2345 mixed feelings
“Ahhhhh！”
“God damn it！”
“Unbelievable! I really can't believe it！”
“what happened？”
“Damn it！”
“Ahhhhh！”
Boom, boom, boom, the entire news center was like a volcano erupting. Unbelievable energy burst out continuously and spread overwhelmingly. It was a mess, a complete mess. All the press releases written early had to be repeated. Writing, "Exploding Drummer"'s reversal was even more unexpected and sensational than "Birdman's" defeat of "Boyhood". Even though there were various signs tonight, it was still shocking at this time..
Not to mention, this is a historic moment！
On the contrary, Bradley Adams calmed down and quickly sat in front of the computer. His fingers were tapping rapidly like a storm to record. The inspiration that continuously burst out of his mind was recorded through his fingertips. The calmness on the surface could not be concealed. The excitement and excitement surged in the chest, and the eyes shined brightly.：
“After a long journey of eighty-seven years, I missed 'Brokeback Mountain' and I missed 'The Social Network', but this time Oscar finally didn't miss 'Breaking Drummer'’......”
As if sensing the warmth of a look, Bradley raised his head and glanced, and then he could see Gavin's face shining from the inside out. The enthusiasm and vitality seemed to be awakened from the blood again, and the whole person was young again. stood up, and immediately, Bradley lowered his head and got busy again.
And Gavin？
He was holding a voice recorder and recording the thoughts in his mind endlessly. This kind of excitement and excitement are emotions that you can never experience sitting in the office. For the office, the list of winners is just a list. , so light that I can’t feel much power; but being on the front line, the ups and downs, the impassionedness, the excitement, makes me really feel the weight of the turning point in history..
Touching his chest and feeling his heartbeat, he knew he was still alive and his blood was still hot..
The excitement in the News Center is shaking the entire building; and the excitement in the Dolby Theater is shaking the entire land..
Renly was standing in the lounge waiting for the results of the award to be announced. He looked slightly shocked and could not hide his surprise.——
He was more surprised than anyone else, sincerely. Not because he didn't believe in "Exploding Drummer", but because he understood that the conservatism of the academy could not be easily shaken..
According to the historical trajectory, until the 2016 US presidential election, the newly elected president offended all the liberal leftists in Hollywood. The remarks on Twitter that betrayed IQ even ignited the fire everywhere in Hollywood. It also completely changed the awards season landscape.——
First, "The Salesman" overturned "Tony Erdmann" to win the best foreign language film, and then "Moonlight" upset "La La Land" to win the best picture..
This is not to say that the artistic achievements of "Moonlight" are not enough. In fact, purely in terms of works, "Moonlight" and "La La Land" are indeed on par; but considering the conservatism and tradition of the academy, I chose "Moonlight". "City of Music" is the inevitable result, just like they chose "Birdman" tonight. Just because of the relationship between current events and the environment, the academy judges temporarily put aside their prejudices and obsessions and voted for "Moonlight". Boy" eventually made history.
But that was only once. In the following two years, the academy returned to its old ways again. "The Shape of Water" and "Green Book" were both choices to return to the traditional route..
In other words, times create heroes, and "Moonlight Boy" needs too many conditions to break the pattern, and now? The conditions are far from mature, and the victory of "Explosive Drummer" has a mysterious and miraculous color. Even Renly himself can't believe that "Explosive Drummer" actually won..
“"Ah ah ah" roared throughout the lounge. Renly felt that his eardrums were vibrating violently. The whole world was turning upside down. Countless figures in his sight were celebrating this historical moment with passion. Just like Andre finally broke through Fletcher's control.
The bustling crowd then escorted Renly to the stage, where he took the stage for the third time tonight, surrounded by crowds and cameras.——
He is the producer of "Blast Drummer".
When Renly appeared on the stage, the applause reached an incredible height. All the guests stood up without falling to the ground - maybe Harvey Weinstein was not there, but there was still only Sean on the stage. Alone, this made Renly a little panicked.
He stopped and waved in the direction of the "Crackling Drummer" crew members, motioning for them all to come on stage.
Originally, "Exploding Drummer" was a small crew; tonight, none of them expected the final result. The number of crew members present was not even double digits, but there is no doubt that they are the absolute core of the crew. Here, Behind a statuette, there is everyone’s sweat.
They deserve the spotlight.
“Come up, come up all." Renly greeted with a gesture, and then all the crew members of "Breaking Drummer" rushed up towards the stage, not hiding their excitement at all, and no one would blame them.——
Who would have thought that a work with an investment of three million US dollars and a new director who only shot his second feature film would be able to reach where he is today?？
Renly walked towards Sean and took the statuette trophy from the two-time Oscar winner. Then he had two trophies in his hand. Sean also joked, "If you can't win it, i can help.”
This made Renly laugh happily.
Turning around, Renly could see Damien who was crying. Renly took the initiative to step forward. After all, he couldn't bear it anymore and gave Damien a hug..
Damien just kept saying in Renly's ear, "Thank you. Thank you! Thank you.！”
Renly patted Damien gently on the back, "You deserve this..”
Renly handed the Best Picture statuette to Damien - after the award ceremony, each producer would win a statuette individually, but Sean only awarded one symbolically on the stage. Damien, who missed out on Best Director tonight, also won his second statuette again..
Renly gave up the microphone position to Damien, hoping that Damien would give the acceptance speech, and then he took the initiative to walk towards the crew members..
Andre also took the stage. As the CEO of Sisyphus Films, Andre is also named as a producer in "Breaking Drummer". A total of three producers can sign up to take the stage tonight to receive the award. Renly and Andre's name is on the list, and there's another one who's a producer at Sony Classics.
“How does it feel? "Renly asked Andre with a smile on his face. The first work produced and released by Sisyphus Films not only achieved a great success at the box office, but also topped the list at Sundance and Oscars, making history. Now you can Imagine how popular this independent film company will be.
Andre's eyes were also filled with smiles, "Tell me, will Arthur regret it?"？”
Renly and Andre both laughed..
Standing in front of the microphone, Damien's emotions were still surging fiercely, "God, oh, God." He still couldn't believe that his dream had come true, "Thank you to the college, thank you all. The most important thing is, Thank you Renly, thank you for your willingness to believe in a young man who has nothing but his dreams, thank you for your willingness to give me the opportunity to freely realize all my ideas, thank you for your willingness to give a wonderful performance in the movie.”
“I just...I really can't believe this is happening...Thank you to everyone on the 'Crackling Drummer' crew and everyone who helped me make this. One person, thank you, thank you Sisyphus Pictures for taking the risk and making this bold movie. I'm sorry, I don't know what I should say. I am the worst acceptance speech speaker in the world. I want to thank you. Justin, we have known each other since we were about 17 or 18 years old. Thank you for being willing to fight side by side with me. Thank you for being willing to believe in me. And my family, thank you for never giving up on me..”
Damien was so emotionally excited that his mind went completely blank and he was unable to organize his words effectively. However, he still finished his speech in fragments. Then he turned to look at Renly and shook his head repeatedly with tears streaming down his face. , seems to be begging Renly to save the day.
Renly waved his hand with a smile on his face and pushed Andre out..
There are too many starlight moments that belong to him tonight, and everything that should be said has been said, and there are more behind-the-scenes heroes in the "Breaking Drummer" crew who need to stand in the spotlight and receive their applause and glory..
For example, Andre Hamilton.
Andre didn't expect this scene at all, and he staggered forward, but he still maintained his elegant and handsome image, laughed happily, and said into the microphone, "Renly, what's your next move?" The investment in this work was officially announced to be gone with this push just now..”
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Andre stood in front of the microphone and paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts, "To be honest, I didn't expect this scene at all. This was obviously an unexpected award, so I didn't prepare any acceptance speech. At this moment Standing here, there are only two sentences in my mind.”
“First sentence, Arthur Hall, you should attend the awards ceremony with us tonight.”
The audience was confused and had no idea what was going on, but Edith, who was standing in the audience, laughed happily. Thinking about it, Arthur's expression at this time should be very interesting..
“The second sentence is that my contribution to the work "Breaking Drummer" is very, very small. We should thank Damien Chazelle, and we should thank every staff member of the crew. They are the real heroes. And Me, I only did one thing: believe in the man named Renly Hall.”
Free and easy, bold, neat, refreshing.
It only took Andre thirty seconds to successfully show off his excellent charm. The aristocratic temperament exuding from the inside out was extremely charming. Then he showed a sexy smile and turned towards Applause came from Renly's direction, with a glint of pride in his eyes.：
The opportunity to trick Renly in such an open and honest way is a rare opportunity in a million years. How could Andre miss it so easily?？
Andre even took the lead and started cheering, "Renly! Renly! Renly！”
As a result, the other crew members of "Breaking Drummer" also started making noises and pushed Renly to the front. Renly had no chance to refuse..
Renly glanced at Andre, his face full of disgust and helplessness, as if he was saying: The award ceremony will eventually end..
Andre felt a chill in his back and backed away, hiding his figure in the crowd. Then he kept raising his voice and cheering, making Jake Gyllenhaal, Edith Hall and others in the audience follow him. Calling Renly's name should be the most lively moment at the Dolby Theater tonight.
Then Renly was in the spotlight again.
“Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you guys were tired of me, but I guess I still have a little bit of credit that hasn't been overdrawn." Renly took a deep breath, stood in front of the microphone, and still maintained his usual personable demeanor, making the scene emotive. chuckle.
But the passionate emotions are like thousands of butterflies flying in the chest. It is an indescribable special emotion, different from any other time before..
“My mind is blank now, I'm not sure what I should say, this is new to me, all this is strange to me, I am an actor, but I strongly question myself as a producer identity, so......”
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Renly's words were slightly interrupted, and he himself laughed, "So, I would like to dedicate this statuette to every member of the crew of 'Blast Drummer'. Thank you for your willingness to believe in me and your willingness to believe in Da Mean, let's work together to make this impossible; thank you Andre Hamilton for trusting me unconditionally and writing a check for this movie.”
“At the same time, I also hope to dedicate this statuette to every guest and academy judge present.......”
Ho ho ho！
The cheers at the scene interrupted Renly's words again, and applause and whistles came one after another..
“It’s you, it’s you who chose ‘Exploding Drummer’, it’s you who chose to take a bold risk, it’s you who chose to stick to your dreams, it’s you who chose to give it a try on the road of pursuing art like Andrew, it’s you who chose to break through the difficulties. I believe that art can still create miracles. Thank you for your honesty and bravery. Thank you for still being willing to believe in fools like me and Damien who believe in dreams..”
Applause, thunder！
Renly's eyes were slightly warm, but his smile bloomed wantonly.
“I pay tribute to every dreamer and every dreamer who loves art. I want to tell you that dreams are not easy, but the reason for this is precisely because of the beauty and confinement of dreams, which is the biggest enemy of the progress of human civilization; so , please continue to dream, please continue to maintain your original intention, please continue to pursue artistic exploration, do not be afraid and do not give up, because the dreams we are chasing now will become the fuel and soil for us to forge ahead. These are what we should write future.”
