Next chapter

On the evening of August 6, CCTV's "News Network" broadcast the news of the seminar: "Recently, the Chinese-French co-production film "Time and Space Warrior" was released on a large scale around the world, achieving a box office of 450 million US dollars, which attracted huge attention. This morning, sponsored by the Literature and Art Bureau of the Ministry of Central Xuan and the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, and undertaken by the China Film Archive, the "Time and Space Warrior" seminar was held in Beiping......

The first to appear in the news was Luo Shugang, then Tong Gang, Han Shanping, and then it was Zhang Ran's turn. He said sternly: "Chinese films must go out, and they can also go out, we have a long history, rich traditions, splendid culture, and story resources contained in history, tradition and culture, which can be said to be inexhaustible." ”

Zhang Zhiqiang sat in front of the TV and looked at the screen dumbfounded, his mind was blank, Zhang Ran was on the "News Network"? My son was on the "News Network"? Then he shouted: "Old woman, come and watch the news, our son is on the "News Network"!"

Huang Ying was washing dishes in the kitchen, and when she heard this, the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and turned into splinters. But she didn't care, and rushed out of the kitchen: "Where, where?"

What is "News Network"? It is the mouthpiece of the government and represents the will of the government. Although it is often ridiculed that "the leaders are busy in the first 10 minutes, the people are happy in the middle 10 minutes, and the foreign people are living in dire straits in the next 10 minutes", it has not been able to deny its influence.

Even after ten years, many celebrities' movies on "News Network" can cause huge cheers from fans, not to mention that it is now 04 years, and the influence of "News Network" is much greater than ten years later.

For domestic audiences, who can be on "News Network", it is definitely a great thing. For Zhang Zhimin and Huang Ying, it is really an infinite glory to see their son on "News Network".

"News Network" reported on "Time and Space Warrior" for only 1 minute and 20 seconds, which is just a few blinks of time for ordinary people, but for "News Network", which is only 30 minutes in the whole process, 1 minute and 20 seconds is enough to be called a super long news report.

Within half an hour, Zhang Ran received more than ten text messages, all of which were sent by the students in Zhang Ran's class, and they all looked very surprised, Teacher Zhang, you are on the "News Network"? Teacher Zhang, you are not really handsome on TV! Zhang Ran was a little surprised, no, this group of rabbits will watch "News Network"?

was surprised, Liu Yifei called, and his tone was very cheerful: "Master, are you on "News Network"?"

"A person like your master is so popular, how normal it was in the last "News Network". Uh, buns! You can't watch "News Network", can you understand it with your IQ?"

"Master, you hate it! I just don't like to read it, how can I not understand it!"

"Yes, yes, I can't be too stupid when I'm an apprentice. But you must not have called me because of this, did you?"

"Master, you are amazing. Liu Yifei grinned, and then said in a coquettish tone, "Master, I'm about to celebrate my birthday, you didn't come last year, you must come this year!"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and asked, "What day is your birthday?"

Liu Yifei took a deep breath and was a little angry: "Master, you are really excessive! My birthday is the 25th!"

Zhang Ran thought for a while, and there was nothing else to do recently: "I know, I'll come then!"

On this day, on several large website forums such as Tianya, Sohu, Sina, etc., the matter of "News Network" on "Time and Space Warrior" has become a hot topic, and there is no precedent for "News Network" on movie news.

"Zhang Ran is on "News Network"? It's so good, this is equivalent to registering in the central government!"

"National leaders are also people, and they can also watch movies, I guess there must be some leaders who like Zhang Ran's movies very much, otherwise it would be impossible to be on "News Network"!"

"It's awesome, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" doesn't have this treatment, right?"

……

Of course, there is support and opposition, and many people think that "Time and Space Warrior" has swept the world, and it is indeed to promote the prestige of our country, but in essence, after all, it is just a movie and entertainment content, how can this kind of thing be put on a strict program like "News Network" that is related to the national economy and people's livelihood? This is too unstrict, too informal!

Both sides have their own reasons, first they argued, and then they became sprayed, so saliva and bricks flew together, praise and random spraying.

But in any case, such a discussion is a good thing for "Time Warrior", and controversy is the best publicity.

The main audience of "Time and Space Warrior" is young people, and there are relatively few middle-aged and elderly audiences entering the theater. But now the situation is different, many middle-aged and elderly viewers are loyal viewers of "News Network", "News Network" is the authority in their hearts, and now "News Network" is applauding "Time and Space Warrior", how can they not go into the cinema to see it!

What made Zhang Ran even more unexpected was that after the news was broadcast on "News Network", many public institutions and state-owned enterprises began to spontaneously organize charters. These units have trade unions, and they organize movies every year, but the movies they usually organize to watch are often the main theme movies, and everyone doesn't like to watch them. "Time and Space Warrior" is a movie on "News Network", and it is a blockbuster, and the staff must be willing to watch it, and everyone is satisfied with the charter of "Time and Space Warrior".

After that, Zhang Ran appeared on several CCTV programs, first talking about his experience in the "Dialogue" program, and then chatting and laughing with Chai Jing in "Face to Face", and then pulling the movie channel to do a light and shadow star podcast.

After these publicity, "Time and Space Warrior", which had already decreased its enthusiasm for watching movies, ushered in a new wave of movie-watching craze, and the cinema was crowded. Many middle-aged and elderly audiences who usually don't live in movie theaters have walked into the theater, which has shocked the eyes of all theater owners.

On August 16th, the box office of the new week was released, and the box office of "Time and Space Warrior" reached 285 million!

There is a blockbuster movie released this week, "A Thousand Machines 2" starring idols such as Fang Zuming and Twins. However, the box office of "Thousand Machines 2" fell below many people's glasses, and the box office in the first three days was only 8 million.

"A Thousand Machines 2" was considered a box office bomb by many people, but it was crushed by "Time and Space Warrior", which was released for a month.

Yu Dong was dumbfounded, the emperor was dumbfounded, what happened, how could it be so miserable? If you just look at the box office for a week, you will feel that this result is not bad, but "Thousand Machines 2" claims to have invested 80 million, according to the current state, the total box office may be 15 million, which is absolutely a loss of money!

This result is really unexpected, and no one thought that the results of "Thousand Machines 2" would be so miserable. "A Thousand Changes" has a box office of 40 million, this sequel has a larger investment, and it has spent a lot of money on special effects, which is known as the super style of the Hollywood blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings"; How could it have failed so badly?

Even Zhang Jingchu couldn't figure it out, and asked Zhang Ran: "Why is their box office so miserable?"

Zhang Ran explained with a smile: "The audience of "Thousand Machines 2" coincides with "Time and Space Warrior", students and young people. Our national movie tickets are too expensive, students and young people have limited consumption potential, and many people have watched "Time and Space Warriors" twice, so they will not have the ability to watch "A Thousand Machines 2". In addition, they are promoting special effects, and "Time and Space Warrior" also sells special effects, and after watching the powerful special effects of "Time and Space Warrior", it can only be miserable to see the special effects of "Thousand Machines 2". It's called no contrast, no harm. These are all objective reasons, and the most important thing is that "Thousand Machines 2" was really badly filmed!"

"A Thousand Machines 2" is a film made by Xiangjiang director Yuan Kui, so some good people exclaimed: "Another Xiangjiang director is in the hands of Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran, the Xiangjiang director killer, has opened the killing world again!"

The box office of "Time and Space Warrior" of 285 million broke the record of Zhang Yimou's "Hero" for the mainland box office of a Chinese film, raising the entire record by 35 million, and what is even more terrifying is that "Time and Space Warrior" is still strong, and breaking 300 million is just around the corner.

The next day, all the entertainment newspapers went crazy, and the front page headlines were all about Zhang Ran and the box office of the movie "Time and Space Warrior", and even many media outlets that did not deal with Zhang Ran were reporting on it.

"The box office of "Time and Space Warrior" broke the record of "Hero" and became the highest-grossing domestic movie!"

"Time and Space Warrior" won the championship, and the new generation of directors carried the banner of domestic films!"

"The box office of "Time and Space Warrior" is 285 million, and the king of domestic film box office is born!"

In all kinds of continuous reports, Zhang Ran's popularity and everyone's expectations for him have also climbed to the highest peak, and even Zhang Yimou is not much inferior.

Many people are talking about "Time and Space Warrior" and Zhang Ran, and even many old men are talking in the park: "Zhang Ran, this young man is good, better than Zhang Yimou." Although Zhang Yimou has won a lot of awards, he can't do it in the United States. Zhang Ran is different, even Americans were shocked when he made a movie, and won two championships in a row!"

"Zhang Ran is good, and he speaks Chinese well, but he is a foreigner after all, Zhang Yimou is different, that is his own person, I still think Zhang Yimou is good!"

"What, why is Zhang Ran still a foreigner?"

"He's a foreigner, isn't he just playing that Jason in the movie!"

"I said Lao Wang, the one you are talking about is Keanu Reeves, that is a foreigner, Zhang Ran is a film director, you are all mistaken!"

According to a survey report by Yin Hong, deputy dean of the School of Journalism and Communication at Tsinghua University, in early 2004, 46.6% of the audience thought that Chinese films were of poor quality, which is also the fundamental reason why people do not like to watch domestic movies, because many people think that domestic movies are bad when they mention them.

The reason why Zhang Ran is considered by many people to be the hope of domestic movies is because the appearance of "Bursting Drummer" allows everyone to see that domestic movies can be made like this, and domestic movies can be shot so well. This time, Zhang Ran did not disappoint everyone, "Time and Space Warrior" let everyone see that we can also make movies that are not inferior to Hollywood.

At this time, many people remembered Zhang Ran's original words, hoping to break the Titanic's record. At the time, everyone thought it was impossible, but now "Time Warrior" has only been released for a month. The box office has reached 285 million, which is only 75 million short of the 360 million mainland film box office record of "Titanic".

The top of the mainland film box office list is a foreign film, even if the film is a classic, it is a shame for Chinese filmmakers. Zhang Yimou's "Hero" launched a challenge, but he failed, and failed badly, and now it is the turn of the younger Zhang Ran to come out and challenge!

Many people eagerly support Zhang Ran in their hearts, hoping that "Time and Space Warrior" will break the record of "Titanic" and win the first place in the box office of mainland movies!

"Time and Space Warrior" has only been released for a month, and everything is possible! )
