The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 553 It’s not easy to persevere
Anson knew he was worth a lot——

Not from a major, with no professional studies, everything depends on hobbies and foresight.

So, it's okay to talk on paper, but the actual operation is another matter. For performance, you have to explore by yourself, but for music production, you need to rely on Miles and Dustin.

He does not think he is omniscient or omnipotent, nor does he think he can control the overall situation.

When Miles and Dustin had a disagreement, Anson had some ideas, concepts, and inspirations, but how to put them into practice required some trial and error, some running-in, and some groping.

Of course, it's also a lot of fun.

However, after Anson saw Ryan Tedder, he had some ideas.

Ryan Tedder, producer and lead singer of Republic Era.

Republic Era was one of the first bands to add cello and other classical instruments to the pop/rock genre. They not only took bold risks, but also brought a new perspective to pop music and opened up a new world.

At the same time, outside of the band, Ryan has also remained active as a producer, creating hit singles for countless top singers; interestingly, the works Ryan has participated in as a producer have topped the Billboard charts more than once. However, Republic Era has never reached the top of the Billboard charts and has always been ranked number two. This has also become an interesting topic among fans.

Ryan, who is 23 years old this year, should still be unknown. His music is not suitable for the current mainstream market. Just like Miles and others before him, few record companies are willing to take risks, so he is still in the market. Hibernating, waiting in obscurity for an opportunity to arise.

Nonetheless, Ryan has shown his talents on a production level.

As Ryan just said, he participated in the production of albums by Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé and others.

More importantly, Ryan has also been exploring the fusion and collision of classical instruments and pop music. He should be very familiar with the music style of August 31st, and Anson is very happy to listen to his professional opinions.

Sure enough, it lived up to expectations.

Not only is it just talk on paper, but the talent cannot be concealed in the actual operation process. The collision of different thoughts and inspirations makes music discussion full of fun.

Very different than shooting a movie, but just as thrilling fun.

"...I think we did it."

All eyes fell on Anson. The moment Anson smiled and gave a positive answer——

Oh yeah!
One or two people stood up and high-fived each other to celebrate the breakthrough in their work.

Including Dustin.

The previous disputes, collisions, anxiety, confusion, depression, etc. are all no longer important now. The satisfaction and joy of them sprinting towards the same goal and passing the finish line hand in hand are the only ones of value at this moment.

Maybe Ryan is the only exception?

After a brief period of joy, Ryan became a little cautious. After all, there were strangers in front of him, and he seemed not suitable to participate in such a party. Then he felt a little disappointed, thinking of the dark predicament ahead of him, and the dream that was slowly sliding into the endless abyss. There was a hint of bitterness on the tip of the tongue.

"Ryan?"

A call made Ryan raise his head. He quickly showed a smile to hide his true emotions, trying to look cheerful with his eyes wide open.

Then, Ryan saw Anson's eyes.

"Outstanding Work."

Anson said, raising the coffee tray and motioning towards Ryan.

"I guess the coffee might be a little cold and I'm not sure if it tastes good, but...do you want to try it?"

Ryan noticed the hint in Anson's eyes and followed his gaze towards the coffee. Ryan grabbed a cup in the corner without hesitation.

Aha, this must be a latte!
Ryan was overjoyed and raised his coffee cup to salute Anson. As if making a toast, he subconsciously brought it to his mouth and took a sip.

puff.

Almost, just a little bit, the coffee in Ryan's mouth was about to spurt out, but he controlled himself at the last moment and kept it in his mouth, looking at Anson with shock on his face.

Anson looked innocent, "What's wrong? The coffee is cold?"

Ryan: ...Although he was reluctant, after hesitating, Ryan swallowed it and looked at Anson blankly, "This is American style."

Anson nodded, "Yes."

Ryan:…

Seeing Anson being so upright and taking it for granted, Ryan didn't know how to respond for a moment. He thought Anson's look just now was a hint to him, but in the end——

The bitter taste spread in his mouth, and Ryan's facial features began to gather in the middle.

Anson seemed to finally understand at this time, "Oh, I don't know which cup is a latte."

Ryan, I feel like crying.

Connor, who had been watching this scene silently, couldn't control his laughter anymore and bumped Ryan's shoulder, "Don't be fooled by Anson's innocent face. Privately, he loves playing pranks the most."

Ryan looked at the coffee in his hand and then at Anson, who had his hands spread out with a calm expression. He raised his head and drank the coffee in his hand like a toast——

Refreshing enough.

However, the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny.

Halfway through the drink, I choked, and the coffee overflowed from my mouth like poison. The grinning expression made all my facial features arouse, and I even couldn't help but start jumping to express my bitterness with my whole body.

"Haha, hahaha!"

The collective burst into laughter.

With great difficulty, Ryan controlled himself and watched Anson walk over, holding a box of tissue paper and a pack of wet wipes so that Ryan could sort them out; then he came over with a cup of coffee and signaled with a smile.

"gargle."

Ryan took the coffee without doubting that he was there, and the result——

This.

Ryan took a sip of coffee, tears welling up in his eyes, it turned out to be American style again.

Hahaha!
Hilarious.

Anson looked at Ryan, who had tears in his eyes, and wiped the tears from his eyes, "Ryan, I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't be fooled the second time."

Lily almost laughed out loud, "Don't take anything from Anson."

Ryan looked at his hands, a wet wipe in one hand and an Americano in the other. He looked up at Anson in fear, "There's nothing fishy in the wet wipes, right?"

Anson expressed regret, "Time is urgent and I don't have time to do anything. However, it is a good idea. You can try it next time."

Ryan was shocked, not knowing which unlucky guy would be hit next time.

Finally, Anson put down his coffee and said, "Sorry, I saw you were still a little nervous, so I made a joke."

"Actually, Ryan, I think you're so talented that you should start your own band."

Ryan wiped the corners of his mouth and palms with a tissue, "I am indeed trying, but things are not easy."

According to the historical trajectory, the opportunity of Republic Era will have to wait until 2007. Like Linkin Park, Republic Era has also experienced a long unknown period, has been struggling and wandering, and has been on the verge of dissolution more than once.

In his previous life, just reading the text, it was hard to imagine how they persisted; now, Anson saw the waiting and struggling, the hesitation and hesitation in Miles and the others.

"Persevere in pursuing your dreams" is just a light word, and it is not difficult to say it; but only those who have experienced it in life know the difficulties and suffering of walking alone.

So, Anson thought, "Maybe you could give Warner Records a try."
