her hard work has not been in vain, and tears flowed down her face.

The crew of "One Man Puts on the Lights" bowed to the audience six times to thank him, but the applause on the scene still showed no signs of stopping, and the audience didn't care about the stinging pain in their palms at all.

The whole applause lasted for 20 minutes, and finally the host had to tell the audience that Zhang Ran still needed to go to the press conference, and if everyone applauded non-stop, they would not be able to leave. At this time, the applause of the audience stopped, and Zhang Ran and the others, led by the staff, hurried to the press conference site of the Hyatt Media Center.

The 20-minute applause sounds crazy, but it is the most direct reaction of the audience, and it is the highest praise for any film.

After Zhang Ran and the others left, the audience also began to leave, and thousands of reporters in the audience even left their seats and ran out, all wanting to rush to the opposite media center and grab a seat among the hundreds of seats in the press conference hall.

The audience who walked out of the cinema was enthusiastically discussing the film, and the fans were discussing the content of the movie: "The black screen at the beginning is a tribute to Kubrick", "The confrontation between Lao Huang and steel slag is simply amazing", and the directors are discussing the film's technique and audiovisual language: "The black screen at the beginning uses sound to shape the off-picture space, which is simply incomparable", "The narrative of this film should be a polyphonic narrative, but it seems to be a little different".

After Scorsese walked out of the Movie Palace, he took out his mobile phone, dialed Coppola's number, and shouted in his machine-gun-like words: "Fran, I'm in Berlin now, and I've just finished watching "One Man Shines in the Lights." The movie is really great, something that neither you nor Eisenstein can do, it's a real multi-voice montage movie!"
