Chapter 1271 The finishing touch
Myers looked at Anson and plucked a string:
Buzz!
Those eyes, movements, and gestures are clearly sending a warning to Anson. Are you sure? Are you ready? Can you bear it?
And Anson's response was a series of dazzling and flowing drum beats, overwhelmingly venting towards Miles, giving a dignified response.
Miles shook his head slightly and plucked the strings again:
Boom!
The second warning seems conservative, but the power of the strings is obviously fuller and more powerful, giving a positive response in a subtle way.
Unfortunately, Anson still did not stop, and the drum beat that was comparable to a midsummer rainstorm swept forward to the next level. Not only was it full of tricks, but it was also full of energy, and he smashed down densely.
Besides, Connor and Lily were both playing drums and eating melons and watching the show with great interest.
And Reese was even more excited. She swayed her skirt, walked lightly, and her mischievous attitude seemed like she could no longer suppress her excitement.
Bang bang bang. Buzz buzz.
One comes and one goes.
Dong-dong-dong. Boom boom boom.
You push, I block.
Then, Miles finally took action, and slapped the strings with his right hand seemingly casually and roughly -
not plucking, but tapping.
Rhythm and rhyme are intertwined, and unexpectedly burst out with a momentum that is not inferior to Anson. He rushes forward without giving an inch, and the tit-for-tat tension completely spreads.
Anson is the same, just like hitting an African instrument, his hands are staggered on the strings and the piano case. He uses different materials and different strengths to create completely different musical characteristics. He plays with the simplest instrument. Produce the most beautiful music.
Watching Anson and Myers actually transform string instruments into percussion instruments. It is different from ordinary performances. The two of them are playing and partying. The confrontation between you and me blends wonderfully. together.
My heart is racing and my blood is boiling.
Obviously it is just playing a musical instrument, but it embodies the feeling of martial arts master Huashan discussing swords. The overflowing heat wave makes people's blood rush and sweat dripping.
Reese couldn't control herself anymore and started dancing forgetfully——
It turns out that this is what a live performance feels like.
Now, Reese finally understands why Anson performed incognitoly in a New York bar; Reese finally understands why Anson welcomed her with enthusiasm when she asked to visit the recording studio.
The answer is right here.
The barrier she has been searching for but has never found a way to is right here.
To feel, to experience, to enjoy.
Not just the pitch, tone, and lyrics, but also the band members, the audience, and her own soul hidden behind the songs.
Everything is part of the performance.
Only by truly listening to the sound of each part, and only by truly understanding the existence of each part, can we capture the essence of the live performance——
This is why director Mangold insists that all performances in the movie require actors The reason for going into battle in person is that this is the only way for the actors to find the connection point between real characters and artistic creation and integrate into it. It is also the only way for the film to delve into the artistic lives of Johnny Cash and June Carter.
The greater the ambition, the greater the difficulty.
No wonder Reese has been lingering at the door, but can never find the place to finish.
After going around and around for a long time, Reese finally found the key.
It seems that Anson has already solved the mystery and knew Reese's confusion, so he specially created opportunities to guide her to find her own answer.
Sure enough, Anson is worthy of being Anson - he created the album "Midsummer Midnight", which came out of nowhere and shocked everyone with his skills. The sales and awards were all harvested, proving his talent.
However, this is not the whole point. The key point is the stage performance at the Grammy Awards. That performance proved Anson’s understanding of music and the stage——
A true genius.
Reese believes that it is definitely not a coincidence that Anson chose "Walking with Song" as his next work, and this actor is definitely not a flower vase in people's eyes.
Everything is just as she imagined: this cooperation is worth looking forward to.
Even before entering the set, Reese can't wait.
Footsteps were light and dancing happily. After Anson and Miles played the piano, Reese sang loudly again and was completely in the state at this time.
“That day I walked into a bar. I put a coin into the jukebox to listen to it. I didn’t know which song to listen to. I didn’t wait for the choice. I just put a coin into the card slot and played it. Jukebox Blues”
Inadvertently, Reese revealed a little of her madness and actually started spinning on the spot.
Spinning, jumping, she closed her eyes.
The hem of the skirt is flying, the sky is spinning, but for a brief moment, I return to the simplicity and purity of childhood, unexpectedly capturing the dazzling and gorgeousness of Joan Carter's soul——
Maybe, This is Joan Carter's background.
Faced with suffering and pain, some people choose to escape, using alcohol, drugs, cigarettes or gambling. The target is not the point, the point is that they are immersed in those things, briefly escaping from reality and diving into an illusory world. , temporarily forgetting yourself and temporarily forgetting the pain, but it will never solve the problem.
Take Johnny Cash, for example. He was able to solve other people's problems but could never face the mess of his own life.
Some people choose to break through head-on and seek more possibilities with a positive and optimistic attitude. Maybe they still cannot solve the problem because there are too many unsolvable problems in reality, but at least they dare to face it and dare to Live in reality, dare to chase your dreams, and explore more possibilities.
For example, Joan Carter, the problems she faces are no less than Johnny, but she is the adult in this relationship.
Suddenly, Reese was curious, why did June Carter fall in love with Johnny Cash?
Unfortunately, she didn’t have the chance to ask Joan Carter face to face.
Inadvertently, Reese noticed a figure with a smile from the corner of her sight, easily grabbing attention even if it was not in the focus of sight.
Before he realized it, he looked over. With a bright smile on his face, his eyes met——
That was Anson.
Handsome, handsome and unrestrained.
Very different from Ryan Phillippe.
Although Ryan is also a "handsome guy", he has a childishness about him, mixed with an innocent and innocent boyishness, showing a bit of innocence.
However, Anson is different. It is a mature and stable charm that has experienced weathering. The temperament that has settled after washing away the lead is quietly blooming.
Not dazzling, not gorgeous, but always easily catching the eye inadvertently. The elegance between the eyebrows has already surpassed the meaning of the skin.
A glance, passing by in a hurry.
Look again, get stuck in it.
The eyes collided in the air, the sound of the heart hitting the chest roared above the eardrums, the melody was still circling, singing became an instinct, and in that brief moment, the boundary between reality and illusion was confused.
Joan Carter obeyed her instincts and sang loudly. The joy and happiness in her chest turned into a smile blooming at the corners of her mouth, and she sang happily and openly.
“I’ve played a lot of jukeboxes, probably more than anyone in this town, but that beat I heard for the first time could make the night spin.”
