The three-minute video soon ended. William sat on the chair, but his thoughts slowly settled down. The excitement, impetuousness, confusion, and anxiety just now seemed to vanish.
There was a wonderful emotion in the chest, some lost, some lonely, some regret. "I won't miss it again, I will miss the love of my life. When I die alone, I won't miss it again." Those words like poetry, gently beating in the heart, turned into a loud bang like a drum Reverberating in the depths of the soul, the suffocation in the grief slowly spread.
Each of us is Cleopatra, in the script written by God, wearing a skin in a costume, playing a role in other people's eyes, becoming a supporting role in other people's stories, but gradually lost and forgotten The original form of the soul. So, we missed our dreams, our freedom, our lifelong love, and we stood in the same place in despair, letting regrets and regrets bite our hearts, wanting to make some changes, clenching our fists, and finally letting go. We miss our life, but when death comes, we will never miss it again.
Inexplicably, his eyes were wet, but the corners of his mouth drew a shallow arc. The embarrassment of crying and laughing was absurd, but it was so real.
Before his brain could react, William clicked the play button again, then leaned back in his chair quietly, watching the computer screen quietly, enjoying the performance quietly, his fingertips seemed to be able to touch the glimpse of time flowing, Magnificent, yet delicate and graceful. The flying musical symbols, flapping their wings, landed lightly on their shoulders, lest they disturb the loneliness in my thoughts.
The video is over again, William is still sitting quietly, on the screen, Renly is holding the guitar, with a light and calm smile on the corner of his mouth, his fingertips resting on the strings, the lazy orange light seems to be extremely warm , sprinkled down extremely softly, and even the time became real.
"Do you think..." Graham's voice came from his ear, and he paused for a moment hesitantly, "Do you think it looks like that rich young master is telling his heart?"
William was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled happily, feeling that Graham had captured the verve accurately, but it was fleeting, he shook his head, shook his head firmly, "It's not like. It should be said, Renly He can indeed capture the shadow of the young master, but it is far more than that, his temperament..." William tried to find a suitable word to describe, but found that the language was so pale that the words could only stop abruptly here, "No. Same."
Originally, William just wanted to check Renly's information, but he didn't expect it but unexpectedly gained. Now he can't tell whether it was because of Renly that he fell in love with the song just now, or because of the song just now. He likes Renly, but what he can be sure of is that tonight's "War in the Pacific" really brings new discoveries, exciting new discoveries.
"You said, who sang the song just now?" William asked curiously. The song just now has a power that moves people's hearts. People can't help but want to indulge in it and savor it carefully. Every musical note, every word.
Graham shrugged, "Isn't there a name here? Just search and see." Seeing that William opened Google and was about to search, Graham stopped him, "'Cleopatra' is Cleopatra / After the name, you can't find it by searching directly, go to Amazon or iTunes and search it."

Seeing William getting busy, Graham thought of another thing, "It's no wonder that this video didn't have any hits, it's actually a ballad."
Now in 2010, even the rural market is shrinking further, not to mention jazz, soul, bluegrass, and folk. Looking at Billboard's singles chart now, country is still a major hegemon. In the top 100 list, you can see that fifteen or even twenty songs are country, but maybe the highest ranking is only more than twenty, winning the championship. It's almost impossible.
Therefore, there is no market for folk songs at all. Renly put this video on YouTube, and it was flooded by the video stream in a blink of an eye. How could anyone find out.
"I found it!" William exclaimed in surprise, "It was originally created by Renly himself!" William pointed to the single on iTunes, which was written very clearly in the information, "Lyrics, Renly-Hall; Eli-Hall; Arrangement, Vacancy". This is clearly a single recorded by the indie musician himself, without even being arranged by the sound engineer.
Without any hesitation, William directly paid ninety-nine cents and purchased the download. He was so excited that he couldn't help rubbing his palms, but he still couldn't express his inner excitement, "I want to share it, share it with the post. The rest of us know."
Quickly returning to the post in the Yahoo community, the number of floors just now was still more than 800, and it has already exceeded 2,000 in a blink of an eye. The rate of increase is really scary. It can also be seen that "War in the Pacific" will premiere after tonight's broadcast. The discussion was heated up.
William first opened a separate post, "Master in the 'Pacific War': Renly-Hall", and then briefly described his findings in the post, and attached the video link of the YouTube, after posting the post , and then went back to the post just now, copied and pasted it and replied again, which was considered satisfactory.
Unexpectedly, the post has just been published, and someone has joined the discussion.
"I was searching for the information of this rich young master just now, but I didn't expect it to be found here!"
"Is this the young master who couldn't join the army because of a heart murmur? His eyes are so good-looking, every look and smile is a joke, it's so rare!"
"My God, my God! I finally found the organization!"
"He actually can sing? What the hell? Is he a singer or an actor?"
"There is no information about this newcomer on the Internet. Where did he come from?"
"Does he have any backstage? At the premiere yesterday, both Hanks and Spielberg praised him? Is he the family of some entertainer?"
"Who? Who are you talking about? Which rich young master? Why do I have no impression at all, are you talking about John Basilone?"
…
The discussion quickly began to spread, and it was the night of the "Pacific War", which was just beginning to ferment.
After the first episode of "War in the Pacific" ended, it became the hottest topic of discussion for the next 72 hours without any suspense. The popular post in the Yahoo community received more than 100,000 responses during this period. Yahoo! Do not block the floor to avoid the speed of opening the post from being affected, and then open a second discussion thread.
Even the discussion thread about Renly received more than 10,000 discussions in three days, and the popularity was really high.
However, the audience showed more reservations about the departure of the "Pacific War", and there were endless accusations of slow rhythm, fragmented clues, and vague themes, especially considering the reputation of "Band of Brothers", people's harshness is the first It reached its peak after the episode aired.
The real-time rating on IMDB is the best portrayal. With nearly 6,000 ratings, the score of "Pacific War" has temporarily settled at 7.7 points, not to mention the 9.5 points of "Band of Brothers", even eight points. It's definitely a Waterloo. It can also be seen from this that the audience's high expectations have not been met.
Of course, this is only for the first episode, especially the first broadcast. Many people's impulsive venting evaluations are often lower than expected. As the episodes are broadcast, this score is bound to change.
Corresponding to the audience's word of mouth, it is the praise of professional film critics. The comprehensive evaluation of 32 media is as high as 86 points, which not only equals the 86 points of "Band of Brothers" in the past, but also in the subdivided score. In terms of it, it is slightly ahead - 27 media gave positive reviews, five media gave mixed reviews, and there were zero negative reviews, two less than the original "Band of Brothers" middle reviews.
"Time" Weekly gave it a perfect score of 100, "This is a work that is cruel enough and delicate enough. The drama shows incredible depth in character building, which is different from the 'Band of Brothers' on the fate of the group and war on the war. Cruelly, 'War in the Pacific' will plunge the audience into the fate of every soldier: what should they do when they return from the battlefield? Provided they can."
The New York Times rated it nine out of 10. "It's not a perfect episode, but it's ambitious, taut, intricate, delicate and profoundly laid out as a blueprint for war: a war that's not just about life and Death is still about the torment of every soul. Spielberg and Hanks join forces again, revealing their thinking on different aspects of war."
It is worth mentioning that "Entertainment Weekly" focused its attention on the actors.
"Obviously, this is a work about soldiers, and the three protagonists have been carefully chosen. The psychological shock of Robert Letzie in the first episode makes people wonder, where will he go next? And John - What will Basilone and Eugene Sledge experience? In the first appearance of the three actors, Renly Hall, who has no acting experience, brought an amazing performance, which made people feel good about the follow-up. higher expectations."
Correspondingly, "Entertainment Weekly" gave an evaluation of 86 points.
It can be seen that the opinions of the audience and the media are subtly different, which also attracts more attention to the "Pacific War", and people can't help but start to wonder, what will the follow-up trend of this work be? Will audience and media views change? Will the three lead actors bring surprises
Among them, the name "Renly Hall" benefited from the emphasis of Tom and Steven on the night of the premiere, and successfully stood out and emerged. Although his role in the first episode was very limited, the initial influence The force was not obvious; but as time passed, the name was mentioned more and more frequently, and things were deviating from the original track, even Tom, who advocated the adoption of Renly, did not expect it.
The impact has arrived!
