When Yang Ruohan returned home, he handed over the adapted script of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" to Zhang Fan. and told Zhang Fan that when the crew would start filming in May next year, Zhang Fan understood that the filming of this drama should be postponed.

He knew all too well the horror of the 2003 disaster.

But there was nothing he could do, and the disaster would not stop happening because of him.

Zhang Fan has been in pain since the Chinese New Year in 2002, and he knows that after a while, the capital will be in a shadow.

He can only remind his relatives and friends to go out as little as possible and stay safe when disaster strikes.

Zhang Fan's middle school has been suspended, Zhang Weimin's tavern has also been closed, and Yang Ruohan's Mufan Pictures has also suspended all activities. The whole family is waiting for the horrific catastrophe to pass.

During this time at home, Zhang Fan locked himself in his study when he was fine, and he was recalling the classic plots of some movies he had seen in his mind.

Although he can't recall the entire plot of the whole movie, he can remember some general plots, and he wants to write them out, and let those screenwriters fill in the plot after Mufan Pictures has a group of good screenwriters in the future.

Just when the family was waiting for the disaster to end, Yang Ruohan spent 800,000 yuan to invest in the movie "Blind Well" last year.

The film successfully won the Silver Bear Award and the Golden Horse Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and the leading actor Baoqiang also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer.

Director Li Yang sold the film to distributors in France, the United States and Japan, and sold the overseas distribution rights for $3.2 million. Yang Ruohan also made a profit of more than $1 million. Her first film investment was a huge success.

When the news of "Blind Well" winning the award spread to the mainland, many entertainment reporters were comparing "Blind Well" with "Hero" released on the eve of the Spring Festival.

Many reports say: Mufan Pictures invested in the low-cost newcomer film "Blind Well" and won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and Zhang Yimou spent a huge amount of money to shoot "Hero" and so on.

Most of these media believe that domestic films are not suitable for large-scale productions and can only make small-budget films. Zhang Fan scoffed at these reports, and even wanted to spit when he saw the editor who wrote these advertorials.

Because these people are purely writing nonsense, singing about the decline of the domestic film and television industry.

The reason why "Blind Well" won the award is entirely because of the theme winning, and it is a film of the appearance of the mainland that foreigners want: backwardness and poverty. Meets the characteristics of all underground films.

And "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, although the plot is like that, it truly shows the might and momentum of the Chinese people.

Whether Zhang Fan watched it through a pirated website in his previous life or watched "Hero" with Sisi in the cinema in this life, he was shocked every time by the neatly arranged and mighty Qin Jun.

Daqin is still black, the army is out of the Han Valley, the black clothes are red, and the road is as bold as possible.

And Zhang Yimou's picture color sense is really advanced: the red of red sorghum, the black in the hero and other colors, Zhang Fan is extremely shocked every time he looks at it.

At this time when the mainland film industry is in decline, it is Zhang Yimou who supports the mainland film industry alone. If it weren't for him, the mainland film industry might have been conquered by Hollywood movies.

Although "Hero" did not win an award, it successfully opened up the road to success for mainland commercial films. It is precisely the success of "Hero" that major capitals have poured into the mainland film market and increased investment.

Zhang Fan can say without exaggeration: It is precisely because of the release of Zhang Yimou's hero that the period of decline of mainland films has ended. Mainland films have quickly begun to revive because of their heroes.

Zhang Fan was a human being in two lifetimes, and he also knew that Lao Mouzi in later generations had also filmed bad movies such as "Three Guns" and "The Great Wall", but he always felt that the first mainland director was none other than Zhang Yimou.

As the future successor of Mufan Pictures, Zhang Fan likes commercial film directors such as Zhang Yimou who can bring tangible profits to Mufan Pictures.

Zhang Fan communicated with Yang Ruohan after winning the award in "Blind Well", Yang Ruohan may have been dizzy because of this blind well award, fame, fortune and money, and some of them were dizzy, and they were no longer shrewd before, and they still wanted to continue to invest in filming literary films to win awards.

Zhang Fan immediately stopped when he heard her thoughts. Zhang Fan asked Yang Ruohan to take down the domestic screening rights of "Blind Well", but Yang Ruohan went to apply and still failed to release it.

Zhang Fan explained his views on literary films very directly, without the right to release, he can only sell overseas copyrights, which is very unstable, and only by winning awards can he make a profit.

has the right to release films, and there is not much market for literary films, and if they can't get the box office, they will still lose money. Although Mufan Pictures has already had a successful investment experience at this stage. And I got the prize as I wished. But now it's still dominated by TV dramas. Even if it invests in films, it mainly invests in small-budget commercial films.

After hearing this, Yang Ruohan also felt that he had lost his mind because of the reporter's praise, and agreed with Zhang Fan's opinion.

……

Halfway through 2003, the disaster has not yet passed. Zhang Fan still can't go out every day.

In addition to calling Sisi every day to care about her physical condition, she is lying at home watching TV.

There are really a lot of classic TV series released in 2003.

Brother Hua Qiang has been chopping with a watermelon knife for several months now. Su Youpeng's Zhang Wuji and Hu Jun's Qiao Feng were also released in turn. The gold powder family of factory flowers and fairies is this year's hit.

In later generations, the top of the entertainment industry has begun to emerge.

Zhang Fan looked at Liu Tianxian and Chen Changhua on TV, full of envy, the two of them were really at the peak of their debut.

Factory Hua's screen debut was "Like Fog, Like Wind and Like Rain" in 2000, followed by this "The Family of Gold Powder", and now there is a saying that the first child in the mainland.

And Liu Tianxian's screen debut "The Family of Gold Powder" is already a hit, and Zhang Fan also knows that she will play classic roles such as Wang Yuyan, Zhao Linger, and Xiaolongnu in the next few years. The popularity is undoubtedly the first person of 85 small flowers.

Zhang Fan looked at the handsome men and beauties in the TV series, and thought about the Gazi he was going to play next, and instantly felt that "The Family of Gold Powder" was actually not good-looking. Let's continue to watch Brother Hua Qiang.

And so it was in 2003. Fast forward to the spring of 2004.

Zhang Fan and Sisi celebrated their sixteenth birthday some time ago, and the two of them can be described as handsome men and beautiful women standing together.

But the two didn't see each other for long, and Yang Ruohan informed Zhang Fan that Zhang Ga was going to start filming.

The crew has been delaying filming for a long time due to the disaster, and it is time to start filming.

The producers of the crew first invited the main creative staff to the conference room of Mufan Pictures for a meeting, and then went to Baiyangdian to shoot together.

This is the first time Zhang Fan has met the rest of the crew, and the director Xu Geng is a very gentle person, after all, he was born in children's dramas.

But he is actually not very satisfied with Zhang Fan's role as Gazi, because Zhang Fan is 16 years old this year, while Gazi in the novel is only 13 years old. But because he was the protagonist determined by the investor, he didn't say much.

Liu Jinshan, who plays the role of a fat translator, as well as Koji Yano of the island country, and a group of young actors.

Zhang Fan sat next to a group of young actors, and after a while, he became familiar with them and became the head of many young actors.

The meeting didn't last long, and because of the large number of young actors, the director asked them to take a parent to Baiyangdian to shoot together. And the meeting was adjourned.

After the meeting, Zhang Fan was very reluctant to cut his hair into a flat head, because Gazi has always been flat in the TV series. Watching his hair fall out, he was still a little reluctant, and he stayed for a long time.

A week later, on the day the crew set off, a group of young actors followed their parents to Mufan Pictures with their luggage to gather. After determining the number of people, we set off.

Yang Ruohan did not follow Zhang Fan to shoot this time, but arranged for a new employee of the company to go with him.

She just dug up a screenwriter named Xing Yusen from under the banyan tree some time ago. After the two met, they hit it off and were ready to shoot a sitcom in the form of I love my family.

Arrive at Baiyangdian and stay at the hotel for a night's rest. This time, Zhang Fan had no special treatment, and shared a double room with the new employees who came with him.
