Chapter 149: Listen Closely
"What the,!"
Jeremy's grasp of the down-and-out but arrogant Dan is quite accurate, and the feeling of having a hot tongue but hating iron is not steel, which makes people can't help but believe that he is a music producer.
Especially when listening to a song with a long intro, "This one is good, it's okay...... Until you start singing!"
Many venomous film critics couldn't help laughing.
After throwing a dozen CDs out of the car window one more time, Dan's car stops, the camera changes to a side-by-side car, and the white subtitles for "Writer and Director: Sid Leonhardt" are supposed to appear.
It turned out that Dan was coming to pick up his daughter from school on behalf of his wife, but before his daughter came out, he quickly took two sips of whiskey in the car, which made the audience laugh, and then his daughter Violet walked out.
As her daughter approaches, the camera zooms in, and Lindsay, wearing a pink leopard-print cutie and gray ultra-shorts, approaches the screen.
"Where's Mommy?" asked Violet.
"Where's my daughter?" Dan asked rhetorically, striking at the hearts of many people.
Seeing Lindsay in cool clothes on the screen, many viewers were secretly frightened.
You must know that Lindsay is now the popular "Hannah Montana", a unique youth idol among teenagers. Last time, "Juno" caused a "pregnancy incident", and if there is another "super shorts craze" this time, I am afraid that parents across the United States will have to worry about it again.
After picking up his daughter, Dan first drove to the company. But in front of his daughter's eyes, he was fired from his company by his partner, and the disheartened Dan took his daughter to the bar, but because he didn't bring any money, he couldn't eat the overlord meal, but was punched by the bar owner.
When Dan is full of grievances, he sends his daughter back to his ex-wife's house, and the two quarrel again, and Dan finally slams the door and leaves, but his car breaks down at this time.
At the end of the day, nothing went well, and in the evening, Dan, disheartened and drunk, walked onto the subway and said to the missionaries, "Sir, go and talk to God, we are not alone." β
Dan smiled and said to the missionary, "I'm going to talk to him (God), what if he ignores me?"
Many of the quick-thinking audience members in the theater immediately felt a few abnormal signals, and then there was a message from the subway station that "due to a signal failure, the next train will arrive in 20 minutes." β
"Fuβ!" Dan immediately scolded drunkenly.
it!!
Everyone immediately reacted at this time, this guy really wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the rails just now!
But the subway is out of order, God won't let you commit suicide.
In desperation, Dan had to climb onto the subway station and casually find a tavern next to his home to get drunk. At this moment, an English weak man who had finished singing on the stage of the tavern said, "Do you mind if she comes up and sings?" Greta, come up and sing. β
Then the reluctant brown-haired Briton took the stage and played the guitar, all while Dan was asking the bartender to keep refilling himself.
When Greta's singing voice began, Dan couldn't help but look over.
In reality, the monotonous and humble guitar singing, under Dan's boundless imagination, the drums begin to play, the piano is played, and the cello is interspersed.
Classical and modern blend together, and while the rest of the bar begins to exchange ears, Dan sees a completely different scene. All the instruments started playing automatically, and this is probably the only CGI special effects shot in the whole film.
Dan couldn't help but dance with his hands, and along with Greta's singing, along with all the music in his head, merged into an incredible movement.
"I'll join!" Greta sat back on the couch in frustration, but Dan broke in like an uninvited guest.
"What?" said Greta, confused.
Dan handed over a business card in his hand, "I want to help you put out a record, I want to be your producer, I want to sign you, we are destined to work together." β
This standard Yankee "rough" style is not accepted by the British girl Greta.
"Sorry, you didn't see the audience's reaction?" asked Greta.
"yes, see, so what? Are you sad?" Dan laughed.
"No, I like my music, who cares if they understand it or not, right?"
"You just need to improve your performance. Dan seemed to immediately enter the producer's orange color.
"I'm not a performer, I just write songs once in a while. β
"Are the other songs as good as the one just now?" Dan asked.
"Are you really a producer? You look like a homeless person. Tsundere Greta is not someone who "gives in" so easily, she looks the raunchy Dan up and down.
"I just came out to celebrate, I just signed a band and we couldn't be happier. Dan's lie also came as soon as he opened his mouth, "I promise that the song you just sang will be a big hit, and you are so beautiful." β
Dan's last sentence immediately stepped on Greta's tail, "Sorry, what does this have to do with being pretty?"
"Oh my God, you're still listening to the smart, aren't you?"
"No, I just think music is listened to with your ears, not with your eyes. "Greta is a woman like no other," and I'm not the one who just got off the Greyhound bus and dreamed of becoming Judy Garland, so, thank you." β
Greta said and tucked Dan's name tag back into his suit pocket, and in the face of Greta's straightforward refusal, Dan didn't dwell on it, "OK, bye." β
Looking at Dan, who left so simply, it was Greta who fluttered with big eyes and was puzzled, "Bye." β
Other singers started singing in the bar again, and Greta walked out of the bar, and Dan stopped her at the door, "OK, that's the way it is. I can't sign you even if I want to, okay?"
βOKγ Greta stopped when she saw Dan, who was beginning to reveal her heart.
"I'm not here tonight to sign anybody, I haven't signed anybody in the last seven years and my company has completely lost faith in me. "Dan talks like a sieve,
"Then why did you give me your business card?" asked Greta subconsciously.
"Habit issues, I do look like a homeless person because I've been away from home for almost a year and I sleep in a disgusting apartment with a mess. And I'm not here to celebrate or anything today, I'm standing on the subway platform, drunk, ready to kill myself, and then I hear your song. β
Dan's words brought tears to Gretta's eyes, she seemed to have an innate ability to read through people's hearts, but she was also very easily moved by the sincerity of others.
"Would you like a drink?"
βSureγ β
