Movie Master

There has never been a lack of talent in the halls of art, especially in the film world.

François-Truffaut's first feature film "The Four Hundred Blows", written and directed by himself, was a worldwide sensation. One of the great films, when he was only 27 years old; Jean-Luc-Godard (Jean-Luc-Godard) filmed his first feature film at the age of 29, and also served as a director, Surprising the entire film industry with "Exhaustion", this film was regarded as a watershed in film history by "Movie Handbook".

Orson-Welles wrote, directed, and starred in his debut feature "Citizen Kane," which is still a well-deserved top of countless movie lists; Kevin Costner's directorial debut "Dances with Wolves" "Swept the seven Oscar statuettes and defeated Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas", which kept the latter from realizing his dream more than a decade later; Warren-Beatty (Warren-Beatty) wrote, directed and starred His first feature film, "Heaven Can Wait," earned eight Oscar nominations; Jerome-Robbins made his directorial debut with "West Side Story"; Paul Thomas Anderson directed He was only 27 years old when he published the stunning work "Boogie Nights"...

Sam Mendes became a blockbuster by relying on "American Beauty". Not only did his first directed work win the world's attention, he won the Oscar statuette, and he became the second youngest best director winner in film history— —He was only thirty-four years old at the time.

On the seventy-sixth Academy Awards ceremony, the world witnessed Peter Jackson's summit feat, the world witnessed Sean Penn's best actor grand slam, and the world also witnessed Lancelot Strelo's horizontal success. Empty was born.

Perhaps, compared to those talented masters who have harvested countless flowers and praises, "City of God" just won the three statuettes of Best Foreign Language Film, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Photography. Wonderful; but considering the significance of "City of God" to the entire South American continent, considering the absolute strength of "The Return of the King", considering the low profile of "City of God" throughout the awards season, considering that as a foreign language film in For Lance, the achievements made on American soil are undoubtedly the most direct and important affirmation.

Undoubtedly, when the Oscars ended, all the media focused their attention on Lance, and gave Lance the title of "genius" one after another. The "New York Times" even used "His talent is amazing." The comment "envy envy" expressed praise for Lance. From foreign language films to Hollywood, from Sundance to Oscars, a "City of God" brought a brand new director to the public, and Lance appeared on the stage with an extraordinary gesture. Starting a director's career in this way is undoubtedly the way everyone dreams of.

After the award ceremony, the screening of "City of God" in art theaters lasted until the third week of April. With the help of the powerful effect of the Oscars, the second round of screenings won a total of 15 million US dollars This made the film’s cumulative box office rise to 60 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop, not only becoming the second foreign-language work in North American film history with a box office of over 60 million, but also successfully surpassing “Life is Beautiful”. Runner-up on the box office charts, just behind "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

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

In the hall of geniuses, Lance has successfully occupied a place; but in the hall of masters, Lance's journey has just begun.

Standing in the backstage of the Kodak Theater, Lance looked at the crystal fountain on the table in front of him. The craftsmen carved English letters on the base of the trophy with exquisite and delicate craftsmanship. Leaving streaks of faint silver, refracted in the light of the water drops.

"Dude! Dude... Congratulations! Congratulations!" A voice came from the side, and when he raised his head, he saw Sean Penn's wrinkled and wrinkled face. Thumbs up, "Wonderful! Really wonderful! I have to say, your acceptance speech is much bolder than mine."

Sean obviously liked Lance's move to bring up the war. Lance shrugged, "I hope I won't be blacklisted by the academy. Such a price is not what I want." 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, "One Oscar night, ready for a drink or two?"

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

Oscar night, this is a celebration party organized by "Vanity Fair" magazine, and it is also the biggest annual carnival in Hollywood. The scale is even bigger than the Oscars itself, and the specifications are even more grand than the Golden Globes The guests who can enter and leave are all the top among the top in all walks of life.

Except that all Oscar nominees can win one invitation each year, other invitations must be reviewed and released by "Vanity Fair", the standards are unimaginably strict. In the black market, an invitation can be sold for as much as 20,000 U.S. dollars, but it is still priceless.

Naturally, Lance will not miss the Oscar night. With the three statuettes in hand, the situation will be completely different from the Golden Globes. Tonight will be exciting and worth looking forward to.

Now that the award ceremony has not been completely disbanded, Lance has already felt the huge centripetal force of Vanity Fair. Within ten minutes of waiting here for the engraving, the number of people who came to say hello has easily reached double digits. Even Clint -Eastwood even came over and left a "congratulations". Such a scene must be completely different from before the award ceremony. Not to mention the upcoming Oscar night?

"Hey, Lance." A charming voice came from behind. Lance turned his head and saw the figure of Diana Rathburn. She was wearing a floor-length mermaid dress today, golden The tube top-style upper body design is paired with azure blue skirt, which is elegant with a touch of sexiness, and takes the advantage of her long legs to the extreme. Even on the red carpet full of beauties, it is worthy of attention.

Lance met Diana here by accident. If it was Oscar night, it would not be surprising that Diana was eligible to attend. Given the popularity of "Troy" in Hollywood, it is only natural for Diana to get an invitation , tonight is bound to be a good time for "Troy" to start publicity. However, it was quite a surprise to appear directly at the Oscars.

Lance raised his eyebrows, looked Diana up and down with great interest, but didn't reply immediately.

Diana didn't notice the look in Lance's eyes, but seriously admired the man in front of her. She couldn't help but start to marvel in her heart. It was hard to believe that someone could wear black with such an outstanding temperament, and people couldn't help but outline it in their minds. Show the scenery after unbuttoning the black shirt one by one.

Diana realized that her eyes seemed a little presumptuous, so she quickly retracted them, concealing her panic, "I called you several times before, and you are busy. Didn't you receive my message? Why didn't you Call me back?" Diana blinked at Lance with silky eyes, but Lance didn't reply, just looked at her playfully with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Dai Anna became a little shy, and the flames in her lower abdomen began to blaze slowly.

"It must be the phone company's fault. They keep losing messages. I've shown up three times this month, and I almost missed a big deal." Diana thought of a reason for herself, and Lance raised his eyebrows slightly. Yang Yang, the surprise in her eyes was fleeting, Diana's eyes stayed on Lance's black bow tie, and she couldn't move away at all, "We haven't seen each other for more than half a year in a blink of an eye, right? How about it? Let's attend together tonight Oscar night, what do you think? Maybe we can have a few drinks and catch up in the evening."

Since the "Troy" project was settled, Lance cut off contact with Diana, and received several phone calls before and after, which Lance directly ignored. For him, Diana no longer has any use value, so naturally there is no need for courteous entertainment.

Attending Oscar night together? It was the funniest joke he had heard all year.

He originally thought that Diana would understand it, just like the relationship between her and Barry Meyer, pure use. But now it seems that Diana is still wishful thinking, which makes Lance very interesting-how did she make Barry fascinated?

Diana raised her right hand and traced along the tailoring line of Lance's suit. Lance raised his eyes and saw Barry not far away - at this time Barry was talking with Peter Jackson, Lance did not back up, but took a small half step forward, which immediately made Diana's whole body tremble He tensed up, feeling the mist and excitement surrounded by Lance's charming fragrance.

Lance stared at Barry with both eyes, and the two people's eyes met 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 drew to the right After a moment, the evil provocation directly stung Barry's eyes.

Diana only felt an itching from her ears, which made the roots of her ears turn red. But without waiting for her to react, Lance took half a step back and quickly opened the distance between the two of them. Diana was stunned by the rushing cold wind. Immediately afterwards, Diana saw the back of Lance who resolutely turned and left.

Standing in place, Diana was a little at a loss. She didn't understand what happened. Subconsciously, she wanted to reach out and grab the black shadow that remained in the air, but it was all in vain. Afterwards, Diana felt a scorching heat source coming from behind, and turned around reflexively, and then saw Barry standing in front of him with a gloomy face.
