Yu Dong was a little confused about Zhang Ran's intentions, whether he was going to come over to hit him, or something else, he squeezed out a super ugly smile: "Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'll just talk to you casually." Now some media predict that the Chinese film market may surpass North America in 2016 and become the world's largest market, what do you think?"

Yu Dong groaned: "Now that theaters have sunk to third- and fourth-tier or even fifth- and sixth-tier cities, activating the small town youth market, the growth of moviegoers will continue to maintain a high speed." At the current rate of development, it is possible to surpass North America in 2016. ”

Zhang Ran bowed slightly: "Now the Chinese film market is very hot, with an amazing growth rate, but a large amount of money is pouring into the film circle, which has also led to chaos in the entire circle.

Yu Dong sighed and said: "Yes, the film and television industry is too chaotic now, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are pouring into the film and television industry, they don't care about what will happen to the film industry, they don't care about what will happen to Chinese films, they just want to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit, and the lack of effective supervision by the state has led to all kinds of problems!"

Everyone present was very surprised to see Zhang Ran and Yu Dong talking, the relationship between Century Peak and Wanda was very stiff, and it was completely in a state of undying, and Yu Dong was the right-hand man of Wanda Film and Television, and now the two were sitting together and chatting about movies. A lot of people's first reaction is, I can't be mistaken, right?

After chatting with Yu Dong for a few minutes, Zhang Ran suddenly said with emotion: "You are one of the few people in China who can really calm down and make movies, we could have worked together to do a good job in Chinese films, how did we get to today's situation?"

Yu Dong also sighed in his heart, Yu Dong thought that with the resources of the Hong Kong circle and the Beijing circle in his hands, plus Wan Da held the second largest theater in the country, he could wrestle with Zhang Ran and the peak of the century. But after the actual war, he realized that he was wrong. He smiled bitterly: "This is probably fate!"

Zhang Ran looked at Yu Dong and said seriously: "I heard a story that a man got on the Titanic and was woken up by a loud alarm at night, and he ran to the deck and found that the Titanic was sinking. He came to the side of the ship, but all he saw was the dark, icy waters around him. The people on board were evacuating, but the women and children were leaving. There were only two paths in front of him, either sink with the big ship or jump off. This man is standing on a sinking ship and must now make a choice. The man made the choice and jumped into the icy waters, where he was lucky enough to be rescued, while most of those who jumped ship were dead. This story is for you, think about it!" Zhang Ran raised his hand and patted Yu Dong's shoulder gently, then picked up the plate and left.

Yu Dong knew that Zhang Ran was telling himself that he would be able to live without Wanda, otherwise he would be buried with Wanda.

In the past two years, Wanda movies have been suppressed miserably by the peak of the century, losing more and earning less. If it weren't for Yu Dong's holding of the resources of the Hong Kong circle, he would have been opened by Wang Jianlin a long time ago. In fact, Yu Dong also thought about leaving Wanda and starting again with the resources of the Hong Kong circle, but in doing so, he is likely to be hit by the double blow of the peak of the century and Wanda Da, and he will die even worse.

Now after listening to Zhang Ran's words, Yu Dong couldn't help but think about this problem, if Zhang Ran really let himself go, then leaving Wanda and starting the stove again would definitely be better than now. It's just that what Zhang Ran said is true or false?

Yu Dong quickly noticed that the other people present were looking at him at the scene, and their faces were full of surprise. He immediately reacted and knew that he had been overshadowed by Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran deliberately chatted in front of everyone, Zhang Ran's words to let him leave Wanda would definitely reach Wang Jianlin's ears, this is obviously a counter-plot! Zhang Ran on a dog day is too shameless!

The next morning, Zhang Ran had breakfast, went back to his room to rest for a while, and then went to the Palais des Movies to attend the premiere of "Frutville Station". Four films premiered at the Palais des Cinémaths today, two of which were officially in competition, "The Second Window" by Naomi Kawase directed by Toei, "The Scorching Sun" by Zhang Ran, and "The Last Subway" by the screening unit, and "Frutville Station" by a kind of attention unit.

Walking to the hall on the first floor, Zhang Ran took a house book, opened it and watched the ratings of the two main competition unit movies released yesterday. Abdramana Hisaco's Timbuktu scored 2.6, while Mike Lee's Mr. Turner scored a staggering 3.6.

Zhang Ran is not surprised at all that "Mr. Turner" got a high score, this movie is a biopic of British painter John Turner, the story is very simple, but it is such a seemingly simple plot, telling about ordinary life, but it has established a picture of Turner's relationship with family, friends and opponents during his lifetime, which is definitely a master.

The premiere of "Frutville Station" took place in the Debussy Hall, one of the three main entrances to the Palais du Cinémath, which has a capacity of 1,068 people. The photographs on the pillars of the inner hall are the photographs of all the directors who have been selected for a type of attention unit, because this is the main venue of a kind of attention unit.

Zhang Ran entered Debussy Hall and sat for a few minutes, and the crew of "Frutville Station" walked into the hall. Ryan Coogler saw Zhang Ran and immediately brought the main creator over to greet Zhang Ran. The leading actor Michael B. Jordan shook hands with Zhang Ran very excitedly, and said that he was a die-hard fan of Zhang Ran and hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate.

As soon as the crew of "Frutville Station" took their seats, the film began to show very quickly.

"Frutville Station" is a biopic that focuses on the last day of the life of a black young Oscar. Oscar, who has sold marijuana, been in jail and fired for being often late, is ready to try to start a new life in the new year, but at midnight he is shot dead by a white police officer at the station.

As a black director, it is easy to be emotional when making a film with this kind of theme, and it is especially easy to infuse personal emotions into the film, but Ryan Coogler shoots very calmly, does not have much evaluation of the incident, and leaves the audience with a blank space to think about the matter, this short, concise and concise style has achieved a back-to-basics effect.

In fact, Zhang Ran is also facing this problem, he is reluctant to put Zhang Chunru's story on the screen, in addition to the problem of film techniques, there is also emotional problems. As a Chinese, it is difficult not to be emotional when making a movie involving the Nanjing Massacre, and emotionality happens to be a taboo in making this kind of movie, once emotional, it is especially easy to use too much force, resulting in the whole movie being superficial.

Of course, "Frutville Station" is not without problems, in order to portray the image of Oscar, the director arranged for Oscar to direct the plots of frying fish, rescuing puppies, and helping pregnant women find toilets, etc., which have obvious traces of artificiality. However, as a rookie director, Ryan Coogler has a bright future for his first film to be made at such a level.

When the movie ended and the lights came on in Debussy's Hall, the first thing Ryan Coogler did was look up at Zhang Ran, and he especially wanted to know what Zhang Ran had to say about the movie. Zhang Ran didn't speak, raised his hands with both hands, and gave two thumbs up. Ryan Coogler grinned, and then the main creators of the crew hugged each other tightly.

Zhang Ran came out of the Debussy Hall and passed by the Movie Palace, and found that there was a queue of nearly a kilometer at the entrance of the Movie Palace, and what surprised him was that there were many reporters with pink certificates in the crowd.

The highest level of media credentials at the Festival de Cannes is white, followed by pink and pink. Among them, the white certificate is the top media and film critics, equivalent to VIP, and there is no queue problem with the arrival of the card; the pink plus point and pink certificate basically do not have to queue; and the reporters and buyers with yellow, blue, and black certificates often queue up an hour or two in advance, and they may not be able to queue up.

However, at the moment, there are at least 500 reporters queuing up to receive the invitation letter with pink ID cards at the scene. A reporter with a pink card in the crowd sighed: "Zhang Ran's movie has attracted too much attention, I didn't expect to line up six hours in advance, and it would line up like this." I wouldn't have watched the premiere of "Second Window" if I knew it. ”

The Cannes Film Festival does not sell tickets to the public, and ordinary movie fans can only ask for tickets in front of the Palais du Cinémath. At this time, in front of the Palais de l'Écoquette, there were people standing begging for tickets. The voters ranged from gray-haired old men to childish children, but the vast majority were young men and women. They held signs with the same inscription "Ask for an invitation to 'Scorching Sun'". They stood against the flow of people, like statues.

A Chinese journalist came out of the movie palace with an invitation letter and a happy smile, and a European beauty with Internet celebrity looks greeted her, and she said in English that she was willing to pay any price for an invitation to the premiere of "Scorching Sun". The meaning is obvious, as long as the little brother gets him a red carpet invitation to "Scorching Sun", he can accompany him.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Cannes, it is difficult to get a premiere invitation to a popular movie, and these Internet celebrities who have neither connections nor money can only pay their bodies.

But to Zhang Ran's surprise, the reporter's little brother said "ah" with a red face, and then fled. That embarrassed appearance made Zhang Ran laugh. Zhang Ran's laughter attracted the attention of many people, and countless eyes looked at him.

Fortunately, Zhang Ran went to the bathroom to put on makeup, put on a fake beard, and put on sunglasses after leaving Debussy's hall, and was not recognized. But the female Internet celebrity's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Ran, and she walked towards him quickly, so Zhang Ran also fled.

The time was approaching, and Zhang Ran was a little hungry. He went to a restaurant on the rue de la croisette, found a seat facing the sun, ordered a classic French meal, and feasted on it.

At the table next to Zhang Ran sat two reporters with pink IDs, one fat and one thin, discussing their respective arrangements while eating. The thin reporter said: "In the afternoon, I am going to squat at the Martinez Hotel to see if I can squat to Godard, he has not been to Cannes for more than ten years, and the opportunity is rare!"

The fat reporter was taken aback when he heard this: "Godard has come to Cannes? Godard has said that the Cannes Film Festival is chaotic, like a circus." The Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement asked Godard to accept the award on the spot, but he ignored it, how could he come to Cannes?"

The thin reporter said: "Godard is really here, to Cannes at eleven o'clock this morning!"

The fat reporter was puzzled and said: "It's so strange, how could Godard suddenly figure it out and come to Cannes? And didn't his film "Goodbye Language" premiere on the 20th? Why did he come so early?"

The thin reporter shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows? There may be something going on! Zhang Ran's film "Scorching Sun" premiered in the evening, maybe Godard came to attend the premiere!"

The fat reporter said categorically: "Impossible." Godard admired Abbas, saying that cinema begins with Griffith and ends with Abbas. Do you think he made a special trip to attend Abbas's premiere? Zhang Ran is nothing, how can he have such a big face!"

The thin reporter also felt impossible: "I just said casually, Godard's arrogance is recognized, how could he come to Cannes to watch Zhang Ran's films!"

Zhang Ran touched his face, thinking that my face was okay, not very big.
