Zhang Ran's participation in the Oscars is not because he has much hope for the Oscars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Ran is in charge of the preparatory work of the Asian Film Academy, and he has to finalize the selection of teachers. Alejandro Amamba, the director of "Deep Sea Sleep", is a very suitable candidate, Amamba has filmed "Island Cry" and participated in "Vanilla Sky", he is a director who can play with both business and literature, and Amamba is not a prolific director, his films are written and directed by himself, and it often takes several years to make one, and he has a lot of free time.

This year, Amamba will win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Deep Sea Sleep", and if he can be won over, it will greatly increase the popularity of the college.

However, Amamba's fame, Nortel's international influence is limited, and it is impossible to fire the ultra-high salary, coupled with the relatively backward Chinese film industry, this is very difficult. Anyway, Zhang Ran still wanted to try.

The Oscars were supposed to be American film awards, but this year, the enthusiasm of Chinese audiences even surpassed that of American audiences, because two Chinese films were shortlisted for the Oscars!

"Time Warrior" won two nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Editing, and "Aviator" won "Aviator" four nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Film Editing, and Best Director!

Both films are Zhang Ran's films, and they were shortlisted for the Oscars at the same time, which is a complete miracle for Chinese films. Both the media and netizens are full of praise, and all kinds of comments and gossip are flying around.

"The Oscars are about to be announced, Zhang Ran has a play!"

"Zhang Ran fought against Scorsese, China's "Aviator" fought the American "Aviator!"

Can "The Aviator" win the Oscar? Zhang Ran said that he looked at it with a normal heart. ”

"Zhang Ziyi served as a guest, and Zhang Ran made a low-key impact on the Oscars!"

Of course, while singing praises to Zhang Ran, the media and netizens criticized the General Administration and "Ambush on All Sides". "The Aviator" is such a good film, won the Golden Lion and won the Golden Ball, why can't it enter the eyes of the General Administration? "Ambush on All Sides" is so bad, why was it sent to the competition?

But to be honest, Zhang Ran's chances of winning the award are very slim, especially the Best Director Award, which is simply impossible. Of course, it is not completely without hope of winning awards, "Time and Space Warrior" won two nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Editing, of which the best visual effects has a good chance.

On February 27, US time, the much-anticipated 77 Oscars ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.

Reporters from all walks of life arrived early, and they all seized their advantageous geographical locations, set up their machines, took microphones, and their flashes were constantly flashing

Zhang Jingchu did not accompany her to attend the Oscars this time, and her cousin Zhang Jingxin wanted to be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts and came to Beiping. It is impossible for her cousin to leave her cousin at home alone, the little girl came to Peking for the first time, and she was not familiar with the place, so she was not at ease. Therefore, Zhang Ran attended the Oscars red carpet this time, without a female companion, alone.

The Oscars red carpet is divided into two channels, one is the star channel and the other is the guest channel. Walking the red carpet usually refers to the celebrity passage closer to the press gallery. This passage passes through the media area, which is convenient for celebrities to be interviewed and filmed by reporters, and is guided and organized by special personnel. The guest passage, which is far away from the press gallery, is on the outside of the star passage, without special guidance, and the area is larger, which can be described as crowded when entering, and the queue is relatively loose and casual.

Zhang Ran has no interest in the red carpet itself, and there is no need to increase exposure, and Zhang Jingchu is not there, so he walked through the guest channel in a very low-key manner.

The Chinese media waiting on both sides of the star aisle pounced, and when the red carpet was over, they didn't see Zhang Ran. The reporters looked at each other, what was going on? Zhang Ran wouldn't stop attending, would he?

At 7:30 p.m., the 77th Oscars kicked off.

Morgan Freeman won Best Supporting Actor and got "Million Dollar Baby" off to a flying start. Scorsese's "The Aviator" then won Best Costume Design. However, the next award for Best Original Song was a bit unexpected by Zhang Ran, and it turned out to be the Brazilian movie "Motorcycle Diaries"!"

In fact, Walter Sellers is also a good director, Zhang Ran has considered him, but he is the kind of director who is busy, and there are new films every year, either by himself or as a producer, so please don't move.

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi, dressed in a black suspender suit, walked onto the stage with Jack Gyllenhaal in his arms. This is the 26-year-old's first appearance on the Oscar stage, and she looks a little nervous: "Now we will present the award to the winner of the Best Visual Effects Award. ”

Among the nominees is John Dexter for Spider-Man 2. Jake Gyllenhaal continued, "Tim Burke for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Andy Jones for I, Robot, Lynn Cartwright for Time Warrior!"

Frankly speaking, Zhang Ran was a little nervous at this time, and he exhaled. It's a pity that Zhang Jingchu is not at hand, and there is no hand to hold.

"The winner was Lynn Cartwright of Time Warrior. ”

Zhang Ran let out a cheer, stood up and applauded vigorously. Although in Zhang Ran's heart, "Time and Space Warrior" is not as good as "Aviator", but "Time and Space Warrior" is also his child, condensing his hard work, and he is really happy to be able to win the award.

Countless viewers who stood in front of the computer and watched the live broadcast cheered. Although "Time and Space Warrior" is an English-language film, it is indeed a Chinese film. A Chinese film beat "Spider-Man 2", defeated "Harry Potter", and defeated "Me, Robot" to win the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, which was definitely a wild talk before!

Hundreds of employees who watched the live broadcast were thunderous, and Chen Ningyu even took out the streamers that had been prepared for a long time and sprayed them wildly, and the streamers flew all over the sky.

Lynn Cartwright walked onto the stage, received the trophy from Zhang Ziyi, and began to deliver her acceptance speech: "On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank the college for awarding us this award. I can't thank everyone enough, but I would like to thank the special effects team in China, the colleagues in the crew, and all the members of the crew. It's a crazy project. Thank you to Green Studios, thank you Europa Pictures, thank you Luc Besson. The most important thing is to thank Director Zhang Ran, he is a genius with unparalleled imagination and creativity, and it has been a wonderful trip to work with him! Thank you for entrusting us with such an important job! Thank you, thank you very much!"

The award ceremony continued, but in the next awards, "The Aviator" lost all, and the best cinematography, best art direction, and best film editing all lost to Scorsese's "The Aviator".

As time passed, the awards ceremony slowly came to an end, and the next award was the best director, and the guest of honor was Julia Roberts, a big-mouthed beauty who had just given birth to twins.

"First, let's take a look at this year's shortlist. Julia Roberts got to the point after a few opening remarks, "Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby, Martin Scorsese's The Aviator, Taylor Heckford's The Soul Singer, Alexander Penn's The Life of a Glass of Wine, Zhang Ran's The Aviator!"

The TV camera quickly swept over the five nominees, all of whom were smiling calmly and calmly.

"Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran!" On the sofa in front of the computer, Zhang Jingchu clasped her hands and prayed.

At the same time, the students of 01 Biaoben, as well as all those who supported Zhang Ran, were silently praying, hoping for a miracle to happen.

"The winner," Julia Roberts dragged her voice out, "Clint Eastwood, 'Million Dollar Baby'!"

The guests at the scene all stood up and applauded with all their might, blessing this 75-year-old man.

Zhang Ran knew that this was the result, and smiled and applauded.

Scorsese's face was very calm, but he was still a little lost in his heart, and he felt that his own movie at the Oscars might be out of play. Sure enough, in the final Best Picture competition, "The Aviator" also lost to "Million Dollar Baby", and Scorsese returned home again.

After the Best Picture was awarded, the Oscars ended.

"Time and Space Warrior" won the Best Visual Effects Award, and Zhang Ran did not return empty-handed, but was quite satisfied. In fact, for Chinese films, the best visual effects are more meaningful than the best director. The Best Director award is an individual award, and the best visual effects must be backed by a strong film industry.

Of course, the special effects of "Time and Space Warrior" are led by Australian companies, and Zhang Ran's Tiangong Chongcai is only a participant. However, he believes that this award will be a powerful boost to the domestic special effects industry, and Chinese filmmakers are not stupid than anyone else!

Similar to the Golden Globes, the awards ceremony is followed by a variety of big parties. In addition to the official party held after the Oscars, film companies, agencies, media, and related institutions are all vying to hold parties.

Zhang Ran mainly came to Amamba, and when he entered the party scene, he looked around to find where Amamba was.

"Mr. Zhang, it's a pity that "The Aviator" didn't win the award, this is the best movie I saw last year!" Just as Zhang Ran was looking at his brain, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Zhang Ran looked back and saw that it was Britney Spears, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here for a party!" Britney couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhang, what are you looking for?"

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "No, I'm looking for a man!" He saw Britney's strange face and explained: "I found the director of "Deep Sea Sleep" and has a job to discuss!"

Britney looked at Zhang Ran and said seriously: "In the script, girls want to sing, I've been thinking about songs these days, I wrote two songs, and it's very suitable to put them in the movie." Let's make an appointment and want you to hear it!"

At this moment, Zhang Ran saw Amamba, this guy was holding a little golden figure in his hand, and he was laughing with a beautiful woman.

"I'm sure it's going to be a good song!I've seen the person I'm looking for, I'll talk to you later!," Zhang Ran said, leaving Britney with a depressed face and walking quickly towards Amamba, "Alessandro!"

Amamba and Zhang Ran had conversations at the Venice and Golden Globe Awards receptions, and they both admired each other, and he saw Zhang Ran smile: "Haha, Zhang, I'm really glad that China didn't send "The Aviator", otherwise it might be you who won!"

Zhang Ran can see this, there will always be opportunities in the future, and smiled: "You can't say that." The judges of the Olympiad are a group of old men, and Jewishness, old age, and death are their favorite subjects. "Deep Sea Sleep" is about life and death, and the shooting is good, even if "The Aviator" participates, it is unpredictable! In fact, I came here this time to find you!"

Amamba was stunned: "What are you looking for me?"

Zhang Ran was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Recently, the three top film universities in Asia, Beiping Film Academy, Chung-Ang University in South Korea, and Nihon University, are preparing to jointly create an academy with Hollywood film industry standards as the teaching content, called Asian Film Academy, which will officially open in September next year." I am in charge of the establishment of this academy, and the teacher's question is very troublesome, I think you are a very suitable candidate, I wonder if you are interested?" )
