092 unintentionally
Look at Neil with an excited face, look at Stanley with a smile on his face, and look at the other people raising their hands in welcome.
Reality grabbed Renly's ankle, pulled down hard, and then hit the ground hard, shaking. He paused for a moment, trying to find the right words, but found that his brain had a brief glitch, even after two lifetimes As a human being, this is all too incredible..
An indie ballad with a different style? And it’s an independent ballad that has no TV promotions or music videos? Or even a single from a newcomer without any fan base? Don’t forget, this is a single that is not signed to a record label or distribution company, and relies solely on online distributors.？
There are hundreds or thousands of such singles every day, countless. The chance of finally making it to the Billboard singles chart is actually about the same as the possibility of pie in the sky. The ranking is not important, as long as it appears in the top 100 In any position, this is an incredible feat; even if it is released the next week, it is just a flash of inspiration, it is still a miracle-the miracle of indie folk..
What happened unintentionally was just a gift at first, but unknowingly it has reached where it is now. Life is so interesting, isn’t it?？
Opening his mouth, Renly realized for the first time that words were actually quite pale and could not express his mood at the moment, so he couldn't help but laugh. He watched Neal gently retract his jaw, unable to find a suitable expression for his complicated mood. The description method, just skip it, everything is left unexplained, "...do the two numbers on the cake represent the ranking of the single?？”
Obviously, the carefully prepared cake was not for a proposal, but for celebration. The surfing statue should refer to Renly's previous experience of learning to surf on the Gold Coast. In other words, this is hinting at the real object of the surprise party. ; Then, it is not difficult to guess the special meaning of those two numbers..
“Yes! "Neil puffed up his chest high, raised his tune as if singing, and said at the top of his voice, "Ninety-seven! This week, 'Cleopatra' ranks 97th！”
Only ninety-seven, with almost no one paying attention to the number below fifty, and it is at the end of the crane; but this is still the craziest thing since 2010, even the "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive" cannot be compared..
“Ninety-seven! "Renly also raised his right hand high and showed a big smile. Life is always full of surprises. No one will refuse surprises, right?？
“Ho ho ho! "Everyone in the audience raised their right hands and joined the cheers and roars..
“All the drinks tonight will be on my account! "Renly shouted again, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of the whole audience. Everyone raised their beers and shouted loudly, "Renly! Renly! Renly！”
Looking back, Renly saw Stanley's hesitant look. He knew that Stanley had organized this party for him, so he didn't need to pay for the drinks, but, "Stanley, this belongs to me." I have been absent from the preparations for the party. At least I can show my master's attitude." Renly's words made Stanley pause for a moment, and finally smiled..
Stanley took half a step forward, approached Renly's ear, and said in a loud voice, "Don't worry, I won't open that bottle of whiskey.".”
Stanley has a precious bottle of whiskey. Dalmore's whiskey was brewed in 1942. It was a blend of four single malt whiskeys distilled in different years. It was finally made. There are only twelve bottles in the world, and each bottle has its own unique character. The name of Stanley's bottle is called Alexander Matheson. The specific value is unreliable. For reference, what can be found on the market is Scottish Matheson, which is worth $58,000. It is said that the value of Alexander Matheson is at least double.
In fact, no one has seen the true identity of this bottle of Alexander's Whiskey, but only heard it from Stanley. It is said that Stanley kept it until a special occasion to open it. Everyone in the pioneer village always liked to joke about this bottle of Alexander's Whiskey..
“Haha." Renly deliberately twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a disappointed expression, "This really breaks my heart." This made Stanley laugh loudly..
A cup of beer was passed from behind. Renly stepped forward, took it, and then raised it high, joining the others. Then he raised his head and drank it all in one breath, and the cold beer slid down his throat. In the stomach, people couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Renly raised the wine glass high and tipped it upside down on his head..
Everyone in the audience hit the table and started booing, and the atmosphere reached a climax at this moment..
In Renly's apartment, a party that does not belong to him is going on; in the Pioneer Village, a party that belongs to Renly is also going on..
“Guys, guys! Janice's voice came from the speaker, and the excited crowd finally calmed down a little, "Who wants to hear today's protagonist sing the single that conquered the Billboard?"？”
One sentence immediately caused the whole audience to shout in unison again, "Renly! Renly! Renly！”
Seeing Renly's helpless expression, Janis continued to joke, "Neil's singing just now was terrible. I don't want this to be my only impression of 'Cleopatra'. You have to clean my ears.".”
Neil, who was standing next to him, didn't mind at all, and actually nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I just went off-tune so horribly. You need to clarify the facts, otherwise this single will fall into the cesspit.".”
“"Pfft", the whole audience burst into laughter.
Renly didn't hesitate. He put down his beer glass and looked around, "Where's the guitar?" Someone next to him immediately handed over the guitar, and everyone else walked off, leaving the stage to Renly..
The party has just begun.
It was a crazy night. The Pioneer Village closed its business for one night and held a private party. Only guests with private invitations could enter. Put down all your burdens and simply enjoy alcohol, music, friends and the night on a Tuesday night.
“Renly, come here." Stanley interrupted Renly, who was arguing with some old guy about whether Nirvana was better or Pearl Jam. "I have a special guest to introduce to you..”
Renly said seriously, "Believe me, Kurt-Cobain is a peerless genius, but the greatness of Pearl Jam is a whole!" Seeing that the other party wanted to argue, Renly did not. He paid no more attention and followed Stanley's footsteps as he walked away. From behind came the unyielding shout, "Fitfire! So you're saying that the Foo Fighters aren't good enough?"？”
After Nirvana took his own life, the remaining band formed the Foo Fighters, becoming one of the most important rock bands of the past fifteen years..
However, these disputes were put behind them. Renly and Stanley came to a small table next to the bar. The small round table was a typical Parisian model, only allowing two people to sit face to face, with their knees touching. Knee-high, but this small and crowded style is a true flavor of Paris.
A white-haired old man huddled in the corner. His thin frame was almost submerged in the darkness. He could only vaguely see the light reflected by his glasses..
“Hey, Woody." Stanley greeted him knowingly, "This is Renly, who plays the piano very well. Not the kind of textbook competition piano, but a piano that truly blends into the music." Stanley has never been stingy. My own praise, this time is no exception.
“I can hear that his guitar is also very tasteful." The old man muttered in a slurred voice, and his pure New York accent was particularly familiar..
”If you have a chance in the future, maybe you can go on stage together and perform." Stanley said cheerfully, without flattery, more of a joke between friends, with a hint of expectation..
The old man shrugged, noncommittal, and seemed not very interested in the proposal. He raised his head and glanced at Renly for the first time, but he did not look at him roughly. His eyes stayed on Renly's face and recognized him. He looked at it carefully, as if he was thinking about Renly's eyes..
Only now did Renly finally see the old man's face. His wrinkled cheeks had the aura of a scholar. His black round-rimmed glasses enhanced this temperament. His silver-white hair was combed to one side casually and messily. Revealing a full and smooth forehead, the slightly listless eyes revealed a sense of aloofness and pride, with an inaccessible alienation..
“Renly-Hall, you mean? "The little old man asked loudly.
Renly pursed his lips, then chuckled and said, "Who is asking?？”
Such a counterattack answer also has an arrogance that cannot be ignored. However, unlike the little old man's slightly picky and sharp questioning style, Renly's standard London accent has the politeness and coolness accumulated in the aristocratic life, maintaining etiquette. At the same time, draw the boundaries neatly.
The former is a literati and the latter is an aristocrat. They are essentially different..
The little old man chuckled, his faint snort revealing his disdain and rejection. He didn't care about Renly's gentlemanly and noble posture. Obviously, nobility had no influence on him. However, his eyes twinkled slightly. , it seems a bit unexpected to meet such a pure London accent here, "You little guy, you are interesting.".”
Then, the little old man stood up and nodded to Renly, "Don't forget to let me know if there is a performance next time." Then he patted Stanley's arm, "Then I'll leave first. It's already time for me to go to bed. time.”
“Have a good sleep." Stanley didn't mind. He patted the little old man casually and watched him leave. Then he turned around and looked at Renly, "It seems that you have another audience..”
“Yes, a big-name audience." Renly nodded meaningfully, Woody Allen is still the top and biggest name even in Hollywood, let alone in this three-acre area of Greenwich Village.？
Looking back, Renly raised his voice to Stanley again and said, "How about a round of tequila?" Then, he shouted loudly, "Neil! Neil? A round of tequila?"！”
Walking to the bar, Niall had already laid out a row of tequila, and had lemons and salt ready in his hand. Renly took the lemon and raised it, and Niall also picked up his glass of tequila. He shouted loudly, "Next step, first fifty." Those eyes were full of shining expectation..
Renly also showed a big smile, "Then let's wait and see! For a ride on the Hudson!" Then, he raised his head and finished it.！
