Chapter 745: Test Screening Effect
"Diamonds are eternal, one is forever" is recognized as a classic advertising slogan, and it is this advertising slogan that makes diamonds a well-known term for women and children, and completely changes the traditional custom of Chinese weddings to wear gold and jadeite, making diamond rings the most beautiful souvenir of the love of the two.
Zhang Jingchu is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, hearing that Yu Feihong and Wang Luodan both praised their rings for their beauty, her heart was beautiful.
Wang Luodan stretched out her hand and touched the ring, her saliva was about to flow out with envy, the blue diamond on the ring was really more and more beautiful, she looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Teacher Zhang, how many carats of the diamond in the ring?"
Zhang Ran thought for a while and replied, "It seems to be 35.56 carats!"
Hearing this, Wang Luodan suddenly remembered a report she saw last year that a 35.56 blue diamond was auctioned at an auction house for a high price of 25 million, and she suddenly shouted: "This can't be the blue diamond that was auctioned last year, right?"
Zhang Ran corrected: "It's the Wittelsbach Blue Diamond!"
Wang Luodan looked at Zhang Ran, then at the diamond on Zhang Jingchu's hand, reached out and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Teacher Zhang, if I snatch the ring and turn around and run, what will you do?"
Zhang Ran touched his chin and said with a smile: "Beat you half to death, and then hang it on the hospital gate with big letters, robber!"
Wang Luodan thought for a while, and said depressedly: "Then forget it!" She turned her head to Zhang Jingchu and said, "Sister Jingchu, you better put away the ring, otherwise I really can't suppress the impulse in my heart, I may really grab it and run away, wearing such a valuable ring on my hand is really tempting to commit a crime!"
Yu Feihong smiled and said, "Dandan, let your family Jichen buy you one!"
Wang Luodan shook his head and said: "Even if we sell our Jichen ten times, we can't afford it, this ring is 25 million diamonds alone!"
Yu Feihong said: "Ji Chen is quite popular now, he has received a lot of endorsements, there is no problem with tens of millions a year, you can buy it after saving it for two or three years!
Wang Luodan smiled bitterly: "Sister, it's 25 million US dollars, not RMB!"
Yu Feihong was taken aback, the diamond alone is worth 25 million, then the entire ring is probably 30 million! A ring is 30 million US dollars, which is too extravagant! She looked at Zhang Jingchu's ring and said to Wang Luodan: "Dandan, why don't we join forces?" knock Jingchu and Zhang Ran unconscious, snatch their rings, and then split them in half!"
Wang Luodan smiled: "Okay, good!"
Zhang Jingchu knew that the ring was definitely not cheap, but she didn't ask how much it was, and when she heard that the diamond was worth 25 million US dollars, she was startled, looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "This, is it expensive?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "As long as you're happy!"
If such an expensive thing is lost, wouldn't it be crying to death! Zhang Jingchu hurriedly took off the ring, put it in Zhang Ran's palm, and said, "Take it, go home!"
At nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Feihong and the others left. Zhang Ran chatted with Zhang Jingchu for a while, took a piece of paper and a pen from his bag, put it in front of Zhang Jingchu, and said: "Each of us will have bad emotions in our hearts, or when there are negative emotions, actors who always play roles such as inner pain or depression are especially prone to psychological problems. β
Zhang Jingchu smiled at Zhang Ran and shouted, "Zhang, old, teacher!"
Zhang Ran touched Zhang Jingchu's head and praised: "Ouch, Zhang Jingchu's little friend is so good!" Zhang Jingchu slapped Zhang Ran's hand and looked at him. However, Zhang Ran pretended not to see it and continued: "Now write down the bad emotions in your heart, the things that make you unhappy, on this piece of paper. β
Zhang Jingchu took the pen and thought about it, and then wrote, will Zhang Ran like other girls? Will he always love me? In short, she wrote all kinds of worries in her heart on the paper.
Zhang Ran didn't look at what Zhang Jing had written at the beginning, and turned his head to the side.
After Zhang Jingchu finished writing, she said, "Okay, it's over!"
Zhang Ran turned his head, took out a lighter from his bag, put it in Zhang Jingchu's hand, and said solemnly: "Now use the lighter to light this piece of paper and burn all the bad emotions in your heart!"
Zhang Jingchu blinked, feeling that this move seemed a bit naΓ―ve, which reminded her of some plots in romance movies, after a man and woman in love broke up, they would burn each other's photos, and she felt that it was very silly. However, when she saw that Zhang Ran was very serious, she still used a lighter to set the paper on fire.
Zhang Ran stared at Zhang Jingchu's eyes and said slowly: "Now you look at this piece of paper, watch it burn, and imagine that the bad emotions in your heart are also slowly burning!"
Zhang Jingchu looked at the flames on the white paper and imagined that her heart was burning.
When the whole piece of paper turned to ashes, Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Now that all your bad emotions have burned out, take a deep breath and exhale all the ashes left in your heart!"
Zhang Jingchu took a deep breath and exhaled hard. With this exhalation, she felt that the whole person was completely relaxed, and her heart was extremely comfortable, so she kissed Zhang Ran on the mouth: "Thank you, thank you!"
In the next few days, Zhang Jingchu began to receive rehabilitation training, just like a child learning to speak, starting from learning pronunciation, learning pronunciation, then saying common words, such as eating, drinking, good, etc., reading the words on the card in the nurse's hand, and then teaching two-tone words, phrases, short sentences, long sentences, etc.
After a week of treatment, Zhang Jingchu made a complete recovery. Zhang Ran even felt that she seemed to be speaking more sharply than before, talking like a machine gun, and she didn't speak for more than half a year, and she was also suffocated!
After Zhang Jingchu recovered and was discharged from the hospital, she pulled Yu Feihong to discuss the matter of "All Nights in the World", Wang Luodan also got involved from time to time, and was very happy all day long; Zhang Ran was also much more relaxed and could spend more time on movie editing.
Half a month later, the editing of "One Man's Lights" was completed, and then another week was tossed, and the soundtrack was roughly completed. At this time, Zhang Ran held a small-scale test screening at the top of the world, inviting Ning Hao and several of their directors to watch it, and the effect of the film test screening was shocking.
Ning Hao and Ding Sheng all knew that Zhang Ran would experiment with multi-part montage in the movie, and as directors, they also knew the difficulty of this. Multi-part montage is to use a film as a musical score to create, each melody is independent, all sounds are according to their own voices, layered with each other, as the elements of film language composition of shots, pictures, subtitles, sounds, montages, depth of field, time, space and actors, etc., can be regarded as the voice of the symphony orchestra, and finally constitute a perfect symphony.
There are three main voices in the movie "One Man Lights Up", that is, the three protagonists of the movie, Lao Huang, Xiao Xiao, and Steel Slag, all three of them are independent of their own will, they start from their own perspectives, and they make their own voices, sometimes in unison, sometimes in fugue form, sometimes in counterpoint, from the joint completion of a multi-part symphony about loneliness.
Of course, it is not the use of polyphonic narrative or multi-part montage, the key is the comprehensive use of various montages, especially the dialectical combination of sound and picture, that is, the use of sound montage. "One Person's Lights" is unique in the comprehensive use of music, sound, and vocals. The black screen of the opening five minutes of the movie uses various sounds to construct a real space for the audience. In the confrontation between the steel slag and Lao Huang Supermarket, outside the picture, the sound of sirens, horns, the sound of the police talking, and other noisy sounds, in addition to the passionate melody of "The Internationale", in these rich sound sounds, the noise of reality and the despair and loneliness of the characters form a sharp contrast.
After watching "One Person's Lights", Ning Hao and the others all stood up and looked straight at Zhang Ran, like little fans looking at their idols. Ning Hao said excitedly: "It's really a multi-part montage, except for shock, I don't know how to describe my inner feelings!"
Zhang Ran said modestly: "How can it be so exaggerated, I have found a bunch of problems!"
Ning Hao said sincerely: "Mr. Zhang, do you know? I have always believed that the opening scene of "2001: A Space Odyssey" is the most awesome opening scene, but today I saw an even more awesome opening! The subjective lens turns to the objective lens, and then to the subjective lens, the sound montage turns to the picture montage, and then immediately takes the back montage, so many changes are all completed in one shot! What is awesome! This is called awesome! What is genius?
Ding Sheng and they were all nodding, and what Ning Hao said was also what they wanted to say, and they only had one word for Zhang Ran. They will never be able to make such a movie even if they spend their entire lives, and making this kind of movie does not rely on skill, but on talent. It can be said that there is no director who can shoot this kind of scene, otherwise multi-part montage would not have disappeared after "Apocalypse Now".
And now, after almost forty years of vanishing, the multi-part montage has finally reappeared!
Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay! I asked you to come today, I didn't want to hear this." Let's talk about the problems with the film, this movie is an experimental film, I need all kinds of objections, tell me about the problems you have found!"
Ning Hao was brought out by Zhang Ran, knowing his character, he said directly: "The opening of the movie is so good, it can definitely leave a name in film history, but at the end of the movie, especially the ending, it feels bad, I think it should be sublimated again!"
Zhang Ran also feels the same way: "I also feel the same way, that is, the pattern is a little small, a little indulged in personal small emotions, it should be raised a little higher, and the thinking about loneliness will be raised from the perspective of the city to the entire human race, and even the entire universe life, and then sublimate the theme of the film." β
Ding Sheng expressed his concerns: "There are too many long shots in the movie, which leads to a slow pace of the movie. Now the audience likes fast-paced movies, "One Person's Lights" is so slow, there must be some audiences who can't accept it, and the movie's reputation may not be too good, and it is likely to be scolded?"
Zhang Ran looked at this problem very openly: "No way, if you use internal montage, you must use a long shot, there is no other choice, just let me be willful!"
At this moment, Zhang Ran's mobile phone rang suddenly, he picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but he still connected: "Hey, hello!"
The phone came in English, and the speaker's voice was a little old: "Hello, is it Mr. Zhang Ran?"
Zhang Ran replied: "It's me, I don't know who you are?"
"I'm Dieter Koslick. After the other party announced his name, he continued, "Zhang, how is your new film being made? I hope that the film will be able to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, and if I can, I hope to be able to see this film as soon as possible!"
Zhang Ran originally planned to send "One Man with Lights" to the film festival competition, in terms of time, Berlin is undoubtedly the most suitable, so he said: "We finished making a version, but the effect is not too good, there are a lot of shots that need to be reshot, and it is still a semi-finished product, so I'll show it to you when it's really finished!"
Dieter Koslick said: "I came to China for your new film, you can't let me run for nothing!"
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Ran couldn't refuse: "Are you in Beiping? I don't know where you live? China Hotel! Okay, I know!"
