"Holy shit! Director Zhou won the award!"

"Oh my god! This is the first time in history. Director Zhou is the first Chinese director to win the Oscar for Best Screenplay, right?"

"What about "Overlord"? Didn't Chen Kai win..."

"That's the award for Best Foreign Language!"

"Yeah!"

"Best Screenplay Award, my God, after Chen Kai, are we going to have another international director in China?"

"Director Zhou is very important internationally, from Berlin before to Oscar now, my God!"

"The latest news is here, oh my god, Will Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Actor again!"

"Is this Will Smith's second Best Actor Award?"

"What did Will Smith say on the podium? Damn, he was criticizing Hollywood. What, he was going to star in Zhou Yang's new movie "Struggle"... He announced it on the stage on the spot!"

"..."

The Oscars ceremony is broadcast live.

However, the live broadcast in China is delayed by several minutes.

However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of Chinese movie fans and filmmakers. As soon as the broadcast started, countless viewers came in droves, even overwhelming the official live broadcast platform for a time.

There is no other reason, but there are Chinese directors at this Oscars ceremony!

Chinese director!

Yes!

He is a Chinese director, not a Chinese-American, let alone a Chinese-American, but an out-and-out Chinese director.

Chinese filmmakers have a very unique attachment to Oscars...

Ever since "Overlord" won the award, everyone thought that Chinese cinema was about to usher in its most glorious moment.

However, they never dreamed that "Overlord" would be the pinnacle.

Ten years!

In the past ten years, countless Chinese directors have participated in the Oscars every day with their works, but without exception, there has been no news!

Ten years later, a director named Zhou Yang emerged from humble circumstances and opened the door to Oscars.

However, even though he was nominated, no one was optimistic about him. The media who were friendly with Zhou Yang were careful to avoid any connection between Zhou Yang's "Saw" and "Fatal Crisis" for fear of causing any counter-effects.

Although many people hate Zhao Sicheng, they have to admit that Zhao Sicheng's "Fatal Crisis" has a high probability of winning the award!

After all, he is an American now!

But when Zhou Yang stood at the Oscars ceremony, everyone's eyes widened.

The entire film industry was almost in a state of shock!

……………………

When Zhou Yilin saw the news, his smiling expression suddenly froze.

Then, gradually disappeared.

He looked at Zhou Yang standing on the stage and gave a very simple acceptance speech...

He felt suffocated.

He lit a cigarette and watched Zhou Yang walk off the stage on the screen. Zhou Yang looked calm in the close-up.

He seemed to have returned to that day when Zhou Yang stood at the Berlin International Film Festival awards ceremony.

He saw Zhao Sicheng's angry look flashing away in the camera lens.

Who would have thought that Zhao Sicheng would be defeated, and completely defeated?

He had mixed feelings.

At this moment, his assistant walked in.

"Director Zhou, how should I write the draft?"

"How to write what?"

"Didn't we...want to praise Zhou Yang before? Now that Zhou Yang has won the award, we..."

"Nonsense, when did we praise Zhou Yang? Did I ask you to praise Zhou Yang? Did I say this? I had great confidence in Xiao Zhou from the beginning!" Zhou Yilin's expression changed and he became vicious.

Staring at the assistant.

"This..." The assistant's expression changed drastically, and then he nodded.

After the assistant left, Zhou Yilin took a deep breath, and his face instantly turned into a smiling expression. Then, he immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a "congratulations" text message to Zhou Yang.

After posting, he continued to stare at the screen as Revere Smith angrily criticized Oscar, and after announcing that he would join Zhou Yang's new movie "Struggle," his eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, he immediately called his assistant.

"Hello!"

"You must help me find out Zhou Yang's return itinerary. At the same time, tell President Feng that I will personally pick him up on behalf of the association!"

"Just do it! When did I go against Zhou Yang? The real quarrel with Zhou Yang was Director Zhao Sicheng, and of course other people from the Directors Guild. I didn't quarrel with Director Zhou..."

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yilin said this with a smile.

But in my heart, I wanted to replace this mindless assistant as soon as possible!

……………………

on the stage.

Will Smith said a lot of things angrily.

Under the light.

His face was very ugly and his expression was slightly distorted.

His throat was trembling, and his eyes were like a seriously injured lone wolf. He stared viciously at the group of white people sitting below, as if he wanted to tear them apart.

After watching for a while, he took the trophy, turned around and left the Oscar stage.

The camera immediately gave him a close-up.

His expression was cold, his head was lowered the whole time, and his originally dark skin seemed to have become darker at this moment!

The applause did not come for a long time. Everyone was stunned by Will Smith's sudden anger. They looked at it in disbelief that this gentle and elegant Will Smith would suddenly explode.

On the stage, host DeGeneres was obviously frightened as she watched Will Smith leave.

She held the microphone and looked pale in front of the camera. She didn't know what to say to make up for it for a long time.

This is the first time in Oscar history that a guest has criticized the audience on stage.

But not far away, the reporters were so excited that they almost jumped up. They frantically filmed Will Smith to record this thrilling scene.

They saw Will Smith coming to Zhou Yang's side and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder!

The camera on the stage immediately showed the relationship between the two.

In the camera, everyone saw Will Smith hugging Zhou Yang fiercely, and then said this in a very loud voice: "We will go with you!"

After finishing these words, there were sporadic applause and whistles from behind.

Some of the black actors applauded vigorously, and some even raised their middle fingers to the group of white people who had questioned Zhou Yang on the spot, and let out waves of disdainful boos.

The whole place was in an uproar.

Zhou Yang was confused!

Completely confused.

He never dreamed that things would develop like this.

He originally wanted to win the award and then return to China in a low-key manner, and then come back to the United States after the racial conflicts subsided a little.

After all, in such an occasion, it would be very dangerous for him, a Chinese, to stay here, and he did not want to fall deeper and deeper into the vortex of racial strife.

This is very detrimental to him. He is just a director who makes movies. He really doesn’t want to be a pioneer, let alone a “fighter!” or “hero!”

That would kill people.

but!

It's all too late now.

Obviously, no one gave him a chance!

Will Smith stood on the stage and not only reprimanded those white people who questioned and thought they were superior to others, but also pushed himself to the forefront of the limelight.

After a brief interlude, the 79th Academy Awards ceremony continued to announce the next Best Actress award.

Vaguely, Zhou Yang still heard all kinds of voices, and saw the reporters who almost put the camera and microphone to his mouth.

His brain was buzzing.
