The 67th Tony Awards officially came to an end.
On that night, there was no situation of annihilation and dominance of the whole family. The "witch in boots" and "miserable world" respectively won five trophies and became the biggest winners this year.
Among them, "witch in boots" won five awards, including the best musical, the best composition and the best lyrics creation“ "Les miserables" has won five awards, including the best rehearsal musical, the best musical actor and the best musical script.
But the best musical director, Diane Paulus, who is the director of "piping's true story", came out with a big surprise, which also proves the fact that there are countless excellent works in the past year, and the quality of several musical plays is really equal.
Otherwise, how could the Tony prize suddenly start to divide the cake?
However, on the whole, the quality of the awards of "les miserables" is still better. Three of the awards are major plays, which proves once again the popularity of the play on Broadway.
Having said that, at the end of the award ceremony, the focus of all the guests, the media, the gourd eaters and the loyal fans was on lanli, just like... The only white whale in the zoo. Although such a description is not appropriate, it is true, All the people came to watch.
"Lan Li! Congratulations What's hidden in his eyes is his critical eyes. Lanli hall, who created history, is just an ordinary young man with two eyes, a nose and a mouth. There is nothing special about him.
"God, Langley, oh, I really like the work of les miserables so much!" There was a look in the deep of his eyes, trying to find any trace from Lan Li's expression, and became the conversation behind him.
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible! But you deserve it. " The words were perfunctory and perfunctory, and then began to spy on Langley's next plan, as well as his huge contacts on Broadway and Hollywood. Both inside and outside the words implied that this was another victory of public relations.
"How's it going? How do you feel? I can't help shivering when I sit in the same place. " The tentative words and eyes seemed to regard lanli as a mouse, ready to study the real thoughts and feelings of "the first person in history".
"God, you did it, you did it! Congratulations After the excitement and cheering, he began to make friends and enthusiastically sent out party invitation, just like foreign friends sent out panda invitation to Chengdu.
"Lan Li, may I take a picture with you?" Without Lan Li's consent, he raised his camera to take pictures, and then posted it on the photo wall to show off the glory and dignity of the moment to the world. They witnessed history on the spot.
The coldness and alienation in the noise are isolating Lan Li little by little. It doesn't matter whether it is intentional or unintentional; What's important is that the blue rite seems to be different now——
Lanli doesn't care that everyone close to him has a purpose, because this is the operation rule of vanity fair; What lanli cares about is that everyone close to him is hidden behind the mask. He can no longer see any eyes. The passion and excitement about dream, performance and art seem to be slowly disappearing, leaving only a bright light.
In a trance, everything becomes familiar, like the Oscar night in Hollywood, like the upper class party in London, like the deja vu of vanity fair.
In his opinion, this is Broadway. The unique Broadway is different after all. In fact, it is unique before the awards are announced tonight; But the award of a Tony prize has changed too much. He's starting to Miss Broadway before tonight.
It's too high to be cold.
At this moment, this sentence is so clear and ironic.
Being in the sight and the light, even Lan Li himself had an illusion. Maybe he was really different. He is no longer the lanli who is crazy for performance, but a trendsetter who has opened up a new era of the world. His every move can change the direction of the whole industry, and things are no longer pure and simple.
Lanli knew that his idea was too absurd and superfluous. He put down his burden and enjoyed the pleasure and joy of the evening, just like every night after winning the prize before. This was enough. It was the right choice to let alcohol become the leading role of the evening and release it wantonly.
But Langley couldn't help thinking of Rooney.
After the Academy Awards ceremony, Rooney fled to Seattle, dressed in a grand evening dress but sitting on a bench on the street, went to Los Angeles and returned to New York for her dream... Now he really understands that feeling, almost suffocating and depressing.
Lanli left the party scene of Radio City Concert Hall. Everyone was celebrating and reveling, but no one noticed that lanli, the hero, had left.
This is the true face of vanity fair.
Standing on the side of the street, lanli looked around and held his mobile phone in his palm. However, he didn't immediately inform Nathan. Instead, he quietly felt the cold wind blowing through the night, carrying the water vapor of the Hudson River. In the late night of June, he still revealed a piercing coolness.
He felt his pocket and tried to find a cigarette.
But he failed. There was no place for cigarettes in the pocket of the evening dress. Even the mobile phone was carefully placed in the inner pocket of the coat to avoid damaging the whole line of the dress. At this moment, he can really use a cigarette, not because of a specific emotion, but because he can't describe his emotion in accurate language.
Looking down at the Tony trophy in his hand, if a pedestrian or tramp passes by, he is willing to exchange the trophy for a packet of cigarettes.
Unfortunately, the whole street is clean and cold, and no one can be seen.
Turn on the cell phone, hesitated for a moment, blue Li dialed Rooney's phone.
The waiting voice rang for a while, and then Rooney's voice came from the other end, vaguely catching her panting voice. It seemed that she rushed to answer the phone, "... Hey, lanli? I thought you were at the celebration party now. How can you call me when you have time? By the way, Congratulations! congratulations! It's definitely a surprise. "
The words were slightly reversed, but Langley didn't think much about it. Following the cheerful voice of Rooney, the smile on the corner of her mouth rose, and her mood was a little relaxed. "Remember the Oscar ceremony the year before last?"
Lu Ni slightly Leng Leng, immediately remembered, smile a little pause a little bit, "do you want to run now?"
"No, I won't run away. They're not so terrible that I can run away. Don't forget, I've been through a lot of battles. " But... I can use a friend now. Where are you now? Well, do you have time to come out for a beer? "
"... sorry, I'm in Boston now. For a film project, I came here to meet the producer and director. " "But, if you don't mind, we can enjoy the same night sky together and enjoy the leisurely time of a bottle of beer."
"Ha, I'll wait until you come back." "What I need is a real human being, not an inflatable doll," he joked with a chuckle
"God, are you comparing me to an inflatable doll?" Rooney exclaimed.
Lanli didn't care. "You should talk to Ryan. He will tell you that inflatable dolls have vitality. What you said just now has offended many people."
"The love of inflatable dolls", a work starring Ryan Gosling, is also a work that lanli likes very much.
"Well?" Rooney let out a helpless sigh, seemed to be complaining.
Lanli can even imagine that at the other end of the phone, Rooney bit her lower lip and rolled her eyes, showed a smile, changed the topic and ended the conversation. "I hope everything goes well with the meeting of the film project."
"Congratulations again on winning egot. I'm not sure what it's like, but it's definitely extraordinary." Rooney also returned to normal, said with a smile.
The two didn't talk too much and then hung up.
Smile stopped in the corner of the mouth, like smoke general curl dissipated. Similarly, Rooney's congratulations are the same as those of Radio City Concert Hall behind him. The sense of alienation and isolation is becoming more and more obvious. He thought Rooney could feel it, but he was disappointed after all.
But... What can he say?
Rooney's congratulations are the reaction of normal people. Do you want to strangle the winner on the night of winning the prize? Is that really strange? Perhaps, his current idea is that there is no need to worry about the world. It's just wishful thinking immersed in his own world, and there is no need to exist.
Maybe.
Looking down at the mobile phone, we can see that there are more than 50 SMS messages. This is lanli's personal mobile phone. There are not many contacts in the address book. As for the external mobile phone, it will stay with Nathan, which should be more lively.
Lanli never confirms a text message at the first time, let alone replies to it at the first time. He often waits for the number of text messages to accumulate to a certain extent, but Matthew can't stand it and starts to deal with it in time; But today, Lan Li hesitated for a moment, but he opened his in box early and began to confirm the message. In a strange way.
After a brief browsing, the familiar names in my impression immediately sent congratulatory messages, even Arthur and Andre are no exception. Obviously, even outsiders can't help paying attention to them. In a certain way, it also proves the dynamism of this news event.
Lanli didn't reply.
Just as he was about to exit his in box again, lanli saw the text message sent by Matthew.
"Are you ok?"
Looking at the message quietly and hesitating for a moment, lanli replies to a message. Just after turning off the mobile phone screen, Matthew's reply arrives. Lanli looks at the mobile phone screen in his hand seriously, his nose is slightly sour, but the smile at the corner of his mouth rises slightly.
He is not alone after all.
