Renly's hands were still stained with water drops, and his clothes were a little messy due to the busy dinner rush. He looked a little embarrassed. Niall's drag was so fast and powerful that his footsteps They were all staggering, "Slow down, slow down, Neil! What's going on? At least you can update me on the specific situation first.！”
But Niall's steps still didn't stop, and he strode to pull Renly to the side of the stage, and then put the guitar leaning against the wall into Renly's arms, "Emergency time."！”
Renly's eyes widened, "Again?" Although his expression showed surprise, the movements in his hands did not pause, and he immediately put the guitar on his shoulders..
Neil spread his hands helplessly, "There's a big traffic jam. Jason is still on 23rd Street, stuck in a traffic jam." This is Seventh Street, which is a long distance. In a short time, He probably won’t be able to make it in time, “Now I can only rely on you to save the situation. Stanley said, the reward remains the same..”
New York, this city will always remind everyone living here in unexpected ways from time to time that this is the first city in the world and also the busiest city in the world - the terrible traffic congestion problem is always such a worry. Man. Tonight, Jason became another "experiencer"”.
This is not the first time.
Since Pioneer Village always insists on live performances, and insists that every day's performers must be carefully selected, rather than having a fixed team all year round, this means that various unexpected situations are inevitable. Therefore, the scene is always Firefighters are needed from time to time. Before this, comedians were the first choice because they could go on stage to perform stand-up performances. In addition to livening up the atmosphere, they also interacted closely with the audience, which was really the best way to delay time..
However, there was an accident last month, and no comedian could be found to save the scene. Fortunately, Renly volunteered to perform on stage, avoiding the crisis of having no openings for the performance that night..
For nobles like the Hall family - even declining nobles, they must learn an artistic skill from an early age, such as painting, piano, violin, poetry, wine tasting, etc. The focus is not on being good at it, but on cultivating sentiment and cultivating Temperament. Especially in formal social situations in the upper class, your eyes, conversation, behavior, and demeanor determine your status and image in the circle at the first impression. This is why the nouveau riche and later aristocrats have never been able to truly integrate. The fundamental reason for the upper class circle - inheritance and heritage.
Renly studied piano, and later tried more different instruments at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, mainly to understand the changes and progress of popular culture, which plays an important role in understanding culture, understanding history, and understanding performance; in addition to In addition, this is also to make up for the regrets of the previous life. Trying different new things can always broaden your horizons. The guitar is one of them..
It was originally just a cameo to save the scene, but unexpectedly it received a lot of praise. In the past period of time, Renly has appeared on stage five times to arrange flowers..
Neil pushed Renly to the front of the stage, then raised his hands to show his innocence, showing a relieved smile, "The rest is up to you.！”
Seeing Neil who was about to become the hands-off shopkeeper, Renly quickly stopped him, "How much time? How much time do I need to delay?"？”
“Fifteen minutes." Neil said loudly, "When Jason arrives, we will give you a signal from the audience." After saying that, he didn't stop anymore and ran back to the bar to take the hot potato. Just threw it to Renly.
Watching Neal flee away, Renly didn't panic too much. He raised his head and looked at the clock. He began to estimate in his mind that after deducting the conversation time and the rest time for substitutions, there was about ten minutes of blank space. , he only needs to perform three songs. The task is not too heavy.
At this time, Stanley-Charlson (Stanley-Charlson), who was standing on the stage, saw Renly who was already ready. He could no longer continue messing around. As the owner of the bar, he just came on stage. It was just a casual show, and two minutes of nonsense was already his limit. So, before Renly could take a breath, he raised his right hand high and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, Renly Hall！”
“Hoho, Renly! Renly! "There was a sound of slapping on the table from the direction of the bar. I couldn't help but turn my head and knew it must be Neil. Along with the sound of hitting, many spectators also started to cheer. The whistles and laughter made it very lively..
Steven wiped off the last bit of soup on the plate with bread and put it into his mouth - the food tonight was indeed delicious. When he heard Stanley's introduction on the stereo, he almost choked. The first time The reaction was to cast a questioning look at Tom, "What's going on?" But Tom also spread his hands with a blank expression on his face, not understanding what was going on..
Turning to look at the stage, Renly, who was carrying a guitar, appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face. The booing at the scene became more and more lively. Steven couldn't help but turn his head and look around, and found that the guests who were booing had words in their mouths. They muttered words, and it was obvious that they were already very familiar with Renly, and the banter and slapstick between friends could be clearly seen..
Renly took the microphone from Stanley and said with a smile, "Good evening, I'm Jason Majez." His calmness in telling lies made everyone in the bar burst into laughter. "Sorry, Jason is temporarily left fifteen blocks away by the terrible management of Michael Bloomberg." Michael, the current mayor of New York.
This joke won the favor of everyone, and the sound of banging on the table broke out again, mixed with excited whistles..
“Until Jason arrives at the scene, you will have to put up with this fake me for a while." With two simple sentences, Renly successfully made the atmosphere lively again. Not only did he not complain about Jason's lateness, On the contrary, it became more and more lively..
Renly pulled up a wooden chair and sat down gracefully. After fixing the microphone, the stage lights dimmed. All the lights in the bar except the stage were dimmed, leaving only a creamy yellow light. The beam of light fell down and enveloped Renly's body. The dust in the air was flying up and down, falling lightly on his shoulders. The halo penetrated the messy and unruly golden brown curls and sparsely fell on his face, and his thick eyelashes projected The next shadow covered the expression in his eyes, and an indescribable silence slowly spread..
Time seems to have stopped suddenly.
“Before Jason shows up," Renly's voice came from the speakers, spreading out like blue velvet in the creamy yellow world, the beautiful moments of the night blooming proudly, "I decided to sing his song first. His masterpiece, when he appears, maybe you will feel the huge gap." That self-deprecating joke made every audience member smile, even Steven was no exception..
The long and straight fingers of the sleeves have clear joints and are vigorous and powerful. They stroke lightly, and the tinkling strings dance in the spotlight. The song "I am yours" easily immerses everyone in the bar. Among them, the rhythm of the followers swayed gently. In this moment of leisure, there was music, wine, and friends, and the fragments of life began to become clear..
Steven stared intently at Renly in the beam of light. Different from the free and unrestrained and unbridled Renly at the audition in the afternoon, Renly at this moment looked elegant and clear. He didn't know if it was because of the spotlight and the darkness around him. The contrast is too strong. There is only one solitary figure on the huge stage. Renly is like a bard, singing softly and expressing his feelings directly. He is casual and unrestrained, which makes people jealous..
There seems to be no singing skills, but it easily catches the ears, and even the mind is immersed in the lazy and hoarse voice, and the faint aroma of coffee under the nose is mixed with the sunshine..
When the song was finished, Steven realized the relaxed smile on his lips and couldn't help but quickly restrained it. He glanced at Tom from the corner of his eyes. Fortunately, Tom raised his hands high and was preparing for Renly. They applauded and paid tribute without noticing anything strange about him. Not only Tom, but also other audience members. No one would notice anything strange about others. Everyone just enjoyed the performance..
Even if Steven doesn't want to, he has to admit that aside from the professional point of view, Renly's performance does make people feel very comfortable, with an indescribable appeal. Generally speaking, only those who have gone through vicissitudes of life and experienced Only the backbone singers of Storm have this power, but Renly is only twenty years old this year, which is really incredible..
This reminded Steven of the afternoon audition. In fact, the same is true for actors. Young actors often rely on talent and instinct to perform due to lack of experience and experience; while mature actors gradually lose their spirituality and rely more on Skill and experience control the performance. But Renly has a temperament mixed with vicissitudes and spirituality that makes people shine. This is why Tom stepped forward..
“Renly, performing 'Charlie-Boy'" and "David Bowie's 'Heroes'... Under the stage, many audience members started to request songs. The scene was so lively..
Steven's thoughts were interrupted, but he became more and more amused. Although this was only his first time in the pioneer village, it is certain that if he were not talented, the audience would not act like this just because they were familiar with each other. so enthusiastic.
Tom finally couldn't help it, turned around and said loudly, "It seems that this little guy is quite popular."！”
Steven was still stubborn, "As an amateur singer?" Actors always have an inexplicable condescension towards singers. Steven's words were obviously an expression of disdain. Tom couldn't help but roll his eyes..
On the stage, Renly's eyes fell on table 14, and the smile on his lips showed a touch of teasing, causing both Tom and Steven to look sideways, "I just went through an audition this afternoon that was not successful. , but this audition gave me some inspiration, which I am willing to share with you here..”
