After Zhang Ran walked into the Dolby Theater, a staff member quickly guided him to his seat.

As the big favorite of this year's Oscars, Zhang Ran and the crew of "Future Apocalypse" were arranged in the area closest to the stage, behind them was another popular crew "Youth Pi"; as for "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" and "Django Saved", because Zhang Ran and Harvey had conflicts, they were arranged on the other side of the stage.

As soon as Zhang Ran sat down, Li An in the back row greeted him with a smile: "Zhang Ran, long time no see!"

Zhang Ran faced Ang Lee's smiling face, a trace of apology flashed in his heart, according to the normal historical trend, Ang Lee should have won the Oscar for Best Director for the second time, but because of himself, Ang Lee was much less likely to win the award this time. Of course, this thought is just a flash, after all, he doesn't steal or rob, he relies on real strength. He smiled and said, "Director Li, I haven't seen you for a long time! I haven't seen you for two years, and I found that your hair is a lot grayer!"

Ang Lee said lightly: "I have a lot of pressure to shoot "Pie", an art film, the cost is nearly 100 million US dollars. I wanted to make the most expensive art film and make a name for myself, but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to satisfy the audience, after all, the cost was so high. I was struggling between art and business, and I was very tired. The last year and a half, purely survived. Like Pie, I drifted to shore in despair with no hope. He looked at Zhang Ran and said enviously: "At this point, I am particularly envious of you, you don't have to think about business and art at all, and you don't even need to participate in various award ceremonies." ”

Zhang Ran is rich enough, so he really doesn't have to worry too much about the cost. However, this does not mean that Zhang Ran can make any movie as he wants, after all, censorship is there, which is an unavoidable creative obstacle for mainland directors, so he said: "I will also consider commercial and artistic issues, after all, I still hope that my films can be seen by more audiences." He looked at Ang Lee and asked, "What's your plan next?"

"I want to bring Joe Fraser's fight to Manila with boxing champion Ali to the screen and make it into a 3D movie, and maybe try 120 frames!"

Zhang Ran was a little surprised when he heard that Ang Lee would continue to make 3D movies and try 120 frames, Ang Lee was not a technical director, but an artistic director, but he didn't expect to continue to try new technologies, so he said: "Are you ready to transform into a technical director?"

Ang Lee shook his head with a smile and said: "As a director, to our level, I actually hope to leave something behind, and I hope to leave my name in history." But I'm not a genius like you, I can't create reel shots, I can't combine multi-part montage with classical music, and I can't use the song structure in a movie. 3D cinema and new technology have given me the opportunity to create a new cinematic language, which is a new medium, and there is a lot of room for exploration and creation of a new cinematic language, so I want to do some exploration and experimentation, and leave something on the cinematic language!"

Zhang Ran understands Ang Lee's thoughts very well, the reason why the peak of the century studies VR, to a large extent, is because Zhang Ran feels that the film language has almost come to an end, and it is very difficult to innovate, and his own movies can't be made by Kurosawa Akira, instead of standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking up to his predecessors, it is better to find another way to create a new movie. However, now Zhang Ran's concept has changed a little, and the film language has not come to an end, at least China's splendid culture and the differences with Western culture provide the possibility for film language innovation.

At 5:45 p.m. Los Angeles time, the 85th Academy Awards officially began.

"Now it's live at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood Heights, Los Angeles, California, which went bankrupt last year and the Kodak Theatre was renamed the Hollywood Heights Center, and soon after that the name was Dolby Theatre. This is the scene of the 85th Academy Awards! Girls, gentlemen, and welcome to tonight's host, Seth McFarlane!"

As the narration sounded, the Dolby Theater burst into applause. The lights on the stage came on, and host Seth McFarlane appeared in center stage. Seth McFarlane is an actor, screenwriter and director, and he wrote and directed last year's box office hit comedy "Teddy Bear."

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, countless Chinese fans sat upright, their eyes glued to the display screen, waiting for the awards ceremony to begin. This year's Oscars, domestic media and netizens have paid great attention to it, not only Zhang Ran's "Future Apocalypse" and Ang Lee's "Youth Pi" participated in the Oscar competition, but also Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin and other stars attended this Oscar as guests. This shows that Chinese films are getting more and more attention from Hollywood, which is a great achievement for Chinese filmmakers.

According to the Oscar tradition, the host will introduce and ridicule the nominated popular movies after taking the stage, and this year will naturally be no exception. Seth McFarlane's first teased target was "Escape from Tehran", the top seed for this year's best picture: "There are a lot of great movies this year, who watched "Escape from Tehran?"

Seth McFarlane applauded: "Very good movie. "Escape from Tehran" decodes a former secret dossier about an American hostage rescue in Iran's post-revolutionary period, and the secret dossier is not nonsense. The academy judges didn't know who the director of the film was, so they couldn't vote, so Ben Affleck didn't get nominated for Best Director. ”

There was a burst of laughter, and Ben Affleck, the object of ridicule, could only smile while touching his chin helplessly.

Just when Zhang Ran was laughing with the guests, he suddenly saw Seth McFarlane's gaze looking at him, and he knew that Seth McFarlane was coming to "Future Apocalypse". As a big favorite for the Oscars, "Future Apocalypse" will definitely be ridiculed by the host, and he is curious about how Seth McFarlane, a cheap-mouthed guy, will tease.

Seth McFarlane smiled maliciously: "Future Apocalypse is a great movie, with a staggering 2.2 billion at the box office and over 500 million viewers, which is an amazing achievement. The audience burst into warm applause. Seth McFarlane was also applauding, but after the applause, he immediately said: "The financial staff of Summit Entertainment is working harder and needs to work overtime to prove that this movie is not making money." Speaking of this, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's really difficult!"

The guests burst into laughter, Zhang Ran also laughed and applauded, Seth McFarlane's words were ridiculing that big Hollywood companies always use financial means to make movies look loss-making on the ticket, so that they don't have to share it with actors and investors.

After some teasing, the opening song and dance began, and this year's opening song and dance was also very Seth McFarlane style: "We've seen your Mimi, we've seen your Mimi, we've seen your Mimi in the movies we've watched." Meryl Streep's Mimi was seen in "The Silkwood Incident" and Naomi Watts' was in "Mulholland Drive" ......"

Before the Oscars, the media predicted that because the host was Seth McFarlane, this year's awards ceremony would definitely be full of yellow jokes, but I didn't expect him to give everyone a song "Mimi's Song" as soon as he came up. Many people at the scene wanted to laugh, but this song was really a bit explicit, and it didn't seem to be particularly respectful of the dew point actress, and many people forced themselves to laugh.

However, the audience in front of the TV did not have so many scruples, and they laughed and clapped their hands. Chinese netizens in front of the computer laughed and lamented that Americans really dare to play. Some netizens sighed: "Zhang Ran is too conservative, he has never shown Mimi in movies, and Jiang Wen has shown Mimi in three of his four movies." ”

Immediately, some netizens retorted: "The heroines of Zhang Ran's movies are basically Zhang Jingchu, if I were the director, I wouldn't let my daughter-in-law be exposed." ”

Scarlett Johansson is a sex bomb in the eyes of many, and in the words of David Fincher, the audience just wants to see her undress. Interestingly, though, Scarlett Johansson hasn't actually stripped naked in the movie until now. So Seth McFarlane teased Scarlett Johansson, not saying in which movie she saw her Mimi, but saying that Scarlett Johansson's Mimi was in the phone. In 2011, Scarlett Johansson's phone was hacked, and nude photos of the phone were leaked.

Hearing Seth McFarlane make fun of his nude photos, Scarlett Johansson's face instantly darkened, and if it was a place where no one was, it was estimated that he would have slapped his phone directly on his face.

After the joyous opening song and dance, the awards party got to the point, with last year's Best Supporting Actress winner Olivia Spencer taking the stage to present the Best Supporting Actor award.

Olivia Spencer stood on stage and said with a smile: "The five actors who won the Best Supporting Actor award have received a total of 21 nominations, and each of them has won at least one award. In my opinion, they are the most amazing group of actors. Nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award was ......"

The female narrator begins to introduce the five winners, and a clip of the five winners appears on the big screen. The five nominees are: Alan Arkin for "Escape from Tehran," Philip Seymour Hoffman for "The Master," Tommy Lee Jones for "Lincoln," Christopher Waltz for "Django Unchained," and Robert De Niro for "Apocalypse of the Future."

After the short film, the screen is split into five pieces, and five actors appear in each of the five frames. However, they are all relatively indifferent, after all, they have all won the Oscar, and their mentality is better than that of ordinary people.

At this moment, even more nervous than them are the members of the five crews, as well as the countless viewers in front of the TV. Many fans of Future Apocalypse are praying in their hearts for Robert De Niro.

"The winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor was ......" Olivia Spencer announced loudly, "Robert De Niro!"

The crew of "Future Apocalypse" stood up and applauded with a smile on their faces when they heard that Robert De Niro had won the award. Alan Arkin, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tommy Lee Jones and Christopher Waltz all laughed and applauded. The audience stood up and saluted the great actor with applause. Robert De Niro was very calm, kissed his wife, hugged Zhang Ran again, and then walked to the stage with a relaxed step.

The male voice narrated: "This is Robert De Niro's third Oscar for acting, in 1975 he won the award for Godfather, in 1981 for "Raging Bull" won the Best Actor Award, he is the second actor to win the Oscar three times!"

Robert De Niro smiled and said, "I want to thank Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, and everyone on the crew. The filming of "Future Apocalypse" was an adventure through time and space, and under the leadership of Captain Zhang Ran, we crossed many obstacles to the other side of success, and then he took us to this stage. In the world of movies, you are the real hero. You climb to the top of the sky because you have the courage of a hero. You wrestle with the old because you have the courage of a hero. You have come across the ocean because you have the courage of a hero. It is a great pleasure to cooperate with you! Thank you, thank you!"
