King of Stage

Darkest hour?

Obviously, this is not a correct description of New Orleans at this moment. The brightly lit Bourbon Street is like daytime, and the bright and gorgeous street lamps create a layer of bright yellow, which penetrates into the vast and endless night little by little, turning the dark The deep night like ink renders a tinge of blue-purple, which spreads thrillingly, and even the stars in the sky are completely reduced to embellishment. The beautiful scene makes the carnival night in the early morning thrilling.

but!

The hour hand points to 5:26 in the morning, and there are still seven minutes before sunrise today. The whole land seems to have fallen into a moment of tranquility. In order to welcome the arrival of the sun, the night is tightly covered, far exceeding a new building The scope of Orleans, the entire North American continent was plunged into boundless darkness, and the faint light was completely covered and submerged in the mighty blackness like starlight.

The moment just before dawn is the darkest moment, and it is also the moment when the boundary between dreams and reality is the most blurred. The trance between half-dream and half-awake is like standing with one foot in heaven and stepping into hell with one foot. The grotesque scene is like a dream.

Unknowingly, the severe cold invaded the summer night like this. The breeze blowing over the Mississippi River was mixed with cool water vapor, which instantly made goosebumps pop up on the surface of the skin. Before the brain made a conditioned reflex, The body is already approaching the head of the thermal energy gathered by the crowd——

The Old Blacksmith's Pub.

When he came back to his senses, a crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the Old Blacksmith Bar. Although there was no staff at the entrance to control the crowd, people still lined up obediently, observing what was going on inside the bar one by one. , and then decide whether you want to enter and become a member, people in twos and threes make the entrance of the bar lively again.

Crowd, backflow.

However, it is not so intuitive for the crowd in the bar. They are isolated in a small narrow space like this, reveling recklessly, running until the end of their lives, completely immersed in the thoughts of stage performances. Time to observe the movement of the bar.

Cheer, jump, sing, shout.

They just get into it.

Ronan also didn't notice the subtle changes in the crowd. Standing on the stage, bathed in the lights, looking around, there was a dense darkness in front of him. He could only vaguely catch the ups and downs of the crowd, but it was difficult to prepare for it. Determine how many people gathered at the scene.

Even if Ronan noticed it, he wouldn't care too much, because he was so absorbed in the performance that the size of the audience was no longer the point. What's really important is that he builds bridges through music and connects with this audience in front of him, which is the most precious and beautiful part.

Whether the audience or the band members, everyone is already immersed in the music, which is what makes the live performance unique. Ronan embraced this moment with open arms and lost himself in it. How could it be possible? Are you distracted by something else?

"Ladies and gentlemen……"

At the end of another song, Ronan took a deep breath, dragged out his voice, and spoke into the microphone in a calm manner, cutting into the topic by reciting from a subwoofer.

In just 30 minutes, this was the second time that Ronan spoke, and it was also the first time that he really used language to complete the dialogue—all the rest of the time he used performances to complete communication and communication. Compared with language, music is It was the essence of tonight, but at this moment, the performance was drawing to a close, and Ronan just started to "speak".

The pretentious tone is obviously imitating the background sound of the opening broadcast of the Oscar Awards ceremony. The "broadcast" mode with full of positive words and full posture is very ceremonial; but the problem is that Ronan, who is broadcasting into the microphone, is not It is sweaty and red-faced, far from the professional image of Oscars in suits and leather shoes,

It's... it's like—

Wearing a vest and flip-flops for a nine o’clock news broadcast is like a huge contrast, successively creating a wave of discourse humor and a wave of joy in appearance, layer upon layer rushing towards the face, easily making the audience cheer and boo , mixed with joyful laughter.

"Let us pay tribute to the kings tonight with the warmest applause and the craziest cheers. Welcome to our country, a country with only 30 minutes of vitality."

ha!

The hilarious laughter once again climbed a new level, and those sesame-sized humors were hidden in the corners of the words, which made the audience who relaxed their nerves laugh endlessly, and the atmosphere of the old blacksmith bar climbed to a new peak.

Is this a stand-up comedy show, or a band show?

The young people standing at the door couldn't control their curiosity, and they walked in amidst the laughter, their eyes were full of confusion, and they didn't understand what happened, but they still walked in after all, and then... the old blacksmith In this way, the bar slowly surged up again.

Before he could react, one-third of the space on the scene seemed to have been filled again; moreover, there were still people rushing in from behind.

"First of all, the king of bass! From the glacier country in the extremely cold north of the earth, the deep facial features of the ancient Greek gods are enough to make flowers wither. However, carbohydrates are his Achilles heel, the key to perfection Let us welcome the imperfections in the world—Maxim Pnin!"

Puchi!

Maxim could hear the sound of Ollie spraying water from behind, and he almost couldn't hold it back. He tried his best to suppress his urge to beat Ronan, and quickly outlined the bass with his right hand. Gently plucking at the heartstrings, showing his control over the rhythm.

At the end of each performance, the lead singer needs to give the band members a chance to shine individually, proving that they are part of the stage as well as part of the band.

But I didn't expect that the moment that should have been a fixed routine was full of joy because of Ronan's stand-up comedy. Maxim kept telling himself that this was his shining moment, so he barely controlled it and threw Bass directly. The impulse to reach Ronan and complete the show.

"And then, the King of Guitars! He came from the hot and humid flame abyss, with the stature and craftsmanship of a dwarf, and dreams of becoming the King of Humans..."

The introduction had just begun, but Maxim couldn't hold back, and burst into laughter as soon as he turned around: Height! dwarf!

Ronan must have done it on purpose!

Fortunately, Maxim turned around in time, which prevented the laughter from being transmitted directly through the microphone, and then he could see Ollie laughing so hard that he couldn't help himself, "Hahaha", and finally sat back.

poof.

Ollie just disappeared.

Maxim's eyeballs were about to fall out, and there were question marks all over his head: What happened just now? What is going on in front of my eyes? Is this a magic trick to transform people into living beings?
