In the car, Zhao Fei gave a detailed introduction to the preparations for "Three Fools". Zhang Ran www.biquge.info who has no intention of participating in the bidding for the Olympic Games may make the people of the Olympic Organizing Committee unhappy. He had to help Zhang Ran beat the side drum to prove that Zhang Ran really didn't have the time and energy to do this.

Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhang Heping didn't speak, but Han Sanping kept asking about the movie. "Three Fools" will be released by China Film, and he is very much looking forward to the box office.

While speaking, the car arrived at Xiamen University.

Getting out of the car, Zhao Fei took the lead, took Han Sanping and walked to the Jiannan Assembly Hall. As soon as the group walked to the door of the Great Hall, Zhang Jingchu trotted up to meet them: "Mr. Han, how can I let you run?"

Han Sanping smiled: "Anyway, we're fine, let's come to see Zhang Ran's speech!"

When Zhang Jing first heard this, she respectfully led Han Sanping and them to the Great Hall. The security guards did not stop them, and the group entered the Great Hall unimpeded.

At this time, Zhang Ran had already finished his speech and was communicating with the students of Xiamen University. Countless students raised their hands high, like a forest of arms, and Yi Zhongtian nodded to a girl with a ponytail in the front row

"Director Zhang, I like your movies very much, and I like you very much. I want to ask a question, I usually like to watch Hollywood movies, and high-grossing commercial movies in the United States are pleasing to the audience and patriotic, why can't we make them in China?" The girl stared at Zhang Ran and asked with a look of adoration.

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "There are many reasons, first of all, there are restrictions on the subject matter, and many things cannot be filmed. If Liu Cixin's "Full-Band Blocking Interference" can be made into a movie, it will definitely be a patriotic blockbuster. But can it be filmed? Impossible! The novel originally took place in China, but it was changed to Russia when it was published in Science Fiction World!

Second, our performance methods are too backward. "Happiness Terminal" I believe many people have seen it, there is a plot in it, the airport manager said to the actor, as long as you say that you are afraid to go back to your country, then you can go to New York. But the actor refused, no, that's my home, how could I be afraid to go home?

The most important reason is that our story is not well told, and the audience doesn't like to watch it. If you want to convey values, you want to convey your thoughts, the key is to tell the story well and let the audience go into the cinema to watch it!"

Zhang Heping nodded slightly, he used to be the general manager of Forbidden City Pictures, and he has a clear understanding of the problems of domestic films, Zhang Ran's words are to the point.

The exchanges between Zhang Ran and the students continued, Jiang Xiaoyu and the others listened quietly, Zhang Ran talked about the national spirit and also talked about cultural transmission, they were quite insightful, and they saw many issues more clearly.

At the end of the speech, the audience applauded like thunder.

A chubby girl held a bouquet of flowers on the runway and offered flowers to Zhang Ran. In order to express his gratitude, Zhang Ran gave the girl a hug. There was a large number of coaxing and screaming below. Immediately afterwards, a group of students ran up to the stage to ask Zhang Ran for an autograph and a photo with Zhang Ran, both boys and girls.

"Don't worry, come one by one. Zhang Ran took the book very casually and bowed his head to sign it.

At this moment, Zhang Jingchu walked to Zhang Ran's side, lowered her voice and told Zhang Ran the news of Han Sanping's arrival. Zhang Ran heard that Han Sanping and the people from the Olympic Organizing Committee were coming, complained to the students, and walked over to Han Sanping. There are a lot of villains who didn't get the autograph and started to prick Zhang Jingchu in the hearts of girls, Zhang Jingchu is so annoying!

Han Sanping smiled and patted Zhang Ran's shoulder: "Very good." Now the internal market of Chinese films is very good, but it is difficult for our films to see spiritual and cultural output. This is a crisis for Chinese filmmakers and for China's image. Don't talk about this, this is not the place to talk, let's find a place to talk!"

Now that I am surrounded by students, there is no way to introduce the two members of the Olympic Organizing Committee to Zhang Ran. As soon as the students heard about the people of the Olympic Organizing Committee, this matter would definitely cause a storm in the city.

Although Han Sanping did not introduce the two around him to Zhang Ran, he still recognized it, Jiang Xiaoyu, vice chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and Zhang Heping, said quietly: "Mr. Han, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zhang, I originally made an appointment with the people of Xiamen University to have a good meal, I have to tell them!"

Jiang Xiaoyu looked Zhang Ran up and down, nodding secretly in his heart, knowing who he was, he could still be so calm and calm, it was definitely not okay to be an Olympic director, it seemed that he had found the right person: "You go!"

Zhang Ran found someone from Xiamen University and said the matter in a low voice. When the other party heard that the people from the Olympic Organizing Committee were coming, they guessed that they were coming for the opening ceremony, which is a national event and must be given priority. Anyway, Zhang Ran was going to stay at Xiamen University for a few days, and some of them were meal times, so he said that he would make an appointment later.

Coming out of Xiamen University, Zhang Ran took Han Sanping and them back to the conference room of the hotel. The content of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games should be kept secret, and after Han Sanping and the others sat down, Zhang Ran locked the door.

Zhang Ran looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and them, and said apologetically: "How can the kid dare to bother the three of you to come to the door in person!"

Zhang Heping smiled and said: "You little Zhuge is not sure to come out of the mountain, then we can only invite Zhuge three times!"

Zhang Heping was not unhappy because of Zhang Ran's prevarication, and half of the 12 groups and individuals they recruited were decided after running many times. For example, when Chen Kaige was invited to join the creative work of the Olympic Games, Chen Kaige had concerns, he had to be busy with "Wuji", and his work schedule was very tight. The staff of the Olympic Organizing Committee visited him many times and invited him to join, which finally dispelled Chen Kaige's concerns.

After a brief chat, Jiang Xiaoyu talked about the issue of the opening ceremony: "The opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games was so wonderful, using a sea to show Greek civilization, this sea carries the most profound meaning of the opening ceremony, giving birth to life and vitality. At the same time, it shows that the content of this part is not a performance, but a picture that has gone through thousands of years, but is still vivid and vivid. How should we show the history of the whole nation from ancient times to the present in '08? This is a great test. 100 years of Olympics, 100 years of dreams. The Olympic Games are the wish of several generations of our nation, and we can only succeed, not fail! We are under a lot of pressure right now, so I hope that you artists can work together to support the opening ceremony. ”

Zhang Ran said very seriously: "To be honest, it's really not prevarication. Chen Kaige and I are not as good as Zhang Yimou to engage in this kind of large-scale event, we have no experience, and no one is more suitable as director Zhang Yimou!"

Jiang Xiaoyu is very familiar with Zhang Yimou, and he fully believes in Zhang Yimou's ability. However, he did not count this matter: "The eight minutes of Athens were a failure, and not only the leaders were not satisfied, but the masses were also dissatisfied. The leaders put forward five requirements for the opening and closing ceremonies: 1. The theme is prominent, the characteristics are distinct, and the connotation is rich, fully embodying the Chinese style, humanistic style and style of the times; 2. It contains the three major concepts of green Olympics, science and technology Olympics and humanistic Olympics, and vividly expresses the rich connotation of harmony and equality contained in the humanistic Olympics; 3. Spread the Olympic spirit, create a happy and friendly atmosphere of Olympic celebration, and create a feeling of family from all over the world for the participants; 4. Promote the world's understanding of China and enhance the friendship between the people of Chinese and the people of the world; 5. The artistic expression of creative solutions should be innovative and make full use of high-tech means to demonstrate whimsical ideas, which is refreshing. The fifth point is particularly important, and this time it is necessary to innovate. Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige's concepts are relatively old, and their use of new technologies is not as good as yours, and the leaders above have more than one named you, and they all hope that you can come up with something completely different from the outdated performance of Eight Minutes in Athens!"

Zhang Ran had a pain in the egg, and it seemed that he really couldn't shirk it anymore. If you refuse, what will the leaders think, and will you want to pass the review in the future? And you have to go all out, otherwise the leaders will think you are perfunctory. Why don't you believe Lao Mouzi? He's really better suited than me!

However, Zhang Ran also knew that the eight minutes of Athens had dampened many people's confidence in Zhang Yimou, and he remembered that after the opening ceremony bidding, Zhang Yimou ranked first in the total score, and there were still many leaders who resolutely opposed letting Zhang Yimou be the chief director, and finally Liu Qi made the decision.

Zhang Ran pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Can you tell me who the teams are for targeted recruitment?"

Jiang Xiao smiled foolishly: "How do you want to know the strength of your opponent?"

Zhang Ran didn't mean this, and explained: "The Olympic bidding is a big project, and it is difficult to do it well by relying on personal strength, so I will definitely find other song and dance troupes to jointly bid for it." Knowing who the other side is and which groups are participating in the Olympic bid can save time. I don't have a lot of time to spend on building a team!"

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded slightly, Zhang Ran could think so, which showed that he really took this matter to heart, and said slowly: "Zhang Yimou, Haosi International, and Jack Morton Company formed a tripartite joint team; The joint team formed by Beiao Company, chief director Chen Weiya, the core group of creative planning of the People's Liberation Army, chief director Zhang Jigang, Gehua Group, they plan to invite director Ang Lee as creative director, the backbone teachers of Beiping Dance Academy to form a creative team, the Paige Taihe team formed by Sun Jianjun, the China International Culture Group, the overseas artist team led by fireworks master Cai Guoqiang, the magic city team led by the Magic City Culture and Broadcasting Group, which brings together the artists of the Shangmo City and Nanjing military systems, and the Guangdong team formed by artists from the Guangdong Modern Song and Dance Hall and the Pearl River Film Studio。 and the famous director Chen Kaige. There are 11 teams in total, and you are the 12th!"

The National Song and Dance Troupe and CCTV Literature and Art Center are all large-scale performance companies that need people, resources, and experience, Zhang Ran shook his head with a wry smile: "Except for Director Chen Kaige, the other teams are extremely strong and have rich experience, I really can't see the possibility of winning!"

Jiang Xiaofool smiled and comforted, and said, "If you do an ordinary opening ceremony, using them is indeed the best choice." But this opening ceremony requires innovation and high technology, and you may come up with a better plan. People have the inertia of thinking, they all have party experience, thinking is likely to be framed, you haven't done it, jump outside the traditional model, we are very confident in your plan!"

Zhang Ran had no other choice, just to bite the bullet and go up: "I can only say do my best and do my best to do things well!"

The plan for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is top secret, and before participating in the creative team, all the main creators must sign legal documents with the Olympic Organizing Committee on the transfer of intellectual property rights and confidentiality. Creators are required to keep the entire creation confidential, not to disclose creative ideas to third parties, or to engage in commercial promotion, and to waive intellectual property rights. After Zhang Ran made it clear that he would participate in the Olympic bidding, Jiang Xiaoyu took out the relevant documents.

There are several documents, including power of attorney, application letter, and letter of commitment for the transfer of intellectual property. After carefully reading the relevant terms of the document, Zhang Ran took up the pen and signed his name on the text to officially join the bidding for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games!

Zhang Ran, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige bid for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games together, and the peak showdown between the four Chinese directors is about to begin! )
