Chapter 415: Christmas
Anderson drove the two directly to Times Square, which is the center of New York, very prosperous, and full of commercial buildings as far as the eye can see.
People come and go on both sides of the road, as if people from all over the world have gathered here, and people in fancy clothes can be seen performing talent shows on the streets.
The streets are mostly filled with coffee shops, and some business-dressed people like to walk around the road with a cup of coffee in hand and a bag in hand.
And Shen Feng and An Yiyi, the two of them visited one scenic spot after another after getting off the bus, and walked around this bustling square.
Eventually, when the afternoon came, the two came to a restaurant with a relatively peaceful and elegant atmosphere and sat down.
"Performing at Merlin's concert? Is this true? ”
Listening to what Shen Feng had just told her, An Yiyi covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed softly.
She didn't expect that the killer band would one day reunite on the other side of the world, and it was at the concert of the top superstar Merlin.
In fact, as early as when she came to New York for further study, An Yiyi disbanded the killer band.
This band, which is known as the last afterglow of rock and roll in China, has also come to an end, which has made many fans and rock lovers sigh and deeply sigh that it is a pity.
Seeing An Yiyi so surprised, Shen Feng laughed: "That's right, are you willing?" If I don't want to, then I'll have to go up and help Merlin myself. ”
As soon as Shen Feng's words came out, An Yiyi was silent for a while, and she spoke: "Originally, I wanted to wait until I graduated from the Juilliard School of Music to reunite with the killer band, but I didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly!" ”
Now bring the rest of the killer band to New York, and that means they're going to officially hit the world stage next.
In today's world music scene, there are too many rock bands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are many dusty bands, and the intensity of their competition can be imagined.
Shen Feng didn't speak, but quietly waited for An Yiyi to make a decision.
After thinking carefully for a while, An Yiyi finally raised her head, her eyes showed a determined look, and she said to Shen Feng: "I am willing!" ”
That's right, this is a very good opportunity, even if An Yiyi is still a while away from graduation, she is not willing to give up just like that.
Performing at Merlin's concert, such a high starting point, to those small rock bands that have just been formed, I am afraid that they will go crazy with joy, and An Yiyi certainly knows the preciousness of this opportunity.
Seeing that An Yiyi agreed, Shen Feng also laughed: "Well, there is still time in time, you can ask the members of the band to come over as soon as possible." ”
Next week is Christmas, and the week after Christmas is the day Merlin's concert in New York begins.
"Well, I'll contact them later, in fact, everyone was very reluctant when they disbanded, hoping to continue the band, but in order to be able to get to a higher stage as soon as possible, I have to do this!"
An Yiyi lowered her head slightly, she has been under a lot of pressure during this time, and the rock dream in her heart has never been lost.
After dinner, the two made an appointment to spend Christmas together at Anderson's home.
Originally, An Yiyi's idea of returning to China after the semester was dispelled, and she had to spend a lot of time on Merlin's concert.
During her time at the Juilliard Conservatory, Ann Yiyi has really made great progress, she already has some of her own works, and her style is much more mature than before, adding a lot of elements unique to Western rock.
When Shen Feng saw An Yiyi's work, he couldn't help but feel impressed by her.
"Amazing, I also want to say that the three songs at the Merlin concert were all composed by me, I didn't expect you to be so well prepared!" Shen Feng's eyes widened, looking at the music that An Yiyi simply composed, and exclaimed again and again.
Hearing Shen Feng's praise, An Yiyi just smiled quietly, and there was a hint of self-satisfaction in her eyes.
After reading these works of An Yiyi, Shen Feng exhaled lightly and said: "When the time comes, you will sing two songs, and I will sing one of my own works." ”
Regarding the performance of the killer band at the Merlin concert this time, Shen Feng has a lot of his own considerations.
In a sense, this is the debut battle of the killer band, and it must be paid enough attention.
The few songs that An Yiyi showed him just now are absolutely passable in terms of quality, and there is no problem with all of them being performed by An Yiyi herself.
However, Merlin still needs his own name to give the company an explanation, so he has to show up once for everything.
And he is in the killer band, at most he is a supernumerary, he is equivalent to a cameo as the lead singer, and the backbone of the band is still An Yiyi, after all, his focus cannot be placed on the band for a long time.
"I have no opinion, in fact, if you want to, it doesn't matter if you give you the lead singer of these songs, who let you help us so much in the country!" An Yiyi talked about some things about the band in the past.
Hearing some things that had happened in the country, Shen Feng's eyes showed a little nostalgia.
"No, this is your band, your debut battle, I'll make a cameo once!" Shen Feng said with a smile, he had already seen that kind of light from An Yiyi's body, a light that belongs to top composers.
Previously, he had only felt it in those ace composers in China, and now An Yiyi also has it, although it is still very weak, but Shen Feng believes that as long as she is given enough time, the killer band may not be able to reach the top in the future.
Then, the two discussed some of the next side matters, and finally chatted happily for a while, and then left Times Square.
Of course, it was Anderson who came to pick up the car, looking at the happy looks of the two, Anderson shook his head and sighed several times in succession.
New York is even more bustling at night, and the city seems to never sleep, no matter what time of year it is.
Anderson drove the vehicle back to school, and then drove Shen Feng home.
On the same day, the news that Shen Feng and Anderson appeared at the gate of the Juilliard School of Music spread far and wide.
Especially the students in the school, they smacked their tongues again and again, claiming that An Yiyi was too hidden.
"Do Orientals like to keep a low profile so much? If I knew one of them, I was afraid that the whole school would know about it on the second day of school! ”
"Then what is the purpose of her coming to school, obviously she already has such a strong background, so it's easy to make her debut as an idol singer or something."
"The most terrifying thing is that An Yiyi usually works very hard in school..."
"Don't say it, if I keep talking about it, I'll have an extremely low self-esteem!"
“...”
As the days passed, the temperature seemed to be a few degrees colder, and the next few days it snowed heavily, and the streets were covered in a thick layer of snow.
Christmas Eve arrived as scheduled, and the whole of New York was filled with the atmosphere, with everyone on the roadside having a smile on their faces.
"Feng, have you thought about what to eat for the night?" Anderson was decorating a small Christmas tree by the door with a small pendant, covered with shiny glowing lights.
Anderson seems to like Christmas very much, and he is directly dressed in Santa Claus costume today, and he also has a Santa hat on his head, which is very interesting to watch.
"Whatever, what do you usually eat for Christmas? It's the first time I've ever had such an official Christmas. Shen Feng sat on the sofa and watched the soap opera boredly.
"Me? Usually I spend Christmas alone, I will fry myself some steak and pasta~" Anderson's tone was very smug.
"Is Christmas such a fun time for international thieves? This was a bit of a surprise to me! ”
Hearing Shen Feng say this, Anderson straightened up and said very seriously:
"Even the busiest flying thieves will stop for Christmas, and what I looked forward to most in the welfare home when I was a child was Christmas!"
"Besides, I'm a good actor now! Not a strange thief! ”
With that, Anderson bent down again and decorated the little Christmas tree with joy.
Shen Feng didn't say anything about this, other people's culture and customs, just keep respect.
When night falls, the street trees and other greenery on the side of the road are transformed into Christmas trees, and the dim lights on the roadside are sprinkled down, and each tree looks beautiful.
Being in a foreign country, Shen Feng handed over the decision of food to Anderson.
plus An Yiyi has a total of three people, Anderson will not have much food, only frying steak, so the rest of the food is still ordered through takeout.
Seafood pies, Orleans chicken wings, Turkish kebab, Italian pizza and more.
Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang, and Shen Feng went to open the door as soon as possible, only to see that An Yiyi was also wearing a red dress today.
"Happy Christmas Eve!"
"Happy Christmas Eve!"
Saying happy to each other, An Yiyi walked in, she smelled the aroma in the air, and couldn't help but speak: "I already smell the fragrance of food, who is cooking?" ”
"I have to say that you have a very smart nose, ma'am, I can't find a few people in the United States to compare with the steak!" Anderson boasted with a big grin.
With the sound of children's chorus of Christmas songs coming from the street, the three of them happily enjoyed the meal in this festive atmosphere.
"Oh my God, Anderson, you really fried this steak yourself? Awesome! An Yiyi pretended to be amazed and praised.
"To be honest, if it weren't for Shen Feng, I would probably consider opening a steakhouse." Anderson calmly accepted An Yiyi's praise and was very comfortable.
Shen Feng, who was munching on beef on the side, took a sip of red wine and complained: "Then I'm really sorry for changing your original intention in life." ”
There is bound to be a surplus of food on the table, and none of the three of them are big stomachs, so they can't finish it at all.
In the living room, An Yiyi rested her head on Shen Feng's shoulders and enjoyed the festive atmosphere.
"This is the most enjoyable day I've had in a long time in New York."
The two pressed close together, feeling each other's body temperatures, just like they were on the Aurora of the Seas last year.
"There are many more opportunities like this in the future, and you can rest assured." Shen Feng said in a soft tone.
"I'm really happy." After An Yiyi finished speaking, she stretched out her warm little hand into Shen Feng's palm, and the latter held the tender little hand without thinking.
Anderson, who didn't want to be a light bulb, stayed away from the greasy atmosphere created by the two.
As if feeling Anderson's loneliness, Shen Feng laughed.
"What about Paris, why didn't she come to accompany you?"
"She said that she would accompany her parents today, and she would have free time to find me tomorrow." Anderson said absentmindedly.
"Is it okay?"
"Of course it doesn't matter, in fact, it's been the most enjoyable Christmas Eve I've had since I walked out of the orphanage, and I have to thank you for it." Anderson didn't care in the slightest.
None of the three wanted to hang out on Christmas Eve, and as it was late in the night, Anderson hummed a song and absentmindedly returned to his room.
"There's a spare room here, let's stay and sleep tonight." Shen Feng turned his head sideways, looked at An Yiyi, whose face was already red, and said softly.
"Hmm." An Yiyi's response was as small as a mosquito, but Shen Feng heard it clearly.
Send her to her room, and before closing the door, don't forget to remind her: "Remember to hang a sock at the door, Santa Claus will be there." ”
Although she didn't know what she was referring to, An Yiyi did so and hung a Christmas stocking on the doorknob.
Late at night, Shen Feng, who was lying on the bed, got up and took out a sheet music that had been prepared.
The name of this score is "In the End", it is a rock song, in addition to the songwriter's name is Shen Feng, the original album name is signed by the killer band!
Shen Feng walked out of the room lightly, and when he passed by Anderson's room, there was also a Christmas stocking hanging on it.
Looking at this Christmas stocking, Shen Feng smiled, and then took out the car key of the Mercedes-Benz Big G and put it in.
Then he came to the door of An Yiyi's room, and he stuffed the folded original score into it.
This piece is what he planned to perform with the killer band at the Merlin concert, and he just took this opportunity to give it to An Yiyi as a Christmas present.
After doing all this, Shen Feng returned to the room again and fell asleep deeply.
Christmas Eve passed quietly, and the next morning, the first to break the silence was Anderson's exclamation.
"Shen Feng!
! I love you!
! ”
Anderson looked at the car keys in his Christmas stocking and yelled outside the door.
"Woo woo, after all these years, you were the first person to give me a Christmas present! I will always remember you! ”
With this exclamation, An Yiyi also rubbed her eyes, yawned and got up.
Filled with curiosity, she also walked out the door, wanting to know what gifts Shen Feng would give her.
opened the Christmas stocking, there was a piece of paper quietly inside, An Yiyi opened the folded paper, and when she saw that the original singer of the song was called the Killer Band, her eyes suddenly misted.
This is a very good song, and she, as a rock lover's sense of smell, knew for the first time that this song would become popular!
With this song, the killer band is on the world stage, and it is definitely not a big problem!
