2015 silent
The clear and translucent piano keys are rushing through the gurgling mountain streams like cold spring water, the melodious violin strings are like the sparse morning light, penetrating through the layers of woods and spreading all over the ground, and the rich and moving cello strings are like a cold and dense fog. The dense jungle is surging and rolling, and the cheerful and happy melody makes gold, green and red intertwined with each other, slowly unfolding in front of you like a dream, and the corners of your mouth are slightly raised..
“Arthur, you tuned it down half a tune." Edith couldn't help complaining..
Arthur pulled the bowstring intently without raising his eyes, "I didn't flatten it, Edith."！”
“I think you've surrendered." Edith said persistently..
Arthur simply stopped and glared at Edith, "You are responsible for playing the violin, then take care of your own part, and leave the cello part to me, okay?"？”
Edith rolled her eyes, "Only if you can take care of it.".”
This time, Arthur did not continue to refute. Both of them fell silent, concentrating on pulling the strings, but their peripheral vision was cast in the direction of Renly, and there was a faint uneasiness in the depths of their eyes - although They themselves knew that there was no need to look at Renly's eyes, but the memories of their childhood still came back to their bodies..
“Arthur, you stole an eighth of a beat; Edith, you raised a half a beat..”
Renly's voice came. Arthur and Edith both nodded and began to adjust their playing. Because they had not touched the instrument for many years, they were inevitably a little rusty, and the rhythm and intonation were not accurate..
The interesting part is here, if it is Renly's opinion, they will take it for granted that it is correct; but if it is Arthur and Edith's opinion - or even Elf's opinion, their first reaction is is to give a rebuttal. Gradually, this seems to have become a physical habit and thinking formula..
Because when he was learning musical instruments as a child, and when rehearsing ensembles, Renly was always right, in terms of pitch, rhythm, tone, timbre, etc. It's not that Renly can't make mistakes, but that he is always right. He is able to realize where the mistakes are and make corrections in time. His understanding and expressiveness have been recognized by the tutor time and time again. This has become a kind of inertia. They are all used to it, including Elf. Using Renly as the standard.
This is a sense of music that is innate and can be cultivated or improved the day after tomorrow. However, if you lack talent, it will take ten or even a hundred times of effort to make up for it. Even if most people work harder, they will work harder. It cannot be cultivated the day after tomorrow. The gap in talent is fatal..
When he was filming "Breaking Drummer", Fletcher could capture even the tiny difference of one sixteenth of a beat, whether it was faster or slower, he could not escape his ears, and the scene between Fletcher and Andrew was The explosive scene with a deviated rhythm left a deep impression on all the staff on the set..
There is a small detail in it: how does Renly achieve the effect of "faster and slower"?？
Everyone, including Damien Chazelle, thought that Renly didn't do it, and everything was done through post-dubbing. Only a truly professional drummer can do this perfectly, no matter how fast or slow it is. The details of one sixteenth beat can be achieved; the fact is that Renly can really do it. Although he cannot hit the ultra-high frequency of four hundred hits, his mastery of rhythm is innate. He relied on his own ability to complete that scene, truly interpreting the saying "You can't live without going crazy".
This is also the case now.
Both Arthur and Edith subconsciously used Renly as a standard and completed the adjustment..
This made the corners of Renly's mouth slightly raise, "Relax, just relax. We don't have an ensemble performance to do next, so there's no need to be too nervous..”
Arthur and Edith both rolled their eyes and protested to Renly in this way.
“Edith, 'Nearer-My-God-To-Thee'." After the song was played, Renly's voice came from the side, and then the piano stopped..
Edith noticed that both Renly and Arthur were looking towards her. She paused for a moment, then tilted her head, "Renly, you know, I always catch the tone of the first paragraph." No, it’s better to do it like the same, with your piano cutting in？”
This made Renly burst into laughter, "Although we have all grown up, some things still haven't changed, right?？”
“"God is with us" is not a classical symphony, but a poem, composed in 1840, from an English lady named Sarah-Adams, who was a stage actress An actress, a music composer, a poet, and a writer, at the age of thirty-five she composed this poem inspired by the Book of Genesis, which was not widely circulated at the time..
It was not until 1856, eight years after Sarah's death, that Lowell-Mason completed the composition and evolved it into a string quartet. It was sung and then spread to the United States. In September 1901, the then US President William McKinley (Wiiliam-McKinley) was assassinated. Because he loved this song very much during his lifetime, it was performed as the soundtrack for the state funeral, further spreading it. known to the general public.
According to the memoirs of Titanic survivors, on April 10, 1913, the so-called unsinkable Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. Before the ship was destroyed, the band members who played for the VIP restaurant still stayed on the deck, playing I sang this song "God is with us", hoping to bring a little peace and comfort to everyone, but in the end, the cruise ship was destroyed, and more than 1,500 people died in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean..
1997When James Cameron filmed "Titanic" in 2016, he vividly restored this scene, which also made "God is with us" more widely known..
In fact, before "Titanic" was released, the Hall family had played this piece many times - the original piece was a string quartet with two violins and two cellos, and the four siblings made a slight arrangement. The four musical instruments are combined into different styles, and the piano is the main melody, giving the movement a more gentle and delicate texture..
More than ten years have passed, and it seems that not much has changed..
Looking away, Renly's fingertips fell on the black and white keys. The soft and cold music notes were gurgling, like a sleeping angel slowly spreading its wings. The holy light fell down, filling the whole room, making people feel I can't help but close my eyes and let myself wander in it.
Just like an early autumn afternoon, the high and far sky outside the window is glowing with a light blue, and the sparse sunlight is flowing through the flying maple leaves. The soft light falls on the surface of the skin, slightly tingling and burning, and dense. A large halo of light blurs all the scenery, outlines an unreal outline, and makes people gradually lose their mind like a mirage, and then blurs the boundary between reality and illusion..
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor next to the balcony, he took out all the books on the bookshelf and placed them messily in every corner of his sight. The faint fragrance of books was surging in the air, and it seemed that even the dust had become Be smart, then turn on the gramophone and play a vinyl record. Those melodious melodies will wrap yourself in the happiness of doing nothing. You can hide in the corner and be lazy, doing what you like, and spend a whole afternoon like this. Happiness It seems a little unreal, but it becomes sad as time passes slowly..
The happier you are, the more reluctant you are to let go; the happier you are, the sadder you are, as if you are reluctant to let go even every minute and second..
Unable to help it, Edith's eyes became slightly warm. She didn't dare to look at Renly. His face was slightly pale due to illness, and the skin reflected in the sun was slightly transparent, as if it might disappear at any time. In the air, everything was unreal. She wanted to reach out and touch Renly, but she was afraid that she would pass through the shadow and wake up from the dream, and she would never see Renly again..
As soon as such an idea came to her mind, Edith couldn't help but panic..
Everyone saw Renly's glory and success, but never saw Renly's fragility and fatigue.——
Despite being ill and persisting in publicity in Shanghai, he encountered such a storm. Admittedly, a mere cold seems to be nothing at all. For public figures who live in the spotlight, this is the basic professional ethics. They enjoy the starlight and Attention, they enjoy super high income and super treatment, they should at least repay the support of movie fans, right? But who can truly understand the pressure on the shoulders of public figures?？
If there was an accident at Pudong Airport, would Renly remain indifferent?？
If there was a car accident on the highway, Renly might be involved too.
If the hotel's false alarm really triggers bad consequences, Renly will also be the target of a lot of criticism..
Praise and criticism, glory and burden, support and opposition... these are all two sides of a public figure. Renly also knows all of this clearly. He has always given back to the society responsibly, but he is also an ordinary person. He also has his own troubles and limits, and he also has his own emotions and problems. Occasionally, just very occasionally, he also wants to be vulnerable for a moment, find someone to rely on, and then relieve all the burdens..
Renly never complained or vented. He just endured it all silently, because this was the path he chose. Even if he was on his knees, he would persist to the end; he just needed a little breathing time and space now, Just a little bit, let him be secretly vulnerable for a moment.
Edith looked away in panic, closed her eyes, and stopped the tears from falling in time. Then she pulled the bow string and joined Renly. The melodious and graceful melody began to fly wantonly, and then the sound of Arthur's cello strings also Join in, let the tired and trapped souls find a place to rest for a while, and take off all their armor in loneliness and loneliness.
