195 Misfortune

Lan Li could feel George's sincerity and focus, and the devotion and paranoia were moving, but that didn't mean he would change his lifestyle, he would be engrossed in his job as an actor, he would be fully engaged in extreme sports such as surfing, skydiving, and rock climbing, and of course, when the time came, he would be willing to go into the studio again and try the daunting challenge of recording an entire album.

He could feel George's urgency, but he didn't have any intention of changing his next plan, so he pointed to the figure standing in front of the bar, "I think Ed is not bad, what do you say?" This is the truth, Ed Sheeran is indeed an excellent music creator, maybe a little immature now, but his excellence is undoubted.

George was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the words had already rushed to his throat, and he thought about it: Ed did show good potential in the performance just now, but compared with Lan Li, Ed is really too young. "How old are you?" said George, frowning slightly.

Lan Li smiled dumbly, "Does this matter?" After speaking, Lan Li stood up and said politely, "Then I won't disturb your old friends' party, I hope you enjoy a good night here." Then he turned away without any fuss, leaving George and Stanley staring at each other.

Lan Li 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 that as a British, you didn't care." "You can't legally drink alcohol until you're twenty-one in the U.S., but in the U.K., the official legal drinking age is six.

Ed picked up the beer in his hand and looked at it twice, only then did he realize that he had only taken two sips, and couldn't help laughing, but in the face of ridicule, he didn't know how to respond, so he could only scratch his head and pull the corners of his mouth jerkyly.

"Someone is looking for you there. Lan Li pointed in the direction of Stanley and George, took a sip of the beer in front of him, and let out a long and pleasant breath.

"Who?" Ed turned his head to look over, then looked at Lan Li with a question mark on his face, "What are they looking for me for?"

Lan Li shrugged, "You shouldn't ask me, you should ask them." He patted Ed on the shoulder, "Go over and let someone else wait, it's not polite." ”

"Oh, oh. Ed was stunned, then reacted, put his beer down, and hurriedly trotted over.

"What are you doing with George?" asked Neil, leaning his head as he wiped his beer glass.

Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, "Do you know George?"

Neil's big smile was the answer, "How? What is the outcome of the discussion? Is your album finally on the agenda? Can we see your album in the record store?"

Lan Li took a slow sip of his beer, "I'm going to the Telluride Film Festival next week." ”

The high anticipation fell heavily, and Neil suddenly let out a wail of disappointment, "Oh!" and rolled his eyes speechlessly, glaring at Lan Li with resentment and disdain, but all of them bumped into the gentlemanly smile, and returned in vain, which really discouraged Neil.

In the middle of talking and laughing, Ed returned to the bar, his blank expression didn't seem to have figured out the situation, and his steps came deeper and lower, and the appearance of stumbling made people can't help but worry - Ed came back much faster than expected, and it was less than five minutes before and after.

"Ed, how's it going?" Lan Li handed over Eddard's beer.

Ed took the beer in a daze, subconsciously poured it into his mouth, but couldn't stop at all, grunted the whole beer, put the cup on the table heavily, let out a long breath, and the whole person became light. "Wow. He sighed softly, and then his emotions slowly boiled, and he couldn't help but sigh again, "Wow!" The look in 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, but received different reactions, Neil glanced at Lan Li with a look of disgust, and Lan Li showed a big smile and took the initiative to say "congratulations".

Ed finally came to his senses at this point, "I got the record contract!" he turned to look at Lan Li and said excitedly, "George said, I can go into the studio next week, and then record and write at the same time, and finish the whole album according to my ideas." ”

In fact, Ed started recording in 2005, when he was only 14 years old. However, before that, it could only be regarded as a small fight, either a single or an independent record, and the published copies were very limited, but they could not be sold, and they were piled up in warehouses to collect dust. Before coming to Los Angeles, he also signed to an independent record label, but the relationship between the two sides was so bad that he decided to leave the company and choose to come to the United States to look for opportunities.

Unexpectedly, he stayed in Los Angeles for more than three months and found nothing, but because of Lan Li's relationship, he unexpectedly came to New York, and in just one week, he won his first record contract - George said that he would take him into the studio next week to complete the "top" recording, and then go to Warner Music to see how it happened. If nothing else, he should sign with one of Warner Music's labels.

This is definitely a leap forward for Ed's music career, a leap from the ground up.

"Ahh

That excited mood also infected Lan Li, and he couldn't help but laugh too.

But Ed still didn't feel enough, and couldn't control himself and shouted, "Lan Li! Lan Li!"

He would never have expected that his musical dreams would change drastically because of an actor, if Lan Li hadn't gone to the convenience store to call that day, if he hadn't sung "Cleopatra" that day, if he hadn't chosen to go out and perform on the night of the Emmys...... So, is this not going to happen? So, where is his future?

"Huh. Lan Li laughed briskly and nodded repeatedly. Even he could not have guessed that Ed's music career would start in the pioneer village.

However, taking a step back, Lan Li was a little unsure. He's a butterfly from the Amazon, destined to flap his wings and change history – or his dream would never have come true, because in 2017 there wasn't an actor named "Blue Rite Hall", but where will his little butterfly influence go on others?

Lan Li can be sure that Ed still achieved success in his previous life, a huge success, but what he doesn't know is how Ed succeeded, he can only be sure that Ed should have found an opportunity in Los Angeles, but now Ed's opportunity happened in New York, in the pioneer village, so whether Ed's future trajectory has changed, and whether it will be different from the previous life.

None of this is known.

Lan Li was a little excited, and a little apprehensive. Things are drifting off track step by step, and it's certain that there are good things and bad things, but the unknown is the joy of life, isn't it?

"Thank you, thank you. Ed's joy couldn't find a way to vent at all, he didn't know what Lan Li was thinking, he only knew that Lan Li's invitation opened the door for him. Perhaps, they had just met, or maybe it was just their second meeting, but fate was so wonderful, wasn't it? Not to mention, a song "Cleopatra" and a song "Ophelia" were enough to make Ed and Lan Li friends.

Ed looked left and right, wanting to hug Lan Li, but this was not the usual way of congratulations in the British, and finally picked up the beer glass - and then saw the beer glass that had been drunk empty by himself just now, and then it was embarrassing, Ed and Lan Li looked at each other, and both of them laughed.

"Neil, please, another beer, okay?" Ed handed over the beer glass, "Tonight is a great start, so let's celebrate." But Neil showed a disgusted expression, and reluctantly refused to pour the wine, and Ed didn't care, laughing heartily, "For that song '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 raised his voice, and then Neil and Ed both looked at Lu Li, "yes, shouldn't it be for New York?"

The song just now, Lu Li named it "Los Angeles", the main melody inspiration is the City of Angels, he shrugged his shoulders, raised his beer glass, and shouted, "For London!" He is British, but also Londoner, which is not a secret in the pioneer village.

Such a ridicule instantly made everyone laugh.

As the night wore on, George Strand left, and Lan Li didn't stay long, celebrating with Ed for a while, and returning home before the Pioneer Village closed. Looking at the stacked boxes in the room, exactly the same as when he left, still waiting for him to start taking care of them.

Tomorrow, let's tidy up tomorrow, it's too late today, packing up the luggage and decorating the new home is not something that can be completed in ten or twenty minutes, this is a big project, so let's wait.

Lan Li dragged his tired and sleepy body, went to the bathroom to take a bath, then lay down in the quilt, and fell asleep in a groggy state, without recognizing the bed or tossing, and slept comfortably. Quiet, peaceful, dreamless all night, long time gone, really long time gone, finally able to sleep well again, he really likes to sleep the most.
