Chapter 1340

Johnson is a bit of a gaffe. Chin slightly down, not exaggerating, but can not close, face of consternation, shock, accident and confusion in slowly stay, lingering, also can not convergence.

In the sight, Lan Li was sitting alone in the practice room. In front of him was a dumb drum, which he put against with his body. The metronome beside him was clattering. He held the drumstick in both hands and was concentrating on practicing; What's more, it's not difficult practice, it's the most basic practice.

No hurry, no hurry, calm and powerful.

It can be clearly felt that lanli is adjusting his drumming strength and movements. Through the subtle adjustment of his wrist, fingertips and body, he can maintain a more uniform and more stable continuous power output in the process of hitting, so as to ensure that the timbre of each hit is fuller and the timbre is thicker.

This is a very difficult and boring practice process.

At the same time of practice, we must maintain a high degree of attention, while capturing the sound of the metronome, while capturing the sound of their own drumming. While ensuring the correct rhythm, we must also identify the drum differences caused by their own strength and control changes, and then make detailed adjustments bit by bit.

Because of this, we can only practice with the most basic skills. Once the speed increases, the loss of details will become fast and mixed up, it is difficult to make accurate judgments, let alone local details adjustment. Of course, after the basic skills are completely solid, you can gradually improve to 100 or 120 to further deepen your control; And then, the difficulty increases bit by bit.

Not to mention amateurs, even the real professional drummer, now can calm down to slowly polish the technology is also very few. Johnson himself has experienced such a stage, and he knows more clearly than anyone that the dullness and dullness, pain and suffering can easily make people collapse.

What's more, the whole society is becoming more and more agitated in the whole era. It's really not easy to polish the basic skills down-to-earth.

But now, Langley hall?

Johnson's first reaction was, is there a camera nearby recording? It may be a reality show or a documentary. Langley is showing his learning process and becoming a part of image building again. Everything is about publicity and commercial interests,

Up and down, back and forth, Johnson searched the whole circle, but he didn't find any clues.

"What's wrong with your neck? Why twist your head like a psycho? Or did you start drinking alcohol before nightfall? "

There was a funny sound in the corridor. Johnson looked back in a panic, turned his head and noticed the people coming. Then he was a little relieved. "Laura, do you know this? Someone rented this practice room? Or did he just see that there was no one in the practice room and break in by himself? Wait, what's going on? "

Johnson was incoherent, and his inquiry did not have a central content. He just threw out all the questions, but did not know what he was asking.

Lara frost is a student of the Conservatory of music of New York University. She is also a cadre of the student union. She knows all about the external leasing of the practice room in this teaching building. Sometimes she is responsible for the schedule and schedule. Now, as the object of inquiry, it's really very suitable.

"Who?" Laura took a half step forward and looked out. "Oh, lenley? Eh, don't you know? If I remember correctly, isn't he in your class now? I thought it was your orders and demands. "

Laura showed a look of surprise, but kindly explained, "now, in addition to the regular course of each day, he also reserved four hours of practice room time, two hours in the morning and two hours after the end of the afternoon course."

what? Johnson was completely shocked. No matter what he thought in his mind, he couldn't find a suitable and accurate answer. He blurted out subconsciously, "why?"

Yes, why?

"Ha, I asked lanli the day before yesterday." Laura laughed happily. "He said half jokingly that he was going to take the Juilliard college entrance examination, but he found that he didn't have enough talent, so he decided to take a temporary sprint, hoping to make a big splash on the entrance examination. He's really a humorous guy, isn't he? "

Then, Laura noticed Johnson's surprised expression, and she immediately read it out, "don't you think so? Or the same sex? Every time I talked with him, he was very kind and close. I asked him some opinions about the stage performance, and he gave interesting feedback. Unfortunately, he needs to focus on practice, our conversation time is too short, otherwise we should be able to gain more. "

Johnson felt that his brain capacity was not enough. There were so many unexpected parts that he didn't know where to start his surprise and where to start asking.

"... four hours a day?" After a long time, Johnson blurted out his first idea.

Laura nodded in affirmation. "Four hours a day."

Johnson suddenly felt a sense of shame and anger.

Every day, lanli is working overtime to train, but never said it; Then every class, he is constantly emphasizing the basic skills, and educating lanli high above everything else; Finally, lanli's speed change drumming practice is so excellent, even perfect. He thinks it's his own credit, but it's not.

Seven consecutive days of dumb drum practice, but also eight hours a day of dumb drum practice. This professional and investment is absolutely appalling. For any beginner.

"He did it on purpose." In this way, Johnson's idea broke through the shackles of reason and burst out, "practice in secret every day, and then perform well in class, consciously humiliate me, make me look like a clown, and keep talking there, while he was watching my jokes. He did it on purpose

"This is a show, a show! God! Even in life there is no trace of reality, from the inside to the outside are a performer. He's looking forward to this, right? I'm looking forward to people's exclamation, shame and once again showing how tall and brilliant his image is! "

Johnson didn't know what he was talking about. He just poured out all his ideas and talked on.

Laura slightly Leng Leng, Johnson's outbreak without any warning, there is no context.

She didn't know what happened between Johnson and Langley, or what was behind his words. But after a moment's hesitation, she said what she thought, "... Johnson, although it's very impolite to say that, the fact is that you and I are nothing. We have no meaning or importance to Langley, He doesn't have to aim at you or me. He doesn't have to do a show for us. We're not as important as we think

Johnson's eyes widened and he looked at Laura angrily.

Laura raised her hands and made a gesture of surrender, saying that she didn't mean any harm, but she still insisted on her own opinion and said, "what's more, lanli's basic skills training is all voluntary, not for a certain time to be brave, and then spent eight hours here to learn the drum."

"I don't think Langley is such a person, and he doesn't have to. If he wants to target anyone, I think, in his current position, it's a very simple thing Laura shrugged her shoulders and said softly.

But there's another thing that doesn't say: she and he are not important roles. There's no need for lanli to aim at them in a big way. Any achievement or work is enough to make them breathless.

This sentence did not come out after all, because it was too hurtful and too true.

"But... But..." Johnson didn't know what he was insisting on. He just felt a surge of anger and irritability, trying to vent it, but stuck in his throat. The sense of suffocation became clear little by little, and was about to explode.

Laura didn't want to argue any more. She gave Johnson a polite smile. "I have something else to do. I'll talk to you another day." After that, Laura turned to leave and walked to the corner of the corridor. She stopped again and added, "by the way, don't worry about the equipment and lights. Before you leave, lanli will take care of it."

Then, he left.

Johnson stayed in the same place, the surge of emotion in the left and right, unable to find an exit.

Finally, the sight fell on Lan Li through the window; Lan Li is still immersed in the practice. He is completely absorbed in the world of basic skills. The whole practice room forms a small world, isolating everyone else.

It's all about basic skills, and it's only about basic skills.

This makes Johnson feel very small. As Laura said, they have no meaning or weight to Langley; And his haggling just makes him look more humble and stupid. The sense of shame and shame swept from the sole of the foot, and the whole scalp began to numb, so that the limbs were slightly paralyzed.

Sure enough, lanli is a person who can't be liked.

If he could, he would like to wave his fist now, teach blue Li a lesson, smash the perfect face one by one, uncover the true face hidden under the mask, and vent all his negative emotions.

But it's just a fantasy. So he turned and strode away.
