The 85th Oscars finally came to an end, and "Future Apocalypse" was undoubtedly the biggest winner of the night, winning six awards including Best Director and Best Actress, while "Escape from Tehran" only won two awards, Best Editing and Best Picture, which is one of the best films with the fewest awards in Oscar history, Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" only won one award for Best Original Score, and Spielberg's "Lincoln" fared slightly better, winning two awards for Best Actor and Best Art Direction.

At the subsequent celebration banquet, Leonardo, Tom Cruise and many other stars, as well as senior executives of major film companies, congratulated Zhang Ran and said that they liked "Future Apocalypse" very much. Because there are too many people congratulating him, Zhang Ran has the same time to eat as he did last time at the Oscars.

After the Oscar dinner, Zhang Ran and the crew of "Future Apocalypse" and "Escape from Tehran" came to the Hilton Hotel to participate in the celebration party of Summit Entertainment. On this grand and wonderful party night, the famous singer Rihanna came as a special guest to entertain and put on a wonderful performance. In addition, the party also invited many celebrities such as supermodels, singers, celebrities, and designers from the fashion circle to attend.

"Future Apocalypse" won six awards, and the whole crew was extremely happy, and Scarlett Johansson even ran on stage to sing a song "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" for everyone. "Escape from Tehran" won only one award for best sound effects, but the crew still had a great time. For example, Jessica Chastain, in her opinion, as long as she doesn't lose to Jennifer Lawrence, she doesn't lose to Harvey's slut, it doesn't matter who she loses.

Zhang Ran was sitting and chatting with Rob Freman, CEO of Summit Entertainment, when Matt Damon came over: "Mr. Zhang, there is a party that I have with my friend in a while, and I especially hope that you can attend this party." Basically my good friends, Ben, and George Clooney. They're all fans of yours and want to get to know you!"

The American entertainment industry is similar to that in China, with many small circles. Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg and other people are basically from Boston, and they are more powerful in the group, so they are also called the Boston Gang. In recent years, as Matt Damon and others have become popular in Hollywood and have a certain right to speak, the influence of the Boston gang has become more and more great.

Zhang Ran has a good impression of Matt Damon, but his impression of Ben Affleck and George Clooney is more average, and more importantly, "Future Apocalypse" has just lost to Ben Affleck and George Clooney's "Escape from Tehran", and he is not in the mood to meet them now: "You Boston gang party, what am I going to do?

Seeing Zhang Ran's refusal, Matt Damon hurriedly said: "They all adore you very much, and they have always wanted to meet you and talk to you, but they have never had the right opportunity." When it came time to the party, they wanted me to invite you to the party. It's just to meet and talk, and it won't delay you too much. ”

Zhang Ran saw that Matt Damon had talked to such an extent, and it was not good to refuse, so he felt that it would be enough to go shopping and chat a few words casually, and he couldn't delay anything, so he said: "Okay, then I'll go and see!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Ran and Matt Damon arrived at a villa in Beverly Hills. In the parking lot in front of the villa, twenty or thirty top-of-the-line sports cars, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Pagani...... Obviously, the people here today are all rich and rich.

Zhang Ran put on the mask prepared by Matt Damon and put on the toga robe of ancient Rome. According to Matt Damon, the theme of this party tonight is Rome, and everyone will be dressed as Romans.

At the door of the villa, after Matt Damon handed over the invitation card, the security guard looked at it, and then opened the door.

Walking into the villa, there is a hall, where men and women gather together, sitting or standing, the men are wearing the ancient Roman toga robes, and the women are wearing the white stora robes. Not only the guests, but also the waiters present were also dressed in Roman attire. All of them wore masks, not the kind that covered the entire face, but the prom masks that covered only half of the face.

Matt Damon found an empty table, asked Zhang Ran to sit down, and then told Zhang Ran that he was going to find Ben Affleck and them. Zhang Ran picked up the wine glass and drank it slowly, while looking around. The men and women all talked softly with wine glasses in their hands, occasionally letting out a crisp laugh or two.

A young woman walked over, sat down in front of Zhang Ran, and asked, "Are you alone?"

Zhang Ran glanced at the woman, only the lower half of her face was exposed, and he couldn't tell who it was, but he felt that he should have seen it, which actress it might be. A party like this in the entertainment industry is either here to pull relationships or to have fun. Everyone wore masks, and they didn't have to worry about it, and after the night, no one knew anyone.

No matter what kind of purpose the woman in front of him had, Zhang Ran was not interested, shrugged his shoulders and said, "No, I came with a friend, and he will be back soon!"

The woman chuckled, "Yes, I saw your friend." I'm talking about female companions, and you can't go to this party without a female companion. Since you don't have a female companion, then I will be your female companion, you don't want to spend this night alone, do you?"

Zhang Ran looked at the woman and said coldly, "Do you know who I am?"

The woman chuckled, "Does it matter? I don't care who you are, I just want to talk to you." ”

Zhang Ran thought to himself that if you really wanted to talk to me, you would never say that, because I think you have other intentions, and normal people will definitely get angry when they hear others doubt themselves this day, but you don't. If you don't know who I am, you're a ghost!" He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I don't know if you're interested in movies?" The woman said, "Yes, I like movies." A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Ran's mouth: "I like Godard's "History of Film" very much, and I plan to make a film in the future, called "History of Film". Do you know Godard's "History of Cinema"? This movie is interesting......"

Zhang Ran gushed about Godard's "History of Cinema" is a documentary, and the obscure pictures and narration are like books from heaven to ordinary audiences, but this film has a very high evaluation in European and American intellectual circles and critics, integrating literature, music, philosophy, painting, modern history and many other elements, and Zhang Ran is also talking about these.

The woman could understand it, just like listening to Tang Seng chanting scriptures, only dizzy. She complained bitterly in her heart, this guy is gay, the beauty is in front, he doesn't talk about love or sex, what kind of bullshit art is it, it's just psychopathic! But she can't go, and she has to pretend to understand, face the smile, and nod her head from time to time, how hard and hard it is.

At this moment, Matt Damon led a middle-aged fat man with a big belly over. The fat man raised his glass to Zhang Ran and said, "Long time no see, I didn't bother you to talk about love, right?"

Zhang Ran was stunned, although he was wearing a mask, but this fat body, his chin full of scum, and this voice, it was not who Harvey was! He glanced at Matt Damon and realized that he had been deceived, and it was not the Boston gang that wanted to see him, but Harvey. Matt Damon's famous work "Soul Catcher" was invested and distributed by Harvey, this is a film that swept the major awards, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck rose to prominence in Hollywood with this movie, so Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Harvey have always had a good relationship. This is the PR battle of the Oscars, and Harvey has tried every means to discredit "Future Apocalypse" and other competitors, but he has never had Black Matt Damon, nor Black Ben Affleck's "Escape from Tehran".

Zhang Ran glanced at Matt Damon, raised his glass and took a sip, then looked at Harvey, and said lightly: "What are you doing with me here, don't you blame me for grabbing the trophy I wanted, and you're going to beat me up, right?!"

Harvey sat down opposite Zhang Ran, and as soon as he sat down, the masked woman got up and sat next to Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran ignored her and looked at Harvey coldly.

Harvey spread his hands and said, "Of course not, I'm a civilized person!" Hearing this, Zhang Ran almost didn't spray, who doesn't know that you Harvey is an old rascal, when did you become a civilized person? Harvey continued: "I can take the trophy from others, and of course others can also take it from me." I came to you to reconcile with you, but we don't have much enmity, right? I once plotted against you, but you didn't suffer, I was the one who suffered. Not only lost Miramax, but also lost Fahrenheit 911. ”

Zhang Ran said lightly: "But now you are on the side of my worst enemy!"

Harvey said: "It's a mistake to stand on Wanda's side, Wanda and Wang Jianlin are very rich, but they don't understand movies at all." Maybe you don't know, they are going to make "Warcraft", make monster movies, and are also preparing to put all kinds of Chinese stories on the big screen, such as fighting monsters on the Great Wall, all of which are super blockbusters, and they are crazy. Wang Jianlin and Wan Da don't understand movies, nor do they understand American audiences, and they always think that American audiences will be interested in these 5,000-year history. But the truth is, the vast majority of people are not interested. I think they're going to be like Sony did with Columbia, and they're going to make huge losses in the next few years! Sony is strong enough to withstand the huge losses that Columbia has to offer. But Wanda's strength is too far from Sony's at the beginning, and it will bring down the entire company if it is not good. ”

Harvey is right, Americans are very arrogant, in their opinion American film and television works are the best in the world, and they are not interested in other countries and regions at all. Luc Besson is very disdainful of Hollywood, but the films shot by his Europa Pictures use a large number of American actors, and all of them are English-language films; Zhang Ran's fame in the United States is so great that the critics of "One Man Shines the Light" have blown up to the sky, and he also won the Oscar for Best Director, and the box office is only more than 10 million. Wan Da's approach is to bring about his own destruction.

However, Wanda has no other choice now, and the peak of the century does not supply films to Wanda, which not only has a huge impact on Wanda Wanda Cinemas, but also has begun to threaten the safety of Wanda Plaza. Wanda's rapid rise depends on Wanda Plaza, which invests in the plaza to acquire land at a low price, and develops residential buildings around it to recoup funds and maintain self-owned properties.

In the past two years, due to the impact of new commerce, e-commerce, and the erosion of manpower and leasing costs, the entire department store industry has been sluggish, and the situation of Wanda is not good. The refusal of Century Summit to supply films to Wanda not only caused Wanda cinemas to suffer heavy losses, but also caused a lot of impact on restaurants and other stores, and Wanda Plaza in many places suffered huge losses.

If this situation is not reversed, the sign of Wanda Plaza will be smashed, and the foundation of the entire Wanda will be shaken. In this case, Wanda has no choice but to desperately produce movies to fill the vacancy caused by the lack of films at the peak of the century and attract more customers to Wanda.

Zhang Ran would definitely not say these words, he was very suspicious of Harvey's purpose in coming to him: "You didn't bring me here to talk about this, did you?"
