"Renly-Hall, 'Love Crazy'."
Mark's voice came through the microphone and spread clearly in the auditorium. There was a humming sound at the scene, which made the air involuntarily tense slightly, and everyone couldn't help but start turning their heads. All eyes swarmed towards the "Crazy in Love" crew, and then they applauded collectively. The thunderous applause came like a tsunami.
Missing the Audience Award first, then the Director Award, the highly sought-after "Love Crazy" that made a big splash at this year's Sundance Film Festival looked a bit dull at tonight's ceremony, as if the past few days have The pursuit and the noise are just like a bunch of bubbles. When the breeze blows, they melt and disintegrate without a trace, leaving not even a trace.
This situation is really rare at Sundance.
This is not Toronto, the media will not deliberately pursue a certain work, and the audience will not deliberately elevate a certain work. Excellent is excellent, and bad is bad. Almost everyone took it for granted that "Crazy Love" was going to sweep the army tonight, but it was unexpectedly quiet tonight.
Now, the first trophy is long overdue, but better late than absent.
More importantly, this trophy honors Renly. Renly, who was born in the past six months, gave a moving performance in "Crazy Love", and showed an amazing performance in the actor position. Talented Renly!
From "War in the Pacific", which won the Emmy Award, to "Buried Alive", which was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, and then "Crazy in Love", which won the Sundance Special Jury Award, there are only three works, but Renly has all the works. He showed his acting talent in a azimuth, and he was born with a rocket soaring attitude, and he stood out among the new generation of actors!
incredible! Really unbelievable!
Every performance, every role, every work, Renly once again presented a refreshing performance, the voices of amazement and praise were repeated over and over again, so that people began to be at a loss for words. In addition to genius, is there any more appropriate word to express the admiration in your heart
Even Natalie Portman, who has been famous for a long time and has accumulated a lot of money, seems to be slightly inferior in the face of Renly's rising momentum.
This reminds people of the feature of the "New York Times" three days ago. Perhaps, they are indeed witnessing a legend and a piece of history.
One can dislike the movie "Love Crazy", but no one can deny that Renly's performance is amazing. Even the most critical of film critics don't hesitate to send their praises. Almost the entire Park City was cheering, jumping, and boiling because of Renly. At this moment, the audience applauded to express their excitement, which is the best proof.
"Ah! It's you, it's you!" Jennifer Lawrence jumped up first, grabbed Renly's shoulder, and shook it vigorously, with an ecstatic expression, as if the winner was not Renly, but Just like her.
Felicity, also smiling, stood up, looked at Renly quietly, and then applauded enthusiastically.
No one understands better than her how outstanding Renly's performance is. Even now, she still can't help recalling the details and scenes of the filming, savoring the bitterness and excitement. Mixed emotions. Tonight, this special jury award is fully deserved!
Renly's reaction was a little slow, and the first thought in his mind was: Did Mark miss the winner? Just like at the 89th Academy Awards in 2017, there was a big oolong, the wrong award envelope, and the wrong winner, and a big joke was brewed.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains, Wind and Moon"
A second thought followed: Can a special jury award be awarded to an actor? Shouldn't this be awarded to the film? Berlin, Cannes and Venice are all like this, so what about Sundance? .
Then, I saw the cheering Jennifer, whistling, screaming, and jumping in place. Renly's mood couldn't help soaring because of the festive party gesture, and the smile on the corner of his mouth followed. With Jennifer's raised eyebrows raised together.
Renly stood up, then Jennifer stepped up first and gave him a big hug, "You deserve it! You deserve it!" Then Felicity, then Charlie.
Jennifer took a half step back, looking at Renly in front of her, her eyes blazing with ambition. She knew that Renly was an excellent actor, and he was still improving; but she would not easily admit defeat. On this road of exploration of acting skills, she had to follow in Renly's footsteps and move on.
"Love Crazy" is just the beginning, and she can't wait for the next opportunity to work with Renly and play against each other.
Finally, Drake. He gave Renly a big hug, patted Renly's back hard, and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything. He could only show a bright smile, nod his head, and hold it high. He raised his hands and gave Ren Li a round of applause, conveying his true emotions in the simplest way.
The moment Renly stepped onto the stage, the applause and cheers of the audience reached a high point, and the deafening sound reverberated in the entire auditorium. Tonight's award ceremony reached a real climax at this moment. Not even the Grand Jury Prize, but the Special Jury Prize. Looking back, you can even see that many people stood up one after another, standing up to applaud, expressing their congratulations and admiration to Renly with their actual behavior.
Such treatment is truly appalling.
This is Sundance, the destination for independent films; here is Park City, the paradise for movie lovers.
Here, there is no age limit, no qualification barriers, and no fame constraints. People just simply love and worship movies. As long as they have talent, ability, and enthusiasm, they can find it here. The fiery destination in the heart, and a group of fellow fans, roam freely and freely in the movie world.
It was as if at this moment, Renly, who was only 21 years old, and Renly, who had been on the screen for less than a year, won the cheers of the entire Sundance!
Looking at the boiling ocean in front of him, Renly's heart surged, even more excited than the Emmy moment, even more excited than the red carpet to win the audience's solidarity, even more excited than when the first scene of "War in the Pacific" started filming. Also be excited.
It's not because of this trophy. In terms of the weight of the trophy, how can the Sundance Special Jury Award be compared to the Emmy Awards? It's because of this passion, pure, simple, sincere passion .
This group of people who gathered together because of their love for movies broke down the barriers because of movies, gathered together happily, and cheered for their favorite works. They put aside the troubles of life, their social responsibilities, and the burden of age. They just threw their blood into the world of movies like moths to a flame, burning their own lives recklessly. Life, blooming with dazzling brilliance.
At this moment, Renly felt an unprecedented sense of integration, and evolved into a part of the cheering and shouting at the scene, becoming a part of the Sundance Film Festival, crazy, strong, public, and casual. Also, freedom.
Ren Li's eyes were a little wet, but the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but start to bloom recklessly. He didn't need restraint, he didn't need a gentleman, and he didn't need restraint. Here, on this stage, at this moment, he can be his true self, just like the self who is standing on the stage, standing in front of the camera, and devoted to the performance.
"Congratulations." Mark's voice rang in his ear, he gave Renly a polite hug, then patted Renly on the back and said loudly, "I'm jealous of you, at this moment."
Renly turned his head and saw Mark's simple and bright smile. He couldn't help laughing happily, and nodded to Mark, "Thank you."
Taking the trophy from Mark, Renly looked at it carefully and seriously. It was a very ordinary trophy, a transparent diamond-shaped trophy with no special design, not to mention gorgeous borders, but it was Such a bland trophy is so heavy, it weighs heavily on my heart, making it a little breathless. The warmth in his eyes turned into a warm stream of happiness, and his eyes were filled with a bright smile.
"Thank you." Renly raised his head and said into the microphone. His voice calmed the cheers at the scene, but a whistle could still be heard, which caused everyone to burst into laughter. "Jennifer, thank you for being so supportive. I will not forget the crew members in the acceptance speech." Renly made a joke that made the audience burst into laughter.
Jennifer, who was still whistling just now, suddenly became a well-behaved lady, standing there with a dignified appearance, her face full of innocence, as if she didn't know what Renly was talking about. Everyone else in the "Crazy Love" crew couldn't help laughing.
"I love Sundance because it's all about movies and just about movies, and it reminds me of the joy of being on stage for the first time and trying to perform." Renly grinned widely. , the hazy tears in the corners of the eyes shone under the light, and the emotion was even stronger than the Emmy Awards. "So, I think, presenting this trophy to me today is a reminder of where this dream path started: I'm an actor, and I'm trying to be a real actor."
The thunderous applause sounded again, mixed with many whistles, and the scene was very lively.
"It was a very special experience to be in 'Love Crazy', thank you Felicity, thank you Charlie, thank you Jennifer..." Renly deliberately paused for a moment on the name "Jennifer", the meaning could not be more obvious, it was another With laughter, "And most importantly, thank you Drake. Thank you for inviting me to star in this work, and thank you for taking me through this painful and beautiful memory."
"Finally, thanks to everyone who loves movies."
