There is never a lack of genius in the palace of art, and this is especially true in the world of film.

The first feature film "Four Hundred Strikes" written and directed by Francois Truffaut caused a sensation around the world. It is not only the foundation stone of the French New Wave, but also one of the greatest movies about childhood in the world. At that time, he was only twenty-seven years old. Jean-luc-godard filmed his first feature film at the age of twenty-nine, and also served as the second director. He amazed the entire film industry with "exhaustion". This movie was a watershed in the history of film by the "movie manual".

Orson-welles's debut "Citizen Kane" has been famous in history and is still the top of countless movie lists; Kevin Costner's directorial debut "Dancing with Wolves" swept the seven little golden men of the Oscars, defeating Martin Scorsese's "good guy", which made the latter realize his dream until more than ten years later; Warren-beatty's first feature film "Citizen Kane" won eight Oscars nominations; Jerome-robbins' directorial debut made the "West Side Story"; Paul Thomas Anderson was only twenty-seven years old when he directed the stunning work "Bully Night"...

Sam Mendes made a big splash with the "American Beauty". Not only did he win the attention of the world and won the Oscar Little Golden Man, but he also became the second youngest best director in film history - at that time he was only 34 years old.

At the 76th Academy Awards, the world witnessed Peter Jackson's feat, the world witnessed Sean Penn's Grand Slam, and the world also witnessed the emergence of Lancelot Strello.

Perhaps, compared to those genius masters who have harvested countless flowers and praises, "City of God" has only won the best foreign language film, the best adapted script and the best photography of the three Little Golden Man. It seems not as exciting as imagined; but considering the significance of "City of God" to the entire South American continent, considering the absolute strength of "Return of the King", considering the low-keyness of "City of God" throughout the awards season, and considering the achievements made in American land as a foreign language film, this is undoubtedly the most direct and important affirmation for Lance.

There is no doubt that when the Oscars came to an end, all the media focused their attention on Lance and gave the title of "genius" to Lance. The New York Times even expressed his praise for Lance with the comments of "his talent is enviable and jealous". Walking from a foreign-language film into Hollywood and from Sundance to the Oscar. A "City of God" brought a brand new director to everyone, Lance emerged in an extraordinary posture and made a brilliant debut. Starting a director's career in this way is undoubtedly the way everyone dreams of.

After the award ceremony, the preview of "City of God" in Art Theater continued until the third week of April. With the powerful effect of the Oscars, the second round of previews won a total of 15 million US dollars, which made the cumulative box office of the movie rise to 60 million US dollars in one fell swoop. It not only became the second foreign language work in North American film history with a box office of more than 60 million, but also successfully overtaken the "Beautiful Life". It ranked second in the North American box office rankings of foreign language films, only lagging behind "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

What is even more commendable is that "City of God" has also shown a positive development trend in the videotape rental market, which makes Paramount Pictures completely overwhelmed.

The palace of genius. Lance successfully occupied a place; but the palace of masters, Lance's journey has just begun.

Lance stood in the backstage of Kodak Theater, looking at the small fountain on the crystal clear table in front of him. The exquisite and delicate craftsmanship carved English letters on the base of the trophy. Clear water droplets passed through the golden trophy, leaving a faint silver color, refracted into the light of the water droplets.

"Man! Man... Congratulations! Congratulations!" A voice came from the side. He looked up and saw Sean Pan's vicissitudes of face full of pleated eyebrows. He raised his thumbs with admiration, "Excellent! It's really wonderful! I have to say that your award speech is much bolder than mine."

Sean obviously doubled his favor for Lance's move to mention war indirectly. Lance shrugged, "I hope I won't be on the academy's blacklist, the price is not what I hope." This is the truth.

But Sean thought it was a joke and laughed, "I think you have entered the sight of many people and marked you." Sean patted Lance's arm familiarly, "Are you going to have two drinks on Oscar night?"

"Of course. I have never had any resistance to alcohol." Lance's teasing made Sean chuckle again. After saying hello, he turned around and greeted Peter Will.

Oscar Night, a celebration party held by Vanity Fair magazine, is also the biggest annual carnival feast in Hollywood. It is even larger than the Oscars itself, and its specifications are even more grand than the Golden Globes. All the guests who can enter and exit are among the top among all industries.

Except for all the Oscar nominees who can win an invitation every year, other invitations must be reviewed and published by the "Vanity Fair", which is unimaginable. In the black market, an invitation priced at 20,000 US dollars, but it still has a priceless market.

Lance naturally won't miss the Oscar Night. After the three little Golden Men were in hand, the situation was completely different from the time of the Golden Globes. Tonight will become exciting and worth looking forward to.

Now that the award ceremony has not completely disbanded, Lance has already felt the huge centripetal force of Vanity Fair. Within ten minutes of waiting for the engraving, the people who came to say hello have easily entered the double digits. Even Clint Eastwood came here to leave a "congratulations". Such a scene must be completely different from before the award ceremony. What's more, the Oscar Night, which is about to debut?

"Hey, Lance." A charming voice came from behind. Lance turned his head and saw Diana Lasbon's face. She wore a long mermaid dress today. The golden strapless upper body design and a blue skirt were elegant and sexy, which brought her legs to the extreme. Even on the red carpet with a cloud of beauty, it was worth watching.

Lance was somewhat surprised to meet Diana here. If it was an Oscar night, it was not uncommon for Diana to be qualified to attend. With the attention of "Troy" in Hollywood now, it was natural for Diana to receive an invitation letter. Tonight is bound to be a great opportunity for "Troy" to start publicity. However, it was quite surprising that it appeared directly at the Oscars.

Lance raised his eyebrows and looked up and down with interest, but did not reply immediately.

Diana did not notice Lance's eyes, but admired the man in front of her seriously. She couldn't help but start to amaze. She couldn't believe that someone could wear black with such an outstanding temperament, which made people involuntarily outline the scenery after buttoning the black shirt one by one in their mind.

Diana realized that her eyes seemed a little presumptuous, so she quickly took them back, covering up her panic, "I have called you several times before. You are busy. Haven't you received my message? Why didn't you call me back?" Diana/精 blinked at Lance with silky eyes, but Lance did not reply, but she looked at her playfully with a faint smile on her lips. This look made Diana feel a little shy, and the flames in her lower abdomen began to slowly rush.

"It must be the phone company's fault. They always miss the message. I've appeared three times this month, and I almost delayed the big thing." Diana asked herself for a reason. Lance's eyebrows raised slightly, and the surprise in her eyes flashed in an instant. Diana's eyes stayed on Lance's black bow tie and could not be moved away. "We haven't met for half a year in the blink of an eye, right? How about it? We will attend Oscar Night tonight together. What do you think? Maybe we can have a few drinks and then have a good reminiscence in the evening."

Since the dust settled on the "Troy" project, Lance cut off contact with Diana and received several calls from the front and back, which Lance ignored directly. For him, Diana no longer has any value in use, so naturally she no longer needs to socialize politely.

Attend Oscar Night together? This is the funniest joke he has ever heard in a year.

He originally thought Diana could understand it, just like the relationship between her and Barry Mayer, purely using it. But now it seems that Diana is still wishful thinking, which makes Lance very interesting - how did she fascinate Barry?

Diana raised her right hand and carefully depicted it along the cutting lines of Lance's suit. Lance raised her eyes and saw Barry not far away. At this time, Barry was talking to Peter Jackson. Lance did not retreat, but took a small step forward. This immediately made Diana's muscles tense up, feeling the mist and excitement surrounded by Lance's charming fragrance.

Lance looked at Barry with his eyes, and the two people's eyes touched slightly in the air, and then Lance whispered in Diana's ear, "I thought you were a smart person." Then he looked at Barry, and the corner of his mouth slightly outlined to the right, and the evil provocation directly hurt Barry's eyes.

Diana felt a sensation of itching in her ears, which immediately made her ears turn red. But before she could react, Lance took a step back and quickly opened the distance between the two. The surging cold wind made Diana stunned. Then, Diana saw Lance's back resolutely turning around and leaving.

Standing there, Diana was a little at a loss. She didn't understand what was going on. She subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab the dark shadow remaining in the air, but she just threw herself into the air. Then Diana felt a hot source of heat coming from behind her, and turned around reflexively, and then saw Barry standing in front of her with a gloomy face.
