The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1236: Running Wildly
Melody, galloping.

Singing, loud and clear.

Enthusiasm and passion are fully released, dancing at the top of the universe.

Wave after wave, the rolling torrent continues to come towards us, and thousands of eyes are all focused on the figure in the center of the stage. There is no spotlight and no need for one, he is the focus.

unique.

His casual and unrestrained outfit showed his unyielding spirit at this moment, so much so that the entire Staples Center was trembling at his feet.

It’s incredible that such a simple, rough and rustic stage can burst out with such energy.

The world revolves around Anson at high speed.

Until the peak, Anson took a deep breath and made a transition.

"If they say, who cares that another light goes out, under the billions of stars, it is flickering, flickering."

“Who cares when someone’s time ends? If we are just a drop in the ocean, we should hurry up and hurry up.” (Note 1)

So gentle, yet so tenacious, just like a ray of sunshine that tears through the endless darkness and shines down, the world is deep blue and gradually becomes brighter.

Then the guitar stops playing, followed by the cello and then the keyboard.

One by one, like the stars extinguishing, the melody becomes simple again, and finally only the bass is left, winding around Anson's singing in a low but firm voice.
"Who cares if another light goes out?"

"Yes, I do."

Finally, the bass also disappeared into nothingness, and only Anson's singing voice lingered in the air.

The show is over?

The song ended, but the Staples Center still couldn't come back to its senses. It lost its mind and judgment in the band's performance on August 31, gradually lost itself in the melody and singing, and let itself wander in the world of music.

It was not until this moment that he finally came back to his senses, but before he could think, Anson gently tapped the guitar case, and the crisp sound came through the microphone.

Archie's heart skipped a beat: "Wake me up"?
At the first moment, the genes in the blood of the fans of the band August 31st were activated, and they were ready to celebrate even before they heard the melody.

However, on the stage, Anson's mouth corners curled up and he smiled.

“Oh oh oh, oh oh…”

Wait, this is "Viva la Viva"?
Archie was stunned.

The clapping guitar and the rhythmic rhythm clearly mean "wake me up".

However, Anson's humming was "Long Live Life".

What's going on? Is this a brand new piece like the first performance?
That curiosity, mixed with excitement and joy, rolled and burned in my chest.

Bang, bang, bang.

Anson was still playing the guitar alone, humming the melody of "Long Live Life". The two notes intertwined and collided with each other, bringing new life.

Then, Miles began—

The melodious and graceful cello strings sound slowly.

Then, Lily struck the keys in an amateur's one-finger Zen way, and the melody danced in the endless string sounds of the cello like the sound of a tinkling spring.

Then, Connor plucked the bass, and the rich and deep string sounds slowly diffused in the air, instantly infusing the performance with soul, and the vitality of the melody slowly awakened.

Fresh and powerful.

This is clearly "wake me up"!
However, Anson's distant and ethereal voice was still humming "Long Live Life" softly. No one would have expected that the two completely different songs would intertwine and collide to produce an incredible chemical reaction, and a grand and majestic emotion spread in the vast space.

Sometimes gentle, sometimes turbulent.

Sometimes whispering, sometimes roaring.

The perfect connection of the melody once again made people feel the uniqueness of the band August 31st. Everything revolved around the instruments. Compared with the melody or singing, the instruments were the core of everything. In this soul-stirring performance, the staff appeared again——

Drum set!
One of the snare drums was placed alone in front of Anson, but Anson did not pick up the drumstick. Instead, he spread out his right hand and kept it low and struck the drum quickly, creating a series of graceful rhythms and driving the melody to a peak.

The concert begins now!
"Wake me up", just "wake me up"!
It has been exactly two years since the band performed this song on the streets of Manhattan on August 31st, but apart from "The Tonight Show", this is the band's first performance on a formal music stage, which can be said to be a long wait.

Although this was the first time watching a live performance, almost everyone was able to feel the melody at the first moment and get excited following the rhythm of the drums.

The performance that was once only heard in rumors was now taking place before my eyes. The strings of reason loosened little by little during the performance, and I was completely swept away by the individual performances of the four band members, and was uncontrollably caught in the storm of passion.

Then, revel in the party—

Bang, bang, bang. Anson hits the snare drum.

“Oh oh oh,” the band members sang loudly.

Archie could no longer control himself. He raised his hands high and jumped around, joining the band members in singing. The melody that came from his heart and soul was being sung freely.

The smile blooms brightly and happily, without even realizing it, it just rises purely and simply, blooming without reservation.

Apparently, Archie isn't the only one.

When you turn around, you can see Gloria and other friends waiting at the entrance of Staples Center. They all enter the carnival mode, throw away their rationality, give up their reserve, and use their bodies to feel the rhythm and melody.

Laughter filled my chest.

No one is exempt, including the guests in the Staples Center.

Everyone, stand up.

At this moment, there is no age, no gender, no national boundaries, nothing. Everything returns to its original simplicity, presenting the most essential and simple form of music, awakening the happiness deep in the soul and forming a connection.

So, the action becomes simple.

Raise your arms, jump, and sing.

That's all.

All the guests sang along with the August 31st band.

This scene is hard to imagine.

Standing up and ovating, jumping in time, this is incredible, and it can only be seen at the Beatles' 40th anniversary performance.

But what we saw before us was not only the reappearance of the entire audience, but also a chorus from the entire audience, turning the Grammy Awards ceremony into an August 31st band concert.

It's spectacular!

Amid the ensemble, Anson once again performed the classic song, threw the drumsticks behind him, and brought the performance to a climax amid a roar.

"Wake me up when I reach the end, when I'm wiser and older."

“I have been searching for myself for so long, but I never realized I was lost… I never realized I was lost, oh oh oh… I never realized I was lost!”

One wave is higher than the other, and the Staples Center has evolved into a volcano with the continuous exploding high notes, and the rolling heat waves are sweeping the entire venue.

So, is this the end?

No, changes occurred again on the stage.

Behind the four people, four curtains slowly descended, instantly changing the stage setting, and as Anson hummed, the lights also slowly changed.

It is like a dream, hard to distinguish reality from illusion, and in an instant you are plunged into a dream.
