"Raleigh hall, love is crazy."
Mark's voice came through the microphone and spread clearly in the screening hall. There was a buzzing sound on the scene, which made the air slightly tense. Everyone couldn't help but turn their head. All eyes flocked to the "crazy love" crew one after another, and then they clapped together. The thunderous applause came like a tsunami.
Not the least trace was found. The first time we missed the Audience Award and then missed the director award, the "crazy love" that appeared in this year's Sundance Film Festival was somewhat dull. It seemed that the pursuit and bustle of the past few days were just like a pile of bubbles. The breeze blew away and disappeared without trace.
Such a situation is rare in Sundance.
This is not Toronto. The media won't deliberately pursue a certain work, and the audience won't deliberately promote a certain work. Excellent is excellent, and bad is bad. The feedback information reflected in the official magazine is not too much. Almost all of us take it for granted that "crazy love" is going to wipe out a thousand troops tonight, but it's unexpectedly quiet tonight.
Now, the first trophy is late, but it's better to be late than absent.
What's more, the award of this trophy is lanli. Lanli, who has been born in the past six months, has given a touching performance in "crazy love", and has shown amazing talent in the position of actor!
From the "Pacific War" to the Emmy Award, to the "buried alive" shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award nomination, and then to the "love crazy" to the special award of the Sundance jury, only three works, but lanli showed his talent in all aspects, and was born in a rocket leap posture, boldly leading the new generation of actors!
unbelievable! It's really unbelievable!
Every performance, every role and every work, lanli presents a refreshing performance again. After the exclamations and praises are repeated over and over again, people begin to be poor at words. Besides genius, is there any more appropriate vocabulary to express their inner admiration?
Even Natalie Portman, who has been famous for a long time and has accumulated a lot of experience, seems to be inferior to the rising momentum of Langley.
This reminds people of the special topic of the New York Times three days ago. Maybe they are witnessing a legend and a history.
People may not like the movie "crazy love", but no one can deny that Langley's performance is amazing. Even the most fastidious critics have given their praise without stint. Almost the whole park city is cheering, cheering and boiling because of lanli. At this moment, all the audience clapped to show their inner excitement, which is the best proof.
"Ah! It's you, it's you Jennifer Lawrence was the first to jump up, grab Langley's shoulder and shake it violently, as if the winner was not Langley, but herself.
Felicity was smiling, too. She stood up, looked at blue Li quietly, and clapped warmly.
No one knows better than her how outstanding lanli's performance aura is. Even now, she still can't help recalling the details and pictures of the film shooting and savoring the mixed emotions of bitterness and excitement. Tonight, this special jury award is well deserved!
The first thought in his mind was: did Mark mispronounce the winner? Just like the 89th Academy Awards ceremony in 2017, there was a big oolong, took the wrong award envelope, misread the winner, and made a big joke.
Then the second thought is: can the jury special awards be awarded to actors? Shouldn't this be for the film? Berlin, Cannes and Venice are all like this. What about Sundance?.
Then, the sight saw the jubilant Jennifer, whistling, screaming and jumping in place. The gesture of the party made blue Li's mood soar together, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose with her high eyebrow.
Langley stood up, and then Jennifer came up first and gave him a big hug. "You deserve it! You deserve it Then felicity, and then Charlie.
Jennifer stepped back and looked at Lan Li in front of her. Her eyes were full of ambition. She knew that Langley was an excellent actor, and he was still making progress; But she won't easily admit defeat. On the road of acting exploration, she has to catch up with Lan Li and move on.
"Crazy love" is just the beginning. She can't wait for the next chance to cooperate with lanli.
Finally, Drake. He gave Lan Li a big hug and patted her on the back. He wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn't say anything. He just showed a brilliant smile, nodded, and then raised his hands high to give her applause. In such a simple way, he conveyed his true feelings.
At the moment when lanli stepped onto the stage, the applause and cheers of the whole audience reached a high point. The deafening sound reverberated in the whole screening hall. Tonight's award ceremony reached a real climax at this moment, not even the grand prize of the jury, but the special prize of the jury. Looking back, you can even see that many people have stood up, stood up and clapped, and expressed their congratulations and admiration to Lan Li.
Such treatment is really appalling.
Here is Sundance, the resort of independent film; This is Park City, a paradise for movie lovers.
Here, there is no age limit, no qualification barrier, and no restriction of fame. People just love and adore movies. As long as they have talent, ability and enthusiasm, they can find the hot home in their heart and roam freely in the movie world with a group of friends.
Just like this moment, the 21-year-old lanli, who has been on the screen for less than a year, has won the cheers of the whole Sundance!
Looking at the boiling ocean in front of him, lanli was even more excited than the moment when he won the Emmy Award, even more excited than the red carpet winning the support of the whole audience, and even more excited than the first scene of the Pacific War.
It's not just because of this trophy. Just from the weight of the trophy, how can the special jury award of Sundance be comparable to the Emmy; But because of this passion, pure, simple, sincere enthusiasm.
This group of people gathered together because of their love of movies, broke the barriers because of movies, gathered together and cheered for their favorite works. They put aside the troubles of life, the social responsibility and the burden of age. They just ran into the world of movies with their blood in their arms, burning their lives wantonly and showing dazzling brilliance.
At this moment, Langley felt an unprecedented sense of integration, evolved into a part of the cheering and shouting scene, and became a part of the Sundance Film Festival, crazy, strong, publicity and casual. And freedom.
Lan Li's eyes were moist, but the smile on the corner of his mouth began to bloom wantonly. He didn't need to be reserved, gentlemanly or tied. Here, on this stage, at this moment, he can be himself, just like standing on the stage, in front of the camera, putting himself into the performance.
"Congratulations." Mark's voice rang in his ear. He gave him a polite hug, patted him on the back and said, "I'm jealous of you, at this moment."
Lanli turned his head and saw Mark's honest and bright smile. He couldn't help laughing and nodding to mark, "thank you."
He took the cup from Mark, and Lan Li looked at it carefully. It was a very common cup. The transparent diamond cup had no special design, let alone gorgeous rimming. However, such an ordinary cup was heavy and oppressive. The warmth in the eyes turns into the warm current of happiness, and the bottom of the eyes is filled with a brilliant smile.
"Thank you." Lanli raised his head and said to the microphone. His voice calmed down the cheers, but there was still a whistle, which made everyone laugh“ Thank you for your support, Jennifer. I won't forget the members of the cast for the part of the award speech. " Lan Li's quick witted remark made the scene burst into laughter.
Jennifer, who was just whistling, suddenly became a lovely lady. She stood in the same place with a dignified appearance and innocent face. She didn't seem to know what Langley was saying“ The rest of the cast was already laughing.
"I like Sundance because everything here is about movies, and it's just about movies, which reminds me of the joy of being on the stage for the first time and trying to perform." With a big smile on the corner of his mouth, the dim tears in the corner of his eyes were shining under the light, and his emotion was even stronger than that of the Emmy Awards“ So, I think to present this trophy to me today is to remind me of the starting point of this dream Road: I am an actor, and I am trying to be a real actor. "
Thunderous applause once again rang up, which also mixed with many whistles, the scene is not lively.
"It's a special experience to play" crazy love ". Thank you, felicity, Charlie, and Jennifer..." Langley deliberately pauses on the name of "Jennifer" for a moment, which means that it's obvious, but also a lot of laughter. "And most importantly, thank you, Derek. Thank you for inviting me to play in this work, and thank you for taking me through this painful and wonderful memory. "
"Finally, thank everyone who loves movies."
