Bow and thank the rebellious cat, big and small, black and white, the vast blue sky, the invincible outman, and the willful little fish for their big rewards~~~

I bow and thank everyone who voted for me. Although I don’t know your names and I can’t say thank you to you, but please be sure that I am equally grateful. Thank you!

There is no doubt that this movie will shine at next year's Oscar ceremony, but I missed it by some strange combination of circumstances.

"What's wrong, Meryl, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Meryl's husband saw that his wife's face was very ugly, with loss and regret written so plainly on her face, which made him very worried.

"It's nothing. I just thought of the scene when Smith came to see me. This role originally belonged to me!" Meryl quickly controlled her emotions and smiled again.

"I know that this movie is indeed excellent, and the role of teacher is indeed very suitable for you. But those are all in the past, right? You are the queen of acting. Hollywood has long known this fact, and the Oscar has proven it countless times.

You just missed a good movie, don't be sad, I believe your next movie will come soon, and it won't be worse than "Spring of the Cowherd Class"!" The husband was full of satisfaction when he saw it.

There was still a slight hint of disappointment in the wife's eyebrows, and she wanted to make Meryl feel at ease.

"It's not that easy to find such a touching movie." Meryl shook her head and walked out of the cinema with her husband.

Under the brilliant lights outside, there were only a few stars in the Los Angeles sky. Meryl lowered her head and slowly walked home with her husband.

This movie theater was not far from home, so the two of them came here while shopping. Meryl didn't say anything along the way, only sighing softly from time to time.

The husband did not offer any more words to persuade her. At this time, he knew that Meryl, who was in a low mood, needed to be quiet, so he just held her hand and walked gently on the path full of sycamore trees.

Quiet and distant, just like the lingering aftertaste after a shock to the soul, in the quiet night, there are occasionally fallen leaves waiting for the two people with some gray hair.

The husband suddenly stopped and carefully picked off the leaves that fell on Meryl's hair. He replaced her with a warm smile. After decades of getting along, each other did not need to speak. When they made eye contact, they knew what to say.

What.

When I was about to get home, a burst of singing suddenly floated over in the small square in the community, echoing in the black night.

Oh, darkness has just descended on the earth.

Your magical secret magic of tranquility,

How gentle and sweet the surrounding shadows are.

How tender is your musical message praising hope,

How great is your divine power to turn everything into a dream.

Isn't it more beautiful than dreams,

Isn’t it more worthy of hope than expectation?

That's the episode in "Spring of the Cowherd Class"!

Over and over again, the singing soared into the night sky, and among the singing, there were pure and bouncing children's voices, deep yet bright voices of middle-aged people, and even vicissitudes of old people's voices with years of insights, as if there were a group of people,

Without the constraints of the generation gap, get together and sing music that can only be found in heaven!

Who was singing the movie episode "Cowherd"? Meryl was a little curious and walked over quickly.

Turning the corner, there were about twenty or thirty people gathered in the small square, singing songs in the form of a choir under the command of my neighbor, a retired high school music teacher.

Everyone's face is filled with holy light, and everyone is extremely serious and immersed in the beauty of music.

There are also many people, just like Meryl, who were led here by the singing and are standing aside, quietly listening to the singing of this small choir.

Seeing Meryl coming over, the gray-haired neighbor, the high school music teacher named Curriet, stopped his conducting gesture and greeted enthusiastically: "Meryl, our big star! Come and join me."

This choir was formed! Now it has twenty-four members!”

"Joining the choir?" Meryl's husband Dio Gummer was a little confused.

"Yes, Dior, come on too! Don't you think life without music is like a stagnant water? Plus I watched "Spring of the Cowherd Class" the day before yesterday. God, the music in it is so good! Shlick

They also watched the movie, so they approached me and asked me to take the lead in organizing a choir in our community, so here I am! In just one day, I found twenty-four like-minded friends.

Lina who is 23 years old, Maimi who is twenty-three years old, and Korit, who is almost seventy-one, we welcome all ages!" Korit said with a smile.

"Yes, but neither of us can sing very well..." Dio said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you love music and chorus, you can come and join us! Singing with everyone doesn't require outstanding talent like solo singing. We need a variety of voices!" Collit said encouragingly.

"Yes, come and join Dior!" The choir members are all people from the community, and they are all familiar with each other. Shlick, who is usually a white-collar worker in a company, also advised him.

"Grandpa Colette, can we participate?" Two boys aged 17 or 18, who had been listening for a long time, shouted with enthusiasm.

"Welcome! Everyone is welcome! Come on, let me hear which voice you are in first!" Seeing that two more children wanted to participate, Corritt immediately burst into laughter and said quickly.

"You are the high voice, please stand on the left. You are the alto, just stand in the middle!" After listening to the two singing, Colette directed them to stand in a very professional manner.

"Meryl, why don't we give it a try too!" Seeing so many people participating in the choir happily, Dio was also a little moved and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Okay, let's show Colette which part we are in." Meryl also became interested and joined Dio in a community choir called "Sky over the Pond".

From twenty-four people on the first day, the number soared to eighty-one in three days. The choir sang on time almost every day in the community square, and this place has become a place where people in the community come here every day to listen.

A place to listen to choir songs or share emotions with neighbors.

Whenever the choir sings, the happy dogs will lie quietly on the grass, enjoying the tranquility brought by the music. Whenever the members of the choir gather together, happiness always surrounds everyone

, quietly take away the troubles of life.

Whenever the choir starts singing, Meryl and Dior will appear in it whenever they have free time. They put aside their status as big stars and stay with ordinary people, sharing a peaceful and indifferent life.

But whenever she sang those songs from "Spring of the Cowherd Class", Meryl could not help but recall how Zhou Shaoming told herself confidently and firmly that day.

"Ms. Meryl, I understand that no one wants to repeat themselves, but this is not a repetition, it is an improvement! The regret that was not achieved in "Strings Move My Heart" will be repaired in "Spring of the Cowherd Class",

Even go one step further! I believe that after a year, when you have nothing to do at night and take your family and children out for a walk, you will find that there are many people gathered together, singing praises under the leadership of the conductor.

God’s song, you can proudly say to your family that all this was created and changed by you. This will be the work that truly achieves your goal as an actor in your decades of acting!”

What a pity! I didn’t expect that only half a year later, all this storm would happen, but it was not created and changed by myself. This is such a regrettable and disappointing thing!

Not participating in Zhou Shaoming's film has become an eternal regret in Meryl's heart. She mentioned in interviews more than once how much she was disappointed by the unforeseen circumstances of the year.

"If Smith Chow invites you, don't hesitate to turn down all the movies and say yes!" Meryl gave heartfelt advice to the juniors in the film industry in an interview.
Chapter completed!
