The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2372

[Two thousand three hundred and thirty-five incoherent]

“‘Breaking Drummer’, Damien Chazelle.”

The voice of Julie Andrews revealing the answer came from the speaker, and Damien, who was sitting in the seat, froze in place. He tried to stand up, but found himself slumped on the chair, unable to move, and even his brain had stopped turning.

“Damien! God, Damien!”

“Man, you won!”

“Congratulations, Damien, hey, Damien!”

Countless voices lingered in my ears, every word clearly The ground appeared in his mind, but Damien had no way of reacting.

In the end, jk-simmons hugged Damien hard, which broke the deadlock of time and space, and the slow thoughts began to turn again.

Looking up, Damien can see that many of the guests around him are standing up, Jake Gyllenhaal, Edith Hall, Ethan Hawke, etc., they are all smiling He stared at himself and offered his blessings with applause. Those bright eyes condensed the sense of reality little by little, and the stomach seemed to feel the heavy falling feeling, and then the complicated emotions erupted like this.

Confused, Damien was surrounded by the crowd and stepped onto the stage one step at a time. His feet were like stepping on cotton. He didn’t even know how he came to the stage from his seat. The excitement of planting thousands of fireworks in unison is colliding unreasonably.

It was not until I took the Golden Man trophy from Julie that the cold and heavy touch became unprecedentedly real, and then the adrenaline exploded, and the sight gradually became clear and clear, penetrating the first layer of the stage lighting. The light curtain captured all the guests in the eyes.

He noticed the crew members of “Booming Drummers”, because the entire team was an unknown blue-collar worker in the industry, they were arranged in the back position, and they were easily drowned in the crowd of people in the audience; but this At the same time, they all stood up, cheered, jumped, applauded, and celebrated. In such a simple and enthusiastic way, they cheered 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 tension in his heart.

“Thank you Julie Andrews for giving me the award, I… I need to give all the love and kisses to the crew of ‘Boom Drummer’, thank you, thank you for following me through this unknown and challenging part The

journey,

and thank you for not turning away when I was full of frustration.”

Damien’s speech was significantly faster than usual, the excitement of the heartbeat was circulating in his veins, he repeated Holding the little golden man so tightly that his fingertips could not help but tremble slightly, the trembling spread throughout his body, but he couldn’t stop.

“Uh, I mean… uh, here’s the thing, I know dreams aren’t easy, at this moment two years ago, I was hanging out on Sunset Boulevard, I couldn’t find any hope, I couldn’t see any goal, I Not knowing what to do, it was as if the whole world was in darkness and no one knew where the light was. I started to question myself if I was not fit for film, should I leave the film industry and find a… More steady work to make sure my sweetheart sees the milk and bread in our fridge.”

“And then I met Renly Hall.”

Damien’s choked voice was nasal. , even the slight tremor could no longer be hidden. When the name of “Renly” sounded again, many guests at the scene gave them applause, which made Damien’s eyes slightly red.

“Renly is out of position now, sorry, I don’t know where he is at the moment; but I know he never and never will. It was Renly who told me that chasing a dream is a lonely and difficult journey, but luckily, I’m not alone and he’s not alone We all thought we were Don Quixote, facing the windmill giant alone, he told me he was Don Quixote, just like me, we are all Don Quixote, We are not alone, this long and dark road, we can protect each other and walk side by side, looking for the dawn of our own.”

“At this moment, I am standing here, on the stage of the Dolby Theater, living my life. In my dreams. The words that Renly told me at the time, now, I hope to convey to every dreamer who is watching the live broadcast, and every Don Quixote who is walking alone, you guys You are not alone, please persevere! Please continue to fight! Please continue to be Don Quixote! For yourself! Wait for the day in the future, when it is your turn to stand in this position, please continue to convey these words, let Dreams can light up our ordinary lives!”

“Thank you, thank you very much!” There was

thunderous applause!

A standing ovation!

Starting from the crew of “Booming Drummer”, the guests stood up one after another and sent their highest respect with thunderous applause.

Bob Weinstein is not sure what his emotions are. The most important and most promising award for “The Imitation Game” is still lost. They have worked hard for nearly five months and even led the competition for the best picture for a time. It is impossible to fight without regrets and eventually return empty-handed.

But it was all a strategic choice by Harvey Weinstein, and Bob had no way of knowing what that choice would lead to.

Turning his head, Bob saw Harvey standing up calmly, applauding Damien, showing a big heart that has gone through countless ups and downs, and doesn’t seem to care about the failure of the “imitation game” at all. I really don’t care.

Bob was only half a beat slower, then stood up and joined the applause.

Harvey seemed to have sensed Bob’s worries and confusion, or simply wanted to share. He turned his head and said to Bob, “Sure.” There was still a hint of smugness in between. Carefree, the hearty smile at the corner of his mouth fully bloomed, but what really revealed his emotions was the flickering excitement in his eyes.

Bob understands what Harvey means: Best Actor, Eddie should be stable.

The principle of judgment is not complicated. Judging from the overall trend of the second stage, “Birdman” and “Boyhood” rival each other, and the best film should be born in the two works; and “Boom Drummer” does have a strong impact But at the same time, it is also impacting the bottom line of the judges of the academy, which puts the work in a dilemma. It seems that the competition for the best film cannot satisfy the judges of the academy, and it seems too unfortunate

that the judges of the academy are voting in the end. Subtle mentality changes are likely to be compensated in small awards, while key awards may choose other works, either “Birdman” or “Boyhood”, or other works, ensuring “Boom Drummer” will land in Best Picture The interval below and above ordinary works.

This is a vague concept, and no one can be 100% sure, but the upset of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award allowed Harvey to confirm his own guesses and reasoning.

Bob can see the smugness in Harvey’s eyes, and he seems to be ready to celebrate Renly’s failure and embarrassment, but now Bob is not sure, whether he wants to see Renly fall, or whether he wants to see Harvey hit a wall. Woolen cloth?

Whether supporters or opponents, everyone is looking for Renly, so what about Renly at this time?

Renly was standing on the side stage waiting for the plane. Damien’s heart-pounding acceptance speech made his emotions surge.

For Damien, Renly helped him realize his dream, “The Burst Drummer” The successful completion of filming, and further sublimation of the theme core, has allowed his film career to continue; and for Renly, Damien has brought him inspiration and inspiration, “Boom Drummer” It has also become a new beginning for Sisyphus Pictures to shoulder responsibility and sail.

They made each other.

This is also the most wonderful and unique place for dreams, it can light up life.

Renly also raised his hands and gave Damien a round of applause, salute to every dreamer.

Amid the roaring sound of the audience, Damien’s footsteps still left one step at a time. When passing by the side stage, he caught Ren Li applauding, with round eyes and a look of astonishment, but he didn’t know. What should he say, his mind is full of, “Why are you here?”

Renly laughed cheerfully, but did not answer Damien’s question, but stepped forward and patted Damien on the shoulder, “This is It’s the reward you deserve.”

Damien’s wet eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and his heart was surging before he could calm down, but he couldn’t find a way to express it in a thousand words. He only had time to open his mouth and work. The officer urged “we should get out of the way”, which left him completely in the dark.

Renly gave Damien a look and told him to return to the backstage first; Damien was pushed forward in a dazed way, and he still didn’t understand why Renly was here .

But the answer will soon be revealed when

Renly will be the guest of honor for tonight’s best director.

According to convention, the award should have been awarded by Alfonso Cuaron, the winner of last year’s best director, but due to personal affairs at home, Alfonso decided early on that he would not be able to attend this year’s awards ceremony; in order to apologize, Alfonso attended the nomination The list was revealed at the luncheon, as a special guest.

The absence of Alfonso has forced the Academy to look for more suitable presenters. So, who can be more suitable than Renly, who was No. 1 on the Forbes Power List in 2014?

What’s more, Renly himself is the hero of “Gravity”, and he is also a personal friend with Alfonso.

So, it happened like this.

Before Julie Andrews took the stage, Renly had left his seat and came backstage to prepare for the awards, but unexpectedly missed the important moment, joy and happiness to witness the “Boom Drummer” win the Best Adapted Screenplay Award. Before he could recover, he was about to prepare to take the stage.
