Chapter 1734

Damien, standing on the stage in tears, looks extremely embarrassed and embarrassed. All his emotions are displayed in front of the audience. His fragility, his struggle, his joy and his happiness are so real and heavy that they are heavily on his shoulders.

"When I first shot this work, I just wanted to..."

Damien's mood finally reorganized, with a strong crying voice, upside down, incoherent to continue to express his award speech; Sitting under the stage, Lan Li was a little bit distracted. Looking at Damien like this, he felt a touch of joy.

The impression of Damien in the last life has always stayed at the stage when he won the praise of Hollywood by virtue of "the city of love". Behind the shyness of not being good at speech and social communication, he is a dull otaku who devotes himself to artistic creation. His inner confidence and firmness can flow through the camera.

But those are just the flash of light outlined under the magnesium lamp.

Damien overthrows those fixed impressions and reveals his inner frailty and greenness. On the road of pursuing his dream and becoming an art creator, Damien is struggling step by step; In the distant future, Damien will eventually be able to fit into the track of the last life and become the focus of attention under the spotlight. However, on this road, those bumps and tribulations are blurred in the dazzling light.

In Damien's nearly collapsed acceptance speech, the 30th Sundance Film Festival finally came to an end.

"Pop drummer" won the jury award and the audience choice award, both of which won the favor of professionals and ordinary audiences, and undoubtedly became the biggest winner of this year's Film Festival. Now it can be predicted that thanks to the blessing of lanli and the support of Sony classics, this work will surely attract more attention after it is released; As for the future of the award season, it depends on the operation of Sony classic.

After the award ceremony, the hustle and bustle of heat continued for nearly an hour. The guests were discussing and chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was jubilant.

As the biggest winner tonight, Damien naturally became the focus of the audience. The continuous crowd was dazzling. He didn't even have time to sort out his emotions, and then he fell into a continuous encirclement. After the ceremony, the celebration mode of Sundance is not much different from the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Damien managed to find the gap, secretly left the scene, left the noisy and crowded indoor environment, and bumped into the cold outside. The fresh air poured into the dull lungs. Although shivering one by one, he was finally able to feel the fresh air, which was considered breathing again.

Then Damien saw Langley.

At this time, lanli stood not far from the gate of the main venue. In front of him stood two young people who looked like fans. During the conversation, they could hear faint laughter. The harmonious atmosphere was like the gurgling of hot spring water, with some warmth in the quiet. Damien could not help but tilt his head and watch quietly. It seemed that lanli always had such a magic power, Let the blade of time become gentle.

The two young people didn't stay for long. They walked briskly and waved goodbye to Lan Li. Langley was alone again.

Damien stepped forward. When he came to lanli, he realized that he didn't know what to say. He just wanted to get close to lanli, and then he did it.

Blue Li turned his head and cast his eyes, showing a smile, "is the party over?"

Damien shook his head helplessly and tried to complain that lanli had left him behind, but he could not say the words of complaint. He could only release the laser towards lanli with his eyes full of bitterness.

"You should learn to adapt. After the movie is released, there will be more similar occasions. Today, it can only be regarded as the primary level. If Sony classic is going to compete in the award season, the situation is even worse. Maybe you have to attend two or three parties in one night. "

"And you?" Damien's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.

Lanli didn't answer. He just gave Damien a meaningful look, and there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Damien immediately caught Langley's eyes and said, "are you... Are you showing off?" After that, he muttered to himself, "I thought we could share things together. Things shouldn't be like this. Why can you just be lazy and I have to attend? I'm not good at it. I don't know how to do it. Really, I think you're more suitable than me." those mumbling words collided between lips and teeth, which was not clear at all, After I make complaints about myself, I feel happy.

Suddenly it was quiet.

Light yellow street lamp halo will support the dark night sky, there is no snow, but in the air, there is a sharp chill, slightly stinging the skin of fruit dew, so the world is quiet.

"I'm living apart."

Damien said suddenly. He didn't intend to mention it. It was his personal affair, and he didn't think it was necessary to mention it; But just now there was an impulse, and then it came out like this. Unexpectedly, he thought he would be uncomfortable, but actually he relaxed.

"We don't want to get there. We all try to solve the problem. But it didn't succeed in the end. I moved out at Christmas

Damien continued calmly, without any context, or any special subject or pronoun; And Lan Li did not comment, just quietly listening.

Although Damien is not yet 30 years old, he has been married for more than three years.

Damien and his wife met and socialized when they were at Harvard University - just like Justin Hurwitz, who played the music for "pop drummer.". Jasmine McGlade is also a screenwriter and director, who is also struggling at the beginning of his career; In 2009, Damien's directorial debut "guy and Madeleine on the park bench" was a script created by two couples who were still dating at that time. Then Damien acted as director and jasmine as producer.

After that, jasmine directed a feature film, "Maria, my love", which was released in 2011. Unfortunately, it didn't cause any repercussions.

In the past five years, Damien and jasmine have been pursuing their dreams, but they have also been hit by the cruel reality. Before, Damien went to the Oscar night to wait for the hare, but he didn't mean to struggle at last. He and jasmine had been forced into the corner of life, almost out of breath.

They are persisting, they are working hard, they are stubborn, but there is no light and hope in the dark tunnel of life. They are exhausting each other, gradually unable to recognize themselves as they are, and even the feelings that maintain each other have lost their flavor.

In the end, someone needs to make a choice, compromise or give up, or... Go their separate ways.

At Christmas, the conflict between them finally broke out, hurt each other black and blue, and then ran away like a lost dog.

Who's wrong? No one is wrong, but after all, we have come to this step.

Damien fell apart at tonight's award ceremony because of Sundance and also because of jasmine: if this trophy could be advanced by a year, would things be different?

"When I stand on the stage tonight, my mind is full of the last act of crazy love." Damien's words were stained with the cold and solitude of the night, and the deep loss could not be lost. "Jacob and Anna came together after all, but both sides were exhausted, and they did not know whether their choice was right."

In Jacob and Anna's body, he saw himself and jasmine's projection, and then the mood completely burst.

Lanli turned to Damien and said, "there has never been a right or wrong choice about feelings. We just look for the missing and reunion moments in each other's lives, and then leave those most beautiful and painful moments in our memory. That's all."

Damien rubbed his head hard, and his face like curly hair became more and more messy. "I know, I just... I just can't help thinking that if the 'pop drummer' was sure to start shooting at the beginning, jasmine would have more confidence in me and believe that this work could succeed; Or, if I had made a short film of "pop drummer" and found an investment in Sundance, our life pressure would have been reduced... "

Lan Li once again cast his eyes to the distance, looking at the dim light in the distance, "so, if you can really come back, will you choose to give up your dream? Or will you choose to be a director? "

Damien was so stunned that countless possibilities emerged in his mind, but he still couldn't find the answer, and his smile became bitter. "Now I finally know why everyone likes Hollywood movies, because everyone likes a happy ending, just like a fairy tale."

"Isn't that why everyone likes movies? Because movies are the real dream making tools. " Lanli said with a smile.

"Dream." Damien whispered, "dream, dream, dream..." and then he turned to lanli and said, "you know, before I created the 'pop drummer', I was writing a script, based on the story of me and jasmine, which tells the story of two young people chasing artistic dreams in New York, but... Unfortunately, no one is optimistic about this script, Because it's too self and too much... "

Damien suddenly stopped. "Well, anyway, I stopped writing that script, and then I went to Los Angeles, and I met you. The script still lacks an end, but now I know how to end it. I thought, "I'll go back and finish the script. Would you like to play in this work?"
