One Thousand Four Hundred and One The only Way

Andrew and Renly. In a sense, they are the same person inside and outside the mirror.

Andrew, a nineteen-year-old boy, entered Shelford, the Juilliard School in the real world; then he was favored by Fletcher and entered the Academy's top jazz band, becoming the The youngest player in the band.

On the one hand, he has low self-esteem, ridicule and disdain from his father, and from his own daze and distress, and he is never sure whether he can really achieve his goal; on the other hand, he firmly believes that his dream is to become another Charlie- Parker or Buddy Ritchie, he refused to give up and refused to compromise, and continued to move forward like a bull.

The first rehearsal for a jazz band was an oxymoron for Andrew.

He was nervous, worried that his performance might not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the band and embarrassed in front of all the top musicians; but he was also proud, fantasizing that his performance could be born out of nowhere, shocking everyone, overnight Climb to the top of the pyramid and enjoy all the applause and lights.

It was in this mix of excitement and anxiety, anticipation and apprehension that Andrew joined the band's rehearsal for the first time. But everything, everything, fell apart in front of Fletcher's wind and rain, and before he could touch the peak, he fell into the bottomless abyss.

So did Renly.

On the outside, he is confident, but deep down he is not confident, and even has low self-esteem, and there is always a trace of self-doubt and hesitation. However, he still did not give up lightly, but rushed all the way towards his dream, devoted himself with all his heart, and praised again and again, succeeded again and again, and recognized him again and again, allowing him to climb to the top step by step.

Inevitably, he still got carried away, and he also began to be at a loss.

He needs to get back to his original intention, he needs to take the lead, and he needs to move forward.

So, he voluntarily became Andrew, breaking the line between fantasy and reality, and even after the filming was over, he refused to completely break away from the state of acting and remained immersed in Andrew's world.

Those proud, those confident, those expectations, and those dreams, all shattered and disintegrated in Fletcher's thunder, fled in the storm like a bereaved dog, covered in mud and embarrassment, but could not find a place to live. , can only shiver and wander for a long time in the cold and shame.

He carefully hid himself in the darkness, licking the wound all by himself.

He wasn't sure if this was the right way, if he could find the right way out, if he chose a way that was too stupid and too clumsy, but...no one has the answer, can it?

Because he is the first actor in history to set such a record. There are no ancients, no comers, he has no object of reference, and no model for consultation. He can only grope his way in the dark like a blind man, and like a fool, he keeps hitting the south wall foolishly. He didn't look back when he hit the south wall, but stupidly looked forward to being able to break through the south wall.

It was the only way he knew.

He needs to firmly remember that shame, and then firmly remember that kind of humility and devotion, and further firmly remember the original intention of the beginning of the dream.

Awards are very important, and awards are very, very important. No one can deny this. It can even be said that it is a key criterion for measuring the weight of life in history and industry, not only in the film industry, but also in literature, painting, technology, education, brokerage, and politics. Wait, wait, there are no exceptions to all aspects of life, and Renly naturally includes them.

But awards lie.

Not the meaning of "lie", but the illusion of the times. Because each award is of great significance at various levels such as era, history and society.

In 1989, the film "Drive for Miss Daisy", which focused on the phenomenon of white and black relations in the American South,

It was an epoch-making work at the time. Although the apartheid system has been abolished for many years, the deep-rooted discrimination still has a strong influence in all aspects. In the end, this film became the Oscar for the following year. The first film ever to win best picture without being nominated for best director.

Back then, it was a big upset, until twenty-four years later, "Escape from Tehran" became the second work in history to create such an achievement.

After the passage of time, purely from an artistic point of view, "Paradise Cinema" or "Goodfellas" in the same year are better and more classic choices, while "Born in Seven" won the Best Director Award in the same year. The Fourth of the Month" is also a work worthy of recognition.

This is not to say that "Driving for Miss Daisy" is not good enough. In fact, the summit of this work has truly changed the social phenomenon and played an important role in eliminating racial barriers. This is a work of historical significance. , and Oscar has also taken a crucial step.

Artistic creation is not only for cultivating sentiments, but also for promoting society. Just like the Korean movie "The Furnace" directly promoted the melting pot law, the so-called politics/politics/correctness is always correct, because this is the driving force of social progress. An important part of. If the so-called "correctness" is lacking, the spirit and meaning of art itself will be lost after it is disconnected from society.

The reason why I give an example is to emphasize that each award is time-sensitive. Only by looking at the original background of the times and social phenomena can we understand the status and role of the award in the long history. Therefore, the award will be " lie”; but the work itself does not.

In other words, art does not lie.

Alfred Hitchcock's "Butterfly Dream", "Rear Window", "Psycho" and other works, even after sixty or seventy years, will still not be out of date; Stanley Library Brick's "2001 A Space Odyssey", "A Clockwork Orange", "The Shining", "Full Metal Jacket" and other works can still influence generations of artistic creators.

These works have all missed awards for a variety of reasons, but time still proves their greatness and timeless.

That's what Renly has been saying since EGOT. In the face of congratulations from colleagues, blessings from friends, and interviews with reporters, Renly said all of this, but what he said was his own words, and his mentality and actions could not be changed casually according to his own wishes. Just take action.

He can't say for sure if the "Boomstick" movie and Andrew's role will go down in history, but that's not the point, the point is that he'll be as whole-heartedly focused on the character and acting as Andrew's on his drumming skills. .

Temporarily put aside any historical records, put aside all the attention, and put aside what is famous for the past, really down-to-earth return to the most basic and most primitive place, and start from scratch again. In this sense, Renly and Andrew are becoming more and more similar and more overlapping.

He needs to break through.

However, how should he break through? How can he break through? Can he make a breakthrough?

"Are you rushing or procrastinating?"

"Jesus-damn-Christ! When did Shelford start admitting mentally retarded?"

"You can't even read sheet music, can you?"

"You're a dog/shit/mother/gun with no prospects, no value, no friends."

"You must be very miserable. Are you miserable now?"

...

"You have no talent."

"Look, those are geniuses. Real geniuses not only have talent and ability, but also need to have the ability to appreciate and identify. They know what they are good at and what they are not good at. They know how to stop losses and give up in time. Only in this way can Reach the top. You? You're not. You're just a mediocre person who works tirelessly. Do you know who else is like that? Farming cattle."

"This is the dumbest and most boring show I've ever seen."

"Dream? God, are you sure you're a Hall?"

"Shut up. Shut up! Shut up! You don't know if you're gifted, don't you even know when you should shut up?"

"Philip, Philip, take him away. I have a terrible headache right now, and there's no way to deal with this boring stuff."

"Everybody thinks they're special, everybody thinks they're geniuses, everybody thinks they're unique, but I tell you, no. They don't, and neither do you."

"You're not stupid, you should at least know how to give up."

"You're just another fool."

"You should stop."

...

"That's impossible, you know."

"It's a good dream, anyway, I've been in a hospital bed all my life. Since I'm dreaming, why not make it bigger? Right?"

"Actor? Haha, you're a humorous guy."

"You mean, you're an actor in your head?"

"Dream is everyone's freedom. I just want to be an astronaut. It's a dream that can never be seen, right?"

"Anyway, lying here every day, daydreaming is the only thought. Don't laugh at him."

...

"Start practicing hard now, Neiman."

What should he do? What should he do now?

He is not a waste, he is not a fool, he is not a daydream, he can, he firmly believes that he can achieve his dream, and no hardship can defeat him:

He will stand up, he will fight back, he will regain the initiative, he will prove himself, he will ruthlessly make those contemptuous eyes bow their heads and admit their mistakes, he will stand under the spotlight Yes, he will have his own stage and time, and he will go down in history.

But what should he do? The disturbing thoughts were tightly trapped in his mind, like being imprisoned in a cage, the cage was slowly and slowly shrinking, the panic and depression, the suffocation and the fear were making him lose. Proportion, so that the whole person began to shiver.

What to do, what to do, what to do, he's about to suffocate.
