Chapter 1049

On the hollowed out and carved coffee table, there are all kinds of colored pencils in disorder; Most of the coffee cup at hand has been drunk, and the residual coffee exudes curly fragrance, which is dense in the hot sunshine of New York in the midsummer; On the table, there are also pencil sharpeners, mobile phones and semi-finished paintings, which outline the artists' slovenness and carelessness.

The woman sitting at the table looks like she is about twenty-five or six years old. She is wearing a colorful bohemian dress. The dazzling red, green, blue and purple collide with each other. It looks like a flower blooming wantonly in summer.

A long black hair randomly tied into a loose fishbone braid, hairy hair gently swaying in the breeze; Facial features look ordinary. It seems that they are just an ordinary person in this bustling metropolis. However, their smart and stubborn eyes show their unique charm in the eye waves.

Cecilia Wilton put down her pencil, put the finished painting on the coffee table, picked up the coffee and drank the coffee in the cup, Take a long, comfortable breath.

She looked up and let the afternoon sun fall on her face. The burning light was slightly stinging, but after a long winter and changeable spring, she cherished such a time. Cecilia likes the summer in New York, even the restlessness and noise in the air are full of vitality.

After sitting quietly for a while, Cecilia sat up straight again, picked up the mobile phone on the desk, and opened her social network account just like countless young people today. Cecilia, however, was slightly different. She is a net star.

Although Cecilia won't use the term to address herself, the fact is that social networking platforms are now her source of income.

Cecilia is an illustrator, good at drawing watercolor and sketch, especially good at capturing the instant look of the characters. At the beginning of Facebook, as a high school student, Cecilia often uploaded her works to her account and gained a lot of affirmation; Later, she began to draw her favorite artists, actors, singers, directors, photographers and so on. Gradually, she began to spread her name.

At the beginning, fans of those artists visited Celia's personal page one after another, and then gradually some fans took the initiative to apply, hoping to invite Celia to draw her own idol through payment. She agreed, but it was just a little fight to earn pocket money.

Cecilia realized for the first time that this hobby could become a job. It was a big fan of "Twilight city". In 2009, in order to welcome the release of "new moon", a huge fan group invited Cecilia to draw a series of paintings of three protagonists by means of fund-raising, with a total of 12 paintings, each of which costs $500.

More importantly, this series of paintings caused a sensation on the Internet. The number of views on Facebook alone exceeded 3 million, which really made Cecilia famous. After that, Cecilia's account began to spread, "Brando mania.".

Cecilia Wilton is the Brando mania.

Now, Cecilia has formed a stable fan group, especially the rise of photo wall, which has become a platform for her to show her skills; At the same time, her correct three outlooks and wise life philosophy also won a lot of resonance. In less than a year, she had five million fans and became one of the most authoritative illustrators on the photo wall.

Cecilia's focus of work has gradually shifted. Now she devotes herself to publishing a book, drawing New York Life fragments, which is similar to four frame cartoon, telling a small story, conveying life philosophy or telling life wisdom; In addition, there are regular offers from magazines and online media, and there are endless job opportunities, not to mention the invitation from advertising sponsors.

As a result, Cecilia has rarely painted artists. Not long ago, Marvel fans invited Cecilia to paint a painting of Thor and Rocky's brothers, but she refused; Instead of making money, Cecilia can now do whatever she likes.

In the past year, Langley hall has become a leading model for Cecilia. Almost every month on average, she will draw a picture of Langley. This also makes Cecilia's photo wall account a gathering place for countless don Quixotes.

Cecilia likes lanli not only because lanli's works are always wonderful, but also because lanli's performance is always shocking, not only because lanli's music is always touching, but also because lanli's personality.

Objectively speaking, lenley is not a handsome guy, at least not a handsome guy who meets the traditional aesthetic standards like Chris Hemsworth, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Many times, lenley's hard photos are mediocre and can't arouse the audience's love; But in Cecilia's view, the plane photos can't capture the charm of Lan Li at all, and the breathtaking, elegant and introverted temperament of those eyes is even more fascinating.

Therefore, Cecilia always likes to depict lanli, trying to capture the charm between eyebrows with her own brush. It's not an easy thing, but Cecilia enjoys it. A year has passed and her enthusiasm is still on the rise.

Recently, Cecilia's biggest expectation is that "les miserables" will land on Broadway. She can't wait to see the blue rite standing on the stage. She is ready for the shock baptism.

Conventionally, Cecilia opens her social network account, checks her inboxes, confirms her job offers, and leaves fan messages.

With huge fans, Cecilia has been sought after. After her self-confidence has expanded to the extreme, she has become arrogant and proud, and even worried about gain and loss. Every day, she spends a lot of time indulging in the fans' comments. It seems that without "praise", her life becomes gloomy, and the world begins to fall apart.

But along with Langley all the way, Cecilia gradually returned to a down-to-earth state. On the Internet, everyone says that "Brando Mania" is the most loyal supporter of lenley; But only Cecilia herself knew that if it wasn't for lanli, the account "Brando Mania" would be like countless Internet celebrities on the social network, like meteors, gliding across the sky and disappearing in a flash.

As a matter of fact, Cecilia turned on Twitter and began to read the latest news in the past few hours, looking for more creative inspiration. So, Cecilia began to browse the accounts automatically pushed by the system to see if she could find more new lands.

Inadvertently, Cecilia's fingertips stopped and her eyes fell on a twitter video.

At the beginning of this year, twitter officially launched the video upload function, but just like the 140 word limit of twitter, the video can only be uploaded for 30 seconds, which is too short for the audience who are used to tubing. Therefore, on twitter, the text is still the mainstream, and the video frequency is still not too much.

The automatic push of the system is arranged according to users' browsing habits, attention habits and personal preferences, which makes Cecilia wonder what videos the system will push?

The first reaction was a glance at the user name, "Sisyphus.". Cecilia frowned slightly.

Sisyphus, a God in ancient Greek mythology, pushes the stone endlessly and tries to push the stone to the top of the mountain. He can't succeed, but he never gives up and keeps repeating this meaningless action. This is a relatively unpopular God. Why do people choose this name as their user name? Is it just a prank?

Cecilia didn't have any interest in pranks, which made her hesitate for a moment, but before her brain responded, her fingers had already turned on the video.

The next moment, Cecilia was stunned. The one who appeared in the video was lanli hall! How could it be Langley hall?

Standing in front of the camera, blue Li, a white shirt with light blue jeans, casual shirt sleeves rolled up high, wearing a pair of white canvas shoes, stands in an open back garden, surrounded by a mint blue swimming pool and a big red bucket, which looks out of place with the whole picture.

Is still familiar with the face, is still familiar with the smile, is still familiar with the temperament. But Cecilia still strongly doubted her eyes: am I wrong? This is not lanli, but a comedian is imitating lanli, but the problem is that lanli's temperament can not be imitated by anyone.

In the video, Lan Li is a little stiff. A gentleman nods and greets the camera.

"Hi, everyone. I'm Langley hall. Today I'm here to launch an activity, ice bucket challenge. The original intention is to arouse the public's attention to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). We hope that in this way, more people will pay attention to ALS and actively participate in relevant charity activities. "

The starting point of this activity is not to raise funds, but to arouse public attention. From the beginning, Langley confirmed that.

But Cecilia didn't think her head could react at all, and she didn't have time to digest all the information. The 30 second video was coming to an end. Lan Li lifted the red bucket next to her and buckled her head without hesitation. Then... WOW! Instant wet body.

So, what's going on here?
