Chapter 64: Remember Me?
"It's you!" Avril Lavigne, who was wearing a black T-shirt and oversized sweatpants, covered her mouth in surprise.
"Why are you here?" After the surprise of the first encounter, the two invariably asked each other the same question.
"Well, ladies first!" Lin Mingyang shrugged, he found that every time he spoke, he would "collide" with Avril, so he decided to let the other party speak first.
"My single was nominated for this year's Grammys, and I have to perform on stage today." Avril didn't expect to meet Lin Mingyang here after a hurried farewell in Napani Town. The eccentric she also recently discovered that the guy who looks like Keanu Reeves and helped herself a lot in his hometown is really a Hollywood actor, and he seems to be not a small fame. It's a pity that this swaggering punk girl still doesn't remember Lin Mingyang's full name. "I've heard about you and watched videos of you jumping over a speeding car on the street, and many of my friends I know adore you!"
"That action is very difficult and dangerous, please don't imitate it, your friends." Lin Mingyang cautiously reminded.
"In fact, very few people would think of imitating your action, and that's why I think you're cool, and it's something that you do that is cool but no one else can imitate." Avril chewed gum and her mouth moved, but that didn't stop her from speaking clearly. "I heard that you acted in a few movies, but unfortunately I didn't watch them, you know I have always disliked watching the hypocritical performances of those good girls in movies."
Lin Mingyang wanted to say that in reality, not all girls can be as free and easy as her, but before he could say it, Avril had already pulled the topic back to the present.
"You're also here for the Grammys? But aren't you acting in movies? You can also sing? ”
The girl's series of questions made Lin Mingyang not know which one to answer first, and in the end he could only nod and give the other party a very vague answer.
"You must be singing badly!" Avril is so direct even hitting people, "Many actors like to give themselves the title of a singer, no matter how good the producer is, their songs are hard to listen to, and singing is just a kind of performance for them." ”
The girl's direct but very sincere words directly hit the vanity that had always existed in Lin Mingyang's heart, which made him feel very ashamed. "I like to listen to songs, but I sing averagely."
"You're so much cuter than those self-righteous guys!" Avril put her hands in her trouser pockets, and when the evaluation of cuteness came out of other people's mouths, Lin Mingyang might feel awkward, but from her mouth, Lin Mingyang felt a burst of relief.
"I've got to go out and get ready, the band partner is waiting for me outside, and the second show is mine!" Avril pointed out the door with her thumb, "Good luck." ”
Without waiting for Lin Mingyang to say thank you, Avril turned around very simply, but when she was about to reach the door, she suddenly stopped again, seemed to remember something, and then turned around and waved to Lin Mingyang, "Thank you for the blessing text message you sent me during the festival, goodbye!" ”
Avril Lin's life is like a beautiful scenery outside the car window, which surprises him every time, but always flashes by. She's like a jumping elf, making it impossible to catch the trajectory of her flight.
――――
Lin Mingyang found his seat in the middle of the venue, after the award ceremony began, what the two hosts on the stage said, Lin Ming** didn't pay attention to listening, he put on headphones, played the melody of the song "baby" over and over again, and silently considered the details that should be paid attention to on the stage in his heart.
It wasn't until a burst of applause erupted from the surrounding crowd that Lin Mingyang raised his head, and then saw Avril Lavigne, who was already standing on the stage, and the band behind her. Today, she sang "anythingbutordinary" from her first album "Spread Your Wings and Fly High", which is an ode to the unique surname of an individual, and the lyrics reveal a pure female surname. With her ostentatious singing voice and crystal clear voice, the whole venue danced to her melody.
Because it was too far away, Lin Mingyang couldn't see Avril's expression on the stage, but her energetic performance had already driven everyone's emotions, and the audience in the back row was even more forgetful cheers and screams.
Avril's singing set off the first ** of the awards ceremony, and then many singers also gave their wonderful singing on stage, but it never aroused such a warm reaction from the audience, the kind of cheering and screaming scene only belonged to Avril, and disappeared after her performance, never again.
The award-winning singer excitedly came to the stage to accept the award, and then was so excited that he didn't know what to say about his acceptance speech, and time flew by like flowing water. Halfway through the awards ceremony, many of the awards were already famous, and some of the audience began to yawn, excited, cheering and cheering enough, many people showed tired looks on their faces, and everyone wished that the ceremony would end soon, and then rush home to sleep.
Lin Mingyang's performance was arranged in such a "garbage time period", from the organizer to the audience, no one had any expectations for his performance this time. The two hosts did not forget to ridicule a few words when announcing the curtain, trying to mobilize the sleepy audience in the audience.
"Jenny, I'm not mistaken." The male host made a surprised expression on his face, "The next person to perform is Felix Lin, isn't he a movie actor?" ”
"Oh, Pete, I guess you're right, there's only one Felix Lin in the United States, and he's in the background."
"But we didn't see him before, and we didn't even know what he was going to perform, was he going to do magic?"
"I heard that poor Felix was sick yesterday, but I know he brought us a new song today."
"Felix started singing?" The male host asked exaggeratedly, "I've been watching his lace news for this time!" ”
His "humor" drew a burst of laughter from the audience.
"Well, if you haven't seen the movie "Youth Musical", then I can forgive you for your mistake!" The hostess saw that the atmosphere in the audience had been mobilized, and she did not continue to talk about Lin Mingyang, "I think your child may know him better than you, but now you have a better chance to invite our 'wonder boy', Felix Lin!" ”
The lights on the stage slowly dimmed, and a dark blue light hit Lin Mingyang's body, he held the microphone in both hands, and the first sentence he said was "Ohwoooah!" ”
The audience was quiet, because they were all syllable words, so the lyrics did not attract people's attention, but Lin Mingyang's good voice made some professional musicians in the audience nod.
"I thought his voice on that movie was post-processed." A lady in the front row whispered to the person next to her.
“ohwoooah!” With the dynamic rhythm, Lin Mingyang changed to holding the microphone with one hand, and the other finger turned around the stage, followed by another sentence "Ohwoooah!" ”
"Is he going to sing just that?" After the novelty at the beginning, some people in the audience have shown impatience, and the general song will have such a transitional syllable humming at the beginning, but there are not many repetitions of three times.
"You know you love me, and I know you care." After the first lyrics were sung, Lin Mingyang's body moved, and the posture of holding the microphone did not change, but someone in the audience already recognized that he was doing a very common swing step in break dancing.
"Just call me and I'll show up right away."
"You want my love, you want my heart."
"We will never, ever be separated."
"We're in this together, aren't we? Girl, stop torturing me. ”
"We're just friends, you say so."
"You look me in the eye and say you have someone else in your heart."
"My first love broke my heart the first time."
……
The boy in the lyrics is telling about his own emotional experience, whether in movies or music, love as an eternal topic is always easy to resonate with. Many people have experienced the failure of their first love, Lin Mingyang sang this feeling very well with a low voice, no one in the audience whispered anymore, everyone was attracted by the artistic conception of this song, and couldn't help but hold their breath.
When Lin Mingyang sang the ** part of "baby, baby, baby" for the first time, the audience finally heard the excited cheers of the audience in the back row, and they did not stand in the front row to evaluate the song from the perspective of those professional musicians. I simply felt that this song was very good and could have a resonance with my heart, so they roared to the strong and dynamic rhythm of the song, releasing their inner excitement.
Lin Mingyang sang a very cutting-edge tune, which was even a little unfamiliar to these pop musicians in the front row, and if it was a professional singer performing, they might shake their heads. But Lin Mingyang, who was standing on the stage, was just an actor in their eyes, so they didn't put their harsh eyes on him.
Put down the professional attitude, just by feeling, this is indeed a very good song, especially the dynamic rhythm created by electronic dubbing, with Lin Mingyang's clear voice, it has evolved a cool and full musical charm, so that everyone can follow Lin Mingyang's dance steps and indulge in this rhythm.
Of course, there are a few people who stay awake at the scene, and Avril is one of them, she does not sway to the rhythm of Lin Mingyang's songs like the people around her, but memorizes the feeling of a cutting-edge music style with her heart. And musicians who are as sensitive to the development of pop music trends as she is doing the same thing as her.
The song opened a door for them, a door to the pinnacle of future pop music trends, even if it was just a glimmer of light, enough to make them ecstatic.
When the ** part of "baby, baby, baby" was sung for the second time, someone in the audience could already hum loudly along with the melody of the song, and the cheers and whistles in the surrounding crowd became louder and louder. Just like the frenzy that people showed when Avril sang on stage before, everyone screamed and cheered, releasing the intense excitement and excitement brought by the resonance.
Lin Mingyang's singing stopped abruptly after this **, and then a black man dressed in hip-hop walked out from behind him, he used an obvious hi-pop singing voice, bringing a cozyphonic story narration to the song, and after he sang at the end "My heart has become fragments, but I still have to keep saying", the familiar melody of "baby, baby, baby" sounded again, this lyric was repeated by Lin Mingyang and hummed twice, in the slightly sad chant of "I have left", the whole song ended gorgeously.
Spit out the last syllable, Lin Mingyang kept his legs crossed and danced unchanged, his hands were naturally extended, his head was slightly bowed, and he put on a cool pose to meet the tsunami-like screams and applause from the audience.
The reporter with a keen sense of smell pointed the camera at Ex who was sitting in the audience early, and then captured him standing up and waving his fists while roaring at the front desk.
This picture was put together with another photo taken by the reporter at the time about the extremely surprised expression on the face of the chairman of the Grammy organizing committee after watching Lin Mingyang's performance, and in the middle was the classic action pose of Lin Mingyang after the singing, this group of pictures became the cover photo of the front page of the New York Times the next day, with the following title:
"He eclipsed the Grammys!"
