Walking along the uninhabited deserted beach, a small church soon appeared in front of Zhang Ran and them. The red roof, snow-white walls, and gray-black spired bell tower are typical of Northern Europe, almost indistinguishable from the church in Bergman's films.

After the wedding, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu spent two days on Lanai Island and began their honeymoon trip. They experienced a great experience in Africa, then went for a walk around Oceania, and then flew to Europe.

While wandering around a small town in France, Zhang Ran saw a Bergman movie in a DVD rental store, so he wanted to see Faroe Island, and then he and Zhang Jingchu flew to Sweden.

Walking into the church, Zhang Ran saw an old woman dressed in black praying in the quiet church. When the old man saw Zhang Ran and them come in, he stood up silently and walked out. The church, like other village churches in Northern Europe, has a simple and solemn atmosphere, with frescoes and sculptures depicting the Virgin of the Father and Mary looking down on the world.

Zhang Ran and the others didn't stay long, and came to a cemetery surrounded by flowers at the back of the church. The size of two basketball courts, littered with low tombstones and crosses. In the most remote corner of the cemetery, Zhang Ran found Bergman's tomb, a large gray-brown stone tombstone with half a tabletop, standing quietly on the ground. The stele is engraved with the dates of birth and death of Bergman and his last wife, Ingrid, and in front of the tomb is a bush of dwarf chrysanthemums, white and purple, with a flaming geranium in the center.

Zhang Jingchu walked to the tomb and placed the flowers in her hand under Bergman's tombstone. As a woman, Zhang Jingchu didn't like Bergman, this guy has been married five times, sleeping with the heroine of the movie is just a routine, too, but this lustful old man once pointed out Zhang Ran who was lost and told him to love his family, so she still prepared a bouquet of flowers for Bergman.

Zhang Ran squatted down, put the Blu-ray DVD of "One Man Lights Up" in front of the tomb, looked at Bergman's name on the tombstone and said slowly: "This is the most satisfying movie I have so far, I believe you will like it too." If only you were alive, I'd love to talk to you again. At the beginning, you said to me that if the movie world was a house, most people would be able to enter the yard, but they would always wander in the yard. I didn't understand it at the time, but now that I've seen the door, maybe the next movie will allow me to actually walk into the room. I have a lot of thoughts, a lot of feelings, and I want to communicate with people, but I can't find someone to communicate with, how good it would be for you to be alive......"

Zhang Ran chattered and spoke, telling his inner feelings, his thoughts and experiences in the past few years, about movies, about loneliness, about life, just like talking to an old friend without reservation.

Zhang Jingchu stood aside and listened quietly, Zhang Ran spoke more chaotically, and it involved a wide range of content, movies, paintings, philosophy, everything, and she couldn't understand many things. But there is one thing she heard, after filming "One Man Puts on the Lights", Zhang Ran's understanding of the movie has reached a new level. It's just that what Zhang Ran is thinking about now can't be understood by ordinary people, even Scorsese they can't understand, Zhang Ran is a little lonely, and he feels that his soulmate is hard to find.

After chattering for nearly an hour, Zhang Ran finally stood up, and at this moment, Zhang Jingchu opened her arms and hugged him tightly in her arms. Zhang Ran was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Jingchu smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to hug you!"

Zhang Ran smiled and patted her on the back, and was about to speak, the mobile phone suddenly rang, it was Wu Ruide's phone. In the past month or so, Zhang Ran has almost cut off contact with the outside world, and only a few people know this private number. Wu Ruide will not call for no reason, something big must have happened. He immediately answered the phone and asked, "Old Wu, what's wrong?"

Wu Ruide said directly: "Wanda is at war with us!"

Zhang Ran was stunned and asked, "Oh, what's going on?"

Wu Ruide immediately talked about it, and the main thing was "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

In the process of China's film industrialization, the December 2011 Chinese New Year file is destined to write a strong stroke. There are nearly 50 new films released in this Lunar New Year file, and they also take on a heavy responsibility, hitting the 20 billion box office mark; among all the movies in the New Year file, the most concerned is undoubtedly "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

As early as the beginning of the year, when "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was launched, producer Zhang Weiping shouted that the box office would exceed 1.5 billion, and the industry also believed that this year's box office champion would be the battle between "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Transformers 3".

It is not for nothing that the industry is so optimistic about "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", Lao Mouzi's new film not only invited Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, but also invited the "Saving Private Ryan" team, and a number of outstanding film behind-the-scenes people from all over the world joined the crew, and the whole film claimed to invest $100 million.

Zhang Yimou + Zhang Ran + Zhang Weiping's super combination, Oscar superstar, Hollywood's best special effects team and other commercial elements are complete, so that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has shown the spirit of a king who looks down on the world from the beginning.

Tsui Hark, who started with martial arts films, turned over with "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" in cooperation with the pinnacle of the century, and switched to Wanda, wanting to replicate the success of "New Dragon Gate Inn" that year, and launched a sequel "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which is still a killer of the imperial court against Shangxi Factory, and at the same time, there are all elements such as death, revenge, treasure hunting, and love-hate entanglement. He recruited his golden partner Jet Li, carried the banner of "China's first 3D martial arts film", used 3D shooting throughout the process, and claimed to have invited the "Avatar" visual effects team and "2012" special effects design experts to help, to combine the Chinese martial arts spirit with Western film technology.

In addition to Tsui Hark and Li Lianjie, a large number of popular star idols such as Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Li Yuchun, Gui Lunmei, Fan Xiaoxuan and so on joined "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and the lineup can be called luxurious, which has attracted great attention from all parties.

However, in terms of publicity, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is unbeatable, Zhang Weiping has taken his hype ability to the extreme, from firing the actress to high-profile Olympics, claiming to win the Oscar for Best Picture, and pushing his "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" to the forefront of media headlines and public heated discussions again and again.

Yu Dong saw that "Longmen Flying Armor" was not as concerned as "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", so he adopted a bundling tactic, and has been hyping "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" vs. "Longmen Flying Armor" since the beginning of the year, and after "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" announced that it was set for December 16, it was quickly announced that "Longmen Flying Armor" would be released on December 18, tying "Longmen Flying Armor" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" tightly together.

This kind of bundling tactic is very practical and very effective, the actual heroine of the movie "Red Cliff" is Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wei is also in front of Lin Chiling on the cast list, but Wu Baige and Taiwan Capital have always regarded Lin Chiling as the heroine in order to support Lin Chiling's position. This gives people the illusion that Lin Chiling is at the same level as Zhao Weishi, and even stronger than Zhao Wei. Sure enough, after "Red Cliff", Lin Chiling quickly ascended to the position, and since then the film appointments have continued.

This time, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" are the same, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is stronger both in terms of investment and production, but after Yu Dong adopted the bundling tactics, he gave the impression that the two movies were about the same. Due to the good binding effect, as soon as there is news of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", the audience will think of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", so that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" even saves publicity costs.

Yu Dong's bundling tactics made Zhang Weiping very annoyed, and at the same time aroused strong dissatisfaction among the supporters of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", who scolded Yu Dong for hugging his thighs and being shameless, and even nicknamed him the king of legs.

On November 20th, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" held a cinema viewing meeting in Beiping, and received rave reviews in the circle, and the cinema managers said that the film was not inferior to Hollywood movies in terms of audio-visual effects and actor recognition. At this time, Yu Dong realized that "Longmen Flying Armor" must not be as good as "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", once the reputation of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" exploded, then "Longmen Flying Armor" would be dangerous.

Yu Dong immediately made a decision and announced on the official blog that the schedule of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was advanced to December 16. In an interview with the media, Yu Dong said with confidence: "We feel that the release of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" cannot miss the precious weekend of December 16, and the quality of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" gives us absolute confidence to face any opponent. ”

Immediately afterwards, Yu Dong fired at "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" in an interview with CCTV's "Fortune Life", saying that the movie exaggerated investment, the North American campaign was suspected of pulling the banner of tiger skin, and the price should not be raised to pass on the investment risk to the audience.

Zhang Weiping was originally dissatisfied with the publicity method of hugging Dong's thighs, and now Yu Dong continued to provoke and completely broke out, and he announced in an interview with Cao Kefan that he would not provide copies of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" to Bona's cinemas.

Zhang Weiping explained the reason for not giving copies: "I signed distribution contracts with Bona, from "Three Guns" to "Hawthorn Tree", but they violated the contract twice and failed to settle the box office at the specified time. When I was in "Three Guns", I warned him to be honest in doing business, but "Hawthorn Tree" continued to delay. So this time as a punishment, to punish this kind of company that has no integrity, the audience of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" should not go to Bona to watch it first, because they can't get on!"

Yu Dong quickly counterattacked, scolded Zhang Weiping for hype, and said that Bona didn't owe Zhang Weiping money at all, Bona is settling accounts with the theater chain, whether your film is a film or a film of China Film, or an American film, it is normal for individual theaters to owe the theater line a month or two for the ticket price;

The time soon came to December 12th, when the film schedule of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" came out on the 15th, people who paid attention to the Golden Dragon War soon found that the entire Wanda Cinema Line only had 2.22% of the film schedule for "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", which was simply negligible. This immediately caused an uproar, and many people exclaimed: "Wanda bans "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"!"

Wanda's move angered Century Peak, and the company's management immediately responded, and Century Peak's theater chain quickly adjusted the film schedule of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", adjusting the film schedule of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" to 2%, and these 2% of the film schedule is all 2D. "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" focuses on 3D, and what really attracts the audience is 3D, and the peak of the century is only 2D, which is equivalent to cutting off the biggest gimmick of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

By this time, the two sides had torn their faces, and the battle between the peak of the century and Wanda had begun!

After listening to Wu Ruide's statement, Zhang Ran nodded slightly. He didn't want to start a war with Wanda in the short term, but now that the other party is sincere about starting a fight, it will definitely not work if he doesn't fight, so he said: "When the war starts, the opponent has the final say, and when it ends, we have the final say." From now on, our cinema chain will not schedule films for Wanda, and the media in our hands will not report on Wanda's film and television works, do not let them be on hot searches, and do not give them popularity until they completely disappear!"
