The short acceptance speech is full of Lan Li's love for movies and the emotion of not forgetting his original intention. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this moment, Lan Li finally has a real sense of authenticity, this is Sundance, the unique Sundance.
More important than the trophy is that his dream has finally been affirmed, not because his acting skills have been recognized, but because here, he can find countless dreamers, dreamers who have been abandoned by society, denied by others, tortured by life, and hit by reality, they are all walking alone on the road of dreams, but they are not afraid of failure, they are not afraid of loneliness, they are not afraid of injury, they are just unswervingly sprinting forward.
No one knows when their footsteps will stop, and no one knows what the scenery will be, but before they are exhausted, they have to do their best, squandering every drop of sweat and blood in their bodies. We work hard, not to change this society, but not to let this society change us, and every dream should be respected.
He is not alone on this path.
Walking off the stage, the applause rang out again, this time, not for Lan Li, but for Robert Redford. The venerable director and actor and founder of Sundance always has the highest respect for his appearance in Park City every year. Tonight was no exception.
Lan Li returned to his seat, and the members of the "Love Crazy" crew all paid close attention to him, with an excited smile on their faces, looking even more excited than Lan Li.
Jennifer looked at the trophy in Lan Li's hand enviously, then stubbornly raised her chin and said stiffly, "I don't envy, I don't envy at all." ”
That look made Lan Li laugh, "I'm sure you'll win your own trophy, soon." ”
Jennifer nodded seriously and said without hesitation, "Of course!" There was a confident and unwavering light in her eyes, and her whole person became bright.
As he spoke, the applause gradually subsided, and Robert spoke into the microphone and said, "It's the end of every year again, and every time, the mood is always very complicated. On the one hand, I am looking forward to more excellent works next year, and on the other hand, I am lost, and this year's carnival has ended. ”
"I like what Lan Li-Hall said just now. Robert's unexpected naming made the scene burst into applause again, and the crew of "Love is Crazy" whistled directly, "Thank you to everyone who loves movies." Yes, thank you to everyone who continues to create, and thank you to everyone who continues to support films, and it is an honor for us to be able to gather here and discuss the movies we love. ”
"Then, it's time to give the award. Robert raised the envelope in his hand and waved it gently, and the atmosphere of the scene slowly settled down, and behind the noise, it began to become tense. "There have been a lot of great works this year, and there are at least five of them that I personally like very much. Luckily, I'm not the one to make a decision. ”
The Sundance Film Festival, like the three major European film festivals, is made up of a six-member jury that selects the final awards, and the jury changes every year to ensure impartiality.
After a simple opening, Robert did not continue to sell off, and directly revealed the answer. In the World section, "Joyful Housewives" took the grand prize for feature films, while "Forever the Car God" achieved the feat of the triple crown - sweeping the Grand Jury Award, the Director Award, and the Audience Award, and undoubtedly became the biggest winner in the documentary category.
In 2009, "Cherish" took away the three trophies of the Grand Jury Award, the Special Jury Award, and the Audience Award, and since then, he has made great progress, winning the Toronto People's Choice Award in one go, and finally successfully won the Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay trophies at the Oscars.
Now, the "eternal car god" seems to be about to replicate the original development trajectory of "cherish", which is exciting.
Subsequently, in the local section, "Hell's Returnee" won the Grand Jury Prize for documentary, which also made people realize that Sundance is really close to the end, and now only one last award remains: the Grand Jury Prize, the feature film category.
Although the Sundance Film Festival is getting better and better, and there are more and more awards, the priority has never changed, and when people talk about Sundance, the feature film department of the Jury Prize is the only focus, just like the People's Choice Award in Toronto, which represents the highest level of Sundance that year. Undoubtedly.
The so-called "Grand Jury Prize" refers specifically to the Grand Jury Prize in the feature film department!
If the award can be won, continuing the momentum of the previous three years of award winners in the Oscar sprint, it can only be regarded as one of the additional effects; more importantly, the award winner will win more attention and gain more space, whether it is to use this as a starting point to enter the vision of large film companies, or to rely on the advantage of a halo, get more sponsorship, and complete their ideal work, which is twice the result with half the effort.
That's an affirmation from Sundance.
So, who will make it to the top in the end this year? "Love is crazy"? Or "Tyrannosaurus"? Or "Double-faced Martha"? Or "family environment" that won the audience award in an upset? And "seeking asylum", which has been highly recognized but has not won a single award so far?
Sundance, which seems to be uneventful, has ushered in a chaotic high/tide this year. Now, the answer was in the envelope in Robert's hand, and his eyes became hot in an instant.
Without any hesitation, Robert opened the envelope, glanced at it, and then raised his gaze triumphantly, "Oh, this is the work. But he didn't announce the results directly, but paused slightly, which caused a low grumbling from the scene, and Robert laughed even more happily, "Don't bother me, I'm enjoying one of the few privileges, let me digest it first." ”
The light-hearted and humorous tone made the laughter echo in the screening room.
"Very good, at the 27th Sundance Film Festival, the winner of the Grand Jury Prize is ......" After enjoying it, Robert spoke again, his tone paused, he looked down at the card, confirmed the answer again, and then puffed up, "'Love is crazy'!"
There was a gap for a second, and then the applause was like a tsunami, rising from far and near, and the roar stirred up echoes in the screening hall one after another, rushing from all directions, violently shaking the foundation of the entire screening hall, and the world began to shake;
"Love is crazy", this year's winner of the Grand Jury Prize is "Love is crazy"!
Lan Li stood up, and then saw Jennifer jump up all of a sudden, raised her right hand high, and looked at Lan Li with her eyes full of energy, but Lan Li pretended not to see it, and passed over Jennifer and saw Drake who was in a state of panic, his face was full of disbelief and disbelief, and his open jaw seemed to be dislocated, and he couldn't close it at all.
As soon as he swept his eyes, he saw that Jennifer was still holding her right hand, her excited smile showed no signs of frustration at all, and she looked at Lan Li intently, which made Lan Li shake her head helplessly, and then also raised her right hand, Jennifer took a step forward, and then jumped up, and hit Lan Li's right hand fiercely, completing the action of high-five Xiangqing.
The sound of "popping" was crisp and loud, but it was drowned in the applause of the scene in a blink of an eye.
After Jennifer passed the blue salute, she high-fived Felicity and Charlie respectively, and finally walked around in front of Drake, clapping with admiration on her face and sending high respect.
Lan Li saw that Drake was a little stunned, as if his brain had stopped working, he had to step forward, pat Drake on the shoulder, and shouted into his ear, "Drake, come on stage to receive the award!"
But Drake's reaction was still a few beats slower, and finally Jennifer, Felicity, Charlie and others also came over and joined Lan Li's ranks, slapping Drake's back frantically, the fierce movement made a thumping sound, Drake was in pain, jumped up with bared teeth, and ran on the stage as if he had to flee, and the embarrassed appearance made the audience laugh collectively.
Taking over the trophy from Robert's hand, Drake looked at it seriously, couldn't put it down, and stayed on the trophy for a long time, but the audience was not in a hurry, no one urged Drake to hurry up and give an award speech, everyone looked at Drake quietly, and seemed to be able to clearly feel the surging emotions on Drake's body.
After a long time, Drake spoke, "I'm sorry, I was a little rude. I was just a little surprised that I would be standing here and receiving the Grand Jury Prize. Drake's words were inevitably a little embarrassed, and his eyes involuntarily reddened slightly, "This is a very special and very personal film, I really hope that someone can see it, and I hope that everyone else who sees this movie can seize the opportunity, seize every moment, and don't miss that person." ”
Caught off guard, Drake choked up, tears couldn't help but fall, and he had to take two deep breaths before adding, "Thank you Sundance for giving me a platform to show myself, otherwise this movie would just be a fool's babble." Thank you Ben York Jones for working with me on the screenplay, thank you Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlie Bray, thank you for accompanying me through this production. ”
After a slight pause, Drake wiped tears from his cheeks in embarrassment, "Finally, thank you, Lanli-Hall." Thank you for giving the film its soul and for writing the ending song for the film. I also want to thank you for not asking for pay, and at the risk of doing free day jobs, you completed this work. Thank you. ”
At the end, the audience burst into laughter, and Drake himself burst into tears, he took a deep breath, and then raised the trophy in his hand, everything was silent.
Tonight, like crazy.
