371 The big prize is in hand
The short acceptance speech was full of Renly's love for movies and the emotion of never forgetting his original intention..
In this moment, Renly finally had a tangible sense of reality. This was Sundance, the only Sundance..
More importantly than the trophy, his dream has finally been affirmed, not because his acting skills have been recognized, but because here he can find countless dreamers who have been abandoned by society, denied by others, Dreamers who are tortured by life and struck by reality are all walking alone on the road of dreams, but they are not afraid of failure, loneliness, or injury, and they just sprint forward unswervingly..
No one knows when the steps will stop, and no one knows what the scenery will be at the end, but before exhaustion, they must try their best and shed every drop of sweat and blood in their bodies. We work hard not to change this society, But in order not to let this society change us, every dream should be respected.
He is not alone on this road.
After walking off the stage, the applause rang out again. This time, it was not for Renly, but for Robert Redford. This respected director and actor - and the founder of Sundance, every year Showing up in Park City always earns you the highest respect. Tonight was no exception..
Renly returned to his seat. The members of the "Crazy Love" crew were all paying attention to him, with excited smiles on their faces. They looked even more excited than Renly, the person involved..
Jennifer looked at the trophy in Renly's hand with envy, then raised her chin stubbornly and said stiffly, "I'm not envious, I'm not envious at all..”
That look made Renly laugh, "I believe you will win your own trophy soon.".”
Jennifer nodded seriously and said without hesitation, "Of course!" Her eyes shone with confidence and unswerving light, her expression was high, and her whole person became brighter..
As he spoke, the applause gradually subsided, and Robert spoke into the microphone and said, "It's the end of the year again, and every time, my mood is always very complicated. On the one hand, I am looking forward to more excellent works emerging next year. ;On the one hand, I am feeling disappointed. This year’s carnival is over..”
“I like what Renly Hall said just now." Robert unexpectedly named him, which made the audience burst into applause again. The crew of "Crazy Love" even whistled directly, "Thank you to everyone who loves movies. Yes, thank you to everyone who still perseveres in creating, and thank everyone who still tirelessly supports movies. It is our honor to be able to gather here and discuss our favorite movies..”
“Next, it’s time to hand out awards.” Robert raised the envelope in his hand and waved it gently. The atmosphere at the scene slowly settled down, and behind the noise, it began to become tense. “A lot of things have emerged this year. The works are impressive and dazzling. There are at least five works that I personally like very much. Fortunately, I am not the one who needs to make a decision..”
The Sundance Film Festival, like the three major European film festivals, has a jury composed of six judges to select the final awards. The jury will be replaced every year to ensure fairness..
After a simple opening, Robert did not continue to sell the truth and directly revealed the answer. In the world category, "Happy Housewife" won the grand prize for feature films, while "Forever Car God" achieved the triple crown feat - — Sweeping the three trophies of the Jury Prize, Director Award, and Audience Award, he undoubtedly became the biggest winner in the documentary department..
2009In 2016, "Precious" took away the three trophies of the Jury Grand Prix, the Special Jury Award, and the Audience Award. From then on, it made great progress, winning the Toronto People's Choice Award in one go, and finally successfully harvested it at the Oscars. Two statuettes for Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Now, the "Forever Car God" seems to be replicating the original development trajectory of "Zhenai", which is very exciting..
Subsequently, in the local section, "The Man From Hell" won the Jury Prize for Documentary, which also made people realize that Sundance is really coming to an end, and now there is only one last award left: Grand Jury Prize, Feature Film Division.
Although the development of the Sundance Film Festival is becoming more and more complete and there are more and more awards, the top priority has never changed. When people mention Sundance, the feature film department of the Jury Prize It is the only focus, just like the People's Choice Award in Toronto. This represents the highest level of Sundance that year. There is no doubt that.
The so-called "Jury Prize" refers specifically to the Jury Prize in the feature film department.！
If you can win this award, it can only be regarded as one of the additional effects by continuing the momentum of the award winners in the previous three years to enter the Oscar sprint stage; more importantly, the award winners will win more attention and gain more space. Whether you use this as a starting point to enter the vision of large film companies, or rely on the advantage of a halo to get more sponsorship and complete your ideal work, it will be twice the result with half the effort..
That's a nod from Sundance.
So, who will reach the top this year? "Crazy in love"? Or "Tyrannosaurus"? Or is it "Double-Faced Masha"? Or is it the "family environment" that unexpectedly won the Audience Award? There is also "Asylum Seeking", which is highly recognized but has not won an award yet.”？
Sundance, which seemed calm, ushered in a climax of chaos this year. Now, the answer lies in the envelope in Robert's hand, and his eyes suddenly became fiery..
Without any hesitation, Robert opened the envelope, glanced at it, and then raised his gaze triumphantly, "Oh, so it's this work." But for the rare occasion, he did not directly announce the result, but paused slightly. For a moment, this caused a low complaint to be heard on the scene, and Robert smiled even more happily, "Don't disturb me, I am enjoying one of the few privileges, let me digest it first.”
The relaxed and humorous tone made the laughter echo in the screening room..
“Very good, the winner of the Jury Prize at the 27th Sundance Film Festival is..." After enjoying it, Robert spoke again, paused, looked down at the card, and confirmed the answer again, Then in one go, "'Love is crazy’！”
The scene went blank for a second, and then the applause was like a tsunami, rising from far to near. The roar stirred up echo after echo in the screening room, rushing in from all directions, shaking the people violently. The foundation of the entire screening room began to shake, and the world began to shake; the crowds of people standing up in sight were black and dense, like a vast ocean, boundless..
“Love like crazy”, this year’s winner of the Jury Prize is “Love like crazy”! Like crazy.
Renly stood up, and then saw Jennifer jumping up, raising her right hand high, looking at Renly with energetic eyes, but Renly pretended not to see it, looked past Jennifer, and saw the person who was trapped in the scene. Drake was in a state of panic, with unbelievable shock and astonishment written all over his face. His open jaw seemed to be dislocated and could not be closed at all..
As soon as he glanced out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Jennifer still raising her right hand, her excited smile showed no signs of frustration, and she was looking at Renly intently. Renly shook his head helplessly, and then also raised his right hand. Jennifer went to He took a sudden step forward, then jumped up, hit Renly's right hand hard, and completed the gesture of high-fiving..
“The sound was crisp and loud, but it was instantly drowned in the applause from the scene..
After Jennifer passed Renly, she high-fived Felicity and Charlie respectively, and finally walked around to Derek, applauding with admiration on her face and giving her high respect..
Renly saw that Drake was in a daze, as if his brain had stopped functioning. He had no choice but to step forward, patted Drake on the shoulder, and shouted into his ear, "Drake, come up to the stage and take the lead." award！”
However, Derek's reaction was still a few beats slow. Finally, Jennifer, Felicity, Charlie and others also came over, joined Renly, and slapped Derek's back crazily. The sharp movement made a dull thud, and Drake felt a burst of pain. He jumped up with a grin on his face, and ran onto the stage as if fleeing. His embarrassed look made the audience burst into laughter..
After receiving the trophy from Robert, Drake looked at it carefully and couldn't put it down. His eyes stayed on the trophy for a long time. However, the audience was not in a hurry. No one urged Drake to hurry up and give his acceptance speech. , everyone stared at Drake quietly, and seemed to be able to clearly feel the turbulent emotions on Drake's body..
After a long time, Drake finally said, "Sorry, I was a little rude. I was just a little surprised that I would be standing here to receive the jury award." Drake's words were inevitably a bit sad, and his eyes could not help but smile slightly. blushing, "This is a very special and very personal film. I sincerely hope that someone can see it, and I also hope that everyone else who sees this film can seize the opportunity and seize every moment." moment, don’t miss that person.”
Caught off guard, Drake choked up and his tears fell down. He had to take two deep breaths before continuing, "Thank you Sundance for giving me a platform to show myself. Otherwise, this movie It's nothing more than the ravings of an idiot. Thank you Ben York Jones for working with me to complete the script. Thank you Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, and Charlie Bray. Thank you for accompanying me to complete this work..”
After a slight pause, Drake wiped the tears from his cheeks awkwardly, "Finally, thank you Renly Hall. Thank you for giving this movie the soul, and thank you for writing the ending theme for the movie. And thank you for not I pushed for remuneration and risked working for free to complete this work. Thank you.”
At the end of the speech, the crowd burst into laughter. Drake himself burst into laughter. He took a deep breath and then raised the trophy in his hand, all without saying a word..
Tonight, like crazy.
