After the Oscar ceremony, the three major news agencies immediately reported on the winning situation and commented on Zhang Ran's award. The Associated Press's title was: "Zhang Ran won the Oscar for Best Director, rewrites the history of foreign language films."

The article states that 29 Oscars have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director for foreign language films, but none of them have succeeded, including the Japanese film master Akira Kurosawa who has been in the film industry for 50 years. In 1975, Kurosawa won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Desu Uzara" and was nominated for Best Director for "Ran" in 1985, but ultimately lost. Zhang Ran won the Best Director Award for Foreign Language Film for foreign language films, which is not only unprecedented, but also makes latecomers far behind.

Immediately afterwards, abc, bbc and other media reported in detail the Oscar winning situation on their official websites, and the headlines of the entertainment version of major domestic portals were quickly changed to "Zhang Ran won the Oscar for Best Director Award".

According to preliminary statistics from Nelson's ratings survey, the awards ceremony hosted by Anne Hathaway and James Franco this year was 3 hours long and had a rating of 24.6%. Although it was not as good as the ratings last year, it was better than the 2008 and 2009 Oscars broadcasts. Looking at the Oscars in the past 10 years, the ratings this year were ranked fourth lowest. However, the online click-through rate has set an unprecedented historical record, especially in China, more than 30 million viewers watched the awards ceremony online.

According to the procedure, after the award ceremony, 1,500 people including Oscar winners, nominees, award presenters, etc. will be invited to the venue to attend a celebration dinner called "Governor's Dinner". In recent years, Chinese-style cuisine has been very popular with celebrities. In addition, a Chinese film has received multiple nominations this year, especially jade rice is introduced from China, with lobsters and king crabs seasoned with Chinese sauces, including fried dumplings, Shanghai lobsters and other Chinese delicacies, so that the guests at the dinner can enjoy the food.

There were 1,500 guests in the spacious banquet hall, some chatting and laughing, some blooming, some drowning their sorrows by drinking, and some chatting in secret; while Zhang Ran kept dealing with the people coming to congratulate.

In fact, Zhang Ran wanted to eat something. After all, he had to wait until now since 2:00 pm and was a little hungry, but because he won the Best Director Award and made history, people kept coming to congratulate him and had no time to eat.

"Hey, boy, you did a great job! This movie is really great, it is the perfect use of multi-part montage. You are so rich now, it seems that some people say you are the richest man in the world! You should try more experimental movies, and don't waste his talent like Lucas!" As soon as Ang Lee left, Zhang Ran picked up a fried dumpling and was about to start eating, Coppola came over again.

"I make money to be able to make movies freely. The initial plan for the movie "Future Apocalypse" I made a few months ago was to cost 200 million US dollars, but I spent 350 million US dollars, but I am most satisfied with the effect. If I were just an ordinary director, it would be impossible to complete it." Zhang Ran could only put down the dumplings in his hand and started chatting with Coppola.

"You are so rich and have the heart to pursue movies. In the world of movies, you will go further than us!" Coppola was a little envious of Zhang Ran. If he had Zhang Ran so good at making money, he should be able to go further.

"The world of movies has no end. We are always students and always on the road!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

After chatting about their new films and plans for a while, Coppola left; the hungry Zhang Ran picked up the fried dumplings and prepared to eat them, but unexpectedly, Darren Aronovsky came over again, and he had to put the fried dumplings down again.

Zhang Ran once saw an insider book about "Vanity Fair". Oscars are extremely luxurious and expensive, but celebrities can't eat enough. Top celebrities dare not eat anything in public to avoid being photographed when their mouths are stuffed with food. Think about it, Brad Pitt holds sausage in his mouth, Nicole Kidman is eating cucumbers, and Natalie Portman has a leaf of vegetable on his teeth. What would happen if he was on the cover of the media?

For celebrities who always pay attention to their image, taking pictures of their mouths of food is as bad as taking pictures of their toilets. So, they all endured it desperately until after leaving the dinner, a long limousine would park in front of a drive-in McDonald's car restaurant. Behind the dark car glass, Hollywood stars were chewing on the giant burger.

After Ang Lee won the Little Golden Man with "Youth Pi" in 2013, the media photographed him holding the Little Golden Man in one hand and gnawing the hamburger on the side of the road. Of course, Ang Lee did not dare to eat at the banquet to ensure his image, but as the newly won director, everyone took turns to bless him and had no chance to eat.

Today, Zhang Ran felt deeply about Ang Lee’s feelings. From the beginning to the end of the dinner party, he had a stomach full of champagne in addition to eating only a few fried dumplings. He began to think about whether to buy a hamburger to eat after he went out!

The governor's dinner is just an appetizer for Oscar Night. The end of the dinner means that the carnival night officially kicks off. On this night, there are various parties. Film companies hold parties mainly for the company's winning movies; the parties held by the agency will be mainly artists of their own companies, such as Caa and other four major agency parties, which are definitely star-studded; entertainment and fashion media will also hold their own parties, such as Vanity Fair and Instyle will hold parties on the same day of the Oscars. Vanity Fair can basically attract all the winners of that year and Hollywood celebrities, and will also invite big shots from film companies to attend; some public welfare organizations will also take this opportunity to hold parties, and Elton John's AIDS Foundation will hold parties after the Oscar ceremony every year; of course, there are still some private parties that cannot be humanely spoken to outsiders.

Most of these parties are sold to the public and can enter the market with money or donations. The industry has been formed and is a part of the entire Oscar economy.

The most sought after and hottest among all parties is undoubtedly the Vanity Fair party, which has reached a level of popularity that everyone knows. Almost all Oscar nominees will attend on the night of the awards ceremony, whether winners or losers will appear on stage to show off. Even many big stars who have not visited the Oscar red carpet will also appear at the party location.

In the past three or four years, Zhang Ran has received invitations from "Vanity Fair" every year, but he has never been there. This year, while sending an invitation letter, he also mailed him a gift, a red director's chair with the words "Vanity Fair" written on the back of the chair, but Zhang Ran still did not go. It was not that he did not give face, but that Tingfeng Entertainment has its own celebration party.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu took their parents to the governor's dinner, sent them back to the room of the Four Seasons Hotel, and then rushed to the scene of the Peak Entertainment Celebration Banquet. At this time, there were not many people in the party hall. The party at "Vanity Fair" at Sunset Tower was so attractive. Big stars and many winners would rush over at the first time, so there were often times the embarrassment that the protagonists at the film company's celebration banquet did not appear. At least the starring actors of the two films of the Peak of the Century, except for Natalie Portman, who was full of belly and was inconvenient to attend, everyone else arrived.

For Zhang Ran, it is also beneficial to the few people present, at least no one disturbed his food. He quickly took the plate, picked up a bunch of food, and found a quiet place to eat.

Seeing Zhang Ran reincarnated like a starving ghost, Hu Jun kept stuffing things into his mouth and said curiously: "The things from the celebration banquet just now tasted good, why didn't you eat more?"

Zhang Ran's mouth was stuffed with lobsters and said in an ambiguous tone: "Hundreds of people come to say hello to me. Do you think I have something to eat organically?"

Hu Jun laughed: "Who made you a big director? This is the trouble of being a celebrity!" Seeing that Zhang Ran was so funny about the things wrapped in his mouth, he quickly took out his phone: "This look is pretty good!"

Zhang Ran is not as afraid of being photographed with food all over the mouth like Hollywood stars. How can directors care about their image? What's more, China is a country of foodies. The more you can eat, the more you will feel that you are close to you. However, he still deliberately threatened: "Don't send it randomly, don't affect my glorious image!"

Hu Jun smiled and said, "Even gods have to poop and eat!"

Zhang Ran said angrily: "You guy is so hateful, you deliberately don't let me eat, right?"

Before Hu Jun and Hu Jun answered, a noise suddenly came from the door. Leonardo and the crew of "Inception" arrived. No one expected that the crew of "Inception" would come so early. They were overjoyed, so many people surrounded them and greeted them.

Leonardo met Zhang Ran, and after entering the field, he ignored everyone else and went straight to Zhang Ran who was still eating hard, and greeted him with a smile: "Congratulations, Zhang!"

Zhang Ran was also a little surprised. The crew of "Inception" should go to Warner Bros. or to the "Vanity Fair" party first. Why did we come here first? But others can come here as soon as possible to give themselves face. He reluctantly put down the fork in his hand and smiled: "Thank you! Leo, I'm so happy to see you!"

Leonardo sincerely exclaimed: "I like "One Man's Lights and Decoration". Although the story is a Chinese story, I feel that I resonate with the characters in it and feel that I am indeed living in an indifferent society. I especially like the ending of the movie, which is the most clever film art. When "Ode to Joy" sounded, my tears fell out. Such an ending is the best ending I have ever seen. How did you come up with it?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "My movies are often re-shooted, and sometimes they are repeatedly shot because they are always difficult to satisfy, and new ideas are always coming up. They are always constantly modified during shooting, and this ending is constantly modified."

Leonardo was a little regretful for his rejection of "The Apocalypse". At that time, he felt that the characters were too thin and were too challenging for him, so he gave up. After watching "One Man's Lights and Decoration", he realized that Zhang Ran was the kind of director who could make a wonderful filming of a not particularly complicated story, and at the same time he could deeply explore the connotation of the characters and the story. Now after listening to Zhang Ran's words, Leonardo was more convinced of this. He looked at Zhang Ran and said seriously: "I hope I can cooperate in the future!"

Of course, Zhang Ran would not hold a grudge just because Leonardo refused to "The Apocalypse of the Future". This is very normal in Hollywood. Every director will encounter it and smiled and said, "Of course, I appreciate your acting skills very much!"

Leonardo laughed at this. He was quite confident in his acting skills and said easily: "If it was a movie like "One Man's Lights and Decoration", I would be willing to charge according to the union's minimum wage standard!"
