China Entertainment Anchor

He told Liu Yifei about it after he got home at noon.

"Come over with me tomorrow and watch. Most of Li An's movies can be watched."

Liu Yifei nodded. She was also very curious about Li An's film. After all, the first 4K120 frame film had quite a reputation.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the two of them were driven by bodyguards to the Youtang store of Bona International Cinema in Beijing. The manager of the cinema came over as soon as they entered the lobby.

"Director Zhang, Ms. Liu, please come with me." The manager made an invitation gesture to them politely.

Zhang Yang saw that Fatty Yu didn't come over in person, so he asked curiously: "Who came over today?"

"In addition to Director Li and his son, there are also Director Jia and his wife, Director Chen's family, Mr. Xiao Wang and Mr. Feng Pants of Huayi, Mr. Wang of Fiber Optic, Director Xu and Director Lin."

It’s normal for Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian to be both old partners of Bona. Others may have been attracted by this first 4K120 frame film.

When Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei entered the IMAX hall of the theater, a group of people looked at them.

It was inevitable for everyone to chat for a while. After the greetings, everyone wanted to chat again. When Fatty Yu saw that everyone was here, he took the opportunity to say: "Don't chat for now, let's watch a movie first! How about we have dinner together after the movie?" ”

"Okay! It's not easy for so many people to gather together." Section Chief Jia was the first to agree unexpectedly. Everyone looked at him in surprise. He is not usually so active.

"Yes, the last time there was such a crowd was when Zhang Yang was experimenting with new technologies for the Spring Festival Gala." Li An also nodded in agreement.

Everyone was even more surprised. The two most socially fearful people were the first to agree. It's interesting. It's really interesting.

After the two of them agreed, the party tonight was basically stable.

Soon the movie started playing, and just after watching it for a while, someone started rubbing their eyes.

For example, Li Chun, Chen Feiyu, etc., when the video is halfway through, more people feel uncomfortable. Even Zhang Yang squinted his eyes, which was a bit blurry!

Soon nearly two hours passed, the movie ended, and the lights in the screening room were turned on.

A group of people sat there with expressionless faces. Li An stood up and looked at the famous domestic directors with a humble smile: "How is it? What do you think?"

"Director Li, your movie came out late." Zhang Yang shook his head with regret.

"How?" Feng Pengtong asked curiously after hearing Zhang Yang's words.

"If I had seen this movie before 09, I would have been moved to tears. Now I don't feel much, I'm just watching the story."

The loneliness in this movie is particularly well rendered, and it fits Zhang Yang's state of mind before he had a girlfriend. Now...

Wang Zhonglei and Fatty Yu yawned at this moment. They just thought this movie was too boring.

"How about this story?" Li An looked at Zhang Yang expectantly. He is arguably the best storyteller in the world.

"Not to mention the story, just watching it makes people a little tired. You should watch the story at 60 frames, so it feels better." Zhang Yang analyzed.

"And after watching your movies, Director Li, many people used to say that your movies are based on Western thinking. In this movie, you have magnified the Eastern thinking. It may be difficult for Americans to understand."

“As I was filming, I realized that it was difficult for this film to integrate into the values ​​of today’s Americans.

In fact, war is only a small part of what I want to express. What I care about is people, a kind of social group portrait. "Li An also frowned and smiled bitterly.

"What you want to convey in this movie is a feeling, a psychology, and an emotion. The ultimate goal is to make the audience empathize, so this technique is necessary, right?" Poet Chen concluded.

Li An agreed very much with what Poet Chen said. He nodded. He felt that Poet Chen was still the same Poet Chen who made "Farewell My Concubine". But why did the filming of the movie go so messy?

"I just feel that the story is a bit thin and the overall story is relatively flat." Chief Jia was a little dissatisfied with the movie.

“When using new technologies, there are always some trade-offs to be made,” Li An explained.

The connotation of this film is still the same as his previous films, telling the big environment through small characters.

But the form of expression is very different. In the past, his films had a three-dimensional richness between theme, presentation and story. This work is very flat, using the passage of time and experience to maintain the structure.

"So what will be the box office of this movie?" Fatty Yu asked a very vulgar question. He is the domestic distributor of this movie.

As soon as his words came out, many people looked at Zhang Yang unconsciously. He looked at these things more accurately.

Zhang Yang didn't speak, he looked at Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei felt Zhang Yang's gaze and thought for a while: "I feel that the domestic box office and reputation of this movie will be greater than abroad."

"What Yifei said makes sense." Zhang Yang nodded in praise.

After everyone listened, they didn't know for a moment whether Zhang Yang was speaking politely or telling the truth.

After Fatty Yu got the answer, he waved his hand and invited everyone: "Let's go have dinner first, and let's chat while we eat."

The movie didn't start until almost four o'clock, and it ended at six o'clock. Everyone discussed it for a while, and it was time for dinner.

There are many supporting restaurants where Bona Cinema is located, and Fatty Yu has already arranged the place.

When the group arrived at the place, the food was served quickly, and everyone started chatting again for about half an hour.

Fatty Yu looked at Li Chun and Chen Feiyu with a lot of emotion: "Director Li, the young master of Director Chen's family is about to make his debut.

Lao Mouzi's daughter has also become a director, and Director Feng's daughter has also become an editor. Our second generation of famous directors are going to take full advantage. "

"I just missed my son so much that I took him with me. You have also seen the movie, and Li Chun is the one who does it." Li An was as humble as ever.

"Children are just messing around." Feng Pants was also rarely modest.

"Feiyu can't live up to his expectations, so he can only become an actor first." Poet Chen still focuses on humility.

"Nowadays, actors are also very good. Look at Sun Li, she made a scarf and complained, and the local area immediately stopped the night construction." Feng Pengtong said without hesitation.

Everyone raised their mouths after hearing this.

"Do you regret using Fan Xiaopang?" Poet Chen looked at Feng Pants with a little teasing. He was referring to the expulsion of Fan Xiaopang from the University on the 24th.

"To be honest, Fan Xiaopang's performance in the movie this time was not bad." Feng Pengtai spoke fair for her. "Her reputation is too bad and her reputation is too great." Zhang Yang analyzed calmly. Everyone can see Fan Xiaopang's usual behavior. While she gained popularity, she also had a bad reputation.

Many people present nodded their heads.

"Zhang Yang, do your children go to preschool?" Fatty Yu suddenly asked curiously.

"No."

"Aren't you anxious to educate him?"

"I still want him to grow up happily."

"Nowadays, many families start preschool education at the age of one or two."

"What's the use of it? Just learn quickly. I don't think Zhang Hongyi is stupid." Zhang Yang didn't care.

While everyone was chatting, Section Chief Jia suddenly made a request to Li An: "Director Li, I am planning to hold a film festival. The preparations are almost complete. Now I want to set up two units called Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon to discover new talents. I hope you can Authorization.”

"What film festival?" Feng Pants asked with interest.

"It is initially determined to be held in Pingyao, and it will be called Pingyao International Film Festival. If something unexpected happens, it will be changed."

"You can take it and use it as you wish." Li An waved his hand generously. These are small things to him.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yang: "Director Zhang, I would like to invite you to come to Beijing University to hold a film-related dialogue with me."

Zhang Yang didn't speak immediately.

"I was also entrusted by someone this time. As soon as I told Principal Gong that I wanted to hold a dialogue in their school, he asked me to invite you." Li An continued.

Everyone laughed after hearing this. Zhang Yang's visit to Beijing has almost become a joke.
He thought for a moment that he would have to go there sooner or later, so he simply agreed: "Okay, I have to go there sooner or later anyway."

"Okay, the topic of this discussion is the content and technology of the movie, and it will be held on the 30th." He wanted Zhang Yang to prepare well.

"Good guy, have you even thought of the theme?" Wang Zhonglei was very surprised.

"Yes, if Director Zhang doesn't agree, Director Zhang, Director Chen, Director Feng, and Director Jia will all be among my choices." Li An said with a smile.

"Of course, President Gong told me to invite Zhang Yang to have a conversation in the Centennial Lecture Hall, which also gave me motivation."

Everyone laughed after hearing Li An's words.

A century-old lecture hall! The specifications given by Beijing University this time are unusual.

"So I really have to prepare well, otherwise I will lose face when the time comes." Zhang Yang joked.

"Director Zhang, remember to show mercy when the time comes!"

"I think he's showing mercy." Fatty Yu teased.

The small gathering ended with everyone chatting and laughing.

The next day, news spread about the dialogue between Zhang Yang and Li An at the Centenary Lecture Hall of Peking University on the 30th.
The first reaction of netizens was that Zhang Yang had finally come to Beijing University, and the students of Beijing University had also been waiting for him for a long time.

There was a lot of discussion about this conversation online. Especially after the theme was leaked by the Beijing University Student Union, the content and technology of the movie.

What Zhang Yang says all day long is that the essence of movies is to tell stories, but Li An likes to try new technologies and wonders what kind of sparks they can create.

In the next few days, Zhang Yang continued to pay attention to the special effects of "The Meg". He made no special preparations for this conversation.

The time came on the 28th. When Zhang Yang was accompanying his son, he received a call from Zhang Yiming.

After Zhang Yang answered the phone, he asked immediately: "Yi Ming, will Byte Run start financing this year?"

"No, our company is developing better and better now. The later the company raises financing this year, the better it will be." Zhang Yiming explained.

"Then you called?"

"The Third World Internet Conference has begun. How about Director Zhang going there again this time?"

"What time?" In fact, Zhang Yang had already decided not to go, but he still wanted to hear the specific time so that he could find an interface.

"November 11th next month."

Zhang Yang suddenly felt that God was helping me. He immediately said: "At this time, I have to go to the United States to attend the premiere of "Joker" and I don't have time."

Zhang Yiming was a little disappointed, but since Zhang Yang had such a formal matter, he had no reason to invite him again.

"Pity."

"It's nothing. I don't know much about Internet companies." Zhang Yang said indifferently.

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

After Zhang Yang hung up the phone, he looked at Zhang Hongyi running around in the yard and laughed.

Time flashed to the 30th. This morning, Zhang Yang looked at the black suit Liu Yifei had prepared for him and was a little unhappy: "It's so cold today, just wearing a suit is not enough."

But Liu Yifei took out another black sweater with a half-turtle collar: "It's not enough to match it like this. You don't like wearing shirts anyway."

Zhang Yang nodded, and soon he changed his clothes and went to Beijing University accompanied by his assistant and bodyguard Xiao Zhao.

The Centennial Lecture Hall of Peking University was founded in 1905 and has a history of a hundred years. It carries the profound historical and cultural heritage of Peking University and even higher education in China. The current building was rebuilt in 98 to commemorate the th anniversary of Peking University.

There are more than 2000 seats here, but on October 10th, it still seemed not enough.
