Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

All the hustle and bustle around her were moving away from her, and the turbulent cheers and applause mixed together, rising like water vapor, lingering over the venue; eyes mixed with jealousy and envy fell on Elisa like spotlights The faces under the stage seemed to be covered with a layer of translucent glass, and the cold air condensed on the glass to form countless tiny water droplets, which gradually became blurred.

The blond woman bent slightly to accept the trophy, the end of her hair drawing a small arc in the air.

She stood calmly on the awarding platform, with a slight surprise in the corners of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up to show her good mood.

"The day before the Grammys officially started this time, I was a little nervous, and then someone offered to make a bet with me. We listed all the awards I was nominated for on a piece of white paper, and then ticked ourselves The candidate for the award in my heart. Looking at it now, I have completely lost this bet."

As soon as Elisa opened her mouth, Tony in the audience had already thought of what she said. He lowered his head and curled the corners of his mouth. After Elisa finished speaking, he finally couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

Last night, even though she claimed to be "not concerned" and "not nervous", Elisa still grabbed the corner of the cup, tossed around in the middle of the night without falling asleep, and turned her head to send a message to Tony.Tony, who was in the laboratory, dropped his work on the spot and rushed over. Seeing Eliza's unbearable tension and exhaustion, Tony proposed to bet with her on the 8 Grammy awards that Elisa was nominated for. For the final winner, the bet is a kiss.

Elisa carefully considered various factors and wrote down her own answer. Turning her head, she saw Tony draw a curly brace next to the list of awards, and wrote her name, Eliza, on the side.At that time, Eliza went up to knock on Tony with anger and laughter, but she didn't expect that his random guess would exceed Eliza's correct rate because of Elisa's six awards.

It's just that among the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, only Elisa and Tony really understood the story behind this passage, and the others only regarded it as a small episode for Eliza to ease tension, and sent out A good-natured laugh.

"Four years ago, when I was on the "Voice of America" ​​audition team, I didn't know where my future direction was. I stood on the stage of the audition, the knockout stage, and the group competition stage. Finally, I stood on the stage of the finals. It was not until that night when I stood in the middle of the Rose Bowl and watched the cheers around me that I had a vague idea in my heart-I wanted to be a singer.

After officially entering the music industry as a singer, the sentence I heard most often is-Elisa, you should do this.Elisa, you should participate in some social occasions; Elisa, you should open your own public social account; Elisa, you should post some of your latest updates on your personal social platform... You should, you Should, you should.And when I question it, most of them just tell me it's a 'rule' because everyone else does. "

When the word "rules" was said, Eliza curled her fingers and made a quotation mark gesture.Unknowingly, the audience fell silent and no one was talking. This was an astonishing phenomenon in a venue of nearly 2 people, but at this moment, everyone's attention was on the people who were standing. Young blonde woman talking on stage.Tony stared at the figure on the podium, the light in his eyes was incredibly gentle.

"I'm thankful that growing up, my mum never said anything like that to me. So instead of following the 'you should', I would Ask 'why' before acting. Not all rules are true.

In "Death in the Desert", Harold Rosenberg once said such a passage, "The mark of a generation is fashion, but the content of history is not only clothing and jargon.The people of an age either bear the burden of the change that belongs to their age, or die in the wilderness under its pressure. 'The same is true of the times we face today, we create it, we change it, we promote it, we destroy it. "

"What does it matter if it's the best of times or the worst of times?" Elisa tilted her head and kissed the trophy in her hand. On the surface of the golden and smooth trophy, she saw the blue in her eyes. Almost at the same time, "This is our time," the woman's voice reached families watching the Grammys on a live feed.

……

Christo and Charles sat side by side on the sofa, and the Grammys were broadcasting live on TV.

Hearing what Elisa said, Charles smiled and turned his head to the side, "The expression she has on the stage now is exactly the same as that of you in the debate competition back then."

"No, it's not the same." Christo's eyes were fixed on the face of the confident blonde girl on the podium, and the corners of his lips curled up in joy, but he denied Charles' words. What Elisa said just now seemed to be still in her ears. Turning around, her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with tenderness, "She is Eliza."

She is the one and only Eliza.

Elisa has won six trophies at the Grammys at such a young age. This result undoubtedly caused a huge sensation, and her acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards was also widely recognized Excerpts from home magazines were reproduced and published.Among them, her speech when receiving the "Album of the Year" was brought up for discussion again and again.

Elisa's speech hit young people's dissatisfaction with reality and inner depression, and the sentence "This is our time" was frantically reprinted.The young people were aroused by Elisa's speech, and left some comments on the Internet about "changing the world" and "changing the rules". "Naive" scoffed.

At this time, "NME" released an article titled "Don't do "Babe", Eliza Lin's road to music growth".As a music magazine that started to pay attention to Elisa when she released her first original single, it was also the first professional music magazine to invite Elisa to be interviewed. "NME" appreciates and loves Eliza's music style Never hide it.

After the Grammys ended, in the latest issue of "NME", the female reporter Ava Walker, who has been following Elisa's music trends since the first interview, wrote this article exclusively, not so much It is a report, it is more appropriate to describe it as a biography.

It is rare for Ava to let go of her usual sharp writing style and describe Eliza's musical journey in a restrained but gentle tone.From the music talent show that became popular at the beginning, to the disastrous slander and smear campaign, the young female singer who broke out of her cocoon was finally glimpsed by the world like a carefully preserved gem that night at the Rose Bowl.

Ava's words are not sensational, but relying on the details accumulated by her watching Elisa's music path all the way, this article is filled with a touch of warmth.Through her pen, following Eliza's footsteps, looking back at the road she walked, you will find that she is not as strong as she is now at the beginning. She has been confused and experienced Over doubting, she has prematurely endured standards and criticisms that are too harsh for her age, but still maintains the most sincere tenderness towards the world.

This kind of text is relatively easier to accept than those messy battles on the Internet, and those who read Ava’s article carefully have gradually withdrawn from the online debate and will pay attention to the news around Elisa He looked back and turned back to Eliza's music itself.

After the Grammy Awards Ceremony, the rankings of Elisa's songs continued to rise. "WHY", which was sung live at the Grammys, still firmly occupied the top of the Billboard chart, and the rankings of Eliza's other songs also followed. rise.

When Eliza set off a phenomenon-level craze on the entire Internet, she herself quietly came to the top of Stark Tower.

After being discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. last time, despite the intervention of Charles, S.H.I.E.L.D. did not force Elisa to stay for recruitment or research, but S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury still A request was put forward-a person in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. would conduct regular ability training and testing on Elisa to ensure that her energy fluctuations remained within a reasonable range.And this job didn't know how to operate it, and it went around and around, and finally fell into Tony's hands.

Elisa stood in the empty isolation room and saw Tony's familiar face through the glass. She had seen it many times from this angle, but this time it seemed a little different from the past.Today's process was the same as usual. Under Tony's control, one after another different objects protruded from the ground and were placed in front of Elisa.

Eliza skillfully wrapped the energy in the palm of her hand, and raised her hand to press these objects.When Elisa was using the ability, Tony's eyes kept falling on her body, until the last object disappeared in the room, and there was still no abnormal phenomenon in the fluctuating values ​​on the screen, Tony was silently relieved in his heart, and moved away. looked away.

The enclosed space splits a thin gap from the wall, and slowly separates from the middle to the two sides. Before the door is fully opened, the people outside the door can't wait to walk into the room sideways and hold Elisa hand towards the door.

When the two sat side by side on the sofa, their hands were still clasped tightly, and Eliza leaned her head on Tony's shoulder, as if thinking of something, she suddenly frowned.

"I recently wrote a new song."

"Ah."

A deep voice sounded, and Eliza's ear, which was attached to the man's shoulder, vibrated slightly, with a strange numbness.

"There is an MV for the new song."

"Ah."

"There is an emotional scene in the MV of the new song, and I need to kiss the male lead..." Elisa just said this, when she felt the arm behind her tense up suddenly, and she caught a glimpse of the man's dark face. I really couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing Elisa's happy appearance, Tony couldn't help grinding his teeth secretly, and approached her with a serious face, but no anger in his eyes.

"Okay, now you're going to make fun of me."

"Hahahahaha..." When Tony touched Eliza's waist, she couldn't help it, she laughed and avoided it, but she was secretly annoyed that Tony accidentally found out that she was ticklish when she was on the island. thing.

"See if I don't 'teach' you a lesson."

Laughter echoed in the room for a while, the little clumsy hand stood by the table, seemed to be a little confused and raised the mechanical arm, knocking over the coffee cup on the side.
