137 meet by chance
“Sorry, everyone seems to have misunderstood." Renly put the keyboard aside, stood up, and apologized to the owner of the authentic street performance stall in front of him..
Ed Sheeran didn't seem to react. He looked at Renly blankly. After three beats, he exclaimed, "Renly Hall? Jesus-hell-Christ." Ed Sheeran Covering his mouth, his eyes full of disbelief, he couldn't help but take two steps back and cursed several times, but then he realized that he was a little rude and stepped forward quickly, "I really like you. The music, no, I mean, it doesn't matter, it's an honor to play with you; no, I mean, 'Cleopatra' is so beautiful, it makes me create again. motivation; no no, I mean, sorry I didn't recognize you just now……”
Eddard was already speechless, sputtering breathlessly, and then he looked at Renly breathlessly, "I look like a madman, don't I?"？”
Renly was immediately amused, "Crazy? No; neurotic? Yes." His answer made Eddard whimper in annoyance, lowered his head and began to examine himself, "You like my music? If I heard it right just now, , so should I feel proud now?？”
“Haha." Ed laughed heartily, "Of course, definitely, definitely! Not just 'Cleopatra', but also the song 'Ophelia' just now...Jesus Christ! "Ed covered his cheeks with his hands, "I am an idiot, an absolute idiot. The style and lyrics of 'Ophelia' are completely from the same faction as 'Cleopatra', but I don't have it. Listen, God, I look like a complete idiot right now! I should have recognized you earlier. I mean, I was so inspired by the lyrics to 'Cleopatra' and I was so crazy about that song... Wait, we Did we just play 'Cleopatra' together?？”
Eddard's thoughts jumped a little, and Renly nodded with a smile, "That's why I stopped, otherwise what do you think?" Eddard didn't hear the teasing tone, but was like an ant on a hot pot. Usually, he starts spinning in circles, one circle, and then another. From time to time, he raises his head to look at Renly, and then slaps his forehead hard, with a look of annoyance on his face..
“Are you going to keep going in circles here? Or are we going to take a good inventory of our income just now? "Renly pointed to the piano case that was a third full in front of him and raised his eyebrows..
“Of course, of course." Ed finally stopped. Suddenly he remembered something and stretched out his right hand, "Ed Sheeran, I'm sorry, I'm just introducing myself now..”
“Nice to meet you, Eddard." Renly shook hands in a friendly manner, "You think you are an excellent singer, this is not just a polite statement..”
This is the truth. In his last life, Renly liked Eddard's music very much. From the first album when Eddard was unknown, to the latest album that just came out when he was reborn. Eddard's albums are all very complete. Very high, mainly focusing on folk songs and pop. He is not a singer with outstanding singing skills - in fact, many of his performances were in car accidents, but his lyrics are very touching and can often inject moving emotions into the songs, easily Impress every audience.
However, Eddard thought Renly was just being polite, but even so, he couldn't help but want to scream, and finally clenched his fists to prevent himself from losing control, "God, God, God!" He simply said He couldn't believe that he was talking to Renly, and Renly praised him. What was even more incredible was that they had just finished the performance together, "Thank you, this sentence really means a lot to me.".”
Although Renly only has one song "Cleopatra", let alone being famous for a long time, he is not even an independent singer. He may only be regarded as an occasional crossover artist - after all, Renly is now He is an actor by profession, but this does not affect Eddard's love for Renly at all..
Not only the music, but also the attitude towards life hidden in the lyrics, as well as Renly's actual lifestyle, the attitude of a modern bard, is exactly what Ed is yearning for, "You remind me of Don Quixote, I That is, in terms of the meaning of praise." Ed felt that his brain was in a mess, and he could not fully state the countless thoughts he usually had..
“Haha, Don Quixote." Renly chewed carefully and said, "To be honest, I definitely think this is a compliment..”
Not in terms of music, but in terms of performance. No one thought he could do it, and everyone was on the opposite side of him, but he still embarked on this path without hesitation, just like Don who was fighting against the windmill giant alone. Like Quixote.
“Judging by your accent, shouldn't you be pursuing a music career in London? How did you end up in Los Angeles? "Renly is very sensitive to accents. He couldn't hear it in the last life, but now he can feel it. The Yorkshire flavor in Eddard's accent is still quite strong. Moreover, Renly is indeed curious, didn't Eddard rise from England? ? That song "The-A-Team" was a huge hit on the UK pop charts..
Eddard shrugged, "London, you know, the class is too strict. I stayed there for a year and gained nothing." Eddard naturally heard Renly's London accent, just as Eddard said. The entire art world in the UK is very strict. Of course there are cases of grassroots transformation into stars, especially after the advent of talent shows such as "The X Factor" and "Got Talent", but overall they are still pitiful. "So, I'm thinking of coming to Los Angeles to try my luck." Eddard cautiously pointed at Renly, "Just like you..”
Renly and Eddard came to the United States for different reasons, but there is no need to explain so much. They can be regarded as arriving at the same destination through different paths. "How about luck?？”
“Huh..." Ed took a long breath, "I've been here since April, and now I'm doing opening shows in various bars, but... I'm still looking for my own opportunities..”
Although he didn't mention much, Renly could feel the helplessness in his words, which reminded him of the independent artists in the pioneer village. "If you have time, you are welcome to come to New York." Renly searched his pockets. , then he realized that he had brought nothing with him to attend the award ceremony, only six dollars and one cent left - change from the burger he had just bought, not to mention his business card, "Pioneer Village, in Greene Witch Village, where I worked, there was a show every night……”
“Yes, I know where it is." Eddard answered. Sensing Renly's questioning gaze, he quickly explained, "I watched the videos on your YouTube and did some research." This is also his favorite blue. One of the important reasons for the etiquette was to strip away the commercial attributes and simply sing in the pioneer villages. The unruly, arrogant, and freedom hidden in the blood complemented the lyrics of "Cleopatra" and were completely expressed in Ed An image of Renly formed in his mind - the image he admired.
What Ed didn't say was that he had always wanted to visit the Pioneer Village, not only because of Renly, but also because it was indeed the stage that countless independent singer-songwriters longed for. However, he was short of money and did not have enough funds at all. Send him across the country to New York.
“You are welcome to come to Pioneer Village at any time, uh...I will go back probably in late September." Renly originally wanted to say that he would go back tomorrow, but then he thought of the Toronto Film Festival and Telluride. Film Festival, so he changed his mind, "After that, if nothing else happens, I should be there.”
Ed wanted to stay calm, but his big smile revealed his true inner emotions, "Okay, I mean, okay, perfect, absolutely, sure." Before he could talk any further, Ed quickly moved away. brought up the topic, "We should take stock of tonight's harvest. I'm not sure I said it, but it was an honor to play with you tonight.".”
“The honor is mine." Renly said sincerely..
But I couldn't help complaining in my heart. Sure enough, it was Los Angeles. A brick could smash two stars - or maybe future stars. As the entertainment center of the world, everyone with dreams was heading towards this place like a wave. The city is swarming in, and you can feel the atmosphere of embracing the "star dream" - or the "American dream" surging in the streets and alleys. Impetuous, naked, direct, and unabashed.
In comparison, Renly still prefers New York..
“Renly? "A call sounded timidly. Renly raised his head and looked over. Standing in front of him were three young people who looked like high school students. He recognized these faces - they had just appeared in the dancing crowd. middle.
Before Renly could ask, the two boys pulled out the banners in their hands, and it read clearly, "Renly Hall, the best actor in my mind."！”
Caught off guard, Renly was stunned. Although many people could recognize him now and even call him by name; even though he had won the Emmy Award tonight, proving that he had won the Opened the door to Hollywood; although from "Pacific War" to "Buried Alive", it has been more than a year since he truly became an actor... But today, tonight, at this moment, this is the first time that he has truly seen himself. Movie fans, fans who support themselves.
That feeling of reality mixed with falsehood hit his heart hard. He opened his mouth, but found that the words were horribly pale, even more turbulent than when Tina Fey announced the winner, and all the sounds were like this stuck in throat.
“Renly, your performance in the series was truly outstanding! You are a born actor! Not only because you gave a wonderful performance, but also because of the hard work you put in to study performance. I really like you! No, to be precise, I really admire you so much! Please keep at it, okay?？”
Hope found that the draft she had prepared in her mind was of no use at this time. She looked through "Vanity Fair" and saw that actors such as Rami and James were full of praise for Renly and mentioned the hardships during the filming process. and difficulties, this is what really convinced her to become a movie fan. She wrote a special manuscript and recorded all the words she wanted to express in her heart, but tonight, she couldn't remember any of it..
“Renly! You were born to be an actor! "Hope shouted loudly, his slightly trembling voice revealing his inner excitement..
