The short speech of winning the prize is full of Lan Li's love for the film and the feeling of not forgetting his original intention.
At this moment, lenley finally has a real sense of reality, here is Sundance, the unique Sundance.
More important than the trophy, his dream was finally affirmed, not because his acting skills were recognized, but because here, he could find countless dreamers, who were abandoned by society, denied by others, tortured by life and hit by reality. They all walked alone on the road of dream, but they were not afraid of failure and loneliness, Don't be afraid of injury, just push forward firmly.
No one knows when the pace will stop, and no one knows what the destination is, but before they are exhausted, they should try their best to sprinkle every drop of sweat and blood in their bodies. We work hard not to change this society, but to prevent it from changing us. Every dream should be respected.
He is not alone on this road.
Stepping off the stage, the applause rang out again. This time, it was not for Langley, but for Robert Redford. This highly respected director and actor, the founder of Sundance, always gets the highest respect when he appears in park city every year. Tonight is no exception, of course.
Lanli returned to his seat, and the members of the "crazy love" crew all paid close attention to him, with an excited smile on his face, even more excited than lanli.
Jennifer looked at the trophy enviously, then stubbornly raised her chin and said, "I don't envy it. I don't envy it at all."
That appearance made Lan Li laugh, "I believe that you will win your own cup, soon."
Jennifer nodded seriously and said without hesitation, "of course!" The eyes are full of confidence and unswervingly shining, and the whole person becomes bright.
As he spoke, the applause gradually calmed down, and Robert said to the microphone, "it's the end of every year, every time, the mood is always very complicated. On the one hand, we are looking forward to the emergence of more excellent works next year; On the one hand, they are losing again. This year's carnival is over. "
"I like what Langley Hall said just now." Robert unexpected location, let the scene once again applause, "crazy love" crew is a direct whistle, "thank you for everyone who loves the film. Yes, I would like to thank everyone who still perseveres in creation and supports the film. It's our honor to gather here and discuss our favorite films. "
"Next, it's time to present awards." Robert raised the envelope in his hand and waved it gently. The atmosphere of the scene slowly settled down and became tense behind the noise“ This year, a lot of excellent works have sprung up, which are dazzling. I personally like at least five of them. Fortunately, I'm not the one who needs to make a decision. "
Like the three major European film festivals, the Sundance Film Festival consists of six judges to select the final award. Every year, the jury will be replaced to ensure fairness.
After the simple opening, Robert didn't continue to sell the story, but revealed the answer directly. In the world unit, "happy housewife" won the big prize of the feature film, while "eternal car God" achieved the great feat of winning three trophies -- sweeping the jury award, director award and Audience Award, which undoubtedly became the biggest winner in the documentary department.
"Treasure" in 2009 took away the three trophies of Jury Award, jury special award and Audience Award. Since then, it has won the Toronto people's choice award with great enthusiasm, and finally won the best supporting actress and the best adapted screenplay at the Oscar ceremony.
Now, "eternal car God" seems to copy the original development track of "treasure", which is expected.
Then, in the local unit, "the return of hell" included the documentary awards of the jury awards, which also made people realize that Sundance is really close to the end, and now there is only one award left: the jury awards and the feature film department.
Although the development of Sundance Film Festival is more and more perfect and there are more and more awards, the top priority has never changed. When people mention Sundance, the feature film department of the jury award is the only focus, just like the people's Choice Award in Toronto, which represents the highest level of Sundance in those years. beyond all doubt.
The so-called "Jury Award" refers to the jury award of the drama department!
If we can win the award and continue the momentum of the previous three-year winners in the Oscar sprint stage, it can only be regarded as one of the additional effects; What's more, the winner of the award will win more attention and gain more space. Whether it's as a starting point to enter the vision of a large film company, or relying on the advantage of a halo to get more sponsorship and complete his ideal work, it's twice the result with half the effort.
That's an affirmation from Sundance.
So, who will take the top this year“ "Crazy love"? Or Tyrannosaurus Rex? Or "double Martha"? Or is it the "family environment" that won the Audience Award? There are also "asylum seekers" who are highly recognized but have not won the first prize so far?
Seemingly calm, Sundance has ushered in the climax of chaos this year. Now, the answer is in the envelope in Robert's hand, and his eyes are burning.
Without hesitation, Robert opened the envelope, glanced at it, and then raised his eyes triumphantly, "Oh, it's this work." But he rarely announced the results directly, but stopped for a moment, which made the scene heard a low voice of complaint, Robert laughed more happily, "don't disturb me, I'm enjoying one of the few privileges, let me digest first."
The light and humorous tone made the laughter reverberate in the screening hall.
"Very good, the winner of the jury award of the 27th Sundance Film Festival is..." after enjoying it, Robert spoke again, looked down at the card, confirmed the answer again, and then cheered up, "crazy love!"
There was a second blank on the scene, and then the applause, like a tsunami, rose from far to near. The roar stirred up one echo after another in the projection hall, and rushed from all directions, shaking the foundation of the whole projection hall, and the world began to shake up; In the line of sight, the crowd of people standing up, black and white, like a vast ocean, boundless.
"Crazy love", the winner of this year's jury award is "crazy love"! It's like going crazy.
Lanli stands up, and then sees that Jennifer jumps up, raises her right hand high, and looks at lanli with her eyes full of energy. However, lanli pretends not to see her. She passes over Jennifer and sees Drake in the crash state. Her face is full of incredible shock and amazement, and her open Chin seems to be dislocated and can't be closed.
As soon as her eyes were out of sight, she saw that Jennifer still held her right hand. Her excited smile showed no sign of frustration. She was staring at lanli, which made lanli shake her head helplessly. Then she raised her right hand. She took a step forward and jumped up. She hit lanli's right hand hard and finished the action of high five.
"Pa" sound, clear and loud, but in a flash was submerged in the applause of the scene.
After the blue salute, Jennifer clapped high fives with felicity and Charlie respectively, and finally walked around to Drake, clapping with admiration and high respect.
When he saw that Drake was in a daze, it seemed that his brain had stopped working. He had to step forward, patted Drake on the shoulder, and yelled in his ear, "Drake, come on stage to receive the prize!"
But Drake's reaction was still slow. At last, Jennifer, felicity, Charley and others came over and joined in the ranks of Langley. They clapped Drake's back crazily. The fierce action made a thumping sound. Drake felt a pang and jumped up, showing his teeth and running on the stage, The embarrassed appearance made the audience laugh together.
After taking the cup from Robert, Drake looked at it seriously and couldn't put it down. His eyes stayed on the cup for a long time, but the audience didn't worry. No one urged Drake to express his acceptance speech as soon as possible. Everyone watched Drake quietly, and it seemed that they could clearly feel Drake's turbulent emotion.
After a long time, Drake said, "I'm sorry, I'm a bit impolite. I'm just a little bit surprised. I'll stand here and get the grand prize of the jury. " Drake's words inevitably had some sighs, and his eyes turned red involuntarily. "This is a very special and personal film. I sincerely hope that someone can see it, and everyone else who sees this film can seize the opportunity, seize every moment, and don't miss that person."
Caught off guard, Drake choked, and his tears fell down. He had to take two deep breaths, and then he said, "thank you, Sundance, for giving me a platform to show myself. Otherwise, this movie is just a fool's babble. Thank you, Ben York Jones, for completing the script with me. Thank you, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlie Bray, for accompanying me to complete this work. "
After a slight pause, Drake wiped tears from his cheek. "Finally, thank you, Randy hall. Thank you for giving the film the soul, and thank you for writing the ending song for the film. And thank you for not asking for payment and risking free work to complete this work. Thank you
In the end, Drake burst into laughter. He took a deep breath, and then held up the cup in his hand, saying nothing.
Tonight, like crazy.
