607 A happy ending
Renly, wearing a white shirt and jeans, sat in front of an informal keyboard in a shabby little bar and picked up an improvised piano piece by Chopin. It didn't seem advanced or unconventional, but was familiar to many people. The movement may not seem difficult or popular, but it is the movement that many people choose to take exams. However, the difficulty is definitely extraordinary. Only those with truly superb memory can display the majestic and endless flow of flowing clouds and flowing water. Junxiu's performance is brisk, accurate, full of emotion, and skillful, and fully demonstrates the cool and elegant temperament..
Just such a moment gives people a glimpse. This is definitely not a height that any grassroots musician can reach, nor is it a level that can be achieved by just any short-term training, nor is it a level that can be achieved casually. What kind of temperament can a down-and-out poet possess?.
“Master." Timsi couldn't help but murmured to himself the nickname. He originally thought it was just a name given to a certain movie character by movie fans, but now it seems that he has to chew on that elegant and calm temperament. , displayed vividly in this piano melody. Perhaps Renly is indeed a young master..
After the performance of the song, Renly left no room for breathing, and naturally no room for interviews. His fingers slowed down, and the piano music gradually became softer, like a gurgling stream, flowing slowly in his ears, and then The melody suddenly stopped, and Renly's voice came from the microphone again, "In the night, you announced the end of everything, but you were just lost in the darkness..”
The singing started again. The moving melody of "Faithful" followed the vicissitudes of time and the hoarse voice, rising like smoke. Without any words, every audience present entered that wonderful world. , listening to this story belonging to Jacob and Anna, listening to this story belonging to "Crazy in Love".
Tonight, sleepless.
An album, sixteen songs, for an album listening session, is much "longer" than an ordinary album, but even if you listen to every song once, and then invite some fans to share their opinions, say a Zi Chou Yin In the end, two hours was enough; Pioneer Village also included a thirty-minute intermission, so tonight's audition will be held from 8 to 10:30.
As for after 10:30, the bar will still be open as normal. Not to the outside world, but to the inside. If any of the fans who attended the album listening party are willing to stay, if there are friends who want to continue to communicate, if there are any If you want to continue playing in the Pioneer Village, then Stanley will naturally welcome you with an open door..
But who could have imagined that when Renly showed up unexpectedly, the development of things would deviate from the original track. The album listening session turned into a small concert. Even though there was a short interview session in the middle, it lasted only ninety minutes. At around 9:30, the party came to an end. This was really unexpected..
However, for every listener present, they are still satisfied, not just because they met like-minded friends, not just because they listened to the album "Don Quixote" here, and not just because they listened to it live. Renly's singing, and more importantly, because for the first time, they truly understood why live performance is irreplaceable. Even though the album itself was already impressive, Renly's live performance made them completely surrender.！
Every performance and every song is different. Because of the performer's state, mood and investment, and also because of the audience's state, emotion and response, the effect presented is completely different and unique. Renly's performance eclipses the studio version of "Don Quixote".
Timsi said that only by truly listening to the live performance can one truly understand the essence of the "Don Quixote" album. The audience present deeply agreed..
The performance is over. Even if you are reluctant to leave, it is still over after all..
That night, Neil set up two cameras in the bar. The original intention was to record the grand occasion and then show it to Renly. If the picture quality was good, Neil also planned to upload it to YouTube so that more people could watch it. Listening to the album "Don Quixote", although the sales of the album are extremely difficult, they cannot give up, even if it is not for profit, even if it is not for their dreams, simply for this album, for the sake of Renly and George After working hard, they don’t want “Don Quixote” to be completely buried like this..
As a result, Renly's unexpected appearance fulfilled Neal's wish..
Later, Neil uploaded the video of that night to YouTube, recording the performance of sixteen singles, as well as temporary interviews. This was the first time that people could appreciate Renly's live performance in such a comprehensive way, and at the same time It was also the first time people got to know Renly so closely and deeply.——
This is not the official voice of the "Ellen Show" or magazine interview, but a question and answer from the masses, from reality, and from real life. The only regret is that all the questions are about music, and they are only about music. About the music. Not good news for Renly fans.
The entire video is one hundred and five minutes long, which is really out of place for the YouTube culture in the fast food era. People simply don’t have the patience to spend such a long time just to watch a performance. In comparison, people still prefer music videos. With a short and concise video of three or four minutes like that.
Not only that, this performance is about "Don Quixote", a music album that almost no one has heard of so far. It is really difficult to attract more attention. Just rely on "Cleopatra" The attention accumulated by videos such as "La" and "Ophelia" is still a drop in the bucket..
Therefore, after Neil uploaded it, the number of clicks on the video did not grow very fast. With 300,000 subscribers, the number of views in 24 hours was only over 7,000, but the amazing thing is that the number of likes increased. The number has reached 5,000, and the ratio of views and likes is appalling..
However, just like the slow flow of "Cleopatra", the number of views of this video, which Neil named "Night in the Pioneer Village", also slowly and steadily increased. One month later, the number of views exceeded 100,000; Six months later, it successfully exceeded one million. The growth rate is getting faster and faster, and the scope of communication is getting wider and wider..
One year later, the views of "Pioneer Village Night" on YouTube have exceeded 20 million, and the number of likes has reached 4 million. Compared with the number of views, the number of likes is simply amazing. It's incredible.
At that time, the number of views of YouTube videos was measured in "hundred million". A mere 20 million was not even a ranking. Even the number of likes was the same in front of those videos with tens of millions of likes. I was resigned to being inferior. However, "Pioneer Village Night" has become a video that countless music lovers worship..
Because on this night, Renly gave a master-level performance; because on this night, everything was only about music; because on this night, they once again found their inner destination; because on this night, the album "Don Quixote" officially appeared in front of people; because of this night, the North American music industry is quietly changing.
Countless senior professional music lovers are shuddering. Just through the video, they can't appreciate the craziness and beauty of the night. They can't appreciate the charm of Renly's live performance, the craziness of "Simple Life", "Cleopatra". "The moving feeling of "Old Pine Tree", the sadness of "Beast", the poetry of "Los Angeles"... Those are emotions that cannot be recorded by video. Only by truly being there, only by truly being in it, can we empathize with it..
No one could have imagined that "Pioneer Village Night" could have such a powerful and far-reaching influence. Even that night, everyone present was deeply immersed in it and could not extricate themselves..
“Master..." After the performance, before the crowd dispersed and there was no commotion, Timsi couldn't wait to shout out because they knew there would be no encore tonight and all sixteen songs of the album had already been performed. At the end, they were satisfied, so Timsi's voice was successfully heard. However, just after shouting, Timsi couldn't help but smile: Master, this title is a bit embarrassing, but it is natural..
“I want to ask, you just said that the song 'Faithful' was created for 'Crazy in Love', right? "Timsi couldn't help recalling the desperate cry again, "Say something, say something, even if it's just 'I love you'." He easily touched the strings deep in his heart, but he didn't. She cried, but felt the sadness that she wanted to cry but couldn't. Timsi became interested in the story behind this song and the movie, "Excuse me, when will the movie be released?"？”
The people around him became quiet and looked at Renly..
Renly didn't expect such a question at all, and was stunned, "After the Toronto Film Festival." Nathan said it once before the vacation, but he really couldn't remember it. Then Renly chuckled, "Why? , are you willing to go to the cinema and contribute to the box office?？”
“Of course, it's my honor." What Timsi didn't say was that he decided to buy a hundred albums, promote them on the forum, and then introduce them to his friends. Just thinking about it made his blood boil..
The reason why I didn’t say it is because there are more important things to do at the moment..
Timsi took out the album in his pocket. Originally, he took it for granted that it was a ticket for admission, but now he had other intentions. In three steps, Timsi walked onto the stage and handed the album to In front of Renly, "Master, can you sign an autograph for me to cherish my memory? I like this album very much, no, to be precise, I am crazy about it..”
Not Renly, but "Don Quixote"”.
Renly thought of George, a bright smile formed on his lips, and his narrow eyes curved into a soft arc. He nodded, "This is my honor..”10
