There is a particularly big pit in VR filming. Since it is a 360-degree panoramic shooting, there are no one else on the scene except the actors. The director, photography, and where the staff go is a problem. However, Zhang Ran and the others are trying to shoot, so there is no need to consider this issue. Not only the staff are on the scene, but the monitors and various equipment are on the scene.

Soon the preparations for the shooting were completed. Wang Fan, with the help of Zhou Qing and others, put the VR camera on his head and lay on the bed. The other actors were in place and all the staff were in place.

With Zhang Ran's voice starting, the actor standing outside the room began to knock on the door "tick".

After knocking a few times, Wang Fan grabbed a piece of clothes and put them on them, walked to the door with paper and dirty clothes all over the floor, then lowered his head and pointed the camera on his forehead at the door mirror. When shooting ordinary movies, the actors do a door camera and then follow the scenes seen through the door mirror. However, VR movies cannot be edited, so the actors must bow their heads and aim the camera fixed on their forehead at the door mirror, so that the audience can see the contents in the door mirror.

Behind the monitor, Zhang Ran and Zhao Fei and others were both staring at the monitor. The VR camera used by Zhang Ran and others had 12 lenses. To see all the pictures, 12 monitors had to be arranged, but Zhang Ran and others had only arranged 6 monitors, one in front, back, left, and one in the upper and lower parts.

Zhang Ran was staring at the camera on Wang Fan's forehead. This camera simulated the position of the human eye. Through the surface monitor, Zhang Ran found that Wang Fan did not aim the front camera completely at the door mirror, and the picture captured was a bit crooked. However, this is not a big problem. After splicing all the pictures together, the problem of a bit crooked picture can be solved.

Wang Fan did not open the door and shouted angrily: "Who are you looking for?"

"I'll look for..." The actor outside the door took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his pocket and raised it towards the door mirror. There were only two words on it: Knife Hand.

"The kitchen knife seller is in the market, go downstairs and turn left!" Wang Fan replied loudly, turning around and grabs two bags of milk and a box of cat food from the cabinet next to the door.

In the story of "The Returned No Way", the black cat Aksha is an intelligent life and has many conversations with the heroine. During the trial filming, the actor needs to move on for Aksha and play the heroine. The actor who plays Aksha comes and says, "Who is looking for a knife?"

Wang Fan nodded with a serious expression and whispered: "Move in the afternoon."

Aksha cursed: "Which rat-raising bastard leaked our place?"

Wang Fan sucked the milk bag and began to throw his clothes into the suitcase, starting to prepare for the move. However, the man outside the house had no intention of leaving and stubbornly knocked on the door. Wang Fan walked over in two steps, opened the door with a loud bang, stood with his waist and cursed: "Do you have any problems with your head?"

The man was stunned and then whispered: "I'll look for... a knife hand."

"You are so big, a knife? If you want to commit suicide, buy a kitchen knife and go downstairs to the market. I don't have a kitchen knife here. Do you want to give you a rope to hang? Which mental hospital has not closed and released you, and run to someone else's house to buy a kitchen knife. What's wrong with your head? Get out of here, I'm going to see you up!"

Wang Fan slammed the door with a "bang", deliberately making things in the room jingle, then walked to the door gently and observed the behavior of the man outside the room through the door mirror. In the door mirror, the man sighed softly and left helplessly. Wang Fan exhaled and turned to look at the actor who played Aksha: "Have you found out about his identity?"

Aksha immediately said: "Cheng Liang, male, 48 years old, professor of chemistry at Zhejiang University, the corresponding IP of the home address has been recorded."

At this moment, Zhang Ran shouted loudly: "Okay, that's OK! Everyone have a rest!"

Zhang Ran walked to the VR group, picked up VR glasses and put them on his head. The 360-degree picture of the VR movie is composed of multiple shots shot from different perspectives. Zhang Ran and their cameras have 12 lenses, so 12 lenses need to be put together. For this reason, Century Peak has developed a special splicing software. While shooting, the camera can splice the pictures in real time, and the picture output to the VR group is a 360-degree panoramic picture.

After Zhang Ran watched the filming content, he gave Zhao Fei the VR glasses to see the effect. After several main creators finished watching, Zhang Ran and others sat together to discuss the problems existing in this shot just now and whether there were other better shooting methods.

After some discussion, Zhang Ran called Zhou Qing over: "The rest of this camera is good, but the picture is too shaky. Many people will be dizzy when watching VR. If the picture is so shaky, there will be more people who will be dizzy. If it is a short film of a few minutes, it may not be a big problem, but ours is a feature film, and there are still many action scenes at the back, which is definitely not possible. This problem must be solved. The shock absorber must be installed on the helmet, and it is best to install a Stenikon for the VR camera."

Zhou Qing also knew that camera shake is fatal to VR movies, so he said: "There is no VR version of Stenickon, nor three-axis gyroscope stabilization equipment. If we only started research and development now, it might take several months or even longer. The movie will be filmed in June, and it is too late!"

Zhang Ran said: "Our play is an experimental movie. If it is not finished in one go, it must be filmed intermittently; the front part of the movie is a literary drama, without violent movements, and it is okay without Stenickon. You can develop it slowly, so there is no hurry."

When Zhou Qing heard Zhang Ran say this, he nodded and said, "We will start the research and development of VR Stenickon as soon as possible!"

On that afternoon, the Cannes International Film Festival Organizing Committee held a press conference in Paris and announced the film list of this film festival. Among the 19 main competition units, Zhang Ran’s new work "Scarlet Sun" will participate in the competition for the Best Palme d’Or, becoming the only representative of Chinese films.

13 of the 19 directors who have been shortlisted for the new films in this year are regular visitors who have been shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes, which has made the competition for the Palme d’Or extremely exciting. Zhang Yimou, who was originally optimistic about being shortlisted for the main competition unit, only appeared on the list of the "non-contest screening" units, causing huge controversy in China.

Two days later, the "Director's Biweekly" unit of the Cannes Film Festival announced that this year's Golden Horse Carriage Award will be awarded to Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran is the first Chinese director to win this honor, and the award ceremony will be held in Cannes on May 15. The Golden Horse Carriage Award is the director's Biweekly Lifetime Achievement Award founded in 2002. It is named after the masterpiece "Golden Horse Carriage" by French film master Jean Renoir. Before that, film masters such as Clint Eastwood, Nanny Moretti, and David Cronenberg were awarded this honor.

Domestic movie fans were shocked after hearing this news. In everyone's impression, the Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to the old man, and Zhang Ran was less than 40 years old. He won the Lifetime Achievement Award at a young age, which is too exaggerated!

"I'm going to Cannes, have you drawn? How old is the boss? He actually gave him a lifetime achievement award? Is it a real thing to give the Palme d'Or first?"

"I just saw this news on Weibo and cheered for Zhang Ran! But Zhang Ran is only in his 30s. Is it too early to give the Lifetime Achievement Award now?"

"Zhang Ran is really amazing. He is only in his thirties and won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Cannes Film Festival!"

"Winning the Lifetime Achievement Award means that Cannes does not intend to give Zhang Ran the Palme d'Or? I always think that Zhang Ran is the most promising among Chinese directors! It is not a good thing to give the Lifetime Achievement Award so early!"

After hearing this news, Zhang Jingchu felt incredible. Because the Lifetime Achievement Award is often awarded to the old men in their seventies and eighties, commending their entire film career, but Zhang Ran is only 37 years old and has only been making movies for more than ten years. It is a bit strange to give him a Lifetime Achievement Award now. She even joked with Zhang Ran about this: "Old man, congratulations, you have won the Lifetime Achievement Award!"

Zhang Ran was so amused and crying: "What are you calling me?"

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "Old man, aren't it all old men who won the Lifetime Achievement Award? If you win the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Cannes Film Festival, it means you are old!"

Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingchu and clamped his throat and learned from the Hong Kong and Taiwan accent: "Auntie, your crow's feet are so beautiful!"

Zhang Jingchu said angrily: "Hate, they don't have crow's feet, you're talking nonsense!" She hugged her daughter, kissed her daughter's little face, and said, "Xiaoxiao, we ignore dad, he's so bad that he actually laughed at her mother!" The little girl seemed very happy and giggled. Zhang Jingchu said to Zhang Ran, "Look at her daughter, she laughed at you!"

Zhang Ran took his daughter from Zhang Jingchu and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, you said to your mother, Mom, even if you are really old, your hair is gray and your face is full of wrinkles, it is the white moonlight in your father's heart."

Zhang Jingchu felt sweet when she heard this, but she pretended not to care: "I don't believe it!" She looked at Zhang Ran and asked: "Your movie has not been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, and she is so young, how could Cannes give you a lifetime achievement award? It's really strange!"

Zhang Ran explained: "This Golden Carriage Award is a Lifetime Achievement Award, but it is not the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Cannes Film Festival, but the Lifetime Achievement Award at the French Directors Association. The Real Lifetime Achievement Award at the Cannes Film Festival is called the Palme of Honor. Although the director's biweekly unit is a unit of the Cannes Film Festival, it is not organized by the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee, but organized by the French Film Association, and is under the name of the Cannes Film Festival. The Golden Carriage Award is selected by the French Directors Association, with the purpose of commending the real film genius." He said proudly: "Just like me!"

Zhang Jingchu rolled her eyes: "Narcissist!"

Zhang Ran stared at his daughter and smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, tell mom, dad is not narcissistic, dad is the most handsome, talented, and super invincible genius!"

The little girl thought Zhang Ran was teasing her, and giggled, then shouted: "Dad!"

Zhang Ran heard a blurry "Dad" from the little girl's mouth, and couldn't believe her ears. He turned to look at Zhang Jingchu and asked, "Did you hear it? Xiaoxiao seemed to call me dad just now?" Zhang Jingchu was about to speak, but the little girl called "Dad". Zhang Ran was excited: "Xiaoxiao really shouted to me, she can speak!" He looked at his daughter and said excitedly: "Xiaoxiao, I am my dad. If you shout again, you will shout again!" Sure enough, the little girl shouted again.

Zhang Jingchu was also extremely excited and took the little girl from Zhang Ran's hand: "Xiaoxiao, I am my mother, call me mom!" The little girl looked at Zhang Jingchu and shouted "Dad". Zhang Jingchu quickly corrected: "It's not dad, it's mom. I am my mother, call me mom!" The little girl called "Dad" again.

Zhang Ran hugged the little girl from Zhang Jingchu's hand and said proudly: "My daughter is so smart. She knows who treats her best and who she is closest to!" He kissed the little girl twice on the face of the little girl, "Trojan, call her dad!"

The little girl shouted "Dad" very well again.

Zhang Jingchu was a little sad and began to scold her daughter: "You are a little unconscientious. Your mother has suffered so much hardships in ten months of pregnancy. In the past few months, my mother has taken you more. You can call you dad so easily. If you have anything to do in the future, I will stay there, mom!"
