Damien, standing on the stage crying bitterly, looked very embarrassed and embarrassed, all emotions were displayed in front of the audience, his fragility, his struggle, his joy and his happiness, all of them They are all so real and so heavy, pressing heavily on their shoulders.

"At the time I shot this work, it was just an idea, I hope"

Damien's emotions were finally reorganized, and with a deep cry, he went upside down and incoherently continued to express his award-winning testimonials; sitting under the stage, Lan Li was a little fascinated, watching Dammy like this. Well, I also felt a touch of joy while I was overjoyed.

The impression of Damien in the previous life has always remained at the stage where he has won the praise of the entire Hollywood by virtue of the "City of Philharmonic". Behind the shyness of being unspoken and social is the dull otaku who devoted himself to artistic creation. The confidence and firmness deep in my heart can flow through the lens.

But those are just glimpses of light outlined under the spotlight.

Damien in front of him overturned those fixed impressions, revealing the fragility and youthfulness of his heart. On the road of chasing dreams and becoming an art creator, he walked hard step by step; in the distant In the future, Damien will eventually be able to fit into the orbit of the previous life and become the focus of much attention under the spotlight, but on this road, those bumps and tribulations are blurred in the dazzling light.

In Damien's nearly collapsed acceptance speech, the 30th Sundance Film Festival finally came to an end.

"Blasting Drummer" won the Jury Award and Audience Choice Award. It has both gained the love of professionals and ordinary audiences, and has undoubtedly become the biggest winner of this year's film festival. It can be foreseen now that thanks to the blessings of Lanli and the support of Sony Classics, this work will inevitably attract more attention after its release; as for the prospects of the awards season, it depends on the operation of Sony Classics.

After the award ceremony ended, the bustling heat wave continued for nearly an hour. The guests present lively discussing and chatting with each other, and the atmosphere is full of joy and joy.

As the biggest winner tonight, Damien naturally became the focus of the audience. The constant flow of people was dazzling. He didn't even have time to sort out his emotions, and then fell into one after another circle of encirclement. After the ceremony, there is not much difference between Sundance and the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Damien finally found the gap, secretly left the scene, left the noisy and crowded indoor environment, and rammed into the cold and cold outside, the fresh air poured into the dull lungs, despite the chills one after another. One, but I can finally feel the fresh air, and this is the breath I feel again.

Then Damien saw Lan Li.

At this moment, Lan Li was standing not far from the main venue. Two young people who looked like fan audiences stood in front of them. A faint chuckle could be heard during the conversation, and the harmonious atmosphere was like gurgling hot spring water. Normally loud, with a touch of warmth in the tranquility, which made Damien tilt his head and watch quietly. It seems that Lan Li always possesses such a magical power to make the blade of time gentle.

The two young men did not stay for long, and waved goodbye to Lan Li with brisk steps. Lan Li was single again.

Damien took a step forward. When he came to Lan Li, he realized that he didn't know what to say, he just wanted to get closer to Lan Li, and then he did so.

Lan Li turned his head and cast his gaze, showing a smile, "Is the party over?"

Damien shook his head helplessly, trying to complain that Lan Li had left him behind, but he couldn't say what he complained. He could only release the laser towards Lan Li with an extremely resentful gaze.

Lan Li’s smile rose more and more, "You should learn to adapt. After the movie is released, there are more similar occasions, and today can only be regarded as an elementary level. If Sony Classic is preparing for the awards season, then the situation is even more serious. Maybe you have to go to two or three parties in one night."

"What about you?" Damien's eyes widened and looked at Lan Li in disbelief.

Lan Li didn't answer, but gave Damien a meaningful look, and a smug look glided across his eyes.

Damien immediately caught the look in Lan Li’s eyes, and said dumbfounded, "Are you showing off?" After speaking, he muttered to himself, "I thought I could share the burden together? It’s like this, why you can be lazy and I have to be there. I’m not good at it. I don’t know what to do. Really I think you are more suitable than me.” The mumbling vague words are between my lips and teeth. After the collision, I couldn't tell at all, and after I finished complaining to myself, I felt more comfortable.

Suddenly it became quiet.

The pale yellow street lights supported the dark night sky without snowflakes, but a biting chill continued to float in the air, slightly stinging the exposed skin, and the world calmed down like this.

"I'm separating."

Damien spoke suddenly. He didn't intend to mention it. It was his personal matter, and he didn't think it was necessary to mention it specifically; but there was an impulse just now, and then he said it like this. Surprisingly, he thought he would be uncomfortable, but he actually relaxed.

"None of us want to get to this point. We all tried to solve the problem. But after all we were not able to succeed. I moved out at Christmas."

Damien continued talking calmly. There was no ins and outs, no ins and outs, no special subject and pronouns, just like this; and Lan Li did not comment, but just listened quietly.

Although Damien is not yet 30 years old this year, he has actually been married for more than three years.

Damien and his wife also met and socialized during their studies at Harvard University, just like Justin Hurwitz who made the soundtrack for "Burst Drummer". Jasmine-mcgde (jasmine-mcgde) is also a screenwriter and director, also struggling at the beginning of his career; in 2009, Damien's directorial debut "Guy and Ma on the Park Bench" "Delyn" is the script created by the two couples who were still dating at the time. Damien served as the director and Jasmine served as the producer.

After that, Jasmine also directed a feature film, "Maria, My Love", which was released in 2011, but unfortunately it failed to arouse any response.

In the past five years, Damien and Jasmine have been chasing their dreams, but they have also suffered continuous blows in the cruel reality. Before, Damien went to the night of Oscars to wait for the rabbits. He and Jie Simin have been forced into a dead end of life, and they are almost out of breath.

They are persevering, they are working hard, they are stubborn, but the dark tunnel of life can never see any light and hope, they are exhausting each other, and gradually fail to recognize who they are. , Even the emotion of maintaining each other has lost its flavor.

In the end, someone needs to make a choice, or compromise or give up or part ways.

At Christmas, the conflict between them broke out after all, hurting each other with bruises, and then fled like a bereaved dog.

Who is wrong? No one was wrong, but after all, he got to this point.

At the awards ceremony tonight, Damien fell apart because of Sundance and because of Jasmine: If this trophy can be advanced a year earlier, will things be different?

"When I was standing on stage tonight, I was full of the last scene of'Crazy Love'." Damien's words were stained with the cold and loneliness of the night, and the deep loss was lingering, "Jacob and Anna came together after all, but both sides were exhausted, neither of them knew whether their choice was correct."

On Jacob and Anna, he saw the projection of himself and Jasmine, and his emotions were completely broken.

Lan Li turned his head to look at Damien, "With regard to feelings, there has never been a right or wrong choice. I just look for the moments of missed and reunion in each other's lives, and then take the most beautiful, painful and intense times Staying in the memory, this is all~lightnovelpub.net~ Damien rubbed his head vigorously, and the instant noodle-style curly hair became more and more messy, "I know, I just can’t help but I thought, if the "Blast Drummer" was sure to start shooting, Jasmine would believe me more and believe that this work would be a success; or, if I made a short film of the "Blast Drummer" at Sundance Once we find the investment, our life pressure can be relieved"

Lan Li once again cast his gaze into the distance, staring at the dim light at the far end, "So, if you can really come back, will you choose to give up your dream? Or, will you still choose to become a director? "

Damien was so stunned, countless possibilities emerged in his mind, but after all he couldn't find the answer, and his smile became bitter. "I now finally know why everyone likes Hollywood movies, because Everyone likes a "always happy and happy" ending, just like a fairy tale."

"Isn't this the reason everyone likes movies? Because movies are the real dream-making tool." Lan Li said with a smile.

"Dream." Damien whispered softly, "Dream making dreams making dreams" and then he turned his head to look at Lan Li, "You know, I was writing a script before creating the'Blasting Drummer'. Using the story of Jasmine and I as a prototype, it tells the story of two young people who pursued their artistic dreams in New York. Unfortunately, no one is optimistic about this script because it is too self and too much"

Damien paused suddenly, "Huh, anyway, I suspended the writing of that script, and then I went to Los Angeles, and then I met you. The script still lacks an ending, but I now know how to end it. Yes. I thought, when I went back and finished writing the script, would you like to act in this work?"
