Johansen had a gaffe. The chin drooped slightly, not exaggerated, but it could not be closed, and the face full of dismay, shock, surprise and confusion slowly lingered, lingering and unable to converge.

In the line of sight, Lan Li sat alone in the practice room, with a dumb drum in front of him, leaning against his body, the metronome next to him was clattering, holding the drumstick in both hands, and was concentrating on the practice, and it was not a difficult exercise, but the most basic sixty.

Not hurried, not hurried, calm and powerful.

It can be clearly felt that Lan Li is adjusting his drumming strength and movements, through the subtle adjustments of his wrists, fingertips and body, in the process of hitting, to maintain a more uniform and more stable continuous power output, to ensure that the timbre of each blow is fuller and the sound quality is thicker.

It is a very difficult and very boring practice process.

While practicing, you must maintain a high level of concentration, capture the sound of the metronome and the sound of your own drumming, and at the same time make sure that the rhythm is correct, you must also recognize the difference in the drum beat caused by the change of your strength and control, and then make detailed adjustments little by little.

It is precisely because of this that you can only practice with the most basic sixty. Once the speed increases, the loss of detail becomes rapid and intricate, making it difficult to make accurate judgments, let alone local detail adjustments. Of course, after the basic skills are completely solid, you can slowly increase to 100 or 120 to further deepen your control, and then the difficulty will increase little by little.

Not to mention amateurs, even true professional drummers are now able to calm down and hone their skills slowly. Johansen himself has been through such a phase, and he knows better than anyone that the boredom and tedium, the pain and the torment, can easily break people.

What's more, now that the whole society in the whole era is becoming more and more irritable, it is really not an easy task to polish the basic skills in a down-to-earth manner.

But now, Lanley-Hall?

Johansen's first reaction was, is there a camera recording it? It could be a reality show, or a documentary, and Lan Li is showing his learning process and becoming part of the image again, all about publicity and commercial interests.

Up and down, back and forth, left and right, Johansen searched the whole way, but did not find any clues.

"Your neck is uncomfortable, why do you twist your head like a psychopath, or do you already drink alcohol before night falls?"

A joking voice sounded in the hallway, and Johansen retracted his gaze in a panic, turned his head to look over, and noticed someone coming, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Laura, do you know about this? Someone rented this practice room? Or did he just see that there was no one in the practice room and broke in on his own? Wait, what the hell is going on?"

Johansen was a little incoherent, and his words of inquiry did not have a central content, but he just threw out all the questions in one go, but he did not know what he was asking.

Lara-Frost (Lara-Frost) is a student at New York University's School of Music and a student council officer, and Laura knows about the rental of practice rooms in this school building, and sometimes she is in charge of scheduling and scheduling.

"Who?" said Laura, who took a half-step forward and poked her head out to look, "Oh, Lanli, huh, don't you know? If I'm not mistaken, isn't he taking your class right now? ”

Laura looked surprised, but explained kindly, "Now, in addition to the regular classes for each day, he has booked four hours of practice room time, two hours in the morning and two hours after the afternoon class. ”

Johansen was completely stunned, unable to find a suitable and accurate answer in his mind, no matter how much he thought about it, and subconsciously blurted out, "Why?"

yes, why?

"Ha, I also asked Lan Li this question the day before yesterday. Laura laughed cheerfully," he said, half-jokingly, as he prepared to get into Juilliard but found that his talents were not enough, so he decided to make an impromptu sprint, hoping to make a splash on top of the entrance exam. He's such a humorous guy, isn't he?"

Later, Laura noticed Johansen's look of surprise, and she immediately decoded it, "Don't you think? Or is it homosexual? Every time I talk to Lan Li, he is very kind and friendly, I asked him some opinions about the stage performance, and he gave interesting feedback. It's a pity that he needs to focus on practice, and our conversation time is too short, otherwise there should be more to be gained. ”

Johansen felt that his brain was a little undercapacity, and there were so many unexpected parts that he didn't know where to start to be surprised and where to start asking.

“…… Four hours a day?" after a long pause, Johansen finally blurted out his first thought.

Laura nodded in affirmation, "Four hours a day." ”

Johansen suddenly felt a wave of shameful anger.

Every day, Lan Li was working overtime to train, but he never spoke, and then every time he went to class, he continued to emphasize the basic skills, and taught Lan Li from above; finally, Lan Li's variable speed drum practice performed so well, even perfectly, he thought it was his own credit, but in fact it was not.

Seven days of dumb drum practice, and eight hours of dumb drum practice every day. This professionalism and dedication is absolutely appalling. For any beginner, yes.

"He did it on purpose. Johansen's thoughts broke through the shackles of reason and exploded, "I practiced secretly every day, and then I did well in class, consciously humiliating me and making me look like a clown, where I chattered and talked while he watched my jokes." He just did it on purpose!"

"It's a show, it's a show! God! There's not even the slightest truth in life, it's a performer inside and out. He's looking forward to the current scene, right? expecting someone to be amazed, expecting someone to be ashamed, expecting someone to say again how lofty and glorious his image is!"

Johansen didn't know what he was talking about, he just poured out all his thoughts in one go.

Laura was slightly stunned, Johansen's outburst was completely unforeseen and without any context.

She didn't know what was going on between Johansen and Lan Li, and she didn't know what Johansen's words were referring to, but after a moment's hesitation, she still said what she thought, "...... Johansen, although it is very rude to say this, but the truth is, you and I are nothing, we have no meaning to Lan Li, and it is not important at all, there is no need for him to deliberately target you, against me, and there is no need for him to put on a show for us, we are not as important as we imagined. ”

Johansen's eyes widened as he looked at Laura with rage.

Laura raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, indicating that she had no ill intentions, but she still insisted on her own opinion, "More importantly, Lan Li learned the drum kit, and the basic exercises were all voluntary, not for a certain reckless competition, and then he spent eight hours here learning the drum kit." ”

"I don't think Lan Li is such a person, and he doesn't have to. If he wants to target anyone, I think, in his current position, it's incredibly simple. Laura shrugged her shoulders and said lightly.

But there is still one sentence that is not said: neither she nor him is an important role, and there is no need for Lan Li to target them with great fanfare, any achievement or a work is enough to make them breathless.

After all, this sentence was not spoken, because it was too hurtful and too true.

"But...... But ......" Johansen didn't know what he was holding onto, he just felt a wave of anger and irritability, uncontrollably surging, trying to vent, but it stuck in his throat, and the hot suffocation became clear little by little, almost exploding.

Laura didn't want to argue any longer, and smiled politely at Johansen, "I still have something to do, we'll talk another day." After saying that, Laura turned and left, and walked around the corner of the hallway, she stopped again, and added, "By the way, don't worry about the equipment and lights, before leaving, Lan Li will take care of it." ”

Then, he walked away.

Johansen froze in place, his emotions rushing left and right, unable to find an exit.

In the end, his eyes fell on Lan Li through the window, and Lan Li was still immersed in the practice, concentrated, undistracted, and undisturbed, and his focused eyes were completely immersed in the world of basic skills. The whole practice room forms a small world, isolating everyone else.

It's all about the basics, and it's just about the basics.

This made Johansen feel incomparably small, as Laura said, they had no meaning or any weight to Lan Li, and his calculations only made him look more humble and stupid. The feeling of shame and shame swept over the soles of the feet, and the whole scalp began to go numb, so that the limbs were slightly numb.

Sure enough, Lan Li is a person who can't be liked.

If he could, he wanted to wave his fist now, teach Lan Li a hard lesson, smash that perfect face with punch after punch, uncover the true face hidden under the mask, and vent all his negative emotions.

But that's just fantasy. So, he turned around and strode away.
