Rooney Mara sat cross-legged on the ground, watching Lan Li who was hitting the drum set intently, without any judgment, just watching the whole practice process quietly.

This year, Rooney also decided to take a good rest for a while. For a whole year last year, she filmed five works in succession. It is open throughout the year, and the connection between one job and one job is very close. It feels that the whole person has been overdrawn, and even when she speaks, she seems to be dispirited. She needs rest, both energy and physical strength.

Recently, Rooney stayed in New York, did not travel far, did not go out, just enjoy the ordinary daily life of the city.

Occasionally, Rooney exchanges emails with Lan Li. It's not a text message, it's not a phone call, or a handwritten letter, it's an e-mail. It's not trendy or retro. It does have the meaning of formal communication in some office situations; however, in Rooney's view, in terms of Lan Li's response speed , If this is an office, then things have already become yellow.

Last week, Lanly sent an email saying that he was going to watch a jazz concert at Lincoln Center. He was accompanied by Damien Chazelle, Justin Hewitz, JK Simmons, Melissa Bye. Noyster (Melissa-Benoist) and so on, everyone will bring their companions, and Renly asked Rooney if he would be willing to attend.

Rooney nodded happily and agreed, but she still expressed her accident and did not expect such an invitation at all. She asked about the jazz concert; then she learned that Lanly was filming for "Burst Drummer". prepare.

In order for the actors to have a clearer and clearer understanding of the style and context of jazz, Lan Li took the initiative to pay for it out of his own pocket and invited the chief creators to go to Lincoln Center to experience jazz on the spot——

Damien was ecstatic. In fact, he always wanted to enjoy a jazz concert in person, but he was so shy in his pocket that he couldn't make it, let alone pay for the main creators of the crew. To this end, Damien wrote an e-mail to express his sincere thanks to Lan Li.

As for Rooney, after learning about the "Burst Drummer", she couldn't help but become curious: What is it like to make Lan Li burst into performance/desire/hope again? And after the long vacation, what is the current state of Lan Li when he returns to work?

To be precise, Rooney's email did not get a reply, and her question naturally did not get any answers until today.

The jazz concert officially began at nine o'clock in the evening. They decided to meet in advance, have a pre-dinner aperitif in the bar, fill their stomachs with a little snack, and then head to Lincoln Center together to meet the others.

This is also the correct procedure for watching a concert. Because the concert time and the dinner time often overlap, they can't go there with a full stomach, and they can't go there hungry, so it is most appropriate to eat some snacks and desserts in advance; after the concert is over, they will have formal meals.

Unexpectedly, it made sense that Lan Li was still practicing drums in Greenwich Village that afternoon. In this regard, Rooney was not surprised. She also came to the rehearsal room in advance to satisfy her curiosity and take a good look at Lan Li's current work preparation process.

Therefore, this scene appeared.

Rooney was wearing a black evening dress and long skirt, but she was not at all ladylike sitting cross-legged on the ground; beside her was a pair of black high heels, watching the practice of Lan Li with bare feet, like a punk girl. Uninhibited and stubborn temperament was fully revealed, but his face could not help but with a childish smile.

Especially when Lan Li said teasingly, "Right? You feel it too?"

This even made Rooney chuckle, "Do you really want me to comfort you, or do you want me to follow you?" There was no covert ridicule, but a straightforward expression of her thoughts, but a rare one. See the sassy and heroic.

Lan Li shrugged slightly with a calm face.

Rooney raised her eyebrows, and it was instantly clear-obviously Lanly didn't care at all, "Are you serious? A month ago, you didn't know anything about drums? Then in just one month, you have reached it. To such an extent? This is really amazing! Wait, you said it on purpose to show off, right? Then the little girl couldn't help but start screaming?"

Lan Li was still smiling, and cast a meaningful look, "I didn't hear the scream."

Rooney's expression paused, and then she showed a shallow smile, her white teeth bit her lower lip, "I'm not a casual girl."

"So, why are we discussing this topic? Except you, there are no other girls on the scene." Lan Li said another sentence immediately afterwards, and the faint ambiguity and ridicule appeared. The temperature in the rehearsal room seemed to be They are quietly lifting up, and the emotional exchange between the waves of the eyes has a tacit understanding that belongs to them.

In the end, Rooney was defeated, lowered her eyes, interrupted the meeting of eyes, and changed the subject, "I mean it. Although I don’t know much about drumming techniques, I know that your level is already Very good, if you continue to improve, it will not be completed in a short time, so what height are you trying to reach?"

"Buddy Ricky." Lan Li confided his name without hesitation.

Rooney didn't conceal her surprise and doubt, she looked at Lan Li with an incredible face, "Are you crazy?"

Any veteran music fan who understands jazz knows what a legendary drummer Buddy Ricky is. Even in the long history of history, a drummer of this level is only a handful. Of course, everyone wants to be Buddy Ricky, but Buddy Ricky only appeared in half a century.

Faced with Rooney's reaction, Lanly not only was not angry or refuted, but also nodded in affirmation, "Haha, do you think so? Me too."

Lan Li stood up, left the drum set, walked to the backpack in the corner of the rehearsal room, found a CD, and put it in the nearby player, "Listen, this is Buddy-Ricky's drum beat. I mean, the speed. His speed is indeed amazing, but that's not all..."

Lan Li came to Rooney, sat cross-legged on the floor, did not continue to speak, but quietly began to listen to the melody flowing from the player.

Pure drums, no piano, no saxophone, no trumpet, no French horn, no extra musical instruments, but the rhythm of the drums is not monotonous at all, on the contrary, it supports every musical note very abundantly. This is definitely a kind of enjoyment, simple and ultimate enjoyment.

Halfway through the conversation, the voice suddenly disappeared, and both of them started listening to music intently.

Like Lan Li, Rooney was born in the upper class and received elite education from an early age. Under the influence of her ears, her ability to appreciate works of art has formed a rich foundation, even if she doesn’t know anything about drums and is analogous. Can tell a general outline and context; not to mention, she still knows a lot about jazz.

Buddy Ricky's drum set is undoubtedly an absolute classic, and it makes people mesmerized.

Inadvertently, Rooney's gaze caught Lan Li's profile.

At this time, the Lan Li has not changed his formal evening dress-to attend the jazz concert at Lincoln Center, you must wear an evening dress, otherwise the security guard at the door has the right to refuse the audience to enter the venue-

In order to practice, Lan Li wore a light white T-shirt and jeans, simple and plain; sweat covered his forehead, faintly embarrassed. However, there was a focused and devoted look on that face, which instantly made people ignore all the minutiae and bloomed with a unique charm.

The scene before me is so absurd and funny:

In the last second, they were still discussing the technique of drum set vigorously; in the next second, they sat cross-legged on the ground listening to Buddy Ricky's CD.

Even more exaggerated is that they are about to go to Lincoln Center to enjoy a jazz concert. Lan Li has not changed her costume yet, and then she is sitting in a dilapidated rehearsal room in an evening dress, just like after midnight. Cinderella.

This is really interesting, isn't it?

At the same time, this is really a fascinating thing, isn't it?

Involuntarily, the corners of Rooney's mouth rose up, sketched out a small smile, retracted her attention, and once again concentrated on enjoying the drumming melody~www.novelhall.com~for six minutes of playing, but the two of them were not in a hurry. There was no conversation, so I listened quietly. After the song was finished, Lanly stood up, walked to the side, and pressed the pause button; then, the two began to discuss the techniques and emotions of the drumbeat just now. Especially the control and rhythm under high-frequency hand speed are really mesmerizing.

"If you just convey emotions, I don't think you have any problems; but the problem is that the skills are really too difficult. It takes years and years to accumulate breakthroughs. And objectively speaking, you lack talent." Rooney told the truth. To be honest.

There is no cover, no politeness, and no embellishment. Rooney bluntly pointed out the most important fact: Ren Li's talent is not above the drum set, and his current level and ability are basically the limits of Lan Li.

Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "I don't have one. But Andrew does."

Rooney opened her mouth slightly, and after a pause, she couldn't help laughing, "I can't refute it."

Lan Li spread his hands, "So we always try to realize our unfinished dreams in the movie." After saying that, Lan Li paused for a while and thought for a while, "In this way, I suddenly feel that the actors are more Like a loser, living in a dreamy bubble of nothingness forever, refusing to wake up."

Rooney chewed carefully.

There was a moment of silence, and a quiet atmosphere slowly flowed. In the end, it was Lanly who polished the peaceful peace with a loud voice, "If I remember correctly, we should set off now. Before officially heading to Lincoln Center, I Need to add some physical strength."

"Ha, you finally remembered." Rooney came back to her senses, blinked and teased.
