Chapter 1008: Chinese Cinema Is Getting Stronger

Whoever wins the actor wins the world, this can be said to be the truth in the entertainment industry. In the past, mainland movies were weak, and the mainland cooperated with Xiangjiang, and they all used mainland actresses to match Hong Kong's actors. Zhang Yimou's three costume films are mainly starring Hong Kong and Taiwan actors; Feng Xiaogang's "The World is a Thief" starring Andy Lau, and Chen Kaige's "Wuji" starring South Korean Zhang Dongjian. Even Zhang Ran is not exempt from vulgarity, "Bursting Drummer" starring Jay Chou, and "Time and Space Warrior" starring Keanu Reeves. At that time, the only mainland actor who could serve as a mainland actor in a commercial blockbuster was Ge You.

This is especially true in Hollywood, where in Hollywood movies you can see white people falling in love with Asian actresses, but can you watch Asian men fall in love with white actresses? Lin Yibin asked Han to talk to Gal Gadot in "Fast and Furious", but he quickly let Han hang up. Therefore, some Chinese people say that if one day an Asian actor can star in a romance film and fall in love with a white actress, it means that China is really strong!

The domestic situation began to change with Zhang Ran's "Three Fools", which was basically a newcomer's film and defeated Chen Kaige's "Wuji"; and then, Feng Xiaogang defeated Jet Li and Andy Lau's starring "Vote for Fame" with a "Assembly" without a big star; and then Zhang Ran achieved an astonishing record of more than 600 million with "Tangshan Earthquake" with a pure mainland team. Ning Hao and Ding Sheng's films are basically based on mainland actors, and they have achieved great success. By this time, many people realized that mainland actors were not necessarily worse than Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

Nowadays, no one will think how tall the Xiangtai star is, and even Hollywood stars like Mike Douglas have begun to appear in the works of new mainland directors, and they are still matching, but now it is really different!

After the half-hour interactive session, the movie was officially played. "Exotic" tells the story of a future when the population of the earth reaches 50 billion people and there is a food crisis. In order to meet the food needs of the overloaded population of the planet, people built the West Wheat Farm. Ximai Farm delivers a batch of food to the outside world every 10 minutes, and it has not been interrupted for 20 years. Suddenly, one day, Ximai Farm stopped delivering food to the outside world. This is a great deal for the planet. As a result, the government immediately sent an emergency team into the Ximai farm to find the cause of the accident.

After the emergency team entered the Ximai farm, they divided into two teams to act, Hu Jun and they thought they had entered the forest, but soon found that it was wrong, this was not a forest, but a corn field, and those plants on the high ground like trees were actually corn. Immediately afterward, one of the groups was attacked and killed by an unknown creature, leaving only the skeleton in 10 minutes.

The team led by Hu Jun realized that things were not simple and quickly rushed to the command center of the farm. Along the way, they find signs of fighting everywhere, the harvesting robot has also stopped, and the harvesting robot still has minced meat in its mouth. Upon arriving at the base, they discovered something even more shocking, as the computer showed that the time here was 917402 years.

The heroine played by Teresa Palmer told everyone the truth that the reason why Ximai Farm will send a batch of materials to the outside world every 10 minutes is because the area where Ximai Farm is located is more than 40,000 times faster than the outside world, so in 20 years, the area time of Ximai Farm has been more than 900,000 years, which is almost 10 minutes from the outside world is equal to a year here, which is why a batch of food will be delivered every 10 minutes.

Just as the protagonists are repairing the equipment of the base and preparing to return, a huge monster suddenly appears. It is a hexapod that has two pairs of forelimbs and a pair of hind limbs, one of which is muscular, very stout, eleven or twelve meters long, and has hook-like claws at the end of the toes. The other pair of forelimbs immediately behind them are slender and flexible, less than four meters long, and clearly have five fingers called "hands". Its neck was more than two meters long, and it supported a large, friendless head, with sharp teeth peeking through the gaping mouth, from which sticky saliva dripped down.

The audience on the screen was stunned when they saw the huge monster, and the scene resounded with a "hiss" gasp.

Zhang Ran smiled, the production level of this monster is extremely high, and it is not inferior to Hollywood's top blockbusters, and the special effects of this movie are all made by Tiangong Chongcai.

Hollywood's monster movies are either in the dark or at night. This requires relatively little technology and saves money. "Outland" is different, the monsters appear during the day, the picture is very clear, and there are a lot of close-ups. When the monster yells at the screen, the audience can even clearly see the saliva splashing out of the monster's mouth. This is extremely demanding for special effects, and Tiangong has done it, and it is done extremely well!

Zhang Ran remembered the interview he saw in his previous life, the reporter interviewed Peter Jackson, and talked about the problem of Chinese special effects. Peter Jackson said that when we were filming "The Lord of the Rings", no one in New Zealand could do special effects, so we bought computers, recruited people, hired senior special effects artists, and gradually developed a special effects company in New Zealand. The same thing can happen in China, as long as there is such a need and desire for the entire industry.

In terms of the level of special effects presented in "Outland", Heavenly Heavy Color has really caught up with Weta.

Now Zhang Ran can pat his chest and say, we have done it! At this moment, Zhang Ran feels extremely gratified!

On the screen, the team members were screaming, and the audience was screaming. In the end, the entire squad suffered heavy losses, and only three people escaped. They find the heroine's father, a scientist played by Mike Douglas and the inventor of the theory of speeding up time. He told Hu Jun that this theory has a huge flaw, that organisms in the time-accelerated region will evolve rapidly with time, while humans outside this area will not accelerate, so in the future, there may be creatures in this area that are higher than human intelligence, which will bring disaster to humans. On the other hand, time can only be accelerated, and after speeding up, it cannot be slowed down, and he did not announce this technology, but his student Ximai, published this technology with huge flaws, and built Ximai Farm.

At this time, in order to run for the presidency of the Earth Federation, Ximai is preparing to build a second farm. Mike Douglas went to dissuade him, and he shot and killed Seame, and then committed suicide. In order to eliminate the intelligent monsters in Ximai Farm, Hu Jun and the others reorganized a small team to enter the farm, and used harvesting robots to start a bloody battle with the monsters, and finally won a difficult victory.

Hu Jun and Teresa Palmer let the surviving team members leave the farm, but the two of them stay behind and break the coded door to the outside world. Once time is sped up, it is impossible to slow down, and the evolution of the creatures in the Ximai Farm continues. If they stay on the farm and guard the land, they and their descendants will evolve at the same rate as the creatures here, and humanity will always be ahead.

At the end of the movie, the screening hall burst into warm applause, whistles and screams. There has never been such a monster movie in China, and the special effects are so good, not losing to top Hollywood blockbusters such as "Godzilla" and "Jurassic Park", the audience is very happy to watch, and the response from male audiences is especially enthusiastic. In Hollywood blockbusters, we can only see white male stars and Chinese female stars falling in love and soaking up our girls, and now we can also fall in love with Hollywood female stars on the big screen and soak their chicks!

Yang Qing listened to the applause and cheers of the audience and knew that he had succeeded. He walked up to Zhang Ran, like a student waiting for his final grades, and said respectfully, "Teacher Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "You listen to this applause and cheers! For a commercial film, it doesn't matter how I watch it, the audience's reaction is the most important thing." However, I am really optimistic about this movie, and the domestic box office may exceed 2 billion! Feng Xiaogang is miserable this time! Not only will the box office be crushed by "Exotic", but with "Exotic" as a comparison, he will definitely be scolded to death by the audience and film critics!"

Yang Qing heard that Zhang Ran was so optimistic about "Exotic", just like a kindergarten child who was awarded a little red flower by the teacher, not to mention how happy he was. However, he didn't show it, and said with a little puzzlement: "Have you watched "Private Custom"?"

Zhang Ran remembered that he had leaked his mouth, and said with a haha: "I haven't watched it, but a few friends I know have seen it, and their evaluation of "Private Custom" is very poor!"

Next, Yang Qing and the others had to hold a press conference, so they didn't say much to Zhang Ran, and brought the crew members to the stage. Zhang Ran didn't have the need to stay, so he left.

When he left the cinema, Zhang Ran took a photo of the poster with his mobile phone and posted it on Weibo: "When I saw Yang Qinghe and "Exotic", I remembered myself and "Time and Space Warrior"! In the past two years, more and more young directors have taken the lead and carried commercial blockbusters. Wu Ershan's "Ants", Yang Qing's "Exotic", and the Spring Festival file Feixing's "Exquisite Ancient City". In addition, there are many young directors who are beginning to emerge, and Chinese films are getting stronger and stronger!"

Zhang Ran has posted relatively little on Weibo in the past two years, and only posted one in ten days and half a month. However, every time he releases a new meager release, he can get a lot of comments and retweets, especially a large number of celebrity retweets, and the attention is particularly high. This time is no exception, Wang Luodan, Jia Niliang, Bai Ling and others all joined in the fun, and instantly sent #exotic# to the top of the hot search list. Sohu, NetEase and other online media are all releasing news at the first time, with the headline: "Exotic word-of-mouth exploded, even Zhang Ran said it was good!"

When Zhang Ran returned home, Zhang Jingchu did not rest, and was holding her daughter to watch TV. The little girl had just eaten the milk, and she was very energetic, and when she saw Zhang Ran coming back and waving her little hand at him, she made a babbling sound, as if she wanted him to hug her.

Zhang Ran picked up the little girl and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, do you miss your father?" The little girl said "alien language" and looked very happy. Zhang Ran saw that the little girl was so happy, and she was very happy, so she kissed her little face.

The little girl began to happily let Zhang Ran kiss, but Zhang Ran kissed for too long, she was not happy, her mouth made a babbling protest sound, and her body leaned back, trying to dodge.

Zhang Ran said with a straight face: "Oh, you still dislike Dad! Hmph, Dad wants to kiss." As he spoke, he leaned his mouth over again, kissing again and again, making the sound of "Trojan Horse" and "Trojan Horse", and the little girl's protest became even louder.

Zhang Jingchu was amused by the father and daughter. Zhang Ran has a bit of a teacher's occupational disease and likes to teach people. Before the child was born, Zhang Jingchu felt that Zhang Ran would be a very serious father, but she didn't expect him to be an out-and-out "daughter slave".

As Zhang Ran expected, "Exotic" exploded at the box office. "Exotic" is the first big-budget monster movie in China, and the level is not inferior to Hollywood, and it soon set off a movie-watching frenzy in China.

However, Zhang Ran didn't pay much attention to "Exotic", let alone "Private Custom", his daughter was born almost 100 days ago, and he must celebrate well, he and Zhang Jingchu were busy with Zhang Luo's 100-day banquet.
