Next chapter
On March 17, the movie "Aviator" held a press conference in Beiping. Zhang Ran is now the most concerned young director in China, and his fame is definitely not as good as Zhang Yimou, but it is not much worse. Therefore, media reporters flocked to the city, and some reporters who were not in Beiping even rushed over in a hurry.
The scene of the press conference was very lively, and the entire hall was packed with hundreds of reporters, and the ears were full of talking voices.
"Fellow journalists, please find a good place to sit down, and the director of this play, Zhang Ran, starring Zhang Jingchu, and Huang Lei are invited to appear. With the introduction of the press officer, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu, and Huang Lei slowly walked up from the backstage and sat in the center.
The appearance of the three main creators caused a commotion at the scene, the photographer frantically pressed the shutter, and the flash flashed wildly. At the same time, many reporters were whispering, and the whole scene was buzzing.
"This time the actor is Huang Lei, Huang Lei is more literary, it should be a low-cost literary film like "Bursting Drummer", right?"
"Not necessarily, maybe it's a sci-fi movie of the type of "Heartbreaker" again!"
"Huang Lei is really popular now, "The Heartbreaker" has just been painted, and he immediately took over Zhang Ran's play!"
After Zhang Ran sat down on the podium, he began to introduce his film to everyone: "The name of the movie is "The Aviator", which is different from the movies I made before, the style may be more alternative, and I will try some things in image and film language. The movie tells the story of a man building an airplane, a story about dreams. Of course, the whole movie is not as simple as a dream, it is more about struggle, life, and times. I chose three time periods for the whole story, 78 years, 92 years, and 97 years, these three periods are very representative years, I figured out the fate and persistence of the little people to show the historical changes of China in the past 20 years, I believe everyone will like it. ”
Zhang Ran briefly introduced the content of the story, but he didn't say much. Need to keep everyone's appetite aware. But even if he only briefly mentioned the content of the film, the interest of the reporters was still aroused.
"I'm right. It's a low-budget literary film of the type of "Bursting Drummer", but I'm still looking forward to it. Zhang Ran is not ugly even if he makes a literary film, how wonderful "Bursting Drummer" is!"
"I still hope that he will make science fiction films, now that a bunch of people in China are going to make science fiction films, Zhang Ran should teach them a lesson and let them know how to make science fiction films!"
"No matter what, Zhang Ran's movie is worth looking forward to!"
The process of the launch event is simple. There was no such thing as thanking the leader, and the whole conference was carried out concisely. So soon it entered the stage of interviews that reporters like to see, and the long guns and short guns all found their focus, aimed at Zhang Ran, and the flash flashed wildly.
During the interview stage, the press officer asks some questions, and the reporter is assigned by the press officer. Soon, under the command of the press officer, a reporter stood up and asked: "Director Zhang Ran, is the post-production of "Time and Space Warrior" completed? When will it be released? Everyone is looking forward to your science fiction film. Why do you make such a low-budget literary film?"
"You are too cunning, these are three questions!" Zhang Ran finished speaking, and the audience burst into laughter. However, Zhang Ran did not refuse and smiled. "Let me answer them one by one, the post-production of "Time and Space Warrior" has been completed, and we will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and it should be released at the end of July in China. Why did I shoot "The Aviator", because I like this story, the actor Qiao Zhengfei can see my own shadow, and I also want to try more in the language of the film. You think "The Aviator" is a low-budget literary film, I don't agree with this, the movie has quite a lot of special effects shots. There is also a scene of fierce air battles between the eighth master and F16, so the cost is not low. ”
Most of the reporters present didn't know what Zhang Ran was talking about. There are also those who know that the eighth master refers to the J8 fighter of the Air Force. After hearing the explanations of others, the reporters were very excited, but at the same time worried.
A reporter stood up and asked: "Zhang Ran, your movie has been told for 78 years, and there are air war scenes, can you pass the trial?"
The reporter's concern is reasonable, it is easy to be shot when it comes to movies from that period, and at the same time, it is also very troublesome for film and television dramas to involve foreign countries, and domestic film and television dramas are replaced by a certain country when they involve foreign countries. No way, there are many people in the higher departments who have soft bones. I was worried about upsetting the Americans when I filmed "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea", and now Zhang Ran dares to film the air battle between Chinese fighters and foreign aircraft, isn't this a ban!
However, Zhang Ran's film is in a special situation, and he has no concerns in this regard, he nodded very affirmatively: "Our film does not involve any political things, and the script has been reviewed, so there is no problem." ”
After the reporters asked Zhang Ran two questions, they threw the questions to Huang Lei and asked: "Huang Lei, can you introduce your role? As the actor of the movie, what do you think of this play?"
Huang Lei smiled and said: "I play a primary school teacher, and I am Jingchu's husband in the play, of course she doesn't really love me." I love this script so much that I am so moved that I burst into tears every time I see the final ending. This is a very ambitious film, Zhang Ran wants to outline the relationship between people and fate through the struggles and struggles of ordinary people in a specific era. I think this movie has the potential to become a classic like "Alive" and "Sweet Honey"!"
Hearing Huang Lei's evaluation, the current reporter was in a commotion, "Alive", "Sweet Honey" is a classic, Huang Lei's evaluation of this movie is too high, right?
Without waiting for the reporter to ask again, Huang Lei added: "One thing you are mistaken, the actor is not me, I am the second male lead in the play." ”
The reporters looked at the stage in surprise, there were only three people, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu, Huang Lei, it must be that the actor didn't come, did he deliberately lose everyone's appetite, or did he not come?
A reporter asked: "Director Zhang, I don't know who the actor is, why didn't he come to the scene?"
Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu, and Huang Lei looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "The actor is here!" Just when the reporters looked around, looking for traces of the actor everywhere, Zhang Ran pointed to his nose and said: "The hero is me!"
Now it was like a bomb had been dropped, and the buzz exploded, and the reporters couldn't believe their ears. Zhang Ran is the starring role?
"No, is it true or not?"
"Self-directed?"
The reporters are boiling, this is big news!
A reporter stood up: "Director Zhang, I don't doubt your acting skills, we all know that you are a teacher in the acting department, and you are usually interested in making cameo roles." What I want to ask is, why did you decide to star in this film yourself?"
Zhang Ran smiled. Explained: "My teacher said to me, as an acting teacher. You must be on stage, you must have a lot of experience in acting, otherwise your class will be just on paper and you will not be able to teach the students well. So whenever I have the right opportunity, I will play it, even if it is a small role. Our film is different from previous plays, and the characters themselves are a little similar to me. When I was writing the script, I was writing it myself. After reading the script, many people said to me, "It's most suitable for you to play the role of Zhang Ran, so I'll play it!"
After ending several more important issues, the attention of media reporters shifted to Zhang Jingchu, and the long guns and short guns were aimed at her. Although Zhang Jingchu's current popularity is not as good as Zhang Ziyi and Zhao Wei, she definitely surpasses Xu Jinglei and Zhou Xun, and can rank third among the younger generation of actors.
"Jingchu, hello. I am a reporter from "West China Metropolis Daily", this is the fourth drama you have lived with Zhang Ran, and this cooperation is different. Zhang Ran is not only a director, but also a star. How do you feel?"
Zhang Jingchu smiled and said: "I'm looking forward to it, you think, if Zhang Ran doesn't act well, I can say to him, Zhang Ran, what's the matter with you? Why are you acting so badly? Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" The reporters in the audience laughed. However, Zhang Jingchu added: "But this is impossible, he is much more professional than me, I can only think about it." ”
A reporter asked, "Is there a kiss scene this time?"
Zhang Jingchu pointed at Zhang Ran with a smile: "You ask him!"
Zhang Ran coughed, sat down and said, "Yes!"
A reporter immediately said: "Director Zhang." You don't want others to kiss Jingchu before you go into battle yourself, right?"
Zhang Ranwei shouted: "It's over, it's over, it's been recognized!"
The whole scene burst into laughter. For the relationship between Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu. Journalists all know what happened, and while they never admit it publicly, they never deny it either.
The press conference lasted for an hour, and it took about half an hour for reporters to ask questions, and the three main creators occupied the middle of the stage to accept everyone's photos, and then the press conference was officially completed.
Xinlang and Tencent took the lead in releasing the news of the "Aviator" press conference. In the afternoon, major media also began to report the news of the start of Zhang Ran's new play, and the news of Zhang Ran as the protagonist of the movie filled the pages of major entertainment newspapers.
Zhang Ran's new film "The Aviator" starred him personally, and Zhang Jingchu and Huang Lei joined at the same time. Zhang Ran revealed that there are a lot of special effects in the whole movie, and there are air combat scenes. We have reason to believe that this will be a work like no other. ”
Zhang Ran's new film "Aviator" is about to start, and a special start-up press conference was held. According to Zhang Ran, this is a movie about dreams, showing fate and social changes. We have reason to expect that Zhang Ran may create a classic again. ”
In major forums, countless netizens have expressed their comments, especially Zhang Ran's fans, who are looking forward to Zhang Ran's appearance on the big screen this time, and expressed great confidence in whether Zhang Ran can play this role well.
"Zhang Ran is going to make a new film again?
"Since Zhang Ran is self-directed and self-acting this time, I have long said that his image is too wasteful to be a director, and being an actor is the right way!"
"Fart, if Zhang Ran becomes an actor, who will film? Now domestic films are all bad movies, except for Zhang Ran and Ning Hao's movies, are there any movies that can be watched? Why can't Chinese movies work, but the director can't!"
"I think Lu Chuan is good, his "Looking for a Gun" is a good shot!"
"Bullshit, "Looking for a Gun" was nominally filmed by Lu Chuan, but in fact the director is Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen was banned from filming for five years because of filming "The Devil is Coming", and he could only enjoy it in other people's plays. When filming "Looking for a Gun", Lu Chuan was completely set aside by Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen had the final say! The only person who can compete with Jiang Wen in China is Zhang Ran!"
"I think Zhang Ran is more talented than Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen can't play science fiction blockbusters at all!"
"Damn, the eighth master picks the f16, I'm looking forward to it!
In the midst of the discussion in reality and the Internet, almost everyone who pays attention to the entertainment industry knows the news that Zhang Ran is about to start filming.
