Chapter 268: A Rose-Like Woman

New York City, the scene of a rock concert.

The deafening music spreads from the center of the stage to the crowd, and it is like a magic wand that can manipulate people's hearts, making the audience beat with excitement.

Colorful lights reflect a variety of colors overhead, on the stage background and in the crowd, creating a certain atmosphere of drunken dreams, and almost everyone is immersed in the singing of the female singer. Except for a special existence, it is true that everyone focuses on the female singers on the stage.

The exception was a cylindrical bowler hat and a black gown, holding a civilization stick. The whole person seems to have stepped out of the photos of the last century, and his whole body is completely out of line with this era, but it makes people feel that he should be like this.

His eyes were cold, his cheeks were emaciated, and he had a thick beard under his nose, which completely covered his lips.

This peculiar man looked around, and then focused his eyes on the female singer on the stage, and he could not help but pay attention, because the female singer on the stage was like a torch burning in the dark night, so that all the people with a keen spirit could not ignore it. Even ordinary people off the stage were firmly attracted by the mental fluctuations she exuded.

"Is this what rock 'n' roll is called? Really loud music......"

"However, the singer sang well, and I seemed to smell a familiar smell."

"What a rose!"

He muttered to himself, and walked forward vigorously, regardless of how crazy the other listeners were. Miraculously, wherever he goes, the crowd naturally makes way for him. No matter how crowded it is, there will always be such empty slots.

No one could get within a meter of him, and people involuntarily reacted in avoidance, while they didn't know anything about it, still cheering for the singers on stage.

It was precisely because of this appearance that it was seen by many people. Although they didn't react at the time, they felt strange afterwards, and anyone who saw a character dressed like this would find it strange.

In the eyes of ordinary people. Maybe he's just a weirdo. But in the eyes of some people. He's a great man.

"Is it that the Lord has appeared, is it that bad enough?"

"It looks like the Rockefellers are going to start making a move!"

"I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect the legend to be true!"

"What did this adult come out for? Is it really trying to deal with the Carpenter family? ”

"That's too much, doesn't it mean that there are some rules that don't allow the use of unconventional force on ordinary people?"

"You all don't have to speculate. Let's just be quiet and see how things play out. ”

"But this adult's interests seem to have changed. It will appear at the scene of a rock concert. ”

"Yes. No one thought of that! ”

When all kinds of gossip spread in certain circles, the people of the Disney family quickly learned about it. When Walter received the report from his subordinates, he sent a flute for a while: "You mean that the adult went to the rock concert?" ”

"Yes!"

"Who did that concert? Who was the singer on stage at that time? ”

"Janis...... Janice? Joplin. A singer who has just debuted a few years ago. She doesn't look good, and her singing voice doesn't seem to be beautiful, but she sings very distinctively, and her performance can move people's hearts. ”

Walter wasn't interested in the singer, the only thing interested was the adult. He really couldn't understand why the adults were there, and more importantly, why the adults didn't contact him, and whether the plan to besiege the Carpenter family was just like that.

Janice? Joplin? Who cares how beautiful her singing is.

No matter what Walter thought, he couldn't think of a reason, so he had to send someone to follow Janis so that the adult would not go back to the concert.

As for Jennis, she was completely unaware that Lu Dao was under the stage at the time, and a special big man was present. As usual, she drank a large bottle of wine and a few small white pills before going on stage. Standing on the stage, you can vent your emotions to your heart's content, and move the audience under the stage through various performances and singing.

At first, she wasn't that kind of person. She's not the kind of person who relies on alcohol and drugs to support herself.

At least when she followed Alex to New York and joined Carpenter Records, she was still an ignorant girl in the small port. With Alex's help, she managed to release several albums, but that's about it.

It's not that she doesn't work hard enough, it's not that she doesn't sing well, it's that her appearance is too ugly and her voice characteristics are too ordinary. After the initial period of prosperity, it slowly fell silent, and there was no way to climb to its original position.

Especially when singing live and touring, I often meet a few people standing under the stage and mocking her appearance.

The first time she encountered this kind of thing, her whole mind was blank at that time. After the last time, she barely finished singing the song, but people's impression of her has become extremely bad. They thought that the Janis were ugly and could not sing well.

Everyone will always meet one or two such people on the road of growth, and they will often jump in front of you and curse in words to block you from the direction of success. Some people overcame this difficulty and persevered to the best and then succeeded. More people have lost their initial beliefs due to the interference of outsiders and the shaking of their hearts.

Janis has a very serious psychological problem, and she knows it herself. When she stood on the stage, she felt trembling and could no longer sing.

Later, a teammate suggested to her: "Alcohol can help you solve your psychological problems." ”

So much so that every time she goes on stage, she has to drink alcohol to strengthen her courage, and when she reaches the most difficult stage, she needs to take medicine to solve her psychological disorder.

Why it became like this, Janis has always known the reason. That is, she is too ugly, and many fans may be moved by her singing after listening to her songs, but when they run to the scene and see her in person, they will be frightened by her appearance. At this time, her singing level has not yet reached the level where people ignore her appearance, which naturally caused such a situation.

To paraphrase a phrase from later generations, that is, ugly monsters have no human rights.

In order to fulfill her own dreams and live up to Alex's expectations, she invested more time and energy in practicing singing. She has taken an unusual path, not relying on beautiful singing, but only relying on her performance on stage and her screaming screams to deeply move the audience.

Since then, she has enjoyed great success like never before. Her fame is growing day by day, and so are her fans.

However, Janis soon fell into a bad habit. Due to frequent places such as bars and nightclubs, she was exposed to stimulants such as amphetamines, and she was out of control. It didn't take long for her to indulge in the pleasure brought by this drug and become a person with a deep addiction to drugs.

Alex was surprised when he heard the news, he knew that many rock singers would have been exposed to drugs to some extent, but he didn't expect Janis to be so crazy and fall into it all of a sudden.

In order to save a promising female singer, Alex personally intervenes in the matter, and he decides to let Janis go to drug rehabilitation. It was not easy to convince the other party to leave the music scene temporarily and return to her hometown of Texas, where she continued her education. After finishing college, Janis made her debut again.

This time, her debut was huge and attracted the attention of all parties. The record company arranged for her to perform in a luxurious theater called the "Avalon" Opera House. It can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, and it is one of the most famous buildings in the area, and many singers have performed here.

Janis was thrilled by this, and after performing with the band, she told reporters: "It was the most thrilling moment of my life...... It's so exciting, so exciting, so loud, it's insane. I can't remain indifferent. I never sing with dance moves...... But there I moved, jumped. I couldn't hear my voice, so I had to sing louder, louder, and louder, and at last I couldn't control myself at all. ”

The first performance of the comeback was a success, and Janis soon returned to her original position as the white female singer that people loved. With her constant touring, recording, and festival appearances, she is a sensation everywhere she goes, and her performances can make the crowd go crazy.

Janis sang a cover of the blues classic "Ball-and-Chain", and her voice was rough and powerful enough, and in order to overwhelm the band's voice, she really shouted the lyrics.

The audience once described her as follows: "She is not only a singer, but a kind of original force." ”

As she sang, she stomped her feet angrily and shook her black hair so desperately that strands of hair whipped in her face. At times, she shuddered, using her rough blues voice and the high-pitched shouts and screams of excitement that erupted in extreme pain, but there was still a stronger expression of emotion in her moans and whispers.

It's hard to believe that a person who doesn't look very good offstage can become so noticeably beautiful when she is captured by the emotion of her own songs, or that a person so young can look so old and exhausted when she sings.

In the words of the adult, Janis is not singing but burning herself, and at the same time being able to illuminate the dark and lonely hearts of others.

Janis found his own path and persevered, and success was inevitable. (To be continued......)
