2335 incoherent
“‘Explosive Drummer', Damien Chazelle.”
The voice of Julie Andrews revealing the answer came from the speakers. At this time, Damien, who was sitting in his seat, froze in place. He tried to stand up, but found that he fell into the chair in embarrassment. I can't move, even my brain has stopped moving..
“Damien! God, Damien！”
“Dude, you got a prize.！”
“Congratulations, Damien Hey Damien！”
Countless voices were lingering in his ears, and each word was clearly presented in his mind, but Damien was unable to react in any way..
In the end, it was JK Simmons who hugged Damien forcefully, breaking the deadlock of time and space, and his sluggish thoughts began to move again..
Looking up, Damien could see many of the guests around him standing up. Jake Gyllenhaal, Edith Hall, Ethan Hawke, etc., all of them were smiling. Staring at himself, he offered blessings with applause. Those bright eyes condensed the sense of reality little by little. It seemed that he could feel the heavy sinking feeling in his stomach, and then the complicated emotions just burst out..
In a daze, Damien, surrounded by the crowd, walked onto the stage with slow steps. His feet felt like stepping on cotton. He didn't even know how he got from his seat to the stage. The excitement of thousands of fireworks blooming in unison is colliding unreasonably.
It wasn't until I took over the Little Golden Man trophy from Julie's hand that the cold and heavy touch became more real than ever before. Then the adrenaline exploded and my vision gradually became clearer, penetrating the layer of stage lighting. The light curtain brought all the guests into view.
He noticed the crew members of "Breaking Drummer". Because the entire crew were unknown blue-collar workers in the industry, they were placed at the back and were easily lost in the sea of people in the audience; but this time At this time, they all stood up, cheered, jumped, clapped, and celebrated. In such a simple and enthusiastic way, they waved the flag for Damien and warmly celebrated this important moment..
“Thank you, thank you very much.”
Damien finally found his voice, but the slight tremor still revealed the nervousness deep inside..
“Thank you Julie Andrews for presenting me with the award. I...I need to give all my love and kisses to the cast and crew of 'Blast Drummer'. Thank you. Thank you for following me through this journey full of unknowns. and challenging journey, and thank you for not turning away when I was full of frustration..”
Damien's speech speed was obviously much faster than usual, and the excitement of accelerated heartbeat was circulating in his blood vessels. He held the statuette tightly so that his fingertips could not help but tremble slightly. That kind of trembling spread throughout the body, but it couldn't stop.
“Uh, I mean... well, here's the thing, I know dreams aren't easy, and two years ago at this moment, I was walking down the Sunset Strip and I couldn't find any hope, couldn't see anything Target, I didn’t know what to do, it was as if the whole world had fallen into darkness, and no one knew where the light was. I began to question myself, whether I was not suitable for movies, and whether I should leave the movie industry and find a job. A...more stable job to ensure my partner can see milk and bread appear in our refrigerator.”
“Then I met Renly Hall.”
Damien's choked voice had a thick nasal sound, and even the slight trembling could no longer be hidden. When the name "Renly" sounded again, many guests present applauded, which made Damien His eyes could not help but turn slightly red..
“Renly is not in his position now. Sorry, I don’t know where he is at the moment; but I know that he has not and will never leave. It was Renly who told me that chasing dreams is a lonely and difficult journey, but fortunately, I Not a person, he is not a person - we all thought we were Don Quixote, facing the windmill giant alone, he told me that he was Don Quixote, just like me, we are all Don Quixote , we are not alone. In this long and dark road, we can walk side by side looking at each other, looking for our own dawn..”
“At this moment, I stand here, on the stage of the Dolby Theater, living in my dream. The words Renly told me back then, I hope to convey to every dreamer who is watching the live broadcast. , and every Don Quixote who is walking alone, you are not alone, please hold on! Please keep fighting! Please continue to be Don Quixote! For your own sake! Waiting for one day in the future, it will be your turn to stand in this position. Please continue to convey these words, so that dreams can light up our ordinary lives.！”
“Thank you, thank you very much！”
thunderous applause！
standing ovation！
Starting from the crew of "Exploding Drummer", the guests stood up one after another and paid their highest respects with thunderous applause..
Bob Weinstein is not sure how he feels. "The Imitation Game" still lost the most important and promising award. They worked hard for nearly five months and even once led the competition for Best Picture. Fighting, and ultimately returning empty-handed, it is impossible not to regret.
But this is all a strategic choice made by Harvey Weinstein, and Bob has no way of knowing what the consequences of this choice will be..
Turning his head, Bob saw Harvey standing up calmly and applauding Damien, showing a broad-mindedness that had gone through countless ups and downs, and seemed not to care at all about the failure of "The Imitation Game" - or rather , he really doesn't care.
Bob only slowed down for half a beat, then stood up and joined the applause..
Harvey seemed to sense Bob's worries and confusion, or maybe he just wanted to share. He turned his head and mouthed to Bob, "Sure." There was a hint of pride and pride in it. Cheerful, the hearty smile on the corner of the mouth is fully blooming, but what really reveals the emotion is the slight sparkle of excitement in the eyes..
Bob understands what Harvey means: Best Actor, Eddie should be guaranteed.
The principle of judgment is not complicated. Judging from the overall trend of the second stage, "Birdman" and "Boyhood" compete equally, and the best film should be born between the two works; and "Explosion Drummer" does have a strong impact But it also hits the bottom line of the Academy judges, which puts the work in a dilemma. It seems that taking a step forward to compete for the best picture cannot satisfy the Academy judges, but it seems too pity to take a step back and be ignored.——
In the end, when the Academy judges vote, the subtle changes in mentality are likely to give compensation in the minor awards, while the key awards may choose other works, either "Birdman" or "Boyhood", or other works to ensure "explosion" "The Drummer" can fall below the best picture and above the average work..
This is a vague concept, no one can be 100% sure, but the upset of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award allowed Harvey to confirm his guess and reasoning.
Bob could see the pride in Harvey's eyes, and he seemed to be ready to celebrate Renly's failure and embarrassment, but now Bob was unsure whether he wanted to see Renly stumble more, or whether he wanted to see Harvey hit the wall. Woolen cloth？
Whether supporters or opponents, everyone is looking for Renly. So, where is Renly at this time?？
Renly was standing at the side stage waiting for his flight. Damien's emotional acceptance speech made him feel emotional.——
For Damien, Renly helped him realize his dream. "Breaking Drummer" was successfully filmed and further sublimated on the core of the theme, which allowed his film career to continue; and for Renly He said that Damien brought him enlightenment and inspiration, and "Breaking Drummer" also became a new beginning for Sisyphus Films to shoulder its responsibilities and set sail..
They made each other successful.
This is also the most wonderful and unique place where dreams can light up life.
Renly also raised his hands and applauded Damien, paying tribute to every dreamer..
Amidst the roaring sound of the audience, Damien's footsteps still left gradually. When passing by the side stage, he was caught off guard and saw Renly who was applauding. His eyes were wide open and his face was full of astonishment, but he didn't know What should I say? All I can think about is, "Why are you here?"？”
Renly laughed happily, but did not answer Damien's question. Instead, he stepped forward and patted Damien on the shoulder, "This is the reward you deserve.".”
Damien's wet eyes couldn't help but turn red, and the emotions that he hadn't had time to calm down were raging, and he couldn't find a way to express them in a thousand words. He only had time to open his mouth, and then the staff urged, "We should let "Open the way", which left him completely confused..
Renly gave Damien a look and told him to go backstage first; Damien was pushed forward in confusion, and he still didn't understand why Renly was here..
But the answer will soon be revealed——
Renly will be the guest of honor tonight for Best Director.
As usual, last year's Best Director winner Alfonso Cuaron was supposed to present the award. However, due to personal matters at home, Alfonso confirmed early that he would not be able to attend this year's awards ceremony. To express his apology, Alfonso attended the nomination. Luncheon for list announcement, as special guest.
Alfonso's absence forced the Academy to find a more suitable award presenter. So, who else could be more suitable than Renly, who topped the 2014 ***power list? What's more, Renly himself is the leading actor of "Gravity", and he and Alfonso are also personal friends..
So, this is what happened.
Before Julie Andrews took the stage, Renly had already left his seat and came backstage to prepare for the awards. However, he accidentally missed the important moment of witnessing "Bangkong" winning the Best Adapted Screenplay award. The joy and happiness Before he had time to calm down, he was about to get ready to take the stage..
