In fact, Zhang Ran probably knows more about this matter than Wang Yun, and he knows that the root of this matter is that Chen Baihuai forcibly reclaimed the right to use a piece of land through administrative means, and when the land was repossessed, the main structure of the apartment and hotel had been basically completed.

However, Chen Baihuai obviously underestimated the owner of this land, thinking that Guo Wengui was just an outsider and could let himself step on it. However, Guo Wengui is much more powerful than he imagined, and more importantly, there are people behind him. Guo Wengui, who was unwilling to be robbed of the project, secretly filmed a video of Chen Baihuai sleeping with his lover through special means, and directly entered Zhongnanhai through special channels. The senior leaders were furious and immediately held a meeting to let the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection quickly investigate and deal with it, so Chen Baihuai was dismissed.

Zhang Ran is not interested in the secret war between Chen Baihuai and Guo Wengui, they are not good people, it is best to finish together, what he cares about is that Huayi will be involved, after all, Huayi and Tianhong Pictures have been fighting hotly in the past year or so.

However, in the next few days, Huayi did not make any unusual moves, but the promotion of "Night Banquet" was in full swing, and even joined hands with "Harper's Bazaar" to hold a grand reception on the beach of the famous Majestic Hotel in Cannes.

Wang Zhonglei, president of Huayi, Lin Jianyue, president of Media Asia, Feng Xiaogang, director, and starring Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun all appeared at the reception. In addition, the famous director Oliver Stone, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival Marco Muller, as well as Hollywood movie star Willem Dafoe, Japanese movie star Hiroshi Shosho and other heavyweight guests also came to cheer, which attracted great attention.

Zhang Ran was a little disappointed, Hua Yi and Chen Ziwen should have just had some contacts in the movie, and they were not deeply involved, otherwise Wang Zhonglei would not be so calm, and it would be impossible to use this incident to attack Hua Yi.

Since he couldn't use this incident to attack Huayi, Zhang Ran didn't bother to care about it, and immediately devoted himself to the creative work of the opening ceremony.

On the 25th, Shen Wei completed his performance in the United States and rushed to Hengdian to meet Zhang Ran and them. After a small welcome ceremony, Shen Wei officially became a member of the creative team and began to make suggestions for the opening ceremony.

During the bidding last year, Shen Wei came up with the idea of having dancers paint an ink painting with their bodies on canvas, fusing modern dance with traditional Chinese ink painting. However, due to Zhang Ran's blocking, the idea was not written into the bidding plan. After joining the creative team, Shen Wei brought up this idea again.

After listening to Shen Wei's description, Zhang Yimou crossed his mind with a spiritual light, and said excitedly: "Shen Wei's idea can be combined with the concept of walking together, without a fake runway, just use a painting." At the beginning of the theatrical performance, we put a large paper of more than 30 meters in the center of the stadium, and all the subsequent programs were carried out around this paper. We asked the actors to draw ink drawings with their shapes, and then the actors from the other shows appeared in turn, each program left some marks on the paper, and finally more than 10,000 athletes from all over the world stepped on the paintings, leaving their footprints, and the actors and athletes worked together to create a moving picture. ”

The entire creative team applauded, and the idea of "let's go together" really ran through the audience. The entire opening ceremony became a performance art completed by tens of thousands of athletes and live actors from all over the world, which is the best embodiment of "one world, one dream"!

Zhang Ran felt that the time had come, and threw out the idea of the scroll: "If you just put a large paper of more than 30 meters on the field, it will be ugly, I think it is better than this, since our whole performance is to complete a painting, then why not make the stage into a huge picture scroll? The whole picture scroll is a huge LED, and after opening it, it is a beautiful Chinese painting." At the beginning of the theatrical performance, there was no light in the whole audience, it was pitch black, and then a scroll was lit up in the center of the stadium, nothing was performed, nothing was said, and as the scroll slowly opened, it was an ancient Chinese painting. There is no need to explain at all, at first glance this is China!"

Everyone imagined the picture described by Zhang Ran, the dark world suddenly lit up a little light, a crystal picture scroll slowly opened, a great country with a thousand-year history, and the profound accumulation of a thousand-year-old cultural heritage, from the moment the picture scroll was opened, it was told to the world.

Just thinking about it, the whole creative team was thrilled, what a magnificent sight!

Cai Guoqiang couldn't stop nodding: "If you don't act anything, you just open the picture scroll." That sense of history, the sense of vicissitudes came out at once. This is not a picture scroll, but the 5,000-year history of China. ”

Zhang Jigang said excitedly: "This picture scroll is a symbol of Chinese civilization, and the picture scroll is 5,000 years old, and this concept surpasses Athens!"

Zhang Yimou also likes this idea very much: "This concept is really not inferior to Athens, and visually, the impact is also stronger, because it is a huge scroll that lights up from the darkness, and that feeling will be the whole world lit up!"

The expectations of the Chinese people for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games are very high, if you can't get the first, it is a failure, and the water of Athens is a mountain in front of the creative team, if you can't win the water of Athens, it is impossible to get the first, and now the concept of being able to beat the water of Athens has finally been found!

Everyone present was extremely excited, Ma Wen was the first to stand up and applaud, followed by others also applauding.

After more than a month of hard work, everyone finally saw the dawn of victory!

The huge picture scroll can show the glorious history of China's 5,000-year civilization, and can also show the confidence and strength of today's Chinese!

At this time, the framework of the creative plan of the opening ceremony was finally set up, and the whole performance will be based on time, with a unique Chinese painting scroll running through the framework. At the same time, the actors and all the athletes drew a picture of the "beautiful home of mankind" on the spot, and the painting process ran through the opening ceremony, and the painting was finally completed at the end of the ceremony.

In order to celebrate the phased victory of the creative team's work, a celebration banquet must be indispensable.

In the private room of the restaurant, Zhang Heping picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Our work can be regarded as a phased victory, but the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard! Come, everyone have a toast!"

Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison, "!"

The creative team has been working together for a month, and they are all familiar with each other, and no one is admonishing each other. After everyone toasted, while eating the dishes, they chatted with each other.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Jigang stood up with a wine glass, looked at Zhang Ran and said: "Zhang Ran, when I first heard that you became the chief director of the director team, I was unconvinced, I felt that you were too young and inexperienced, and I felt that you were not capable of taking on this important responsibility." But after more than a month of contact, I realized that I was really wrong, and it was lucky to have you as a team!

When everyone present heard Zhang Jigang say this, their eyes showed admiration, Zhang Jigang is a colonel, only one step away from the major general, and his status and identity are not comparable to Zhang Ran, but he can admit his mistakes in public, he is really open-minded, very remarkable!

Zhang Ran was also quite moved, picked up the cup, and said, "I'm really too young, it's normal to have doubts." But these are all in the past, and the most important thing now is that everyone works together to get the rest of the work done. Don't talk nonsense, I'll do it, you feel free!" With that, he raised his head and drank the wine from the cup in one gulp.

When the banquet was over, it was ten o'clock.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Ran turned on the TV and watched the news for a few minutes, and was about to take a shower and go to bed, when he suddenly received a call from Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei smiled and asked, "Master, have you been busy lately?"

Zhang Ran quipped: "I'm a little busy. What's wrong? Is it because it's Children's Day and you want a gift for Children's Day?"

Liu Yifei hated Zhang Ran treating herself as a child the most, and now when she heard him say this, she was very angry: "Master, it's really annoying! You are a child, you just celebrated Children's Day! I am not a child, I am already an adult!" Then she asked: "A few days ago, Ang Lee invited me to participate in the audition for "Lust and Caution", is "Lust and Caution" a child's play?"

Zhang Ran was slightly stunned when he heard Liu Yifei audition for "Lust and Caution", and he was on the phone with Ang Lee a few days ago. Ang Lee has been having a headache about the actor recently, the heroine Wang Jiazhi requires an age of 19 to 23 years old, a height of 164 to 168 cm, a devilish figure, intelligence, elegant and classical temperament, and more acting skills, good color and art. Ang Lee ran all over Hong Kong and Taiwan but didn't find a suitable actor, hoping that Zhang Ran would help recommend it to see if there was a suitable one.

In fact, Zhang Ran originally wanted to recommend Tang Wei, but he didn't know where Tang Wei was now, and among the students he taught, Bai Ling was also suitable, but he didn't want Bai Ling to act in that kind of play, so he didn't recommend it.

Now that I think about it, in terms of age and image, Liu Yifei is really suitable. However, Zhang Ran knew that Liu Yifei couldn't play Wang Jiazhi, and he didn't want her to play this kind of role: "There are a lot of bed scenes in "Lust and Caution", which is not suitable for you. Being clean and pure is your trait, and it's also your advantage, don't do stupid things like changing your acting path and challenging your acting skills, you're not there yet!"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, "I know, Master." I also felt that it was inappropriate, so I refused, but Director Ang Lee was very optimistic about me, and said that next time I worked with me, he would have much more vision than Master. ”

Zhang Ran snorted coldly and said, "Yes, Li Anduo has a lot of vision, then you can find him to be a master! If it's okay, I'll hang up the phone!"

Liu Yifei chuckled: "Master is a stingy ghost!" and then said in a coquettish tone: "Master, I will graduate next month, will you come to my graduation ceremony then?"

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "I've been very busy lately, so I'm not going!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but say, "No, you must come." Master, I am your only apprentice, and if you don't come, I will be very sad and sad!"

When Zhang Ran saw Liu Yifei say this, he couldn't refuse: "Okay then!"

Liu Yifei was very happy: "Master, it's decided!"

Zhang Ran was about to hang up the phone, and suddenly remembered that Chen Jingfei and Chen Baihuai were relatively close, and couldn't help asking, "How is your godfather lately?"

Liu Yifei felt strange: "It's good, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ran couldn't say more, so he said, "No, ask by the way." ”

On June 2nd, all the scenes in Hengdian part of "The City Full of Golden Armor" were completed, and the crew began to pack their luggage and prepare to move to Wulong, and the creative team naturally went together.

Early in the morning, Zhang Ran and the creative team took a bus to Hangzhou, did not stop too much, ate something in the city, and rushed to the airport to wait for boarding.

There was still an hour before the boarding time, Zhang Ran and they changed their boarding passes and sat in the waiting hall to chat.

Zhang Ran had just sat down for two minutes, the phone rang suddenly, and when he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Bai Yunfei, he connected the phone: "Is there something wrong?"

Bai Yunfei's voice was a little excited: "I met Yang Zhiyuan from Yahoo today, and he offered to buy YouTube. ”

Zhang Ran's heart skipped a beat, the seeds sown two years ago were finally about to bear fruit, he lowered his voice and asked, "You tell me the details!"
