1363 Unsung Heroes
"It seems that I'm just a duplicitous idiot, and I still care after all. Lan Li smiled self-deprecatingly, but before the smile could bloom, tears had already blurred his vision, and he could only raise his head to hide his embarrassment and unbearableness, but the surging emotions had completely broken the embankment.
yes, who can not care?
For any of the guests on the scene, they can't guarantee that they will face it indifferently, even now as a bystander, they can't help but be on the verge of gaffe, not to mention, Lan Li is only twenty-three years old, although he usually seems to be a gentleman and calm, but he is making history after all, an incredible history, no one can know, what kind of feeling is it.
Looking at Lan Li on the stage, the uncontrollable tears and self-mocking ridicule instantly aroused countless resonances, and the applause and whistles of the audience rang out at the same time, one after another, so lively.
Lan Li, who was surrounded by applause, was really too ridiculous for his embarrassed appearance of crying and laughing, and without warning, George and Elizabeth's angry and stiff faces appeared in his mind, as well as the expressions of Arthur and Edith gloating and watching the show, he must not have any gentlemanly demeanor at all now, and he didn't hold back for a while, so he laughed like this, unprecedentedly cheerful and flamboyant.
"Thanks, I need a little bit of time, I mean, I need to digest it well, before I say the wrong thing, to sort out my thoughts, to avoid such embarrassing moments that will be remembered in the minds of the audience forever, which should not be a good thing for my future career. But...... Thank you, thank you for standing here and receiving this trophy. ”
In the midst of the teasing jokes, a soft low laugh sounded at the scene.
Lan Li took a deep breath, his voice was slightly nasal, the area around his eyes was slightly red, and the pupils under the reflection of the light faintly flashed with bright light, reflecting the earth-shaking in his heart.
This kind of blue gift is really too real.
The fingertips holding the trophy slowly retracted, the heavy weight pressed his chest, a little breathless, and the first thing that came to mind was the lonely figure of Levine-Davis struggling to move forward in the snowdrift in Chicago, his feet in the snowdrift, wet and cold.
"Once in a while, I'm willing to flip through the news and look for a little bit of feel-good self-esteem and arrogance in the midst of the praise. Lan Li said in a relaxed way, triggering a low laugh again, "I know what tonight means, and I know how heavy this trophy is, everyone is talking about history, but I want to say that history is not made by one person, before me, before tonight, this path was created step by step. ”
"Thank you Billy Potter, thank you Stark Sanders, thank you Bertie Cavill, thank you Sandinor Fontana, thank you for your willingness to walk with me all the way. Sincerely, Lan Li expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Not long ago, I filmed a work, and in order to avoid the suspicion of publicity, I will not name it. Lan Li's words can always bring a touch of humor in sincerity, and the joking tone once again attracted a light laugh, "But that work made me understand Dave Van Lunck, a folk singer, without him, there might not have been a later wave of folk songs." Sadly, very few people have the quiet time to listen to Dave's singing. ”
"Tonight, I hope that this is not the end or the peak, but a starting point, and I want people to know that all the success and glory behind this stage and behind this second curtain are the hard work and sweat of countless people, and when I stand in the spotlight and receive applause, there are countless talented actors, directors and other staff members next to me. ”
"This is the ...... of the times" Lan Li's words could not continue, because the thunderous applause of the audience rang out again, and even many actors stood up in awe and expressed their respect with practical actions.
Perhaps, this is the winning speech of the PR strategy, perhaps, this is the heartfelt words, but this is no longer important, the important thing is that Lan Li said these words and became an example.
On this history-making night, they are both co-creators of history.
The unsung behind-the-scenes heroes that no one knows or mention, not only the other four nominees, but also other actors who are not on the nominee list, form the cornerstone of the whole Broadway, and are the most important participants and witnesses of this history. Without their presence, there would be no historical glory.
Lan Li shook the trophy in his hand again, raised it gently, and his eyes gradually became firm, "This is a great era, an era that does not belong to drama, but we still insist on this stage, and create a world that belongs to us with the spirit of performance and dreams, which cannot fill our stomachs and cannot find a future." So I guess, we're really superheroes. ”
"Roar, roar, roar", the Radio City concert hall once again resounded with cheers, and even Charlotte, who was standing next to her, followed suit: superhero. This is definitely an incomparably fresh adjective, no one has ever described them like this, some pretentious, some embarrassing, but also extremely real and incomparably appropriate.
Standing in place, Lan Li stared at the surging crowd under the stage, and the sense of realism fell into his heart like never before.
EGOT's four trophies represent the immortality of dreams and the soaring of freedom, on the road of chasing self and embracing themselves, Lan Li ran all the way, and finally found someone who traveled with him, and the trophies became the best weather vane, guiding more and more Don Quixote to gather together, with a silly courage, burdened with worldly ridicule and contempt, and move forward firmly.
His eyes were hot again, but this time Lan Li didn't dodge and dodge again, but showed a big smile, "Thank you very much, thank you for letting me stand here and have the opportunity to say this, and thank you for all the ups and downs and hardships that have made me who I am now, thank you for letting me appear!"
After a slight pause, Lan Li showed a bright smile and said firmly, "Finally, I hope that tonight I will be the first, not the last." ”
The last sentence is given to every actor, every dreamer, and every Don Quixote.
Lan Li's acceptance speech did not mention himself or the crew of "Les Miserables", but gave all his thanks to everyone who still insists on their dreams, and even more to the artists who have always stuck to the theater stage, thanking them for their unremitting persistence in artistic creation.
This is the real meaning behind EGOT. The trophy is invaluable and important, but it is the hard work and sprint of the past three years that is the most precious thing compared to the trophy itself, and it is an experience that cannot be replaced or replicated. Lan Li is like this, and so is every actor who is still running tirelessly.
After finishing speaking, Lan Li raised the trophy in his hand, signaled again, and without pause, turned around and left the stage with Charlotte.
The audience applauded thunderously!
The glorious moment of creating history belongs to Lan Li, but the sincerity of the award-winning speech belongs to every guest and audience present, and also to every artist who still insists on the field of artistic creation.
Everyone is looking at the brilliance and brilliance of Lan Li's ascent to the top, but only the participants who have really experienced it can understand the hardships and efforts made on this road, and the countless sweat, tears and blood hidden in the shadows outside the stage lights, but no one knows after all.
This is true of everyone who is here tonight to witness the birth of a historic moment, as is the case with the other nominees who won the nomination tonight but passed by, and the same is true of everyone who looked at Lan Li's every move with envy, jealousy and hatred tonight.
It is precisely because I can't ask for it that I am even more emotional.
Lan Li's words hit the hearts of every audience member heavily.
What's more, as Lan Li said, this is not an era that belongs to them, but they are still like fools and idiots, stubbornly and stubbornly sticking to this stage, for others, for the world, for society, they seem to be outcast losers.
But deep down, they know that they are different creators, but they are just ordinary people with dreams. If even dreams are disillusioned, then what is left of life and life, and what can be found in the universal values of society?
I hope tonight's Blue Rite is the first, not the last.
Everyone prayed and looked forward to it with all their hearts.
Tonight, bright.
People are amazed at Lan Li's history, but also amazed at Lan Li's calm and sophisticated, and a winning speech once again reproduced the glory of last year's Grammy Awards, but only Lan Li himself knew that the slightly trembling fingers were revealing his inner tension and excitement, but he was better at concealing it.
Returning to the side table, Lan Li let out a long, long breath, looked at his trembling fingertips, and laughed dumbly. Then, once again, he regained his usual calm and calmness, and accepted the congratulations and congratulations of all his colleagues with a smile, strictly speaking, this is not only a moment that belongs to the blue ceremony, but also a moment that belongs to the entire field of art, and the shackles and shackles that have been fixed for a century have finally been broken tonight.
Lanli was the first pioneer to open up a whole new world!
