Keanu Reeves loves rock music and forms a Sirius band, which regularly rehearses. While acting, he even disappears from the film industry for a while and tours with Sirius band.

After filming the last two films of the Matrix, Reeves took his band to start training. Today's theater is an old theater in Chicago, and the stage is built with wooden boards, because it has an ancient gray-brown color in the past.

The theater can accommodate thousands of people, and it is now full. The Matrix is ​​so popular that half of the sky, everyone is coming for Reeves. There are even audiences wearing black windbreakers and black sunglasses, completely dressed in Neo in the Matrix.

Zhang Ran sat in the audience, looking at the empty stage, waiting for the performance to begin. To his left is a young man in his twenties, Cheng Hu, the martial arts director of the movie.

Ordinary people may be unfamiliar with the name Cheng Hu, but in the martial arts industry, he is famous. He participated in many films including Charlie's Angels, the Matrix, and Kill Bill. In addition to Keanu Reeves, Hollywood big names such as Cameron Diaz and Umathurman are his "apprentices".

Zhang Ran knew that Cheng Hu had a good relationship with Keanu Reeves. Tai Chi Hero, directed by Reeves in later generations, was starring Cheng Hu. This movie was also specially made for Cheng Hu. It was precisely because of this that after the movie was rejected by Reeves, Zhang Ran immediately contacted Cheng Hu, hoping that he would join his team as a martial arts commander. Of course, Zhang Ran did not expect Cheng Hu to convince Reeves, but just wanted to meet with Reeves through Cheng Hu.

Cheng Hu knew Keanu Reeves very well. Seeing that Zhang Ran was sure to win, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you really sure to convince Keanu?"

Zhang Ran said confidently: "It's not his fault for our movie. If I'm not sure, I will definitely not waste my time. I know where the problem with Reeves' performance is, and I can help him solve these problems!"

Cheng Hu was a little suspicious. Reeves met many of the great directors Coppola, Bettorucci, Gus van Sant, and Catherine Bigelow, but his acting skills have always been like that. These great directors, even masters, have not done it. How could Zhang Ran, a young director in his twenties, do it?

Of course, Zhang Ran is now his boss, and Cheng Hu would not say it: "Actually, Keanu is very attentive in acting, in order to better shape the role of a doctor. He ran to the hospital to act as an assistant to the doctor; in order to play a timber factory worker, he visited the bar near the shooting base and observed the characters' words and behaviors in the play. However, his acting skills have never been recognized. I don't know what happened, maybe he is too handsome!"

Zhang Ran curled his lips. He is indeed handsome, but his acting skills are really bad, and explained: "What you said just means that he has taken the wrong acting path. By the way, have you seen Sirius' performance? I heard that it is so bad that the audience will throw things on the stage!"

Cheng Hu smiled and said, "I saw it, it's not as bad as the legend. When filming the Matrix, one day Lawrence also brought a band, and the two bands also came to PK. Lawrence's band emphasized percussion, which is the kind of heavy metal music. Reeves' band paid more attention to the integration of beats. Sirius was not going out to perform, so she served Keanu and was a little unable to keep up with the trend."

The audience suddenly burst into cheers. Zhang Ran looked up and saw that the host was on stage. The host also knew that the audience was coming to Keanu Reeves. He had no nonsense and announced loudly: "Gentlemen, girls, let us invite real superstars and his band today, they are Keanu Reeves and his Sirius band!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, Keanu Reeves and Sirius, who had been waiting aside, strode onto the stage. At this time, the fans shouted in a uniform manner, and some young girls pulled out their bras and waved them wildly in their hands.

"Reeves!!!"

"Reeves!!!"

"Reeves!!!"

The three members of Sirius band walked to the middle of the stage, and the lead singer stood in front of a microphone stand. The one carrying the bass on the right was Reeves. He was very different from the image of the handsome guy in the Matrix. At this time, Reeves was dressed a little sloppy, with a sloppy beard, a loose coat, and the leather shoes on his feet were also old.

Slap

The strong applause burst out like a tsunami. The screams of a female fan could shatter the glass, so much so that Zhang Ran had to block his ears.

The band's lead singer stood behind the microphone stand with a guitar, holding the microphone with both hands; Reevy held the bass, and his right hand seemed slow, but actually started to thrust on the strings quickly.

The level of a band can often be seen from the prelude. As soon as the prelude of Sirius's first song sounded, Zhang Ran began to shake his head. The level of this band is not very good, it is ordinary, especially Reeves' bass plays very ordinary.

Sirius's lead singer held the microphone and sang: "I think that's so far away"

As Cheng Hu said, Sirius is an old-school band, not a heavy metal of storms, nor is it a psychedelic style like singing, but it is the style of the 1980s. The voice of the band lead singer is also very average, and more importantly, he has no feelings for singing and gives people a feeling too calm. In fact, whether it is singing or acting, you must have feelings. If you don’t invest in feelings, it will be difficult to touch people.

Many fans were a little disappointed with Sirius' performance, and this level was really average. However, most of the people present were Keanu Reeves fans, and it was very satisfying for them to see their idols sing. As for whether they sing well or not, it was not very important.

"Keanu, I love you, I love you so much!"

"Reeves, Reeves!"

"Keanu, I'm going to sleep with you, come on, come on!"

When the whole song was over, Reeves plucked the strings frantically, then let go of his hands, and after pausing for three seconds, the entire theater suddenly sounded again with more violent cheers than before, and the applause could be heard several miles away. The hot atmosphere allowed the chill of late autumn to disappear.

If the first song is quite right, the second song will be a bit ugly. When the third song starts, many fans will be a little overwhelmed. At least Zhang Ran finds it unbearable, which is really too ugly.

The audience in the audience booed first, then started to cheer, and then threw things on the stage, mineral water bottles, bras, and various debris flying around.

Reeves and Sirius members were not annoyed, and kept smiling on their faces and continued to perform hard. They performed for several years. The audience reacted this time every time and had long been used to it.

Suddenly, two bottles, one in front and one behind, were thrown at Reeves, and the female fan in the audience screamed. Reeves turned his body and dodged one, then he hit the mineral water bottle like a truly excellent baseball player. His whole movement was extremely chic.

The female fans in the audience thought this action was so handsome, like taking aphrodisiacs. A burst of crazy applause and cheers broke out.

Zhang Ran originally thought Sirius' performance was extremely boring. Seeing this scene, he felt it was worth it. He laughed and said, "Tiger, it seems that you have trained him well. In his state, he doesn't need to do martial arts training anymore, and you can join the group directly."

Cheng Hu said proudly: "It turns out that his limbs are relatively stiff and old. When he first started to press his legs, he screamed in shock when he stretched. He trained for four months before he became like this. Sometimes he left while practicing his temper, so I had to stay at the scene and wait. After a long time, I got used to it. As soon as he left, I would drink coffee."

When the ninth song was finished, Keanu Reeves pressed his right hand hard, pressing all the strings, and the music stopped abruptly, and then walked to the middle of the stage with a boo.

The scene suddenly became quiet, without a sound, everyone looked at Reeves, not knowing what he was going to do.

Reeves stood in front of the microphone and looked at the audience in the audience, sighing quietly: "Thank you for watching Sirius' tour, I also know that our songs are not that good. But this is our last performance, and Sirius will disband after the tour. Maybe I really don't have talent, so I'd better be an actor! I'll sing the last song, Carpenter's supertar!"

After saying that, Reeves gently plucked the strings and sang in his not-so-excellent voice: "A long time ago, so far away. Before the second performance, I fell in love with you. Your guitar sound was so sweet and clear. But now you are no longer there. The sound of the radio. Have you ever remembered that you said you loved me, and you said you would come back like this, lover. lover?"

Reeves was a little lonely in the spotlight, with a faint sadness, which was the sorrow that had experienced countless hardships and came from his bones. That sorrow was not pretended, but from the depths of his soul.

Zhang Ran knew that Keanu Reeves was a very unfortunate person. His biological father left when he was young and he wandered around with his mother; his friend died of overdose; his girlfriend Jennifer gave birth to their daughter in 1999, but unfortunately, his daughter was stillborn; two years later, Jennifer died in a car accident; and his sister, who had depended on each other since childhood, suffered from leukemia, so some people said that he was the Lone Star of Tinsha in Hollywood.

He understood Reeves' seemingly weird behavior, whether it was riding a motorcycle madly, bands, or refusing to make big productions, in fact, behind all alternative behaviors is a wounded soul.

Zhang Ran looked at Reeves on the stage and shook his head, "For actors, it is a good thing to have rich life experiences. Many actors have to go through setbacks before they can mature. However, Reeves has encountered too many misfortunes and is too miserable. These experiences have created his temperament, but also blocked his acting skills. This song makes him sing so sadly, is it because he thinks of his girlfriend?"

Cheng Hu sighed and said, "It should be that he and Jennifer have a good relationship. When Jennifer died in a car accident, he was really hit hard. He was so sad that he even said he would not want to get married again. Not long ago, he called me in the middle of the night and said that he dreamed of Jennifer, and then he cried on the other end of the phone."

Zhang Ran nodded, and the more he determined his judgment. In fact, when Zhang Ran was learning to perform, his teacher Mary Hill said that Keanu Reeves's performance was wrong when talking about the performance genre.

The performance continued, and Reeves sang slowly, the saddering singing, like a cry. When he sang the sentence "Did you remember that you said you loved me, and you said you would come back like this", it seemed as if sad things were aroused, and tears couldn't help but flow.

Most of the people who came to the scene were Reeves' fans, who knew his misfortune. Listening to his singing and looking at his tears, the strings in their hearts were plucked, and their hearts were broken, and some girls even burst into tears.

Seeing the fans' reactions, Zhang Ran felt that although Keanu Reeves was not a good musician, no matter what, their performance was successful today! (To be continued.)
