Chapter 151: Wonderful Fantasy

In order to prevent Greta from committing suicide while she was away, the male girlfriend forcibly dragged her to a small bar, and then pushed her onto the stage.

Greta came to the tavern, and a drunken Dan staggered here.

The next day, Dan slept on the couch in his apartment and was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone.

"Did you mean when you said you were going to sign me last night?" said Greta.

"Who are you?" Dan.

"You're not, aren't you?" Greta rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Just kidding, of course I'm serious. Dan said with a hazy sleepy eye.

Greta finally smiled for the first time in recent memory.

In order to meet his partner, Dan rushes into his estranged wife's house, which is actually his own home, and after washing up and dressing up, Dan and Greta arrive at the record label.

Because Greta didn't have a demo, she had to play the guitar for Dan's partner on the spot, but the other party didn't buy it, "I don't think it's good, maybe it's her attitude......"

"What the hell do you want, man. Dan spread his hands, "So you want a teenage idol idiot like Aaron Carter?"

After arguing with his partner to no avail, Dan had to throw off his arms and go it alone, and he didn't do any demos, let's record the album directly!

I don't have the money to rent a recording studio, so go to his recording studio and we'll record outside!

"Find a place for a song. ""Under the bridge in the East End. "The top floor of the Empire State Building!" "Boat on the lake of Central Park." "Chinatown, St. John's Cathedral, the subway, and Fu--ing Harlem Ley!"

When the audience in the theater hears, "Let's dedicate it to this beautiful, crazy and chaotic New York." I couldn't help but whimper secretly.

The two of them just did it, so they gathered people to convert Dan's car into a mobile recording studio.

"We need musicians, boring and miserable musicians!" Dan's words made everyone in the theater laugh, boring and miserable is not only musicians, but also filmmakers!

With his many years of connections, Dan also found all kinds of music performers one by one when he couldn't give money. Among them are the top students of the Manhattan School of Music, and there are also miserable pianists who rely on piano accompaniment for children.

Day by day, the crew is ready, the performance is full day by day, and to the sound of dynamic music, Dan takes Greta to a mansion on Long Island.

And when the owner of the mansion appeared, everyone was shocked, it was actually a legend in the rap industry - braggart daddy!

I don't know how many fans there are about this New York hip-hop legend, and this is probably his first time in a mainstream Hollywood movie.

Bragging Daddy plays himself, but this is a close friend who has a lifelong friendship with Dan, and when he hears Dan's difficulties, he pats his chest and pays out of his own pocket to help Dan hire a musician.

In the end, the bragging dad also said to Greta: "Look at this man's villa, sports car, etc., it is because of him (Dan) that I am what I am now, and I will never forget it." ”

"Someone like him, after a few years of fame, people don't remember who he is or think he has anything to respect. ”

Then the recording officially began.

Dan and Greta went to an alley in New York to record their first song, and it wasn't even a concrete floor, it was a dirt road, okay?

As for their music props, they are all sorted, scattered and worn, and Greta's recording microphone is even wrapped around stockings to act as a filter, haha!

You must know that the United States is legally forbidden to dry clothes outdoors, and in this nameless alley in New York, the residents on it are watching their recordings, and the old lady is drying clothes, which is simply a very down-to-earth New York street style.

"When you fall asleep, I really go for a walk outside......"

Guitars, electric guitars, cellos, violins, and drums are like New York from all over the world, and this small outdoor "recording studio" exudes chaos and fresh life, just like New York!

During this period, Dan also took Greta to pick up his daughter Violet from school, and Greta and Violet hit it off at first sight, Violet was amazed by Greta's intuition that was comparable to a psychic medium, and was also "taught" by Greta to learn how to fish boys.

"Then you'll have to find a way to get him to ask you out. "Greta.

"Yes, but how?" Violet was only fifteen years old, of course, confused.

"Ell, first of all, don't dress like a casual girl. ”

"I thought it would look sexier, it's an American costume. ”

"yes, it's sexy, very, very sexy. But it doesn't seem to be any mystery at all, you know?"

Greta's words are simply deep in the hearts of these New York "public intellectuals", who have always looked down on the overly straightforward aesthetics of Los Angeles.

"So, we're not going shopping?"

"Good!" Violet nodded directly.

When they first met, Greta almost captured Violet. After returning home, Greta invited Violet to participate in their Thursday recording, and Violet was delighted.

After a period of struggle, Dan also invited his estranged wife to bring Violet to participate in the recording.

At the end of the day, Dan and Greta settle dinner at a roadside restaurant, Greta, who became emotional, casually preached a few words about Dan and Violet's father-daughter relationship.

Dan threw the money straight and left.

Greta who caught up was sprayed by Dan in the face, it turned out that it was not Dan who gave up the family because of his career, but because when he was taking care of the children at home, his wife who was on a business trip to Europe cheated on someone, and even planned to abandon his family and children and elope with him.

It's just that the other party regretted it afterwards and completely cut off contact, and the so-called elopement became a joke, and Dan's life was the same from then on.

When Greta reconciles with Dan after learning the truth, it's time for the two of them to wear headphones and listen to each other's iPod playlists roaming around New York at night.

Under the shooting of the hand-held camera, the slight shaking has a bit of the realistic sense of pseudo-documentary.

And under Lance Arkod's debugging, the New York night shot in low light is like a dream.

You must know that as soon as the "historical" "Lost in Translation" Park was released, it shocked everyone, among which Lance Arcod's cinematography played a great role.

And now, with the audience immersed in such a dreamy and mysterious movie world several years in advance, everyone was suddenly shocked, and the calm, delicate picture appeared extremely sensual, forming a flowing beauty, coupled with beautiful music and accompanying characters.

The whole movie is alive and fantastical all at once, and of course, this fantasy of Sid is very different from Peter Jackson's.

All the audience in the theater looked at the big screen in amazement, every frame on it was heartbreakingly beautiful, and unprecedented innovation will always make the public crazy!
