Chapter 372 Come on Chinese Movies

In the early morning of September 14, 2004, Zhang Ran took the students in his class to do morning exercises like all the classes.

Most of the students worked very hard on rhythm, voice training, body training, and breath training, but a few students' performances made Zhang Ran unsatisfied. He kept correcting: "One minute on the stage, ten years of hard work off the stage. Every movement must be done to the extreme, and every voice must have quality. Jia Niaoliang, what's wrong with you?"

When students in the performance department arrive at their senior year, their teachers rarely supervise their morning tutoring. Because when they arrive at their senior year, students have to really go for their future. Students who take the postgraduate entrance examinations must lock themselves in their rooms, watch English, and memorize politics, and all other students have to send materials, auditions, and find a way out.

However, Zhang Ran insists on letting students in the 01 model program perform morning exercises. People are lazy. After graduation, they are busy acting all day long. How many people can persist in practicing? Now if you can control more, just take care of them more!

One hour later, everyone finished practicing morning exercises and rushed to the cafeteria in groups of three or three. The students became much more steady and would never be like in the freshman year. When Zhang Ran shouted to disband, they were chirping like a group of sparrows, and their laughter could be heard throughout the campus.

While having breakfast in the school cafeteria, Zhang Ran received news from China Film. The box office of the Time and Space Warriors yesterday was counted, with a total box office of 1.4 million, with a total box office of 353 million. This result was better than expected, because the pilot won the Golden Lion, and the entertainment version of the domestic media was all about Zhang Ran, because it led some viewers to enter the theater.

Now the time warriors are still 5.6 million away from the Titanic's 359 million yuan. It's only 2 days and only 6 films are filmed. According to the box office trend, to break this record, we can only expect miracles to happen.

Zhang Ran had no good idea, so he could only post soft articles to call on movie fans to enter the theater. Posting soft articles is a relatively common method. For example, when the bullets were about to be released, he posted a press release online: "The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television finally understood, and the bullets were banned from broadcasting. It would be too late to see it!" As a result, a wave of viewers went to the cinema to watch movies. Time and space warriors are completely different from letting bullets fly. It is impossible to use the General Administration as a joke, and what he can do is everyone's patriotic enthusiasm!

As for whether it can be done, everything is left to the movie fans!

After breakfast, Zhang Ran and the students from 01 came to the small theater to prepare for rehearsal.

In the conference room of Qing Film Studio, Ning Hao pushed the laptop to Qiu Yuanxu, Ding Sheng and the others. It was not very appropriate for Zhang Ran to do the soft article, so the task was handed over to him. He was very satisfied with the article he wrote, but he needed to listen to everyone's opinions.

After Qiu Yuanxu and the others finished reading the article, Ning Hao asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Qiu Yuanxu seemed very satisfied: "It's amazing, if this article is posted, it should be able to inspire the enthusiasm of many netizens. It will definitely set off a movie viewing craze today and tomorrow!"

Seeing Ding Sheng frown, Ning Hao asked, "Ding Sheng, do you think you can see?"

Ding Sheng frowned and said, "There is 5.6 million yuan, it's only 2 days, and it's too small to shoot movies. It's probably difficult to reverse the situation with just such an article!"

Ning Hao didn't know: "It's very difficult, but we have no other way. We can only try it!"

Ding Sheng pondered: "I think if we can bring some celebrities out to help us stand up, such as Jingchu, Zhou Jielun, and Liu Yifei, they all have many fans. If they can call on fans to watch the movie, the effect may be better!"

Ning Hao stood up as if he had a spring on his butt: "My grass, this is a good idea. I'll call Teacher Zhang!"

Chen Qingsong is a relatively famous screenwriter and film critic in the circle. He graduated from the Department of Film Literature of Beijing Film Academy. Since 1999, he has served as a judge and planner of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, the Peking University Student Film Festival, and the Changchun Film Festival.

As a screenwriter, Chen Qingsong lives a leisurely life. He often sits in a cafe, opens his laptop and writes leisurely. At this moment, he is drinking coffee leisurely, and suddenly receives a call from Gu Xiaobai, saying that something big happened, so he asked him to go online to check it out immediately.

Gu Xiaobai is a famous freelance writer who mainly writes movie reviews. In 1998, he became friends with Chen Qingsong at Sina's Yingxing Tianxia, ​​and later moved to the back window forum of Xisi Hutong. Now they often appear on NetEase's I Love Movie Forum.

After hanging up Gu Xiaobai's phone call, Chen Qingsong opened the web page and held the I Love Movie Forum. After entering the forum, Chen Qingsong suddenly found that the latest top post had nearly 10,000 clicks and hundreds of replies. The title of the post was very eye-catching and the Chinese movies avenged the shame.

Chen Qingsong's heart hopped suddenly, and he felt a strange feeling, and subconsciously clicked on the post.

"Friends, friends who love Chinese movies. The Korean box office record holder is Tai Chi Flag Flying, the Japanese box office record is Chihiro and Chihiro, both of which are local movies, while the creator of our country's box office record is Titanic, a Hollywood movie. On our land, the record is created by foreigners, which is a shame for Chinese movies!

After seven years, we finally have the opportunity to rewrite this record!

The gap between Chinese movies and Hollywood movies is very big, whether it is capital or technology. The only thing we can compete with is you, the most respectable and lovely movie fans. Now it is only two days before the second film of the Time Warrior, and there is still 5.6 million left before the Titanic record. Here, we make a call for us to enter the theater again if we have time and energy, for the honor of Chinese movies.

We hope that more friends will join in and rewrite this record that has been pressed on Chinese movies for seven years. The Chinese movies will avenge their shame today!”

The whole post was written according to Zhang Ran's meaning, and it was very inflammatory. However, when Cheng Qingsong saw the picture following the text, he couldn't help but take a breath. It was a photo of Zhang Jingchu, and she held a piece of paper and said: "Come on time and space warriors, come on Chinese movies!"

Pulling the mouse down, followed by a photo of Zhou Jielun. He also held a piece of white paper with the same content: "Come on time and space warriors, come on Chinese movies!"

Further down are photos of celebrities such as Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Hu Jun. The content written by Liu Yifei is a bit different from others. She wrote: "Come on, Master, come on Chinese movies!"

The photos of these celebrities were first posted on their respective posts and forums. For example, Zhang Jingchu's photos were posted on her official website First Love, Zhou Jielun's photos were posted on Zhou Jielun Chinese website, and Liu Yifei's photos were posted on the official website Yifei family Ning Hao and others, and then posted them to several large communities such as Tianya, Xisi Hutong, Maopu.

Below are the netizens’ replies. There are many great masters in the I Love Movie Forum, and they were the first ones to reply. Zhou Liming replied: "I have watched the time and space warriors three times, and I will watch it once. Come on, Chinese movies!"

Gu Xiaobai replied: "I watched it twice, and I decided to watch it again. Come on, Chinese movies!"

Wei Junzi replied: "I like the time and space warriors and hate Zhang Ran, but I decided to watch it again. Come on, Chinese movies!"

More than 400 replies, the contents vary, but the last sentence is "Come on Chinese movies!"

Chen Qingsong looked at the reply and the familiar names, and his scalp was numb again and again, especially the sentence "Come on Chinese movies", which was like a flame, flowing all over his body with blood, making his blood boil.

Zhang Ran has a bad relationship with the Xiangjiang filmmakers and is even known as the killer of directors of the Xiangjiang films. Hong Kong film fans like Wei Junzi and Woodcarving Zen Master hate him very much. But now these people have stood up and supported the time and space warriors, because everyone loves Chinese movies and hopes that it will be better!

Chen Qingsong also hated Zhang Ran quite a lot. This hated him for contempt for commercial films and jealousy for Zhang Ran’s success. But at this moment, he looked at the names and sentences "Come on Chinese movies", and an impulse surged in his heart. He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Qingsong, why did you call me?" After the call was connected, a familiar voice came from the opposite side.

"How about watching a movie together tomorrow? Time and space warrior!" Chen Qingsong said with a smile.

"What? Time and Space Warrior, you didn't write articles to criticize Zhang Ran a few days ago, saying that he had brought Chinese movies to the evil road. Time and Space Warriors are trash!" Hearing Chen Qingsong's words, the other party was shocked.

"Yes, I hate Zhang Ran and think he is the scourge of Chinese films. But that's just a line dispute. I'm also a Chinese filmmaker. The Titanic has been pressing on us for seven years. It's time to avenge us!" Chen Qingsong said seriously.

"Okay, let's add fuel to Chinese movies together!"

In 2004, the Internet was not as developed as it was ten years later. Blogs just emerged in China. No celebrities played this. Xu Jinglei had to wait until 2006 to play blogs, and Weibo was not even born. Real celebrities rarely appeared online, let alone interact with netizens. Therefore, celebrities are still far apart from ordinary netizens and are more mysterious creatures.

Now suddenly so many celebrities appear online, calling on their fans to support the time and space warriors, which immediately caused an uproar in the online world. Fans were so excited that they were crazy. While expressing their importance to the movie theaters supporting the time and space warriors, they forwarded Chinese movies to avenge their shame on the Internet.

Of course, Ning Hao's post also aroused doubts from some netizens, believing that this is suspected of moral kidnapping. Can I not love Chinese movies if I don't watch it? Can the time warriors represent Chinese movies?

These doubts were a bit picky, but did not cause much response and were quickly drowned out by netizens' hot discussions.

In the last two days of the release of the Time Warrior, many movie fans from all over the country once again entered the cinema. Not only ordinary movie fans, but also many actors who had never met Zhang Ran went to the cinema to express their support for the movie.

In a cinema in Peking, the reporter met Li Binbin. After the movie ended, the reporter conducted a simple interview with him. Li Binbin said: "I especially like the movies directed by Zhang Ran, and are also part of Chinese movies. I hope the box office record of Chinese movies belongs to us Chinese!"

In the last two days when the Time and Space Warriors were about to finish the film, the attendance rate of the movie has once again increased sharply, and many venues have reached 100, shattering the eyes of theater managers from all over the world.

On September 14, the Time Warriors achieved a box office of 50,000, and as long as the box office of the 15th exceeded 2.25 million, it would break the record that kept the Titanic for 7 years.

Can the time warrior break the Titanic record? Countless people are looking forward to the final result.

On the morning of September 16, Zhang Ran was having breakfast in the cafeteria, and he received a call from Han Sanping. As soon as the movie was connected, a trembling laugh broke out from the other end of the phone: "2.65 million, Zhang Ran, the record of the Titanic is broken!" To be continued
Chapter completed!
