The audience was very quiet at first, knowing that Lin Mu and Francis Ford Coppola walked down the front stage hand in hand, and then the audience erupted in overwhelming applause, and everyone stood up to show respect for Lin Mu's speech. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Despite stepping down with Lin Mu, Francis Ford Coppola knew that these warm applause were not given to him, and Lin Mu was destined to be the protagonist of the night. Such a touching speech, such a warm applause, this situation, Francis Ford Coppola has not seen it at the Oscars for a long time. Looking at the high-spirited woods, he had no doubt that Paramount would usher in new glory in the hands of the trees. Francis Ford Coppola suddenly had a sense of age, his seat was a little behind, but he stopped the woods before he could return to his seat.

"Mr. Coppola, is there anything wrong with you?" Lin Mu, who had just finished hugging Frank Durabont and other crew members, found Francis Ford Coppola still standing aside.

"I have a newly repaired castle in the Napa Valley of California, with ripe Italian Rubicon red wines and fine Cuban Montecristo cigars, and of course my hospitable host, if you have time, I would love to invite you to my little castle to sit down!" Francis Ford Coppola extended a warm invitation to the woods.

"I feel very honored to be able to meet a senior like you today, even if you didn't invite me, I will definitely visit you in person!" Lin Mu actually wanted to invite Francis Ford Coppola out of the mountain, but the award ceremony continued, and the two tacitly smiled at each other and returned to their seats.

This year's Oscar for Best Screenplay was won by Jane Campion's "The Piano Lesson", and the winner of Best Director will be announced soon, Frank Durabont is obviously a little unable to sit still, although the film "The Shawshank Redemption" has won him a huge reputation, but what he needs most is to be recognized by the Oscar, which is the common dream of every Hollywood director! Lin Mu could understand Frank Durabont's mood at this time, but he couldn't find any suitable words to comfort his old friend sitting next to him. For Frank Durabont, an Oscar-worthy golden talent is the best consolation. In fact, the Oscars also gave Frank Durabont this comfort, but shouted "Frank Durabont!" from the mouth of the award presenter. Frank Durabont could no longer contain the excitement in his heart. He got up and hugged the people around him warmly, and tears of excitement could already be faintly seen in the corners of his eyes. Perhaps because of the excitement, Frank Durabont's acceptance speech on stage was a bit incoherent, but all the audience congratulated him with applause.

Best Supporting Actress was won by Anna Pachan in "The Piano Lesson", while Morgan Freeman won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for her wonderful performance in "The Shawshank Redemption", and Holly Hunter, the actress in "The Piano Lesson", became the actress of this year's Oscars.

The awards ceremony continued, and Lin Mu stepped into the front stage for the second time, but this time he was the guest of honor for Best Actor.

If I'm not mistaken, this is your first time presenting an Oscar! Can you talk about the difference between standing on the stage now and standing on the stage as an award-winning person before? The moderator asked.

"I can take home my own trophy, but now this trophy is going to be taken home by someone else!" Lin Mu's answer looked helpless, "In a certain Oscar in the future, I can win two trophies at the same time, which is my biggest personal ambition at present!" ”

"That's a really cool idea!" The host nodded, these words may seem a little arrogant from the mouths of others, but from the perspective of Lin Mu, a genius who has won three consecutive Oscars for Best Adapted Screenplay, it seems that nothing is impossible for him. "The audience can't wait, let's find out the winners!"

Lin Mu was still a little nervous at this time, he could be confident in his script, but he couldn't guarantee that Tim Robbins would win this award, because he still faced this strong opponent, Tom Hanks's performance in the film "Philadelphia" was equally good. Subjective factors aside, in fact, even Lin Mu himself could not make a judgment on the merits of the two, so he could not judge with certainty what choice the Oscar jury would make.

At the urging of the host, Lin Mu opened the envelope, he was slightly stunned, this result was not unexpected by him, and it was also reasonable, he just felt sorry for the other actor, because only one person could walk off the stage with a smile today, and this person was not Tom Hanks.

"Congratulations to Mr. Tim Robbins for the film "The Shawshank Redemption"!" Announcing the results loudly, Lin Mu stepped forward and hugged Tim Robbins, but didn't forget to shake hands with Tom Hanks. "I'm sorry, but Mr. Hanks' performance in Philadelphia was truly wonderful!" Lin Mu tried to comfort Tom Hanks, who didn't win the award this time.

"Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Tim Robbins performed even better in "The Shawshank Redemption", and I don't have any complaints about losing under the character image created by Mr. Robbins, I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again!" Tom Hanks previously collaborated with Lin Mu in "Forrest Gump", and it was that film that established Tom Hanks' status among Hollywood male movie stars. So Tom Hanks's words are not intended to compliment, but a heartfelt affirmation of Lin Mu.

Tom Hanks walked off the stage to a round of applause from the audience, but the warmest applause was reserved for the winner, Tim Robbins raised the little gold man in his hand and enjoyed the tsunami of applause. Oscar was crowned emperor, and finally fulfilled his Hollywood dream!

Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Actor all won "The Shawshank Redemption", so the Oscar evaluation committee didn't mind giving the Best Picture honor to this team, and the film "The Shawshank Redemption" became the biggest winner of this Oscar!

Naturally, this topic became the object of scramble in the American media the next day, and Lin Mu, who set two Oscar records in succession, was the focus of attention. And all this hustle and bustle has nothing to do with the woods, because he is now a guest at the home of Francis Ford Coppola.

The pot-bellied director of The Godfather proudly ushered guests into his newly repaired castle in California's Napa Valley, first through a cool wine cellar stocked with his ripe Italian Rubicon red wine in oak barrels; Then enter a small film museum, where copies of his films are stored, and a huge writing desk of the "godfather"; The unique gift room is stocked with expensive Coppola T-shirts, Coppola noodles, Coppola olive oil, Coppola cigars, but there are almost no Coppola wines, which are in short supply and can only be bought by each buyer one bottle per year.

Francis Ford Coppola himself is a lover of good food and can eat a plate of oysters or a chunk of tuna sashimi so fast that anyone at the table can barely eat it. He told Lin Mu that his castle had been completed after three years of repair, and that he had celebrated it with a grand celebration. How much it cost to renovate the 127-year-old castle is unknown. But as Francis Ford Coppola did, everything could have been overspent on budget. Lin Mu learned from him that just to decorate the stairwell with tropical wood, Francis Ford Coppola spent more than a year carving it with four craftsmen.

Francis Ford Coppola, a little slightly out of breath and a very thick cigar in his mouth, finally opened the door to his chamber. It is an air-conditioned room with an air humidity of 60% and a constant temperature of 22C at all times. Cuban Montecristo cigars, which are banned in the United States, are preserved here.

"I was born into a family of artists. It has always been my dream to have artists gather around me, cook for them, pour them wine, enjoy life with them and make grand plans together. Coppola described himself as a Napoleonic Baroque marquis who had been dragged into the digital age, but Lin Mu had heard George Lucas say of his friend, whom he considered to be a megalomaniac: "Francis is the guy who made people build the Vatican or the pyramids." ”

Although he suffered setbacks in the 80s, and the third step of "The Godfather" released in 1990 barely regained some of his former glory, it has to be said that this once famous Hollywood director seems to have come to the end of his directorial career. This can be clearly felt from Lin Mu's conversation with him, but Francis Ford Coppola himself still feels good, if it weren't for Lin Mu's three successive Oscar awards, and almost all of the scripts he created have become Hollywood classics, Francis Ford Coppola would not have looked at a young man who has been in Hollywood for less than 4 years, let alone invited him to his estate for a wine tasting and chat.

The two chatted about their views on the movie in the shade of the tree, and Lin Mu admired Francis Ford Coppola's profound insight, and Lin Mu's sober understanding of the future of the film also impressed Francis Ford Coppola. Lin Mu plans to invite Francis Ford Coppola out of the mountain, but the great director does not seem to have come out of the past setbacks, especially the appearance of Lin Mu makes him obviously feel that he is old, and the future Hollywood should be the world of young people like Lin Mu!

The failure to convince Francis Ford Coppola made Lin Mu feel a little regretful. The Napa Valley is in the middle of nowhere, and when I went to the woods that Francis Ford Coppola sent a special car to pick up, the woods came back to Los Angeles by train.

This is the first time Lin Mu has taken a train to travel further afield, and this is a monorail that connects to a small town just outside the Napa Valley, which is a famous tourist classic in California. June is the peak season for tourism, so there are quite a few passengers on the train. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by others, Lin Mu reluctantly put on sunglasses.

There were many platforms along the way to Los Angeles, the train stopped and stopped, and the passengers around Lin Mu also changed wave after wave, and he paid more attention to the newspaper in his hand, until a pleasant voice interrupted him, "Is there anyone here?" ”

Lin Mu suspected that this was the most beautiful English pronunciation he had ever heard, without the slightest pretentiousness, graceful and natural. He looked up and was stunned. With brown and black hair, a delicate face, intelligent eyes, a slender figure, and a beautiful posture, people are pitied. Like an angel who has fallen into the world, an eternal elf who has traveled through time, all the words that Lin Mu can think of are not enough to describe the young woman in front of him. Lin Mu suddenly thought of Audrey Hepburn, because this woman and the legendary actress look so much, if it weren't for the fact that Audrey Hepburn had died of colon cancer in Tolochenac, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland on January 20, Lin Muzhen would have suspected that he had seen Audrey Hepburn herself. To be exact, to meet Audrey Hepburn in her youth.

The woman who looked like Audrey Hepburn frowned slightly, and when she saw Lin Mu raise her head, she had been staring at herself blankly, and there was already a slight anger between her eyebrows. But in Lin Mu's eyes, he is like Xi Shi Zou Feng, and even his demeanor when he is angry is amazing! However, he soon realized his gaffe, "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now!" Lin Mu stood up, only to find that her height was at least 1.75 meters, and she didn't look short in front of her height of 1.8 meters. Lin Mu could conclude at a glance that this woman was well-educated, because her whole person exuded a noble and elegant temperament. She didn't deliberately dress up like many American women of the same age, but even so, many people's eyes still fell on her unconsciously.

Lin Mu looked around, only to find that there was an empty seat next to him, and the whole carriage was already full, and he happily told the girl: "There is no one here!" ”

Lin Mu was very glad that he was in such a position, but there were many people in the carriage, and he was not good at talking to the woman too much, but Lin Mu had already made up his mind to talk to her, although he didn't know anything about this woman now, Lin Mu seemed to have seen the future Audrey Hepburn of Hollywood.
