Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

He was sitting in the corner with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the people talking loudly, but there seemed to be sarcasm in his eyes. When you stare intently, you can only see a piece of indifference.

The bowler hat was casually put on the side, he leaned against the back of the chair, his legs crossed in a nonchalant manner, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and the wrinkles carved on his face only added a mature charm to him.

When the man raised his head to look towards the door with an inexplicable smile in the corner of his mouth, Elisa put her hands behind her back and clenched them unconsciously.

"Is this the kid you mentioned?" He asked, his voice flowing quietly in the air like water.

Eliza, known as "little friend", watched his quiet eyes, and slowly relaxed her clenched hands.

Until Eliza sat down in the tavern, she still felt that what she was facing was a dream.

She quietly raised her eyes to look at the old man in the corner, she could vaguely make out his brows and eyes amidst the clouds and mist, which was very familiar.

Bob Dylan.

Eliza read the legendary name softly in her heart.One of her favorite singer-songwriters, even during the competition, she mentioned it to Adam more than once, but at that time she was far from expecting the day when she would meet a real person.

She thought she would be so stiff that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, but when she actually came in front of a real person, Elisa suddenly realized that she was not that nervous.

Maybe it's because of the friendly "little friend", maybe it's because of Bob Dylan's relaxed posture.

Gradually getting rid of the nervousness when she came in, Elisa held the water glass that Adam brought her, and observed the people in this tavern curiously and secretly.

Only now did she notice that this tavern has kept an extremely simple structure. From the yellow stains on the wall and the faintly dark tabletops, you can see the sense of age here. The tavern is small, and there are no other people in the room Among the guests, there was only one middle-aged man with a beard sitting in the table, smoking a cigarette and staring at the only table in the tavern.

In addition to Adam, Elisa also saw several other members of the Maroon [-] band. James was holding a wine glass and talking and laughing with the people around him. Maroon [-] and Bob Dylan, Eliza didn't even know anyone else in the room.But she listened to their argument with great interest, but the cup she held in her hand hadn't moved for a long time.

Adam finally couldn't bear to join the discussion in front of him, but at this time Elisa heard a voice from the side, "Have you been listening here?" She turned her head and saw Bob Dylan faintly dispersing Looking at her in the smoke, she tilted her head slightly, "No objection? Don't want to join?"

"I think it's more interesting to listen to them arguing from the sidelines," Eliza said boldly after a slight pause, "you think so too, don't you?"

Eliza's question reached Bob's ears, and he froze for a moment, then grinned, "Well, I think, probably, yes."

The people around were chatting enthusiastically, and at this moment Elisa finally found a place to talk to the musician she liked, "I really like your songs, especially the song "The Answer Blows in the Wind" .”

Hearing this, Bob raised his eyebrows, "I'm... honored?"

"I just want to express how excited I was when I first met you today." Elisa said with a smile, "But now, I really don't think I'm so nervous."

"I can tell." Bob took a puff of smoke, "Kid Adam mentioned you just now, and he said a lot of compliments."

Elisa glanced at Adam who was arguing with Jesse, turned her head and smiled, "He is a good mentor, he helped me a lot."

Bob stared at the blond woman in front of him, her smile was blurred in the smoke, but she didn't look so comfortable now, "What are you worrying about, kid?"

Elisa was stunned by his abrupt question, "I don't have any troubles..." She murmured softly, but she closed her mouth dully under the gaze of those eyes.

"Do you have your own song?"

"There is one."

"Play it to me."

After Bob said this, Eliza couldn't help being stunned, "What?"

But he didn't care about Eliza's reaction at all. He stood up from the seat and strode towards the stage.Not long after, he came back with a mobile phone.

Bob patted the phone on the table in front of Elisa, leaned back on the chair, exhaled slowly, and raised his chin towards Elisa, "Put it on." He took off his gentle cloak and became the weird musician described by the media.

It was only then that Adam noticed the movement here, and he cast a concerned look at Eliza, and Eliza gave him a gesture of no problem from a distance.

Withdrawing her hand, Elisa looked at the phone screen and took a deep breath.

After a song ended, the melody of "Isletoe" sounded in the tavern. Eliza returned the phone to the boss, sat back in the chair, and watched Bob close his eyes nervously.

At this time, Elisa felt like the child who was anxiously waiting for the evaluation after submitting her homework in elementary school. Without knowing it, she honestly put her hands on her knees and stared at Bao Every subtle expression change on Bo's face.

Although it was only a few minutes, Elisa seemed to have endured it as long as centuries.

The moment Bob opened his eyes, he met Eliza's eyes full of tension and expectation.

He didn't comment on the song for the first time, but asked, "Do you like this song?"

Eliza froze suddenly.

Bob saw her expression, "You don't like it?" It was clear that the ending tone was rising, but Elisa had the illusion that he was stating his point of view.

"I..." Eliza suddenly felt her lips dry and licked them unconsciously, "I just haven't thought about it."

"Then why did you post this song?" Bob pressed again.

Eliza was silent for a moment, then murmured, "Because Dio needs a song."

"So do you like this song?"

Round and round, Bob returned to the original question.

After a moment of silence, Eliza was unable to give an answer.

She had listened to it over and over again, and the song that had been polished countless times in the recording studio was still flying in her ears, but Eliza was speechless in the face of Bob's question.

"I like this song." After Elisa gave this answer, she couldn't help repeating it to herself, as if she was talking to herself.

Bob stared at Eliza's dodging eyes, then lowered his head and pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, grinding it, sparks flashed through the ashes.He said without raising his head, "Do you remember when was the happiest time you sang?"

"The time in the final." Elisa replied without hesitation, "It was Refed's "Nenoise"."

"What do you feel?"

"I just feel... I am standing on the stage, and the audience is there, but I feel that I am the only one around..." Eliza slowly organized her words and said that she was the most intuitive on the stage at that time. feelings.

Bob listened to her narration, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, "That's enough, remember the feeling of being on stage at that moment."

Until she left the tavern, and on the way back in the car, Eliza kept thinking about the last question Bob asked her——

"Eliza, do you want to be a pure singer or an independent musician?"

It was a question she had never thought about.

The scenery on the side of the street flashed before her eyes, and Eliza pursed her lips tightly, but she didn't notice the hidden line of sight in the front row.

Sitting in front of the computer, Elisa took a deep breath to calm herself down, moved the mouse to that link nervously, and moved her fingers slightly.

"Crack" sound.

The moment the name at the beginning of that list jumped into her eyes, Eliza's eyes widened suddenly.

Immediately, there was a scream of surprise in the room.

The news was also quickly captured by the major media. .
