The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 1732: Crying

If there were seemingly no sights in the audience, they sparsely gathered towards Lan Li.

Although his inner thoughts were a little helpless, Lan Li was always calm on the surface and received no influence at all. For him, such a scene was just the degree of sprinkling water, and there was almost no influence at all.

Lan Li turned his head indifferently, and cast his sights on Damien and Simmons beside him-he was even more worried about the two people being implicated. Unexpectedly, but logically, both of them seemed a little absent-minded. Attention was already out of the sky, and he didn't even notice the focused sight on the scene.

Simmons is lost.

Before the jury's special awards were awarded, Simmons and Renly's voices were the highest, and there were even rumors that the two actors would copy the miracle of "crazy love" that year, and win the prize at Sundance, and then all the way. Towards the Oscar statuette, and finally complete the feat of still dominating the awards season throughout the year.

Returning to the rumors, Simmons inevitably still has some expectations. Deep down, he not only thinks that this work may be a turning point in his entire career, but also that this work is most likely to be his peak. An excellent and tasteful work is definitely something you can meet but not ask for.

But now I missed the special jury award. Although there is no direct connection with the Oscars season, Simmons still inevitably starts to think about it, his eyes and expression are a little bit stiff. In the eyes of others, it is a loss that cannot be concealed.

Damien is nervous.

Because after the jury special award is awarded, the final jury award is next. "Burst Drummer" is undoubtedly one of the popular candidates, which also makes Damien unable to control his tension and urgency.

No one can really understand the meaning of "Blasting Drummer" to Damien: not only because this work is the brainchild of Damien after five years of going around and preparing for it, he has fallen into despair before he meets Lan Li. ; Also because this work is a summary of Damien's memories of his high school life, which embodies his own obsession with artistic creation.

What's more, Sundance has always been Damien's dream show stage-for independent film creators, this is the real holy land.

Even Lan Li can’t fully understand Damien’s feelings 100%, but he knows that Damien, who was waiting at the door of Oscar’s night, would never make such a move if he were not desperate. of. Only those who really stand at the bottom of the valley can understand the kind of gains and losses when approaching success.

As if sensing the temperature of his close vision, Damien turned his head subconsciously and saw Lanly at a glance, but the focus and focal length were wandering, revealing a trace of uncontrollable panic; then, Damien turned towards Lan Li pulled out a smile, but the stiff corners of his mouth made the arc of the smile worse than crying.

Lan Li didn't say much, he also showed a smile, and gestured towards Damien with his jaw slightly, cheering for Damien, and then whispered softly, "Are you ready?" The award result was about to be announced. Up.

Damien was speechless and moved his neck slightly, but because the neck muscles were too stiff, it was impossible to tell exactly whether he was nodding or shaking his head, just like a broken nodding doll. That kind of nervousness and expectation made Lan Li's mood faintly excited.

Perseverance and passion for dreams are always the most beautiful part of life.

At this time, Robert Redford has officially stepped on stage to announce the final jury award. Sundance is not an Oscar or Golden Globe. There is no need to create suspense. Robert simply announced the result.

In the world film unit, the Chilean film "Kill a Person" topped the plot department, while the Syrian film "Homecoming Holmes" took the lead in the documentary department.

In the main competition unit, the documentary department was the first to be announced. During the entire film festival, "Fuqiu", who received countless praise and popularity, successfully reached the top without any suspense. "Music Life", who had previously won the Audience Choice Award, unfortunately lost , The entire production team of "Fuqiu" hugged together, cheering and celebrating.

Although this is not an Oscar, there is no doubt about the importance of Sundance to independent films.

The next announcement was the plot department.

The Jury Award of the Documentary Department and the Audience Choice Award are not consistent. Although Sundance does not have traditional predictions, the winners of the two awards are always the same work; but at this moment, the suspense of the awards of the drama department is suddenly obvious. Get up, can the "Burst Drummer" who just won the Audience Choice Award climb to the top?

Robert stared at the audience with a smile, did not create too much suspense, but intentionally paused for a while, which caused a low complaint and spit on the scene. Robert laughed triumphantly, and then directly announced the answer. "The Thirtieth Sundance Film Festival Jury Awards, the plot department-'Burst Drummer'!"

There is no suspense.

Unexpectedly unexpected.

In any case, "Blasting Drummer" successfully topped the Sundance Ultimate Award. After the Audience Choice Award, it captured the Jury Award and became the biggest winner of the 30th Anniversary!

This is also the second time that Lan Li's solo starring work has won Sundance's highest award!

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Damien was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists heavily, couldn't help but cheer, did not conceal his excitement and excitement, and then jumped up directly, just like it was installed on a chair Like a spring, standing in place, constantly clenching his fists with both hands, gave Lan Li a big hug with excitement, and then gave Simmons a big hug. The joy of gestures overflowed. Let others can truly feel his full happiness.

After releasing Simmons, Damien looked around, hugged Lan Li again, and shouted amidst the applause of the audience, "I did it, I finally did it. Thank you! Lan Li, thank you!" Hugging Lan Li harder and harder, using all his strength to express his gratitude.

Lan Li couldn't help but laughed and patted Damien on the shoulder, "You deserve it. Come on stage, Robert is waiting for you."

Damien then let go of Lan Li in a panic, turned around and trot all the way to the stage, rushing towards Robert as if he was stepping on a hot wheel, and gave him a warm hug. The true feelings were revealed. The performance made the guests laugh one after another, and the applause on the spot became more and more sensational.

After receiving the trophy from Robert, Damien stood in front of the microphone and looked at the audience in front of him with emotion. Through the halo, he quietly felt surrounded by applause, "Thank you. I mean. Thank you Sundance, thank you Robert Redford. This is my dream. From the first day I started shooting a movie, I dreamed of being able to stand on the stage of Sundance..."

Halfway through the words, Damien's tears slipped down without warning, interrupting his own words.

Damien raised his hand in embarrassment, wiped his tears in a panic, and said in a trembling voice, "Sorry, I still don't think it's real, and I can't control my emotions." He himself laughed first. , Then said, “It’s not an easy task to shoot this work. For this script and for this project, I waited for five years. Looking back now, I don’t even know how I survived those five years. Thank you, Lan Li...ooh, I mean, thank you..."

I endured and endured, but after all I couldn't hold it back, the tears broke again, and the words were disrupted to pieces, and he couldn't make a sound.

Damien stood on the spot like this, bowed his head and wept bitterly. He tightly and tightly hugged the trophy in his arms, exhausted all his strength, lest others would **** it away, and then Letting the emotions collapse and release wantonly, the hot tears couldn't stop at all.

The touching and bitter appearance made people feel sad.

Many art creators present felt the same. They are all waiting hard, waiting for the dark and endless suffering to come to the end~lightnovelpub.net~ waiting for their artistic creation to be found. The display platform and even the moment of recognition, in the process of waiting, how many people choose to give up, how many people are completely defeated, and how many people just do nothing for a lifetime. They don't even know whether their waiting is meaningful.

Maybe only at the end of life, looking back on your own life, will you be able to find the answer.

At this moment, watching Damien, who was crying and crying on the stage, the sad resonance awakened everyone's deep emotions. As a result, the applause rang out again, sweeping the audience mightily. Congratulations to Damien for winning the prize, but more to praise Damien for his persistence.

Damien wailed so badly, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances over the years.

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, and finally stabilize a little. Damien then continued, "Thank you, Lan Li, thank you for listening to my nameless movie plan, and thank you for your willingness to believe in my talent and persistence. Without you, There is no such movie. Thank you for your wonderful performance in the movie. I know that you have paid so much for this movie. You should stand here with me."

Lan Li sitting in the auditorium couldn’t help but his eyes flushed slightly, Damien’s collapse and release, without any manners at all, was so sincere and touching, it reminded him again of the countless bumps on the road to his dream. , This is also the greatest dream place: it makes life better.

Facing Damien’s gratitude, Lan Li raised his hands, applauded, and responded——

Pay tribute to every dreamer who has worked **** the road of dreams. Whether they succeed or fail, in the proposition of life, they have been the first to win the opportunity to prove themselves. No matter what the result is, they are the winners!
