The show is over.
There were still not many guests in the bar. There were only nine tables. The front of the stage was empty and didn't seem to be lively, let alone cheering. Neil and Janice whistled and yelled, while the other guests were much more restrained.
However, lanli felt very relaxed. There was no special pressure. On the contrary, he enjoyed the atmosphere. The song "Los Angeles" just now is indeed a minor he wrote casually. There is no special arrangement. The guitar chords are also very simple. The lyrics are just random thoughts of recent time. It's a prose style essay. Naturally, it's easy to sing.
When he stepped off the stage, lanli saw ed face to face. He carried his guitar behind him and clapped his hands like a seal. His eyes were bright and full of excitement and expectation. Seeing lanli coming down, ed became more and more excited, the rhythm of clapping became more and more intensive, and the smile on his face was blooming, as if he were a loyal and enthusiastic fan.
This appearance made Lan Li dumbfounded and put his guitar aside. "People who don't know think you are flesh and blood."
The ridicule made him shy and formal, which made lanli's smile more brilliant. He patted ed ed ed on the shoulder and said, "let's go to the bar and have a drink."
Langley and ED walk towards the bar and tap on the table. Langley says with a smile, "Neil, two beers."
"It's a wonderful performance tonight. There's going to be a lot of excitement on the pipeline." Neil opened the beer barrel and began to pour the beer, but his mouth was proud to show off. Obviously, he filmed the performance just now, which made Langley shake his head helplessly and jokingly said, "I hope the click rate can break through the new record." It made Neil and ED laugh.
"Lan Li, Lan Li." Stanley hurried up from behind and patted Langley on the shoulder. "Come here, an old friend wants to see you."
Lenley looked at Neil's still unfilled beer and said to ED, "give me five minutes." And then he and Stanley started, "who's that old acquaintance?" Lanli didn't spend a long time in Pioneer Village, but he also got to know some old pub customers. It's normal to meet and say hello every time he comes back.
"We'll know when we meet." Stanley sold a pass, but it is the Langley's curiosity hook up.
"Hey, George, how's the performance tonight? Is everything all right? " Stanley said hello skillfully, and Langley looked at the old man in front of him a little. It was a completely strange face.
The white beard is neatly trimmed, the silver hair is neatly combed, the sideburns suit extends down the cheek, the dark gray striped suit and the light gray shirt are meticulously dressed, which is dignified; The solemnity between the eyebrows has the authority and nobility of professionals, and the deterrent power is self-evident.
In Langley's impression, this is absolutely "George, this is Langley; Langley, this is George Stanley had no choice but to smile. "Can't you two introduce yourself calmly? Even when strangers meet, self introduction is a basic courtesy, isn't it? " Stanley looked at Langley and then at George. They didn't intend to give in. Finally, Stanley said again, "George, Langley is an actor. He played in the 'Pacific War'..."
Stanley has a good understanding of Langley, and he also knows that Langley has no demand for music, just leisure activities. So if he tells Langley that George is a famous record producer, he has participated in many ballads, such as Bob Dylan, John cash, Susan Vega, Joan Baez, etc Although he has been in a semi reclusive state and began to enjoy his retirement life in the past three years, his status in the industry is still highly respected, and all the five major record companies have close contacts with each other... This will not only not stir up blue Lee, but may let him see through his plan.
Stanley had no choice but to try to pry the stubborn man in front of him.
Sure enough, without waiting for Stanley's words to go on, George frowned and interrupted angrily, "actor? You must be joking with me, you are a singer, a talented singer, you are trying to be a flower vase actor? I can assure you that your acting must be terrible. "
Lan Li couldn't hold back for a moment, and chuckled, "if this is the way you praise, then I can affirm that you don't have many friends left."
A counterattack made George's chest stuffy - because Langley was right. His fiery temper is famous in the industry. There are not many friends, but enemies all over the world. Of course, the music and film industry is a real industry, which can boost sales and use contacts. That is enough authority. No matter how bad the temper is, there is still no problem in cooperation.
"If it's just a flattering friend, don't worry about it." How could George show weakness easily and block back directly again.
Blue Li accepted to accept mandible, "we have a consensus finally." Then the conversation changed, "but I guess that's the only consensus."
As the conversation broke down again, Stanley finally cut in, "George, can you get to the point?"
After hearing this, George also reflected that he could feel the character of Langley in the short fight just now. If he continued to fight hard, he would miss the amazing talent in front of him. "I'm George strand. I'm willing to make an album for you! I believe that you already have the potential to make a classic album. What you need now is just a little adjustment and correction! I can't wait! "
After three years of retirement, George couldn't find the motivation to go back to work at all, but now, he's already rubbing his hands. He wants to go to the studio tonight.
"Oh, thank you for your appreciation." Langley said meaningfully, then turned his head and glanced at Stanley. At this moment, he finally understood Stanley's plan. Today, he invited him to perform and delayed the performance. It turned out that it was for this reason that Stanley showed an innocent expression and looked back righteously. Langley didn't care with Stanley, so he focused on George again, "But I'm not interested."
George's voice got stuck in his throat. "What?" He thought he had heard the wrong thing.
Langley shrugged. "I'm not interested."
In fact, lanli has always been open-minded to new challenges. He has experienced the recording of the city of sound and the dream of heather. Entering the studio to complete the recording of an album doesn't seem so far away. It's also a challenge, just like he wants to challenge skydiving.
However, not in George's way, the condescending attitude of giving orders, the arrogant attitude, this is obviously not the best beginning of a period of cooperation.
George's brows locked together. "Do you know who I am? I once made an album for Bob Dylan. I think you may become the second Bob. Although it's still far away now, after time's polishing, maybe you'll be the second one
Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth and gently closed his jaw. "I can see that you are a senior professional. That's a good thing. "
The indifference seemed to say, "Hello, it's nothing to do with me", which made George choke again. George turned his head and looked at Stanley with a question mark on his face: what's the matter with this little guy? Didn't you ask me to come here for identification? Why is he so arrogant?
Stanley is happy and has a headache. Happily, George actually has a crush on lenley, which also means that his eyes are right; The headache is that there is no room for compromise in the first confrontation between George and Langley. What should we do next?
