The atmosphere in the Royal Theatre was a little tense.
The rhythm and atmosphere throughout the entire award ceremony were always harmonious and relaxed. The awarding of the awards did not create any suspense, and the nervous heartstrings were not completely straightened. It truly became an academic award for outstanding actors. The discussion conference, such a serious gesture, lacks entertainment effect, but adds professional effect.
But now I can feel a throbbing of dry mouth creeping up.
No need to render, no need to create, or even to remind, when Matthew-Warchus appeared on the stage with an envelope in hand, the audience fell into a state of breathless stare, and burst out invisible. The restlessness and irritation that came out began to make the fingertips slightly seep sweat.
Matthew Warchus, a theater director for more than 25 years, has directed many classic works, such as "Henry V", "Hamlet", "Lord of the Rings", "Ghost Story", "Killing" "God of God", etc., and has cooperated with many big names in the industry.
Last year's "Matilda" was the pinnacle of his career, with nine Oliver nominations, seven trophies, and the affirmation of having won a Tony three years ago, and he's in the mix. Ranks among the top stage directors in the industry.
Tonight, Matthew's only task is to present the Best Actor in a Musical Award!
…
Tom Holland sat on the chair and twisted constantly, twisting left and right, as if a flea had crawled on his back, raised his head to look at Renly beside him, tried to say something, but He hesitated and closed his mouth again. He kept on speaking again and again for several times, but he couldn't hold back. He leaned into Ren Li's ear and asked in a low voice, "Are you nervous?"
When the Best Supporting Actor in a Musical was just announced, Tom was like a little flea, fidgeting and sweating on his palms; He couldn't turn his neck at all, and when he approached Renly to speak, his neck was still straight, and he awkwardly turned his entire shoulders, which was really funny.
The nervousness in the depths of his heart disappeared before it had time to rise, and the shallow smile in his eyes began to roll. Renly said narrowly, "I'm very nervous. What should I do?"
Tom opened his mouth slightly, blinked his eyes, bewildered and confused, as if he had not expected Renly's answer - but thinking back, he didn't know what answer he was expecting when he asked the question, so, He is also short-circuited now, and he can only reply awkwardly, "I'm also very nervous."
That innocent and cute expression really made people laugh.
"What if... if I don't win an award, then what..." Tom stammered, his voice trembling slightly, stained with a hint of crying, as if he had already thought of a negative ending, his bright eyes were covered with water fog.
Ren Li almost broke out and laughed out loud.
The atmosphere in the audience was extremely tense, and it seemed that even the air had solidified. The gurgling sound was gently surging on the eardrum, and the restless emotions could not find an accurate foothold. The fingers, the toes, the back His back was constantly adjusting and moving, trying to ease the lingering anxiety, but it was in vain after all.
If it's just EGOT, then the Oliver Awards won't be so gaffe. The key point is Renly's youth, which makes everything unbelievable. Even if people know that this is not the Tony Award, it is inevitable to expect and feel anxious—
What if they witnessed the birth of a historical moment with their own eyes
Does this mean that in the distant future, when they are grey-haired, they can proudly and proudly tell everything that happened tonight, those lights, those restlessness, those tensions, those faces, those emotions, the reality of being there in person Experience and make yourself part of the annals of history
But at this moment, looking at Tom's hazy tears of regret and regret, Renly's mood was unprecedentedly relaxed and happy, and the look between his eyebrows lightly rose, "Then we can only wait. When is it once?" He lowered his voice slightly, expressing his embarrassment in a deep and profound way.
The corners of Tom's mouth shrunk, and the mist in his eyes gradually gathered, and his watery eyes reflected the bright light of the theater scene. He had just won the Best Supporting Actor in a Musical Award not long ago, he straightened his back in a hurry, gave Renly an encouraging look, and cheered for Renly.
That pretending to be strong expression, like a warm current, gently slid over the fingertips.
This made Renly's mischief unbearable to continue. He was about to comfort Tom, saying that he never cared about the trophy, because he didn't think he could win it, but Matthew Warchu on stage But Si's voice came through clearly through the microphone, breaking the tightness that had frozen to the extreme.
Everyone had to turn their eyes away and focus on the stage, expressing respect and anticipation.
"The winner of the 2013 Oliver Award for Best Actor in a Musical is..." Without any routines or greetings, Matthew let out a sigh of relief and opened the award envelope in his hand. Lou's tension was spreading wildly in the air, his heart curled up involuntarily, so that his fingers became clumsy, and after two consecutive attempts, he was unable to open the envelope.
However, Matthew, who has been immersed in the stage for many years and faced countless accidents, did not panic at this time, but whispered into the microphone, "My wife is right, I should quit whisky." As if to say , It was because of excessive drinking that his fingers were shaking.
The audience burst into laughter.
In the auditorium, the youngest Will Young's smile was completely frozen at the corners of his mouth. The tension almost made his heart burst. He was breathing heavily but could not feel the presence of oxygen at all. It was everywhere. The feeling of suffocation hit his face, and the whole person showed a stiff and tense state.
Tom Chambers seemed to be calm, but in the process of adjusting his sitting position a little, he still revealed a hint of anxiety. For him, this is the best chance, and maybe the only chance. If you miss it tonight, you will miss it forever. After more than ten years of hard work, everything is maintained at this moment.

Michael Ball is the most calm and calm. He has been nominated, won an award, and the wind and waves have come. After going through thousands of sails, his share of accommodating all rivers makes him maintain a normal heart. Despite being a favorite tonight and looking forward to it, he managed to keep his emotions under control and keep his composure.
Even Renly himself was inevitably nervous when he was in it, and the atmosphere loomed over everyone, and there was no way to escape. But Tom's interrupted interlude still relaxed the mood again, and Matthew's teasing successfully awakened the smile on the corner of his mouth, which bloomed brightly and brightly.
Matthew finally opened the envelope, and then he exaggeratedly sighed, without needing any words, the gruff gasping sound was transmitted through the microphone, as if he had just solved a difficult problem, and the joy was natural When it was revealed, the scene was reminded of the chuckle again.
"The winner of the best actor in a musical is..." Matthew repeated again, his eyes fell on the card in his hand, the smile on his face burst into bloom, and the eyes bathed in the golden light were one by one. The spot lights up, "Renly-Hall, 'Les Miserables'."
boom!
Boom!
History has taken the most solid step!
Everyone knows that this is the Oliver Award, not the Tony Award, nor the slam moment of EGOT, but it still does not hinder the birth and creation of history—
From film to TV, from music to drama, Renly has accomplished the feat of cross-border domination, not only focusing on participation, but also successfully conquering every bunker with outstanding performance and absolute strength. It has won the recognition and praise of industry insiders in every field. The birth of each trophy is the footprint of history!
And, this November, the young actor will only turn twenty-four years old.
This is a piece of history, this is also a miracle, like the thousand and one thousand nights, even if you are in the scene, you can't help but doubt its authenticity again and again, everything is too beautiful, too great, and too much It was so magical that the language lost its color and was covered with a mysterious and dazzling halo. Everyone could only raise their heads in admiration and surrender.
At this moment, each of them is a witness to history.
Tom sat on the spot dumbfounded, staring at Matthew on the stage in a stunned manner. After a half beat, he gradually came to his senses. He turned his head and cast his gaze towards Renly. His eyes were filled with wonder and excitement. He Jingyue burst out with powerful energy in an instant, and then he burst into tears with great grievance.
Renly was completely caught off guard.
He stared blankly at Tom, who was sobbing. He was aggrieved and excited, depressed and moved, excited and happy, happy and sad, even more ups and downs than his own award, unable to extricate himself. Holding his trophy tightly, he drooped his shoulders and cried aloud.
He knew, he knew, that Tom wanted him to win more than anyone, and the rest of the cast of Les Misérables, because they fought side by side and because they fought together. They know better than anyone how much sweat and tears they themselves put behind the perfect repertoire enjoyed by the audience.
Now, it's finally time to harvest.
The smile on Renly's mouth rose little by little, he wrapped his arms around Tom's shoulders, gave the young man a warm hug, patted Tom's back lightly, and repeatedly expressed his consolation, and then came the sound of his ear. After a whimpering murmur, "You won the award, woo woo, you won the award."
Yes, he won.
