Hollywood legendary director

Lyman felt that his left leg was a little sore, so he put down his right leg and slightly adjusted his sitting posture. It also changed from a posture with Erlang's legs tilted up to sitting on the seat with the center of gravity pressed back.

The Oscar is really difficult, as if the judges are deliberately setting up these tedious details of the award to create the kind of very rare and over-paying mood.

The detailed introduction, the long-winded host, the appetizing opening of the envelope... and every guest who went up to announce the winner had to make an unbelievable or surprised look.

Lehman really wants to ask, is it interesting?

Who can win and who can't win, don't everyone have a b-number in mind?

Unless the judges collectively are evil, there are few mistakes in the selection of the award.

But they were really wicked. In the best director evaluation, they resolutely gave it to Roman Polanski.

The faces of several campaign directors were a bit ugly. They worked so hard to sit with them for so long. As a result, the award was given to a person who did not come. They still rely on the staff of their crew to accept the award, and even the acceptance speech was very Perfunctory-at first glance, they are very dumb and unprepared.

Lehman watched this embarrassing happening with great interest, and the atmosphere in the entire venue fell down-such being played with by others, no one would be in a good mood.

It is estimated that tomorrow’s news will be lively again, such a big topic, presumably those reporters and media do not want to miss it.

After more than half an hour of farce, the ceremony finally came to the award Lehman participated in-Best Foreign Language Film.

The guest who came forward to present this award, Michael Kane, smiled, and he politely praised the five nominated films, "Speak to Her from Spain..."

With his voice, scenes of various films appeared on the big screen behind him.

"Mexico, "The Sins of Father Amaro""

"Germany, "Where is My Home""

"China, "Hero""

"France, India, "Three Fools Make a Break in Bollywood""

As soon as the screen turned, there was a scene of Laga committing suicide in despair in the dean's office, accompanied by low-pitched music, which shocked some people who hadn't seen it.

As part of the film was played on the big screen, the boom camera in the venue was also pointed at Lehmann in a timely manner. His face appeared in the lens and was transmitted in real time following the live TV broadcast.

Bella, the film critic who has been following Lehman, was sitting in front of the TV at home, watching the 75th Oscars ceremony. When she watched Michael Kane slowly take out the envelope, she couldn't help feeling nervous. stand up.

While Lyman was at the scene, he didn't feel nervous.

Seeing Michael Kane deliberately tearing open the envelope awkwardly, and taking another look with a surprised expression, Lehman thought that this man's acting skills were really good.

Even he himself knows that he can win this award with a 70% chance of winning, and the remaining 20% ​​is "Say to Her", and the remaining three are just to accompany him.

Of course, it does not rule out that the judges have been slandered again.

However, this probability is estimated to be very small.

"The best foreign language film of the 75th Oscar, the winner is..." Michael Kane's voice echoed through the sound in the Kodak Theater, suffocating people's appetites. "Bollywood", France, India. Director Lehman will come to the stage to accept the award."

It really was him.

He succeeded.

He successfully completed his goal and shortened the important "preparation" in his director's journey.

Although I had expected it in my mind, I was facing the camera lens around the venue at this time.

Lehman promoted his acting foundation. At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by Nicholas Cage or Heath Ledger, with a smile on his face, but a slightly calm expression, but he was able to zoom under the camera lens. It made people feel his repressive excitement from his trembling eyelids and twitching corners of his mouth, which created an image that conceals his joy and pretends to be calm.

Well, everyone is an acting school.

Hugging Ryan, Thomas, and George, Lyman walked to the stage and greeted other familiar people.

"Congratulations, Lyman."

On stage, Michael Kane politely congratulated him.

"Thank you."

He took the little golden man who was a symbol of honor from his hand. In addition to feeling a little more weighty than expected, he also felt very good in touch-in his hand, it was smooth and cold.

The next step is to express the acceptance speech.

He had already prepared for this.

Standing in front of the stage at the moment, he took out a small note from his pocket and read it as written, "Thank you the judges of the college, thank you Europa Pictures, thank you CAA, thank you my agent... thank you audience , It is your love that makes this movie get this honor, thank you..."

Talking about the modest testimony, Lehman was feeling something else in his heart: CAA's public relations team is really good, but I don’t know who is better than the team led by Harvey Weinstein, but think about this year’s Chicago "The harvest is not comparable.

After speaking very smoothly, Lehman learned how others raised the trophy and asked the reporters to take photos of his own prize. He suddenly felt a little trance amidst flashing lights and polite applause.

It's not because of the so-called Oscar for the best foreign language film, the little golden man felt dazed, but because of the unpredictability of fate.

Just two years ago now, he is still worrying about how to save enough qualifications to obtain the power to independently direct film and television projects;

A year ago now, thinking about what I should do if the performance of "Buried Alive" is not good;

Six months ago, I was thinking about how to increase my value and obtain better cooperation conditions...

People are always not satisfied with the present. They didn't have a choice before, but now they want them all. Perhaps this is the truest portrayal of Lehman.

Who would have thought that he could go to the present-he himself is a little emotional-standing in the hall of the highest honor in the American film industry, holding up the golden figure symbolizing honor-or the most competitive best foreign language film.

This is the unpredictable and erratic destiny.

Lehman's eyesight is very good, so he can clearly read the facial expressions of the people under the stage while standing on the stage.

Ryan, Thomas, and George are naturally smiling and very happy; several directors who are also competitors, although they are also smiling, but the loneliness and unwillingness in their eyes are beyond words-also, if they did not get it If you get this award, you will be very unwilling...

He also saw Halle Berry sitting in the audience.

When "Furious" was released, the scandal hype between her and Pierce Brosnan really attracted a lot of attention. He still remembered that the first week of the week box office champion was won by the movie they starred in.

Although, after so long, they broke up peacefully in front of the media, saying that they will be friends in the future...

True and false, false and true, who can tell.

After finishing the acceptance speech, holding the golden man, Lehman walked towards the backstage-as usual, he had to go backstage to accept interviews and take photos.

As soon as he followed the staff into the backstage, the agent Johnson and Kevin Howen greeted them.

"How? How's your mood?" Kevin Hoween looked in a good mood and asked in a relaxed tone.

"It's okay, I finally did not live up to everyone's efforts and reaped rewards."

"Haha." Kevin Hoween smiled and led Lyman to the media area.

"Yes, I am very happy, yes, this is indeed beyond my expectation. Winning this award was a rather unexpected result..."

It wasn't until the next award was presented and the winners entered the backstage that Lehmann found a space to get rid of the enthusiastic media that asked everything.

He talked a few more words with Kevin Hoween, and then he hurriedly returned to his seat-the award ceremony has not really ended, and he needs to show his respect for Oscar.

The competitors around him congratulated him on the fact that he won the prize graciously, and Lehmann also smiled and said politely to them.

Bella saw this scene from the TV and saw the director she admired successfully holding the cup, and she was also extremely happy-her favorite work at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival won the Oscar selection , This really made her feel proud.

She didn't want to watch anymore, Bella got up and turned off the TV.

Suddenly she thought of something, ran to the bedroom, turned on the computer, clicked on the IMDB website, and found the interface of "Three Fools in Bollywood"—it turned out that she was not the only one who followed this movie. In the message box below, The latest messages are all congratulations to the film for winning the best foreign language film.

Even in Lehman's personal homepage, there are many similar congratulatory words.

The award of the best foreign language film came to an end. Throughout the awards season, "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" won the battle with the absolute strength of public relations.It also won the 7th statuette in history for France.

In the Oscar selection for the best foreign language film, Europe has always been a hot candidate.Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark...These countries are all frequent visitors of this award. Of course, the honor Lehman won is nothing, but in the eyes of the French media, it was also shown at the Oscars. The style of the French people, so at the moment the news was confirmed, the relevant drafts were prepared.

I want to come the next day, it will cause heated discussion in the French film industry.This is also what Lehmann wants to achieve. He needs to improve his reputation to bring about an increase in his status and directorship.

Fortunately, the plan was completed smoothly.

Finally, with the warm applause of everyone, the 75th Oscar Awards ceremony finally came to an end.

The biggest winner is undoubtedly the "Chicago" promoted by Miramax. Best film, best actress, best editing, best audio... This series of awards can be described as soft.
