On the morning of June 31, Bai Jie, a reporter from Peking Evening News, came to the Peking Film Academy early to report on the graduation ceremony of the Asian Film Academy. The graduates of the Asian Film Academy are very expected, but the school teachers are even more expected, and the gathering of great directors such as Zhang Ran, Amamba, and Park Chan-wook is definitely worth a good report.

Walking into the Nortel campus, Bai Jie felt a strong sense of parting. Parting banners are hung everywhere on campus, because it is a film school, the banners are not as serious as other universities, and some are even particularly funny, such as "In the future, you should think of me when you eat alone!

Bai Jie has been a reporter for three or four years, and it is not the first time that she has reported on the graduation ceremony at Nortel, and she knows that the graduation ceremony is held in a standard screening hall. After entering Nortel, she went directly to the mark.

Before he reached the mark, Bai Jie saw that the open space in front of the sign was full of people. In the crowd, she saw students in blue master's robes, Stephen Chow, Ning Hao, and other directors in red and black-shirted tutor robes, but her eyes did not stay on these people for long, but fell on Zhang Ran, who was wearing an all-red principal's robe.

Bai Jie picked up the camera in her hand, quickly pressed the shutter at Zhang Ran, and sighed in her heart, the principal's robe was so ugly that she cried, but she didn't expect Zhang Ran to be quite handsome when she wore it!

After taking a few photos in a row, Bai Jie put down the camera and noticed that there were huge display boards on the left and right sides of the open space, one was a huge graduation certificate, and the other was a huge marriage certificate. The place where the photos of the two documents are pasted is hollowed out, and at this moment, there are people standing in the hollow places of the two documents, taking pictures.

At this moment, Zhang Ran in the crowd suddenly smiled and said: "Guo Zijian, Mr. Stephen Chow has spent a lot of effort guiding you, you must take a photo with Mr. Zhou and stand behind the marriage certificate!" Mr. Stephen Chow, don't hide in the crowd, hurry up and take a wedding photo with Guo Zijian!"

Guo Zijian stood behind the marriage certificate very generously, and Stephen Chow was more shy, smiling and waving his hand, and was finally dragged to the back of the marriage certificate by Wu Ershan and them. Guo Zijian seemed very relaxed and kept making faces at everyone, while Stephen Chow looked very serious and a little unsmiling.

Zhang Ran said: "Xingzai, what's the matter with your expression? It's like an arranged marriage!"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers burst into laughter, and Bai Jie couldn't help laughing: "Whose idea is this? This graduation photo is too funny!"

After taking two photos, Stephen Chow flashed out from behind the wedding photo, and when he saw Zhang Ran looking at him, he said loudly: "Wu Ershan, come here!" You are Zhang Ran's most optimistic student, how can you not take a photo with Teacher Zhang Ran?"

Wu Ershan looked at Stephen Chow, then at Zhang Ran, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, then let's take a photo too!"

"No problem, let's take a group photo!" Zhang Ran laughed, and then said to the other students, "When I finish taking pictures with Wu Ershan, a few of you will come over, and everyone will take a picture with me." With that, he stood behind the marriage certificate.

Stephen Chow saw Zhang Ran smiling and looked very relaxed, while Wu Ershan's expression was a little skinny, so he said: "Zhang Ran, you are smiling so happily, but Wu Ershan can't laugh, it's like robbing it, you are robbing marriage, right?"

The whole scene erupted in loud laughter, and the onlookers all leaned forward and fell back in laughter.

After a burst of laughter, Bai Jie suddenly heard a girl next to her say: "Xiao Ranran is really excessive, I don't agree to take a picture with him, what a stingy ghost!"

Another girl said: "Today is a graduation photo of someone's class, what are you going to do to make a scene!"

The girl was very unconvinced: "What's wrong with taking a picture? Wu Ershan is his student, aren't we anymore?"

Bai Jie felt that the girl's voice was a little familiar, and turned her head to see that this was not Yang Fan, so she quickly took out her camera and took two photos of Yang Fan.

Yang Mi saw that someone was filming herself with the camera, glared at Bai Jie fiercely, and said to Yuan Shanshan: "Shanshan, what's so nice about taking pictures, let's go in!"

The time soon came to nine o'clock, and Zhang Ran and the others also stopped taking a group photo and walked towards the label. Bai Jie also carried the camera on his back and walked towards the mark. It's just that as soon as she walked to the door of the mark, she was stopped by several girls wearing flight attendant costumes. Several girls are very beautiful, with good figures and temperament, and they are students of the acting department at first glance.

Bai Jie hurriedly took out the admission ticket, the admission ticket for this graduation ceremony is a little different from previous years, it is made in the form of a boarding pass, with information such as the departure station, the terminal station, and the boarding time written on it, and the entire graduation ceremony is called "Dream" taking off.

Entering the standard screening hall, Bai Jie looked up at the performance and found that the entire hall was already crowded. The auditorium, which can seat more than 1,000 people, has long been densely packed. On the big screen, photos of students' learning and activities at school are played, and each picture represents a memory, and the atmosphere of the whole scene is warm and cordial.

Soon after, Nortel's leaders and guests from all walks of life came one after another. Most of these people Bai Jie know, including Zhao Shi, deputy director of the General Administration, Han Shanping, chairman of China Film Group, Wu Ruide, CEO of Century Peak, Ren Zhonglun, chairman of Shanghai Film Group, etc., are all well-known figures in the circle.

At 9:30 a.m., the graduation ceremony officially began.

The national anthem was played, everyone stood up, and the atmosphere was solemn and grand. Immediately afterward, the lights in the hall went out, and the large screen on the stage lit up and the video clips began to play.

The short film was shot by students, called "Inception", the short film has the feeling of 11 Arhats, telling the story of twelve bad movie directors who go to the film city to steal the legendary "Movie Book" in order to become a big director. The whole short film is very thrilling, and it uses a lot of special effects, which is very Hollywood-style. Throughout the movie, the audience exclaimed from time to time. However, at the end of the short film, when the directors stole "Movie Book" and opened it to see that it was a steamed bun, which was simply a theft case caused by steamed buns, the audience laughed crazy.

After the short film, the big screen began to show the blessings of the teachers, followed by the bosses of various film and television companies and well-known producers.

Bai Jie sighed in his heart, the bosses of the mainland, Xiangjiang, Japan, South Korea, and American film and television companies have all sent blessings, this network of contacts is simply all over the world, and these students do not need to worry about the future at all! These students are in the first session, and there is only one major, and today the school will recruit the second one, and the majors have also expanded to five, and will cultivate more talents in line with international standards, this is what Zhang Ran said about industrialization, right?

The short film was soon finished, and the host came up to the stage and said with a smile: "Next, I would like to invite Dean Zhang Ran of the Asian Film Academy to give a speech!"

In the screening hall, both graduates and Nortel students cheered loudly and were full of voices.

"Zhang Ran!" "Zhang Ran!" "Zhang Ran!"

The students applauded and shouted Zhang Ran's name.

In the shocking cheers, Zhang Ran walked onto the stage with a smile.

Zhang Ran stood on the stage, looked at the students in the audience, and said affectionately: "Dear Dean Zhang Huijun, leaders, teachers, friends, and the students of the 2006 class of the Asian Film Academy. Today is a special day, the day when the 12 students of the 2006 class of the Asian Film Academy graduated, and the day when you officially entered the film industry after three years of school life. In the past three years, I have been looking forward to this day and looking forward to your graduation as soon as possible. But now, when you really want to leave, I think time flies so quickly!"

The students were all hit by Zhang Ran's words, and the atmosphere of the whole scene became sentimental all of a sudden.

Zhang Ran looked at the twelve students in the audience, took a light breath and said: "Asian movies used to be very brilliant, in the fifties and sixties a group of masters emerged in Japan, Kurosawa Akira, Ozu, Mizoguchi they influenced the whole world, and their films still inspire countless latecomers today; in the seventies and eighties, Xiangjiang films were marketed all over the world and were known as the Hollywood of the East, and a number of superstars with extensive influence in the world such as Bruce Lee and Cheng Long appeared. But in the past ten years, Asian films have declined, both the industry and the quality have declined seriously, and their influence in the world has become weaker and weaker.

One of the things I heard the other day at the Shanghai Film Festival is that in recent years, the festival has started to invite international stars to support the festival, and the most important questions for journalists have always been: 'What do you think of Chinese films?' and 'Which Chinese director would you like to work with?'. However, the reality is cruel, and none of these big-name stars can name more than three Chinese films. ”

The Nortel students at the scene all said "ah" and looked very surprised. In the impression of many people, Chinese films are more influential overseas, because Chinese films have internationally renowned directors such as Zhang Ran and Zhang Yimou, as well as art film directors such as Jia Zhangke who have won numerous honors for Chinese films at the film festival.

Now they can't believe it when they hear that these international stars can't even say three Chinese films, but they have to believe it because Zhang Ran said it.

Zhang Ran continued: "In 06, Meryl Streep attended the Shanghai Film Festival, and in the face of the above problems, she said at the time, I regret that I haven't seen many Chinese movies, I have only seen "The Aviator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the past two years, and the filming is so beautiful, the United States should screen more Chinese films. At that time, many media outlets were uncomfortable, saying that Streep did not do his homework and was purely a family trip to attend the film festival. In the years that followed, reporters found that Streep could name at least two Chinese films, and many stars couldn't even name one. At this year's festival, when Halle Berry was asked about Chinese films, he couldn't name a single Chinese director, and Cliff Irving, when confronted with the question 'What do you think of Chinese films?' said sorry, I don't know much about Chinese films. Ayelet Zuriel, the heroine of "Angels and Demons", said a movie, but after saying it, the reporters' faces turned green because she was talking about "The Last Emperor". ”

Many of the students present were stunned, they didn't expect the influence of Chinese films to be so weak.

Bai Jie nodded slightly, she participated in the report of the Shanghai Film Festival this year, what Zhang Ran said was what she saw with her own eyes, when those stars couldn't say anything, she was very sad in her heart. Fortunately, not all stars are like this, Huppert, Andy McDowell, Ewan McGregor and others can more or less name some Chinese films and Chinese directors, and the Chinese director they mention the most is Zhang Ran, and the movies mentioned the most are "The Aviator" and "Tangshan Earthquake".

In the past, Bai Jie admired Jia Zhangke and Lou Ye very much for art film directors, and felt that they were very high and won honor for Chinese films overseas, but what happened to the film festival this year, coupled with Wang Xiaoshuai's bombardment of Zhang Ran and them, was refuted speechless, she suddenly realized that no matter how many awards these art film directors won, they will also play a role in promoting Chinese films, and they can't change the plight of Chinese films, only Zhang Ran and them have this possibility, so she took the initiative to ask to report on this graduation ceremony.

Bai Jie looked at Zhang Ran on the stage, waiting for him to continue.
