From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Although talk shows aren't radio programs, a three-second silence is a live broadcast accident; however, a brief audio gap during a talk show recording is also a disaster.

However.

Miles didn't care.

Faced with Jay Leno's question, Miles raised his head and chest, his eyes clear, but he refused to speak, letting the air fall silent.

It was a little awkward.

This time, Anson didn't interrupt—

That was their story, their life, and he was just an observer, with no right to interfere.

Lily glanced at Connor, whose jawline was slightly tense, clearly trying his best to control his anger, and finally Lily exhaled softly.

“Yes, they contacted us again.”

“But, after some probing, realizing that we hadn't signed with any record company, they hung up.”

Just two short sentences, but behind them, one could hear too much blood and scars.

Others couldn't imagine how they felt, what conversations, what transitions they had with their former teammates that led to the final disappointment and pain.

Lily was also trying hard, trying to restrain herself, to state the facts as lightly as possible, to avoid revealing too much personal emotion.

Jay Leno glanced at Anson, who was also looking down in thought, his aura slowly calming down, with no intention of joking.

Jay Leno spread his hands, “Waiting for the show to air, they might regret hanging up too early.”

A small joke made the atmosphere light again.

It wasn't that Jay Leno was too frivolous, but the nature of "The Tonight Show" itself wasn't suitable for heart-to-heart talks or touching souls; they still needed to maintain the overall tone.

As for thinking, that was left to the audience.

Blair and Karen exchanged a look, clearly they hadn't expected that there was such a story behind that day's performance.

But thinking about it carefully, Blair wasn't surprised.

Why do people like music?

It's because music carries the colors and warmth of emotion, all the things that cannot be expressed in words are injected into the notes, colliding into sparks during the performance.

No wonder.

No wonder that day's performance was full of passion and enthusiasm, and today's performance was a different feeling, because that day they were really standing on the edge of giving up, and if it weren't for Anson, they wouldn't have had any follow-up.

Of course, even now, the band's future is still unknown.

Thinking of this, the tip of her tongue couldn't help but feel a complex mixture of sweetness and bitterness.

Quietly, Blair just quietly watched the three people in front of her, seeing the light of dreams and the wreckage of life on those faces.

Lily exhaled a long breath, “Maybe we should change our phone number.”

Rarely, Lily also joked once, successfully earning a round of applause.

Jay Leno secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “So, I have a curious question. Now that you've found each other, I imagine record companies should have seen you too, if—I'm just assuming—if there's a chance, would you be willing to become a band and record an album?”

He paused, “Oh, I think these are two stories, I should let you discuss them in private.”

Anson believed that Jay Leno was also joking. They shouldn't treat the show's conversation as a psychological consultation, telling the truth in every detail.

“Jay, I'm very expensive, you know?”

One joke was enough.

Jay Leno understood and looked at the three innocent young people next to him, “You shouldn't have complimented this guy too much just now.”

—Look, the band hasn't even formed yet, and someone here is already planning to go solo.

A call and response made the studio burst into laughter, including Connor and the other two, who immediately understood Jay Leno's hidden meaning.

Jay Leno slightly controlled the situation, “So, can I assume that the band doesn't have a name yet?”

Anson turned to look over, making an inviting gesture to his three little partners:

Although they didn't have a band, naturally they didn't have a name; but the three of them had their own band, and it was a good opportunity to promote it.

But unexpectedly, Connor waved his hand, “Our previous band has become history, and it won't be and there's no need to be reborn in the future.”

Saying goodbye to the past.

This was equivalent to completely severing the possibility of the band reuniting. Those former band members wouldn't need to come back after seeing "The Tonight Show" air.

Here, draw a period.

Before recording the show, Connor and the other three had their own considerations.

In fact, they could have seized the opportunity to promote the band and continue its life. With the popularity of "The Tonight Show", they could contact commercial performances after the show aired, and maybe there would be opportunities for development.

However, they still decided to give up.

If the past fifteen months of experience had given the three of them any inspiration, it was to see the cruelty and bloodshed of the fame and fortune field as soon as possible, and not to harbor extravagant hopes, continue to stick to their original intentions, and continue to persevere themselves.

Otherwise, if they were not careful, they might not recognize themselves in the mirror.

Although difficult, although reluctant, the three of them still reached a consensus.

Jay Leno was slightly stunned, he hadn't expected such an answer.

He turned to look at camera number one, “So, can anyone tell me what we actually recorded on today's show?”

“A singer, here to promote a movie.”

“A band, here to perform a song, but already disbanded.”

“Wait, did we miss something?”

Haha, hahaha.

Jay Leno's teasing and sarcastic tone easily made the atmosphere lively again.

Indeed, this was a rare sight, not promoting a movie nor promoting an album, going around in circles, it seemed like the entire show had no focus.

There was a sense of surrealism.

Then, he looked at Miles and the others again.

“Does this mean that if there's a chance, you're ready to start over?”

Miles, that honest man, instinctively looked at Anson in the first reaction, the subtext being: the decision is in Anson's hands.

Anson was caught off guard.

Connor quickly stopped Miles, “Yes, if we continue to pursue a music career, we should start from scratch with a brand new attitude.”

As for whether to form a band with Anson, that was another different story.

Outside of the show, they would discuss it with Anson, rather than morally kidnapping him on the show.

However, despite Connor's efforts to save the situation, the gazes in the studio still rustled towards Anson, no explanation needed, even without Miles's reaction, they knew that the decision was in Anson's hands.

Again and again, Anson once again became the focus of attention.

The pressure was immense.
