"Pop drummer, Damien chazare."
The sound of Julie Andrews revealing the answer came out from the stereo. At this time, Damien, who was sitting in his seat, directly froze in the same place. He tried to stand up, but found himself sitting in a chair and unable to move. Even his brain had stopped turning.
"Damien! God, Damien
"Man, you got the prize!"
"Congratulations, Damien. Hey, Damien!"
Countless voices lingered in my ears, and every word was clearly presented in my mind, but Damien could not make any response.
In the end, JK Simmons hugged Damien, which broke the deadlock of time and space, and the slow mind began to turn again.
Looking up, Damien can see that many of the guests around him have stood up, including Jack Gyllenhaal, Edith hall, Ethan Hawke, etc. they all look at themselves with a smile and offer their blessings with applause. Their bright eyes make the real feeling gather little by little, and their stomach seems to feel the heavy feeling of falling down, And then the complex emotions blow out.
Stupidly, surrounded by the crowd, Damien stepped onto the stage, his feet like stepping on cotton. He didn't even know how he came to the stage from his seat, and the joy of thousands of fireworks was rushing against him.
It wasn't until she took the golden man trophy from Julie that the cold and heavy touch became more real than ever before. Then the adrenaline burst, and the vision became clear gradually, penetrating a layer of light curtain of stage lighting, bringing all the guests in the audience.
He noticed the members of the "pop drummer" crew, because the whole team was blue collar workers of unknown origin in the industry, they were arranged in the back position, easily submerged in the crowd; But at this time, they all stood up, cheering, jumping, clapping and celebrating. In such a simple and warm way, they waved the flag for Damien and warmly celebrated this important moment.
"Thank you. Thank you very much."
Damien finally found his voice, but the slight tremor still revealed the inner tension.
"Thank you, Julie Andrews, for giving me the award. I... I need to give all my love and kisses to the members of the pop drummer crew. Thank you. Thank you for your willingness to follow me through this journey full of uncertainties and challenges, and thank you for not turning away when I was full of frustration."
Damien's speaking speed was much faster than usual. The excitement of heart beating was moving and circulating in his blood vessels. He gripped the little golden man repeatedly, so that his fingertips could not help shaking slightly. The shaking spread all over his body, but could not stop.
"Er, I mean... Er, here's the thing. I know it's not easy to dream. At this moment two years ago, I was wandering on Sunset Boulevard. I couldn't find any hope or see any goal. I didn't know what to do. It was like the whole world was in darkness, and no one knew where the light was. I began to question myself whether I was not suitable for film, whether I should leave the film industry and look for a more stable job... To ensure that my wife could see milk and bread in our fridge. "
"Then I met Randy hall."
Damien's choking voice with a thick nasal sound, even the slight shaking has been unable to hide, when the name of "lanli" rings again, many guests on the scene have sent applause, which makes Damien's eyes slightly red.
"Langley is not in his position now. Sorry, I don't know where he is at the moment; But I know that he didn't and won't leave. It's lanli who told me that it's a lonely and hard journey to pursue dreams, but fortunately, I'm not alone, and he's not alone - we all think we're Don Quixote, facing the windmill giant alone. He told me that he's Don Quixote, just like me, we're all Don Quixote, we're not alone, this long and dark road, We can guard each other and walk forward side by side, looking for our own dawn. "
"At this moment, I am standing here, on the stage of Dolby theatre, living in my dream. Now, I hope to convey the words that Langley told me to every dreamer who is watching the live broadcast and every Don Quixote who is walking alone. You are not alone. Please stick to it! Please fight on! Please continue to be Don Quixote! For yourself! Waiting for the future one day, it's your turn to stand in this position, please continue to convey these words, so that dreams can light up our ordinary life
"Thank you, thank you very much!"
Applause!
Stand up and clap!
Starting from the "burst drummer" crew, the guests stood up one after another and gave the highest respect with thunderous applause.
Bob Weinstein is not sure what his mood is. The most important and promising award of "imitation game" has been lost. They have worked hard for nearly five months and even led the best picture competition for a time. It is impossible for them to return empty handed.
But all this is Harvey Weinstein's strategic choice, and Bob has no way to know what the outcome of this choice will be.
Turning his head, Bob saw Harvey stand up calmly and applaud for Damien. He showed his broad-minded mind after countless ups and downs. He didn't seem to care about the failure of "imitation game" - or indeed, he didn't care.
Bob was only half a beat slow, and then he got up and joined the applause.
Harvey seems to be aware of Bob's worry and confusion, or simply want to share. He turns to Bob and says, "steady." Faint between also with a little proud and happy, the corner of the mouth that bright smile full bloom, but the real leakage of emotion, but it is slightly flashing in the eyes of joy.
Best actor, Eddie should be stable.
Judging principle is not complicated, from the overall trend of the second stage, "Birdman" and "Youth" compete, the best film should be born in the two works; The "pop drummer" does have a strong impact, but it also impacts the bottom line of the college judges, which puts the work in a dilemma. It seems too bad to compete for the best film one step forward and be ignored one step back——
In the end, when the judges of the Academy vote, subtle psychological changes are likely to be compensated in the small awards, while the key awards may choose other works, either "Birdman" or "Youth", or other works, to ensure that the "pop drummer" can fall below the best film and above the ordinary works.
This is a vague concept, no one can be 100% sure, but the best adapted screenplay award, but let Harvey determine his own guess and reasoning.
Bob can see pride in Harvey's eyes. It seems that he is ready to celebrate the failure and embarrassment of lanli. But now Bob is not sure whether he wants to see lanli fall or Harvey hit the wall more?
Whether supporters or opponents, everyone is looking for Lan Li. What about Lan Li at this time?
Lanli is standing on the side platform waiting for the plane. Damien's heart and soul are agitated and his emotion is surging up——
For Damien, lenley helped him to realize his dream, and "pop drummer" successfully completed the shooting, and further sublimated the core theme, which enabled his film career to continue; For Lanley, Damien brought inspiration and inspiration to him, and "burst drummer" has become a new beginning for Sisyphus film to shoulder the responsibility and set sail.
They made each other.
This is also the most wonderful and unique part of the dream. It can light up life.
Lanli also raised his hands to give a round of applause to Damien and pay tribute to every dreamer.
In the roaring sound of the whole audience, Damien's steps still left. When he passed the side platform, he suddenly saw blue Li clapping. He was full of eyes and astonished, but he didn't know what to say. His mind was full of "Why are you here?"
Lanli laughed happily, but did not answer Damien's question. Instead, he came forward and patted Damien on the shoulder. "This is your reward."
Damien's moist eyes turned red, and his mood was surging before he could calm down. He could not find a way to express a thousand words. He only had time to open his mouth, and then the staff urged "we should get out of the way", which made him completely confused.
Lanli gives Damien a look to ask him to go back backstage first; Damien was pushed forward, but he still didn't understand why Langley was here.
But the answer will soon be revealed——
Lanli will be the guest of award for best director tonight.
According to the Convention, the award should have been awarded by Alfonso Caron, the winner of best director last year, but because of his family's personal affairs, Alfonso decided early that he would not be able to attend this year's award ceremony; To apologize, Alfonso attended the luncheon when the nomination list was announced as a special guest.
Alfonso's absence makes the college have to find a more suitable awarding guest. Then, who can be more suitable than lanli, who ranked first in the Forbes power list in 2014? What's more, lanli himself is the hero of gravity, and is still a personal friend with Alfonso.
And so it happened.
Before Julie Andrews appeared on the stage, Langley had already left her seat and came backstage to prepare for the award. However, he accidentally missed the important moment when "pop drummer" won the best adapted screenplay award. Before his joy and happiness were recovered, he would be ready to appear on the stage.
