When Zhang Ran heard this, the image of Da Vinci suddenly appeared in his mind. He thought about it for a while www.biquge.info and learned Shi Banyu's voice and said: "It's been ten years, it's been ten years, and I thought the country had forgotten me at all." ”

"How can it be, even a pair of underwear and a piece of toilet paper have its use. Han Sanping laughed, but he immediately added, "It's not a joke, it's really something." Zhang Heping, do you know?"

Zhang Ran was stunned, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere, and couldn't help asking, "Which Zhang Heping?"

Han Sanping said: "The former general manager of Forbidden City Pictures, later transferred to the director of the Beiping Cultural Bureau, and now the vice chairman of the Beiping CPPCC, is recently responsible for the collection of plans for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. He just called me and asked you to be able to bid for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. ”

Zhang Ran knew who this person was, he had watched the documentary "Zhang Yimou's 2008", and knew that this person was later the minister of the working group of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and was transferred to Renyi as the dean after the Olympics.

Recently, the Olympic Organizing Committee's public solicitation of proposals for the opening and closing ceremonies has caused a lot of uproar, and it is impossible for Zhang Ran not to know, but this matter is too complicated and difficult, and he has no intention of participating: "Professional matters should be handed over to professionals, I have no experience in participating in large-scale performances, and such a big project cannot be played!

Han Sanping explained: "You don't know, Zhang Yimou was already determined to be the chief director, but last year's eight minutes in Athens were unsatisfactory, and there was a lot of scolding all over the country, inside and outside the circle. The Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games is also under a lot of pressure now, so it has carried out this open call for proposals. ”

As half of Lao Mouzi's fans, Zhang Ran has watched the documentary of the Olympic Games and knows this very well. Things are indeed as Han Sanping said, Zhang Yimou was originally determined to be the chief director of the opening ceremony, but it was not made public. But at last year's closing ceremony in Athens, an eight-minute performance by the Chinese delegation changed things.

This eight-minute performance is very similar to "Ambush on All Sides", which has been praised abroad, but there is a flood of scolding at home, believing that Zhang Yimou failed to get out of the framework of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", lacked imagination, and failed to show the origin of Chinese culture and sports in the precious eight-minute time, but only carried out a boring theatrical performance.

The leaders and the masses either gave direct instructions or wrote letters, saying one after another that Zhang Yimou must not be allowed to be the chief director. Due to the overwhelming opposition, the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games held a press conference on the 1st of March this year to solicit creative proposals for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games from the whole society.

The chief director of the Olympic Games is really not something anyone can do, even if Zhang Ran copies the idea of the Beiping Olympics in his memory and asks him to operate it, the possibility of messing up is very high.

The biggest risk of the Peking Olympics is the LED and reels on the ground, on which tens of thousands of people perform, causing parts to deform and often malfunction. In the two rehearsals before the official start of the Olympic Games, the LED circuits were short-circuited many times, a large black screen appeared, and the reels were jammed during the rehearsal. When it comes to the official performance, in case the scroll does not move, in case there is a large black screen, how can you explain it to the national audience?

Zhang Ran is now famous enough, and he doesn't need the Olympics to add glory to himself, so he really doesn't want to wade into this troubled water: "Mr. Han, please explain to the Olympic Organizing Committee." The movie "Three Fools" is about to start, and it will already be June after filming. Our class is in its senior year, and the students are about to graduate, so I can't leave them alone. After taking them for four years, I had to send them to graduation by hand. The opening ceremony is closed at the end of July, and I really don't have the time or ability to do this!"

Zhang Jingchu's new drama "Huo Yuanjia" still has half a month to start, and before it is time to join the group, she doesn't want to be separated from Zhang Ran, so she goes to Xiamen with Zhang Ran today. At this moment, when she heard the Olympic Organizing Committee and the opening ceremony, her eyes widened, the Olympic Organizing Committee really invited Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran actually refused! Wow, so handsome!

Since the end of the Athens Olympics last year, the media and the Internet have not stopped calling for a change of director. The highest voice is Ang Lee, rich in traditional culture, plus holding the Oscar, is the best candidate in the hearts of countless people; then there is Chen Kaige, "Wuji" has not yet been released, Chen Kaige's reputation has not been smashed, and he is still the top director in the hearts of the audience; Zhang Ran ranks third because he is too young and has no experience in directing large-scale events.

However, after "The Aviator" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar for Best Director, Zhang then came to the top and became a popular candidate in the hearts of netizens. The reasons of netizens are very sufficient, Zhang Ran's directorial artistic skills are not lower than Zhang Yimou. At the very least, he has received recognition from the mainstream film industry. Golden Lion, Golden Globe, Oscar nomination for Best Director. He also has experience in controlling large scenes, and Zhang Yimou will definitely not be able to shoot "Time and Space Warrior", and his grasp of new technologies and modern culture is also above Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Jingchu felt that the analysis of netizens was very reasonable, anyway, in her heart, Zhang Ran was the best. If Zhang Ran can really be the director of the Olympic Games, then she will definitely be very proud, this is the supreme honor. However, Zhang Ran rejected her and also supported her, she believed that Zhang Ran must have his own ideas.

Zhang Ran's rejection of the invitation of the Olympic Organizing Committee was a bit surprising, but Han Sanping was not dissatisfied, but a little happy. If Zhang Ran goes to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, he may not be able to make a movie for two or three years, and China Film will lose a lot of income. Of course, as an old Jianghu, he didn't show any excitement: "Okay, I know what to say!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran shook his head and exhaled, I hope this is the end of the matter, don't toss and see, Director Zhang Yimou is really the best candidate!

After getting on the plane, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu took off their sunglasses and masks and sat down. Zhang Jingchu leaned on Zhang Ran's shoulder and circled his chest with her fingers: "Han Sanping invited you to participate in the Olympics just now?"

Zhang Ran hummed: "Let me participate in the solicitation of creative proposals for the opening and closing ceremonies!"

Zhang Jingchu said puzzledly: "Many people think that participating in the Olympics is a supreme honor, why don't you participate?"

Zhang Ran shook his head lightly: "If you want me to help the Olympics and let Tiangong Chongcai provide image support for the Olympics, then I am willing to accept no money." But not everyone can be the chief director of the Olympic Games, and the most suitable person should be allowed to do it. It's stressful and risky, and I don't want to be burdened by that. It's a good thing to say, but what if it fails? Any Chinese, even Chinese, as long as they see me, will point to my nose and say, Zhang Ran, you caused us to lose people once. Then I am afraid that I will have to go into exile overseas, and from then on hide incognito and hide in the jungles of Africa to be a wild man. At that time, I'm afraid even you will say, Zhang Ran, you are a good person, but we are not suitable!

Zhang Jingchu smashed her fist: "Nonsense, am I that kind of person! If you go to Africa to be a savage, then I will be a female savage!"

Zhang Ran hugged Zhang Jingchu and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not just a matter of risk, I really don't have time and energy. The idea of doing such a large-scale event can be imaginative, but your idea must consider the possibility of implementation. For example, what I'm best at is imaging technology, and when I come to do the opening ceremony, I definitely do it as a movie, and I will use a lot of LEDs, and I will also spread LEDs on the ground. There is a technical problem here, what screen to use, whether it can withstand the trampling of tens of thousands of people, then you have to do experiments and get the data out. Another example is the scheme of the ignition table, you also have to do a structural test to verify the feasibility of this ignition scheme. If there is no experiment, no data to support it, then this plan is not feasible and convincing, it is equivalent to writing in vain. I don't have the resources or the time to do it, so it's better not to participate!"

Zhang Jingchu felt that this was very reasonable, but asked again: "Why did Director Zhang Yimou do it?"

Zhang Ran explained: "Director Zhang Yimou has experience, and the opera "Turandot", the ballet "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Impression Liu Sanjie" and other impression series, these are all large-scale performances. And I heard that they formed a joint team with the American Jack Morton company this time, Jack Morton is the producer of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Athens Olympic Games, the creativity of Zhang Yimou's team, plus the production of Jack Morton, everyone else is accompanied to apply. ”

Zhang Jingchu said: "If you have a team, you will definitely do better than them!"

Zhang Ran didn't explain, just shook his head gently, he had watched the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beiping Olympic Games, and it was really too difficult to win against Zhang Yimou and them!

As soon as they got off the plane, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu took the nanny car arranged by the crew and rushed to the crew's station. The actors and most of the staff of the crew have not yet arrived, as long as Zhao Fei and Ding Sheng, the main creators, as well as the people from the art team, have arrived, and they are busy with the preliminary preparations for the movie.

After Zhang Ran put down his luggage, he didn't rest, so he asked Ding Sheng to notify the main creator of the crew to hold a meeting.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu went directly into the conference room, and after waiting for a few minutes, Zhao Fei and the others arrived one after another.

"Alright, everyone is here, let's have a meeting. The people present are all old teams who have worked with Zhang Ran for several years, and there is no need to be polite, Zhang Ran went directly to the topic, "How are the people in each group doing?

The story of "Three Fools" is divided into two time and space, 2005 and 2015. The 2005 props didn't require much effort, but the 2015 part of the props took a bit of effort. Zhang Ran hopes that in 2015, the audience will rewatch this movie and find that the costumes and props in it are the same as in real life.

In order to achieve this effect, Zhang Ran drew a sketch of the props and costumes according to the appearance in his memory, and asked the props team to find a way to make it.

The people of each group briefly introduced their respective situations to Zhang Ran, the props have been prepared, and the scenery has been arranged. As long as Zhang Ran gives an order, filming can officially start at any time.

Zhang Ran was very satisfied, stood up and said, "Then let's take a look at the props first, and then go and see the scenery!"

Ding Sheng suddenly remembered something: "That's right, director." Xiamen University is very supportive of us, but they also have a request that they want you to give a speech to the students. ”

Zhang Ran was stunned: "Is there any specific request for the speech?"

Ding Sheng shook his head: "No, I just want you to interact with the students." President Zhu admires you very much, and he said that if it is convenient, he hopes to communicate with you in person. ”

In fact, Zhang Ran was not interested in the speech, and felt that it was meaningless, and he was invited to Nortel's college lecture hall several times, but he didn't go. However, he really couldn't refuse the invitation of Xiamen University, and he didn't agree to such a small request, so he definitely couldn't say it, and nodded slightly: "You have the other party's phone number, right? Okay, I'll call him later, let's get busy with our own business first!"

At this moment, Zhang Ran's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he picked it up, it was an unfamiliar number. He frowned, but still connected: "Hey, hello!"

"Hello, is that Zhang Ran? I'm Zhang Heping. The voice of a middle-aged man. (To be continued.) )
