Li An glanced at the names on the list of winners, his hand trembled slightly, raised his head to look at the audience under the dark pressure, and said excitedly: "This is a historic moment, the Best Director Award was awarded to a foreign language film, Zhang Ran!"

The moment he heard his name, Zhang Ran stood up directly, raised his hands high, like a striker who scored a key goal in the World Cup final; in the next second, the crew members of "One Man Lights Up" all pounced, shouting and shouting around Zhang Ran, "Zhang Ran, you won the award!", "Oscar Best Director Award, you made history!", "Oscar Best Director Award!", "Teacher Zhang, you succeeded!"...... As if not, I couldn't express my inner excitement.

At the moment when Ang Lee read out the list of winners, Tom Hopper and David Fincher were a little disappointed, but they were immediately relieved, Zhang Ran's work was too strong, and they were convinced to lose to Zhang Ran, he stood up and gave a sincere applause, Darren Aronofsky, the Coen brothers gave a standing ovation, Robert Downey Jr. gave a standing ovation, Meryl Streep gave a standing ovation, Tom Hanks gave a standing ovation, and even Coppola, who came to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award, stood up and gave Zhang Ran, and finally everyone in the entire Kodak Theater stood up and gave the warmest applause。

At the same time, in the studio of the peak of the century, Ning Hao jumped up, raised his hands high, and shouted vigorously, and the host, Zheng Dongtian, and Zhou Liming also stood up, smiling and applauding. In the standard screening hall of the Peking Film Academy, the students of Nortel and Asia Film, who were watching the Oscars on the big screen, stood up and cheered loudly, and then played a crowd wave.

In a hotel in Hengdian, Yang Fan jumped up, screamed like a madman, and then proudly said to his assistant: "Even if Liu Kaiwei, that old man still wants to chase me, and he doesn't look at who I am, I'm Zhang Ran's student!"

On the Internet, whether it is Fly and Facebook abroad, or Weibo, Tieba in China, and other forums, countless netizens are frantically swiping the screen: "My Zhang Ran is the best!", "Make history!", "Congratulations Zhang Ran, you are the best director in China!......

In the 83-year history of the Oscars, 29 directors have been nominated for foreign language films for foreign language films, including Fellini four times and Bergman three times, and the first Asian director to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director was Hiroshi Kawahara's "The Daughter of Sand", followed by Akira Kurosawa's "Chaos", and then Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Many of these award-winning films far surpassed the award-winning films of the same year in terms of directing skills, artistic value, and historical status, but they still lost in the end. After all, the Oscars themselves are an American game, and they are a white man's game, and it is naturally more difficult for others to win the Best Director award.

Now this history has been rewritten by a Chinese!

With a strange brilliance, in the warm applause of the audience, chased by the camera, Zhang Ran walked on the podium with light steps.

Ang Lee hugged Zhang Ran, patted him on the back hard, and said excitedly: "Well done, Zhang Ran! It's really good! What Bergman and Fellini didn't do, you did! It's really amazing, this is the pride of all Chinese filmmakers!"

Zhang Ran lowered his voice and smiled: "I'm just doing better than them in public relations!"

"It's a great movie, and it's my honor to present you with an award!" Kathryn Bigelow handed the Oscar statuette to Zhang Ran and gave him a warm hug.

"It's also my honor to receive the trophy from you!" Zhang Ran responded with a smile.

Catherine Bigelow and Ang Lee didn't speak again, stepped aside, and gave way to the stage, which at this moment belonged only to Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran stood in front of the microphone and looked at the audience, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Before I stepped on this stage, there were 29 directors who were nominated for Best Director for foreign language films. Among them are my favorite directors Akira Kurosawa and Bergman, as well as my favorite movies "Red", "The Years of Dogface", and "The Aviator"!"

The audience immediately burst into laughter, because "The Aviator" is Zhang Ran's own movie.

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran looked at Ang Lee: "There is also Director Ang Lee, whom I particularly respect." They didn't win this award for a foreign language film, but I did, and it made me really scared. It's not that I'm better than them, it's not that my work is better, it's that I'm living in a more open and inclusive era. People are able to be more tolerant of films from different countries. Thank you for this era, thank you for the movies! Finally, I would like to say that discrimination still exists, and before Christmas, Jing and I first met a girl who was of mixed race, but she couldn't get a job in Hollywood because of her Chinese surname, so she wanted to change her surname. This is a terrible thing, and I hope that this phenomenon will become less and less, and I hope that the world will become more and more tolerant! Thank you!"

Zhang Ran lifted the Oscar statuette and went backstage for an interview amid overwhelming applause.

In a villa in San Francisco, Wang Keying pointed to Zhang Ran on the TV screen and shouted: "That's me, Zhang Ran is talking about me!"

Wang Keying's parents and brother were taken aback when they heard this: "Do you want to change your surname?"

Wang Keying explained: "It's been almost a year since I returned to the United States, and I have been interviewed again and again, but I just can't pass it, and others will exclude me as soon as they see my surname. I was thinking about whether to change my surname, but I didn't really want to change it, and I felt annoyed, so I went to Hawaii to relax. Unexpectedly, I met director Zhang Ran and his girlfriend, and he suggested that I go to audition for "S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Divine Power". The directors of these two dramas are Chinese, and the director and producer of "S.H.I.E.L.D." is Huang Yiyu, who is the director of "Death is Coming", and finally I passed the audition for "S.H.I.E.L.D." and got the role of the heroine Skye!"

Backstage at the Oscars, Zhang Ran stood in front of the background board with the Oscar statuette pattern and was interviewed by reporters.

The host nodded: "Please ask reporter No. 7 to get up and ask questions." ”

The reporter got up and asked: "May I ask Director Zhang Ran, you are the first director in the history of the Oscars to win the Best Director Award for a foreign language film, what is the significance of this award for you?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "The biggest significance is to improve my popularity, let more audiences know me, and at the same time let more audiences pay attention to this movie, let more audiences see this movie, and at the same time, it can also make me more confident to make the movie I want to make and continue to follow my own path." ”

The Oscar is undoubtedly a high honor, but to say how much Zhang Ran values it, it really doesn't, winning the Oscar does not show how high the artistic achievements of your film are. William Wheeler has won three Best Director and three Best Picture, how high is his status in film history? It is definitely a good thing to be able to win an Oscar, because it is run by Hollywood members, it has the highest sensitivity and the most attention, it can be described as a star-studded gathering, and winning the Oscar can drive the box office. But if you can't get it, that's it, Hitchcock, Kubrick, these senior masters have not won the Oscar, and it does not affect the glory of their lives.

Ang Lee used to be more conflicted about the Oscars, and even struggled. Because if you make an art film, win an Oscar, or enter the competition for this award, there is a little bit of a decline. But then Ang Lee saw that winning awards in Hollywood is a job, and a movie with a large audience may not be art;

Zhang Ran is different from Ang Lee, he received both Hollywood and independent film education at UCLA, and he himself has been influenced by the Hollywood industry, and he positions himself as a director who makes commercial films with the author's method, just like Akira Kurosawa and Coppola. In Zhang Ran's view, winning the Oscar can let more audiences know themselves and know their own movies, which is the most significant significance.

Another reporter who was targeted by the host stood up: "Did you ever watch the Oscars when you were a child? Was this a dream for you when you were young?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said: "I only started watching the Oscars after I arrived in the United States, and I have watched it many times, I like it very much, and everyone likes it." But I'm always disappointed with the results, because my favorite movies often don't win awards, and my favorite directors and actors always don't win awards, and the Oscars bring me a lot of disappointments, but the same Oscars bring me more surprises and have many memorable moments. When I stood on the podium, I really fulfilled my childhood dream. ”

After a brief interview, when Zhang Ran returned to his seat, the Best Actress was about to be announced. He looked at Zhang Jingchu and found that Zhang Jingchu's face was full of lightness, knowing that she knew that this award was no fun, so he shook her hand to show comfort. Zhang Jingchu smiled at Zhang Ran, took the little golden figure in his hand, and played with it in his hand.

In the studio of the pinnacle of the century, the host asked many Zhang Jingchu fans the most concerned questions: "Three teachers, do you think this award is possible?"

Ning Hao shook his head: "Jing Chu's performance is the best of the five, but being able to get the nomination is the biggest victory." ”

Zheng Dongtian shook his head: "There is no hope." ”

Zhou Liming also shook his head with a wry smile: "It's impossible." The Oscars are an award run by Americans, and when the performance is not particularly different, they vote for Americans as the first choice, and the second choice is the same skin color as them. There were four Britons in the 1998 Academy Award for Actress, Helena Carter in "Pigeon Wings", Julie Christie in "Wife Swap", Judi Dench in "Mrs. Brown", and Kate Winslet in "Titanic", but in the end this award was awarded to the worst American Helen Hunt among the five nominations. If it weren't for a more watery Gwyneth Paltrow the following year, I'm afraid that the crown would be on Helen Hunt after the water. The British are still like this, let alone the Chinese! The same is true for the best picture, "One Man Lights Up the Light" won the Best Editing Award, it is said that there is a great chance to win the Best Picture Award, in fact, there is no possibility, the Oscars cannot give the best picture to a foreign language film, this is the reality!"

In fact, as Zhou Liming said, the actress was won by Natalie Portman with a big belly, the actor was won by Colin Firth, the actor of "The King's Speech", and the best picture also went to "The King's Speech".

When Spielberg, the guest of the Best Film Award, read out the "King's Speech", Harvey Weinstein jumped up directly, jumping and jumping with a big belly, and the fat on his belly also jumped, which looked particularly funny.

Accompanied by Harvey's cheers was the loss of more crews, Zhang Ran knew that this award was not for him, and he was not disappointed, but just glanced at David Fincher sympathetically, "The Social Network" is a good movie, and it is a pity to lose to "The King's Speech".

As an annual film feast, after the Oscars, the attribution of major awards has undoubtedly become a hot spot in global media reports, and winning five awards and creating history "One Man Puts on the Lights" has become the focus of all media reports.
