2094 The Story Behind

Auctioneer Howard introduced Renly's debut in a solemn and formal tone. Whether it was hereditary aristocratic status, status in the entertainment industry today, or the unique status Alexander had given in preparing for the charity auction, there was thunderous applause from the audience. The treatment that Renly deserves.

Andre and Eaton applauded Renly one after another, and watched Renly walk onto the stage with smiles on their faces. Even Matthew, who was always cold and motionless, clapped his hands, adding strength to the fiery atmosphere of the audience. , and then all eyes fell on Renly.

Although all the people present are high-class people, it is difficult to look at the actor's career differently, but Renly is different. The rumors are too rich, even the elites and nobles are inevitably curious, as if the characters in the rumors came to The reality is general, and I couldn't help but cast my eyes.

In the sight of those scrutinizing, Renly walked onto the stage from the side stage, and Howard came to the center of the stage, and the applause stopped——

This is not a drama stage or an awards ceremony after all, the applause of the guests is still limited after all, politely expressed etiquette, and then clicked to the end; but even so, Howard still showed a surprised look, "Welcome Your Excellency Renly, this is obviously is our high/tide today."

Renly took the microphone from the staff and said with a smile, "I declare in advance that I am not an auction item today."

A little cold humor made the corners of the guests' mouths rise, and the atmosphere became a lot more lively, and then Andre joined in the fun and shouted, "Renly, why don't we auction a 'Dinner Date Ticket'. 'Well, I am willing to participate in the auction." There was laughter at the scene.

Renly didn't panic, "I'm too expensive, you can't afford it." This response caused laughter mixed with applause.

Howard did not continue joking and joking, and returned to the topic conscientiously, "Lord Renly, we have already learned in advance that the items donated this time are a special guitar and a handwritten score, now, can we invite you? Can you tell us about the origin?"

"Of course," Renly said to the audience, "I wouldn't use 'special' to describe this guitar, in fact, it's a very ordinary guitar, it doesn't have a long history or a special origin. , so you can relax and you don't have to take it so seriously."

It was another little humor, which made the scene laugh softly, and Beatrice seemed very happy.

"Five years ago, I left London for New York to pursue my dream of being an actor, and it was the first guitar I bought in New York, I can't remember the exact price, but I'm sure it was under fifty dollars. Wait, I seem to have done something wrong, or shall we start over?"

above the charity auction,

If you do activities for charity, you naturally hope to raise more money, so the value of the auction items should be as high as possible, so as to awaken the enthusiasm of the guests on the spot for bidding; and for the owners of the donated auction items, fame naturally also the better-

It's like Beckham's football. In fact, the market price of the ball for the World Cup final is 20 euros, but Beckham invited the players of the national team to complete the autograph, and told the back stories after the World Cup in Brazil this year. The football has added more brilliance, just looking forward to being able to auction a good price, showing that he chose to donate this item after careful consideration, otherwise, after the auction is over, other guests will inevitably look at Beckham differently. Q: Are you not even willing to give your heart to charity?

But Renly is now bluntly stated: This guitar is not worth fifty dollars, this is really ... playing cards out of common sense, and Howard standing next to him can't help breaking a cold sweat - no matter how clever the auctioneer is , nor can you sell an item that has no value and no story.

Just looking at the calmness and confidence on Renly's face, you can tell that he is joking, opening the story behind it in a self-deprecating way.

The situation was still under Renly's control.

After teasing, Renly chuckled, shrugged, and continued the story, "When I first arrived in New York, I got a job in a bar called 'The Pioneer Village', and occasionally I'll make a cameo appearance, and this guitar is my little friend."

"My first album, 'Don Quixote', all the tracks were written on this guitar, at least the mastering part. So, from this point of view, its tone is It's accurate, I can guarantee it." The handy little humor sparked a low chuckle again, "I'm not sure if you know that my first work, 'The Pacific War', was actually set in the pioneer village. "

Then, in a few words, Renly recounted the story of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks enjoying the show at Pioneer Village, when the guests first realized that "Cleopatra" The inspiration for this song actually came from the audition for "Pacific War" --

Just a very, very few guests. For most of the guests, this is just an anecdote, because they may not have heard the album "Don Quixote" at all, let alone the meaning of "Cleopatra"; For some of the guests, this anecdote is the most explosive. Renly has never talked about this tidbit in any public place before, and it is still a secret that no one knows.

"So, this is the guitar that was created and performed at that time." Renly concluded that the eyes of a small number of guests at the scene lit up obviously.

Private collections, in many cases the value of the collection itself is limited, more of the memories, stories and the special status of the owner carried by the collection, a letter, a postcard, a signature, a vinyl record, a Figures... and so on, all have a different meaning. Among collectors, it may be of great significance; but in the hands of unknown people, it may be just a piece of superfluous garbage.

Renly paused for a moment, "But the accompanying score I'm preparing today is not 'Cleopatra', but 'The Beast'."

This is yet another surprise.

"The song 'The Beast' was inspired by another story, but it's not the focus of today, the first time I finished the whole song 'The Beast', I have to mention a very important name: Heather- Cross." Renly's words caused a low surge in the scene.

Compared to the album "Don Quixote", Heather Cross's name has a stronger influence around the world because of the "Ice Bucket Challenge" and because of the foundation, even if it is not for film and music. Ordinary people of any interest have more or less heard the related allusions.

Most importantly, Renly used a cappella "The Beast" as his acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards, which is still an unsurpassed classic.

Now, Renly tells the story behind "The Beast", when he was a volunteer at Mount Sinai Hospital, when he saw Heather fly a kite, and when he finished songwriting with a guitar... "When I was writing, I also Unexpectedly, this song will become Heather's signature, and even more unexpected, and it will also become Heather's last regret in this world. In that evening, I completed the composition with this guitar."

"Before I came to the auction, I thought about whether I should pick some other items. After all, the market value of this guitar is really hard to come by." Renly joked to himself again, making the guests' mouths not help. Gently rose, "But in the end I chose it, because it belongs to me and it belongs to Heather."

"Actually, I'm not a person who has the world in mind. I always focus on my dreams and try to make my life colorful. As for other people, I don't have much leeway or time for them. Thinking about them. Going to Mount Sinai Hospital to help Heather and the others was just a little help, nothing special. But Heather taught me that happiness and dreams can be shared.”

"Not because we can be great, not because we can help them from above, not because we can share our happiness and joy with others; On the edge of a cliff or at the bottom of a canyon, even a voice to let you know the world isn't alone in the fight is good."

"So, I hope to share my persistence, so that those lonely dreamers and ordinary people living in difficulties can know that we all have our own wars to be completed. This is the case with Heather, those children who are struggling with their lives and death. They are, and so are we."

"That's why I donated this guitar and sheet music, I'm not sure if Heather will agree with my choice, but I hope she will be on the same side as me. I sincerely hope that through this A guitar for less than fifty dollars that spreads that little bit of hope.”

The audience, applause and thunder!

Beatrice couldn't even hold back her excitement, she stood up straight, slapped her hands vigorously, and stared at Renly in disbelief.

In her chest, she could feel the heat deeply, surging.

The reason why Renly-Hall is unique "Renly-Hall" is because in his soul, he always has a purity and sincerity that no one else can match. Today, Renly once again proved his uniqueness with a speech, and the speech and enthusiasm of all the guests in the audience became insignificant.

Only a few guests stood up at the scene—everyone was a big man, and they weren’t attending the Oscars, so naturally they didn’t plan to stand up and applaud for Renly, but Beatrice still stood stubbornly and firmly. , with a bright light in his eyes.
