Ang Lee: People with dreams can lift Oscar

A great love story. At that time, Ang was unemployed at home, responsible for taking the children to cook and other household chores, and family expenses depended on his wife's meager income. Li An once wanted to give up the film commission and seek to change the computer. And Anan’s wife perceives his depression; the next day, his wife left a sentence to Li An before going to work: “An, remember the dreams in your heart.” To love someone is to love his uniqueness and ideals.

In 1978, when I was preparing to apply for the drama film department at the University of Illinois, my father was very disgusted. He gave me a data: In Broadway, there are only 200 characters each year, but there are 50,000 people who want to compete together. A poor character. At that time, I insisted on my own way and decided to board the flight to the United States. The relationship between my father and me has deteriorated. I have not spoken more than one hundred words in the past 20 years!

However, after I graduated from the Film Academy a few years later, I finally understood my father’s pains. In the American film industry, it is easy to talk about a Chinese without any background. Since 1983, I have had a long and hopeless wait for more than six years. Most of the time, I have been helping the crew to look at equipment, do editing assistants, and chores like drama. The most painful experience was that he once took a script and ran more than thirty companies in two weeks, facing others' eyes and rejections again and again.

At that time, I was almost thirty years old. The ancients said: thirty. And I can't even stand on my own life, what should I do? Continue to wait, or give up the movie dream in my heart? Fortunately, my wife gave me timely encouragement.

My wife is my college classmate, but she is a biology student. After graduation, she worked as a drug researcher in a small local research lab. Her salary was very poor. At that time, we already had the eldest son, Li Han. In order to alleviate my inner guilt, I read all the housework, watch movies, write scripts, and took all the housework every day. I was responsible for buying food and cooking, taking the children, and cleaning up the house. Clean. I still remember that at that time, after dinner every evening, I sat at the door with my son and told the story to him while waiting for "a heroic hunter mother to bring home with her prey."

Such a life is very hurtful to a man. For a while, my parents asked my wife to give me a sum of money, so that I could take it to the Chinese restaurant, but also to support my family, but the strong wife refused and returned the money to the elderly. After I knew this, I thought about it for several nights and finally made up my mind: Maybe the movie dreams of this life are too far away from me, or face the reality.

Later, I went to the community college and watched it for a long time. Finally I reported a computer class with a sad heart. In the era when life was overwhelming, it seemed that only computers could give me a skill in the shortest possible time. I have been sluggish for a few days, and my wife soon discovered my abnormality. She carefully found the curriculum in my bag. That night, she didn't talk to me for a night.

The next day, before going to work, she got on the bus. Suddenly, she stood under the steps and turned around and told me one word at a time: "An, remember the dreams in your heart."

At that moment, my heart suddenly burst into a gust of wind, and those dreams that were about to disappear in mediocrity, like the morning sun, have been shot into my heart. When my wife got on the bus, I took out the curriculum in the bag and slowly tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can at the door.

Later, my script was sponsored by the Foundation. I started to pick up the camera myself. Later, some movies began to win international awards. At this time, the wife told me from the old things, she told me: "I have always believed that as long as a person has a strength, it is enough. Your strength is to make a movie. There are so many people who learn computers, and you are not bad." If you want to get the Oscar's little gold man, you must make sure you have a dream in your heart."

Today, I finally got the Xiaojin people. I feel that my patience and my wife's efforts have finally paid off, and at the same time, I have become more determined. I must go on the road of film.

Because, there is always a dream about movies in my heart.
