Renly could feel George's sincerity and focus. That devotion and paranoia were moving, but that didn't mean he would change his life style. When he should focus on his own work as an actor, he would devote his full attention to it; When he should be involved in extreme sports such as surfing, skydiving, and rock climbing, he will devote himself to enjoying life; of course, when the time is right, he is also willing to walk into the studio again and try the daunting challenge of recording an entire album.
He could feel George's urgency, but he didn't change his plans for the next time, so he pointed to the figure standing in front of the bar, "I think Ed is not bad, what do you think?" This is the truth, Ed- Sheeran is indeed an excellent music creator, perhaps a little immature now, but his excellence is unquestionable.
George was stunned for a while, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the words had already poured into his throat, and then he thought: Eddie did show a good potential in the performance just now, but compared with Renly, Eddie is really too much. Too young. "How old are you?" George frowned slightly.
Renly laughed dumbly, "Is this important?" After speaking, Renly stood up and said politely, "Then I won't disturb your old friends' party, I hope you have a good night here." Then he said: He turned around without hesitation and left, leaving George and Stanley looking at each other.
Renly walked straight to the bar, looked at Ed's slightly restrained back, walked to his side, and teased with a chuckle, "Are you worried about the legal drinking age in the United States? I thought I was British. , you don't care." In the US you can't legally drink until you're 21, but in the UK, the official legal drinking age is six.
Ed picked up the beer in his hand, looked at it, and realized that he had only drank two sips. He couldn't help laughing, but in the face of ridicule, he didn't know how to respond, so he could only scratch his head, jerky. Pulled the corners of his mouth.
"There's someone looking for you there." Renly pointed in the direction of Stanley and George, took a sip of the beer in front of him, and let out a long breath of relief.
"Who?" Ed turned his head to look, then looked at Renly with question marks all over his head. "What are they doing with me?"
Renly shrugged, "You shouldn't ask me, you should ask them." He patted Ed's shoulder, "Come on, let others wait, it's not polite."
"Oh, oh oh." Ed was stunned for a while, then he reacted, put down the beer, and trotted over in a hurry.
"What is George looking for with you?" Neil asked curiously while wiping his beer mug, leaning his head over.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "You know George?"
Neil's big smile was the best answer, "How is it? How did the discussion turn out? Is your album finally going to be planned? Can we see your album in the record store?" Without a doubt, Neil is Renly's biggest supporter.
Renly took a slow sip of beer. "I'm going to the Telluride Film Festival next week."
The high expectations fell heavily, and Neil suddenly let out a disappointed wailing, "Oh!" He rolled his eyes silently, and stared at Renly with resentment and contempt, but all of them bumped into the gentleman-like man. On top of the smile, returning without success really made Neil discouraged.
While chatting and laughing, Ed returned to the bar, with that dazed expression that didn't seem to understand the situation, he walked over step by step, stumbled and worried - Ed came back faster than It was much faster than expected, and it took less than five minutes before and after.
"Ed, how's it going?" Renly handed over Ed's glass of beer.
Ed took the beer ignorantly and poured it into his mouth subconsciously, but he couldn't stop at all. He gulped down the whole glass of beer, put the glass on the table heavily, and let out a long breath. , the whole person became lighter. "Wow." He sighed softly, and then his emotions slowly boiled, and he couldn't help but sigh again, "Wow!" His eyes slowly bloomed, and it seemed that the whole person became alive.
"I... I just got a record contract!" Ed's expression was full of incredulity. The same sentence received different reactions. Neil glanced at Renly with disgust, while Renly With a big smile, he took the initiative to say "Congratulations".
Ed finally came to his senses at this time, "I got the record contract!" He turned to look at Renly, and said with great excitement, "George said, I can enter the studio next week, and then I worked on recording while I was recording, and finished recording the entire album as I wanted.”
In fact, Ed started recording in 2005 when he was only fourteen years old. However, until now, it could only be regarded as a small game, either just a single or an independent record. The published copies were very limited, but they could not be sold, and they accumulated dust in the warehouse. Before coming to Los Angeles, he also signed an independent record company, but the cooperation between the two parties was very bad. After he resolutely left the company, he chose to come to the United States to seek opportunities.
Unexpectedly, he stayed in Los Angeles for more than three months and got nothing, but because of Renly's relationship, he came to New York unexpectedly. In just one week, he won his first record contract-George said that he will be brought in next week. The studio completes the "top" recording, then goes to Warner Music to see what's going on. If nothing else, he should sign with a certain label under Warner Music.
For Ed, this is definitely a leap in his music career, a reborn leap.
"Ah! Ahh!" Ed looked at Renly and wanted to express his inner joy, but he couldn't find the right words. In the end, he could only scream in excitement. All the emotions turned into a simple one. Onomatopoeia, double ** stomping on the ground, wide eyes revealing a dazzling light, "Ah ah!"
That excited mood also infected Renly, and he couldn't help but laugh.
But Ed still felt that it was not enough, and he couldn't help shouting, "Renly! Renly! Renly!"
He could never have expected that his musical dreams would be turned upside down by an actor, if Renly hadn't called the convenience store that day, if he hadn't sung "Cleopatra" that day, if He didn't choose to go out on the night of the Emmys... So, isn't that all going to happen? So, where is his future
"Haha." Ren Li laughed briskly and nodded. Even he could not have guessed that Ed's music career would start in the pioneer village.
However, taking a step back and thinking about it, Renly was a little unsure. He's a butterfly from the Amazon destined to flap his wings to change history - otherwise his dream would be impossible because in 2017 there was no actor named "Renly Hall" ; But where will the influence of his little butterfly on other people go
Renly can be sure that Ed’s last life was a success, a huge success; but what he didn’t know was how Ed’s success was, he could only be sure that Ed should have found an opportunity in Los Angeles, but Now Ed's opportunity has happened in New York and in the pioneer village, so whether Ed's future trajectory has changed, and whether it will be different from the previous life.
"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"
All this is unknown.
Renly was a little excited and a little nervous. Things are deviating step by step from the original track. It is certain that there are good things, and there must be bad things, but the unknown is the joy of life, isn't it
"Thank you, thank you." Ed's full of joy couldn't find a way to express it. He didn't know what Renly was thinking. He only knew that Renly's invitation opened the door for him. Maybe, they just met; maybe, this is only their second meeting, but fate is so wonderful, isn't it? What's more, one "Cleopatra" and one "Ophelia" are enough to make Ed and Renly friends.
Ed looked from side to side, wanting to hug Renly, but this is not the way the British are used to congratulating, and finally picked up the beer mug - and then saw the beer mug he had just drank, which was embarrassing. , Ed and Renly looked at each other, and they both laughed.
"Neil, please have another beer, please?" Ed handed the beer glass over, "Tonight is a good start, let's celebrate it." But Neil showed a look of disgust The expression, reluctantly refused to pour the wine, Ed didn't care, and laughed happily, "For that 'Los Angeles' just now?"
Neil smiled, nodded, and took Ed's glass, "For 'Los Angeles'."
"Shouldn't it be for New York?" The drinker next to him heard this conversation and said loudly, and then Neil and Ed both looked at Lu Li, "Yeah, shouldn't it be for New York?"
In the song just now, Lu Li named it "Los Angeles". The main source of inspiration for the melody was the City of Angels. He shrugged, raised his beer mug, and shouted, "For London!" Londoners, it's no secret in Pioneer Village.
Such a joke made everyone laugh instantly.
As the night wore on, George Slender left, and Renly didn't stay too long, celebrating with Eddard and heading home before the Herald Village closed. Looking at the piled up boxes in the room, it was exactly the same as when he left, still waiting for him to start taking care of it.
Tomorrow, let’s tidy up tomorrow, it’s too late today, it’s not a dozen or 20 minutes to sort out the luggage and set up a new home. This is a big project, so let’s wait.
Renly dragged his tired and sleepy body, took a bath in the bathroom, then lay on the duvet, groggy and fell asleep, without recognizing the bed or tossing, and fell asleep comfortably. Quiet, peaceful, and dreamless all night. It's been a long time, really long time ago, and it's hard to get a good night's sleep again. He really likes sleeping the most.
