One Hundred and Thirty Eighth Moment to Relax
Obviously, concert rehearsal is not an easy task. While challenging the limits of physical strength and energy day and night, one needs to pay attention to protecting one's physical condition to ensure the quality of the performance. How to maintain a balance between the two is undoubtedly a serious challenge. challenge.
But in Ronan's view, these are not problems. They are still young, and they can continue to fight day and night for a week just relying on their enthusiasm, and they will not fall easily when they are jealous; the most difficult test is ——
Hungry!
There is not much time left before the concert, and the already heavy rehearsal work is piled up. The band has to do their best to catch up with the schedule, and there is even no time to eat; moreover, the staff also followed the band members Working hard together, everyone is burning, and their complaints can only be swallowed honestly.
For three consecutive days, they skipped lunch directly, and they didn’t have a good meal until they returned to the hotel. They only ate one meal a day, and used chocolate, bananas, and energy bars to support them at other times. This kind of life even It is harder than performing on the streets of the city.
If it was just that, Ronan would just mutter at most, not complaining, and there is no doubt about the priority of the matter.
But that's where it gets really bad!
As the lead singer, Ronan can't keep stuffing his mouth full all the time, which also means that once the rehearsal starts, other people can stuff a candy or chocolate to replenish energy, but Ronan must firmly hold on to work and work. The gap between chewing and swallowing is raced against time.
The bitterness in it is also indescribable.
Occasionally, Diego saw Ronan who kept stuffing things into his mouth, and couldn't help joking, "You look like a hamster stuffing carrots into his mouth"; then Ollie couldn't help adding, " Aren't squirrels stuffing pine cones in their mouths?"
At the same time, it is accompanied by Olina's iconic loud laughter, which creates an earth-shattering effect, ensuring that the surrounding staff can cast their sights at the first time, and catch the energy bar with both hands and stuff it halfway into the mouth. What does Ronan look like without being able to fully digest and with puffy cheeks?
There is nothing to love.
Although Ronan really wanted to strangle Diego and Ollie to death with his own hands, but in order to continue to enjoy the superb food from all over the world freely, he held back his rage and just secretly squeezed in Ollie's latte. A whole tube of wasabi was mixed in perfectly and that's it.
Ronan thought he must be an angel.
In just three days of concert rehearsal, Ronan was 100% sure of two things. First, starvation is definitely the top ten tortures in human history.
Second, a concert is definitely the ultimate dream of every singer. It has nothing to do with the size of the stage or the capacity of the venue. Like an earbud, having intimate moments that belong to them.
Therefore, even if he was so busy day and night, even if he worked so hard that his head became light-headed, even if he was so tired that he felt dizzy, and even so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, Ronan still enjoyed it and enjoyed it.
This is a life he never dared to imagine, but it is now happening for real, and he has loved every minute of the past few months, including those moments of disputes and disagreements in the band, as well as those moments when he put himself into practice. Forget for a moment the moments of hunger, and those moments of dazed and bewildered nights in the dead of night—
Because of caring, because of urgency, because of love, so...you are afraid, aren't you?
Looking up at the night sky, there are not many stars on the cloudy sky, only a faint dark blue, with some light gray shadows floating faintly, which seems to hide the boundary of the sky and let the whole world escape into the chaos of nothingness.
"I know you're looking at me...I can feel you there..."
finely,
Ronan whispered and hummed, but his tired brain still couldn't wake up too much inspiration. The intermittent melody fragments were like a clogged faucet, dripping some scattered things, and then quickly interrupted, without being able to connect a fragment.
"You", the "you" here, is the devil in the heart? Or a vague future? Or is it the desire of the heart? Otherwise, is it a misty hope?
Staring at the sky, Ronan's fingertips lightly sketched twice on the guitar strings. After writing two chords, they interrupted again. It still didn't feel right.
On the flight from Las Vegas to Washington, Ronan and Ollie were composing, and the piece about Ollie's inner demons was not completed.
At this time, sporadic fragments of inspiration appeared in Ronan's mind again, but unfortunately, he was not sure whether these fragmented things would come in handy.
really.
On the road of creation, I still have a lot to learn, and there are still many difficulties and bottlenecks to face, but Ronan does not feel frustrated, but feels a kind of excitement - because it means that he can continue to Growing up, there are countless challenges and adventures in front of us. This kind of life is full of expectations.
Some people yearn for stability, while others yearn for adventure. There is no right or wrong, high or low. These are just two different life choices. The one that suits you is the right one. Ronan in the previous life has never taken any risks, because he There was no way to start an adventure, so this time he was ready to try.
Tonight, all discussions about work have ended, Ollie and the others are already exhausted, but Ronan needs a breath of fresh air——
Because tomorrow, they will officially meet with Bruno Mars, and they can get information from Julio's words. Whether the band can be the opening guest depends on Bruno's decision.
To put it simply, tomorrow is also an interview, and the interviewer is Bruno.
From Trastan to Scooter, the One Day Kings have had multiple head-on hits in a short span of time, and now it's Bruno.
In fact, they all know very well that this is the cruel reality that indie bands need to face, and it has been like this for the past seven years; but at the end of the round, facing the opportunity within reach again, the mood is still indescribably mixed , especially after going through three and a half days of rehearsals full of forgetfulness and devotion, it was even more difficult to find an accurate expression vocabulary for thinking about gains and losses.
After dinner, the band members tried to get to work, but the propulsion was terrible, everyone couldn't keep 100% focused, and the practice was over, everyone was in their own world, in their own way. De-stress.
Cliff was a little anxious, Maxim was a little nervous, and Ollie... fell asleep after overeating, snoring loudly.
So, what about Ronan?
