Upset, the first real upset happened tonight! beyond everyone's expectations！
Among the five nominees for Newcomer of the Year, the Grammy chose Renly, who is the youngest, most junior, and least experienced; at the same time, the Grammy also chose Renly, who has gradually disappeared, is on the verge of extinction, and is struggling in recent years. ballad.
In fact, this should not be an accident, everything is traceable.

Firm determination and continued the market policy of rewarding the revival of folk songs——
From Bon-Iver, to the Civil War, to the Mumford Sons and the Fosters, and finally to Renly Hall, the overall rise of independent folk has become one of the important themes of the Grammys this year. If not The topic of "Adele VS Bruno Mars" is too hot. I'm afraid that the biggest highlight of tonight will change hands..

The Grammys, which has been plagued by controversy in recent years, finally showed its courage and courage to reform, innovate, and take drastic measures..
Therefore, this is an unpopularity, but it is not an unpopularity either..
The moment of daze, astonishment, surprise, shock, panic, and confusion gradually dissipated, and joy and sighs surged in. The guests and audience clapped their hands politely while curiously looking for Renly's figure.——
This 22-year-old leader of Generation Y has become famous in Hollywood with his outstanding acting skills in the past two years, and has become the most popular actor among the new generation; tonight, cross-border Attended the Grammy Awards, shined at the nomination party as a dark horse, and shocked the awards ceremony with her stunning appearance！
The right time, the right place, the right people.
Everyone says that times make heroes, who make their debut at the right time and in the right way, and stand on the stage of history; but if we look back carefully at the history, we can find that flowers planted with intention do not bloom, but willows planted with no intention create shade. , everything is coincidence and luck; of course, there is also strength. "Don Quixote" inadvertently created history.
“Ahhhh! "Anne covered her mouth with both hands, but even so, the surprise and joy on her face could not be concealed, and screams continued to leak out from between her fingers, "Renly! Renly! Renly! "Anne just kept shouting. Apart from these words, it seemed that she could no longer make any other sound..
Alex jumped up directly, raised his hands high, and kept jumping on the spot like a kangaroo, "Renly, it's you, it's you! It's you!" He even turned his head and looked at the other person. Robin on the side shouted excitedly, "It's him! Renly won the prize! It's Renly！”
Renly did not hide his surprise. Compared with joy, it was mainly surprise. It was not modesty, nor was it polite. Renly truly felt the surprise..
If we say that the first award is the Best Alternative Album Award, to a certain extent, "Don Quixote" is indeed "alternative" enough. After winning the award, I was surprised, but also joyful and joyful. On. But now, Rookie of the Year? This is far beyond the scope of imagination. I have never had even a passing thought..
Renly hugged the two little guys next to him, then stood up and walked onto the stage under the gaze of the entire audience..
Compared with the first time he won the award, this time Renly could clearly feel the burning gaze, full of anticipation, excitement, surprise and excitement, all intertwined together, falling hot and turbulently on his skin. On the carpet, the unreality became more and more obvious, but the footsteps falling on the carpet became more and more clear..
Walking onto the stage, Renly smiled politely and nodded to John..
John came up with the gramophone trophy, hugged Renly in a gentlemanly and restrained manner, and patted Renly's shoulder gently, "Man, this is an incredible album! I'm serious, it's incredible!" A brief hug. In the meantime, John clearly expressed his shock and admiration, then handed the gramophone trophy to Renly with a smile on his face, took two steps back, raised his hands actively, and applauded.
The applause from the audience surged.
Renly's footsteps stopped in front of the microphone, listening to the thunderous applause of the audience, the look of surprise and astonishment lingering between his brows. There were too many names in his mind, and he had mixed feelings. The complicated emotions cannot be described in words at all. It is not even joy, but more moved..
“Three years ago, a friend named Stanley Charleson told me: Hey, little guy, you are a natural singer, you should get on the stage and show your charm." He held his hands tightly. Renly didn't know if it was his own imagination. Renly only felt that the weight of the trophy seemed to be heavier than before, and it was heavy in his palm. "My answer at the time was, no, I am an actor." No one wants to listen to my music unless it's karaoke.”
The teasing and joking tone caused a chuckle at the scene..
“Then, there was an old guy named George Strand, and he said, you have talent, and if you want, we can make an album; and then there was a little guy named Heather Cross, and she said , Renly, you are a good actor, but you can also be a good singer, because you will be a good artist..”
The smile on Renly's lips rose slightly, and in the audience, the two little guys, Alex and Annie, both quieted down, raised their heads, and looked at Renly quietly in the halo..
Although Renly was smiling at this time, Anne felt the sadness on Renly's body, which made Anne's eyes turn slightly red. Then, Anne felt someone holding her left hand. When she raised her head, Anne looked When he reached Alex who was wiping his tears, he showed a big smile and nodded encouragingly. Anne's left hand couldn't help but clenched..
“Huh, please forgive me. Apart from this moment, I guess I will never find another occasion where I can brag." Renly chuckled, and his self-deprecating tone made the crowd laugh, and some even started to brag in good faith. Whistle and shout, “This is your moment! You can brag as much as you want！”
Renly couldn't help but smile, lowered his eyes, and looked at the heavy gramophone trophy in his hand, "So, 'Don Quixote' was born. Not because of me, but because of Stanley Charleson, and because of George Strand." , because of Heather Cross, and of course Neil Toussaint and Herbert Jones. Because of this group of real Quixotes, they always persist in their dreams and music, creating this album.”
In front of the TV, Neil raised his hands high and shouted loudly, "Yoho! It's me, that's me! I'm Neil Toussaint!" His whole body was filled with excitement and excitement, like a gorilla. Beat your chest hard and vent your happiness and joy.
Stanley, who was sitting next to him, looked at the small screen quietly, picked up the whiskey at hand, and took a sip. This was probably how happiness was; while George lowered his head in embarrassment and pretended to start rolling a cigarette, but he was shaking. The fingertips and blurred vision revealed the true emotions in the heart..
“Standing in front of the album 'Don Quixote' and standing in front of this gramophone trophy, I feel so small and insignificant." Renly said in a deep voice, and the cry from the heart broke free for the first time. , shout out.
The power of dreams really made him small.
Once upon a time, he firmly believed that he was an actor and always regarded music as a hobby; but tonight, the victory of the "Don Quixote" album was like a heavy punch, hitting him hard in the abdomen. , in front of George, in front of Stanley, in front of Heather, in front of dreams, in front of Don Quixote, he felt his humbleness.
For the first time, Renly felt the meaning of what Heather and George said..
“"Don Quixote", this album condenses the ups and downs in his pursuit of his dream of being an actor, but it also achieves his core and soul as a singer. He is an actor and a singer; he is not an actor. Not a singer, but an artist.
All arts are connected.
“Pay tribute to George Strand, and pay tribute to Heather Cross." Renly's voice paused slightly for a moment. He knew that at this time, they were all watching the live broadcast in front of the TV; but there was one person who would never see it..
In an instant, the turbulent emotions dragged on the words and began to sink in. Renly had to tighten his fingers. He felt the edges of the gramophone in his palm, calmed down again, and continued, "Thank you to every Don Quixote." , and thank you to everyone who still insists on dreaming and pursuing dreams. This is a trophy that belongs to you, thank you！”
After saying that, Renly stopped where he was. There was still something he wanted to say, but he couldn't say it out. The turbulent emotions hit his chest, causing a dull pain. However, he finally calmed down, turned around, and left the stage..
The applause at the scene rang out again. A meaningful acceptance speech once again allowed people to see the soul of the "Don Quixote" album, and once again proved that Renly is definitely not a singer for playing tickets. How many people, Do you really understand the album "Don Quixote", or are you just joining in the fun?？
