Chapter 343： Music partner

"If she said yes..." Hugo's response immediately became the front page headline of major gossip newspapers the next day. Although Hugo did not comment on Uma's remarks, it was just a sentence. It's enough for reporters to diverge their thinking.

Some people interpret Hugo's words as a counterattack to Uma, thinking that the two people broke up and separated, and the two had a fierce quarrel; some people interpreted Hugo's words as ridicule and irony. Hugo is ridiculing Uma's reversal of right and wrong. The termination of the date is Uma's fault. Some people read it as a helpless confession, thinking that Hugo was hit by the key point by Uma and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. So by default...

All kinds of news reports are overwhelming. It can be expected that the reporters will interview Uma again, waiting for Uma's response, and then a new round of news climax will come again. But what is surprising is that Uma did not respond in the first time. I don’t know if it was because there was no promotion of the itinerary in the last two days, or because there was no information temporarily, but this does not hinder the paparazzi’s success. Enthusiasm, countless paparazzi are closely watching Uma's next move, just waiting for her to respond to Hugo's answer.

"Shit! She just wants to wait until next week to respond. This week's hype has attracted enough attention, and next week, it will be a new round of hype. She's really amazing! Really amazing!" Joseph said. Shi was very calm, and his emotions were not too'excited', but anyone could hear the hidden anger and disdain from his words.

Hype is skillful. This is obvious. Too dense and too eager will make the focus too dense, but it will lose the effect; too slow and too slow will make the news out of focus and lose popularity. This is obviously a kind of "learning". However, in the 1990s, the main channels of message transmission were television, radio and newspapers, and the channels of dissemination of gossip were more newspapers. This made the dissemination of news need a period of brewing. The big-name suspicion after the ball awards spent nearly half a month in front and back, so the hype skills are not too deep, and the rhythm is relatively slow.

Hugo looked at Joseph holding the injustice for himself, but laughed, "When did she respond? Isn't it the same for us? Anyway, I won't respond to her remarks."

"Even so, no one wants to see a mad dog barking at him in the newspaper, right?" Joseph was halfway talking, he heard the knock on the door, stood up and opened the big door. , "Those bad news always affect the mood of the day."

Hugo must admit this. Although he has relaxed his mind about the reporter's comments, he still feels uneasy every time he sees it. It seems that learning to deal with the media is not overnight. Can be done.

The big'door' opened, and Neil stood at the door with a guitar on his back. Seeing that it was Joseph who opened the'door', he stood at the door and said politely, "Is Hugo home, please? "

"Of course, you are Neil? I am Joseph." Joseph quickly stepped aside and welcomed Neil in.

Neil just raised his head slightly and saw Hugo standing behind him. He first took Joseph's hand and said hello before he walked in, "Isn't Pepe coming?"

"Toilet." Hugo pointed to the direction of the corridor, "Come here and sit down. Today, my roommates are out for work, so I let you come." Then he shouted to the bathroom, "Peppa, Neil is here. "

Today Alex and Charlize are both out. Alex is going to film the pilot episode of "Happy Family". He successfully got one of the roles, "Less", but whether he can be sure of it depends on the pilot. After the effect. After the pilot broadcast, the TV station will first decide whether to shoot, and secondly, whether to use this set of actors, so everything is still uncertain. Charlize went to the acting school for classes. In the days when she was not working, she continued to learn the basics of acting. After returning, she would practice ‘communication’ with Hugo and Alex.

Hugo originally planned to go to Al Bar, but considering that the reporter has been wandering outside and wanted to stop Hugo-see if he will meet Uma, so he simply called Neal and Pedro When they came home, it happened that they had never been here.

Joseph stood at the'door' and did not come over. Instead, he signaled to Hugo that he was back upstairs. Hugo saw it out of sight, so he raised his chin in response, and then Joseph left and brought him along. Closed the big'door'.

Neil heard the ‘door’ closing and glanced back, "Where is he?"

"He doesn't know much about music, so he definitely can't stay upstairs." Hugo said casually, "By the way, you know, Fujin also lives upstairs, and Joseph is a roommate."

Neil raised his eyebrows, expressing his surprise, "I saw the bad news recently. Are you okay?" Neil put the guitar on the sofa and asked with concern.

"I'm fine. After experiencing the bumps before, I always have to learn something." Hugo said with a smile. Although he has not been to Al Bar, he can also imagine that Green Hill must be drinking again. The latest news is nailed to the cabinet for people to entertain.

Neil smiled, "I knew that Green was still in the bar saying that he would introduce you a new'female' person." Sure enough, Green's style made Hugo laugh.

"Hey, Neil! You are late!" Pedro opened the bathroom ‘door’ and walked out with ease.

Neil clicked on his watch, "I'm never late." There are five minutes left before their agreed three o'clock. He is always on time. "I remember you said that you live downstairs with a grumpy old man. Doesn't it matter if we are here today?" Neil's memory has always been very good, and he remembers many details.

Hugo couldn't help but smile, "I went down and knocked on his'door', and he went out today." Ernst also knew that staying at home for a long time was not good for his health, so he would go out for a walk every few days. Normally, leaving is one afternoon, so it doesn’t matter.

"Hugo, hurry up and tell us about the keyboard player you found. Is he really good? He must be very glamorous if he can get your recommendation!" Pedro suddenly jumped onto the sofa. It's as if you are relaxing in your own home.

"No, I haven't heard him play." Hugo shook his head. "He is a good friend of my agent, called Alfonso Lopez. I only know that he can play guitar and keyboard. I don’t know anything. Moreover, he has a permanent job now, and he may not be willing to join us."

"Then what is the audition for today?" Pedro asked without even thinking about it.

Neil sat beside him and couldn’t help but laughed, “You always have to give each other a chance, and also give us a chance, don’t you? It’s not that easy."

Pedro waved his hand indifferently, "We have Hugo! And you and me! Most importantly, we have Hugo! This is the guarantee of the band!" Pedro's strength for Hugo There is an absolute worship, especially after the three of them formed a half band and performed on the street for a little half a month, Pedro admired Hugo even more, obviously full of confidence.

After Joseph mentioned the Alfonso keyboard last time, Hugo contacted Alfonso once through Joseph, mentioned that they had formed a band, and sincerely sent Alfonso's audition request. Of course, Hugo also explained the ‘sexual’ nature of the band, especially the new attempts made by the three Hugo and the others, which gave Alfonso a comprehensive understanding.

For Alfonso, this is a crossroads in life. This is very similar to Alex’s experience at the time. Alex also gave up his bank job and came to Hollywood to pursue his dreams as an actor, and Alfonso now has to give up his relatively stable and thriving job as a car broker and choose one. I don't know the future band at all. This can even be said to be a decision to determine his life in the next five or even ten years. It is not so easy.

After careful consideration, Alfonso decided before the "Schindler's list" was finalized that he was willing to give himself a chance and Hugo and them a chance. He would come to the audition, and then do it based on the results after the audition. Decide. After all, he did not prove his strength, Hugo and the others did not show their ability, and it was too hasty to make a decision before that. So there is today's audition. "We have Hugos, but we don't have drummers, and we are still not a band." Neal looked at Pedro and twitched his lips helplessly. Neil naturally admires Hugo. It has been like this since the first meeting Maybe he would not admire Hugo like Pedro, but there is indeed a feeling of sympathy with Hugo. , So he has enough confidence in Hugo. But this is the fact, a band without a drummer cannot be called a band.

Pedro was hit by Neil, and he immediately slumped his shoulders, "It's so easy to find a good drummer!" The most important thing is that their band hasn't had any achievements to attract good drummers. Take the initiative to join.

Hugo is open to it. He is keen on the band. The main thing he likes is the happiness of a group of music-loving partners making music together, but if the band becomes a quarreling vanity fair, then it is a small Hollywood, it is better not to form it. For example, on the brand new day of fighting on the streets of New York, they are not just as simple as'sexual' incompatibility, but also quarreling for popularity and attention. This has nothing to do with music or dreams, which is really frustrating.

Therefore, Hugo said, "Don't worry, we will find our band's own pace, and everything will be natural."

At this time, there was another knock on the door. Hugo opened the big door with a brisk step. Sure enough, he saw Alfonso standing at the door with a huge keyboard on his back. He saw Hugo,'Lu' gave an enthusiastic smile, "I took the first step, are you ready to welcome it?"
