Chapter 255： Band Idea

Looking back and thinking about what happened in the past two months, Joseph fell silent. In fact, Hugo was right. He was also quietly changing. This is inevitable.

The success of "Smelling the Fragrance and Recognizing the "Female" People" made the surrounding applause and fresh "flowers" abound, and Joseph could clearly feel the benefits of success. This is also the reason why everyone likes success, because of this. Not only can you feel a sense of accomplishment, but also a sense of satisfaction and happiness from everything around you. This is the reason why sports are so popular, because the'exquisiteness' of the confrontation makes people dedicate themselves to the pursuit of victory. After the thrill of failure, the frustration will encourage people to make a comeback without giving up.

The subsequent victory of "Yihai Xiongfeng" made a huge change in life. The highly sought-after situation at the luncheon on December 31st was just a microcosm of Joseph's life change. The company even specialized after the New Year. The door provided him with an office, although it was still on the seventeenth floor, but the treatment was obviously different.

Success is like poison. The taste is average, addictive, but also ‘lost’. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is true. At this time, looking back at his performance during that time, he was quietly approaching his most annoying agent before.

He will yell at the fans who are constantly swarming up. Although this can be explained by the fact that fans’ failure to follow the order may lead to safety issues, it can also be explained as he has lost patience and courtesy; he will start the preparation and process of the program group. Pay attention to the screening of the scale and grades of the show invitations. Although this can be explained by the corresponding treatment for the promotion of Hugo's status, it can also be explained by the so-called star halo "fan". ...

Hugo seems to be the same, cheering and shouting to fans is more and more taken for granted, and more and more accustomed to the pursuit and praise of the media, as if all this is natural. But in fact it is not.

Fans are also independent individuals with self-awareness. They have no obligation to support you. Their willingness to support you is their generosity. Even if you are not grateful, you should give them enough respect, because they don’t owe you anything. ; Each program group has its own hard work, the relationship between the artist and the program group is mutual help and mutual assistance, no one can override the other...

More importantly, there are indeed opportunities everywhere in Hollywood, but if there are one hundred opportunities, then there are 10,000 people competing, and everyone must learn to calmly accept rejection, even for top stars. However, the mentality of both Hugo and Joseph has changed with the recent success. After being rejected before, they will always be disappointed and depressed, but after accepting, they will regain their spirit and move on. But now? The two people were filled with irritability and anxiety. A little success made them lose their patience. If this continues, perhaps the future will be unrestrained, jealous, and arrogant.

Joseph knew that Hugo didn't play big cards, nor did he. But as Hugo said, their hearts have been quietly changed. Everyone will see different scenery when standing in a different position. After the success of "Yihai Xiongfeng", the scenery around their lives becomes more and more gorgeous. , So that they are "lost" and lost their way. Fortunately, it is not too late to wake up.

The so-called talents and talents are not the reason for success. Your own efforts are the only reason for your own efforts. If you are “confused” by the surrounding cheers and flashing lights, and forget your own efforts, then the artist is actually just an actor, for others. Acting, singing for others, acting as an independent individual with a different profession from others, is nothing remarkable, and has no qualifications to be detached from others. Those celebrities who play big and self-righteous think that they are gods, that the support of fans is taken for granted, and that their talents are arrogant capital. In fact, they are not, they are just self-centered ‘jerk’.

Joseph looked at Hugo, with a bright smile on Hugo’s face, as if he had a new smile again. He knew that Hugo not only did not become decadent after this incident, but re-understood himself, and at the same time allowed him to renew himself. Know yourself. "Maybe you're right, where can the situation get worse?" The anxiety and worry between Joseph's eyebrows slowly disappeared like a mist, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "We have worked hard once, and If you succeed, then try hard again!"

The "gloomy" clouds that hung over Los Angeles have disappeared, but the dark clouds that hung over Hugo's head are not, but the sunlight in Hugo's heart has once again shed its light, and reinvigorated hope, perhaps, once again break through the encirclement to see The days of blue sky and sunshine are not far away.

"So in this case, should we still be grateful to Tracy?" Joseph did not evade this time, and directly mentioned Tracy's name, because he knew that Hugo was strong enough to face all this.

Hugo smiled and shook his head, "No, it's not Tracy or Lang. Even if it's not them, others will remind us in the future: Don't be too proud. This is the rule of this circle." Popularity, no one can predict the trend of popularity. Even a figure like Michael Jackson who is destined to write history will have a day when his popularity will disappear, not to mention a blockbuster like Macaulay Culkin and then disappear in the film history scene. Character.

"The entertainment industry is really a melting pot, isn't it? It's not just poison. Taste, wine,'fine', beauty.'Color','hands' in the dark, and fresh'flowers', applause, cheers, flashing lights, just like It’s like a besieged city, which makes people “lost” themselves. After staying in this circle for a long time, those stars who have lost themselves think that they are the center of the world’s attention, but they don’t know that they are actually dancing in a circus. The only difference is that their performance of jumping through the ring of fire won more applause."

This may be Hugo's biggest realization in the past year. Perhaps from a certain perspective, he should really thank Tracy, because he doesn't know whether he can wake up after the time is later. Before, he was too eager for the focus of the spotlight. Glory to his death pursued a glory that he had not been able to approach for ten years. He only reached it in less than a year, and it was a height that was unimaginable before. , If he continues, he will really think that he is God, and then "lost" in the neon of the entertainment circle.

"They are a circus, what about you?" Joseph was amused by Hugo's statement, and couldn't help asking curiously.

Hugo shrugged, "Currently it can only be regarded as juggling. I hope that one day I can become a magician and create my own magic."

"Is there any difference?" Joseph said that he didn't quite understand. These are all characters in the circus, but in the final analysis, they are not all the same.

"Maybe there is no difference." Hugo said with a smile, "but at least I hope to be a person, I can get out of the circus, but those animals can't." The animals in "Madagascar" are exceptions.

"Hey, Joseph, Carl, are you there?" Someone banged on the door at the door, interrupting the conversation between Hugo and Joseph.

Joseph heard it right away, "It's Fujin." Then he hurriedly turned around and walked out to open the ‘door’.

Hugo stretched again and walked out of the room, but did not see Alex and Charlize. They have been lying on the'bed' these days, feeling that their body is about to disperse, so they are more active. Comfortable.

"Sorry, I forgot to bring the key." Standing at the door, Fujin still had a cool look. He nodded and said hello when he saw Hugo, "I heard you are sick, how are you? "

"Okay, very good, everything is fine." Hugo said to Fujin with a smile. Joseph looked through the glass bowl at the door to find his key and handed it to Fujin. Fujin nodded slightly, "I'll take it down after I go upstairs and open the'door'." Then he raised his hand at will, as if to say hello, turned around and walked upstairs in three steps.

Fujin’s footsteps are very heavy, even downstairs one can hear Fujin walking to the door, opening the door, entering the room, rummaging for things, and then going downstairs. Sure enough, it’s just a series of sounds. In minutes, Fujin appeared again at the'door' on the third floor and returned the key to Joseph, "Thank you."

Hugo saw the two instrument backpacks on Fujin's shoulders, "Is there a show tonight?"

"No, it's just daily practice. One member's instrument is broken." Fujin briefly explained.

Hugo smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Oh, practice, this is an indispensable part of the band." He remembered the days and nights of practice before Glory to death, full of quarrels, and of course full of laughter.

"The process of struggling." Fujin said casually, making Hugo smile more happily. "Why, don't you need to practice?" Fujin originally planned to turn around and leave, but remembered that Hugo was also a good show. The guitarist couldn't help asking.

"I don't have a band." Hugo said helplessly, "Remember? I'm an actor."

"Then form one. Who stipulates that actors can't play in a team?" Fujin didn't even think about it and said plainly, "I think you should be from a band. You can call a group. Friends, gather together to play on the team; or apply for guitarists from other bands to join the tour. I think many bands will rush to ask for you."

Hugo was tickled by Fujin's casual words. In fact, his persistence to the band has not changed in his bones, but there has been no opportunity before, "Wow, what a good idea, why didn't I think about it?"

"You shouldn't ask me." Fujin said straightforwardly, still without too much expression on his face, the kind of solemnity with a profound "don't enter" aura, which reminded Hugo of the first time they met. , Fujin made no secret of his provocative gesture, and couldn't help laughing. "Well, I should go now, I'll talk about it next time."

Fujin would have this'friendship' with Hugo, and there were no special thoughts. It was just a small chat, and then he turned around and left, and the figure walking down the stairs quickly disappeared into the building.

But Hugo standing in the hall couldn't help but think of forming a band or joining a band. This is really a genius idea! But where should I apply for a job? Where should I start to form a band? Hugo found that he had no clue. After all, this was not the domestic environment he was familiar with, but then he thought of a place, "Al Bar!"
