"The 89th Academy Awards Ceremony was held in Los Angeles, USA on the evening of the 26th, and 24 awards were announced. The Chinese film "Angel of Justice" directed by Zhang Ran won five awards including Best Picture and Best Actress, becoming the biggest winner." Although Zhang Zhiming and Huang Ying had watched the awards ceremony videos many times, at 7 o'clock, they were still sitting in front of the TV, watching "News Broadcast" and watching the reports of "Angel of Justice" by "News Broadcast".

The camera cut to the award ceremony, and Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu hugged each other with a smile. The host's voice continued: "The movie "The Angel of Justice" is adapted from three books, "Weiting Diary", "Rabe Diary", and "Zhang Chunru", and is composed of famous actors Zhang Jingchu and Amy Adams..."

The little girl in Huang Ying's arms saw Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu, patted her hands and shouted excitedly: "Dad! Dad!"

Zhang Ran has been on the "News Broadcast" many times, which is no longer new; however, as parents, Zhang Zhiming and Huang Ying saw their son and daughter-in-law come on stage to receive the award in "News Broadcast", and they are still extremely proud.

At the same time, the entire network is still in a boiling state. Since the end of the Oscar ceremony in the afternoon, the entire network has begun to boil. Various forums, post bars, online communities, social software, discussions about Zhang Ran and Oscars have reached unprecedented heights and have become hot topics for the whole nation.

On Weibo, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu, the Angel of Justice and the Oscar firmly dominated the top five on the hot search list; the number of interactive topics of "The Angel of Justice" and the Oscars has exceeded 10 billion.

"#Zhang Ran Tops Oscars#China's most outstanding director Zhang Ran won the 89th Academy Award for Best Director. Do you have anything to say to Director Zhang? Participate in interactive topics and win the extended collection of "Angel of Justice" Blu-ray DVD."

"I just checked it out that neither Antonioni nor Robert Altman had won the Oscars. Only Zhang Ran not only won the highest award at the three major film festivals, but also won the best film Oscar. Zhang Ran is the only director to achieve the highest award at the three major film festivals and the Oscars!"

"Wacao, that's the only Grand Slam in the world! This is too awesome!"

"No wonder everyone says that Zhang Ran is the number one director in the new millennium. It's really awesome. You can't accept it!"

"Since Zhang Ran's first movie "Prisoner of Time", he has swept all the awards around the world. So far, he has won all kinds of awards that can be won in the world. Do you think there are any important movie awards you haven't won?"

On the second day, North American and European media were filled with Oscar-related news. Unlike previous years, the focus of media reports this year was not to win the best film by Angel of Justice, but to the owl at the awards ceremony. However, different countries have different attitudes towards the owl. The United States and the United Kingdom reported in a normal state; while the French and German media were gloating.

In almost all reports, Zhang Ran's on-the-spot reaction was unanimously praised, and it was believed that Zhang Ran's awkward atmosphere was minimized through his humor. As some media exaggeratedly stated that Zhang Ran's reaction was better than host Jimmy Kimmel. His humor and on-the-spot reaction were impressive. Perhaps the Oscars should consider asking Zhang Ran to be the host of the Oscars.

The reason for the award ceremony was also clarified. The staff of PwC were busy posting messages on Fly when they gave the award presenter, so they gave the envelope wrong. PwC publicly apologized on Fly: "We sincerely apologized to "Angel of Justice" and "La La Land", Warren Beatty, Fee Donnaway and all the Oscar audiences for the mistakes in the announcement of the best film. The wrong envelope was given to the award presenter, and they corrected it immediately after discovering it. We are investigating why this happened and are very regretful about it. We are also grateful to the nominees, Academy, ABC and Director Zhang Ran for handling this situation appropriately."

Troubu, who was criticized by the host and guests for a night, seized this opportunity and fought back on fly: "This year's Oscar emphasizes politics too much and focuses on attacking me, which ended up not even getting the basic things done."

Shortly after Troubu posted the article, Zhang Ran received a text message from Ivanka: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for winning the award."

Zhang Ran knew that she was nominally congratulating herself, but in fact she was reminding herself to be trusted, so she immediately replied: "Don't worry!"

Oscars have an added bonus to the box office of the movie. If a film is nominated for the Best Picture of the Oscar, its box office can increase by about 30 million US dollars. If it wins an award, the box office revenue will increase by 30 million US dollars.

The day after the award of "Angel of Justice" won the award, the movie's release scale in North America quickly expanded from 2,134 halls to 2,879 halls. The movie's box office in North America was 67.32 million. Due to the Oscar Best Picture, the movie's final box office in North America should be able to exceed the $100 million mark.

Zhang Ran and the crew of "Angel of Justice" care about the box office of the movie, but they don't care about the money, and they will donate the final income of the movie. They hope that the more box office the movie, the better, because the higher the box office, the more people will watch the movie and the more people will know the truth about the Nanjing Massacre.

On this day, the crew of "Angel of Justice" received an email from the Japanese civil volunteer organization "Historical Facts Association". They hoped to organize "Angel of Justice" to be screened in Japan. Zhang Ran felt that this was a good thing and should be watched by young Japanese people to let them know what happened at the beginning, so he agreed to the request of the Historical Facts Association.

On this day, tspdt announced the latest rankings for 2017. In the director rankings, Zhang Ran rushed from 28th to 25th, surpassing Spielberg, surpassing Rossellini, and surpassing Kenji Mizuguchi; ahead of him were Eisenstein and Truffaut. Among Asian directors, Zhang Ran ranked third after Yasujiro Ozu and Akira Kurosawa.

In the movie ranking, Zhang Ran has four movies ranked among the top 1,000, among which "One Man Decoration" ranked the highest, ranking 25th, followed by "The Aviator" ranked 86, "The Future Apocalypse" ranked 197, and "The Scarlet Sun" ranked 564. "The Angel of Justice" has just been released, and the highest-quality extended version has not been officially released yet and has not yet entered the list, but those who have watched the extended version think it is a great movie, and it is only a matter of time before it is on the list.

Three days later, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu set off for the trip back to China with the Chinese staff of "Angel of Justice". After the private plane landed in Lin'an, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu and Zhao Fei waved goodbye and drove home. They had not been home for several months. They opened the door and looked at the familiar decorations in the house. Both of them had a bright smile like flowers.

Huang Ying was watching TV with the little girl in her arms. When she saw Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu being slightly stunned, she immediately said with a smile: "Zhang Ran, Jingchu, you are back! Why don't you say anything when you come back?"

Zhang Jingchu called out to mom; while Zhang Ran asked, "Mom, where is my dad?"

Huang Ying smiled and said, "He went out for a walk!" She lowered her head to the little girl in her arms and said, "Xiaoxiao, see who is back?"

When Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu entered the house, the little girl saw them, and a clear spring suddenly burst into her eyes. Now when she heard Huang Ying say this, she grinned and cried. When Huang Ying saw the little girl crying, she quickly picked her up and coaxed her gently: "Xiaoxiao, why are you crying? Don't cry or not! Did you see? Mom and Dad are back!"

Zhang Jingchu patted Zhang Ran’s arm: “Look, my daughter cried when she saw you. She must not know you anymore. She thought it was a strange uncle who ran to her house and was scared!”

Unexpectedly, as soon as this said, the little girl cried and stretched out her hand to Zhang Ran, and shouted aggrievedly: "Hold me."

Zhang Ran's heart melted instantly like a heated chocolate. He held the little girl in his arms, like holding a worth of 10,000 yuan porcelain, for fear of being broken, and said softly: "Don't cry or not! Dad hug! Dad hug!"

When Zhang Jingchu saw the little girl lying in Zhang Ran's arms with tears in her eyes, her little hands tightly facing Zhang Ran, as if she was afraid that he would run away, she cursed with a smile: "You are a little unscrupulous. Do you think your mother is spending more time with you, or your father is spending more time with you? When your mother and father come back together, you just need to hug her, not your mother!"

Seeing Zhang Jingchu's mouth full of sourness, Huang Ying comforted her with a smile: "Xiaoxiao not only misses her father, but also misses you. She calls her mother when she falls asleep at night." She looked at Zhang Jingchu, then Zhang Ran, and said seriously: "I want to say two of you. Movies and careers are very important, but children are more important. I read the book and said that it is particularly important to have parents accompanying her children in their growth, and parents are no longer around to their bad growth."

Zhang Ran kissed the little girl's face, "Trojan Horse!" and said to Huang Ying: "Don't worry, mom! I will be going back to school to teach in the next few years, and I will not be as busy as before. Just like you said, movies, career is important, but family is more important, and I want to spend more time with my family." He smiled at Zhang Jingchu and said: "When the Olympics, I told Jingchu that I would spend more time with my family when I was busy with the Olympics, but in the end I was still busy in the past few years. It's time to fulfill my promise."

Zhang Jingchu smiled and held Zhang Ran's hand and held it. Nothing is more important than family.

After filming "The Scarlet Sun", Zhang Ran felt that his talent had reached its limit. It was impossible to make three movies that surpassed "One Person's Lights and Decoration", "The Future Apocalypse" and "The Scarlet Sun". "The Angel of Justice" is very good in all aspects, and has achieved a perfect level of use of cameras, editing, and audio-visual language, but Zhang Ran, who has always been innovative and breakthrough, has almost no breakthrough in this movie.

Zhang Ran has already exhausted himself, and his talent has really reached its limit. If you continue shooting, you can only repeat yourself. For a director who has aspirations, it is meaningless to make such a movie.

This situation is not only Zhang Ran, but Ang Lee also met. Ang Lee is not a director who is good at technology, nor is it technical control. But starting from "Pi", Ang Lee played with technology. Especially the failure of "Midfield War", many people don't understand why Ang Lee, who is not good at technology, suddenly became stubborn about new technologies. In fact, the reason is very simple. Ang Lee has no chance of making any breakthroughs in the story, audio-visual language, and art. As a filmmaker with pursuit, Ang Lee is very unwilling to accept this, and the only thing he can make a breakthrough is in new technologies.

Zhang Ran’s direction of innovation and breakthrough is VR movies, but since it is a test piece, it will not be done in one go like in the past movies. Instead, it is a little more inspirational and more inspirational. To finish the movie, it will take at least four or five years, or at most ten years. Anyway, he is not in a hurry. VR is a new thing, take it slowly!

However, Zhang Ran is full of confidence in VR and VR movies. He believes that VR technology will allow China to overtake the curve, and VR movies will become a film language created by the Chinese. He is full of confidence in this!
