010 folk poet
“I just had an audition this afternoon that was not successful..." Renly's words aroused the laughter of the audience in the bar, and some even shouted, "Renly, you are the best."！”
Tom took a quick look at Steven, and then saw his old friend's face darken again. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Renly's blatant provocation. But Tom was quite interested. An excellent actor always needs With some edges and corners, he found things more interesting..
“But this audition gave me some inspiration, and I am willing to share it with everyone here." Renly's eyes just passed over table fourteen, and then he scanned the entire audience hidden in the darkness. With a blurry face, he joked, "I know I am very popular, and everyone is reminiscing about my wonderful performances before..." This sentence made everyone burst into laughter, "But today, please allow me Perform this special music, just released.”
Applause, all the audience at the scene applauded, and some even roared loudly to cheer for Renly. Stanley, who was standing next to the bar, turned to look at Neil, asking with his eyes, "Do you know about this accident?？”
Niall spread his hands and shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing. Stanley waved his hand as if swatting a fly, ignored Niall, and looked at the stage again. Renly, bathed in the light, was exposed. With a brisk smile, the notes of the guitar strings danced in the crystal clear milky yellow light waterfall, like an elf spreading its wings..
Steven couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that Renly would mention the content of the audition, use the support of the audience to test their talents, or use such a platform to show his talent again, but he never expected that the melody would be on Renly's side. The fingertips are cheerfully sketched, and the increasingly brisk musical notes are filled with happiness and joy, making every listener unable to help but follow along and beat the beat..
This is the second time Steven has misunderstood Renly..
The melody like turbulent spring water lingered throughout the bar. Renly lowered his eyes and looked at the guitar strings intently. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was the only one left in the world, and then that The mellow voice runs through the staff composed of musical notes, and is so warm that it makes people intoxicated, "I was Cleopatra, I was a young actor, when you knelt on my knees Begging for my hand in front of the bed……”
The first line of the lyrics made Steven freeze in place. Cleopatra, also known as "Cleopatra", during the audition this afternoon, the part Renly performed was Mark Antony, Cleopatra. Tepara's lifelong love. So, this is the "realization" Renly was talking about, and he was singing a song about Cleotepara..
“But I am so sad because I am wearing a long black dress, my father is sleeping in a coffin, and I don’t have any plans.” Among the cheerful melody, the lyrics are like a sad narrative poem, graceful and poignant, with a touch of sadness and regret. Walking between the lines, this is the story of Cliotpara, but this is not the Cliotpara that the world is familiar with, the disaster described by Shakespeare as "the unparalleled sexual temptress".
“Oh..." He sighed softly, and the smile on Renly's lips seemed to be filled with a touch of sadness, "I left muddy footprints on the carpet. When you left, it gradually became stiff like my heart; but I must admit that I will immediately agree to your proposal, curse your wife, and be your lover in order to stay by your side..”
Cleopatra agreed to Caesar's courtship, even though Caesar still had a wife at the time. In the eyes of the world, she was a woman who would do anything for power and profit, but no one saw her true inner emotions. That love that was like a moth to a flame put her in a place of eternal doom, and she was forever burdened with infamy..
She was a woman, a woman who had no status or freedom in the society at that time and could only rely on men. But when people judged her, they always forgot this. Because they blamed the country's demise and historical mistakes. It's always easier to give to a woman.
“But it's too late, everything is too late, I missed the love of my life." The strings in Renly's hand suddenly stopped, and he hummed in a clear voice, but the simple sentence "It's too late" was all he said. Countless sadness and loneliness, "When I pass away, I will not miss it anymore.”
She missed everything, missed life, the only thing she didn't miss was her own death.
The joyful melody sounded again, lingering in the ears, but the lingering sadness spread on the tip of the tongue, so bitter that it was difficult to swallow, and the emotions that passed by like a breeze were chanting and surging. The emotions took hold of my brain in an instant, and my heart suddenly hurt so much that I couldn't breathe..
“The church curbs all the desires hidden in my blood. Yes, flesh and blood is my existence, but I firmly believe in the truth." The poetic words touched Renly's lips and teeth, and they were so beautiful that it was heartbreaking. .The real sorrow is not the lack of freedom, but the refusal to embrace freedom, tightly imprisoning one's soul in the flesh and blood, like a walking zombie. "So I drove the taxi, the traffic distracted me, and sat in the back seat of passengers awakened memories of you.”
Renly suddenly strummed the strings faster with his right hand, and the melody became more and more cheerful, like the hem of his skirt flying under the steps of flamenco dance, and the bright and flamboyant red danced into gorgeous petals, which made his heart thrillingly. It stopped beating, but there was an indescribable sadness permeating the joy. It was as if the naked eye could see the flying dust bringing this silence to everyone's shoulders, and the heavy weight made the smile at the corner of the mouth appear. Had a sad experience.
“But it's too late, everything is too late, I missed the love of my life. When I died alone, when I died alone, I will not miss it anymore.”
The crystal clear musical notes are like dewdrops that reflect the morning sun, and the poetic lyrics collide with turbulent and boiling emotions between the lips and teeth, causing a dull pain in the chest. There is nothing fancy, Renly just relies on himself Her voice was singing, but it was so majestic and magnificent that the light lost its color..
Suddenly, Tom's tears broke down. Everything happened so suddenly that he was caught off guard. Mark Antony and Cleopatra appeared inexplicably in his mind. In another tragedy of Shakespeare's "Antony" and Cleopatra", he always believed that Antony was obsessed with Cleopatra's beauty and delayed state affairs, which led to the decline of Rome. But, this is the fate of the two people who once loved each other, Because of the wrong time and wrong place, it leads to mistakes in destiny and delays in life..
Delaying a lifetime. What a tragic and poignant sentence. Unexplained lamentation and sadness firmly occupy my heart..
“The only gift God has given me is one life and one divorce, but I know the script and the costumes are just right, so I will play my role well." The guitar strings outlined again, and the gentle melody brought my thoughts to another place. one level.
It turns out that all this is just God's arrangement, all this is just a play, all this is just a mockery of fate. Ridiculous, ridiculous, sad, joking, mocking. How sad, how helpless, how desolate, she Like a puppet, she puts on a costume and plays her role according to the script. But what about herself?？
“I was once Cleopatra, I was once higher than the roof, but all the past has gone with the wind; now the nurse in white shoes leads me back to the guest room..." The melody gradually rose, Renly's After the song reached a high point, there was a touch of loneliness, as if the setting sun remained with a few strokes on the horizon, "There is only a bed and a bathroom, a place leading to the end." The trick of fate is still there after all. Reached the end. This time, she will not miss it again.
Love, such a simple yet complex word; freedom, such a luxurious yet ordinary word. The woman named Cleopatra once chased her inner desire wantonly, but left a lifetime of infamy. What's even more sad is that she still missed it after all. She once thought that Caesar was the love of her life, but he failed her; she once thought that Anthony was her destiny, but he hurt her again. In this fate On the road, she stumbled, faltered, and was bruised and bruised, but in the end she was teased by fate and ended up alone..
“I won't miss it again, I won't miss it again, miss the love of my life. When I die alone, when I die alone, I won't miss it again.”
The melody slowly dissipated in the air. There was a trace of magnetism in Renly's long tail tone, dragging a long tail in the air, just like a firefly falling in the dark night. You can clearly see the light streaking out. A trace then became darker and darker until it completely disappeared. The whole night once again fell into the boundless darkness..
“When I die alone, I won't miss it anymore.”
Tom wiped the warmth from his eyes in embarrassment, but the turbulent emotions could not calm down at all. Renly's audition in the afternoon was once again recalled in his mind. The tragedy that burst out in that moment fermented and settled in the melody just now. The feeling in his chest I can't find an accurate word for my complicated feelings, but the resonance is undeniably stirring..
Soon, Tom discovered that he was not the only one. At this moment, many audience members sitting in the bar were looking at the stage with tears in their eyes. They didn't care about their own embarrassment at all, and just watched Renly quietly. , even the light falling down becomes extraordinarily gentle.
These are real listeners, listeners who really listen to the music with their souls. They understand the story in Renly's singing, and then they are immersed in the music and cannot extricate themselves. There is no applause, no screaming, no hesitation, or even any sound. Everyone is quietly savoring, savoring the faint melancholy, savoring the sadness hidden under the cheerful melody, savoring the bard-like wisdom. Truly outstanding music has such power.
