Emerson Carter sat tense in front of the TV, watching the 76th Academy Awards, when Charlize opened the red envelope, his heart was so tight that he could barely breathe, and then a name came from the TV, and before Emerson could react, Lily Carter, who was sitting next to him, screamed directly, "Ah! Ahhh ”

Emerson then reacted as well, and "City of God" won the award for Best Foreign Language Film! One of his favorite works of 2003 won the Golden Man Award! He clenched his fists and swung them vigorously, his face glowing with joy to the extreme, and he stood up in a hurry, his eyes wandering around the room without focus, and he just shouted loudly and selflessly, "I knew it! I knew it! ”

Andy Isaac walked over to the porch and knocked on the door, "Brother? But without waiting for a response, but waiting for a scream, Andy opened the door directly, rushed in, and nervously raised his voice to ask, "What's wrong?" ”

However, the imaginary danger did not appear, and he only saw the twin siblings running wildly, as if the Indians were performing sacrifices, dancing obscure and incomprehensible dance steps, which made people jaw-dropping. Then, Andy saw Emerson and Lily hugging each other directly, slapping each other's backs hard, and screaming uncontrollably, which made Andy choke speechlessly and couldn't help laughing.

But immediately, Emerson and Lily discovered each other's movements, and both of them pushed each other away in disgust, and the passionate feelings finally settled down.

Emerson turned his head, and then saw Andy who was stunned, he suddenly began to get excited again, rushed over and gave Andy a hug, "I know!" Win! Win! ”

A thoughtless remark made Andy completely confused, "What wins?" ”

"Lancelot! Lancelot! Emerson shook Andy vigorously, then gave Andy a hug in great excitement, and did not forget to turn around and wave his fist at Lily.

"The director you're talking about?" Andy has never had any interest in the "City of God", so he also seems to be in a state of interest, but he is stunned. Andy's mouth opened wide in surprise, "That director defeated the 'Lord of the Rings'?" ”

Andy's response caused Emerson and Lily both to roll their eyes speechlessly at the same time, and Andy felt Sensen's malice, and he could only spread his hands innocently. Lily explained. "It's the best foreign language film."

Andy followed Lily's gaze to the TV screen, and then saw the man in the black suit taking a calm step, elegantly and gentlemanly buttoning the only button of the blazer, and stepping onto the stage, the low-key and simple black to the extreme, but uninhibited and wanton rendering. Sketching a touch of noble and classical temperament, like the aristocracy of the Victorian era, through the time and space tunnel, crossing the time and time to the modern era without hurry, the flow of time has left an indelible and breathtaking trace on him.

At this moment, it was as if time and space had fallen into a standstill.

The man walked to Charlize's side, with a casual and chic smile on his face, the milky yellow light softly and delicately outlined every detail of the man's face, and the halo faded along his eyebrows little by little, like a drop of thick ink falling into the clear water. The charm that penetrates into the soul is suffocating between gestures, and I can't help but begin to marvel at how miraculous the Creator is.

Andy was a little stunned for a moment, looking at the big screen in disbelief, his attention was involuntarily attracted by the screen, and then he heard Lance's first acceptance speech, and the laughter overflowed before his brain could react, which made Andy startled, he quickly went to look at Emerson and Lily, only to find that they had also diverted their attention at this time. He laughed out loud.

Andy let out a slight breath, looked at the TV screen again, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "He's the director?" ”

Lily heard this. Nodding with a chuckle, "The charm is simply unstoppable, right?" If you watch his work, you will be completely impressed by him. ”

At this moment, it's not just Emerson and Lily, it's not just Andy – February 1, 2004. A total of more than 45 million viewers across the United States tuned in to watch the support of the Oscars, looking forward to witnessing the strong ascent of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King", which is also the highest rating since "Titanic" topped the Oscars in 1998; However, at this moment, 45 million viewers witnessed Reims' first appearance.

The audience who missed the red carpet before, the audience who missed Reims flashing in front of everyone, the audience who missed the "Tonight Show", the audience who missed the "City of God" before...... At this moment, I finally concentrated my attention and deeply remembered this talented writer and director with an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

It's hard to imagine that black, which has always been low-key, can be so flamboyant!

Andy's first reaction was, such a Lance is actually an excellent director? So what is the style of the work directed by such a director? For the first time, he really became interested in "City of God"! And Andy is definitely not alone, compared to the box office of the "City of God", the audience of the Oscars at this moment is obviously much larger.

This reminds people of Paul Thomas Anderson, the same talented, the same handsome, the same blockbuster, the same tough and uninhibited, the same flamboyant and chic...... It's just that, compared to Paul, Lance is obviously more "lucky", and on his first Oscar journey, he won a little gold man - now looking back, the identity of the foreign language film of "City of God" is a blessing and a blessing and a blessing.

At this moment, the name "Lancelot-Strello" was truly famous. It's just hard to say whether it's because of the "City of God", or because of this little golden man, or because of ...... The indescribable charm.

45 million people, witness the greatness of this moment!

"Is 'City of God' still being screened?" Andy turned to look at Emerson and asked curiously.

The heat of the crowd made Lance's mood boil a little, and the focus used in all directions merged in the scorching light, the blood involuntarily began to heat up slowly, and the outburst of adrenaline made the muscles begin to tense gradually. Lance can even clearly feel that at this moment, tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV are watching him, and this weight is ...... It's exciting!

"I'm sorry, I'm trying to see if this trophy is a toy or not." Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his head and sighed into the microphone, and the scene couldn't help but think of a light laugh again, but Lance didn't show a smile, and still said calmly, "Standing on this stage as a representative of Brazil, it doesn't seem appropriate to use English, I should have said a few words of thanks in Portuguese, but considering my Portuguese proficiency, I think I should not ruin everyone's excellent impression of the 'City of God'." ”

Flutter, many guests at the scene couldn't hold back for a while, and they all laughed. If Lance didn't say it, everyone hadn't noticed it, but as soon as Lance mentioned it at this time, the black humor brought by that sense of disobedience came to his face, which really made people laugh.

"When I first made this film, I simply wanted to show people a completely different world, a world that thought we were far away, but in fact it was all around us. For example, the place where the current latitude is about 30 degrees north latitude and 40 degrees east longitude is also a completely different world. Lance's words were very fluent, and he said it casually, and the scene did not react for a while, and when Lance spoke again, someone at the scene suddenly reacted, Lance was hinting at Iraq, and someone immediately stood up and whistled.

Everyone couldn't help but look over, and the one who stood up was Sean Penn, the biggest favorite for this year's actor.

Lance nodded at Sean, and continued, "But the effect presented far exceeded my expectations, I must first thank the young actors who have no acting experience, Alexander, Philip, and Sow came to the scene today as representatives, and ......" The scene camera immediately reached the three black actors, and the applause at the scene rang out instantly, interrupting Lance's words, and the three of them all looked a little cramped and uneasy, and they still didn't seem to be comfortable being exposed to so much sight, "And the actors who couldn't come to the scene, thank you for your dedication to giving this movie a meaning that even I didn't expect."

"What I want to say is that our lives are not necessarily the best, but they are not necessarily the worst, and if we keep going with a belief and steadfastly, we may find that there are different exits in life." Lance's calm voice had an indescribable contagion, which made all the guests at the scene can't help but cast their eyes on him, but just when people thought that Lance would continue to say something, Lance showed a smile, "Finally, thank you to the crew members of the 'City of God', Donald, Aaron, Hayden, Albert, Ethan...... "A whole eight names - seven crew members plus Aaron, who did not go to Brazil, except for Lance himself, Lance smiled self-deprecatingly," I'm pretty sure I didn't miss it, that's all of us on the crew, thank you for your hard work and dedication. ”

Without waiting for the guests to feel the shock in their hearts, Lance said again, "And my family, who have always stood behind me and supported me unconditionally." Lance looked at the camera lens in front of him, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated, just nodded, and then took a step back and turned to leave.

In this sleepless night, the world remembers a director named Lancelot Strello. (To be continued.) )
