1341 Completely forgetful
Rooney Mara sat cross-legged on the ground, watching Renly playing the drums intently, without any judgment, just quietly watching the entire practice process..
This year, Rooney also decided to take a good rest. Last year, she filmed five consecutive works, all year round, and the connection between one job and another was extremely close. She felt that her whole body was She was already overdrawn, and even talking seemed to be in low spirits. She needed to rest, both in terms of energy and strength..
Recently, Rooney has been staying in New York, not traveling far or going out, just enjoying the ordinary daily life in this city..
Occasionally, Rooney would exchange emails with Renly. It was not text messages, not phone calls, nor handwritten letters, but emails. It was neither trendy nor retro, but it had the meaning of formal communication in an office setting; however, in Rooney In Ni's opinion, judging from the speed with which Renly responded to letters, if this was an office, the matter would have gone awry long ago..
Last week, Renly sent an email saying that he was going to Lincoln Center to watch a jazz concert, along with Damien Chazelle, Justin Hurwitz, JK Simmons, and Melissa Bye. Noist (Melissa-Benoist) and so on, each one will bring companions, Renly asked Rune if she would like to attend.
Rooney nodded readily and agreed, but she still expressed her surprise. She had not expected such an invitation at all. She asked about the jazz concert; and then she learned that Renly was filming for "The Explosive Drummer" prepare.
In order to allow the actors to understand the style and context of jazz more clearly, Renly took the initiative to spend his own money to invite the creative staff to Lincoln Center to experience jazz live.——
Damien was overjoyed. In fact, he had always wanted to enjoy a jazz concert in person, but he was short of money and could never make the trip, let alone pay for the crew and creative staff. To this end, Damien wrote a special An email expressing sincere thanks to Renly.
As for Rooney, after learning about "Exploding Drummer", she couldn't help but become curious: What kind of work could make Renly burst out his desire for performance again? And after returning to work after a long vacation, what is Renly's current status?？
To be precise, Rooney's email did not receive a reply, and her questions naturally did not receive any answers until today..
The jazz concert officially started at nine o'clock in the evening, and they decided to meet in advance, have a pre-dinner aperitif at the bar, fill their bellies with a little snack, and then go to Lincoln Center to meet others.
This is also the correct process for watching a concert. Because the concert time often overlaps with the dinner time, they cannot go there with a full stomach, nor can they go hungry, so it is most appropriate to eat some snacks and desserts in advance; After the concert, there will be a formal meal.
Unexpectedly and reasonably, Renly was still practicing drums in Greenwich Village that afternoon. Rooney was not surprised at all. She also came to the rehearsal room in advance to satisfy her curiosity and have a good time. Take a look at how Renly is preparing for work now.
So, this scene appeared.
Rooney was wearing a long black evening dress, but she was sitting cross-legged on the ground in an unladylike manner. Next to her was a pair of black high-heeled shoes, watching Renly's practice with her bare feet, like a punk girl, with that sexy His unruly and stubborn temperament was fully revealed, but he couldn't help but have a childish smile on his face..
Especially when Renly said jokingly, "Really? You feel it too, don't you?"？”
This made Rooney chuckle even more, "Do you want me to comfort you, or do you want me to complain about you?" She didn't tease you covertly, but stated her thoughts directly, and revealed a rare See the valiant and heroic appearance.
Renly shrugged lightly, with a calm look on his face..
Rooney raised her eyebrows and understood immediately - it was obvious that Renly didn't care at all, "Are you serious? A month ago, you didn't know anything about drums? And in just one month, you have already reached this level. To this extent? This is really awesome! Wait, you said it to show off, right? Then the little girl couldn't help but scream.？”
Renly still smiled and cast a meaningful look, "I didn't hear the screams..”
Rooney's expression paused for a moment, then she showed a slight smile, biting her lower lip with her white teeth, "I'm not an ordinary little girl..”
“So, why are we discussing this topic? Apart from you, there are no other girls here." Renly said something again immediately, with a touch of ambiguity and teasing revealed. The temperature in the rehearsal room seemed to be quietly rising, and the eyes flickered. The exchange of emotions has a tacit understanding that belongs to them.
In the end, Rooney was defeated, lowered her eyes, interrupted the meeting of eyes, and changed the topic, "I'm serious. Although I don't know much about drum skills, I know that your level is already That's great. If you continue to improve, you won't be able to complete it in a short time. So what level are you trying to reach?？”
“Buddy Rich." Renly revealed the name without any hesitation..
Rooney did not hide her surprise and doubt at all, looking at Renly with a look of disbelief on her face, "You are crazy.？”
Any senior fan who understands jazz knows how legendary a drummer Buddy Rich is. Even in the entire history, there are only a handful of drummers of his level. Of course, everyone wants to be Buddy Rich. Dee Rich, but it took half a century for a Buddy Rich to appear.
Faced with Rooney's reaction, Renly not only did not get angry or refute, but nodded in affirmation, "Haha, you think so too? Me too..”
Renly stood up, left the drum set, walked to the backpack in the corner of the rehearsal room, found a CD, and put it into the player next to him, "Listen, this is Buddy Rich's drum beat. I mean, speed, he's really fast, but that's not all……”
Renly came to Rooney's side and sat cross-legged on the floor. He did not continue talking, but quietly began to listen to the melody flowing from the player..
Pure drum beats, no piano, no saxophone, no trumpet, no French horn, no superfluous instruments, but the rhythm of the drum beats does not appear monotonous at all, but supports every musical note extremely abundantly. This is definitely A kind of enjoyment, simple and ultimate enjoyment.
Halfway through the conversation, the sound suddenly disappeared, and both people began to listen to the music intently..
Like Renly, Rooney was also born in the upper class and received elite education since childhood. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she has formed a rich foundation for the appreciation of art works. Even if she knows nothing about drums, she can understand by analogy. Can give a general outline and context; not to mention, she is quite knowledgeable about jazz..
Buddy Rich's drum set is undoubtedly an absolute classic and it's mesmerizing.
Inadvertently, Rooney's peripheral vision caught Renly's profile..
At this time, Renly has not yet changed into formal evening clothes - to attend a jazz concert at Lincoln Center, you must wear evening clothes, otherwise the security guard at the door has the right to refuse the audience entry.——
For practice, Renly wore a light white T-shirt and jeans, simple and plain; his forehead was covered with sweat, faintly revealing a look of embarrassment. However, a look of concentration and devotion shone on his face, and in an instant It makes people ignore all the details and bloom a unique charm..
The scene in front of me is so ridiculous and funny：
One second, they were intensely discussing drum skills; the next second, they were sitting cross-legged on the floor listening to Buddy Rich's performance CD.
What's even more exaggerated is that they are about to go to Lincoln Center to enjoy a jazz concert. Renly has not changed her clothes yet, and then she is sitting in a shabby rehearsal room wearing an evening gown, as if after twelve o'clock at midnight. cinderella.
It's really an interesting thing, isn't it?？
At the same time, it's really a fascinating thing, isn't it?？
Involuntarily, the corners of Rooney's mouth rose up, forming a slight smile. She withdrew her attention and began to concentrate on listening to the drum melody again..
The performance lasted for six minutes, but the two people did not rush or talk. They just listened quietly. After the song was played, Renly stood up, walked aside, and pressed the pause button; then, the two people When we started discussing, the skills and emotions of the drumming just now, especially the control and rhythm under the high-frequency hand speed, were really mesmerizing..
“If you just convey emotions, I think you have absolutely no problem; but the problem is that the skills are too difficult, and it takes years to slowly accumulate breakthroughs. Moreover, objectively speaking, you lack talent." Rooney told the truth..
There was no cover-up, no politeness, and no embellishment. Rooney pointed out the most important fact frankly and bluntly: Renly's talent was not above the drum set. His current level and ability were basically Renly's limit..
Renly nodded in affirmation, "I didn't. But Andrew did..”
Rooney opened her mouth slightly, paused for a moment and couldn't help laughing, "I can't refute.”
Renly spread his hands, "So we always try to realize our unachievable dreams in movies." After finishing speaking, Renly paused and thought for a moment, "In this way, I suddenly feel that actors are more Like a loser, always living in an illusory dream bubble, refusing to wake up.”
Rooney also chewed carefully.
There was silence for a moment, and a quiet atmosphere slowly flowed. Finally, Renly spoke up to polish the peaceful tranquility, "If I remember correctly, we should set off now. Before officially going to Lincoln Center, I Need some extra energy.”
“Ha, you finally remembered." Rooney came back to her senses, blinked, and joked.
