Susan Sullivan is only fifty-five years old this year, and she is definitely not young in the street performance army, but she has been performing for twelve years and can be said to be a senior.
The first time Gu Luobei met Susan-Sullivan was because Gu Luobei helped her drive away the street gangsters who were trying to make trouble.
Since then, Gu Luobei has known little by little the story of this over half-hundred-year-old mother.
Susan-Sullivan and her husband, Ted-Sullivan, have known each other since they were ten years old. They are a model of childhood sweethearts. At twenty-five, they got married: a happy marriage that lasted only thirteen years. Because of Ted Sullivan's illness, he was in a dilemma. In order to take care of her family and her husband's illness, Susan and Sullivan supported the whole family by herself, but society was cruel. In the late 1980s, Susan and Sullivan, who were running from both ends of the company and the family, lost their jobs, and years of hard work paid off. Not much savings were left. In the end, Susan-Sullivan chose to be a part of the street performance at the subway station.
Violin, Susan-Sullivan can only be regarded as an amateur level, but this performance is twelve years! Her perseverance and her efforts have become the warmest landscape in this cold society.
From acquaintance, to falling in love, to staying together: from classmates to lovers, to lovers. Susan-Sullivan and Ted-Sullivan held each other's hands and went through forty-five years together. "Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they will fly separately." This sentence has become a joke because of Sullivanf's fù. The two couples also agreed to donate their bodies together for medical research after death. We share dreams in life, and we also pursue in death. This is a shock to Gu Luobei, but also a moving one.
Gu Luobei is only one person, and the help he can provide is very limited, but every time he encounters Susan-Sullivan, Gu Luobei will work with this respectable wife to attract more audiences for her one-day performance. The meager power is not worth mentioning, but this intention cannot be ignored.
Sympathy is never what Susan-Sullivan needs, because she doesn't feel that it is hard to stay with her husband, as well as the government's subsidy, coupled with self-reliance and hard work, Susan-Sullivan feels that every hard moment in life, brings together It will always be sweet in the end. Gu Luobei's enthusiastic help was just a small moment for Susan-Sullivan to continue to persevere.
"Of course, it's my luck to be able to have Evan Bell, who has been extremely hot recently, perform with me... Susan Sullivan gave a hearty smile, instead of being frustrated by the hurry of the surrounding tourists, but ridiculed Look at Gu Luobei. Oprah's talk show, Susan and Sullivan don't drop every episode.
Gu Luobei didn't come out with the guitar today, so he took the snare drum beside Susan-Sullivan's feet. "How about it? A cheerful song?" Under the hustle and bustle of the red light district, only lively tunes can attract attention.
The number of collaborations between Susan-Sullivan and Gu Luobei is not too many, but not too few. The two have three or four pieces that they often play together, mainly because Susan-Sullivan plays more classical movements on the violin. Pop music is limited. Seeing Gu Luobei's eyes, Susan knew the meaning as soon as Sullivan put it on her shoulders again, and then gave Gu Luobei a "ready" look.
Gu Luobei put the small drum in front of him, spread his hands into palms, and tapped on the drum surface. Small
The sound of the drum is clear and lively, and the penetrating power varies greatly. It can be used to create a rich level of sound through different hardness and strength. It can play various atmospheres and is very expressive. Gu Luobei still doesn't specialize in percussion, but after working with Jason-Mayez in Nashville last time, he became interested in drums. Professional-level drums can't be played, but there is no problem with the lively atmosphere of street performances.
The drum beat penetrated the air in the noisy crowd, making a bright sound. The full tone of the violin was like a rock piercing the clouds, and a fresh air was poke through the tumultuous sound.
That cheerful tune fits naturally with Broadway just a few steps away.
The song is from the Beatles' classic number one single "Ms Madonna (t,
The lively and relaxed rhythm and strong jazz style immediately grabbed the attention of many people. Although this combination of small drum and violin is somewhat nondescript, it did not play the essence of the original song, but in the country of music , everything is in common. Many people around immediately stopped, although not many, but at least it has improved from before.
After playing for only a while, there were seven or eight tourists around who left their footsteps here. At the beginning of the lanterns, the strong jazz style of the 1980s, the brisk and lively rhythm, and the colorful neon lights, although not as good as a strip show, are still a pleasant choice.
Susan-Sullivan's smile got bigger, and she gave Gu Luobei a look. Gu Luobei couldn't help but chuckle and sang the song "Ms Madonna, the child is at your feet..." The lyrics are very simple, you don't need to be able to recite it, you can easily hum it. With music and singing, the scene became a lot more lively.
At this time, a man next to him clapped and played the rhythm, nodding his head in sync with the tempo, obviously very immersed in it. The rhythm in Gu Luobei's hands could not help but speed up, and shouted to the excited man, "Join us and have a carnival together!"
The man was obviously very open. Hearing Gu Luobei's call, he didn't have much scruples, he walked out of the crowd, and swayed in the center of the music together, although there was no specific dance routine. , but he stepped on the rhythm very accurately, and he could even make a **** to see that he had a good foundation in dancing. Gu Luobei recognized that step and should be a professional who had been in touch with stage plays.
Following the flamboyant and wanton body language, the face that was flickering under the neon light was not very clear, and Gu Luobei felt very familiar. However, Gu Luobei didn't have time to look at it carefully at this time, but instead focused on the small drum in his hand and immersed himself in this joy, which was enough.
Gu Luobei has always liked street performances. To be precise, it's performances, whether on stage or on the street. The enthusiasm that dissolves in the blood during performances can always make people lose their minds. He enjoys it very much. This feeling of throbbing.
In the past few months, because of the filming, Gu Luobei has not felt the martial arts again for a long time The Throne of Yin seeks the devil to be proud of the world, the Nine Heavens is the strongest, abandons the young Da Zhou royal family, martial arts will kill the gods at night The strongest abandoned young Da Zhou royal family has been performing hot, and today he was finally released again. He could even make a **** and feel that every cell was cheering and jumping for joy. Sweat seeped out from under the skin, along with the excited swing, because of the pull of gravity, it left the skin, and drew a beautiful arc in the air. , that scorching temperature rubbed against the fiery air in early summer to create the most dazzling fire, and then steamed, turned into steam before landing, dissipated in the air, and raised the surrounding temperature a bit.
Before you know it, thirty or forty spectators have gathered around, and the ensemble of Gu Luobei and Susan Sullivan has also changed from "Ms Madonna "Heep" to "Come and "We are all together." The classic songs of the Beatles brought the atmosphere of the scene to another **.
Strictly speaking, the violin is really not suitable for rock, nor for blues, and Susan-Sullivan's skills are not very good, and Gu Luobei, who is a guest drummer, is not amazing, but at this moment, the times 〖wide〗 A hundred yards west of the field along Forty-Second Street, here is a paradise for carnivals. It's just that I'm excited because of the music, because of the rhythm, and because of the atmosphere.
At this time, this small world is the center of a party, a place for a party, and a joyous origin. The surrounding noise became the background music, the people's shouts and applause became the rhythm, the cooperation of the drums and the violin became the melody, and a high-pitched loud music was performed, which became the most spectacular scene on the street when night fell.
Gu Luobei kept nodding his head to the music, and every touch of his hands and the drum head would change to a different sound. This kind of excitement made him immersed in the world of music and couldn't extricate himself.
There are melody passing by constantly in my head, sometimes it is the tune that is being played, sometimes it is an unknown melody, sometimes it is the music from other stores around, the whole world seems to be a fairy tale house built by notes, even in the air. The hot breath has a hint of sweetness.
"Stop getting married, let's get our adrenaline pumping: follow the drums and make our hearts go crazy. This is my party if I want, and we can make gods crazy enough to get carried away!"
Melody and lyrics flashed intermittently in Gu Luobei's mind, but at this time, he was so excited that his brain was deprived of oxygen, so he didn't bother to remember it, but just reveled with instinct and rhythm.
"It's him... Standing in the crowd, Avril Lavigne enjoys this rare carnival On the streets of New York, there is never a shortage of talented people who are good at acting, but today, in four At the intersection of Twelfth Street, the suffocating liveliness and madness almost robbed all the brilliance of the red light district. Even the bikini girls who were waiting at the door were attracted by this lively scene. The simple rhythm of stepping on the nose , Avril Lavigne involuntarily shook her long hair and enjoyed this moment of outdoor paradise.
After the beginning of spring, Avril Lavigne received the last reply from the agent as soon as she arrived at Lavigne. With the arrival of spring, her music career has finally melted into ice to welcome the spring. Since March, Avril Lavigne has been irritated by the four-month recording life, first in New York, then in Los Angeles, and recently back in New York. The preparation for the album is still not even halfway there.
When I came to New York this time, Avril Lavigne just got some air, and in a few days, I will go back to Los Angeles to prepare the album again.
Today, I came to Times Square for a stroll, but I was attracted by the crowd of nearly 100 people on the street. I ran over to enjoy this rare comfort together. I didn't want to, but in the middle of the crowd, I saw the figure who was sweating and showing enthusiasm: Evan Bell.
