2493 Not to be missed
“No one can say no to Renly！”
There was an explosion of enthusiastic and impassioned shouts in unison, and then all the young people burst into laughter. The hearty laughter surged in their ears, leaving Gavin stunned and unable to keep up. From spirit to This is true on all levels of the body.
what should he do？
“Hey, how about it, do you want to come along?？”
The call from directly in front of him sounded. Gavin came to his senses and raised his head. He could feel the surging youthful vitality rushing towards his face, just like a ray of sunshine creating a spotlight effect and pointing directly at him, warming him. The excitement jumped lightly on the surface of the skin, and even Gavin's steps couldn't help but become brisk. He was now 100% sure that if he had not come to Indio, he would definitely regret it..
thank god he came to the scene.
“Coming! Gavin replied, and then quickly chased after him. Along the way, warm greetings could be heard. Less than fifteen minutes after arriving at the scene, Gavin had already deeply felt the difference of the music festival. My heart, which was beating violently, started to tremble slightly..
No one wants to miss the Pioneer Village Music Festival.
Putting aside the title of "New Generation Woodstock" for the time being, they missed "One Man's Concert" and "Dream Back to the Kerosene Lamp Bar". If they miss the Pioneer Village Music Festival again, then they may never Land and Renly are no longer together - after all, Renly's live performances are too few.
Don Quixotes in every corner of the world, and lonely people in spiritual corners who still believe in "Don Quixote", all mobilized and couldn't wait to go to Indio, even before the music festival officially released tickets. , they have already started asking for leave, booking accommodation, and arranging itineraries, not because they are sure they can buy tickets, but because they are sure they will never miss this opportunity regardless of whether they have tickets or not..
Never miss it！
This is the case for Hope Baez. She had already asked for leave three months ago, and then counted the days on her fingers, looking forward to the arrival of this day day and night - of course, the same is true for Charlie Bowen , originally didn’t have much interest in the music festival, but was infected by Hope’s enthusiasm, and started to look forward to it.
And William Taylor and Graham Hughes, and Chanelle Laurent and Tessa Breeden, and Timsy Leslie, and... .All the familiar Don Quixote friends made their itinerary tacitly, and decided to reunite again without even needing to say hello..
The social work life allowed them to bid farewell to those fanatical years for a short time. They could no longer gather together day and night to talk as they did when they were students. Even their daily contacts began to become distant and distant. They seemed to have gradually forgotten each other, but in fact The connection is never broken.
Last year, at the Auckland premiere of "Big Hero Marines", many Quixotes responded to Renly's call at the beginning of the year and had a brief gathering. But after all, it was still a small scale, and the driving force of the cartoon was still Slightly lacking; but this time it is different. All expectations and hopes release energy. Without words or calls, they can be in harmony with each other and rush in the same direction from the south to the north..
This enthusiasm alone makes people full of hope.
This is a feast！
It is not just a feast for folk or music lovers, nor is it just a feast for Don Quixote, it is a feast for all those who still have some hope and enthusiasm for life and dreams to gather together for the last carnival.：
As if tomorrow is about to usher in the end of the world, all the energy of life is being swayed, dancing, singing, laughing, suffering, happy, sad... Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is like autumn. The quiet beauty of the leaves truly makes life bloom and burn out the last drop of blood.
Everyone, literally everyone, temporarily put aside their age and gender, temporarily put aside their jobs and professional titles, temporarily put aside their identities and roles, take off their disguises and masks, and simply become themselves, the purest and simplest self, in the wilderness In the desert, return to the primitive.
Among the crowd, you can see Paul Walker and Ryan Gosling laughing happily, and you can see Edith Hall, Rooney Mara and Jessica Chastain whistling at the handsome guy passing by. In appearance, you can see Jake Gyllenhaal drunk, and you can also see Scarlett Johansson dancing in a sexy red dress... No one is surprised, and no one is surprised. Looking around, everything is so natural.
Hope still clearly remembers that on the morning of the first day of the music festival, a homeless man with dreadlocks, wearing only a pair of dirty and torn overalls, was dancing in a circle beside the stage. No one paid attention to him. He didn't pay attention to anyone, just immersed in the music. He was obviously in a sea of people, but it felt like he was the only one in the world..
Selfless, wanton, but happy.
At that moment, Hope could also feel the sweetness and happiness in his heart overflowing, as if they could temporarily block all the disturbances of the world and society outside the desert, and just live in a lonely place without being disturbed. In the field, talk to yourself without caring about other people’s eyes.
During the day, the sun was scorching, the steaming hot air almost burned their skin, and the raging wind and sand continued, but they were still not disturbed, walking between different stages, dancing to their heart's content..
In the dark night, the moonlight is like water, and the cold and shivering temperature makes people wrap up in blankets, and then sit around the campfire, discussing, arguing, sharing, relaxing, and staying up all night listening to the sound of wind and laughter..
Time and space begin to blur, losing their original meaning, isolated from the world but crowded with people. If this is the lonely land described in "The Beast", like the last oasis under the apocalypse, then Hope is willing to stay here, Use your enthusiasm and passion to water this land, and wait patiently for the moment when green leaves grow in the desert..
three days.
It seemed that one moment we had just arrived in the Indio Desert, and the next moment it was coming to an end. Before the laughter and tears could all be vented, the curtain of the carnival began to slowly lower, and the feeling of reluctance did not grow for the time being. There are signs, and the enthusiasm is rising steadily in the discussion spread by word of mouth, because——
Renly is coming soon.
Renly, coming soon！
Just imagining it in my mind, my blood couldn't help but boil again, my heart took up its wings early and soared towards the main stage..
At six o'clock in the evening on the third day of the music festival, John Legend was performing on the main stage, while performances on other side stages had already ended one after another, and the staff quickly removed some of the scaffolding that blocked the view in an orderly manner, allowing the entire desert to The line of sight became vast and empty, and the endless flat land allowed all eyes to focus on the main stage, and the brewing craze began to boil..
At the same time, at the eight major entrances to the music festival, staff were carrying out clearance work in an orderly manner. The queue that had been waiting at the entrance for a long time stretched out like a long queue. It was impossible to see the end at a glance. Although the audience was excited and unbearable, Still patiently maintaining the team, they entered the venue one after another, and then all gathered towards the main stage..
seventy thousand.
Eighty thousand.
One hundred thousand.
120,000.
One hundred and fifty thousand.
According to the official incomplete statistics of the Pioneer Village Music Festival, more than 150,000 spectators gathered around the main stage at the last moment. The dense and vast sea of people spread out incredibly, and the bright orange sunset spread out in thick colors, and the bright yellow The desert spreads out in various colors, and the bright to intense colors become a majestic background, setting off the grandeur of the 150,000-person sea..
No words can accurately describe the grand occasion, not even the tip of the iceberg..
Directly in front of the main stage, a vast sea of people spread out; directly behind the main stage, the turbulent sea of people stretched out in a fan shape. Every corner within a radius of one kilometer was filled with people, forming a circle with the stage as the center. In the huge circle, the heat remaining in the gravel began to evaporate, and the temperature was slowly dropping, but the enthusiasm on the scene was endless. The insignificance and greatness of human beings collided so contradictoryly and harmoniously..
perfect！
Hope's heart trembled slightly. Although she was only a small member of the hundreds of thousands of people in the audience, it was the figures like her one after another that collectively constituted the splendor of this vast feast, and they were writing history. , they are telling history, they are experiencing history.
Before the show even started, Hope's vision couldn't help but blur..
John Legend on the stage ended the performance of the last song. Amidst the roaring applause and cheers from the audience, his voice also rarely trembled slightly, but he still controlled his emotions. , "Hey, Indio, I know you're not here for me..”
As soon as he said these words, the whole audience burst into laughter..
“Oh, you didn't deny it." John felt hurt. "Before the next guest comes on stage, there is a special guest performing. I think you need to wait a little longer." John winked at the audience. , feeling proud of his own prank.
Then, Ed Sheeran walked up from the side stage. There was nothing fancy about it, because he was the host, not a guest performer, so there was no need to be too formal..
Ed came to John, gave John a hug, and then stood in front of the microphone, "I know that you are all waiting for a person to appear on the stage. I took the initiative to apply, hoping that I can introduce him to the stage. Because this is a person. Important friends, great guides and precious dreamers.”
“It was him who made me understand the meaning of dreams and made me stand on the stage. Six years ago, he sang with an ordinary boy on the street, making him believe that his dreams could be seen; and today, that The boy stood on the stage, participating in the grand event with all the dreamers, waiting for his arrival.”
“Gentlemen and ladies, Renly Hall.”
