The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1599: Sweet as sweet
From the kerosene lamp bar of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" to the real-world Madison Square Garden, the song "Hang me, hang me", builds a bridge between two time and space, allowing thoughts to follow the flow of light and shadow. Walking freely, in a trance, it seems that I have really returned to the kerosene lamp bar in the 1960s, in the beginning of the "Drunk Country Folk Song" movie.
"If a song is never new, but never outdated, it is a folk song."
That’s because folk songs are always telling the gurgling poetry and sadness. They are different from village stories and jazz petty bourgeoisie. Folk songs are like wandering poets, recording sufferings in the drifting, seeming melody is always similar. Yes, but the real difference comes from the singer's interpretation and commentary. The same song can taste different pains.
The shooting of "Drunk Country Folk Songs" was only a year ago, but in the past twelve months, I have experienced too much. Now Lan Li is no longer the original Lan Li after all. His singing is in Telling about relief and calmness, sorrow faintly added a touch of chic and unruly, as if slowly telling the follow-up story of Levine Davis after the film ended.
However, not everyone can comprehend the emotions behind the singing and melody. Only the audience who really understood the movie "Drunk Country Folk Songs", and only the audience who really calmed down and listened, only really understood Lan Li's singing. Only when the audience can understand the passing years of water, just like the album "Don Quixote", otherwise it would be just a slightly sweet performance in front of them, and they would not feel anything special at all.
This is also the most amazing thing: the exclusive password belonging to Don Quixote, only they can understand.
After the song was sung, a faint feeling of nostalgia spread in Madison Square Garden. The comfort and enjoyment rolled in the chest, making people unable to extricate themselves, and I couldn’t help but want to wander in it and let myself go. Just lost in the tunnel of time and space, looking for the footprints of Levine Davis.
William Taylor finally came back to his senses, with a bright smile on his face, and then applauded towards the stage, and even whistled playfully, as if he were truly in a kerosene lamp bar. The casual and ridiculous way of cheering on the streets makes the folk bar more accessible and casual.
At this time, Madison Square Garden finally awakened.
Unexpected opening, moving performance, peculiar rhythm... All these unusual way of unveiling the concert, re-enacting the beginning of the "Drunk Country Folk Song" movie, leaving the audience in a short period of consternation and confusion. Reasonably led everyone back to the 1960s, but the passage of time was so gentle and moving, all the irritability and excitement gradually calmed down, and then I was so immersed in the performance that I could not extricate myself.
until now.
After the emotions recovered, the cheers and cheers began to burst out gradually. When the voice broke free from the shackles of the throat, the excitement and excitement revived again, and then the screams became a whole, and the mighty waves set off the entire Madison Square Garden.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
The frenetic screams and roars echoed endlessly, and they began to climb step by step, seeming to be releasing all the emotions that had just been suppressed exponentially, and the thunder rattled, even the wooden floor of the stage. You can feel the slight vibration.
Above the eardrums, you can clearly feel the impact of the layers of sound waves, like a continuous drumbeat, even the blood starts to boil. This is the beauty of live performance, like a theater stage, breaking the shackles of the screen. The performer and the audience look at each other face to face, fully present the artistic tension of the performance, and complete the mutual transmission without hindrance, so that both parties are deeply deep. Deeply addicted to it.
The entire Madison Square Garden was a sensation, spreading from inside to outside. The waiting audience outside the field finally felt the craze again. They were even more happy and crazy than the audience in the field, jumping up and down one by one. Use your whole body to express your joy and excitement.
That sound wave joined the audience without hindrance, stirring up even more turbulent stormy waves.
Holding the guitar in his arms and sitting quietly in the middle of the stage, Lan Li's mouth rose like this.
Only a few days ago, he was filming "Interstellar Transition" in Iceland.
The filming work this time has always been relaxed and enjoyable. More importantly, all the main difficult parts were left in the Los Angeles studio. Because of the need to set up special shooting scenes, the scenes in Calgary and Iceland were relatively simple and really hard work. The part is to fight against the natural weather, light, temperature, etc., rather than the performance itself. For Lan Li, it can be said to be comfortable and enjoy it.
After the filming in Iceland, the crew took a ten-day holiday: partly because of the Christmas holiday, and partly because of the shooting in Los Angeles. As a result, Lan Li returned to New York, joined the performance stage of "Dream Back to Kerosene Lamp Bar", and once again returned to the world of Levine Davis.
As the outside world said, this concert was just a joke before the crew, but the main actors, including Lan Li, all said that if it was really held as scheduled, they would be very willing to attend. Later, Sony Classics really paid. All the actions have taken place, and all the actors have responded positively-
Not to mention the busy schedulers such as Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, and Lanly Hall. Even Stark Sanders and others who are busy on Broadway are also full schedule, but every actor They all expressed positively that they must be there on December 27th. No matter how busy their schedule is, they will do their best to promote this matter.
Tonight, everyone is present.
It can also be seen from the side that in the friendly atmosphere during the filming of "Drunk Country Folk Songs", the actors established a good friendship.
After two years on the performance stage of the concert again, quietly watching the noisy and boiling craze in front of me, the emotions in my chest are slightly mixed.
From the past to the present, performance has always been his source of motivation. He devoted himself to the performance and wandered in the performance world desperately. Even though he was bruised and bruised, even if he stumbled, even if he was suffering, he was still happy and tired. Scars are medals of memory.
But unconsciously, a group of friends walking side by side were added to him. They always unconditionally supported his choice, always cheered for him unconditionally, and always unconditionally followed his dreams. They have become the best companions on this path of self-searching and breaking through themselves.
Leaving the closed state of the crew, standing on the stage again, once again felt the enthusiasm and madness of the support wave, and the inner touch was quietly permeating.
He is realizing his dream, and they are cheering for his dream. Just like Heather Cross. Although his parents could not understand and refused to support him, he had more supporters and peers. On the road of his second life, he was not alone after all.
In a daze, Lan Li saw Heather again. She stood in the crowd with a bright smile, waving her hands, and then began to dance with the rhythm. The ivory white skirt bloomed like flowers. You can even hear the silver bell-like laughter echoing.
Involuntarily, I remembered the melody again in my mind:
At the beginning of the shooting scene of "Burst Drummer", in the last 400-stroke scene, his performance finally achieved a breakthrough and a new life. After experiencing all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, he successfully entered a new realm of performance. The past efforts and persistence are just like The marquee usually runs through his head, and on the spot, he created half of the "bullet"——
Putting his life into the performance, like being shot, there is no regrets even if he is wounded all over.
Tonight, the melody began to play again and circled again, and the meaning of life gleamed on this stage. In addition to performances, there are companions who travel all the way.
In fact, that melody is more suitable for rock arrangement, because the drums of the drums and the bass of the bass are the focus of the whole song, but now, only relying on a guitar in his hand, he is still inspired, maybe, he can Try it out.
"Welcome to the kerosene lamp bar."
After the applause and cheers gradually calmed down, Lan Li smiled into the microphone and said.
"In fact, we have had some arguments about the opening performance tonight. I always think we should select performers who are not very popular to come to the hot spot, but in the end everyone is not willing to admit that their popularity is not high, so, Ethan and Joel pushed me out without loyalty. I guess, on this stage, I really lack confidence."
Lan Li said in a relaxed tone, jokingly and humorously, as if he was really sitting in a pub, except that the low laughter of the 20,000 fans in the audience was like a roar of thunder~lightnovelpub.net~ When the noise was heard, the differences in the venues were immediately revealed, but instead created an absurd sense of joy, which made the laughter more cheerful.
"But I insisted that we only presented this performance in the form of'Drunk Country Folk Songs'. It was me at the beginning and end, absolutely not because of popularity.
Lan Li solemnly emphasized a sentence, which caused a lot of whistles on the scene, and one after another roared.
"I guess, I'm still a bit popular." Lan Li raised his eyebrows, said jokingly, and once again made everyone laugh collectively, "The next song was originally intended to perform another song, but I stand here. On the stage, I had some inspiration. Not long ago, when I was shooting another work, I used to create a half-dead piece, and then I never got inspiration. But tonight, I will stand on this stage again , Feel this craze again, I want to try it."
"Don't hold too much hope, after all, this is a folk song, you know, if a song..."
Before Lan Li's words could be finished, the audience shouted in unison:
"It has never been new, but it has never been outdated."
