From the center of the seat to the middle aisle, everyone stood up one after another, clapping or smiling, or clapping their shoulders in a friendly way to express congratulations. The short passage seemed to have no end. The turbulent crowd filled every corner of the sight, the bright light blurred the sight, and all the scenes turned into bright spots, but lost focus, Only a surging heat wave is left.
Under the feet of the pace as if stepping on the cotton in general, the brain has become a blank, just rely on instinct towards the front of the beam of spotlight. It's a long way to go. From the well planned childhood of the last life, we have gone through the youth years without laughter, fun and leisure, the sickbed life without moving, the claustrophobic and dark passage after death, the solid childhood of this life, and the unrestrained and free youth, Walking through the crossroads of disobedience and disintegration of parents
He finally came here.
"You can only rely on yourself. No one can help you. Dreams and freedom are the most useless things."
"You're not a genius. It's just an illusion. You're just one of thousands of ordinary people who do nothing. Don't daydream. It will only make your life more miserable."
"You have 15 minutes to rest. Don't play with those children. They are not good for your future. If you want, you can sit down and read books and relax your mind."
"It's a shame. Acting is not a dream, or even a profession. It's a shame for the family."
"... it can't be like this!"“ It's useless... "Reality doesn't allow dreams." "freedom and dreams are excuses for poor people to comfort themselves"... "No!"“ No“ "No!"“ Impossible! "
Cold and cruel words, like a sharp blade, stabbed him hard, black and blue, scarred.
Life of two generations is as long as a nightmare that never wakes up, but it is as short as a drop in the ocean, one step at a time. He is like Sisyphus in Greek mythology, pushing heavy boulders, carrying one negation after another, tireless, reckless, persistent, stupid, bloody, repeating and repeating, just looking forward to one day, It can push huge rocks down to the top of the mountain. Along the way, he hobbled and wept blood.
Not to prove themselves, just to prove that life is not only cruel reality, there are stupid dreams; To prove that life can have other meanings besides "being alive".
He knew that the Emmy was just the first step, a trivial first step, but he finally took the first step, didn't he? Waiting for two lives, really long time.
"Congratulations Tina Fay stepped forward, gave lenley a polite hug, stepped back, showed a bright smile, and said sincerely again, "Congratulations!"
Lan Li took the cup in both hands and looked at it carefully. The slender woman hugged an atom, and the Muse flying freely in the flowing light. In my mind, I heard the ultimatum from my parents a year ago, "stupid insistence". My mood suddenly surged up, and I couldn't defend myself. The golden trophy blurred my vision and covered the whole world with a golden halo.
He raised his head. In the hazy halo, the applause gradually fell down, but the dazzling stars were shining. He opened his mouth, but his voice was stuck in his throat, only choking out a fuzzy syllable. His mood was too turbulent, and he smashed it unreasonably. Even Lan Li himself was at a loss, At this moment, his self-cultivation, which he has learned for 20 years, has been gradually defeated, and his reason has completely surrendered.
It's all so strange.
He thought he would be very rational and calm, he thought he would show his gentlemanly demeanor leisurely, he thought he would control the audience with humor, he thought he would understate and accept the award with confidence, as if everything was expected. He thought he didn't care.
But imagination is always just imagination. When things really happen, when you are in it, all the expectations are suddenly smashed, just like a tornado coming. All the common sense, all the laws and all the rules no longer work.
With the right hand closed, the cold metal texture seems to have been warmed by the heat of the palm, and the strong heart beat hard against the chest, as if it would burst into flowers at any time. The feeling of floating away from the ground makes people at a loss.
Take a deep breath, "... It's really a surprise, and it's even more an accident. I think I need time to calm down, or my nose will come out." Lan Li pretended to make fun of him easily, but the thick nasal voice revealed the tears he was suppressing at the moment, and he couldn't help laughing, which was too embarrassed, and a burst of laughter came from the audience.
"Al, I'm sorry. I'm standing here." Lanli looked at Al Pacino in the front row and nodded. Al was amused by this sentence, shook his head, raised his hand and gave lanli a middle finger. When the guests nearby saw this scene, they all laughed, "Oh, I'm not sure what to say at this time, because my mind is so blank that I can't even remember the name of the show, God, I still have a lot of people to thank. Now I finally know why everyone should write the acceptance speech in advance. "
There was a trace of irony in the self ridicule, and many guests whistled to show their agreement. The atmosphere at the scene was much hotter than expected, "well... I'm not a genius." This is the only voice in Langley's mind at this time. It comes from George's cruel conclusion. He thinks he doesn't care, but in his heart, it's like a nightmare. It never disappears until today, "but I've been working hard." Lanli's trembling voice gradually stabilized, and his strong self-confidence returned to his chest. He could not help holding his right hand tightly. The metal texture and heavy weight of the cup slowly pulled his erratic figure down and stood on the ground again.
The down-to-earth sense of reality makes people stable.
"So, thank you Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg for giving me the opportunity to perform. Thank you Lamy and James for guiding me. And of course, thank you for the Emmy Award." Three simple thanks, but the weight is extraordinary. At this time, lanli finally knows why people's acceptance speech is always so long, and always thanks a lot of names that they don't know, because behind the brilliant actors, there are a lot of behind the scenes heroes who have never been paid attention to.
I can still remember that when I was shooting the first scene, I made a mistake because of focusing error and looked directly at the lens. That's a rookie shame Lanli's spontaneous outburst shocked the guests on the scene. The "Pacific War" crew was already laughing, and everyone whistled and coaxed, which made lanli laugh directly.
"You can imagine how hard the crew worked to ensure the quality. So, there are a lot of people to thank here, but I decided to express them one by one after I went back, because our production team is really huge, and I'm not sure when I can finish it... Now I can feel the voice of the live director's relief. " The rant of blue Li successfully rang the applause of the audience again. Carelessly, blue ritual make complaints about the lengthy question of winning a prize. This witty and humorous way is indeed admirable. "So... Thank you, thank you, let Cici Fuss understand that dreams can still be realized after all."
With that, Lan Li stepped back, nodded politely, then turned around and looked for the exit. The emcee and Tina, who had been waiting behind, laughed when they saw Lan Li's blank appearance. The emcee came out first and guided Lan Li and Tina to leave the stage.
Back backstage, all the noise, all the excitement and all the lights seemed to fade. People politely smile and congratulate Lan Li, but that's all. Tina patted Langley on the shoulder again and said with a smile, "well done, enjoy tonight." Then she turned and left.
The joy of winning the prize, the excitement of proving oneself, the madness of the first step to realize the dream... Finally slowly fell down at this moment.
This is just the best actor trophy in the miniseries and TV and film departments. The Emmy is just the beginning, and the "Pacific War" is just the beginning. No one will care except himself, because life, work and exploration will continue. On the road of acting, countless awards are still waiting in front of us; What's more, the way to study acting has nothing to do with awards. It's a contest between oneself and oneself. Any slack will only stop in the exploration of art.
Looking down again at the cup in hand, the joy is still there, but the surge has begun to restore calm. The exuberance gradually turned into the driving force of continuous efforts, the spur of continuous exploration, and the experience of two generations, which made him clearly understand that this award strengthened his confidence and courage. No one can stop him, not even George and Elizabeth.
On the stage, the award ceremony continues, and the major awards are finding their ownership one by one. However, the unexpected follow-up has just begun to ferment.
Every year, new people are born, and this year is no exception. However, this year's surprise is particularly striking. It's not Brian Cranston, who won the third consecutive championship, Jim Parsons, who won the first emperor's award, or even the "modern family" who was born. It's Lanley Hall, who has lost his reputation but defeated popular Al Pacino.
Wait, who's that? There was the same question on everyone's face, "what did I miss?"
