The entertainment industry has never lacked beautiful faces and actors with excellent acting skills. However, no matter how beautiful you are, your acting skills are excellent, and without the blessing of good works, you cannot stand out.￥f, for an actor, it is too important to meet a good director.

Just like Gong Li, when she was casting "Red Sorghum", she had an opponent, Shi Ke. Both of them had good conditions, and Zhang Yimou couldn't make up his mind. In the end, she used the method of tossing a coin to decide, and fate chose Gong Li. If the coin was the other side, perhaps Shi Ke would have become an international superstar.

Zhang Jingchu naturally understood this. If she hadn't met Zhang Ran, she might have been an unknown young actress. After all, in this circle, she has better acting skills than her and much more beautiful than her.

However, Zhang Jingchu didn't want Zhang Ran to be too proud, so she despised: "Narcissist!"

"This is not narcissism, it's confidence as a director. In fact, it's not wrong to say it's narcissism. Those who are directors are basically narcissists and think that their works are the best." Zhang Ran reached out and hooked Zhang Jingchu's chin and said with a smile, "Little girl, I'll be with Director Zhang Da in the future!"

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "Okay, Director Zhang Da, but when will I shoot a drama with the heroine for me?"

The so-called drama of the heroine is a drama centered on female roles. If an actress wants to stand out, she must take on the drama centered on female leads and star in a drama centered on her. It is not about giving the heroes a so-called soy sauce, but only this type of work can make people perform.

For example, Zhou Xun is one of the four young actresses, but she is the weakest among the four, and her works are mainly TV series. However, after she joined Huayi, she starred in several movies such as "Li Mi's Conjecture", "Painted Skin" and "The Sound of the Wind", and suddenly she started.

Fan Binbin has been on the vase route, but she also knows that her partner Li Yu will star in a movie with the heroine as the core. When she won the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo Film Festival, her entire career immediately took a step forward.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It depends on your performance? In this way, let's dance pole dance for this director first!"

"Hate, I won't jump!" Zhang Jingchu punched Zhang Ran and asked with a smile, "Serious, can I take any other route except Zhang Ziyi's route?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "Your mouth feels pouty and looks very cute. When you put on makeup, soften the upper lines, which feels like a girl next door, and looks fresh and natural. "Breaking Drummer" is like this. It's good for you to take the literary route, but this road is even more difficult to walk, and your opponent is stronger than Zhang Ziyi!"

Zhang Jingchu said puzzledly: "No, who is better than Zhang Ziyi?"

Zhang Ran explained: "Xu Jinglei is following this path. If you follow this path, you will run into a car with her. Xu Jinglei herself is not very powerful, but behind her is Wang Shuo, the entire Beijing circle. Zhang Yimou has been criticized for years, who is criticizing him? It is the Beijing circle! So Zhang Yimou gave these people a name called Shouwenjie. These people are not easy to mess with!"

The so-called Beijing Circle is a circle formed with the children of the Beiping Courtyard as the core. These people are from good backgrounds, pretentious, and think they are very awesome. They were very active in the 1980s and 1990s, and now they have mostly retreated behind the scenes. However, their influence is still there and their energy is amazing. Not to mention Feng Xiaogang in this circle, even Wang Zhongjun is just a younger brother.

Zhang Jingchu has been in the entertainment industry for a few years, and it is impossible for her to not even know about the Beijing circle. She knows that these people have a lot of energy. As Zhang Ran said, Zhang Yimou has been criticized by them, and it is quite unwise to provoke these people: "Actually, I don't want to compete with others. It's so boring that I can't even fight. Isn't there a route that doesn't need to die?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "Then you can only take the route that others have not taken yet. According to the conditions and resources in our hands, you can take the high-end fashion route. We are friends with Galliano. When we were in Cannes, he invited us to attend this year's Paris Fashion Week! He is a master in the fashion circle. With him in line, it is easy to gain a foothold in the fashion circle. This is something that no other star in China has, and no one can compete with us!"

Zhang Jingchu asked, "Where is the movie?"

Zhang Ran frowned and said, "This is the trouble. It is best to take a fashionable route to make more fashionable movies, but there are almost no directors in China who can shoot such a subject. There are several directors in Xiangjiang who can shoot, but you also know that I and Xiangjiang are not too good at dealing with you. You are my girlfriend, and they will definitely not cooperate with you. If you take this route, you can only continue to follow us to shoot science fiction films. However, science fiction films are expensive, male stars need to hold the box office, and female characters are relatively weak. However, when the situation will change in four or five years, we should build our own circles. At that time, no matter which line you want to take, we can give you enough support."

This was the first time Zhang Jingchu heard Zhang Ran talk about his plan and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of circle do you want to build?"

Zhang Ran did not hide it: "I used to want to build a movie ecosystem, from film production to distribution, screening to surrounding areas, and ensuring that my movies are visible to more viewers. Now I have a group of students in my hand, and I have worked hard to teach them for four years. I definitely hope that they can make a comeback, so I hope that my system can give newcomers more opportunities."

The most important thing to establish such a system is money. The concept of money is not hundreds of thousands or millions, but only in units of billions, and it is possible to achieve results. It is like Tencent and Alibaba burning money like they did after entering the movies.

Zhang Ran needs money, a lot of money, so he filmed "Space-Time Warrior" and bought "Fathan 911" from Harvey. He knew that doing so would bring a lot of trouble, but he needed money.

Zhang Jingchu knew how difficult it would be for a new actor to make a comeback. It would be great if there was such a system. She sincerely said: "I really hope this day will come soon!"

On July 9, after nearly three months of shooting, the last shot was finally finished that afternoon.

Zhang Ran repeatedly checked the monitor's screen and asked about recording and photography. The answer he got was that there was no problem.

Zhang Ran stood up, looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, took a breath, and tried to speak in a calm voice, but after he spoke, he had a clear tremolo: "This shot has passed, "The Aviator" has been completed!" After that, he couldn't suppress his excitement and applauded vigorously.

As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, all the crew burst into a shocking cheer. The film was originally planned to be filmed in two months, but it was filmed and stopped. It took nearly three months, but now it has finally been completed.

Although there were no major problems during the filming of the movie, there were continuous small twists and turns. People who experienced everything from beginning to end had more experience with the movie, and the entire filming process of the movie was unforgettable.

Zhang Ran was originally laughing, but tears fell down as he smiled. In the past, he read Ang Lee's biography. When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar, he hugged the producer and cried. He felt it was incomprehensible at the time, so he wasn't so excited, right? But now, he fully understood.

In his last life, he saw the comic "The Aviator" when he was in college. At that time, he decided that he would make a movie if he had the chance. From then on, it has been more than ten years, and two lives. In this process, he drew tens of thousands of storyboards, designed countless shots, and went through many hardships. Now that the movie has finally been filmed, he really can't suppress his feelings!

Almost all the old men who followed Zhang Ran to film several dramas. In their hearts, Zhang Ran was as firm as a soldier. She collapsed in front of her and her expression remained unchanged. He never dreamed that Zhang Ran would cry and was all stunned. What's wrong?

Only Zhang Jingchu knew how heavy Zhang Ran was watching this movie. She walked over, hugged Zhang Ran, and comforted her: "We should be happy after the movie is finished!"

Zhang Ran patted her back and smiled and said, "I'm just so happy!"

At this time, Zhao Fei came over and gave Zhang Ran a hug: "Zhang Ran, thank you! Thank you for letting me participate in this movie. He is so unique. This will be my lifelong pride!"

Although the movie has not been finely cut and has not cut the picture into a 4:3 picture, just with the current rough cut and color tuning, he also knows what an amazing movie this is. The large number of horizontally shifted lenses, telephoto lenses, overexposure and backlight make the whole movie look extremely crazy, but at the same time it has an extraordinary charm.

With the development of films to this day, the language of films has become quite mature, and it is difficult to make any breakthroughs. Directors often compete with their personal style. Just like Ang Lee and Wong Kar-wai, whether it is awards or box office, Lee will definitely beat Wong Kar-wai, but Wong Kar-wai's ranking on various film lists is much higher than Lee. For example, Wong Kar-wai ranked first among the largest directors in the 21st century selected by TSPDT.

The reason is simple. Ang Lee's movies are close to the mature Hollywood set, and there are few breakthroughs in aesthetic form and style, while Wong Kar-wai has made his own aesthetically from the very beginning.

The reason why Zhao Fei values ​​this movie so much is because the movie’s personal style is so strong!

"Don't say that. Without your joining, our movie wouldn't have been filmed at this level." Zhang Ran said sincerely. This is really not an exaggeration. Without Zhao Fei's assistance, this movie would not achieve its current effect.

After hugging Zhao Fei, Zhang Ran hugged the crew members one by one with gratitude: "Thank you for the hard work these few months. Without you, the filming of the movie would not be so smooth."

"Director, don't say that. It's my honor to be able to make a movie with you!"

"Zhang Ran, I must cooperate again if I have the opportunity in the future!"

"Director, I think our movie can win a big prize!"

"Space-Time Warrior" was released in China on July 15th, and now it is only a few days away from its release. Domestic media have always maintained a high level of attention to the crew of "Flyer". There are reporters waiting for the hotel they live in every day. Therefore, as soon as "Flyer" was announced to be completed, the media knew about it.

After learning the news, the media reported and even began to discuss whether "The Aviator" would create miracles like "The Breaking Drummer" during the New Year's Eve!

"Zhang Ran's new film "The Aviator" was completed, and the promotion of "Time and Space Warrior" was put on the agenda!"

"The film "The Aviator" directed and acted by Zhang Ran, was completed. Zhang Ran said that it felt interesting to be the leading actor in the movie for the first time, and he had a happy three months."

"This year's New Year holiday has Feng Xiaogang's "The World Without Thieves" and Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu". If Zhang Ran's "Flyer" also enters the New Year holiday, then this year's New Year holiday will be the most intense New Year holiday in China's history."
