There was a slight tension in the atmosphere at the Royal Theatre.

The rhythm and atmosphere of the whole award ceremony are always harmonious and relaxed. Without deliberately creating suspense, the tense heartstrings of awards are not completely straightened. It has really become an academic discussion meeting to commend excellent actors. Such a serious attitude lacks entertainment effect, but adds professional effect.

But now you can feel the palpitation of a dry mouth spreading quietly.

There is no need to render, create, or even remind. When Matthew warchus appears on the stage with an envelope in his hand, the whole audience is in a state of breath holding gaze. The agitation and stimulation that burst out invisibly start to sweat out of his fingertips.

Matthew watchus is a drama director who has been in business for more than 25 years. He has directed many classic works, such as "Henry V", "Hamlet", "Lord of the rings", "human ghost", "God of killing" and so on. He has cooperated with many celebrities in the industry.

Last year's "Matilda" created the peak of his career. After receiving nine Oliver Award nominations, he won seven trophies. In addition to winning the Tony Award three years ago, he also became one of the top stage directors in the industry.

Tonight, Matthew's only task is to present the best actor award of musical!

……

Tom Holland was sitting on the chair twirling, twirling left and right, as if a flea had climbed on his back. He looked up at lanli and tried to say something, but he hesitated and closed his mouth. He repeatedly tried to say something again and again, but he couldn't hold back. He came to lanli's ear and asked in a low voice, "Are you nervous?"

Just announced the best supporting actor of musical, Tom is like a little flea, sitting and sweating; Now it's getting worse, even more nervous and excited than he won the prize. The stiff neck can't turn at all. When he comes near Langley, his neck still straightens up and clumsily turns his whole shoulder. It's very funny.

Before he had time to appear in his heart, the nervous mood quietly disappeared, and the shallow smile at the bottom of his eyes began to roll up. Lan Li said narrowly, "very nervous. What shall we do? "

Tom opened his mouth and blinked his eyes slightly, revealing his bewilderment and perplexity. He didn't seem to expect such an answer from Langley. But when he asked the question, he didn't know what answer he was looking forward to, so now his head is short circuited, and he can only answer awkwardly, "I'm nervous, too."

That innocent and lovely expression really makes people laugh.

"If... If you don't win the prize, what can you do..." Tom stammered, his voice trembled slightly, stained with a trace of crying. It seemed that he had associated with the negative ending, and his bright eyes were covered with mist.

Lan Li almost broke the gong and laughed.

The whole atmosphere was tense to the extreme. Even the air seemed to solidify. The gurgling restlessness was surging gently on the eardrum. The restless mood could not find an accurate foothold. The fingers, toes and back were constantly adjusting and moving, trying to ease the lingering uneasiness, but in vain.

If it's just egot, the Oliver prize won't be so gaffe. The key is the youth of Langley, which makes everything strange. Even if people know that it's not the Tony prize, it's hard to avoid expectation and anxiety——

What if they witnessed the birth of a historical moment?

Does this mean that in the distant future, when they are gray haired, they can tell what happened tonight with pride, the lights, the agitation, the tension, the faces, the emotions, and the real experience of coming to the scene, making themselves a part of history?

But at this moment, looking at Tom's sad and regretful eyes, Lan Li's mood was more relaxed and joyful than ever before, and the expression between his eyebrows was flying gently, "then we can only wait. I don't know when the next time is. " He lowered his voice slightly and expressed his stranglehold in a deep and deep way.

As soon as Tom's mouth shriveled, the mist began to gather in his eyes. His watery eyes reflected the bright light of the theater scene. It seemed that he might cry at any time. However, he caught the cup above his knee in his spare time. He straightened up and gave an encouraging look, Cheer for lanli.

That feigned strong expression, like a warm current, gently sliding fingertips.

This makes Langley's prank can't bear to continue. He is preparing to comfort Tom, saying that he never cared about the cup, because he didn't think he could win the prize, but Matthew vauchus's voice on the stage was clearly transmitted through the microphone, breaking the tension of the scene.

Everyone had to look away and focus on the stage, showing respect and expectation.

"The winner of the 2013 Oliver Award for best musical actor is..." without routine or greetings, Matthew took a breath and opened the award envelope. However, the tension of rain and wind is spreading in the air, and his heart can't help curling up, so that his fingers become clumsy. He tried twice in a row, He couldn't even tear open the envelope.

However, Matthew, who has been immersed in the stage for many years and faced with numerous accidents, did not panic at this time. Instead, he whispered to the microphone and said, "my wife is right. I should give up whiskey." As if to say that they are because of excessive drinking led to the condition of shaking fingers.

The audience burst into laughter.

Among the audience, will young, the most junior, has completely frozen his smile in the corner of his mouth. That kind of tension almost makes his heart burst open. He takes a big breath, but he doesn't feel the existence of oxygen at all. The ubiquitous sense of suffocation comes to his face, and the whole person is in a state of stiffness and tension.

Tom chambers seems to be calm, but in the process of slightly adjusting his sitting posture, he still reveals a trace of anxiety. For him, this is the best opportunity, maybe the only one. If we miss it tonight, we will miss it forever. We have worked hard for more than ten years, and all of them are in this moment.

Michael Bauer is the most calm and calm, nominated, won a prize, all the waves have come, after a thousand sails of the sea, let him keep the ordinary heart. Although tonight is a popular candidate, but also with expectations, but still very good to control the mood, keep calm.

Even Lan Li himself, it is inevitable to be nervous when he is in it. That kind of atmosphere covers everyone firmly, and there is no exception. But Tom's interruption, or let the mood relaxed again, Matthew's ridicule, successfully awakened the corner of the mouth smile, bright and beautiful to bloom.

Matthew finally opened the envelope, and then he sighed with exaggeration. He didn't need any language. The rough gasp came out through the microphone, as if he had just solved a hard problem. His joy was naturally revealed, and the scene also remembered the light smile.

"The winner of the best musical actor is..." Matthew repeated again, his eyes fell on the card in his hand, his smile burst out, and his eyes bathed in the golden light brightened up little by little, "blue hall, miserable world."

Boom!

Boom!

History, has taken the most solid step!

As we all know, this is the Oliver prize, not the Tony prize, not the Grand Slam moment of egot, but it still does not hinder the birth and creation of history——

From film to television, and from music to drama, lanli has accomplished the feat of cross-border hegemony, not only focusing on participation, but also successfully conquering every blockhouse with outstanding performance and absolute strength, and winning the recognition and praise of people in every field. The birth of every trophy is the footprint of history!

Moreover, this November, the young actor will turn 24.

This is a period of history and a miracle. Like a thousand and ten nights, even if you are on the scene, you still can't help doubting its authenticity again and again. Everything is too beautiful, too great, and even too magical, which makes the language lose its color. After being covered with a mysterious and dazzling aura, people can only look up and worship.

At this moment, each of them is a witness of history.

Tom sat in the same place dumbfounded, staring at Matthew on the stage. After half a beat, he gradually reflected. He turned his head and cast his eyes at Lan Li. His eyes were filled with incredible and surging emotion. His excitement and joy burst out with great power. Then he began to cry bitterly.

Lanli was completely unprepared.

Looking at the sobbing Tom, he was aggrieved, excited, depressed, moved, excited, happy and sad. He even had more ups and downs than he had won the prize. He held his cup tightly in his hands, lowered his shoulders and burst into tears.

He knew, he knew, that Tom wanted him to win more than anyone else, and so did the rest of the cast of les miserables, because they fought side by side and because they fought together. They know better than anyone how much sweat and tears the audience has paid behind the perfect play.

Now, it's time to harvest.

The smile on the corner of lanli's mouth rose little by little. He took Tom's shoulder and gave him a warm hug. He patted Tom's back gently to comfort him. Then there was a whimper in his ear, "you won the prize, whimper, you won the prize."

Yes, he won the prize.
