Today is the screening day of "The Aviator", and Zhang Ran's schedule is full. ≯≯> At seven o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock in the room rang loudly, urging them to get up.

After watching "Coffee Time" yesterday, I chatted with Jia Zhangke for a while, and I didn't go to bed until half past two. Zhang Ran yawned, sat up, and saw that Zhang Jingchu was still sleeping, and scratched her nose with her head: "Lazy pig, get up!"

"Lack of sleep, I'll lie down for another five minutes, okay?" Zhang Jingchu slapped Zhang Ran's hand, very dissatisfied with Zhang Ran's prank.

"Okay. Lie down, I'm going to take a shower!"

Zhang Ran came out of the shower, saw that Zhang Jingchu was still lying down, smiled, and reached out to lift the quilt on Zhang Jingchu's body: "The sun is shining on the buttocks, and I can't get up yet!"

Zhang Jingchu jumped up like a rabbit and took a pillow to let Zhang Ran hit his head: "I hate it!"

The club on the second floor of the movie palace is a place to professionally make up and style the competition unit, and when Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu changed their clothes and came to the club, Huang Lei and stylist Tang Yi were already busy inside. Tang Yi is a makeup master signed by L'Oréal Paris, the top stylist in China, and Zhang Ziyi's later queen stylist. But now he hasn't caught Zhang Ziyi's line, and Zhang Ran has taken the lead.

Zhang Ran always felt that Zhang Jingchu was suitable for a long shawl, but after Tang Yi saw Zhang Jingchu's dress, he tied his head up, so that his neck was slender and he could also highlight the jewelry. Zhang Ran didn't object, he felt that it was better to listen to professionals.

According to the usual practice, if a film is shortlisted for the official selection of Cannes, it will ask a public relations company to take care of interviews, publicity and other matters. Zhang Ran: They are not surprised, they invited the company that was in charge of "Time and Space Warrior" in Cannes this year. The person in charge this time is called Richard, and in the morning interview, he arranged for the reporter of the movie channel to interview first, and then Italian TV and French TV, after all, "The Aviator" is a Chinese movie.

Put on makeup, Zhang Ran and the three of them began to be interviewed by the movie channel, the host Ju Wenpei is an old acquaintance, the whole interview is relaxed after all, introducing the movie and talking about his various feelings.

After Güvenpei left, someone from Italian TV came over, followed by someone from French TV, and started a wheeled interview.

There were more than 20 media outlets to interview in the morning, and their interview time was fixed, usually 10 to 15 minutes, and the pace of the whole interview was very fast, basically one question after another. Zhang Ran is the focus of the reporter's interview, and most of the questions are directed at him, he can only use the reporter's interview with Huang Lei and Zhang Jing to take a breath and drink some water to moisten his throat.

The whole interview lasted from nine o'clock to half past eleven, and there were still a few reporters who did not interview. But there is no way, the official photographer of the film festival wants to take pictures of Zhang Ran and them, and after these photos are taken, they will soon be hung on the wall of the hall of the Palace of Cinema. This is the usual practice of the festival, when the films in the main competition are screened, the walls of the hall of the Palais du Cinémato, where photographs of the main actors and directors are hung.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock that Zhang Ran and the others had time to catch their breath. Huang Lei lay on the sand like soft mud: "This is too exaggerated, it's like a war." I wasn't so exaggerated when I went to the Cannes Film Festival!"

Zhang Jingchu smiled: "Because this time you are here with Zhang Ran!"

Huang Lei smiled: "Ouch, this is a change of Fang Kua for your family Zhang Ran!"

Zhang Jingchu said: "If you don't accept it, just let your grandson praise you!"

Huang Lei said: "Our Sun Li is not as numb as you!"

Zhang Jingchu retorted: "What's wrong with my flesh and numbness? Zhang Ran likes me for meat and numbness!"

Zhang Ran helped on the side: "Yes, I like her meat." Daughter-in-law, come, mouth one!"

Two-on-one Huang Lei was naturally not an opponent, and jumped to his feet: "I can't stand the two of you! You continue to kiss, I'll go to dinner!"

Two o'clock in the afternoon is the media field of "The Aviator", and the media field is specially arranged for media reporters. After watching the movie, reporters can write articles and promote the film.

Under normal circumstances, the media field and screening of film festivals are often not on one day, take "The Aviator" as an example, the media field is scheduled today, so the screening will be held the next day. In this way, the reporters who watched the media field the day before can publish the article, and the audience will only buy tickets to watch the screening when they see the film review.

However, this Venice Film Festival is more chaotic, with all kinds of problems emerging one after another, and it is not surprising that Johnny Depp's red carpet can be scheduled until midnight, and the media and screening of "The Aviator" are scheduled for one day.

The screening of "The Aviator" at the media field was sought after by reporters, who were full of interest in Zhang Ran's new film. Fifteen minutes before the film began, the screening hall of nearly 200 people was packed, packed with audiences, and even people kept walking inside, and those who couldn't find seats stood up.

Zhang Ran glanced behind him and saw many familiar faces, Duteron, Sony's classic Buckle, and even Miramax's Harvey. Media studio studios are allowed to enter, after all, the most important thing to participate in the film festival is to sell films. There are so many film companies present, which shows that everyone is very optimistic about this movie.

The reporters present all thought that "The Aviator" should be a similar movie to "Burst Drummer", but the beginning of the movie gave everyone a surprise, and there was a burst of exclamations in the entire screening room. No one thought that this movie would be in this style, and no one thought that Zhang Ran would shoot it like this.

To Zhang Ran's surprise, less than five minutes after the movie opened, there were suddenly two clangs behind him. Zhang Ran's heart sank, knowing that an audience member had withdrawn.

The chairs in the Palais du Cinéma's screening room have stiff springs, and when the audience leaves, they make a loud noise. If the audience is not satisfied with the film, they can stand up with a bang and let the chair protest loudly. This film festival is a unique culture!

Zhang Ran glanced back, it was the Harvey brothers, both of them looked disappointed, turned around and walked out of the screening room. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, these two bastards did it on purpose!

However, Zhang Ran soon realized that he was wrong, and as the movie progressed, there were clanging sounds from time to time, and reporters kept leaving. It wasn't until halfway through the film that the palpitating sound stopped.

Zhang Ran's heart fell to the bottom, and nearly one-fifth of the reporters left, and these people didn't like this movie!

Fortunately, the remaining reporters gave Zhang Ran some confidence, and they were very involved in watching it, and with the ups and downs of Qiao Zhengfei's fate, sometimes applauding and laughing, sometimes shaking their heads and sighing.

At the end of the movie, Joe is flying into the sky with a plane, and the film comes to an abrupt end, followed by a tidal wave of applause.

The lights came on, and the screening room was filled with tearful faces.

At the press conference that followed, the media reporters who had watched the whole movie were particularly enthusiastic and kept throwing out questions of interest. The focus of the reporters' attention was on Zhang Ran, and almost all the questions were directed at Zhang Ran. So much so that Elena, the host sinologist of the conference, had to remind the reporters to ask questions to the other two actors.

A reporter asked: "This is a very wonderful movie, it's unimaginable." This film is completely different from your previous work, and it is a complete subversion. I really didn't expect you to shoot. Why did you shoot this story?"

Zhang Ran smiled slightly: "Everyone has a time when they want to express themselves, and there are times when they want to be lyrical." "The Aviator" is a self-exposition and expression, an expression of my inner feelings, so it is more self-conscious in style. ”

A reporter asked: "I don't know how to describe this movie, the 4:3 format, a large number of transverse lenses, overexposed lenses, telephoto lenses, any of these kinds appear in a large number of movies is very different." But now that these large concentrations are in The Aviator, it's really crazy. Why do you shoot like that?"

Zhang Ran explained: "This film is a reflection of the conflict between reality and dreams, and the space of the picture can be reflected by the squeeze of reality on dreams, and the constraints of reality on dreams, and I hope to convey this feeling through the lens." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran laughed: "Its practical overexposure lens and telephoto lens are all coincidences. Take the telephoto lens as an example, we didn't plan to use a telephoto at first, but the little girl who played Liu Jiao was a little scared. In order to give her a better performance, we placed the camera far away and shot with a telephoto. The telephoto lens compresses the frame space, and there is a slight distortion in the guide frame. And this slight distortion gives the picture a dreamy feel, and that's exactly what we wanted. Because the whole story is Liu Jiao's memories, there will definitely be distortions in the memories. So, we made a lot of use of telephoto lenses. ”

A reporter from Taiwan read out some other meanings and asked: "In the movie, the reform and opening up in 78, the southern tour in 92, and the return of Xiangjiang in 97 are all political incidents, which make me feel that the director is describing a certain kind of political relationship, is there some metaphor?"

In the three major film festivals, many reporters, especially those in Europe and the United States, especially like to ask mainland directors and directors questions about politics, what ****, censorship, anyway, it's like hearing the director criticize the government.

It's not the first time Zhang Ran has encountered such a thing, and he won't be stupid: "This is a story about dreams, talking about the conflict between dreams and reality, and not thinking about anything else." I'm not interested in metaphors, I'm not interested in politics, I'm interested in people. This story is about the plight of people in reality, and this story can be placed in the United States, in France, anywhere in the world, because there are such people in any country, and they have a common name, idealists!"

A reporter asked: "Your previous movies have been very successful at the box office, but the style of "The Aviator" is too strange and unusual, and many people have quit just now, do you think "The Aviator" can continue your previous success?"

It's a very practical question, and Zhang Ran's films are particularly popular in East Asia, with both "Burst Drummer" and "Time Warrior" being huge successes. However, "The Aviator" has too strong personal style and a strong tendency to be expressive, and whether the audience can accept it is a big question.

A lot of people left the screening just now, so it seemed to many reporters that it was very suspenseful!

Zhang Ran was not sure, but he still said lightly: "Each of us has a dream, and we have worked hard for it, although the reality erases the edges and corners of most people, but there is still hope buried in our hearts! I believe everyone will like this movie, I think "The Aviator" will be more successful than "Burst Drummer"!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the audience was in an uproar! Zhang Ran is really confident!

After the questioning, Zhang Ran and the others were invited to the poster and took turns to take pictures. Zhang Ran, like a hero in a martial arts movie, clasped his fists with both hands and greeted everyone, and the crowd suddenly screamed, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

As soon as the flash went out, PR Richard ran over and asked Zhang Jingchu to change her dress and prepare for the screening at eight o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Ran waved his hand at Zhang Jingchu: "Jingchu, you go to change your clothes, Huang Lei and I will go to dinner!"

You have to change the style of the dress, and it takes a lot of time to make the head. It's already six o'clock, and it's only two hours before the screening, Zhang Jingchu naturally didn't have anything to do with dinner, and pouted and shouted at Zhang Ran: "I hate you!" (to be continued.) )8
