Zhang Xiao let out a long sigh and said faintly: "I also hope that there will be such a day, but my strength does not allow it. Alas, the long sword is empty, the heroes are at a loss, and it is impossible to find an opponent. I finally realized that

In the novel, it is the state of being alone and seeking defeat.”

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Yang Mi was amused and said: "Husband, what can you do if you don't brag?"

Zhang Xiao said: "It can't be anything, and I'm not bragging. I'm just explaining a fact to you."

"Hahahaha!" Yang Mi burst out laughing.

Three days later, the Oscar Awards ceremony was held as scheduled.

The lights outside the Kodak Theater were bright and crowded, and a long red carpet stretched from the entrance of the theater to the intersection.

There are isolation belts on both sides, dividing the stars walking on the red carpet, the media reporters filming and the fans who came to support their idols into different areas.

Fans held various support cards in their hands. No matter which star came out, they would burst into loud screams and cheers, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Soon, a black extended-length Lincoln slowly stopped. Many reporters recognized the license plate and quickly focused their cameras on the car.

The two car doors opened almost at the same time, and two men in suits and leather shoes with extraordinary appearance came out. They were Zhang Xiao, the director of the popular "Forrest Gump" at this year's Oscars, and Heath Ledger, the star.

"Woo~~~"

Seeing these two big-name celebrities walking the red carpet together, the fans at the scene immediately became excited.

"Forrest Gump, you are the best!"

"Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, I love you!"

"Ledger, you must win the Best Actor Award!"

"Xiao Shen, we will always support you!"

“···”

Zhang Xiao and Heath Ledger kept waving to the fans on both sides while walking on the red carpet.

And every time they waved, they could cause a huge wave. Then they signed their names in the name-dropping area. Zhang Xiao and Heath Ledger were left by the host at the scene.

"Mr. Zhang, first of all, congratulations on your "Forrest Gump" for winning eleven Oscar nominations this year, breaking the Oscar historical record in the past twenty years."

"Thanks!"

"Among these eleven nominations, which one or which awards do you think "Forrest Gump" has the best chance of winning?"

Zhang Xiao pointed to Heath Ledger next to him and said: "If I were stable, I would definitely choose Ledger as the best actor at this Oscar, because his performance in this movie is impeccable."

"Mr. Ledger, Mr. Zhang is very optimistic about you. Are you confident?"

Heath Ledger straightened his back and replied: "Yes, under Mr. Zhang's training, I think I have a great chance of winning the Oscar for Best Actor. At the same time, I even think that Mr. Zhang can win the Best Director Oscar this year."

Award and Best Picture, "Forrest Gump" is so good, even if we look at the entire history of Hollywood, this movie is also a rare classic film."

"Then I wish you both good luck!"

After entering the Kodak Cinema, Zhang Xiao sat down with other members of the "Forrest Gump" crew. Compared with the previous Oscars, this year's Oscars had many fewer outstanding films.

Regardless of box office or influence, "Forrest Gump" can be said to be outstanding. In addition, the head of this Oscar jury is Zhang Xiao's good friend Nolan, and "Forrest Gump" is even more certain.

.

Sure enough, not long after the awards ceremony began, "Forrest Gump" won three awards for Best Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Art Direction.

Since the script, editing and art direction were all written by Zhang Xiao, he was accepted three times in a row, and in the end he didn't even have to say his acceptance speech.

When it came time for the heavyweight award of Best Actor, Zhang Xiao walked out with Spielberg as the presenter. Seeing the two most important directors in the world appearing at the same time, fans and stars present all sent their gifts.

received warm applause and cheers.

Spielberg did not talk about "Forrest Gump" but brought the topic to "Twelve Angry Men". He looked at Zhang Xiao and said: "Zhang, I heard that you completed the film in four and a half days.

Movie, is this real?”

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, nodded and said: "It's true, the name of this movie is "Twelve Angry Men"."

Spielberg continued: "After I heard about this, I was really curious, what kind of story is this that you could complete in four and a half days?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I will send you an invitation letter to watch the movie when it premieres."

Spielberg said with deep meaning: "Zhang, if the movie doesn't meet my expectations, I won't lie."

"Hahahaha!" After hearing Spielberg's words, Zhang Xiao laughed and said: "Excellent directors should have a sincere heart for movies. Only in this way can they produce truly good movies. I ask

You attended the premiere because I have great confidence in the movie "Twelve Angry Men". At the same time, I also want to use your comments to tell everyone something, even if it only took four and a half days to shoot.

The movies that come out can also be classics as long as you put your heart into it."

"Well said!" Spielberg was the first to applaud Zhang Xiao's words, followed by applause from the audience.

Zhang Xiao continued to smile and said: "Thank you everyone for your encouragement, and I would also like to thank Director Spielberg for mentioning my "Twelve Angry Men" here. Is this considered a free advertisement?"

Spielberg nodded and admitted: "This is an advertisement, but it is not free. After the party is over, I believe someone from the Oscar organizing committee will come to you specifically to collect money!"

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said: "If you want money, you definitely don't have it. If you want a life, they can do whatever they want."

"Hahaha!" Everyone at the scene laughed.

Spielberg on the stage smiled and said: "You are really a rogue. Okay, no more joking, let's first take a look at the best actors nominated for this year's Oscars on the big screen.

What a great performance in the movie!”

As soon as the words fell, the highlights of the five Oscar-winning actors in their respective movies appeared on the big screen on stage.

After the playback was over, Spielberg tore open the envelope, took a look at it, and said to Zhang Xiao: "You are an actor, so you should pronounce your name!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Heath Ledger who could not conceal his excitement.

Zhang Xiao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Ledger, I won't pronounce this name until you adjust your mood for me."

Heath Ledger took a deep breath and his face slowly calmed down.

At this time, Zhang Xiaocai on the stage said: "Now I announce that the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actor is...forget it, let's shout out his name together!"

"Heath Ledger!"

Everyone at the scene shouted in unison.

Heath Ledger stood up from his chair, shook hands and hugged the stars around him, and then walked onto the podium.

Zhang Xiao handed the trophy to him and said with a smile: "I knew you could do it!"
Chapter completed!
