At the 71st Academy Awards, a work called "Life is Beautiful" detonated all the spotlight, this work did not even receive a single nomination at the Golden Globe Awards, but it was born above the Oscars, including seven nominations, and won the best actor, best soundtrack and best foreign language film.

At the 72nd Academy Awards, a work called "American Beauty" was born, which swept the best picture, best director, best original screenplay, best actor, best cinematography and other five small golden figures, becoming the biggest winner. Two fledgling names shine on the screen – this is Sam Mendes' directorial debut and Alan Ball's screenwriting debut.

This also makes Sam the sixth director in film history to win the Oscar for Best Director for his debut film.

At the 76th Academy Awards, a work called "City of God" won a lot of attention, and after winning the two Golden Figures for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography under the absolute strength of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Return of the King", it pulled out its teeth and snatched the Best Adapted Screenplay Award directly from its competitors, and amazed everyone with its proud posture.

"City of God" is Lance's first official work as a director and screenwriter.

Lance and Hayden stood side by side in the standby room, watching the stage on the big screen, but when Sophia said the name of the winner, Lance's first reaction was to look at the big screen and give Peter Jackson a round of applause - Lance clearly remembers that the last "Return of the King" won the award for best adapted screenplay.

To be precise, in the previous life, "The Return of the King" nominated eleven small golden figures, but the trajectory of this life has changed slightly, and "The Return of the King" won twelve nominations. Even though there were discrepancies in the details, Lance knew one thing: he wanted to win his own glory, but he didn't take it lightly. Tonight belongs to the "Return of the King". There is no doubt that the 45 million spectators were there to witness the ascent of the "Return of the King".

But then, Lance didn't see Peter Jackson on the big screen, but saw the scene in the standby room. He and Hayden stood side by side, Hayden opened his mouth slightly and couldn't close at all, while he stood next to him and clapped with a smile, revealing a dazed look in the depths of his eyes that others could not detect.

What's going on here?

Lance's brain went blank for about a second. Then everyone in the waiting room turned to them and gave themselves a round of applause. "I won the prize?" This idea suddenly jumped into Lance's mind, like an electric current, jumping directly from the soles of his feet to his head, making the whole person shiver.

Lance is a person full of self-confidence, and the years of tempering have made him clearly understand that self-confidence is one of the necessary conditions for success, and even he doesn't believe that he can achieve success, so who can believe it? But in fact, deep down, the loneliness and frustration of the two lives have brought too much reality. The cruel and cold reality makes Lance's self-confidence like a duck paddling water, and the apparent composure is just to hide the hard work of paddling underwater.

Winning the Best Foreign Language Film award is the best reward for Reims, which is the highest affirmation and motivation for his future work; Winning the Best Cinematography award was a surprise, and Hayden's victory was more of an additional compliment to their hard work...... Lance is confident, but not arrogant, and he doesn't think he can win a third statuette.

But, the third little golden man came. Three nominations in a row, three trophies in a row. "City of God" shows the most dazzling posture of a dark horse, like the ocean biscuit in the "Galloping Age", with an inspiring momentum on the stage of the Kodak Theater, leaving its own heroic posture.

Rumble!

The TV screen is already completely fried. Emerson jumped up from the couch as if he had been on a rocket, then clenched his hands into fists and shouted frantically at the television, "Ahhhh I sued you! I sued you! ”

Andy couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, and stood up and waved his fist a few times. But the excitement in my heart was stuck in my chest like this, and I couldn't go up or down. He didn't understand why he was so excited, because he hadn't seen the "City of God" at all, but at this moment, he was simply happy for Lancelot, nothing more.

Looking at the friends who were running around the room to celebrate, the smile on Andy's lips couldn't help but bloom, and when he turned his head, he saw Lily sitting quietly on the sofa, with tears in her eyes, and the joy and emotion in the tears were like starlight, bright and moving. Andy couldn't help but turn his head again, looked at the TV screen, and slowly fell silent.

"Lance! Reims! Reims! Hayden was so excited that he couldn't help himself, so he hugged Andy directly, and then kept jumping up and down, driving Andy to stand unsteadily, and panicked. We, we, we! Hayden shouted speechlessly, unable to even articulate a complete sentence, only fragments of words by word.

Lance only felt that he was suffocated for a moment, and the heat rushed to his chest, and the intricacies of emotions made him a little at a loss.

At this moment, put aside the deep hatred of Diorama Pictures, the long-term development of Chaos Pictures, the bitter entanglement of personal grievances, and the strategy of putting interests first...... He's just Lancelot-Strello, he's just a movie lover who loves movies, loves movies, and focuses on movies, he's just a producer who focuses on shooting a work wholeheartedly, he's just a director who is eager to shoot a director who resonates with the audience's thoughts, he's just an ordinary person who dreams because of love, insists because of his dreams, and comes here because of persistence...... He's Li Jin, he's Strello, he's just Lancelot.

It's not about Ryan Kavalauger, it's not about Diorama Pictures, it's not about Chaos Pictures, it's not even about the Oscars, it's just about a dream, a dream that has lasted for three lives. What a ridiculous, stupid, and childish dream, but he held on stupidly for so long, so long that it seemed that he had forgotten the original www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion, and then staggered all the way here. But, he was very happy. He persevered, like a hopeless fool.

"Lance, please come up to the stage to receive the award." The master of ceremonies walked over and led Lance onto the stage.

Lance patted Hayden the back. Then he followed behind the master of ceremonies and took a step. Hayden stood behind, his hands held high, clapping vigorously above his head, and his mouth screaming with great excitement. Make the standby room look like a circus.

When he came to the side stage, Lance did not immediately walk on the stage, but stopped and watched the master of ceremonies walk onto the stage. Lance stood in place, seriously looked at the stage in front of him again, his eyes suddenly warmed, and the extreme emotion made all the control force shatter in an instant, he lowered his head wolfly, quickly wiped the water from the corner of his eyes with his palm, and took a deep breath. Calm yourself down.

This is his moment!

The master of ceremonies stopped, because she finally realized that the person behind her was lost, she turned her head in a little panic, and then she saw the faint figure under the light, the fleeting fragility almost made her think she was dazzled. Immediately afterward, she saw the figure straighten her waist again, straighten the hem of her suit, and then take a step forward and walk onto the stage step by step, one footprint. Another footprint, more and more determined.

Lance took the stage.

Albert was the first to stand up, clapping with all his strength, all the excitement and excitement in his heart condensed into the palm of his hand. He doesn't care what others think or think, he just wants to celebrate this moment to the fullest, this is the moment that belongs to Reims; Immediately afterwards, Alexander, Philip, and Suo also stood up, and the entire "City of God" crew also stood up, excitedly agitating their hands. Alexander was already crying at this point, and even he didn't know what was going on, and the tears couldn't stop falling......

Percy, who was unable to enter the theater in the outfield, watched as Lance took a steady step towards the center of the stage, and then the guests stood up one after another, more and more, more and more, almost more than half of the guests stood up, this was the first time that the three statuettes in the "City of God" won a standing ovation tonight. Looking at the crowd of black presses, Percy could no longer hold back the surging in his heart, and hid in the corner to hide the hot tears in his eyes......

Only those who have really participated in the "City of God" know how much hard work they have gone through, even hanging their heads on their trouser belts, dancing on high ropes, and at any time they may confess their lives to that yellow earth and never come back; Only those who have actually participated in the "City of God" know how much effort Lance put into this film, from script to shooting, from cinematography to scheduling, from acting to control, during those days in Rio de Janeiro, Lance barely slept peacefully......

Now, at last, it's time to harvest, it's the time that belongs to the "City of God", and it's the moment that belongs to Reims.

Sean Penn stood up, Charlize Theron stood up, Tim Robbins stood up, and Susan Sarandon stood up...... Then there was Clint Eastwood, Peter Weir...... Even Peter Jackson couldn't help but stir his hands and slowly stood up.

Who could have imagined a Portuguese-language work, a directorial debut, a work that cost only three million dollars, a work that could barely find a distributor during the publicity phase, a work that was wiped out in the middle of the awards season, and a work that survived the many awards season hits...... stood tenaciously on the stage of the Oscars, and relied on solid quality and extraordinary talent to win the best foreign language film, the best cinematography, and the best adapted screenplay!

Most importantly, breaking the monopoly of "Return of the King" became the Achilles heel of Peter Jackson to further make history tonight.

Who, can imagine? (To be continued.) )
