1305 Ulysses
In an empty bar, LeVine held his guitar and sang loudly, lonely and alone. His socks and shoes were soaked. He didn't even have a winter coat, except for a guitar and a singing voice. , he had nothing, sitting calmly in front of Bud Grossman, at the end of the wandering journey, exhausted physically and mentally, humming the vicissitudes of tune..
He chanted hoarsely, "Can I beg you, cut open the right side of my body and find my baby? Find my baby.”
Emily supported her cheek with the palm of her right hand, and the hot tears fell one by one like broken pearls. The sad and touching lyrics danced gently between her lips and teeth, uncontrollably. Sadness echoes in the chest, like a kite that cannot find a place to rest, floating alone..
Henry VIII had six wives in his life, and Queen Jane was his third wife. Although he owned the whole world and it was the most powerful period in England and Ireland, the love of his life was always Jane; regrettably. Unfortunately, after giving birth to Edward, Jane passed away. This was a lingering memory for Henry VIII. After his death, he and Jane were buried together..
Queen Jane.
oh queen jane.
Jim and Jane's Jane.
The new life conceived in Jane's body. Jane never asked whether he was willing to stay, whether he wished to stay; Jane also never asked whether he loved her..
That was the most precious dream and the most precious soul deep in LeVine's heart, but it disappeared forever because of Mike's passing. It was buried deeply in his heart and forever dusted. Therefore, Bud said that his musical feelings Lack of connection with the audience.
That is also the softest warmth and most precious soul deep in LeVine's heart. One of his two children, one is two years old but has no chance to see him, and the other will never be seen again without speaking. It is like the relationship between him and his father. Two complete strangers.
Behind the melodious and graceful melody, there are too many stories hidden. In LeVine's tired and vicissitudes of humming, it is like a slowly flowing poem, carefully describing the wounds and pain deep in the soul, hiding In the story of Henry VIII and Queen Jane, only by truly calming down can one capture the fragmented emotional fragments..
Emily just stared at LeVine quietly, crying so hard that she couldn't help herself. He is a bastard, but a bastard that makes people love you crazy..
Lewin lowered his eyes slightly, and a tired smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, revealing the softness and fragility of his heart. A touch of sadness loomed in the corners of his eyes, and disappeared in the hazy halo of light and shadow in the blink of an eye. He sang like this , "People sang and danced on the day when the prince was born; but poor Queen Jane, whom I loved most, lay like a cold stone, sleeping forever..”
But Bud said, "I don't see any business value..”
Emily stared at LeVine's tired, dazed, bitter, and sad eyes through her hazy tearful eyes. Her vision had gradually blurred, and hot tears dripped down, scalding the softest part of her soul. part, and then she heard LeVine exhale inaudibly and replied, "Okay..”
He said, okay.
The bruised soul finally could no longer bear all the weight. It surrendered exhaustedly, gave up resistance, gave up struggle, gave up effort, and sat quietly and peacefully, accepting its fate calmly, but no one knew it. How far has he traveled in the past?.
“I'm putting together a trio. Two men and one woman. You can't be the lead singer. But if you're willing to trim your beard, change it to a goatee, and hide in the shadows, we can see if your voice can match the other guys. The two of us are compatible. Are you willing to be the backing vocalist?？”
“No." LeVine replied, and then changed his answer, "Yes. But, uh... no. Forget it, I once had a partner..”
“Ah ha, that makes sense. My suggestion? You reorganize.”
LeVine gently retracted his chin, "That's a good suggestion..”
Steven Spielberg raised his right hand in embarrassment and wiped the tears on his cheek, but the tears could not stop at all. A series of warm tears fell down again, and the deep sadness surged up like this. Because That era, because of that dream, and because of that partner who passed away forever.
The most touching and sincere part of LeVine's music will forever be accompanied by Mike's passing and sleep forever..
Mike chose to leave this world in a decisive way, cutting off his connection with music and dreams; while LeVine chose to stay in this world in an unyielding way, fighting hard and persisting in trying to be right, but in the end he was still defeated by reality. abandoned.
dream? It has no commercial value; art? No one will care until it has commercial value.
Steven, the director who created "Jurassic Park", "ET" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with his childlike innocence and fantasy, used his whimsical ideas in the distant future to film "The Number One" "Player", dreams have always been the most important source of motivation for his creation; but now, he watched helplessly as LeVine was overwhelmed by reality..
When he saw LeVine's feet stepping deeply and shallowly into the snow, not caring about the soaked shoes and socks, he clung to his thin coat in the cold wind, and clung to the front of his body covered with wounds. OK.
Steven's heart was full of bitterness and happiness, but he couldn't express it in words at all. He just raised his right hand and put it on his lips, quietly listening to the noise coming from the movie, as if that It’s the most beautiful and moving melody in the world.
……
LeVine stood on the side of the road and hailed a ride back to New York. The other party was a tired young man. The only request was that LeVine could also drive so that he could have a good sleep..
On the way back, Lewin saw the signs leading to Akron several times in a row..
Looking at the small town under the cover of falling snowflakes, LeVine's eyes quietly froze, and he silently looked at the hazy halo over and over again. Akron, Diane's hometown, the two Where the children are.
But in the end, he still didn't change direction or apply the brakes. He continued to move forward..
While he was drowsy, a big yellow cat flashed in front of the car's headlights. LeVine suddenly woke up, slammed on the emergency brake, opened the car door in fear and shock, and looked over the front bumper of the car. When he saw the blood stains, he was stunned in place.
Slowly turning around, he saw a limping big yellow cat in the mist, running towards the woods, and finally the figure completely disappeared. LeVine stood there, dazed and distracted, There was a deep sadness and confusion in his eyes.
After returning to New York, LeVine chose to give up.
As his sister suggested, LeVine was ready to return to the ship again, go to sea as a sailor, and maintain his life through a relatively stable job. He emptied all his savings and repaid the dues that he had missed in the past period. After paying, he will be ready to go to sea again on Friday, return to the life he has been trying to avoid, and return to his old business..
this is the end.
LeVine came to the nursing home to visit his father, but while playing his father's favorite song, he found that his father peed his pants..
Lewin came to his sister's house and looked for his first mate's certificate and helmsman's certificate, but found that his sister had thrown away all the old documents..
LeVine came to Jane and Jim's house, put down his guitar, and declared his surrender..
LeVine came to the union building to apply for a new certificate, only to find that he needed eighty-five dollars to apply for a new certificate..
LeVine came to the Gaslight Cafe to get drunk, but was eventually thrown out of the cafe.
Because LeVine heard Papi showing off that he had succeeded in getting Jane..
Tomorrow night, a reporter from "Times" will show up at the Gaslight Cafe. In order to get LeVine a chance to perform, Jane let Pappy succeed..
He owes Jane again.
In anger, LeVine lost control, and after a period of chaos, he was thrown out of the cafe.
It was another homeless night. LeVine tried to find someone within five blocks that he had not offended, but in the end, he found the home of Mr. and Mrs. Grofiens. They were generous and kind. Opened their arms, welcomed LeVine's arrival, and allowed him to stay at their home
The Grovefiances were entertaining guests. They thought Jim's commercial song "Please, Mr. Kennedy" was very entertaining. The song was a huge success, and the royalties were enough to change a person's life, but LeVine chose to give up.
Lillian warmly welcomed LeVine, not only did she not blame him, but she also took the initiative to apologize..
LeVine, who quietly restrained his sharp thorns, also became embarrassed..
The big yellow cat found its way home on its own. LeVine thought the Grofiens had gotten a new cat, but they unexpectedly said that it was the original one. "Ulysses".”
“Ulysses? That's his name? "It wasn't until now that LeVine understood the cat's name..
Ulysses.
Emily couldn't help but gently repeated the term between her lips and teeth, and then she finally understood why this cat appeared throughout the entire story, and why LeVine accidentally bumped into the big yellow cat and then... Watching it limping away with a disappointed face, why did the cat keep wandering and rushing around, why did he go around and around and finally return to the same place?.
“Ulysses.”
The next morning, Ulysses woke LeVine, and the Grofiens had left the apartment early and went to work, leaving LeVine alone at home..
After going around in circles, he returned to the same place again, and it seemed that nothing had changed. Only this time, when leaving, Ulysses tried to escape again, but Lewin stopped the little guy in time, Without repeating the same mistake, he closed the apartment door and walked away..
It's the Gaslight Cafe again, it's "Hang me, oh, hang me."”.
Another creamy yellow halo, another acoustic guitar and a voice.
