At the 71st Academy Awards ceremony, a work called "Beautiful Life" ignited all the focus. This work did not even win one nomination at the Golden Globes, but it was released above the Oscar. After seven nominations, it won three small gold men, Best Actor, Best Soundtrack and Best Foreign Language Film. Roberto Benini shines on the stage, and also makes this work successfully recorded in history. This article was first published by l.

At the 72nd Academy Awards ceremony, a work called "American Beauty" emerged, sweeping away five small gold men, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Script, Best Actor, Best Photography, and Best Photography, becoming the biggest winner. Two fledgling names shine on the screen. This work is Sam Mendes' director's debut and Alan Ball's screenwriter's debut.

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

At the 76th Academy Awards ceremony, a work called "City of God" won a lot of attention. With the absolute strong performance of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King", he won the best foreign language film and the best photography two little golden men. He pulled his teeth and directly grabbed the Best Adapted Screenplay Award from his competitors, amazing everyone with his proud posture.

"City of God" is the first official work by Lance as a director and screenwriter.

Lance and Hayden stood side by side in the standby room, watching the movements on the stage through the big screen, but when Sophia said the winner's name, Lance's first reaction was to look at the big screen and give Peter Jackson applause Lance remembered clearly. In his previous life, "The King Returns" won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award.

To be precise, in the last life, the "Return of the King" nominated eleven Little Golden Men, but the trajectory of this life changed a little, and "Return of the King" won twelve nominations. Even though there were differences in details, Lance knew one thing: he longed to win his own glory. But he would not overestimate himself. Tonight belonged to "Return of the King". This is undoubtedly, 45 million viewers were all to witness the "Return of the King" reaching the top.

But then, Lance did not 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 it at all, while he stood beside him and clapped with a smile. The deep eyes revealed a hint of confusion that others could not detect.

What's going on here

Lance's brain was blank for about a second. Then everyone in the standby room looked at him and gave him applause. The idea of ​​"I won the award" suddenly jumped into Lance's mind, and it jumped directly from the soles of his feet to his head, making him shivering.

Lance is a confident person. The hardships of time have made him clearly understand that self-confidence is one of the necessary conditions for success. Even if he doesn't believe that he can succeed, then who can believe it? But deep down, the loneliness and setbacks of life in the two lives have brought too many reality, cruel and cold reality. This makes Lance's confidence feel like walking on thin ice, like a duck paddling, and the calmness on the surface is just to hide the hard paddling under the water.

Winning the Best Foreign Language Film Award is the best award for Lance, which is the highest recognition and motivation for his future work; winning the Best Photography Award is an unexpected surprise, and Hayden's victory is more like an extra commendation for their hard work Lance is confident, but not arrogant, and he does not think he can win the third Little Golden Man again.

But, the third little golden man came like this. Three consecutive nominations and three consecutive trophys, "City of God" showed the most eye-catching posture of a dark horse, just like the ocean biscuits in the "Rushing Age", with inspiring enthusiasm, leaving his own heroic posture on the stage of the Kodak Theater.

The TV screen was completely inflated, and Emerson jumped directly from the sofa as if he was riding a rocket, then clenched his hands into fists, and yelled at the TV with a horse stance, "Ahhh, I told you, I told you."

Andy couldn't suppress his inner excitement, and stood up and waved his fists a few times, but the excitement in his heart was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't even get up or down. He didn't understand why he was so excited, because he had never seen the "City of God" at all, but at this moment, he was simply happy for Lancelot, that's all.

Looking at the friend running wildly throughout the room to celebrate, Andy's smile couldn't help but burst into tears. Turning his head, he saw Lily sitting quietly on the sofa, tears filled his eyes, and the excitement and touching flashing in the tears were like stars, dazzling and moving. Andy couldn't help but turn his head again, look at the TV screen, and slowly fell silent.

"Lance Lans Lans" Hayden was so excited that he couldn't help himself, so he hugged Andy directly, and then kept jumping up and down, causing Andy to be unable to stand firm and panic. "We are us, we are us," Hayden shouted speechlessly. He couldn't even say a complete sentence clearly, and could only burst out vocabulary fragments.

Lance felt that he had a moment of suffocation, and the heat flowed into his chest, and the complex emotions made him feel at a loss.

At this moment, put aside the deep hatred of Diorama Film, put aside the long-term development of Chaos Film, put aside the hard entanglement of personal grievances, put aside the strategist of interests first, he is just Lancelot Strello. He is just a film lover who loves movies, likes movies, and focuses on movies. He is just a producer who focuses on the shooting of a work. He is just a director who resonates with the audience. He just dreams because of love, persists because of dreams, and ordinary people who come here because of persistence are Li Jin, Strello, and he is just Lancelot.

Nothing about Ryan Kavalug. Nothing about Diorama, Nothing about Chaos. Nothing about Oscars, just about a dream, a dream that has persisted for three lives. How ridiculous, stupid, and childish, he persisted for so long, so long that he seemed to have forgotten the starting point, and then staggered all the way to this. But he was very glad that he persisted, like a hopeless fool.

"Lance, please come on stage to receive the award." The emcee walked over and led Lance onto the stage.

Lance patted Hayden on the back, then followed the emcee and took a step forward. Hayden stood behind, raised his hands high, and kept applauding hard on his head, making the standby room look like a circus.

When he arrived at the side stage, Lance did not immediately walk onto the stage, but stopped and watched the emcee walk onto the stage. Lance stood there and looked at the stage in front of him again seriously. His eyes suddenly felt warm. The extreme passion made all the control force shatter in an instant. He lowered his head in a mess, quickly wiped the water light at the corners of his eyes with his palm, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

This is his moment

The emcee stopped. Because she finally found that the person behind her was lost, she turned around in panic, and then saw the faint figure under the light and shadow. The fleeting fragility almost made her think that she was dazzled. Then, she saw the figure straighten her back again, tidy up the hem of her suit, and then took a step forward and walked onto the stage step by step, one footprint, another, becoming more and more firm.

Lance is on stage.

Albert stood up first, applauding with all his strength, and all the surge and excitement in his heart were concentrated in his palms. No matter what others thought or looked at, he just wanted to celebrate this moment to the fullest. This was the moment belonging to Lance; then, Alexander, Philip and Soe also stood up one after another, and the entire "City of God" crew also stood up, and excitedly motivated his hands. Alexander was already crying at this time, and even he himself didn't know what was going on, and tears couldn't stop falling.

Percy, who was guarding the outfield and unable to enter the theater, followed the scene through the broadcast screen. He watched Lance take steady steps and walk towards the center of the stage. Then the guests on the scene stood up one after another, 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 little golden men in "City of God" won the standing ovation tonight. Looking at the crowd of black people, Percy could no longer bear the surging inside, and hid in the corner in a mess, concealed the hot tears in his eyes.

Only those who have truly participated in the "City of God" know how much hardship they have experienced, even hung their heads on their belts and danced on high-altitude ropes. They may accidentally explain their lives to that yellow land and never come back; only those who have truly participated in the "City of God" know how much effort Lance has put into this movie, from script to shooting, from photography to scheduling, from performance to control, during those days in Rio de Janeiro, Lance has hardly slept peacefully

Now, it is finally time to harvest, this is the time that belongs to the "City of God" and even more to the time that belongs to Reims.

Seanpan stood up, Charlize Theron stood up, Tim Robbins stood up, Susan Sarandon stood up, then Clint Eastwood, Peter Will even Peter Jackson couldn't help but urge his hands, and then slowly stood up.

Who can imagine that a Portuguese work, a director's debut work, a work that cost only three million US dollars, a work that could hardly be found in the publicity stage, a work that was destroyed by everyone during the awards season, a work that survived among many popular awards seasons but stood tenaciously on the Oscar stage, and relying on solid quality and extraordinary talent to win the best foreign language film, win the best photography, and win the best adapted script

The most important thing is to break the monopoly of "the return of the king" and become the Achilles heel for Peter Jackson to further create history tonight.

Who can imagine that it will not be continued.
