Chapter 986: Salute to the audience

Zhang Ran looked at the two award presenters on the stage, and found that Coppola's eyes were looking at him, his heart beat violently, and then he heard Coppola announce loudly: "Zhang Ran!"

The scene instantly boiled, the applause was thunderous, the cheers and shouts were endless, and the entire Dolby Theater fell into a frenzy!

The moment he heard the result, Zhang Ran's heart had a small pause, and then the huge joy flowed all over the body like slimy sugar water, penetrating into every cell, and the whole person was in great joy. The crew members of "Future Apocalypse" all jumped up, raised their arms and shouted, as if they had won the award.

When he heard the word "Zhang Ran", Ang Lee shook his head with a smile, and then stood up and applauded with his wife and the members of the crew of "Youth School". This result was already expected by Ang Lee, Zhang Ran and "Future Apocalypse" are too strong, and the possibility of "Youth Pi" winning is very small. Although it is disappointing to lose Best Director, he is still sincerely happy to see his compatriots win the award.

Behe Zetlinha laughed, sure enough, it was Zhang Ran, he applauded with a smile, losing to Zhang Ran is not a shame, it can even be said to be an honor. Spielberg shook his head slightly, and then laughed and applauded, it turned out that the two old friends were not here to cheer for themselves, but to crown Zhang Ran.

In the guest seat, Fan Binbin jumped up and screamed loudly when he heard the word "Zhang Ran", there are white people everywhere, it is the world of white people, but Zhang Ran has achieved such success here, it is really amazing. Zhang Ziyi is also very excited, it is too difficult for Chinese to work hard in Hollywood, Hollywood is full of discrimination against Asians, under the same conditions others will definitely not choose you, only a lot stronger than them, can be recognized, Zhang Ran can lift the best director trophy twice, it is really not easy! Chen Chong, Lu Yan and other Chinese actors of the older generation feel even deeper, they have suffered from white eyes and discrimination in Hollywood, knowing how difficult it is, they are sincerely happy for Zhang Ran's achievements.

Not only Chinese Americans cheered and applauded Zhang Ran, but Asians, including Koreans and Japanese, collectively stood up and applauded Zhang Ran. Hollywood likes to talk about anti-racism, but in fact, Hollywood racism is very serious. Of all races in Hollywood, Asian Americans have the lowest status, the most discriminated against, and the lowest pay. This situation has improved in the last three or four years, with an increase in the number of Asian faces and an increasingly positive image in film and television productions, thanks to the rise of the Chinese market and the rise of the peak of the century. In the eyes of many Asian actors, Zhang Ran is the real hero!

At the same time, in North America, in Europe, in Asia, and around the world, countless supporters of Future Apocalypse jumped up and let out earth-shattering cheers. On the Internet, on Fly, on Facebook, and on major film forums, Zhang Ran and "Future Apocalypse" began to swipe the screen frantically, and many domestic stars sent congratulations on Weibo for the first time.

Hu Jun said on Weibo: "I have collaborated with Zhang Ran on several movies, I really admire him, not his unparalleled talent, but his character and style, he is a role model I respect and learn, congratulations to Director Zhang Ran, you are our pride!"

Huang Lei said excitedly: "I'm so happy, Zhang Ran is the pride of Nortel, the pride of Chinese, and the pride of movies." Many people say that Zhang Ran is a genius, of course he is a genius, but many people don't see his hard work and persistence in his dreams. This award is an affirmation of Zhang Ran and an affirmation of all those who are committed to their dreams......"

Cheng Long also posted a Weibo: "Watching the Oscars in the room, I am really happy to see Zhang Ran winning the award." As a Chinese director, it is really not easy for his thinking and vision to be so global. Looking forward to cooperating with Zhang Ran!"

In the Dolby Theater, Robert De Niro hugged Zhang Ran and patted him the back: "Boy, you are a genius, a real genius!" Matt Damon also gave Zhang Ran a hug: "It's really amazing!"

After Zhang Ran hugged and celebrated with the crew members, he walked to the stage with a smile, and at the same time, the guests on both sides of the passage stood up and applauded, as if setting off a wave of people, Tom Hanks stood up, Meryl Streep stood up, and Spielberg stood up......

Seeing that almost everyone stood up to applaud Zhang Ran, Harvey hesitated, and finally stood up and applauded. It is true that he and Zhang Ran are enemies, but as a filmmaker, he can't disrespect Zhang Ran's achievements.

In the live broadcast hall of the peak of the century, Wu Ershan shouted excitedly: "Spielberg got up and applauded, wow, even Harvey stood up and saluted, everyone in the audience stood up and saluted him, Teacher Zhang is so handsome!"

As a student of Zhang Ran, seeing the teacher so respected, Wu Ershan was extremely proud in his heart. But at the same time, he also felt a lot of pressure, "Future Apocalypse" is so popular and so successful, if the sequel is not filmed well enough, I am afraid that it will be drowned by the audience's saliva.

In the studio of Phoenix Satellite TV, Li Shaohong also sighed: "The audience collectively stood up and saluted, even the enemy stood up and saluted, this is really not something ordinary people can do, Zhang Ran is amazing!"

The host couldn't help but say: "This salary is too high, is Zhang Ran's status in Hollywood so high?"

Li Shaohong said with great certainty: "Zhang Ran does not have a high status in Hollywood, but a very high status in the entire film industry, and if he goes to a European film festival, he will only be more respected." After more than 100 years of development, the language of film has entered a period of stagnation, and various techniques and techniques have basically been tried by predecessors, and innovation is becoming more and more difficult. In this case, Zhang Ran can continue to discover new things, telling everyone that the film language has not come to an end, and there are still various possibilities, which is really amazing, he is the boundary person who expands the film language!"

In the history of the Oscars, there have been 18 directors who have won the Oscar for Best Director multiple times, the most is Akira Kurosawa's idol John Ford 4 times, followed by William Wheeler and Frank Capra 3 times, and then Billy Wilder, David Lean and 15 others twice, and now Zhang Ran is one of them, becoming the 19th director to win multiple awards.

At the same time, Zhang Ran also became the first director to win this award for science fiction films, in the history of the Oscars, Kubrick, George Lucas and Spielberg and others have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for science fiction films, but in the end they all returned, and today this history is rewritten by a Chinese.

Under the applause of the audience, Zhang Ran walked onto the stage and smiled and hugged Coppola and Scorsese. Scorsese said with a smile: "I struggled for 30 years to win the Oscar for Best Director, and you won it twice in two years, what a jealous little guy!" Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I am jealous of you, you have made so many great works, if possible, I am willing to exchange all the movies for a "Raging Bull"!" After Coppola and Zhang Ran hugged, he patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder and said: "You are so rich, don't think about making money from movies, make more experimental movies, and don't waste your talent like Lucas!" Zhang Ran said with a smile: "I have always insisted on walking on two legs, while exploring, while winning the audience, I will continue to persevere!"

Zhang Ran came to the microphone, looked at the more than 3,000 guests in the audience, and said slowly: "It is the happiest thing for me to be able to receive the trophy from Mr. Scorsese and Mr. Coppola. They are my idols, they are my mentors, and making movies like Raging Bull and The Godfather has always been my driving force. Receiving the trophy from them is like receiving the diploma from the principal when I graduated from university, and I am really excited!"

The audience applauded thunderously. When the applause stopped, Zhang Ran raised the trophy and said: "I want to share this award with everyone in the 3,000-person working team of "Future Apocalypse", I want to thank everyone who helped us, especially the Irish Film Association, and the soldiers of the Irish Defence Force, thank you for your support, I love you! Finally, I want to thank all the fans who support "Future Apocalypse", thank you for your support!" Speaking of this, Zhang Ran began to speak Chinese: "I want to thank my father and mother, I love you!" Thank you to my wife Zhang Jingchu for her support to me over the years, I love you! I want to say to the child who has not yet been born, baby, Dad loves you! Finally, thank you to the college, thank you!"

The audience erupted in strong applause, and the guests rose up again to applaud, as well as cheers and whistles. Zhang Ran raised the trophy and chatted with Scorsese and Coppola as he walked backstage. As is customary, winners are asked to go backstage for photos and interviews.

In Lin'an's villa, Zhang Zhimin said with a smile: "Won another award, this kid is very powerful!" Huang Ying said proudly: "Of course, that's my son!" Zhang Jingchu touched her stomach and smiled: "Baby, do you hear me? Dad is talking to you! Dad said, he loves you!"

Zhang Ran came backstage, first was bombarded with talking flashlights, and then accepted questions from reporters.

Reporter No. 273, who was called by the host, stood up: "I'm a reporter from the Washington Post, first of all, congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Director for the second time." This is the second time you've won Best Director, how do you feel about winning the award?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "It's easier to participate in the Oscars this time, I hope to win the award last time, because I haven't won it yet, and the last time it was a Chinese film, the impact overseas is relatively small, and if I win the Oscar, more people will know." This time is different, because the box office of the movie is very good, there is no box office consideration, the mentality is more relaxed, if you can win the award, you will definitely be happy, you will not be angry if you can't get it, and there is no psychological pressure at all. But when I walked up to the stage, everyone got up and applauded, and I felt that my efforts were not in vain, and I was really happy. ”

Another reporter who was targeted stood up: "Hello Zhang Ran, I am a reporter from Le Figaro, first of all, congratulations on your award! What I want to ask is that you are only 36 years old, and you have already won two Oscars for Best Director." Do you have any expectations for your future career as a director?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said: "I just finished shooting my new movie, which is a 3D plus 60 frames movie, and in the process of shooting, I really feel the possibilities that technology brings to movies." I feel that now that film is on the eve of the coming big change, I feel that something is calling me, a new film language is calling, so I hope to explore more in film language and make more different films. ”

After answering a few questions, Zhang Ran was about to leave, when he suddenly looked at the big screen of the last Oscar winner Jean Dujardin opened the envelope in his hand, and he was going to present the Best Actress Award. Zhang Ran stopped and looked at the TV screen, waiting for the answer to be revealed, and all the reporters at the scene also quieted down, staring at the big screen.

Many reporters are thinking about the same question, this award is a contest between Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence, and it is also a contest between Summit Entertainment and Weinstein Pictures.
