One Hundred and Twenty Eight Definite Sense

"...No, no, Bruno asked me to convey his apology to you. He knows how rushed this invitation is. You need to complete heavy preparations for the tour debut. This is not an easy task. Are you willing to Nodding in agreement, he is very grateful..."

Julio Lupito's explanation with a smile came from his ear, and his sincerity and enthusiasm could be felt in his words, not just social clichés of hypocrisy and pretentiousness—even if it was true, his way of expression did not reveal it, Enough to make every talker feel pleasant and relaxed.

Due to the delay in email communication, Julio and Ronan failed to complete the communication on all matters smoothly. For this reason, Julio came to the hotel in person, hoping to meet the band members as soon as possible and communicate face-to-face. Efficiently organized.

After arriving at the hotel, Julio went to their room, but failed to find anyone, and then learned that they were coming to the restaurant, so there was a later meeting.

The band members were obviously caught off guard—the other party was Bruno Mars, and he was an unknown person, but the other party not only did not put on airs, but also showed a proactive attitude of friendly cooperation, so grand and formal, which is really incredible. As for having to doubt the other party's true identity.

Is it a liar?

Otherwise, why?

With mixed emotions of apprehension and anticipation, the band members quickly completed the communication with Julio, and then officially went to the tour venue for preliminary rehearsal——

Cliff was worried about the problem of carrying the musical instruments, which was not a problem at all. Julio brought professional concert staff to the hotel to complete all the work, and then took the band members in a special car and set off for the performance venue, well-trained Their working attitude makes them see professionalism.

Riding in the luxury van, Ronan couldn't help but think of the dilapidated RV they parked at the Las Vegas airport. The air conditioner in the car had already been damaged, so they could only open the windows and breathe in the pungent gasoline. The smell and the squeaking engine sound, but I have gotten used to it over time. It's hard to avoid some nostalgia now.

Of course, if there is a choice, a luxury van with sufficient air conditioning is still the priority. Ronan just lamented the huge gap between six hours.

Everything is as beautiful as a dream.

Especially when the van slowly slowed down at the traffic lights, Ronan could see a dazzling array of square characters outside the window all over his field of vision at a glance. , Time and space are intertwined, as if they have returned to their hometown again.

The boundary between dream and reality becomes blurred again.

"This is Chinatown." Julio seemed to have noticed Ronan's gaze, and explained proactively, "This area is one of the largest Chinese residential communities on the East Coast. Of course, it cannot be compared with New York, but it also has its own. It is unique, and it is a scene every year during the Lunar New Year.”

Julio's voice brought Ronan's thoughts back to reality. Feeling the atmosphere of his hometown so close, Ronan's heart trembled slightly, and the familiar intimacy made his thoughts relax, "You often Wandering around the area?"

"No, hehe." Julio shook his head, "I live in Los Angeles, and I just arrived in Washington two weeks earlier than you. The information is all tourist information. You know, we are all guests of this city. I can only appreciate the side they show to outsiders, but have no chance to explore further."

Julio's speaking tone is very interesting, the articulation between cadences and cadences is not emotional, some parts are inaccurate, and some parts are out of habit, even if he just speaks, he seems to be singing, and the ordinary dialogue is because His tone of voice and expression became lighter.

"Your accent seems to have some Spanish accents.

"Ronan's ears are really sensitive, and he can always catch these fleeting details.

A smile flowed between Julio's brows, and he clapped his hands, "Hey, how do you know? I am a three-generation immigrant from Mexico. Few people can recognize my accent, but because I grew up with Mammy when I was young, so There are still some special habits, which Bruno can hear."

Previously, Cliff and Julio talked for a long time, and the atmosphere was always relaxed and happy; but now because of such a small episode, the atmosphere of the whole conversation is obviously closer, that is, the personal friendship outside of work has been shortened a lot. The conversation between Julio and Ronan did not stop until they arrived at the parking lot.

"Oh, look at me..." Julio patted his head and laughed, ignoring the business because of the pleasant conversation, "We have arrived at our destination, this is our performance venue this week, Verizon Center .”

Verizon Center is just two streets next to Chinatown. It is located on a very ordinary street. From a distance, it looks like a car repair shop or a large wholesale supermarket. The strong atmosphere of life makes the building completely melt in the traffic. In the hustle and bustle of the world, if you don't pay attention, you may ignore it.

However, when you turn around the front of the street, a spacious parking lot is laid out in front of you. The simple and neat lines outline the outline of the hidden layers in the complex buildings, and welcome thousands of people in a quiet way. Enjoy a unique and wonderful evening here.

It is not a bar or a temporary stage, but a real performance building with a special stage and professional equipment. People are welcome to come and enjoy special performances.

Just a face-to-face meeting made me excited. This is the first time that the One-Day Kings has stood on a professional stage since its establishment seven years ago, and the audience paid for tickets for no other purpose than to come here. Enjoy the concert - although not the band's concert.

Until now, standing in front of Verizon Center, the uneasy doubts and vacillating worries can finally be completely settled.

Maxim has completed an in-depth investigation. Bruno Mars' venue for this week's performance is indeed the Verizon Center in Washington, which has been verified by multiple official sources.

Moreover, Maxim also carefully checked the relevant information of the Verizon Center to ensure that they would not be trafficked to strange places in Washington, where they were not familiar.

Now, the key information fits together one after the other like this, the puzzles of doubts are all filled in, the alarm of suspicion can be declared lifted, the mixed emotions that have continued from last night to the present, the mixture of worry and joy, anxiety and expectation The ambivalence was finally able to be put aside temporarily, and I was really looking forward to the upcoming weekend with happiness and excitement.

The shining moment belonging to the band is finally coming!

The sense of reality, just like this, fell heavily into the deepest part of the stomach, and an urge to vomit surged up like this.
