535 Frustration after setback
Simple and pure, so clean that there is no modification. The hoarse voice of vicissitudes of life is humming the moving poems softly. There are no ups and downs, no stormy waves, no storms, just a light emotion, a little sadness, a little bitterness, a little regret. A little bit sad... It was like an elf flapping its wings, flying up and down between the verdant forest and the dazzling sunshine. Unexpectedly, it hit the softest part deep in my heart. Before I had time to react, my vision was blurred..
Everyone can sing, but not everyone can use singing to tell stories, and not everyone can use singing to touch the soul..
After the song ended, Renly held the guitar and sat quietly on the chair without speaking. The entire recording studio also became quiet, and the quiet emotion spread slowly in the air, as if time had been lost. significance.
“……Very good." The man sitting in front of the sound console opened his mouth to say, but his voice was a little hoarse, and you could still hear a faint nasal sound, but he immediately realized his mistake - Renly couldn't hear his voice, he He quickly pressed the red button on the table and said into the microphone, "Very good. I mean, very good." He repeated the same words several times. In a panic, he let go of his right hand, but then again He pressed it and said, "Renly, when was this song composed?？”
“Not long ago. A song written by parents for their children." Renly's voice was slightly lost, as if he was stuck in his own memories..
This song was inspired by Derek and Ellie. In them, Renly saw the shadow of Ding Yanan..
Parents are always like this, carefully protecting their children and waiting for them all their lives, but because they are so sincere that they are at a loss, fearing that if they make a mistake, they will never be able to recover. One day, it suddenly dawns on them, Life cannot be planned, and the future is unpredictable. Instead of being tied down and stuck in one's ways, it is better to let the children's wings fly, wait cautiously behind them, and support them with a stable world with both hands, allowing them to soar in the storm. Injured , tired and lonely, you can still find a piece of habitat to escape the storm of the world..
In his last life, after the doctor pronounced the result of high-level paralysis, he began to blame his mother, hate his mother, and blame his mother. He refused to eat, open his mouth, talk, or even open his eyes. He was like an ostrich, wanting to bury his head Under the sand, but closing his eyes is his only way out.
Faced with his stubbornness and resistance, his mother never gave up. She stayed by the hospital bed without any regrets, taking care of his daily life, and silently endured the resentment and pain emanating from his body until he was tired. , tired, figured it out, and finally opened his mouth. He said, "I want to drink water." That was the first time in a month that he spoke to her. He was stiff and had no warmth at all..
She silently prepared warm water, inserted the straw, and served him to drink the water. She wanted to leave, but did not dare to go far. In the end, she just walked to the window sill. She gritted her teeth and let the tears fall down, just like that quietly. Crying bitterly, that was the first time he saw her fragility after the car accident. She held her arms tightly like that, her thin shoulders were almost swallowed up by the dazzling sunlight. She cried until she couldn't help herself, but she made no sound. No.
This is true for Heather, and so is Derek and Ellie. Their biggest wish is that Heather can recover, but this wish is difficult to achieve. The only thing they can do is to use their hands to build a shelter for Heather. , I hope that the smile and happiness can return to Heather's face, and on this thorny road of life, we can move solidly towards every day in the future..
People are always like this, trapped in their own world, unable to clear away the fog. Only when they are lost can they learn to cherish it. However, everything is already too late. The authorities are confused and the onlookers understand clearly..
“How many times have I crossed boundaries just to be close to you, no one loves you as much as I do. Listen to the melody from my heart, no one loves you as much as I do..”
This is a song that Renly gave to Derek and Ellie, a song that Renly gave to Heather, and a song that he gave to every child at Mount Sinai Hospital. He missed it in the last life, so he didn’t want this time See other people and miss it again.
Herbert Jones opened his mouth, tears still shining in his eyes, he was really embarrassed, "Renly... you, are you sure you are only twenty-one years old?" A song written by parents for their children? Could it be that Renly has a child now?？
That surprised question immediately made the atmosphere in the recording studio relaxed, and everyone couldn't help but smile..
Then Herbert heard a voice coming from behind him, "It is not only time that can leave gifts." In addition to time, there are also books, newspapers, and articles. The reason why people want to read is not just for the sake of reading. Career is not only for food and clothing, but also for wisdom.
Everyone turned their heads, and then saw the stranger standing at the door. Nathan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Roy! Why are you here?" Everyone immediately understood that this seemed to be Renly's. friend.
Renly was still sitting in the recording studio, waved to Roy as a greeting, and then said into the microphone again, "Herbert, focus, focus, so, is there anything that needs to be corrected just now? We are recording now, not chatting in a tavern.”
“Yes, yes." Herbert reacted immediately, took a deep breath, regained his composure, and started a discussion with Renly.
Roy then walked into the recording studio and closed the door. His eyes fell on the three unfamiliar faces on the sofa. However, none of the three people meant to say hello. Roy looked at Nathan, and Nathan also Shrugging his shoulders, his eyes were cryptic. He couldn't explain it for a moment, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you here?"？”
Roy walked to the side, sat down next to Nathan, and explained in a low voice, "I happened to be fine today, so I wanted to come over and have a look." But the corner of his eyes still fell on the two people, and their conversation was not I didn’t mean to hide it from others, and I always kept it at a normal volume..
“How about it? How does it feel? "The person who spoke was an old man wearing a plaid shirt and a bow tie. He was still dressed like this on a hot June day. You could tell at a glance that he was a person with a rigid and conservative personality..
Sitting in the middle is a middle-aged man who is about forty-five years old. His hairline has receded to the back of his forehead, revealing the shiny Mediterranean. The few remaining hairs are tried to be tidied up, but they are still curled up. Look up, such small details can tell that he is usually a slovenly or informal person. The simple gray T-shirt paired with jeans also proves this..
“Wow, it's really outstanding." The middle-aged man gently retracted his chin, and the admiration between his eyebrows was much more sincere than the simple words, "Everyone knows that he is an excellent actor, but But few people know that he is also an excellent singer.”
“In my opinion, he wasted his time as an actor. Singing is his real talent." The old man did not hide his scorn and said loudly. The middle-aged man sitting next to him did not refute or agree, but just Looking at it with a smile, the old man then asked, "What do you think? Now we have recorded sixteen songs, each one is a masterpiece, more than enough to make an album. If you want, you can listen to the master tape of the entire album first..”
“Sixteen songs? "The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and seemed to be complaining, but after thinking about it, he didn't continue to ask, leaving people unable to figure out his thoughts. Then he changed the topic, "George, you should know this. There is no market for his songs. Now in North America, no record company dares to produce ballads. Even Jason Majez has the same difficulty. If you want to produce ballads, you still have to go to England..”
“But what about 'Cleopatra'? You don’t know, right? "The old man didn't panic at all, and said firmly, "What's more, Renly is not just a singer. He is now an actor that everyone is paying attention to. It only needs a simple publicity, and there will definitely be a chemical effect. As long as If someone pays attention to this album, then we are confident that word of mouth can spread, and sales will naturally be assured..”
“You also said that he is an actor, not a singer." The middle-aged man also refused to give in and retorted with a smile, "Of course, I believe this is an excellent album and may even win applause from the music critics..”
“But", there is always a "but" behind such words, and as expected, the middle-aged man changed the subject, "But, you should know that the best-selling music nowadays is all those pop, electronic, and dance music. Everyone knows that these are just mouth-watering songs, and they forget them after a while. They have no connotation and are just for enjoyment in nightclubs and bars. But, they don’t care, this is what they need. Now is the era of fast food, compared to word-of-mouth Said, compared to quality, fast consumption and simple entertainment are the magic weapons to win..”
Roy couldn't help but raise his head and looked at the middle-aged man. His eyes always remained sincere, without any condescension and pride. Instead, a hint of regret and helplessness could be heard in his tone..
“Excellent singers and excellent albums do not mean excellent sales. We all hope to find more balance between art and business, and we do not want to lose quality, but, George, you should also understand You know, this is an album that is only artistic and not commercial. During the production process, you abandoned all commercial aspects and focused on art. I admit, this is really courageous. Then, you will We can’t expect it. Companies like us are still willing to pay for art..”
The middle-aged man's words were like the straw that broke the camel's back. Roy could clearly see that the old man's back and shoulders were slumping, and his high-spirited spirit seemed to be weakening little by little. The earth dissipates, making people feel a sense of sadness and loneliness..
Roy considered his tone and tone before saying, "It is not difficult to make a commercial album; but it is not easy to make an art album. Everyone can make a commercial album, but not an art album..”
