Chapter 1243: Surprises one after another
Pa, bang, bang, bang.
The whole place was filled with roaring applause, accompanied by cheers and whistles.
Connor rushed to the front without thinking too much. He just didn’t want to keep all the guests waiting. However, he only reacted after seeing the smiles of James Franco and Norah Jones. Can't help but brake.
But it was too late.
Connor took the gramophone trophy in a daze, but like a hot potato, he immediately turned around and stuffed it into Anson's arms and backed away.
Anson looked at the trophy in his arms, then looked at James who was smiling extraordinarily wildly and wantonly, and finally looked back to see Lily and Miles who had given up their positions early, and the smile at the corner of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.
Tonight, Anson's attitude was very correct -
He came to enjoy the stage.
As for awards?
Anson never thought that the nomination would be an important affirmation.
In the field of music, he has no say. He just fulfills his childhood dream in his previous life. He is very satisfied with everything he has won so far; and he truly believes that Miles and the others are better than him. These affirmations are needed.
So Anson gave up the opportunity to give his acceptance speech, so that these dreamers who love music and live and die for music can shine.
However, tonight’s harvest is far beyond imagination.
After going round and round, the gramophone trophy came into my hands again.
Anson laughed dumbly.
James was the first to take the lead in cheering, waving his hands constantly to incite the atmosphere, gesturing for the Staples Center audience to shout louder and louder.
Norah on the side looked at this scene with dumbfounded eyes. She couldn't hold it back, burst out laughing, and quickly covered her mouth to hide her expression.
This time, Anson did not coy. Under the attention of everyone, he took a step forward, raised the gramophone trophy in his hand, and took a deep breath.
In an instant, the entire audience fell silent, waiting for Anson's acceptance speech.
Including the Staples Center entrance is no exception.
Then, Anson let out a breath.
"Thank you."
Gently raising the trophy, Anson turned and left.
Just like that... left...
The whole audience was stunned. They were so surprised and shocked that they opened their mouths slightly and forgot to react. Their brains were all in a mess and they were all briefly stunned.
Poof.
Gloria couldn't hold it back and laughed directly——
Anson, indeed Anson, really...a model of not taking the usual path.
Hahaha, Gloria burst out laughing.
Archie looked at Gloria stupidly, and after all, he couldn't control himself and started laughing.
Anson was already standing in front of Connor, placed the gramophone trophy in his arms, and asked directly, "There is still time, do you want to say a few words? If not, we will leave, but There may never be another chance.”
Tonight, August 31st, the band won three gramophone trophies, second only to Beyoncé. The competition for subsequent awards is fierce. This may be their last time on stage, so Anson did not refuse the opportunity and seized the opportunity to express his feelings at this time. The most sincere and direct feeling at this moment.
So, where is Connor?
If you don’t say it, you will regret it. Last chance?
An idea firmly grasped his heart. Under Anson's gaze, Miles and Lily both pushed him behind him. Connor's body reacted before his brain.
Connor took two steps forward uneasily, panicking around, and his mind went blank. He still didn't know whether he wanted to give an acceptance speech or not. Not sure what he was thinking, he took the gramophone trophy from Anson's hand, and just like Ruth grasped the door panel at the end of "Titanic", she clung to the life-saving straw and stood helpless.
Then, unable to hold back, the tears fell down.
Feeling aggrieved, but also filled with emotion.
"Two years ago at this time, I was working as a tally clerk in a supermarket. I left New York in a state of embarrassment and returned to my hometown in disgrace. I buried my music dream in shame and became a joke in the eyes of others."
"I am the fool who others say has no talent but overestimates his abilities and wants to stand on the Grammy stage. I refuse to believe in myself and dare not believe in myself, because believing in dreams has made my life a success. Nothing."
"Lying on the mattress in my parents' basement, I couldn't face myself."
"And now, here I am, in the Staples Center. On the Les Mills stage, I still dare not face myself.”
“Not because it means success, but because it means that dreams exist.”
"But now, I just want to say that I am very happy, happy to have Miles and Lily, happy to have Anson, happy that we can stand on this stage and enjoy music and dreams, so that life can extend infinitely beyond the mediocre routine. Maybe."
"I'm happy, yes, happy."
"So...thank you. Thank you!"
Connor burst into tears, and his whole body curled up into a ball. He could no longer control his emotions, sobbing like a lost child, but A big smile bloomed at the end of the tears. The way he cried and laughed without hiding it was so real and sincere.
No tricks, just a pure heart.
Now people finally understand the charm of the August 31st band's music -
Sincerity. purely. Simple.
Everything returns to its origin, awakening the emotion that made them fall in love with music in the first place. This emotion is completely different in everyone but leads to the same goal by different paths. No one is an exception.
However.
Anson and Lily stood in the back, trying very hard to hold back their laughter, but finally they secretly laughed out loud; Miles silently looked up at the sky, counting the lights on the ceiling, trying his best to control the rise. corner of mouth.
Connor turned around and saw this scene. At this moment, he finally realized what had happened. He had been running away and hiding all night, trying to cover up his embarrassment and embarrassment, but the result was still exposed, and it was broadcast live across the United States. On stage at the Les Mills Awards.
Ah!
Connor let out a wail, his shoulders drooping, hopeless.
Even though he was three steps away from the topic, Connor's voice still spread through the microphone, so that the audience in the front row could hear it clearly.
Hahaha, hahaha.
Can't control it anymore.
In the side stage, Higgins was hurriedly raising his hands to wipe the tears from his cheeks.
He didn't realize that he was so embarrassed, but he couldn't control his emotions at all.
Tonight, he witnessed the band devote themselves wholeheartedly to the rehearsal. He felt that the band put aside the burden of the award ceremony and focused all their attention on the performance. He watched the band truly put down their burdens and enjoy every minute of tonight. Seconds -
This is unique.
You know, this is the Grammys, and everyone will inevitably be excited, excited, and excited when they come here. Even if you keep a calm mind before attending the award ceremony and truly be in the atmosphere of the Staples Center, it is still inevitable. The ground was involved in that kind of tension and uneasiness.
But the August Thirty-One band did not. In their own way, they transformed tonight's Grammys into a stage for their own youthful bloom and eternal summer.
Those laughter, those splendors, those wantonness, will always be fixed at the end of summer on August 31st, and will not disappear.
