Chapter 132: 132
After Hugo performed the song "Home", which he just composed, he only felt that his inner thoughts gradually calmed down. Calling his father this morning awakened Hugo's longing for his family, and then after experiencing the accident at Joseph's family, although Hugo never showed it, he was still very heavy in his heart.
But now, all the emotions are poured into this song "Home", so after Hugo finished singing, he felt a little difficult, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, letting the sadness and nostalgia in his mind slowly fade away settle down.
This "Home" was temporarily created by Hugo just now. He originally wanted to create a jazz-style soothing love song, but in the melody outline, there was still some rhythm and blues.
R&B, which originated in the 1940s, has gained a certain degree of recognition after years of development, but it has never really been accepted by the public until after the end of disco music in the late 1980s, a fusion of black soul, funk, pop and hip-hop. The rhythm and blues style is really formed, and then gradually occupies a place in the music market. Throughout the 1990s, rhythm and blues was an occasional masterpiece and became a member of popular music that cannot be ignored. After entering the 21st century, it ushered in a complete explosion and became the most important part of popular music.
For Hugo, the influence of rhythm and blues music cannot be ignored, so when he was creating jazz style just now, the style of pop and rhythm and blues permeated in the final sound processing and note connection parts, making the whole song full of indescribable Romance, even if not deliberately provocative, creates an incredible emotional effect.
Compared with the previous consecutive creation of several rock-style songs, today's "home" creation brought Hugo a much richer harvest, which gave Hugo a further experience in music creation. However, such an opportunity is elusive, and today's series of accidents made Hugo's mind burst into inspiration, and the final creation was a matter of course, but if Hugo was allowed to continue to compose another song, he would be powerless. However, the comprehension of the song "Home" was enough for Hugo to chew on it for a while.
Hugo's inner mood finally calmed down, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Charlize's tearful expression on the opposite side. Hugo originally wanted to remind Charlize, "You're playing the role of a tramp now, so you won't be able to cry. Good ending, not to mention make-up." But then Hugo found that not only Charlize, but even the splendid sunset around him could see a little bit of tears shining.
Raising his head, Hugo saw that the crowd around him had reached the size of more than 30 people, surrounded him and Charlize. The expressions on each person's face were different. Memories are filled with emotion and sadness. Home has a different meaning in everyone's heart, but it is undoubtedly the deepest secret in everyone's heart, and at this moment, because of Hugo's singing, people's nostalgia for home is awakened, and the emotional surge is here. Inevitably.
A sentence "I want to go home", so sincere and so real, makes the emotions bloom the most moving flowers.
Every teardrop shone beautifully and shook Hugo's heart. Although this song was performed by Hugo, he still couldn't imagine that the crowd in front of him was moved by his singing voice, and the impact brought by the tears to Hugo was not inferior to the song "Home" itself. emotional strength. This was the first time Hugo was so convinced of the power of music to shake the heart.
And all of this was caused by Hugo, which was something Hugo never dared to think about before. Even though he sang the theme song for "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo still didn't have much idea about the position of lead singer, but today, the reaction of the audience today made Hugo believe that he can become an excellent singer, He has this ability.
Neil applauded, he could hardly control the surging in his heart, he just so selflessly stirred his hands, expressing his admiration for the singer in this most direct way. Also as a street performer, Neil has seen many talented singers in the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, but there are very few singers who truly admire Neil, perhaps because of competition from peers, perhaps because of his professional confidence Play with pride.
But today, Neil is really impressed by the singer, not to say how good the singer's singing skills are. In fact, during the performance of this song "Home", the singer has been avoiding showing off his skills, and more Express the truest emotion in the song in a concise and simple way. But this only reflects the excellence of this singer, because he knows how to interpret music in the most correct way, rather than blindly pursuing skills, which is a fact that many professional singers have never been able to see through. What's more, the singer's indescribably charming voice and unbelievably wonderful interpretation bring out the emotion of the melody and lyrics vividly and vividly. This is a talent, an impeccable talent, which makes people have to applaud.
Wiping the tears from his cheeks, Neil stared at the lively scene in front of his eyes dimly, unable to restrain his inner surging and surging: he wants to know this singer!
With the first applause, the applause of the other crowd followed closely, and it sounded enthusiastically. At this moment, it seemed like a grand stage, and everyone sent high respect to the performers with applause. . Perhaps the applause of more than 30 people was not earth-shattering, but this scene became the most dazzling scene on the Avenue of Stars when the sun was setting.
The streetlights came on, shedding a warm glow, illuminating the homeless and the boys—that is, Charlize and Hugo. The old grandmother who stood up first just raised her voice and said, "It's worth the ticket price!" After speaking, she laughed heartily, and there was laughter all around.
Then someone stepped forward and put five dollars into Hugo's open guitar case. The crowd swarmed up one after another, expressing their feelings for Hugo, and not forgetting to leave one to Charlize. Fierce look. I have to say that Hugo and Charlize performed very well just now.
Charlize successfully established the image of the homeless man who wants to blackmail and deliberately pretend to be a ghost. You must know that it is not easy to pretend to reveal his true emotions inadvertently. It will either be too fake or not enough. One of the joints, is not an easy task.
And Hugo's performance was even better. The weak and helpless but strong and independent young man easily won the sympathy of the masses. Later, he used a song "Home" to awaken everyone's thoughts of home. Thanksgiving is coming soon. At the moment, the emotions in the depths of the heart are surging.
Looking at the banknotes and coins slowly in the guitar box, although he didn't count them, Hugo was certain that it was at least more than four hundred dollars, because he saw several twenty dollar bills, and he might have counted them down. It is not impossible to count more than five hundred dollars. From this full guitar case, you can see people's support for Hugo. This feeling is difficult to express clearly in words.
Hugo and Charlize exchanged glances, both of them showed satisfied eyes, and then Hugo gave the two patrolmen a look, and then stood up holding the guitar, and the onlookers immediately shouted, "Come on, Come on, young man, don't admit defeat!" Everyone was expressing their support for Hugo in this way, and they didn't want the "wounded" tramp to succeed.
Hugo was a little embarrassed when he was called by this sound, because it was all performance just now, and if it sounds good, it is art, but if it sounds bad, it deceives everyone's feelings, "Thank you, thank you." Hugo was the first to speak. Speaking of, let the voices of the masses slow down a little, "I am very grateful for everyone's support for me, which makes me feel a little warmth in this city."
In fact, at the beginning, the masses were still indifferent, but were moved step by step by the interaction between Hugo and Charlize, and finally lost in front of that touching "home". Even so, the masses finally lend a helping hand, and you can see the warmth that still exists in the city.
Hugo paused, then pointed to Charlize who was still sitting next to him. Following Hugo's movements, Charlize stood up, which immediately made the crowd agitated, and it could be seen that Charlize was really attracted Countless hatred. Hugo couldn't help but smile, "I have to tell the truth, in fact, we are two young people who are learning acting skills, I am Hugo Lancaster, this is my friend Charlize Theron. All this just now It was a play directed and acted by the two of us, and I wanted to test our two performances in front of the public, but I didn’t expect the effect to be unexpected, and I got everyone’s support, thank you for your affirmation.
Hugo's words caused the surrounding crowd to lose their voices. Everyone stared at Hugo in stunned eyes, while Neil, who was standing behind the crowd, was at a loss. He began to ask the people around him what was going on. , and at the same time Hugo also began to explain the ins and outs to everyone, and the crowd also sighed "So it is" from time to time.
After all the explanation, someone raised his voice and asked, "What about the patrolman?"
Hugo looked back at the two patrolmen and smiled, "We explained the situation to them and asked for a little help. Thank you very much!" Then Hugo waved to Charlize, Charlize walked to Hugo's side, and the two The individuals stood side by side, and the two bowed slightly to each side to express their apology, "We are here to express our apology, and at the same time express our gratitude to everyone."
After finishing, Hugo pointed to the guitar case next to him, "As for these funding funds..."
"Keep it." The old grandmother shouted, making the crowd laugh, "Just for that song, what's the name?"
"'Home'," Hugo said. This simple word contains so many deep emotions.
"Hey, are you the handsome high school student who played opposite Al Pacino?" someone in the crowd asked with a raised voice.
Hugo chuckled lightly, "Yes, I'm that handsome high school student." A self-proclaimed boast made the crowd burst into smiles again.
