After singing the song, Lan Li sat quietly on the high stool. The surging emotions were almost completely out of control, and he needed a little time to calm down.

"One-More-Light" is undoubtedly the most difficult song in the creative process.

Abandon all the cumbersome arrangement, and also abandon all the undulating tones, completely back to the basics, in a calm and gentle way, interpreting the inner sadness and pain, and this is not a folk arrangement, but a rock catharsis and expression, fragmented inspiration comes and goes, and it takes three months to complete.

After the whole song was written, Lan Li really accepted the fact that Heather Cross had left, carried the weight and continued to live his life.

Before today's performance, Lan Li had hesitated and even tried to give up.

He didn't want to perform the song. Because it is too personal and too secretive, the heavy emotions weigh heavily on the chest, and I can barely breathe, as evidenced by the performance just now, and suddenly the emotions that erupt are out of control, as if standing on the stage with a naked body, showing myself unreservedly and defenselessly.

This reminded Lan Li of the performance of the stage play.

For actors – more precisely, for all artistic creators, who must dissect themselves in front of the audience, reveal their souls and thoughts through artistic means, and even present their own privacy and secrets without reservation.

Art comes from life and is higher than life, that's the case. Artists cannot create out of thin air, all artistic creations come from their own experience and understanding, based on their own understanding and reading. Therefore, only actors who really dare to show themselves, without reservation, can present the most moving appearance of the performance.

People are always curious, why are European actors bold and bold, and it can be said that it is completely commonplace to show their bodies?

Because for a truly good actor, the biggest difficulty is to show his mind, mind and soul, to completely present the secrets under the body, and even to face his own nightmares, which is extremely difficult and extremely frightening;

At that moment just now, Lan Li was timid. Because the emotions hidden in the song are too real and too strong, unreservedly showing their vulnerability and sadness, which requires courage and courage.

However, Lan Li finally chose to take the stage.

Not only for the Heather Cross Foundation, not only for the sake of shouldering his obligations and responsibilities as a public figure, but at the same time, deep down, Lan Li also made a choice, "Say you won't give up" and "Another light", choose one of the two songs, and in the end, Lan Li chose the latter.

Because, "saying that you won't give up" is a secret between him and Heather, and he promised. So, the song "Say You Won't Give Up" will be officially released in the future, with all proceeds going to the Heather Cross Foundation, but Lan Li will not perform in any public appearance, and "One Man Concert" is the only one.

This is their agreement.

After the singing, Lan Li lowered his eyelids and let out a long breath, his emotions gradually calmed down, and when he raised his eyes again, the lights of the audience were still shining, thousands of lights gathered on the same stage, surging and scorching, beyond Rockefeller Plaza, the whole of Manhattan Island burst out with dazzling light, enough to make the sun lose its color.

According to the official ratings statistics, this episode of "Today Show" attracted 12 million viewers to watch the live broadcast, of which the "Another Light" performance stage, the number of viewers instantly exceeded 16 million, creating the highest ratings in the past 30 years, breaking countless records, and writing a strong stroke in the history of American live television.

Even Warner Bros. themselves, after witnessing such an achievement, were also dumbfounded, they never expected that in order to cooperate with the "Edge of Tomorrow" publicity, they nodded and agreed to Lan Li's request for charity activities, originally thought it was just a handy act of kindness, earn a reputation, and issue a press release, but it turned out to create the biggest prosperity of the whole year of 2012-

When he nodded in agreement, the deep-pocketed Warner Bros. did not delve into the research and inquiry, and did not know anything about the connection between the event and the "hypegate", and Barry Meyer only heard about the charity activities of the foundation, and with a stroke of the pen, agreed to the planning and cost of the publicity.

Unexpectedly, I unintentionally planted willows and willows.

"Thank you. Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, once again regaining his usual peace and composure, he firmly believed that Heather was a light, hidden in the thousands of lights, "I mean......"

Before the words could continue, a bunch of figures rushed up, and Paul Walker gave Lan Li a big hug, hugged Lan Li tightly, and then slapped Lan Li's back heavily, without too many words, but expressed his support with practical actions.

The hug was so enthusiastic that Lan Li was a little overwhelmed, "Paul, I'm fine. I'm serious, I'm fine. Lan Li patted Paul on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Paul let go of his embrace, his eyes reddening, and said, "Are you sure?"

Lan Li restrained her smile and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I'm sure." ”

Paul unexpectedly hugged Lan Li again, heavily, warmly, and then he gave way to the position, and then Lan Li saw Jennifer Lawrence standing in front of him.

Both eyes fell on each other. It was the first time they had brought up the topic of Heather's death, and it seemed as if centuries had passed, and they involuntarily began to become unfamiliar. Jennifer was a little at a loss, standing in place, her gaze quietly dodging, but she still mustered up the courage to meet Lan Li's gaze.

At this moment, Alexander Skarsgård, Rami Malek, and Donald Glover all stepped forward and hugged Lan Li warmly and friendly, one after another, as if waiting in line for a hug, which made Lan Li laugh dumbly, "Guys, don't hug, you can stop hugging, the audience is not here to see our crew love each other, if they can, they want to see us play live." ”

A joke, the atmosphere of the scene instantly became lively, and then the naughty audience began to wave their mobile phones, so the light created a kind of nightclub snowflake ball effect, and with a little music, everyone can dance.

Everyone laughed.

The crew members gradually left, and finally Lan Li and Jennifer were left, standing face to face, exchanging glances.

Looking at Jennifer who was at a loss, Lan Li took the initiative to step forward, hugged Jennifer gentlemanly and politely, put the microphone aside, and whispered in her ear, "I'm fine." What about you?"

Jennifer has always been a big horn personality, and the mature temperament in the performance also shows a wisdom and sophistication that does not match her youth, but at the end of the day, she is still a young person, even a year younger than Lan Li. In the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, she is a complete novice, helpless and at a loss.

With a hug, Jennifer's eyes swelled up again, and her voice trembled slightly, "I...... I am fine. Don't worry about me. Then, letting go of her embrace, Jennifer wiped the tears from her cheeks and smiled widely, "You know what? Heather has always been steadfast in her belief that you can do it, and she's right." ”

"I know. Lan Li patted Jennifer's shoulder again, "Go over and sit down, we're live now." ”

After finishing speaking, Lan Li followed Jennifer's footsteps and walked towards the sofa of the guest seat, the two hosts had also walked on the stage, Matt-Lauer (Matt-Lauer) took the lead to take the hosting baton, "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful! The only thing I'm curious about is, the mobile phone lights in the audience, whose idea is this? My eyes are almost blind now." What a genius idea!"

"As far as I know, it wasn't anyone's idea, it was just a spontaneous action. Ann-Curry took over the conversation, "Lan Li's live singing was so moving and beautiful that the audience couldn't suppress their inner call, so they raised their mobile phones ......"

The words were interrupted again, because the audience cheered, the mighty cheers reverberated between the high-rise buildings on all sides, and the continuous echoes reverberated fiercely above the eardrums.

"Lan Li, Lan Li, we need your help. Matt stopped Lan Li, who was about to sit down, and greeted him repeatedly, "Our live broadcast needs to continue, so the audience needs to be calm and calm." ”

At this time, Lan Li had completely calmed down, all the touching of the song remained in the depths of his heart, and his attention returned to today's event again. As Lan Li said, this is a hype, and the Heather Cross Foundation needs more attention in order to be able to help more people, so he has to get into the work.

This is not an easy task, but the performances in London's West End over the past period have finally transformed Lan Li.

"Maybe you need to tell everyone, be careful that your phone is out of battery, they will ......" Lan Li teased lightly, and before he could even finish speaking, there was an undulating exclamation from the scene, and then you could see that the vast lights went out one after another, disappearing quickly like a tide, and the sunlight shrouded in the sky fell again.

However, the sunlight was no match for the heat of the lights, and the raging wind was surging in, and I couldn't help but feel a little cool, goosebumps appeared on the surface of my skin, and reason slowly returned to my brain.

Witnessing such a magical scene, Matt and Ann both laughed, "Sure enough, it's Lan Li." ”
