Chapter 245

"The time and space warriors directed by Zhang Ran held a press conference in Peking. The film invested $120 million, setting a new high for co-production. The film invited Keanu Reeves, a male actor from the Matrix, to be the leading actor, and it is planned to start filming in April next year." Beijing Times

"As the director and producer of the time warrior, the rate of report is naturally what Zhang Ran considered the most. He said that joining Hollywood first-line male stars can allow this movie to travel all over the world. In the past, domestic movies were all regional, but this one did not." West China Metropolis Daily

"In addition to announcing the two male protagonists at the press conference, Zhang Ran also announced two Chinese actors, Zhang Ziyi and Liang Jiahui. In addition, there will be many Chinese faces in the film. But who will play these actors? Zhang Ran said that he will cast the role in China. However, there is one requirement, that is, the English is good, because the crew is an international team!" Yangcheng Evening News

Zhang Ran's new film is not only tracked and reported by domestic media, but also has shown great interest and eager attention to this most popular film in China.

The Los Angeles Times used half a page to report the time warriors in detail, with the title of the Chinese film starring Keanu Reeves aiming to attract Americans' attention. The analysis of the article is not only on the movie itself, but also on whether Chinese films can open up new channels in the North American market and the issue of the cultural barriers between China and the United States.

In addition to introducing the movie, the variety show also introduced Zhang Ran. After Zhang Ran graduated from Ula, he taught in China and made two movies in a year. One won the Golden Crow Award at the Fantasy Film Festival and the other won the Best Film Award at the Tokyo Film Festival. Variety Show believes that Zhang Ran is taking a path similar to Ang Lee, but he is more commercial.

Zhang Ran was quoted directly on the screen: "Kinu is very outstanding. He will become a key factor in attracting audiences from different cultures. Using this movie, we have the opportunity to let more people outside of China understand Chinese movies."

As media news comes out, the Internet is getting more and more excited. The happiest one is undoubtedly science fiction fans. There are many good science fiction stories in China, but there are not many directors in China who are willing to shoot and they are not able to shoot. After seeing a good story, many science fiction fans first reacted that Hollywood could shoot. Now they suddenly heard that the Six Paths of sentient beings were going to make a movie, and Hollywood superstars joined, investing 120 million yuan. That kind of excitement is hard to describe in words.

"Damn, I'm so excited! After watching Prisoner of Time last year, I think China can only rely on Zhang Ran to make science fiction films. As a result, he and Jay Chou ran to make music movies, which made me so angry! Unexpectedly, a surprise suddenly came!"

"He Xi's novel Six Paths of All living beings are particularly suitable for making movies, and foreign lands are also suitable for making blockbusters!"

"The six paths of sentient beings are good, but I think Liu's wandering earth has full-band blockage and interference, and it is better to make movies if he shoots these two novels!"

"Dear bosses, how about the novel of the Six Paths of All beings? Is it so good? Who has an electronic version? Give me a copy!"

"I'm going, I haven't seen the six beings. Last year's Galaxy Award!"

"Zhang Ran only made two movies. One was a TV movie, and the other was not released now. Can he do it? Can he really make a good blockbuster?"

"Lucbesson and Keanu Reeves are optimistic about Zhang Ran. You just question it, you're sick! 120,000 Zhang Ran can make a movie like the Time Prisoner. Now there are 120,000 US dollars. What is the reason to question him?"

Amidst the buzz of discussion, the movie Time and Space Warrior is among the crowd of sci-fi fans and Chinese movie-focused movies. It can be said that everyone knows it.

Influenced by the warriors of time and space, sales of science fiction worlds surged by 50,000 copies in January because there was a sad man from He Xi in this issue. At the same time, several publishers contacted the science fiction world and asked to publish He Xi's science fiction novel collection.

While the fans were cheering, industry insiders were also talking, but unlike the fans' optimism, industry insiders were not very optimistic about Zhang Ran's movie.

Investing 120 million US dollars, how much does it cost to invest! The risk is too great! Last year, John Woo's Fengshu invested 115 million US dollars, with Nicholas Cage joining the superstar. In the end, the box office in North America was only 360,000, which made MGM bankrupt. John Woo made the blockbusters such as Broken Arrow, Change of Face, Mission Impossible 2, which is still the case. Zhang Ran only made two small-cost movies, purely seeking death!

Of course, there are also some people out of jealousy. Zhang Ran can get an investment of 120 million by winning a few awards overseas. I am much better than him. No one is willing to invest in millions! This world is so unfair, and you won’t be able to get talent!

People who are self-inflated often die miserably, Zhang Ran is too inflated!

Countless colleagues were waiting to see Zhang Ran’s jokes, waiting to see his time and space warriors’ box office failed, and their mouths were broken.

In the last life, Hollywood stars went to China to eat roast duck and climb the Great Wall were the standard for receiving these foreign stars. Zhang Ran didn't do anything, so he took Keanu Reeves and the others to travel to the Great Wall, eat roast duck, and visit alleys.

Braudy looked a little melancholy, but in fact he was a funny guy. He was very interested in tricycles, so he asked Zhang Ziyi to ride on the bus and pedal the tricycles in the alley, and actually experienced the daily life of Peking people.

The tricycle was passing through the alley, and Zhang Ran's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Li Xiaowan's phone number.

As soon as it was connected, Li Xiaowan's voice came over: "Zhang Ran, I heard that your new film will be cast from China? Zhou Xun, Chen Kun and others are very good in terms of acting skills and image. If you want to feel it is appropriate, tell me."

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "No problem. I will arrange for them to audition at that time. If you can use it, your people will definitely not use other companies. We will not speak two words in our family!"

Li Xiaowan laughed when she heard Zhang Ran say this: "Just have you, please contact me then!"

A few minutes after hanging up Li Xiaowan's phone call, Chen Zhenghong called: "Zhang Ran, your noise is too big. I received several calls, all of whom I asked me to bring you. I hope I can participate in your new film, not care about the role, and not pay for it!"

"Brother Chen, I will arrange an audition in February. Let them try it out then, but you also know that I choose actors according to the role. I will definitely not ask for it if I don't meet the requirements!"

"I know, I can't help but help others. By the way, it will be broadcast before dawn at the end of the month, so you have to leave some time to come out. You will definitely be indispensable for publicity!"

"Why did it end of the month? Didn't it mean that it was broadcast during the Spring Festival? The Spring Festival is over at the end of the month, and the students are going to school. The ratings are definitely not as high as those during the Spring Festival!"

"There's no choice. Chen Guolin is now on TV. No one is allowed to wear his shoes!"

Zhang Ran originally planned to take the students to the United States at the end of the month. Although it was a TV series before Dawn, it also contained his own efforts. It was impossible to ignore it: "No problem, I will take the students abroad after the screening before Dawn."

"I really don't understand you. I've never seen a teacher like you before. I'm so nice to the students in my class!"

"If you are willing to give up, you will gain only when you give up. People cannot just look at the interests in front of you! Some things cannot be done by me alone. I need the strength of these children!"

In addition to Li Xiaowan and Chen Zhenghong, there were countless calls to Zhang Ran, including old friends and unknown people, but they all hoped to participate in Zhang Ran's new film for one purpose.

At the same time, the entrance of Qing Film Studio has become very lively, with some agency companies delivering information about their artists, and they only hope to be selected by Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran was not surprised by the reactions of domestic agency companies and actors. Now the hero has revealed the curtain of domestic commercial films, and the mainland's film and television industry is still quite backward. In addition to Zhang Ziyi and Zhao Wei, the rest of the mainland actors can basically only play soy sauce in Xiangjiang movies. For example, Fan Binbin is playing soy sauce in the Lion Roar in Hedong, and Tianji changes. Even Zhang Ziyi is playing soy sauce in Shushan before the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wins the Oscar.

Now Zhang Ran is in a multinational blockbuster, the producer is the great director Luc Besson. The starring is Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves. The major agency naturally wants to pay for it and go on the show.

Two days later, when Keanu Reeves and the others left Peking, Zhang Ran suddenly received a call from the General Administration, asking Zhang Ran to send the explosion drummer to the trial again. The reason was not mentioned, and Zhang Ran did not ask. Everyone knew it.

This time the submission to the review is obviously a face-saving project and will definitely pass the review.

In fact, the whole incident was as Zhang Ran expected. The momentum of the time and space warriors was too high, especially Zhang Ran's slogan was very beautiful and "promoted Chinese culture", which attracted the attention of the leaders above.

In the past two years, with the improvement of China's economic strength and its position in the global economic market, China's international status and international influence have also expanded. However, how to improve China's international image is a big problem. The government has taken great pains to create a good cultural image of the country in order to achieve foreign cultural dissemination.

Now there are young directors who are working with international filmmakers to promote Chinese culture, and the government will definitely support them strongly. Therefore, there are leaders in charge of culture speaking. Such ideal and aspiring young directors should support them more!

The leaders above said that the radio and television bosses were a little embarrassed. What would the leader think if the leader knew that the burst drummer had not passed the trial? He would think that we suppressed young directors and that something big would happen! As soon as the leaders of the General Administration decided, this matter should not be delayed, so let it go!

Two days later, the General Administration issued a notice that the burst drummer and the bloody notes passed the review, and the script of the time and space warrior was also passed.

After receiving the news that the movie was reviewed, Han Shanping called Zhang Ran and said sincerely: "Zhang Ran, your skills are so beautiful. The leader above said directly that he should support a young director like Zhang Ran. As long as your movie does not make principled mistakes in the future, no one dares to easily block your project."

"There is no way, others are so tough in the background. If I don't make a big noise, I will die miserably. Only by making things bigger will they have some concerns. This is called crying children with candy to eat!"

"You guy can play monkey by sticking your hair, you're so fucking!"

"What am I worth in front of you old people? You have to learn from you!" Zhang Ran said modestly.

Zhang Ran has seen too many open and secret struggles. Every year when the New Year movie was released in his previous life, it was a war, smearing opponents, making rumors, and even pirated movies. Various despicable means emerged one after another. He did not like these methods, but sometimes he had to use some means to survive.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran smiled. The movie finally passed the review, and the next thing was officially released, and the quality of the movie was the focus. He had absolute confidence in the quality of the movie! (To be continued.)

ps: There are many directors in China who want to make science fiction films, and some companies are willing to try it. For example, if there is a company, they are going to shoot Zhao Haihong's Iokasta. The novel is very exciting and does not require any special effects, but it just cannot be reviewed. The reason is that the subject matter is sensitive and I don't know what the clone's subject matter is sensitive. In reality, the story of the Six Paths of sentient beings is probably difficult to pass the review even if it is placed abroad. Some companies once planned to make zombie films and put the story abroad, but the script was still killed. The story of the Six Paths of sentient beings involves government conspiracy and will definitely be killed, so they can only yy in the novel.
