Luna Marla sat cross legged on the ground, watching the blue Li beating the drum, without any judgment, just quietly watching the whole practice process.
This year, Rooney also decided to have a good rest. In the whole year of last year, she shot five consecutive works all year round. The connection between one work and another is also very close. I feel that the whole person has been overdrawn, and even she seems to be in low spirits. She needs to rest, both in energy and physical strength.
Recently, Rooney stayed in New York. She didn't travel far or go out. She just enjoyed the ordinary daily life of the city.
Once in a while, Rooney and lenley exchange mail. It's not a text message, it's not a phone call, it's not a handwritten letter, it's an e-mail, it's not fashionable, it's not retro, it's a formal communication in office; However, in Rooney's view, with the speed of lanli's reply, if this was an office, then things would have been yellow.
Last week, lenley sent an email saying that he was going to Lincoln Center to watch a jazz concert, accompanied by Damien chazere, Justin hewitz, j-k-simmons, Melissa Benoist and so on. Everyone would bring a companion with him. Lenley asked Rooney if she would like to attend.
Rooney nodded and agreed, but she still expressed her surprise. She did not expect such an invitation. She asked about the jazz concert; Then it was learned that lanli was preparing for the shooting of "pop drummer".
In order to let the actors have a clearer and clearer understanding of the style and context of jazz, lenley took the initiative to pay out of his own pocket and invited the creators to Lincoln Center to experience jazz on the spot——
Damien was ecstatic. In fact, he always wanted to enjoy a jazz concert in person, but he was so shy that he couldn't make it, let alone pay for the crew. For this reason, Damien wrote an e-mail to express his sincere thanks to lenley.
As for Rooney, after learning about the "pop drummer", she can't help but wonder: what is the work that can make Langley burst out his desire to perform again? After a long vacation, what's Langley's status now?
To be exact, Rooney's email has not been answered, so her questions have not been answered until today.
The jazz concert officially started at 9 p.m. and they decided to meet in advance, have an aperitif in the bar, fill their stomach with a little snack, and then go to Lincoln Center to meet the others.
It's also the right way to watch a concert. Because the concert time and dinner time often overlap, they can not eat enough to go, and can not go hungry, so it is most appropriate to eat some snacks and desserts in advance; Formal dinner will be held after the concert.
Unexpectedly, Langley was still practicing drums in Greenwich Village that afternoon. In this regard, Rooney was not surprised. She came to the rehearsal room ahead of time to satisfy her curiosity and have a good look at the preparation process of lanli's work.
So, this scene appeared.
Rooney was wearing a long black evening dress, but she was not a lady sitting on the ground; There is a pair of black high-heeled shoes on the side, watching the practice of blue Li barefoot, just like a punk girl, the uninhibited and stubborn temperament is revealed, but her face is not without a childish smile.
Especially when Langley said to himself, "right? Do you feel it, too? "
This make complaints about laughter. "Do you want me to comfort you or do you want me to follow you?" There is no hidden ridicule, but to say the idea, but revealed a rare Sassou yingzi.
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders gently, with a calm face.
LUNI picked the eyebrow tail, and it was obvious that lanli didn't care at all. "Are you serious? A month ago, you didn't know anything about drums? And then in just one month, you've reached that level? It's amazing! Wait, you're just saying it on purpose, aren't you? And let the little girl start screaming? "
Blue Li is still smiling, cast a meaningful look, "I did not hear the scream."
Lu Ni's expression slightly, then showed a shallow smile, white teeth bite the lower lip, "I'm not a casual ordinary girl."
"So why are we talking about this? Besides you, there are no other girls at the scene. " Lan Li then said a word again, a touch of ambiguity and ridicule revealed that the temperature in the rehearsal room seems to be quietly rising, and the emotional exchange between the eye waves has their tacit understanding.
In the end, Rooney was defeated. She dropped her eyes, interrupted the meeting of her eyes, and changed the topic. "I'm serious. Although I don't know much about the skills of the drum, I know that your level is already excellent. If you continue to improve, you can't finish it in a short time. What height are you trying to reach
"Buddy Ricky." Without any hesitation, Lan Li revealed his name directly.
Rooney didn't hide her surprise and doubt at all. She looked at lanli with an incredible face. "Are you crazy?"
Anyone who knows Jazz well knows what a legendary drummer buddy rich is. Even in the long history, he is a drummer of such a level. Of course, everyone wants to be buddy rich, but it's only half a century since there was one.
In the face of Rooney's reaction, lanli not only didn't get angry or retort, but also nodded in affirmation, "ha ha, do you think so? So do I
Langley stood up, left the drum, went to the backpack in the corner of the rehearsal room, found a CD, and then put it in the player beside him, "listen, this is buddy Ricky's drum beat. I mean, speed, his speed is really amazing, but that's not all... "
Lanli came to Rooney, sat cross legged on the ground, did not continue to talk, but quietly began to listen to the melody flowing out of the player.
Pure drum, no piano, no saxophone, no trumpet, no horn, no superfluous instruments, but the rhythm of the drum does not seem monotonous at all, on the contrary, it is extremely abundant to support every musical symbol. This is definitely a kind of enjoyment, simple and ultimate enjoyment.
In the middle of the conversation, the voice suddenly disappeared, and both of them began to listen to the music.
Like lanli, Rooney was born in the upper class. She received elite education from childhood. Under her influence, she has formed a rich foundation of appreciation ability for works of art. Even if she knows nothing about drums, she can tell a general outline and context; What's more, she knows a lot about jazz.
Badi Ricky's drum is absolutely classic and intoxicating.
Inadvertently, LUNI's eyes caught lanli's side face.
At this time, lanli has not changed his formal evening dress - he must wear evening dress to attend the jazz concert at Lincoln Center, otherwise the security personnel at the door have the right to refuse the audience to enter——
In order to practice, lanli wears a light white T-shirt and jeans, simple and simple; His forehead was covered with sweat, revealing a sense of embarrassment. However, the face shining on the focus and devotion of the look, instantly let people ignore all the details, blooming a unique charm.
The scene is so ridiculous and funny
Last second, they were still discussing the skills of the drum; The next second, they sat cross legged on the floor listening to buddy Ricky's CD.
What's more, they will go to Lincoln Center to enjoy a jazz concert soon. Langley hasn't changed her dress yet. Then she sits in a shabby rehearsal room in her evening dress, just like Cinderella after midnight.
It's really interesting, isn't it?
At the same time, it's really fascinating, isn't it?
Involuntarily, the corners of Rooney's mouth rose, outlined a smile, drew back her attention, and began to appreciate the drum melody again.
After six minutes of playing, the two did not worry or talk, so they listened quietly. After a song was played, Lan Li stood up, went to one side and pressed the pause button; Then they began to discuss the skills and emotions of the drumming just now, especially the control and rhythm under the high-frequency hand speed, which is really intoxicating.
"If you just convey emotions, I don't think you have any problems; But the problem is that the skills are really too difficult, which requires years of gradual accumulation and breakthrough. And, objectively, you lack talent. " Rooney, tell me the truth.
Without concealment, politeness or embellishment, Rooney frankly pointed out the most important fact: lanli's talent is not above the drum, and her current level and ability are basically the limit of lanli.
Lenley nodded in affirmation. "I didn't. But Andrew did
Rooney opened her mouth slightly. After a pause, she couldn't help laughing. "I can't refute it."
"So we always try to realize the dreams we can't achieve in the movies," he said After that, Langley stopped for a moment and pondered for a moment. "In this way, I suddenly feel that the actor is more like a loser, always living in the illusory dream bubble, refusing to wake up."
Rooney chewed carefully, too.
After a moment of silence, a quiet atmosphere was flowing slowly. At last, lanli made a sound to polish the peace. "If I remember correctly, we should start now. Before I go to Lincoln Center, I need a little more strength. "
"Ha, you finally remember." Rooney came back, blinked and joked.
