Chapter 73： country town

Claire - Days is well aware that for such a talent as Evan - Bell, he can only slowly figure it out. He would rather set up his own music blog than disdain the invitation of the two major record companies Warner and Universal, which is evident. What Claire Days guessed was that Evan Bell was worried that after entering a big company, he would be tied down and lose what he was after, so he chose to stand on his own. Universal Music wants to make Melancholy an idol band, which is why Evan Bell refused.

In Claire Days' opinion, it is absolutely stupid to tie Evan Bell's hands and feet and package it according to the company's plan. Only by letting him play freely will the amazing melody like "Just a Dream" appear. Can play, sing and compose, handsome and unrestrained, full of personality, Claire Dyce really likes this 18-year-old boy.

So, Claire Dess has a good attitude. Even if he can't sign a contract, he hopes to have a good deal with Evan Bell. At least, it will be more convenient to ask him for songs in the future. Of course, Claire Days was even more shocked when she saw the news of the "sniper phone booth" street shooting. In addition to his musical talent, Claire Days discovered that Evan Bell was actually well-received in the film industry. The praise of "Death Illusion" is not difficult to find, and the outstanding performance of "Sniper Phone Booth" is also the focus of the news these days.

At this moment, Claire Days made what he believed to be the wisest decision of his agent career: befriend Evan Bell.

"Evan just wants to concentrate on making his own music at the moment, and has no idea of ​​signing with any record company for the time being." Teddy Bell's thoughts went round in his mind, and finally he refused directly. But because of Claire Days' good attitude, Teddy Bell made a simple explanation, which was considered an explanation for the other party.

Being rejected, Claire Days was not surprised, the expression on her face didn't change, and she didn't say any compliments, just smiled and said, "Of course. A musician like Mr. Bell, there is no restraint to let When he plays freely, there will be really good music. 'It's just a dream', with a long aftertaste."

Teddy Bell stared at Claire Days with azure blue eyes. This middle-aged man with a beer belly and Mediterranean hair in front of him still had a faint smile on his face. There was no flattery or flattery. With a pretentious courtesy, Teddy Bell actually saw sincerity in those wrinkled eyes.

Claire Days didn't stay any longer, "Please say hello to Mr. Bell for me." Then she turned and left. When he stepped away from the front of the dry cleaner, he looked back, and through the faint sunlight in the room, Claire Days saw Teddy Bell take the business card on the table back into his hand. Claire Days made no further stops and left with a smile. Although there is still no result today, but at least, a good impression has been left, and Claire Days is in a very happy mood.

Gu Luobei doesn't know and doesn't care about things in New York. Speaking of which, he is so free to join the entertainment industry. Although not many, there are definitely not many, including Ryan Gosling, a friend Gu Luobei met not long ago. So Gu Luobei is not a maverick.

All the way to the south, Gu Luobei stopped and went to Nashville, the capital of Tennessee. Due to the long journey, Gu Luobei decided to rest for one night and then go to climb the Great Smoky Mountains the next day.

Nashville is located on the Cumberland River. The city is filled with more than 100 parks and a huge inland lake. It is also a famous living holy place in the United States. However, compared with the beautiful environment of Nashville, the name of "the birthplace of American country music" here is obviously louder.

As an enduring music genre in the United States, country music has always played a pivotal role in the United States. Even though rhythm and blues and hip-hop music have begun to flourish this year, the market of country and rock has not been shaken too much. The heart is always irreplaceable.

When Gu Luobei arrived in Nashville, it was after four o'clock in the afternoon. Putting the luggage in the youth hostel, Gu Luobei went out.

Walking along the Cumberland River, there is a green park by the side. The fresh air makes people feel refreshed. Among the cities Gu Luobei has visited, only the emerald city Seattle can match. Seattle is also famous as the best city to live in in the United States. The green that can’t be seen at a glance has left a deep impression on Gu Luobei. Although Nashville is not so green, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The refreshing and pleasant natural inland lake is still refreshing. It's no wonder that nearly 100 companies moved their companies to Nashville last year, and it became one of the top ten news items selected at the beginning of this year.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the lake surface, illuminating the thin layer of water vapor brightly and translucently, and each drop of water reflected a little golden brilliance. In an instant, this quiet lake and mountains are like a fairyland on earth. Perhaps, this is how the mirage appeared, no wonder people are so intoxicated.

Gu Luobei sat down by the lake and quietly bathed in the sunset. It was just such quietness, but he smelled freedom, and this kind of life fascinated him. This was the joy he had never been able to enjoy in his previous life.

The faces of his parents in the last life have been blurred. Eighteen years, only eighteen years have passed, the memories of the previous life have become blurred. Did time erase all traces, or he chose to forget after starting over. Gu Luobei wasn't sure about the answer either.

In his last life, his parents appeared too rarely and too rarely. They were always busy, so busy, that they even stingy when it came to going home. So he has always grown up by himself, and has grown up strong and hard. He lives according to his parents' requirements, changes himself according to his parents' requirements, and chooses the future according to his parents' expectations. But unfortunately, the way his parents looked at him was not much different from looking at the goods.

Does he complain? Does he hate it? Do not. It's just that I can't remember clearly, that's all, the originally blurred face was carefully searched in my mind at this time, but there was still no clear outline.

That's why he has no life of his own, and everything moves forward according to the trajectory required by his parents; that's why he obeys his girlfriend, because she is the only one who has his eyes firmly fixed on himself. For her, he is willing to Continue to be a marionette. The man died for the confidant, and the woman was the one who pleases him. He just hoped that he would no longer be alone, but he was disappointed after all.

Thinking of this, Gu Luobei's heart suddenly tightened, those bushy eyebrows were tangled together, he just felt unable to breathe. The broad palms were tightly clasped together, the slender fingers were buried in the palms, only the knuckles glowing blue, the blue veins on the back of the hands were beating rapidly and disorderly, and the whole fist was shaking slightly.

He just didn't want to be alone.

Suddenly, the fist loosened, the whole palm was white, and the blood returned to the palm little by little, but it was still pale and scary. Gu Luobei took a deep breath, and the quiet lake in front of him was still shining brightly, but the setting sun sank again, and the glow of the lake was dimmed a lot.

Eighteen years later, the events of the previous life are still firmly revolving in my heart. Gu Luobei clenched his fists a little depressedly, but found that his hands were weak, he just waved it in the air, as if he wanted to shake away the nightmare just now.

I was already exhausted in my mind, but looking at the glowing rays of the sun in front of me, reflecting the lake in the park and buildings, and the sunset struggling to sink in the horizon, a low lyric overflowed from Gu Luobei's lips. .

"After the Great Destruction, you stood there alone. What are you waiting for on the edge of a strange land. And disasters still follow, you cry in your heart, 'Save me', you are helpless and alone."

"I'm helpless", Gu Luobei showed a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. He once shouted "help me" and found a life-saving rope, but he didn't want to, the person on the other end of the rope finally let go, in a most terrifying way way, let him fall into the abyss. That kind of pain, gnawing at the heart.

When his left hand touched the ring finger of his right hand again, Gu Luobei shrank his left hand as if he had touched a cauldron, but he only paused for a moment and held his right hand fiercely. Ring finger. The ring finger of the right hand, this is the place where he wore the engagement ring in the previous generation, and the imprint of the ring is left here, which is deeply and cannot be erased.

Originally, according to tradition, engagement and wedding rings are worn on the left hand, because that is where the heart is connected. But at the beginning she said that she didn't want to be mediocre, she wanted to be different. So when you get engaged, you wear the ring on your right hand, and when you get married, you wear it on your left hand. So, he put the engagement ring on the ring finger of his right hand. Now that I think about it, when she got engaged, her heart was gone? Then when he proposed, the joy she showed... Gu Luobei didn't dare to let himself think about it any longer.

When the words on the lips sounded again, the disturbances in my mind became silent little by little. They did not dissipate, but slowly disappeared, hiding in a corner of memory, just like a bird that would take Gu Luobei at any time. Devouring beasts.

Music is really a magical thing. When Gu Luobei turned the thoughts in his mind into lyrics and recited them, his messed up mind suddenly became a lot clearer. The vague figures of the parents in his mind became clear again at this time. Gu Luobei quietly used his thoughts to describe it. After finishing it, he found that it was Catherine Bell and Teddy Bell. Gu Luobei's mouth finally pulled out a smile. In this life, he was very happy.

Gu Luobei didn't read aloud, but lowered his voice to outline the whole world little by little. The song isn't new, it's the first half of "Sky Light," the first half of the melody that was written during a road trip with Blake Lively. Unexpectedly, the "sky light" that has been suspended for more than half a year without any inspiration will continue today.

First update today. Still need to collect and recommend, I hope you will support!
