1599 Sweet as a jelly
From the kerosene lamp bar of "Drunk Country Folk" to Madison Square Garden in the real world, the song "Hang me, hang me" builds a bridge between two time and space, allowing thoughts to follow the flow of light and shadow. Walking freely, in a trance, it seems that I have really returned to the kerosene lamp bar in the 1960s, and I am in the scene at the beginning of the movie "Drunken Country Folk".
“If a song is never new but never out of date, then it is a ballad..”
That’s because folk songs always tell the flowing poetry and sorrow. Different from rural stories and jazz bourgeoisie, folk songs are like wandering poets, recording suffering in the midst of wandering. It seems that the melody is always similar. , but the real difference comes from the singer’s interpretation and annotation. The same song can taste different pains..
The filming of "The Ballad of Drunkenness" was only a year ago, but a lot has been experienced in the past twelve months. After all, Renly is no longer the Renly he was before. There is a change in his singing. It tells the story of relief and calmness, with a hint of chicness and uninhibitedness added to the sadness, as if it is slowly telling the subsequent story of LeVeon Davis after the end of the movie..
However, not everyone can understand the emotion behind the singing and melody. Only the audience who truly understands the movie "The Ballad of Drunken Country", only the audience who really calms down and listens attentively, can only truly understand Renly's singing. Only with an audience can we understand those passing years, just like the album "Don Quixote". Otherwise, it is just a slightly pleasant performance in front of us, and we cannot feel anything special at all..
This is also the most amazing place: the exclusive password between Don Quixote, which only they can understand.
After the song was sung, a faint feeling of nostalgia spread in Madison Square Garden. The comfort and enjoyment rolled in the chest, making people unable to extricate themselves. They couldn't help but want to wander around and let themselves go. Just lost in the tunnel of time and space, looking for the footprints of LeVeon Davis.
William Taylor finally came to his senses, with a bright smile on his face, and then he applauded towards the stage, and even whistled playfully, as if he was really in a kerosene lamp bar. The casual and playful way of cheering on the street makes the folk bar more friendly and casual..
At this point, Madison Square Garden finally wakes up.
The unexpected opening, the moving performance, the strange rhythm...all these unusual ways to open the concert reenacted the beginning of the "Drunk Country Folk" movie, leaving the audience in a moment of shock and confusion. Reasonably, it led everyone back to the 1960s. The passage of time was so gentle and touching. All the irritability and excitement gradually calmed down, and then they were immersed in the performance and couldn't extricate themselves..
until now.
After regaining consciousness, cheers and cheers gradually began to burst out. When the voice broke free from the shackles of the throat, the excitement and excitement came to life again, and then the screams became one, majestic. The entire Madison Square Garden was in turmoil.
“Ahhhhh！”
“Ahhhhh！”
The fanatical screams and roars echoed endlessly, and began to climb up step by step, as if all the emotions that had just been suppressed were being released exponentially, thundering, and even the wooden floor of the stage You can feel the slight vibration.
The impact of the layers of sound waves can be clearly felt above the eardrums, like a continuous drumbeat, and even the blood begins to boil. This is the beauty of live performance, like a dramatic stage, breaking the shackles of the screen , the performers and the audience look at each other face to face, fully presenting the artistic tension of the performance, completing the mutual transmission without any hindrance, allowing both parties to be deeply immersed in it.
The entire Madison Square Garden was in a sensation, spreading from inside to outside. The spectators who had been waiting outside the stadium finally felt the craze again. They were even happier and crazier than the audience inside the stadium, jumping up and down one by one. Use your whole body to express your joy and excitement.
That sound wave joined the audience in the venue without any hindrance, stirring up an even more turbulent storm..
Holding the guitar in his arms, he sat quietly in the middle of the stage, and the corners of Renly's mouth turned up..
Just days ago, he was filming "Interstellar" in Iceland”.
The filming this time was always relaxed and enjoyable, and more importantly, all the main difficult parts were completed in the Los Angeles studio - because special shooting scenes needed to be built, the scenes in Calgary and Iceland were relatively simple, but really hard work Part of the performance is a struggle with nature's weather, light, temperature, etc., rather than the performance itself. For Renly, it can be said that he is able to cope with it freely and enjoy it..
After finishing filming in Iceland, the crew took a ten-day holiday: partly because of the Christmas holiday, and partly to prepare for the shooting in Los Angeles. So Renly returned to New York and joined the performance of "Dreaming Back to the Kerosene Lamp Bar" The stage returns to the world of Le’Veon Davis again.
As the outside world said, this concert was just a joke by the crew, but the main actors, including Renly, all expressed that if it was really held as scheduled, they would be very willing to attend; later, Sony Classics really paid All actions were taken, and all the actors responded positively——
Not to mention Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, Renly Hall and other people with busy schedules, even Stark Sanders and others who are busy on Broadway also have full schedules, but every actor They all actively stated that they must be there on December 27th. No matter how busy their schedules are, they will do their best to promote this matter..
Tonight, everyone is here.
It can also be seen from the side that the friendly atmosphere during the filming of "Drunken Folklore" and the good friendship established between the actors.
After two years, I stepped on the concert stage again. I quietly watched the noisy and boiling craze in front of me, and the emotions surging in my chest were slightly mixed..
From the past to the present, performance has always been his source of motivation. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the performance and swam around in the performance world regardless of his own safety. Even though he was bruised and bruised, even if he stumbled, even if he was in pain, he still enjoyed it, even if he suffered many injuries. Scars are medals of memory.
But unknowingly, a group of friends walked side by side with him. They always supported his choices unconditionally, cheered for him unconditionally, and followed his dreams unconditionally. On this road of self-pursuit and self-breakthrough, they have become the best companions..
Leaving the closed state of the crew and standing on the stage again, I once again felt the heat and madness of the wave of support, and my inner feelings quietly spread..
He is realizing his dream, and they are cheering for his dream. Just like Heather Cross. Although his parents cannot understand and refuse to support, he has more and more supporters and Fellow travelers, on the road to a second life, they are not alone after all..
In a daze, Renly saw Heather again. She was standing among the crowd, with a bright smile, waving her hands, and then started dancing to the rhythm. The ivory white skirt was blooming like a flower. You can even hear the silver bell-like laughter echoing.
Involuntarily, I recalled that melody again in my mind：
At the filming site of "Breaking Drummer", in the last four-hundred-blow scene, his performance finally achieved a breakthrough and new life. After going through many difficulties and obstacles, he successfully entered a new realm of performance. His past efforts and persistence were like A marquee was running through his head, and on the spot, he composed half of the song "Bullet"”——
Integrate your own life into the performance, just like being shot, even if you are bruised and bruised, you have no regrets.
Tonight, the melody begins to play again and the meaning of life shines on this stage. In addition to the performance, there are companions, walking with you all the way..
In fact, that melody is more suitable for rock arrangements, because the drum beats and the bass bass are the focus of the whole song. But now, relying only on a guitar in his hand, he is still inspired. Maybe, he can try and see.
“Welcome to the Kerosene Lamp Bar.”
After the applause and cheers gradually subsided, Renly smiled into the microphone and said.
“In fact, we had some arguments about tonight's opening performance. I always thought that we should recommend performers who are not very popular to warm up the show. But in the end, everyone was unwilling to admit that their popularity was not very high, so Yi Sang and Joel pushed me out without any sense of loyalty. I guess I really don’t have enough confidence on this stage..”
Renly's tone was relaxed, joking and humorous, as if he were really sitting in a tavern. However, the low laughter of the 20,000 fans in the audience was like rolling thunder, and the venue was different. It suddenly appeared, but it created an absurd sense of joy, making the laughter even more cheerful..
“But I insist that we are just presenting this performance in the way of "drunk country folk songs". The opening and the ending are all me. It is definitely not because of popularity..”
Renly emphasized seriously, which caused many whistles and boos to be heard on the scene..
“I guess I'm still a bit popular." Renly raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, making everyone laugh again, "The next song was originally meant to be performed by another song, but standing on this stage Above, I had some inspiration. Not long ago, when I was filming another work, I composed half of the track, but then I never got any inspiration. But tonight, standing on this stage again, Feeling this craze again, I want to try it.”
“Don't get your hopes up too much, after all, it's a ballad, you know, if a song……”
Before Renly could finish his words, the entire audience started shouting in unison.：
“Never new, but never outdated either”.
