Chapter 9

Lanli's hands were covered with water drops, and his clothes were a little messy because of the busy dinner peak. The whole person was in a bit of a mess. Neil's dragging speed was so urgent and powerful that his steps were a bit staggering. "Slow down, slow down, Neil! What's going on? At least you can update the details to me first! "

However, Neil's steps still did not stop. He strode to the side of the stage and shoved the guitar leaning against the wall into his arms

Blue Li stares round eyes, "again?" Although the expression showed surprise, but the hands of the action did not stop, and then put the guitar back to the shoulder.

Neil helplessly spread out his hands, "there's a big traffic jam. Jason is still on 23rd Street, stuck in the traffic. " This is the seventh street. It's a long distance. I can't make it in a short time. "Now it's up to you to save the field. Stanley said, "the pay is the same."

New York, the city, always reminds everyone who lives here by surprise. It is the world's first city, and also the world's busiest city - bad traffic jams are always so worrying. Tonight, Jason is another "experiencer.".

This is not the first time.

Because Pioneer Village always insists on live performance, and insists that every day's performance guests must be carefully selected, rather than a fixed team throughout the year, it means that all kinds of accidents are inevitable. Therefore, the scene is always in need of on-the-spot firefighters from time to time. Before that, comedians are the first choice, because they can go on stage for stand up performance, enliven the atmosphere, and interact closely with the audience. It's really best to procrastinate.

However, in an accident last month, no comedian was found to save the scene. Fortunately, lanli volunteered to perform on the stage, avoiding the crisis of empty windows that night.

For the nobles like the hall family, even the declining nobles, they have to learn an art skill from childhood, such as painting, piano, violin, poetry, wine tasting, etc. the key point is not to be good at it, but to cultivate sentiment and temperament. Especially in the formal social occasions of the upper class, your vision, speech, manner and manner determine your position and image in the circle at the first impression. This is also the basic reason why those upstarts and later Jin aristocrats can't really integrate into the upper class circle - inheritance and heritage.

Langley studied piano, and later tried more different musical instruments in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, mainly to understand the change and progress of popular culture, which plays an important role in understanding culture, history and performance; In addition, it is also to make up for the regret of the last life. Trying different new things can always broaden our horizons. Guitar is one of them.

Originally just a cameo rescue, did not expect to receive a lot of praise. In the past, lanli has been on the stage for five times.

Neil pushed blue to the front of the stage, and then raised his hands to show his innocence, showing a relieved smile, "next it's up to you!"

Looking at Neil, who is ready to be a shake off shopkeeper, lanli grabs him, "how long? How much time do I have to delay? "

"Fifteen minutes." Neil said, "when Jason arrives, we'll give you a signal off the stage." Finish saying, then never stop again, run back to the bar, throw hot potato directly to Lan Li.

Seeing Neil run away, lanli didn't feel too flustered. He looked up at the clock and began to estimate in his heart. After deducting the time of conversation and the rest time of exchange, it was almost a blank space of ten minutes. He only needed to perform three songs. The task is not too heavy.

At this time, standing on the stage, Stanley Charlson can see the ready blue Li. He has no way to continue to talk nonsense. As the owner of the bar, he just goes on stage. Two minutes of nonsense is his limit. So, without waiting for Langley to breathe, he raised his right hand straight up, "gentlemen, ladies, Langley hall!"

"Ho Ho, Lan Li! Blue The sound of slapping the table came from the direction of the bar. You can't help but turn your head to know that it must be Neil. With the slapping sound, many audience members began to roar, whistling and laughing.

Steven wiped the last bit of soup from his plate with bread and put it in his mouth - the food was delicious tonight. Hearing Stanley's introduction on the stereo, he almost choked. His first reaction was to look at Tom and ask, "what's the matter?" But Tom also spread out his hands, a blank expression, did not understand what was going on.

Turning to the stage, Lan Li with his guitar on his back appeared in front of the crowd with a smile. The noise of the scene became more and more loud. Steven couldn't help but look around and found that the guests were chanting words. It was obvious that they were very familiar with Lan Li, and the banter and fight between friends were clear at a glance.

Langley took the microphone from Stanley and said with a smile, "good evening. I'm Jason mayez." The calm of telling lies made everyone in the bar laugh“ I'm sorry, Jason's been left 15 blocks away by the bad management of Michael Bloomberg for the time being. " Michael, the current mayor of New York.

This joke won everyone's favor, the sound of knocking on the table broke out again, at the same time, it was also mixed with excited whistles.

"Before Jason arrives at the scene, you have to put up with me as a fake." In two simple words, lanli successfully enlivened the atmosphere of the scene again. Not only did he not complain about Jason's being late, but on the contrary, he became more and more boisterous.

Lanli pulled a wooden chair and then took a seat. After fixing the microphone, the stage light went dark. Except for the stage, the lights of the whole bar were dimmed one after another, leaving only a cream light beam falling down and covering Lan Li. The dust in the air was flying up and down, and fell lightly on the shoulders. The halo penetrated through the messy and uninhibited golden brown curls, and fell thinly on the face. The thick eyelashes cast a shadow to cover the look of the eyes, The unspeakable silence slowly spread.

Time seems to stop suddenly.

"Before Jason shows up," lanli's voice comes from the stereo, spreading out like blue velvet in the milk yellow world. The beautiful moment of the night is in full bloom. "I decided to sing his masterpiece first. After he appears, maybe you can feel the huge gap." The self mocking banter made everyone smile, even Steven.

The long and straight fingers, with distinct joints and vigorous force, gently stroke down, and the Ding Dong sound of the string is dancing in the spotlight. A song of "I'm yours" easily immerses everyone in the bar, and the rhythm of the follower gently swings. In this moment of leisure, with music, wine and friends, the fragments of life began to become clear.

Steven keeps his eyes fixed on the blue Li in the beam of light. It's different from the free and unrestrained manner in the audition on the stage in the afternoon. At this moment, the blue Li is elegant and clear. I don't know if it's because the contrast between the spotlight and the surrounding darkness is too strong. There is only one solitary figure on the huge stage. The blue Li is like a bard He is straightforward, casual and unrestrained, which makes people envious.

It seems that there is no skill in singing, but it is easy to firmly grasp the ear, even the heart is intoxicated in the lazy and hoarse voice, if there is no coffee aroma under the nose, mixed in the sunshine.

When a song was finished, Steven realized his relaxed smile at the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Tom. Fortunately, Tom raised his hands and applauded for Lan Li. He didn't find anything unusual about him. It's not just Tom, it's the same with the rest of the audience. No one will notice the difference of others. Everyone just enjoys the show.

Even if Steven doesn't want to, he has to admit that, apart from the professional point of view, lanli's performance really makes people feel very comfortable and has an indescribable appeal. Generally speaking, only those hard core singers who have gone through vicissitudes and storms have this power. But lanli is only 20 years old this year, which is really incredible.

This reminds Steven of the audition in the afternoon. In fact, the same is true of actors. Young actors often rely on talent and instinct to perform because they lack experience and experience; Mature actors gradually lose their spirituality and rely more on skills and experience to control the performance. But Lan Li's body, but there is a mixture of vicissitudes and spirituality of temperament, let a person in front of a bright. That's why Tom came forward.

"Langley, perform 'Charlie boy'," David Bowie's' heroes' ". Under the stage, many audiences began to ask for songs, and the scene was very lively.

Steven's thoughts were interrupted, but he began to ponder more and more. Although this is only his first visit to the Pioneer Village, it is certain that if he is not brilliant, the audience will not be so enthusiastic just because they are familiar with each other.

Tom couldn't help it. He looked back and said, "it seems that this little guy is very popular!"

Steven is still adamant, "as an amateur singer?" Actors always have a sense of condescension about singers. Steven's words are obviously contemptuous. Tom rolled his eyes.

On the stage, lanli's eyes fell on table 14. The smile on the corner of his mouth added a touch of banter, which made Tom and Steven look at each other. "I just had an unsuccessful audition this afternoon, but this audition gave me some inspiration. I'd like to share it with you here."
