1604 belated encore
“Renly, you know this is your moment.”
Justin Timberlake looked at Renly Hall standing in front of him with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity and sincerity, and there was no need for too many words. The deafening sound throughout Madison Square Garden was the best evidence, as if The waterfalls continue to surge from all directions like a roar..
To be honest, Justin is a little jealous.
As a part-time actor whose job is to be a singer, Justin knows better than anyone how rare and crazy it is to receive such a thunderous encore. Even the singer’s solo concert has gathered his die-hard fans. , you may not be able to enjoy such treatment; let alone a temporary platter concert, and it is free..
This is really incredible.
At first, when he first joined the crew of "The Ballad of Drunken Country", Justin had more or less ulterior motives deep down in his heart, trying to prove that he was the biggest and most popular one in the entire crew; but this idea soon changed. I cut it off, because there is no comparison between the two people. Renly's professionalism and dedication are absolutely unparalleled..
More importantly, Renly didn't care at all about his secret rivalry, which made his deliberateness and care suddenly become ridiculous. The frustration was indescribable, and he could only comfort himself.：
That's the crew, that's Renly's territory, that's an away game, and he needs to return to his home court - when he stands on the stage, the situation will naturally be completely different. His acting skills have been accumulated over the past 20 years since his debut. It must not be underestimated. He can easily control the entire field and firmly hold the advantage in his own hands. He is so confident.！
Tonight, Justin changed his mind again.
It's not that his performance isn't outstanding enough, or that his control isn't perfect enough, or that his popularity isn't top-notch; it's just that when Renly stands on the stage, he seems destined to become the center of attention, with that unique temperament that has settled down Giving Renly's every performance a unique flavor, Justin, as a professional, naturally understands it better.
Now, the show is over, but the audience is still calling for Renly to appear..
Of course, Justin can comfort himself. This is just a difference in popularity. The box office of "Gravity" is setting records at the box office, and Renly's appeal is naturally extraordinary; but Justin is unwilling to deceive himself, and frankly admits the excellence of others. An important step in self-improvement.
What's more, there is no battle between winning and losing in stage performances, right?？
It's not that he is making excuses for his surrender, but that Justin finally understands Renly's feelings now. In the "Drunk Country Ballad" crew, Renly showed a state of being indifferent to the world and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the world of performance. , not because he doesn’t care about winning or losing, but because there is no such thing as winning or losing in the art field.——
When an artist starts to care about winning or losing, he is the loser.
Justin looked at Renly sincerely and said again, "You must go on stage, otherwise I strongly doubt that the audience will tear the stage down directly.".”
The ridiculing words made Renly laugh. He could vaguely feel that Justin had undergone some changes, which could not be accurately described in words. After all, they were not familiar with each other, and many emotional details could not be described in detail; but the changes were indeed It exists, and that's a good thing.
“Sorry, I need to go out to greet my cheers." Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and said seriously, and then you could hear everyone laughing..
If Renly hadn't said this, everyone would have been a little strange. Just like the West End theater stage in London, shouldn't the entire cast take the stage together at the final curtain call? Only when the entire crew stands on the stage can the protagonists step forward to receive cheers.
But now that Renly said it in a lighthearted and joking way, that little bit of wonder was gone..
Renly turned around and walked onto the stage again.
Similarly, there were no special special effects for his appearance. Renly just appeared in front of the audience again, standing under the bright spotlight; but Renly did not sit down anxiously, but closed his eyes. Quietly listening to the sound, it was like a drumstick hitting the chest, and then the heart began to hit powerfully, once, and again.
“Encore! Encore! Encore！”
Thunderous sounds rushed over one after another, because they were so fierce and so hot that they were almost unsteady on their feet. Then the muscles all over the body tensed up subconsciously, standing firmly on the spot, raising their heads straight. Chest up and head high to face this encore storm.
So noisy, yet so peaceful.
In the storm, Renly caught a trace of his own peace, and the whole world became quiet. He could even catch the rhythm of the sound waves and the heartbeat, hitting his chest hard and hard, and then he started again Becoming Le’Veon Davis, standing on the stage, finding the direction and motivation to move forward.——
It's not the shouts, but the enthusiasm and determination hidden behind the shouts. Once, LeVine's partner Michael also had this enthusiasm and persistence, but it was eventually lost on the long road; now, LeVine feels it again When it reaches Michael's weight and temperature above the heart, life becomes bearable.
Renly thought of Rooney Mara.
Before the concert, Rooney sent a text message that read, "So we have arrived, a lonely place from which we can't go back. But now in this lonely land, you are no longer alone.".”
Tonight, Rooney is sitting in Madison Square Garden, becoming an ordinary member of the audience of 20,000, just like the concert two years ago, quietly enjoying the concert with the audience's mentality It will be wonderful and touching. With the mentality of Don Quixote, he will follow Renly into the lonely place where he can't return, and he willfully indulge himself for the sake of his dream..
She always knew.
Renly stood there for a long time. At this moment, Rooney's text message appeared in his mind again. In this vast and cold lonely land, there was no way back and no way forward. , but now more and more people are gathering, chasing an illusory fantasy like Don Quixote, deviantly like madmen.
Such a scene is really too beautiful and moving, making people intoxicated..
Gradually, gradually, the sound of the encore finally calmed down, but the billowing heat wave was still surging in the air. The whole place was dark, and only the spotlight in the center of the stage was left, shrouding Renly's figure alone. , the boundless darkness gives people the illusion that "he is the only one left in the world".
Justin, Ed and others also came to the side stage again, quietly enjoying Renly's encore performance..
Renly finally sat down, picked up his guitar, and slightly retracted his chin. The bright light passed through the messy hair and thick eyelashes, catching the slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and the world became brighter..
“Just backstage, Justin, Ed, and I were chatting. Maybe we can jointly hold a music festival, provide a stage, and invite folk singers from all over the world to perform on stage. This is not an easy task, and more importantly, We're not sure how many viewers are willing to come.”
Renly was serious, they were discussing this backstage earlier..
“But when Robert Redford founded the Sundance Film Festival, he didn't know that Sundance could become a mecca for independent films in the United States. He just insisted on a belief and then did it. What if it failed? Then he failed. At least he tried his best for his dream..”
“Can you also try the folk music festival? I think, maybe we still need to have a little hope and a little confidence after all, even if it is an unrealistic idea, otherwise, everything in life can be foreseen, how boring and boring it will be, what do you think?？”
Renly just sat on the chair and spoke quietly, with a faint smile in his voice. You could hear his lightness and joy, and the corners of every audience member's mouth could not help but rise..
“But... they said they would give this task to me, and I protested strongly. God knows what a clumsy guy I am, lazy and forgetful. I am definitely not suitable for such an organizational activity. My fans know this all too well. , I haven’t seen any trace of my second album yet..”
Renly's self-complaint made the whole audience burst into laughter..
After a moment of pause, Renly's smile became brighter, and his lowered eyes hid his emotions in the shadows, "Besides, I still owe someone an encore until now..”
someone.
Could it be……
Renly twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, trying to say something more, but found that thousands of words became pale and powerless. It seemed that words could not express the true thoughts in his heart, let alone all his thoughts..
Two years ago, on this very stage, she was looking forward to and waiting for an encore - an encore that was exclusively for her, but he refused to honor it because he wanted her to stand on the stage in person, Complete this encore and realize this dream; unfortunately, she failed to fulfill her promise.
Later, standing on the Grammy stage, he completed the encore, but she would never hear it again; the Grammy stage was not Madison Square Garden after all, and he thought he would never have the chance to stand here again, But I didn’t expect that after going round and round, I would finally get the opportunity, even though two years passed so quickly..
Time flies, and now he is finally ready. He is going to complete this encore tonight. He is two years late for the encore, but he still hopes to bring a final conclusion to the concert that belongs to only one person..
