The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1243 Surprises one after another
Clap clap, clap clap.

The entire audience was filled with thunderous applause, along with cheers and whistles.

Connor rushed to the front without thinking too much, just because he didn't want to keep the guests waiting for too long. However, he reacted after seeing the smiles of James Franco and Norah Jones and couldn't help but brake.

But it was too late.

Connor took the phonograph trophy in a daze, but treated it like a hot potato. He immediately turned around and stuffed it into Anson's arms, backing away.

Anson looked at the trophy in his arms, then at James who was laughing particularly wildly and wantonly, and finally turned around to see Lily and Miles who had made way early, and a smile rose slightly at the corners of his mouth.

Tonight, Anson's attitude was very correct -

He just came to enjoy the stage.

As for the awards?

Anson never thought that the nomination was already an important recognition.

In the field of music, he had no say. He was simply fulfilling his childhood dream in his previous life. He was very content with everything he had won so far; and he truly believed that Miles and others needed this affirmation more than he did.

So Anson gave up the opportunity to give a speech to accept the award, allowing these dreamers who love music, live and die for music to shine.

However, the gains tonight far exceeded expectations.

After going around in circles, the phonograph trophy finally came into his hands again.

Anson laughed dumbly.

James was the first to take the lead in making a fuss, constantly waving his hands to stir up the atmosphere, and signaling the audience at the Staples Center to shout louder and louder.

Nora on the side looked at the scene in amazement. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then quickly covered her mouth to hide her expression.

This time, Anson did not hesitate. Under everyone's attention, he took a step forward, raised the gramophone trophy in his hand, and took a deep breath.

In an instant, the whole audience fell silent, quietly waiting for Anson's acceptance speech.

This includes the entrance to the Staples Center.

Then, Anson let out a breath.

"Thank you."

After gently raising the trophy, Anson turned and left.

Just like that... left...

The whole audience was stunned, because they were so surprised and shocked that they opened their mouths slightly and forgot to react. Their brains were a mess and they were all stunned for a short time.

puff.

Gloria couldn't help laughing out loud -

Anson, as expected of Anson, is truly... an example of someone who does not follow the beaten path.

Hahahaha, Gloria burst into laughter.

Archie looked at Gloria stupidly, and finally couldn't control himself and started laughing too.

Anson was already standing in front of Connor, placing the phonograph trophy in his arms, and asked directly, "There's still time, do you want to say a few words of thanks? If not, we'll leave, but you may never have another chance."

Tonight, August 31st 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 most sincere and direct feelings at this moment.

So, what about Connor?

If you don't say it, you will regret it. Last chance?
An idea gripped his heart tightly. Under Anson's gaze, Miles and Lily both pushed him from behind, and Connor's body reacted before his brain.

Connor took two steps forward nervously, looking around in panic, his mind blank. He still hadn't figured out whether he should give a speech to accept the award, nor was he sure what he was thinking. He took the phonograph trophy from Anson, grasping at the straw like Rose grasping at the door in the end of "Titanic", and stood there at a loss.

Then, I couldn't hold back my tears and they just fell.

Feeling aggrieved, yet full of emotion.

"Two years ago, I was working as a stock clerk in a supermarket. I left New York in disgrace and returned to my hometown in disgrace. I buried my musical dream in shame and became a laughing stock in the eyes of others."

"I am the fool that others say has no talent but 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 me accomplish nothing in my life."

“Lying on a mattress in my parents’ basement, I couldn’t face myself.”

"And now, I'm standing here on the Grammy stage at the Staples Center, and I still can't face myself."

"Not because it means success, but because it means the dream exists. I am ashamed of myself for ever doubting and denying it."

"But now, I just want to say that I am very happy. I am happy to have Miles and Lily, happy to have Anson, and happy that we can stand on this stage to enjoy music and dreams, and let life extend infinite possibilities beyond the mundane routine."

"I am very happy, yes, happy."

"So…thank you. Thank you!"

Connor burst into tears and curled up into a ball, unable to control his emotions any more. He sobbed like a lost child, but at the end of his tears he smiled broadly. His unconcealed crying and laughing looked so real and sincere.

There are no routines, just a pure heart.

Now people finally understand the charm of the music of the August 31st band——

Sincerity. Purity. Simplicity.

Everything returns to the starting point, awakening the emotion that made them fall in love with music in the first place. This emotion is completely different for everyone but leads to the same result, and no one is an exception.

however.

Anson and Lily stood at the back, trying very hard to hold back their laughter, but they finally laughed out loud; Miles silently looked up at the sky, counting the lights on the ceiling, trying his best to control the upward curve of his mouth.

Connor turned around and saw this scene. At this moment he finally realized what had happened. He had been avoiding and hiding the whole night, trying to cover up his embarrassment and awkwardness, but in the end he was exposed, and on the stage of the Grammy Awards ceremony that was broadcast live across the United States.

Ah!
Connor let out a wail, his shoulders drooped, and he felt like he had lost all desire to live.

Even though he was three steps away from the topic, Connor's voice still came through the microphone so that the audience in the front row could hear it clearly.

Hahahahahahaha.

Can't control it anymore.

On the side stage, Higgins was frantically wiping the tears from his cheeks.

He didn't realize how embarrassed he was, but he couldn't control his emotions at all.

Tonight, he witnessed the band's full devotion to rehearsal, he felt the band put aside the burden of the award ceremony and put all their attention on the performance, he watched the band really let go of their burdens and enjoy every minute of the night -

This is unique.

You know, this is the Grammy Awards, and everyone who comes here is inevitably excited and thrilled; even if you keep a normal mind before attending the awards ceremony, when you are really in the atmosphere of the Staples Center, you can't avoid being caught up in the tension and anxiety.

But August 31st didn't. In their own way, they turned tonight's Grammy Awards into a stage for their youth to bloom and their eternal summer.

Those laughters, that splendor, that unbridledness will forever be frozen at the end of summer on August 31st and will never disappear.
