135 Ophelia
Hope stepped lightly, like a cat, for fear of disturbing Renly in front of him, then stood next to the guitar case, took out a ten dollar bill from his pocket, threw it into the case, and then put his hands obediently With his back behind his back, he nervously and anxiously set his sights on Renly again, but he was a little shy and did not dare to look directly into Renly's eyes. He only dared to secretly look at the broad and slender palms with clear joints..
Suddenly, he caught Renly's smile out of the corner of his eyes. He raised his head and looked into Renly's bright eyes. His smile was gently rippling like a bright moon. His heart suddenly jumped. Stopped beating, Hope avoided his eyes in panic, and even stopped breathing..
“Ha." A chuckle leaked out. Hope took a peek, and then saw the smile in Renly's eyes extending to the corners of his mouth, and his soft lips outlined a wanton arc, and the world became brighter..
The melody suddenly stopped, and William and Graham stopped, looked at Renly, then at Hope, then saw the golden trophy in the piano case, and finally looked at Renly again. , their eyes were full of disbelief, they couldn’t even tell whether this was a dream or reality..
“It seems that we have some onlookers." Ed-Sheeran bent down to express his gratitude to everyone, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you for your accompaniment for this song just now, then it will be your turn next. You showed off your skills, how about it? Do you have any ideas?？”
Renly did have many songs in his mind, but none of them seemed suitable for the atmosphere tonight. Suddenly, the face of the girl in the dining car flashed in his mind, Ophelia. He remembered this name because it was written by William Shakespeare. The name of the heroine in the most famous tragedy "Hamlet". It seems that the girl's parents must like Shakespeare very much..
Tonight's liveliness, tonight's splendor, tonight's wantonness, tonight's confusion, tonight's touching, tonight's no regrets... Everything is turned into a melody, gently dancing on the fingertips .Renly raised his head, "Do you have any tambourine bells?"？”
Ed bent down, rummaged around, and took out a colorful handbell, "Can the African tribal model be okay?"？”
Renly showed a big smile, "No problem. Come on, give me a rhythm.！”
Ed was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions, "Of course." They didn't exchange names or even have any communication, but there was a tacit understanding between them that was established through music, and then he started to beat the tambourine bells in his hands. I randomly found a rhythm, and then a voice came from next to me, "Very good, just keep this rhythm and follow my keyboard sound."！”
Bang! Bang！
The neat and steady tambourine bells were like military steps, powerful and vigorous, and the passionate excitement overflowed from the relaxed and relaxed beat. William couldn't help but follow the rhythm, Cater to the rhythm of your palms.
“very good! "Renly showed a big smile and affirmed, which encouraged William, and the applause became louder and louder. Seeing this, Graham and Hope quickly joined in the rhythm beating, which made Renly's eyes clear. He flashed a look of satisfaction, nodded repeatedly, and simply raised his hands high, "Is there anyone else? Everyone come together！”
At this time, the people watching in the nearby bar finally couldn't bear it any longer. Four or five people came out one after another. Someone raised their voice and asked, "Man, what are you doing?"？”
Ed simply stepped out, raised the tambourine bells in his hands high, beat them hard, and shouted, "Everyone follow the beat."！”
Bang! Bang! Bang！
The uniform rhythm actually gained momentum. Even without any melody, it still made people feel a little excited. At this moment, the keyboard sound in Renly's hand hit hard. A simple sound, just It was just the beginning of the tune, and Renly began to sing, "Ah, ah, when I was young……”
That warm voice has a hint of imperceptible hoarseness, fermented under the neon lights, and gently teases the heartstrings..
“I, I, should be wiser; but, I don't feel any regret, and you no longer have your original expectations." The keyboard sound didn't seem to have much waves, but it burst out with a rising momentum in the beat. Involuntarily, Ed's rhythm sped up slightly by half a beat, and the excitement of the blood flowing faster stirred in the air..
Suddenly, the keyboard rhythm under Renly's fingertips picked up speed, and the melody flowed down like the tinkling of spring water. His long fingers were dazzling, and in just one beat of eight, emotions suddenly burst out. , and then it stopped abruptly. It was so beautiful that it was difficult to express it in words..
Eddard didn't even have time to react. It was over in eight beats. He looked at Renly with dumbfounded eyes, and then Renly burst into laughter. Eddard couldn't help but smile. He gave Renly a look and said, "Now I Be prepared and you won’t be in a hurry next time.”
“I, I, am looking for a new love here, he, he, seems to be standing on top of the world; but, I cannot feel the slightest regret, and you are not willing to blame me.”
The wonderful lyrics make people scratch their heads, but they make people taste the differences carefully, just like...just like Shakespeare's poetry. This naturally reminds people of "Cleopatra", a unified style. lineage.
In those simple words, you can feel a touch of sadness and regret. He hurt her badly, and he knew it was wrong, but he refused to repent; she was hurt badly, and she knew that he had It no longer belonged to her, but she did not rebuke. In love, the person who gives is always fragile. He puts down himself, his defenses, and his weapons. As long as the other person is willing, he can hurt himself completely, and she, Still no regrets.
Tragic and poignant, as grand as an epic.
The key sounds began to become rich and heavy, and Renly's song spread its wings and flew freely, "Oh, Ophelia, you have been lingering in my mind since the beginning of the century; Oh, Ophelia, you are God made a fool like me fall in love.”
That moving voice and those simple lyrics caught Hope's heart off guard. Ophelia, the Ophelia in "Hamlet", the innocent, kind, innocent and romantic Ophelia Ya, that Ophelia who risked her own life for love...that heartbreaking and more desirable Ophelia.
Even though Hamlet went "crazy" because of his father's death and mother's remarriage, and cursed Ophelia, she really thought that Hamlet was acting like this just because he was crazy, and she felt sad and regretful; but Hamlet did not expect it at all. , his venting will cause this girl grief and even despair.
Blinded by hatred, Hamlet killed Ophelia's father. After learning the news, he could not bear such a blow, and Ophelia chose to end her life..
His vision was instantly filled with tears. In Renly's tearful singing, was it the regret and regret from Hamlet? Is that a sincere confession from Hamlet?？
The rushing melody was like the waves of the piano keys, and the rushing melody vented the inner entanglement, melancholy, regret, and pain heartily. Ed did not speed up his drumming, but naturally stopped the drumming and stood there, Quietly looking at Renly who was immersed in the melody, an eight-beat melody was as clear as spring water and as translucent as moonlight, with a touch of sadness in the extremely cheerful rhythm, making people shed tears..
This time, it didn’t stop abruptly. The singing completely burst out along with the brisk and lively rhythm, gradually climbing upwards, and all the emotions burst out at this moment..
“But, I have nothing, you have a lofty dream, and you are about to set sail; but, my soul is numb, your soul is so noble.”
The hoarse voice drew a graceful arc under the extreme high pitch, like lightning sliding across the night sky. In an instant, the whole world became translucent, and the ups and downs of emotions were completely out of control in the rushing melody..
He is so small, pursuing his so-called justice and his so-called dream, but he does not hesitate to hurt a noble soul, and at the cost of blood on his hands, he successfully reaches the other side of revenge, but is it really worth it? What did he miss and what did he lose?？
Is this talking about Hamlet and Ophelia, or Hollywood trophies and dreams?？
How many people have lost themselves in the pursuit of their dreams, even turning their dreams into bargaining chips, just to achieve supreme glory. But when success really comes, they begin to feel lost and unable to find their dreams, freedom, or freedom. to my former self.
Everything is so ironic. The grand occasion of the Emmy Awards is just around the corner, and the shining golden trophy is still in the guitar case; but now he is sitting on the street singing loudly, like a bard, more like a wanderer. Han Hamlet missed his Ophelia, so what needs to be sacrificed to reach the top in Hollywood?？
The extremely loud voice, the extremely cheerful melody, the extremely sad lyrics, the extremely lonely musical notes... suddenly calmed down, all the complexity returned to simplicity, and there was a hint of hoarseness deep in Renly's voice. , humming softly to，
“‘Honey, I love you', those were her last words.”
The warm tears burst completely like this, and it was not even clear whether they were crying for Ophelia or feeling sorry for Hamlet..
As a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, "Hamlet" has been analyzed from countless angles, but everyone agrees that Hamlet died for justice after all. He died a great death, which is lamentable and regretful, but also admirable. But now, Blue The song of the ceremony tells another story, a story belonging to Ophelia..
Hamlet missed it, and he still missed it after all. Just like Cleopatra.
The rhythm sounded again, and the melody started from the beginning again, from soothing to climax, from lonely to cheerful, Renly's singing voice was humming repeatedly, "Oh, Ophelia, you linger in my mind, like a drug addiction; Oh, Ophelia, it is God who makes a fool like me fall in love. Oh, Ophelia, you have been in my mind since the beginning of the century; Oh, Ophelia, it is God who makes a fool like me fall in love. fall in love.”
Happiness and sadness suddenly embraced each other.
