1732 Crying uncontrollably
All eyes in the audience were sparsely focused on Renly..
Although he was slightly helpless in his inner thoughts, on the surface, Renly remained calm and unaffected in any way. For him, such a scene was just like a sprinkle of water, with almost no impact at all..
Renly turned his head calmly and cast his gaze at Damien and Simmons beside him - he was even more worried that these two people would be implicated. Unexpectedly but reasonably, both of them seemed a little absent-minded. His attention was so far away that he didn't even notice the focus of attention on the scene..
Simmons is lost.
Before the special jury award was awarded, Simmons and Renly had the highest calls for winning the award. There were even rumors that the two actors would replicate the miracle of "Crazy Love" and win awards at Sundance, and then go all the way. Heading towards the Oscar statuette, and finally completing the feat of dominating the awards season throughout the year.
Rumors are rumors, but Simmons still has some expectations. Deep down, he not only believes that this work may be a turning point in his entire career, but also believes that this work may very well be his peak. An excellent film Works that match your taste are definitely something you can come across but cannot seek..
But now that he has missed the Special Jury Award, even though it is not directly related to the Oscars season, Simmons can't help but start to think wildly, and his eyes and expression are slightly stiff. In the eyes of others, it is a loss that cannot be concealed..
Damien is nervous.
Because after the special jury awards are awarded, the next step is the final jury award. "Exploding Drummer" is undoubtedly one of the popular candidates, which also makes Damien unable to control his nervousness and urgency..
No one can truly understand the meaning of "Blast Drummer" to Damien: not only because this work is the brainchild of Damien who has been planning for five years, but before he met Renly, he was already at the end of his rope. ; Also because this work is a summary of Damien’s memories of his high school life, embodying his own obsession with artistic creation..
What’s more, Sundance has always been Damien’s dream showcase—a true mecca for independent filmmakers..
Even Renly couldn't fully understand Damien's mood, but he knew that Damien, who was waiting at the door on Oscar night, would never have made such a move if he hadn't been desperate. Only those who have truly stood at the bottom of the valley can understand the worry about gains and losses when approaching success..
As if aware of the warmth of the close sight, Damien turned his head subconsciously and saw Renly at a glance, but the focus and focus were wandering, revealing a trace of uncontrollable panic; then, Damien looked towards Renly smiled, but the stiff corners of his mouth made the smile look uglier than crying..
Renly didn't say anything more, he also showed a smile, gently nodded towards Damien, cheering for Damien, and then whispered softly, "Are you ready?" The award results were about to be announced. Got it.
Damien was speechless and moved his neck slightly, but because the neck muscles were too stiff, he couldn't accurately tell whether he was nodding or shaking his head. It was like a broken nodding doll. It was nervous and expectant. The look made Renly feel faintly excited..
Persistence and passion for dreams are always the most wonderful parts of life.
At this moment, Robert Redford has officially taken the stage to announce the final jury award. Sundance is not an Oscar or a Golden Globe, so there is no need to create suspense. Robert simply announced the result..
In the world cinema section, the Chilean film "Killing a Man" topped the drama department, while the Syrian film "Homecoming" dominated the documentary department..
In the main competition unit, the first to be announced is the documentary department. "Fuqiu", which has received numerous praises and hits during the entire film festival, successfully climbed to the top without any suspense. "Music Life", which previously won the Audience Choice Award, unfortunately failed. , the entire production team of "Fuqiu" hugged each other tightly, cheering and celebrating.
Even though it's not the Oscars, there's no doubting Sundance's importance to independent films.
Next announced is the plot department.
The Jury Prize in the documentary department and the Audience Choice Award are not consistent. Although there is no tradition in Sundance that the winner of the two awards is always the same work; but at this moment, the suspense of the grand prize in the drama department is suddenly obvious. Get up, can "Crack Drummer," who just won the Audience Choice Award, make it to the top?？
Robert looked at the audience with a smile, without creating too much suspense, but deliberately paused for a moment, which caused low complaints and complaints. Robert laughed proudly, and then directly announced the answer, "Jury Prize at the 30th Sundance Film Festival, Drama Division - 'Breaking Drummer'’！”
There is suspense, there is no suspense.
expected, unexpected.
No matter what, "Cracking Drummer" successfully won the Sundance Grand Prize. After the Audience Choice Award, it also won the Jury Prize, becoming the biggest winner of the 30th anniversary.！
This is also the second time Renly's solo starring work has won Sundance's top award.！
The audience burst into applause.
Damien was stunned for a moment, and then he clenched his fists heavily and couldn't help but cheered. He did not hide his excitement and excitement at all, and then he jumped up directly, as if there was something installed on the chair. Like a spring, he stood on the spot and kept clenching his fists. He passionately gave Renly a big hug, and then gave Simmons a big hug. The joy in his movements overflowed. Let others feel his full happiness sincerely.
After letting go of Simmons, Damien looked around, hugged Renly again, and said loudly amidst the applause of the audience, "I did it, I finally did it. Thank you! Renly, thank you!" He hugged Renly harder and harder, using all his strength to express his gratitude..
Renly couldn't help but laugh too, and patted Damien on the shoulder, "You deserve this. Come on stage quickly, Robert is waiting for you.".”
Only then did Damien panicked and let go of Renly, turned around and trotted onto the stage. He rushed towards Robert like he was riding a hot wheel and gave him a warm hug. His true feelings were revealed. The performance made all the guests laugh, and the applause 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 the applause, "Thank you. I mean , thank you Sundance, thank you Robert Redford, this is my dream, from the first day I started making movies, I dreamed of being able to stand on the Sundance stage.……”
Halfway through his words, without any warning, Damien's tears fell down and he interrupted his words..
Damien raised his hand in embarrassment, wiping away his tears in a panic, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I still feel that it's not real, and I can't control my emotions." He himself started to laugh first. , then said, "It is not an easy task to film this work. I have been waiting for this script and this project for five years. Looking back now, I don't even know how I survived those five years." , thanks Renly... ugh, I mean, thanks……”
I endured and endured, but in the end I still couldn't hold it back. Tears burst out again, my words were disrupted and torn into pieces, and I burst into tears..
Damien just stood there, with his head hanging down, crying bitterly. He held the trophy tightly in his arms, using all his strength, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it away, and then Letting the emotions collapse and release wantonly, the hot tears cannot be stopped at all.
That touching and bitter look makes people feel sad..
Many art creators present feel the same way. They are all waiting hard, waiting for the dark and endless torment to come to an end, waiting for their artistic creations to find a platform for display and even be recognized. At that moment, in the process of waiting, how many people chose to give up, how many people were completely defeated, and how many people just did nothing all their lives, and they didn’t even know whether their waiting was meaningful..
Maybe you can only find the answer when you look back on your life at the end of your life..
At this moment, looking at Damien crying bitterly on the stage, the sad resonance awakened everyone's inner feelings. Then, the applause rang again, sweeping the entire audience. , congratulations to Damien for winning the award, but more of a reward for Damien’s persistence..
Damien cried so uncontrollably, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered over the years..
After taking a deep breath, and then taking another deep breath, Damien finally stabilized his mood a little, and then Damien continued, "Thank you Renly, thank you for being willing to listen to my film plan as an unknown person, and thank you for being willing to believe in my talent and persistence. Without you, There would be no such movie. Thank you even more for your wonderful performance in the movie. I know that you have paid too much for this movie. You should stand here with me..”
Renly, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but have slightly red eyes. Damien's collapse and release had no formality at all, but it was so sincere and so touching, which reminded him again of the countless bumps in the road to his dream. , this is also the greatest thing about dreams: it makes life beautiful.
Facing Damien's thanks, Renly raised his hands and applauded in response.——
Pay tribute to every dreamer who works hard on the road of their dreams. Regardless of success or failure, in the proposition of life, they have taken the lead in winning the opportunity to prove themselves. No matter what the outcome, they are all winners.！
