From the kerosene lamp bar of "Drunken Country Ballad" to the Madison Square Garden in the real world, the song "Hang me, hang me" builds a bridge between two time and space, allowing thoughts to follow the flow of light and shadow. Walking freely, in a trance, it seems that I have really returned to the kerosene lamp bar in the 1960s, and I am in the scene at the beginning of the "Drunken Country Ballad" movie.
"If a song is never new, but never outdated, it's a folk song."
That's because folk songs always tell the murmur of poetry and sadness. They are different from the stories of the countryside and the petty bourgeoisie of jazz. Folk songs are like wandering poets, recording suffering in the midst of the ups and downs. It seems that the melody is always similar. Yes, but the real difference comes from the singer's interpretation and annotation. The same song can taste different pain.
"First Evolution"
The shooting of "Drunken Country Ballad" was only a year ago, but in the past 12 months, I have experienced too much, and the current Renly is no longer the same Renly. It tells the story of relief and calmness, with a touch of unrestrainedness and uninhibitedness faintly added to the sadness, as if it is slowly telling the follow-up story of Le Verne Davis after the end of the movie.
However, not everyone can comprehend the emotions behind the singing and the melody. Only the audience who really understand the movie "Drunken Country Ballad", only the audience who really calm down and listen carefully, and only the audience who really understand the voice of Renly The audience can understand those passing years like water, just like the album "Don Quixote", otherwise it's just a slightly pleasant performance, and you won't feel anything special at all.
This is also the most wonderful place: the exclusive code belonging to Don Quixote, only they can understand.
After the song was sung, a touch of nostalgia spread in Madison Square Garden. That kind of comfort and enjoyment rolled in the chest, making people unable to extricate themselves, and they couldn't help but want to wander and let themselves go. Lost in the tunnel of time and space, looking for the footprints of Levin Davis.
William Taylor finally came back to his senses, with a bright smile on his face, and then he applauded towards the stage, and even whistled mischievously, as if he was really in a kerosene lamp bar, The casual and playful street cheers make the folk bar more approachable and casual.
At this point, Madison Square Garden finally woke up.
The unexpected opening, the moving performance, the peculiar rhythm... All these unconventional ways of opening the concert reenacted the beginning of the "Drunk Town Folk Ballad" movie, leaving the audience in a moment of confusion and confusion, which was unreasonable. The ground led everyone back to the 1960s, but the passage of time was so gentle and moving, all the irritability and excitement gradually calmed down, and then I was so immersed in the performance that I couldn't extricate myself.
until now.
After I recovered my emotions, cheers and cheers began to break out gradually. When the voice broke free from the shackles of the throat, the excitement and excitement revived again, and then the screams became one, and the mighty waves set off a storm in the entire Madison Square Garden.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
The frenzied screams and roars echoed incessantly, and began to climb up step by step, as if all the emotions that had just been suppressed were being released exponentially. A slight vibration can be felt.
Above the eardrums, you can clearly feel the impact of the layered sound waves, like a continuous drum beat, and even the blood begins to boil. This is the beauty of live performances. Just like the stage of a drama, it breaks the shackles of the screen. The performers and the audience look at each other face to face, fully presenting the artistic tension of the performance, and completing the transfer without hindrance. Deeply immersed in it.
The whole Madison Square Garden was a sensation, spreading from the inside out, and the spectators who were waiting outside the venue finally felt the craze again. They were even happier and more crazy than the audience inside the venue, jumping up and down one by one. Use your whole body to express your joy and excitement.
That sound wave joined the audience without hindrance, stirring up even more turbulent waves.
Sitting quietly in the center of the stage, holding the guitar in his arms, the corners of Renly's mouth rose.
Just a few days ago, he was filming "Interstellar" in Iceland.
This time the filming work has always been relaxed and pleasant, and more importantly, all the main difficult parts were left in the Los Angeles studio to complete - because of the need to build special shooting scenes, the scenes in Calgary and Iceland were relatively simple, the real hard work Part of it was battling nature's weather, light, temperature, etc., rather than the performance itself, which, for Renly, was all about comfort and enjoyment.
After filming in Iceland, the crew collectively took a ten-day vacation: partly because of the Christmas holidays, and partly to prepare for the filming in Los Angeles. As a result, Renly returned to New York, joined the "Dream Back to the Kerosene Lamp Bar" performance stage, and returned to the world of Le Verne Davis.
As the outside world said, this concert was just a joke by the crew, but the main actors, including Renly, have expressed that they are very willing to attend if it is really held as scheduled; later, Sony Classics really paid All the actions have been taken, and all the actors have responded positively—
Don't say that Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, Renly Hall and other busy schedules, even Stark Sanders and others who are busy on Broadway are also full, but every actor They all actively stated that they must be there on December 27th, and no matter how busy their schedules are, they will do their best to facilitate this.
All in tonight.
It can also be seen from the side that the friendly atmosphere during the filming of "Drunken Country Ballads", and the actors have established a good friendship.
After two years, he appeared on the stage of the concert again, quietly watching the noisy and boiling upsurge in front of him, and the stirring emotions in his chest were slightly mixed.
From the past to the present, performance has always been the source of his motivation. He threw himself into performance wholeheartedly, and roamed the world of performance recklessly. Even if his body was covered in bruises, even if he stumbled, even if it was painful, he still enjoyed it, even if he was tired. Scars are badges of memory.
But before he knew it, a group of friends who walked side by side added to him. They always supported his choice unconditionally, cheered for him unconditionally, and always followed his dream unconditionally. They have become the best companions on this road of pursuing themselves and breaking through themselves.
Leaving the closed state of the crew and standing on the stage again, I once again felt the heat and madness of the wave of support, and my heart was quietly filled with emotion.
He is living his dream and they are cheering for his dream. Just like Heather Cross. Although his parents couldn't understand and refused to support him, he had more and more supporters and peers. On the road of the second life, he was not alone after all.
In a trance, Renly saw Heather again. She stood in the crowd with a bright smile, waving her hands, and then began to dance to the rhythm. The ivory skirt was blooming like flowers. You could even hear that silver bell-like laughter echoing.
Involuntarily, I recalled the melody again in my mind:
At the filming site of "Exploding Drummer", his performance finally achieved a breakthrough and a new life in the last scene of 400 hits. After going through thousands of difficulties and obstacles, he successfully entered a new realm of performance. His past efforts and persistence are like The marquee generally passed through his head, and on the spot, he created half of the "bullet"—
Integrating your own life into the performance is like being shot, even if you are bruised and bruised, you have no regrets.
Tonight, the melody began to play and circle again, and the meaning of life shone on this stage. In addition to the performance, there are companions, walking along the way.
In fact, that quee melody is more suitable for rock arrangements, because the drums of the drums and the bass of the bass are the focus of the whole piece, but now, just relying on a guitar in his hand, he is still inspired, maybe, he can Try it out.
"Welcome to the Kerosene Lamp Bar."
After the applause and cheers gradually subsided, Renly said into the microphone with a smile.
"As a matter of fact, we had some arguments about tonight's opening performance. I always thought that we should choose those performers who are not very popular to come to the show, but as a result, everyone was reluctant to admit that their popularity was not high, so, Ethan and Joel rudely pushed me out. I guess I'm really underpowered on this stage."
Renly's tone was relaxed, joking and humorous, as if he was really sitting in a tavern, except that the low laughter of the 20,000 fans in the audience was like rolling thunder, roaring, and the venues were different. It appeared immediately, but instead created an absurd sense of joy, which made the laughter even more cheerful.
"But I insisted that we just presented the show in a 'Drunken Country Ballad' style, with me at the beginning and the end, definitely not because of popularity."
Renly solemnly emphasized one sentence, which caused a lot of whistling and booing.
"I guess, I'm still a little popular." Renly raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, making everyone laugh together again, "The next song, I was going to perform another song, but standing in this On the stage, I had some inspiration. Not long ago, when I was shooting another work, I once composed a half-quee song, and then I never got the inspiration. But tonight, I will stand on this stage again. , feel the craze again, and I want to try it out."
"Don't get your hopes up too much, after all, it's a ballad, you know, if a song..."
Before Renly could finish his words, the audience shouted in unison:
"Never new, but never outdated".
