Chapter Eighty-Four: The Lost Stars

A young brown-haired actor walked onto the stage and said to the audience with a smile on his face: "Over The Rainbo, White Christmas, Chef, Moon River......"

These are all classic songs that have won the Oscar for Best Song in the past, "Each of the above songs is carefully created by composers and singers, and each song contains the essence of the movie, and we are now awarding the Best Film Song Award." ”

"A few singers will perform songs for us, so I hope you will enjoy ...... carefully."

After that, the red curtain on the left side of the stage was raised, and the theme song "Until" from the movie "Love in Another World" was sung by singer Alan Sting.

As a well-known lyrical singer, Sting's "Until" is as eloquent as the love between men and women in the protagonists of the movie, and the charming voice of a mature man is accompanied by smooth music played live, which makes people feel intoxicated.

At the end of the song, the curtain fell in applause, and the mother on the other side pulled up, this time there was indeed only one woman in white standing in front of the screen of the mountain water.

Enya, "May It Be", The Lord of the Rings.

Anyone who has listened to Enya's songs knows that as soon as she speaks, her incredibly clear voice will bring a whole new world to you, and although you are in the warm Kodak theater, everyone can't help but get goosebumps.

Ethereal, pure, you won't believe there is such a special sound in the world until you hear it.

After Enya's singing, although everyone knew that there would be a singing performance next, they still couldn't suppress their enthusiasm and applauded loudly.

But then the curtain in the middle was raised, and a man in a black suit stood in the center of the stage, undermined by small orange-red light bulbs.

I saw his eyes slightly closed as if no one was next to him, as if the singing of the two famous singers just now had no effect on him.

Then the music quietly sounded, and the young man held the microphone in both hands: "Please don't think that I'm just a dream-chasing boy who dreams all day long-"

"Alone in the dark, hold my hand and see where we go tonight-"

Compared to the accompaniment of a small band behind Alan Sting, and Enya alone can support the whole performance, there is only one guitar player behind the man.

The young man's voice seemed to come out of the air, although it came suddenly, it was not offensive, on the contrary, his voice contained a burst of energy, a warm energy!

If Sting's love songs are a little cliché, and Enya's spiritual music is a little cold, then the male singer's singing voice can't help but have a warm power!

is not reckless, nor overbearing, just like a silent spring rain, unconsciously moistening and infecting all people.

"Romance is infinite, but there is only one night of madness, I am hopelessly in love with you, so let's get drunk in tears-"

Although the song just now and the performance just now are excellent, it is hard for you to deny that in this world, there are times that create heroes.

The unprecedented catastrophe in the history of North America has only passed half a year, and even Hollywood stars who seem to live in another world can't help but be hit and at a loss, let alone the general North American public?

Shocked, terrified, frightened!

This is the biggest change in the psychology of the masses after 911, like an "inflection point" in the stock market, knocking over the original vision of the new millennium.

Although "Beautiful Mind" soothed many audiences with its "crooked hits", and then won today's reputation, the young man standing in the center of the stage has a talent that is truly enviable.

Hollywood insiders are circulating an urban legend that "Begin Again" is an amazing work written by Sid in a very short period of time after witnessing 911.

From the idea to the shooting, to the completion, the whole process takes less than half a year, no, it should be said, 3 months at most!

Compared to other hits, "Begin Again" is a musical film through and through, not even a classic musical film like "Moulin Rouge."

Using music to bring out the story, using the story to create music, Hollywood has not had such an excellent musical movie for a long time, let alone appeared in just a few months after 911?

Sid's "Lost Star" at this time is different from the effect he sang at the 911 commemorative concert, a little less ethereal, a little more warm, even if it is a raised falsetto, it seems that it is not as sharp as before, but in the free flow, it shows the singer's extraordinary strength as light!

Sid broke off the microphone, grabbed the pole with the other hand, and selflessly rushed the song to the climax in the middle: "God, please tell us why teenagers always squander their youth-

In this hunting season, the lost lamb is also seeking meaning on the road of death-

We're all lost stars, trying to light up the night—"

It wasn't until Sid's voice disappeared into the air that everyone in the theater reacted for a long time, and after a slight blankness, there was even more enthusiastic applause.

Many people quietly wiped away their tears, no wonder the academy dared to put Sid's "Lost Star" at the end, although as early as the rehearsal, there were rumors that Sid would perform on stage in person.

But most people are skeptical, not that they think Sid sings poorly.

Whether it is the shocking singing of last year's 911 commemorative concert or Sid's record-breaking debut album this year, it is well known in North America.

But watching a talented young director run to sing "without doing his job" still makes many people feel incredible and unrealistic.

But now, Sid sang directly on the stage of the Oscars, and everyone couldn't help but be moved by it.

The song performances of "Monster Inc" and "Vanilla Sky", which were ranked later, became obviously boring.

You must know that the theme song of "Vanilla Sky" invited Paul McCartney, a former member of the Beatles, to sing it live.

Although the audience present is not the musician experts on the Grammys, the stars who have been immersed in various top arts for a long time also have obvious gaps in their performances.

After a few boring minutes of shivering, it was finally time to reveal the answer.

Jennifer Lopez, carrying a gold envelope, walked up to the stage, and after introducing five more finalists on one side, she drew the list: "Oscar winners are Sid Leonhardt, Max Martin!

The noise and cheers that shook the roof exploded instantly, and before Sid could react, Amy Adams, who was beside him, had already hugged him, and Jeremy stood up and slapped him on the shoulder.

Then he saw the fat blond Max Martin coming from the back row with a confused expression.
