VOLUME 430 Happiness Is So Simple

As soon as Steve Martin's words fell, all the casting directors in the room stared at the direction of Michael Douglas, the best actor Oscar winner in 2000, who hugged Zeta Jones.

Then the sky-shattering laughter rang out, almost overturning the theater. This Douglas, who is 20 years older than the beautiful girl in his arms, only got married after marrying Zeta Jones. It's his first Oscar award, and it's in one step, best actor.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he won the award by his wife's luck, the old couple and the young wife are full of energy!

The black line on the side of Qin Guan's head, for such an award ceremony, the car starts when nothing happens, non-veteran drivers and actors who are familiar with the American film industry will be confused.

The atmosphere in the arena returned to calm. With the change of the big screen on the stage, director Zhang Yimou couldn't help but straighten his back. Finally, it's time for the final battle of this year's Oscars.

"Let's take a look at the 75th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. The shortlisted films are: "The Crime of Father Amaro" Mexico, "Nowhere for Home" Germany, "The Man Without a Past" Finland, "zusamp; amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;zo" Netherlands, "Heroes" China."

As the host's voice sounded, the big screen began to play the wonderful tidbits of each film whose title was read.

When reading the hero, the black and solemn Qin Palace appeared on the screen, Li Lianjie with a stern face, red silk, yellow sand, white pear blossoms, and petals fluttering down.

The behind-the-scenes of this film, which is different from western films, is so unique and eye-catching among the foreign films that even the well-informed directors present couldn't help but pay more attention to it.

It's a pity that the tidbits of each film are only played for ten seconds, and before people can get a glimpse of it, it hastily covered its mysterious veil.

The screen ended, which meant the envelope of the final result, was opened by Martin, and the microphone parted and closed with his lips: "The winner of the 75th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film is..."Nowhere From Home"...Germany !"

Caroline Link, who was sitting two rows ahead of Zhang Yimou's director, embraced tightly with the producer beside her after hearing that her film had won the award.

This biographical film, also known as "Love in Africa", uses a female director's very delicate and unique perspective to express the cruelty brought about by war in the form of love.

And the reason why it was able to win the laurel in this year's Oscar foreign language film is also closely related to the current state of war in the United States. It is also the trauma caused by the war, which makes people feel empathy.

The camera of the Oscar awards ceremony turned to this side of the auditorium, but Qin Guan didn't want to show his face in the camera under such circumstances.

Director Zhang Yimou on the side didn't have any expression on his face, but when he looked at his foreign female counterpart, there was indescribable envy in his eyes.

This is what he has been longing for as a director for many years, and it is also an affirmation of his dedicated career. Regret, loss, frustration, bewilderment, mixed together, mixed feelings.

As a man, there is always the old saying that a man never sheds his tears as a warning, but this Chinese man does not know what expression to use to express his heart.

Only silence, endless silence. This is the closest he has come to Oscar, and it is also an attempt he has devoted all his energy to.

It's a pity that all kinds of circumstances came together to make him miss the latest chance to win an award just like this.

For Zhang Yimou and Qin Guan, the rest of the time was endless peace, as if a vacuum vortex had formed around them, awards were awarded one after another, and witty words made flowers, all of which had lost their relationship with them.

The starry sky outside the Academy Awards Theater was getting brighter and brighter, and when a group of happy or disappointed people walked out of the theater, the place, which had been noisy all day, finally returned to calm.

Sister Xue, who saw the live broadcast outside the venue, finally found her family members among the crowd who left the venue.

Director Zhang Yimou subconsciously forgot about the beautiful night sky in the United States, and gently raised his head to cover his eye sockets with the back of his hand.

"What's wrong? Stars can still be dazzling?" Seeing Director Zhang's action, Sister Xue subconsciously looked at the stars in the sky.

Zhang Weiping, who was thinking about how his good brother would comfort him, wanted to laugh for some reason after hearing Sister Xue's words.

However, the atmosphere that was already a little depressing was turned around by Sister Xue's gag.

Director Zhang Yimou, who was not yet sad, suddenly felt dumbfounded. Thinking about it, he is already luckier than too many filmmakers.

Here, stepping on the Walk of Fame, here sitting at the Oscars, here being honored to be shortlisted for the top award.

Here is where his dream continues. Come on, Chinese filmmakers, and thousands of directors in China.

"Find a tavern in Los Angeles and we'll have a drink too!"

"That's right, such a feast, without supper assistance, I always feel that life is regrettable..."

"There's something to eat over there, fill your belly first!"

This group of unreliable people wearing top-notch dresses finally couldn't stand the protests of their stomachs and the temptation of street food. They didn't care about the eyes of the people around them. The signature delicacy in the car, Mexican tacos.

This is one of the most delicious and affordable food trucks in Los Angeles, the City of Angels.

Tito’stao only costs $20, and you can buy a large box full. For Mexican boys in Los Angeles, this is a big meal in their childhood memories.

Qin Guan and Zhang Dao, just like this, took the plastic box full of tortillas without any image, and ate them at the entrance of the Duke Theater where the crowd had not yet dispersed.

The tortilla base of this food truck is not tanned with traditional dry cornmeal, but is made of fresh corn kernels, which makes the baked browned tortilla base more sweet and chewy.

The tortilla is full of Orleans barbecue, fresh red onions, green peppers and a little chives and peppers, which make this tortilla full of surprises.

A few movie stars at the side watched Qin Guan take a bite, and swallowed involuntarily. How could this Asian man eat the tortilla so deliciously?

With the pressure of the teeth, the roasted piece of meat, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, finally released the most essence of juice, and as Qin Guan bit it down, it flowed out around his mouth. (To be continued.)
