Chapter 2095

Howard, the auctioneer, solemnly and formally introduced the debut of lanli. Whether it is the status of hereditary aristocracy, the status of today's entertainment industry, or the unique status given by Alexander in the process of preparing for the charity auction, the thunderous applause of the whole audience is lanli's due treatment.

Andre and Eaton applauded for blue gift one after another, and watched blue gift walk onto the stage with a smile on their face. Even Matthew, who has always been cold but has no action, clapped his hands to add strength to the hot and boiling atmosphere of the whole scene. Then all eyes were on blue gift.

Although all the people on the scene are high-class people, and it's hard to take a different look at the career of an actor, Lan Li is different. The rumors are so rich that even the elites and nobles are inevitably curious. It's like the characters in the rumors come to reality and can't help casting their eyes.

In those eyes, Langley stepped onto the stage from the side stage, and Howard came to the center of the stage, and the applause stopped——

After all, it's not a drama stage or an award ceremony. The applause of the guests is limited after all. They politely expressed their etiquette, and then they stopped; But even so, Howard still showed a look of surprise, "welcome Mr. Langley, this is obviously our climax today."

Lanli took the microphone from the staff and said with a smile, "in advance, I'm not the auction today."

A little cold humor made the corners of the guests' mouths rise, and the atmosphere became lively. Then Andre joined in and cried out, "why don't you auction a dinner date ticket, lanli? I'm willing to participate in the auction." The scene was filled with laughter.

Lanli didn't panic. "I'm too expensive for you to pay." Such a response made the laughter mixed with applause.

Howard did not continue to tease, and conscientiously returned to the topic, "Mr. Lan Li, we have learned in advance that the donation is a special guitar and a piece of personally created music score. Now, would you like to introduce Yuanyuan to us?"

"Of course." "I won't use 'special' to describe this guitar. In fact, it's a very ordinary guitar. It has no long history and no special origin. So you can relax. There's no need to take it so seriously."

It was a little humor again, which made Beatrice very happy.

"Five years ago, I left London for New York to pursue my actor dream. It was the first guitar I bought in New York. I can't remember the exact price, but I'm sure it should be within 50 dollars. Wait, I seem to have done something wrong, otherwise, let's start over? "

On top of the charity auction, in order to do activities for charity, naturally hope to be able to raise more money, then the value of the auction goods is naturally the higher the better, so as to wake up the enthusiasm of the guests on the spot; And for the owners of donated auction items, the better their reputation is——

It's like David's football. In fact, the market price of the ball used in the final of the world cup is 20 euros. However, David has invited the players of the national team to sign their names and told the stories behind the world cup in Brazil this year, adding more luster to the football. He is looking forward to auction a good price, It shows that he chose to donate the item after careful consideration. Otherwise, after the auction, other guests will inevitably have a different view of him: are they not willing to devote themselves to charity?

But now Langley says bluntly: this guitar is not worth 50 dollars, which is really... Not playing according to common sense. Howard standing next to him can't help sweating. No matter how clever an auctioneer is, he can't sell an item with no value and no story.

However, looking at the calm and self-confidence on Lan Li's face, we can know that he is joking and opening the story behind him in a way of self mockery.

The situation is still under the control of lanli.

After the banter, lanli himself chuckled, shrugged, and continued the story. "During the period when I just arrived in New York, I got a job in a bar called 'Pioneer Village', and occasionally played a guest role in singing. This guitar is my little friend."

"My first album, Don Quixote, was composed on top of this guitar, at least in the master band. So, from this point of view, its pitch is accurate, and I can guarantee that. " "I'm not sure you know that my first work, the Pacific War, was actually determined in the Pioneer Village," he said

Then, in a few words, Langley tells the story of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks enjoying the performance in Pioneer Village. At this time, the guests realized for the first time that the inspiration of Cleopatra came from the audition of Pacific War——

Just a very, very few guests. For most of the guests, it's just an interesting story, because they may not have heard the album Don Quixote at all, let alone understand the meaning of Cleopatra; But for that small group of guests, this anecdote is really hot. Before that, lanli never talked about this gag in any public occasions, and it is still a secret that nobody knows.

"So, this is the guitar that was created and performed at that time." Lan Li concluded that the eyes of a small number of guests on the scene were obviously bright.

Most of the time, the value of a private collection is limited. It's more about the memories, stories and the special status of the owner. A letter, a postcard, a signature, a vinyl record, a handmade... And so on, all have different meanings. Among collectors, it may be of great significance; But in the hands of others who don't know why, it may be just a piece of extra rubbish.

Langley stopped for a moment. "But the score I prepared today is not Cleopatra, but beast."

This is another accident.

"The inspiration for the creation of the song" beast "comes from another story, but it is not the focus of today. The occasion when I finished the whole song" beast "for the first time is that I have to mention a very important name: Heather cross." Lan Li's words caused a low surge at the scene.

Compared with Don Quixote, Heather Cross's name is more influential all over the world because of the ice bucket challenge and the foundation. Even ordinary people who have no interest in movies and music have heard of the relevant allusions more or less.

The most important thing is that Lansley used the oratorio "beast" as his acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards ceremony, which is still a classic that can not be surpassed.

Now, Langley is telling the story behind the "beast". When he was a volunteer in Mount Sinai Hospital, he witnessed the back of heather flying a kite, and he wrote a song with a guitar... "When I was writing, I didn't expect that this song would become a symbol of heather, let alone a symbol, At the same time, it also became the last regret for Heather to stay in the world. That evening, I finished with this guitar. "

"Before I came to the auction, I thought about whether I should choose some other items. After all, the market value of this guitar is not good enough." Lanli made fun of himself again, which made the corners of the guests' mouths rise slightly. "But in the end, I chose it because it belongs to me and also to heather."

"As a matter of fact, I'm not a person with the world in mind. I always focus on my dreams and try to make my life colorful. As for other people, I don't have much room for them or time to think about them. To go to mount Sinai Hospital to help Heather, in fact, it's just a little bit of help, nothing special. But Heather taught me that happiness and dreams can be shared. "

"Not because we can be great, not because we can help them, not because we can share our happiness and joy with others; It's because each of us is facing our own dilemma. When we stand on the edge of a cliff or at the bottom of a canyon, it's good for us to let ourselves know that the world is not just fighting alone. "

"So, I hope to share my persistence, so that those lonely dreamers and ordinary people living in difficulties can know that we all have our own war to complete. So is Heather, so are the children who are struggling on the line of life and death, and so are we all

"That's why I donated the guitar and the score. I'm not sure if Heather will agree with my choice, but I hope she can be on the same side with me. I sincerely hope that through this less than 50 dollar guitar, the warmth of that little bit of hope will spread out. "

Applause and thunder!

Beatrice couldn't even resist her excitement, so she stood up, patted her hands hard, and looked at lenley in disbelief.

In her chest, she could feel the heat surging.

The reason why Langley hall is a unique "Langley hall" is that in the depth of his soul, he always has the purity and sincerity that others can't compare. Today, Langley once again proved his uniqueness with a speech. The speech and enthusiasm of all the guests in the audience have become insignificant.

Only a few of the guests stood up - everyone was a big shot. They didn't attend the Oscars, so they didn't plan to stand up and applaud for lanli. But Beatrice still stood obstinately and firmly, with bright lights in her eyes.
