Early the next morning, Zhang Ran got up and came to the set to prepare for today's shooting.

Not long after, Jing Tian and her assistant came, and the two of them carried a big bag on their backs. Zhang Ran originally thought that they were carrying luggage, but he was wondering, was this luggage a little less. Unexpectedly, Jing Tian and his assistant opened the bag directly, and there were all kinds of snacks inside, and the two of them jumped up and down to distribute food to the main creator of the crew, and hugged everyone goodbye.

Zhang Ran feels that Jingtian is really good at being a person, no wonder everyone likes her. When Jing Tian came to him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You also went to buy so much food, you really have a heart!"

Jing Tian said embarrassedly: "I didn't buy it specifically, I bought it before to prepare for my own food!"

Zhang Ran was stunned when he heard this, this is really a super foodie!

Jing Tian looked at Zhang Ran, a hint of blush appeared on his face, and asked softly, "Master, can I hug you?"

Zhang Ran reached out to hug Jing Tian and patted her on the back as well. Jing Tian also hugged Zhang Ran hard, but she whimpered and cried when she hugged her.

Many little girls who have never filmed much are filming in the crew for the first time, and they often cry when they are finished. Zhang Ran thought that Jingtian would not be like this, this girl pinched it a lot, a little heartless, but she didn't expect her to cry when she left. He patted Jing Tian on the back and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't cry! I hate who cries in front of me the most!"

Jing Tian let go of Zhang Ran, wiped his teardropping face, and said, "Master, I'm leaving! Take care!" After speaking, she didn't look back, and strode away.

Jing Tian is a trick in the crew, and her departure will not have any impact on the filming of the crew. However, after she left, the crew often talked about her, and Zhang Ran heard the staff sigh more than once: "Why did Jing Tian leave, there are no free spicy noodles to eat now!"

The second half of "Future Apocalypse" is mainly about the story of Adams and their captivity in the Antarctic prison. There are a lot of dramas in this part, which is easier than the first half, and the whole shooting went very smoothly.

The time soon came to mid-October, and the filming of the film was gradually coming to an end, but Zhang Ran had to put down his work for the time being, because the Tokyo Film Festival was about to start. Zhang Jingchu's self-directed and self-starred film "All the Nights in the World" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Tokyo Film Festival, whether as a husband or the nominal producer of the film, Zhang Ran had to attend.

On October 20th, Zhang Ran announced that the crew of "Future Apocalypse" would be off for half a month, and then he returned to Beiping, joined the crew of "All Nights in the World", and flew to Tokyo with the crew on the morning of the 22nd.

A total of three Chinese films were shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's film festival, in addition to "All the Nights in the World" directed by Zhang Jingchu, as well as "The Piano of Steel" directed by Zhang Meng and "Guanyin Mountain" directed by Li Yu and starring Fan Binbin, the three films will compete for the Golden Kirin Award.

The story of "All the Nights in the World" is excellent, the shooting is also good, and the performances of several actors are particularly good, and they have a lot of hope of winning awards. However, in Zhang Ran's opinion, the most likely winner is not Zhang Jingchu, not Yu Feihong, but Yan Bingyan who plays Jiang Bai's sister-in-law.

In fact, Zhang Jingchu and Yu Feihong both like the role of Jiang Baisao, and they both want to play this role, but unfortunately their image and temperament are far from Jiang Baisao, and they finally handed over this role to Yan Bingyan. And Yan Bingyan did not disappoint the two female directors, and brought to life the extremely tragic character of Jiang Baisao.

After the crew arrived in Tokyo, they were warmly received by the organizing committee of the film festival, and the chairman of the film festival, Tatsumi Ita, personally greeted them at the airport and personally sent Zhang Ran and them to the hotel.

Soon after Zhang Ran and the others settled in, Jiang Ping, deputy general manager of China Film Group, came to the door.

Jiang Ping served as the deputy director of the Film Bureau of the General Administration for 5 years before serving as the vice president of China Film, Zhang Ran had a lot of dealings with him, and he was very familiar with each other, so he asked with a smile: "Why are you here, did you bring a film to the Tokyo Film Festival to be screened?"

Jiang Ping said with a smile: "Yes, the Film Bureau and the Japan-China Friendship Film Exchange Committee co-hosted the Chinese Film Week, just in time for the Tokyo Film Festival, and the Chinese Film Week was also included in the festival agenda." I came here today to send you an invitation, the Chinese Film Week officially opened on the 25th, and you must come to cheer at that time!"

As a Chinese filmmaker at the booth of the Chinese Film Week, Zhang Ran definitely has no words: "No problem, I will definitely be there on the 25th." I don't know which movies are being shown and who are coming?"

Jiang Ping briefly introduced to Zhang Ran, there are a total of nine films screened this time, including "Confucius", "October Siege", "Kangding Love Song" and so on, two of which are still Zhang Ran's student films, one is Wu Ershan's "Sword Laughs", and the other is "Smoke Lock Funeral Home".

Originally, there were many heavyweights in the guests of this screening, including Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin and other domestic first-line actors. However, due to the recent tensions between Japan and China, especially last month, when the "Dongying patrol boat collided with a Chinese fishing boat on the Diaoyu Islands", many celebrities have scruples about participating in the Tokyo Film Festival at this time.

Jiang Ping didn't want the opening ceremony of the Chinese Film Week to be too deserted, it would be too faceless, so he personally invited Zhang Ran to attend the opening ceremony on the 25th.

At eight o'clock the next morning, the makeup artist began to dress up Zhang Jingchu. As the director and star of "All Nights in the World", Zhang Jingchu hopes that she will appear in the most perfect posture.

Tossed until nearly twelve o'clock, Zhang Jingchu's modeling was finally completed. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, and asked Zhang Ran, who was sitting on the side reading the newspaper, "Zhang Ran, what do you think?"

Zhang Ran looked up, the white dress was so beautiful, the hairstyle was clean and neat, the makeup was dignified and generous, the curled eyelashes made the eyes feel like they would discharge, and the red lipstick looked full of aura. The theme of this year's Tokyo Film Festival is "Take Action to Defend Our Common Earth", and in order to reflect this theme, Zhang Jingchu pinned a green bow on her chest, which looked very lively. He gave a thumbs up and said, "It's so beautiful, the makeup and skirt are very suitable for you! In fact, my daughter-in-law looks good in everything, even if she wears a sack on the red carpet, she will definitely amaze the audience!"

Zhang Jingchu glanced at Zhang Ran, and said with a bright smile: "Wearing a sack and walking the red carpet must be amazing, everyone will think that Zhang Ran's daughter-in-law must be abnormal!"

Zhang Ran laughed and said: "Now that LV is made of red and blue woven bags, I believe that it is only a matter of time before the clothes made of sacks go on the red carpet!

Although the Tokyo Film Festival is also a category A film festival, the organization is far from the three major film festivals, the red carpet of the film festival starts at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and they actually hold a special briefing an hour before the red carpet to explain the order of entry and other related matters.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu didn't have lunch, just ate a little pastries and cookies, and took the crew to the Mori Building in Roppongi New Town, the main venue of this film festival, and waited for the red carpet order.

The Mori Building is one of the famous high-rise buildings in the Roppongi area, with 53 floors above ground and 4 floors underground. There are facilities such as Hyatt Regency Tokyo, Mori Art Museum, and Roppongi Hills TOTO Cinema. The headquarters of many well-known companies such as Yahoo, Lotte, and Vitality Gate are also located in this building. Since its completion in '03, it has become the most important main venue of the Tokyo Film Festival, and various ceremonies and film premieres are also held here.

After the crew of "All Nights in the World" arrived at the Mori Building, they were immediately invited by the staff into a separate VIP room on the third floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel to rest. Whether it is a big name in the film festival or not, it can be seen that a crew has an exclusive VIP lounge, and the treatment of big names is self-explanatory.

Zhang Ran felt a little bored and planned to go shopping, and Zhang Jingchu had nothing to do and went out with Zhang Ran.

Along the way, people kept greeting Zhang Ran, all of whom had never heard of it, and Zhang Ran could only smile in return. After shopping for a while, Zhang Ran felt that the red carpet order was almost out, so he and Zhang Jingchu came to the briefing site.

When Jiang Ping saw Zhang Ran and them, he walked over and said with a solemn expression: "Zhang Ran, have you seen the brochure of this Tokyo Film Festival?"

"No!" Zhang Ran noticed that Jiang Ping's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ping handed the brochure in his hand to Zhang Ran: "Take a look!"

Zhang Ran took the film festival's promotional brochure and looked at it, and knew why Jiang Ping's face was so ugly, and the telegraphic brochure used the terms China and Taiwan bend respectively when introducing the film, and when introducing the cross-strait delegation, he also said China and Taiwan bend side by side.

At this time, Zhang Ran pressed the door of his head, how could I forget this, this is the incident of withdrawing from the Tokyo Film Festival that caused a lot of uproar! He remembered that Jiang Ping asked the delegation of Taiwan Bend to add China in front of Taiwan Bend, but no agreement was reached, and finally Jiang Ping led the Chinese delegation to withdraw from the Tokyo Film Festival.

In fact, it is not the first time that the delegations on both sides of the strait of the film festival have clashed because of the title issue, in 07 years of the Berlin Film Festival, "Tattoo" and "Beauty" were officially marked by the film festival as "China Taiwan", and the Taiwan Film Delegation protested to the film festival, but the Berlin Film Festival did not agree at all.

At the Venice Film Festival in the same year, the production area of "Lust and Caution" was changed three times. Originally, the official website of Venice listed the production countries of the film as the United States and China, but later changed it to the United States, China and Taiwan due to the requirements of Taiwan Bend, and finally changed it to the United States, China and China Taiwan Bend at the insistence of the mainland representatives.

Zhang Ran remembered that someone once said that this withdrawal incident was a small move by Dongying people. Zhang Ran didn't know if it was true or not, but now that the matter has come out, the key is how to solve it. Zhang Ran came in his personal capacity, it doesn't matter, but Jiang Ping's situation is different, he is the head of the Chinese film delegation, representing China, if he doesn't come out to stop it, once there is a "****" on the red carpet, it will be a very serious political problem, and he will be seriously derelict in his duty as the leader of the team. Zhang Ran groaned: "This is something made up by the organizing committee, let them come out and solve it!"

Jiang Ping was a little angry: "The Chinese delegation attended the green carpet ceremony of the Tokyo Film Festival and was invited by the organizing committee many times. They are disrespectful to us by doing so. Wait a minute, you go with me to negotiate, and let them add China in front of the bend!"

Zhang Ran heard Jiang Ping pull him up, and knew that he wanted to use his influence to test the pressure on the Organizing Committee of the Film Festival, so he said: "You are the head of the Chinese film delegation, I will listen to your arrangement!"

At this time, the organizing committee happened to talk about the Taiwan delegation, and their statement was the same as in the album, still juxtaposing China and Taiwan. Jiang Ping couldn't help it, immediately stood up, and said loudly: "We protest! There is only one China in the world, and that is the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of China." On the red carpet, only China and China can be seen, and China must be added in front of the Taiwan bend delegation!"
