The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 2078 Cultural Clash
Damn it!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The crew-cut young man sat on the ground, cursing and swearing. He was frustrated and angry about the mechanical malfunction, but he was also helpless.

As a result, in the heat of the moment, a classical melody flowed down, and the sound of the violin strings seemed to be stirring the sensitive nerves of the short-haired youth, a silent provocation.

The young man with the buzz cut suddenly exploded, scrambling to his feet and angrily charging towards the violinist. Passersby in the small square noticed this and held their breath. Some were considering whether they should step forward to prevent a disaster, but most were completely stunned, watching the scene unfold in disbelief.

The young man with the buzz cut ran faster and faster, charging more and more fiercely.

It's on the verge!
However, just as the buzz-cut youth was about to clench his fist and smash it hard against the violinist, the violinist dodged backward, shifting the position, and the buzz-cut youth crashed into a lamppost.

scare!
Amidst a collective gasp, the crew-cut youth crashed into it, grabbing the lamppost with both hands and feet, climbing up like a monkey. After two or three steps, he pushed off with his feet, performing a 360-degree somersault in mid-air, landing back on the ground like a wild goose descending on the sand, displaying remarkable agility and lightness.

The next second, without giving anyone time to react, the buzz-cut youth bent over, supported himself with his hands on the ground, completed a handstand, and began to spin the windmill.

High-difficulty floor moves!
Passerby:? ? ?
Stunned and speechless, everything happened too fast and too suddenly. The surrounding crowd was all shocked, their brains unable to react in time, completely dumbfounded. No one knew what was happening in front of them. A dazzling, rapid storm swept past, and everyone was swept into the storm.

Then, something even more magical and amazing happened—

The young man with a buzz cut danced gracefully to classical music. The violinist seemed to feel the enthusiasm as well, and his bow movements became noticeably more cheerful and light. The flowing notes danced in the golden sunlight, creating an incredible collision between classical and modern music.

transfixed!

It was still 2005. Although amateur talents in daily life had begun to try to break down barriers and combine classical music with street hip-hop, everything was still in its infancy and remained a niche phenomenon. The movie "Step Up," which combined hip-hop and ballet, would not be released until a year later in 2006, breaking the perceptions of the general public and showcasing the development direction of the new century's cultural trends since the millennium.

In other words, for most people, this remains unfamiliar, even unconventional—

Classical music? Hip-hop/street dance?

What an international joke!
However, what is amazing is that everything that is happening before our eyes is so harmonious and so beautiful. The violin plays smoothly and gracefully, while hip-hop dance injects rhythm like drumbeats. One is the heart and the other is the blood. The two are unrelated but cooperate with each other to create sparks.

Bystanders instinctively tried to resist, but the adrenaline made them hold back, and the contradictory and stimulating feeling was almost maddening.

As the short performance ended, cheers and whistles erupted from the crowd, their exchanged glances revealing an unknown excitement and elation.

It was only then that they noticed a large crowd had unknowingly gathered around them, bustling and surrounding the two young people.

A figure in the crowd raised both hands high, clapped, and cheered, "Wow, that was amazing! Can we request a song?"

The violinist was stunned and didn't react immediately, then subconsciously looked at the short-haired youth.

The young man with the buzz cut was panting. "What song?"

A voice from the crowd shouted, "Long live life! The August 31st Band, I remember they also had classical instruments in them."

This time, it was the young man with the buzz cut who looked at the violinist.

The violinist said, "The melody is fine, but the rhythm..." A voice from the crowd stepped forward. "We can help." He raised his hands high and began to strike—

*Slap.* *Slap.* *Slap.* *Slap.*

The unfamiliar young man entered the circle of people, faced the audience, raised his hands, and called on everyone to join him.

My gaze inadvertently swept over him, but I couldn't look away. He was wearing a white long-sleeved sweatshirt with grass-green three stripes and classic trefoil stripes on the sleeves. It was clearly a classic retro Adidas sweatshirt from the 1980s. But the snow-white sweatshirt was slightly different. There was a sunflower on the left chest and a trefoil on the right chest.

Simple, clean, elegant, and retro.

She paired the outfit with white shorts, white socks, and shell-toe sneakers, creating a refreshing and sunny look that immediately catches the eye. She then draped a dark green bomber jacket over it, its tailored cut clearly a classic Dior design from the past two years, yet cleverly blending the elements together.

A touch of nonchalance, a touch of casualness, a touch of neatness, a touch of flamboyance, a languidness mixed with sexiness, and the sunlight all seemed to gather on him.

However, there was no time to think things through. Whether they were excited or bewildered, they were all swept up in this wave of revelry and began clapping their hands to the rhythm.

The violinist, watching the rhythm being played, nodded slightly in sync and began to play the violin—

With hearts surging and blood boiling, the grandeur and vastness of "Long Live Life" easily awakened bodily memories. The crowd cast aside their inhibitions and fully immersed themselves, tapping out rhythms with their bodies and enjoying the party to the fullest. The temperature rose steadily, and waves of heat rolled in.

The young man with the buzz cut grinned broadly, opened his arms to embrace the spotlight, and danced with abandon.

When classical meets street, when retro meets modern, when ballet meets hip-hop, these incredible encounters and collisions, seemingly incompatible, always bring surprises. Just like "Long Live Life" and the band August 31, the fusion of classical and rock brings a brand new experience.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

In the small square of Cannes train station, crowds of people stopped to admire the spectacle before them, smiles easily spreading across their faces.

The events began and ended at an unknown time, and even after the performance ended, the party atmosphere continued to spread.

After regaining their senses, the chattering discussion revolved around the unfamiliar young man: "Don't you think he's particularly charming?"

However, it was impossible to explain exactly what happened; it all seemed like a dream, a mirage-like illusion amidst the summer heat.

Then, at some point, someone in the crowd had a sudden realization: "Wasn't that Anson just now?"

In an instant, all the heated discussions and excitement froze into ice. As they looked at each other, they tried to awaken their memories, clear away the fog, and re-identify the face hidden in the illusion. Those blurry and ambiguous images gradually became clear in their minds. One by one, they couldn't help but cover their mouths in disbelief, but as their eyes met and confirmed, they gradually returned to reality, confirming their wild conjecture.

Finally, it escalated into a passionate outburst, erupting in full force—

Exclusive: Anson Wood spotted in Cannes wearing a Dior x Adidas collaboration.
