Chapter 10

"This afternoon, I just experienced an unsuccessful audition..." lanli's words caused a lot of sacrifice among the audience in the bar, and even some people yelled, "lanli, you are the best!"

Tom took a quick look at Steven, and then saw his old friend's face down again. He was obviously dissatisfied with lanli's blatant provocation. But Tom is quite interested. A good actor always needs some edges and edges. Instead, he thinks things are more and more interesting.

"But this audition gave me some inspiration, and I'd like to share it with you here." Lanli's eyes just glanced at table 14, then glanced at the dim faces hidden in the dark, and joked, "I know I'm very popular, everyone is recalling my wonderful performances before..." this sentence made everyone laugh, "but today, please allow me to perform this special music, It's just hot. "

Applause, all the audience at the scene applauded one after another, and even some people roared loudly to cheer for lanli. Standing at the bar, Stanley turns to Neil and asks, "do you know about the accident?"

Neil, however, spread out his hands and shrugged, saying that he knew nothing. Stanley waved his hand, just like slapping a fly. Ignoring Neil, he looked at the stage again. Lan Li, who was bathed in the light, showed a light smile. The notes of the guitar strings were dancing in the crystal clear milky light waterfall, just like the wings of an elf.

Steven couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that lanli would mention the audition content, use the audience's support to test them, or use this platform to show his talent again. But he never thought that the melody was happily outlined at lanli's fingertips, and the more and more light music with happiness and pleasure made every audience beat the beat together.

This is the second time Steven misunderstood Langley.

The melody like a turbulent spring lingered in the whole bar. Langley lowered his eyes and focused on the guitar strings. He drew a light smile at the corner of his mouth. He was the only one left in the world. Then his mellow voice went through the music notation, which was so warm that people were intoxicated, "I used to be Cleopatra, I used to be a young actor. When you kneel down in front of my bed and beg for my hand... "

The first line of lyrics left Steven in a daze. Cleopatra, or "Cleopatra," performed Mark Antony, Cleopatra's lifelong lover in the audition this afternoon. So, that's what Langley calls "perception." he's singing a song about Cleopatra.

"I'm so sad because I'm wearing a long black dress, my father is sleeping in the coffin, and I don't have any plans." In the joyful melody, the lyrics are like a sad narrative poem, graceful and sad, with a touch of sadness and regret between the lines. This is the story of Cleopatra, but it is not the well-known Cleopatra, the disaster described by Shakespeare as "the sexy witch of the world".

"Oh..." with a slight sigh, Lan Li's smile seemed to bring a touch of disappointment. "I left muddy footprints on the carpet, and when you left, it became stiff like my heart; But I have to admit, I will immediately agree to your proposal, curse your wife, in order to stay with you, I would like to be your lover

At the beginning, Cleopatra agreed to Caesar's courtship, even though Caesar had a wife at that time. In the eyes of the world, she is a woman who does everything for power and benefit, but no one can see her true feelings. The love like moths to the fire makes her fall into a place of eternal doom and bear the name forever.

She was a woman, a woman who had no status, no freedom, and could only depend on men in the society at that time. But when people judge her, they always forget that. Because it's always easier to blame a woman for the destruction of a country and the mistakes of history.

"But it's too late. It's too late. I missed the love of my life." The string in lanli's hand suddenly stopped and hummed in a clear voice. The simple sentence "too late" was full of heartache and loneliness. "When I die, I won't miss it again."

She missed everything, missed life, the only thing she didn't miss was her own death.

The melody of joyful to joyful sounded again and lingered in my ears, but the lingering sadness spread on the tip of my tongue, which was so bitter that it was hard to swallow. The emotion like a light wind was singing and singing, and the surging emotion immediately occupied my brain, and suddenly my heart was so painful that I couldn't breathe.

"The church suppresses all the desires hidden in my blood. Yes, flesh and blood are my existence, but I firmly believe in the truth." The words like poetry are heartbreaking between the lips and teeth of Lan Li. The real sorrow is not that there is no freedom, but that he refuses to embrace freedom and confines his soul firmly in his flesh and blood like a walking corpse“ So I drive a taxi, the traffic distracts me, and the passengers in the back seat wake up the memory of you. "

With his right hand, lanli suddenly swept the strings faster and faster, and the melody became more and more cheerful. It was like the skirt flying under the flamenco dance steps. The bright and flamboyant red danced out gorgeous petals, which made his heart stop beating. But in the joy, there was an unspeakable sadness, As if the naked eye can see that the flying dust will bring this silence to everyone's shoulder, heavy weight let the smile on the corner of the mouth with a pathetic.

"But it's too late. It's too late. I missed the love of my life. When I die alone, when I die alone, I won't miss it again. "

The glittering and translucent musical charm is like a reflection of the gorgeous dew of the morning sun. The poetic lyrics collide between the lips and teeth to create a turbulent and boiling mood, causing a faint pain in the chest. Without any fancy, lanli just relied on his own voice to sing, but it was magnificent and magnificent, so that the light lost its color.

All of a sudden, Tom's tears broke down. Everything came so suddenly that he was unprepared. In my mind, Mark Antony and Cleopatra are inexplicable. In Shakespeare's other tragedy "Antony and Cleopatra", he always thinks that Antony indulges in Cleopatra's beauty and delays state affairs, which leads to the decline of Rome. However, this is fate. Because of the wrong time and place, the two people who once loved each other led to the wrong fate and delayed their life.

Delay for life. What a tragic and beautiful sentence. There is no origin of regret and sadness, firmly occupy the heart.

"The only gift God gave me was a life and a divorce, but I read the script and the costumes were just right, so I would play my part well." The guitar strings are sketched again, and the gentle melody brings the mind to another level.

It turns out that all this is just God's arrangement, all this is just a play, all this is just a mockery of fate. Absurd, ridiculous, sad, joking, mocking. How sad, how helpless, how desolate, she is like a puppet in general, put on a costume, according to the script, play their own role. But what about herself?

"I used to be Cleopatra, I used to be higher than the roof, but all the past has gone with the wind; Now the nurse in white shoes leads me back to the guest room... "The melody gradually rises. After Lan Li's singing reaches the top, there is a touch of solitude, just like the sunset in the sky," there is only one bed and one bathroom, a place leading to the end. " The teasing of fate, after all, has come to the end. This time, she won't miss it again.

Love, how simple but complex a word; Freedom, how luxurious but how ordinary a word. The woman named Cleopatra once wantonly pursued her inner desire, but she left a lifelong reputation. What's more sad is that she missed it after all. She once thought Caesar was a lifelong love, but he failed her; She once thought that Anthony was her destination, but he hurt her again. On this road of fate, she stumbled, faltered and bruised, but she was teased by fate and left alone.

"I won't miss it again, I won't miss it again, the love of my life. When I die alone, when I die alone, I won't miss it again. "

The melody slowly dissipates in the air. The long tail of lanli is magnetic. It drags out a long tail in the air, just like a firefly falling in the dark. You can clearly see that the light is drawing a track, and then it becomes more and more dim until it is completely lost. The whole night was once again in the endless darkness.

"When I die alone, I won't miss it again."

Tom wiped the warmth in his eyes in embarrassment, but his turbulent mood couldn't be calmed down at all. He recalled the audition of lanli in the afternoon again in his mind, and the solemn and stirring burst out in the moment fermented and precipitated in the melody just now. The complex mood of the chest can not find an accurate word, but the resonance is undoubtedly stirring.

Soon Tom found out that he was not the only one. At this moment, many of the audience sitting in the bar were looking at the stage with tears in their eyes. They didn't care about their embarrassment at all. They just watched Lan Li quietly, and even the light became very gentle.

These are the real listeners, who really listen to the music with their souls. They understand the story in lanli's song, and then immerse themselves in the music. No applause, no scream, no coax, even no sound, everyone is quietly tasting, tasting the light sadness, tasting the sadness hidden under the cheerful melody, tasting the wisdom of the Bard. Really good music has such power.
