135 Ophelia
Hope slowed down, like a cat, lest he alarm Lan Li in front of him, and then stood next to the guitar case, took out a ten-dollar card from his pocket, threw it into the case, and then obediently put his hands behind his back, nervously and nervously fell his eyes on Lan Li again, but he was a little shy, and he didn't dare to look directly into Lan Li's eyes, only dared to secretly look at the bony, wide and slender palm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly, the peripheral vision caught Lan Li's smile, and when he looked up, he suddenly crashed into Lan Li's bright eyes, and the smile like the bright moon was gently rippling. The heart suddenly stopped, and Hope avoided his eyes in a panic, and even stopped breathing.
"Huh. A chuckle leaked out, Hope peeked at it, and then saw that the smile in Lan Li's eyes extended to the corners of his mouth, and the soft lip flaps outlined a wanton arc, and the world brightened.
The melody suddenly stopped, and William and Graham stopped, looked at Lan Li, then at Hope, then at the golden trophy in the case, and finally at Lan Li again, their eyes were full of incredulity, and they couldn't even tell whether it was a dream or reality.
"It seems that we have some onlookers. Ed-Sheeran bent down to thank everyone and said, "Thank you for the accompaniment of this song, so it's your turn to show your hand, how about it?"
Lan Li did have many songs in his head, but none of them seemed to fit the atmosphere of the night, and suddenly the face of the girl in the dining car flashed in his mind, Ophelia, he remembered the name, because this was the name of the heroine in William Shakespeare's most famous tragedy "Hamlet", it seems that the girl's parents must have liked Shakespeare very much.
Tonight's excitement, tonight's brilliance, tonight's wantonness, tonight's miscellaneous, tonight's moving, tonight's no regrets...... All of them, turning into a melody, jumping lightly above your fingertips. Lan Li raised his head, "Do you have a tambourine bell?"
Ed bent down, flipped over the side, and pulled out a colorful handbell, "Is it okay for the African tribe?"
Lan Li showed a big smile, "No problem. Come on, give me a beat!"
Ed was a little surprised, but didn't ask much, "Of course." They didn't exchange names, they didn't even communicate at all, but there was a kind of musical understanding between them, and then he started beating the tambourine bell in his hand, looking for a random rhythm, and then a voice came from the side, "Very good, just keep this rhythm and follow my keyboard sound!"
Bang!
The neat and steady tambourine bell was like a military step, powerful and powerful, and the excitement of the blood boiled overflowed in the relaxed beat, and William couldn't help but follow along with the rhythm of the beat, and met it with the rhythmic sound of his palm.
"Very good!" Lan Li showed a big smile and gave affirmation, which encouraged William, and the applause became louder and louder, Graham and Hope saw this, and hurriedly joined in the rhythm of the beating, which made Lan Li's eyes flash with a satisfied look, nodded again and again, he simply raised his hands high, "Is there anyone else?
At this time, the people who were watching from the bar next to them finally couldn't hold back any longer, and four or five people came out one after another, and someone raised their voices and asked, "Man, how are you playing?"
Ed simply strode out, raised the tambourine bell in his hand, struck it hard, and shouted, "Everyone follow the beat!"
Bang! Bang!
The uniform rhythm actually has momentum, even if there is no melody, but it still makes people faintly a little blood boiling, at this moment, the keyboard sound in Lan Li's hand hit down heavily, a simple tone, just a key, Lan Li opened his mouth and sang, "Ah, ah, I ...... when I was young"
The warm voice with a hint of imperceptible hoarseness fermented under the neon lights, gently tugging at the heartstrings.
"I, I, ought to have been wiser, but I don't feel the slightest remorse, and you don't have the expectations you had hoped for. There didn't seem to be too many rippling keyboard sounds, but in the beat, it burst out with a rising momentum, and involuntarily, Ed's rhythm was slightly faster by half a beat, and the excitement of the blood flowing faster was stirring in the air.
Suddenly, the rhythm of the keyboard under Lan Li's fingertips became fast, the melody like the tinkling of spring water rushed down, the slender fingers were dazzling, and the short eight beats made the emotions burst out suddenly, and then stopped abruptly, so wonderful that it was difficult to express in words.
Ed didn't even have time to react, it was over in an eight-beat, and he looked at Lan Li dumbfounded, and then Lan Li laughed, which made Ed also uncontrollable, he gave Lan Li a look, "Now I'm ready, I won't be in a hurry next time." ”
"I, I, find a new love here, he, he, as if he were on top of the world, but I cannot feel the slightest remorse, and you will not rebuke me. ”
The wonderful lyrics make people scratch their heads, but they make people savor some differences, as if they ...... It's like Shakespeare's poetry. This is naturally reminiscent of "Cleopatra", the inheritance of the unified style.
In those simple words, a faint sadness and regret could be felt, he hurt her so badly, he knew it was wrong, but he refused to repent, she was hurt so badly, she knew that he no longer belonged to her, but she did not reprimand. In love, the person who gives is always fragile, let go of himself, let go of his defense, put down his weapons, as long as the other party is willing, he can hurt himself to the fullest, and she still has no regrets.
Tragic and poignant, as epic as magnificent.
The keys began to grow thick and heavy, and Lan Li's song spread its wings and flew wildly, "Oh Ophelia, you have haunted me since the beginning of the century, and oh Ophelia, it is God who makes fools like me fall in love. ”
The touching voice, the simple lyrics, caught off guard, hit Hope in the heart fiercely. Ophelia, the Ophelia in "Hamlet", the innocent, kind, innocent and romantic Ophelia, the Ophelia who is desperate for love. …… That heartbreaking, even more desirable Ophelia.
Even if Hamlet "went crazy" because of his father's death and his mother's remarriage, and scolded Ophelia, she really thought that Hamlet only behaved like this because he was crazy, and she felt sorry for it, but Hamlet did not expect that his venting would cause the girl's grief and even despair.
Hamlet, blinded by hatred, kills Ophelia's father, and after learning the news, she can't bear such a blow, and Ophelia chooses to end her own life.
The sight was filled with tears in an instant, and in Lan Li's weeping song, was that from Hamlet's regret and regret?
The galloping sound of the piano keys is like a wave to vent down, the turbulent melody will vent the inner entanglement, melancholy, regret, and pain heartily, Ed did not speed up his drum, but naturally stopped the drum, stood in place, quietly looked at the Lan Li who was immersed in the melody, an eight-beat melody is as clear as spring water, translucent as moonlight, and a faint sadness is in the rhythm of joy to the extreme, which makes people cry.
This time, there was no abrupt stop, the song completely burst out along the light and lively rhythm, gradually climbing upward, and all emotions exploded at this moment.
"But I have nothing, and you have big dreams, and you are about to set sail, but my soul is numb, and your soul is so noble. ”
The hoarse voice drew a graceful arc under the extreme high notes, like lightning gliding across the night sky, and in an instant the whole world became transparent, and the ups and downs of emotions were completely out of control in the rushing melody.
He is so small, struggling to pursue his so-called justice and so-called dreams, but he does not hesitate to hurt a noble soul, and at the cost of blood on his hands, he has succeeded in reaching the other side of revenge, but is it really worth it? What did he miss and what did he lose?
Is this talking about Hamlet and Ophelia, or Hollywood's trophies and dreams?
How many people have lost themselves in chasing their dreams, and even do not hesitate to turn their dreams into bargaining chips, just to achieve supreme glory. But when success really came, I began to lose myself, unable to find my dreams, freedom, or the self I once was.
It was all so ironic, the Emmy was just around the corner, the glittering trophy was still in the guitar case, and yet he was sitting in the street singing loudly, like a bard, more like a tramp. Hamlet misses his Ophelia, so what is it that needs to be sacrificed to get to the top of Hollywood?
The voice that is stretched to the extreme, the melody that is cheerful to the extreme, the lyrics that are sad to the extreme, and the musical notes that are lonely to the extreme...... Suddenly, it calmed down, all the complexity returned to simplicity, and Lan Li's voice was hoarse in the depths, and he hummed softly,
"'Honey, I love you,' those were her last words. ”
The warm tears broke the embankment completely, and it was not even clear whether she was crying for Ophelia or regretting Hamlet.
As a masterpiece, "Hamlet" has been analyzed from countless angles, but everyone agrees that Hamlet died for justice after all, and died a great death, which is embarrassing and regrettable, but also admirable. But now, Lan Li's singing voice tells a different story, a story that belongs to Ophelia.
Hamlet missed, and still missed. It's like Cleopatra.
The rhythm sounded again, the melody started from the beginning again, from soothing to high/high, from lonely to cheerful, and Lan Li's singing voice hummed repeatedly, "Oh, Ophelia, you haunt me like a drug/addiction, oh Ophelia, it is God who makes fools like me fall in love." Oh Ophelia, you have haunted me since the beginning of the century, and oh Ophelia, it is God who makes fools like me fall in love. ”
Happiness and sorrow, suddenly embraced each other.
