The 89th Academy Awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles on the evening of the 26th, and 24 awards were announced. The Chinese film "Angel of Justice" directed by Zhang Ran won five awards in one fell swoop, including Best Picture and Best Actress, becoming the biggest winner. Although Zhang Zhiming and Huang Ying had watched the video of the award ceremony many times, at seven o'clock, they still sat in front of the TV and watched the "News Network" and watched the "News Network" report on "Angel of Justice".

The camera cut to the scene of the award ceremony, and Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu hugged each other with smiles and faces. The host's voice continued: "The movie "Angel of Justice" is based on the three books "The Diary of Weitling", "The Diary of Rabe", and "Zhang Chunru", and is ...... by famous actors Zhang Jingchu and Amy Adams"

The little girl in Huang Ying's arms saw Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu, clapped her hands directly, and shouted excitedly: "Dad! Dad!"

Zhang Ran has been on "News Network" a lot of times, which is not a new thing, but as parents, Zhang Zhiming and Huang Ying are still extremely proud in their hearts when they see their son and daughter-in-law on stage to accept the award in "News Network".

At the same time, the entire network is still boiling. Since the end of the Oscars in the afternoon, the entire network has begun to boil, and various forums, post bars, online communities, and social software, discussions about Zhang Ran and the Oscars have reached an unprecedented height, becoming a hot topic among the whole people.

On Weibo, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu, Angel of Justice and Oscar firmly occupied the top five of the hot search list, and the number of readings of the interactive topics of "Angel of Justice" and Oscar exceeded 10 billion.

"#张然登顶奥斯卡#中国最杰出的导演张然获得第89届奥斯卡最佳导演, do you have anything to say to Director Zhang? Participate in the interactive topic and win the "Angel of Justice" Extended Edition Collector's Blu-ray DVD. ”

"I just checked, and neither Antonioni nor Robert Altman have won an Oscar. Only Zhang Ran not only won the top awards at the three major film festivals, but also won the Oscar for Best Picture. Zhang Ran is the only director who has achieved the grand slam of the three major film festivals and the highest award at the Oscars!"

"Wocao, that's the only Grand Slam in the world!

"No wonder everyone says that Zhang Ran is the first director of the new millennium, it's really awesome, it's not okay if you don't accept it!"

Since the first movie "Time Prisoner", Zhang Ran has swept all major awards around the world, and has won all kinds of awards all over the world so far. Do you think there are any important film awards you haven't won?"

By the next day, the North American and European media were overwhelmed with Oscar-related news. Unlike previous years, this year's media coverage focused not on "Angel of Justice" winning the best picture, but on the award ceremony. However, different countries have different attitudes towards oolong, with the United States and Britain reporting on the oolong as normal, while the French and German media are gloating.

In almost all reports, Zhang Ran's on-the-spot reaction was unanimously praised, and it was believed that Zhang Ran had minimized the embarrassing atmosphere of the scene through his humor. As far as some media exaggerated, Zhang Ran's response was better than that of the host Jimmy Canmore, his humor and his on-the-spot reaction were impressive, maybe the Oscars should consider asking Zhang Ran to be the host of the Oscars.

The reason for the award ceremony was also clear, and the staff of PricewaterhouseCoopers were so busy posting on Fly when giving the award ceremony to the award presenters, so that they gave the wrong envelope. PricewaterhouseCoopers publicly apologized on Fly: "We sincerely apologize to Angel of Justice, La La Land, Warren Beatty, Fay Donaway and all Oscar viewers for the mistakes made when the best picture was announced. The award presenter was given the wrong envelope, which was immediately corrected when it was discovered. We are investigating why this happened and regret it. We are also grateful to the nominee, the Academy, ABC and Director Zhang Ran for handling the situation decently. ”

Tranpu, who was scolded by the host and guests all night, seized this opportunity and fought back on Fly: "This year's Oscars put too much emphasis on politics and focused on attacking me, which led to not even getting the basics right in the end. ”

Shortly after Truangpu's post, Zhang Ran received a text message from Ivanka: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on winning the award. ”

Zhang Ran knew that she was nominally congratulating herself, but in fact she was reminding herself to keep her word, so she immediately replied: "Don't worry!"

The Oscars have a bonus effect on the box office, if a film is nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, its box office can increase by about $30 million, and if it wins, the box office revenue will increase by $30 million.

The day after "Angel of Justice" won the award, the film's North American theater scale quickly expanded from 2,134 to 2,879 halls. The film grossed 67.32 million at the North American box office, and thanks to the Oscar for Best Picture, the final box office of the film in North America should be able to break the $100 million mark.

Zhang Ran and the crew of "Angel of Justice" are very concerned about the box office of the movie, but they don't care about money, they will donate the final proceeds of the movie. They hope that the more movies they will gross, the better, because the higher the box office, the more people will watch the film, and the more people will know the truth about the Nanjing Massacre.

On this day, the crew of "Angel of Justice" received an email from the "Historical Fact Society" (full name "Nanjing-Protection of Historical Facts Film Festival Executive Committee"), a non-governmental volunteer organization in Dongying, and they wanted to organize a small-scale screening of "Angel of Justice" in Dongying. Zhang Ran felt that this was a good thing, and he should let the young people of Dongying see it and let them know what had happened at the beginning, so he agreed to the request of the Historical Facts Association.

On this day, the TSPDT published its latest rankings for 2017. In the director rankings, Zhang Ran rushed from 28th to 25th, surpassing Spielberg, Rossellini, and Kenji Mizoguchi, and ahead of him were Eisenstein and Truffaut. Among Asian directors, Zhang Ran ranked third behind Yasujiro Ozu and Akira Kurosawa.

In the movie rankings, Zhang Ran has four films in the top 1,000, of which "One Man Shines the Light" ranks the highest, ranking 25th, followed by "The Aviator" ranking 86th, "Future Apocalypse" ranking 197th, and "Scorching Sun" ranking 564th. "Angel of Justice" has just been released, and the highest-quality extended version has not yet been officially released, and it has not yet been on the list, but those who have seen the extended version think that this is a great movie, and it is only a matter of time before it enters the list.

Three days later, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu set off for China with the Chinese staff of "Angel of Justice". After the private plane landed in Lin'an, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu and Zhao Fei waved goodbye and drove home. The two of them hadn't been home for months, and when they opened the door and looked at the familiar furnishings, they both had a bright smile like a flower.

Huang Ying was holding the little girl and watching TV, and saw Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu slightly stunned, and then said with a smile on her face: "Zhang Ran, Jingchu, you are back! Why don't you say a word when you come back?"

Zhang Jingchu called out to her mother, while Zhang Ran asked, "Mom, where is my father?"

Huang Ying smiled: "He went out for a walk!" She lowered her head and said to the little girl in her arms: "Xiaoxiao, see who is back?"

As soon as Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu entered the house, the little girl saw them, and a clear spring suddenly appeared in her eyes. Now hearing Huang Ying say this, she grinned and cried. Huang Ying saw the little girl crying, so she quickly picked her up and coaxed her gently: "Xiaoxiao, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry!

Zhang Jingchu patted Zhang Ran on the arm: "Look, my daughter cried when she saw you, she must not know you, I thought it was a strange uncle who came to the house, and I was scared!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the little girl cried and stretched out her little hand to Zhang Ran, and shouted aggrievedly: "Daddy hug." ”

Zhang Ran's heart was like a heated thick chocolate, which melted in an instant. He held the little girl in his arms, like holding a porcelain worth ten thousand gold, for fear of being broken, and said softly: "Don't cry, don't cry! Daddy hug! Daddy hug!"

When Zhang Jing first saw the little girl lying in Zhang Ran's arms with tears in her eyes, her little hands tightly pressed Zhang Ran, as if she was afraid that he would run away, and scolded with a smile: "You little conscienceless, do you say that your mother spends more time with you, or does your father spend more time with you?" When your mother and father come back together, you just need your father to hug you, not your mother!"

Huang Ying saw that Zhang Jingchu's mouth was full of sourness, and comforted with a smile: "Xiaoxiao not only misses her father, but also misses you, and she calls her mother when she falls asleep at night." She looked at Zhang Jingchu, then at Zhang Ran, and said solemnly: "I'm going to say two sentences about you." Movies, careers, are important, but children are even more important. I read books that it is especially important for children to grow up with their parents, and it is not good for their parents to grow up when they are no longer around. ”

Zhang Ran kissed the little girl's little face, and said to Huang Ying: "Don't worry, Mom! In the next few years, I will go back to school to teach, and I will not be as busy as before." Like you said, movies and careers are important, but family is more important, and I want to spend more time with my family. He smiled at Zhang Jingchu and said, "When the Olympic Games were at the beginning, I told Jingchu that I would spend more time with my family after the Olympics were over, but I was still as busy as I was in the past few years." It's time, it's time to make good on your promises. ”

Zhang Jingchu smiled and took Zhang Ran's hand and shook it, there is nothing more important than family.

After filming "Scorching Sun", Zhang Ran already felt that he had reached the limit of his thinking, and it was impossible to make a movie that surpassed the three films "One Man Puts on the Lights", "Future Apocalypse" and "Scorching Sun". "Angel of Justice" is very good in all aspects, and the use of cameras, editing, and audio-visual language has reached a perfect level, but Zhang Ran, who has always been innovative and breakthrough, has almost no breakthrough in this movie.

Zhang Ran has already hollowed himself out, and his thinking has really reached the limit, and he can only repeat himself if he continues to shoot. For an aspiring director, there is really no point in making such a movie.

This situation was not only encountered by Zhang Ran, but also by Ang Lee. Ang Lee is not a director who is good at technology, nor is he a technical controller. But starting with "Life of Pi", Ang Lee played with technology. Especially the failure of "Halftime War", many people don't understand why Ang Lee, who is not good at technology, suddenly became stubborn about new technologies. In fact, the reason is very simple, Ang Lee has no breakthrough in story, audiovisual language, and art. As an aspiring filmmaker, Ang Lee is very unwilling to do this, and the only possible breakthrough for him is in new technology.

The direction of Zhang Ran's innovation and breakthrough is VR movies, but because it is an experimental film, it will not be shot in one go like previous films. It's about shooting a little bit with inspiration, and shooting a little bit with inspiration. To finish filming this movie, it will take at least four or five years, and at most ten years. Anyway, he's not in a hurry, VR is a new thing, take your time!

However, Zhang Ran is full of confidence in VR and VR movies, he believes that VR technology will allow China to complete the overtaking of corners, and VR movies will become a film language created by Chinese, and he is full of confidence in this!
