Chapter 133 133 Performance Gains

Although the pedestrian didn't call out Hugo's name, at least they recognized him and knew that he was the handsome high school student in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", just like "the teenager who committed suicide in the 'Dead Poets Society'" , which replaced the worst actor in the Golden Raspberry Award as the newest protagonist of Hugo, which is a great improvement.

The crowd came forward to shake hands and hug Hugo. After a while of excitement, they gradually dispersed. Hugo did not expect the final situation to turn into this. Facing Charlize's slightly playful expression, Hugo He could only laugh helplessly: he was still not quite used to the fact that he had become a little famous actor.

"I didn't expect your singing skills to be so good." Charlize had a playful smile on her face. She had known Hugo for more than half a year, but she never knew that Hugo was such a good singer. Singer, she originally thought that Hugo was just joking when he said that he wanted to sing live, but she did not expect to bring such a huge surprise, and even brought tears to her eyes. "Did you write this song just now?"

The corner of Hugo's mouth drew a warm arc, "Yes. Music is my hobby, is it my hidden talent?" The last word "talent" Hugo also deliberately raised the tail, as if seeking Charlize's approval, success Charlize rolled his eyes.

"It's not difficult for me to praise you, you can say it directly." Charlize mercilessly exposed Hugo's little trick, which made Hugo chuckle.

"Hey, man." A rough voice rang out politely and cautiously. Hugo and Charlize couldn't help looking over together, and then they saw a handsome 6-foot-3 (1.9-meter) guy, the pair of repairers. The long legs were so conspicuous in the setting sun that even Hugo, who was six feet tall, had to lift his eyes slightly to see the face. The well-proportioned figure is carrying a guitar, and the simple combination of ripped jeans and a black T-shirt makes him look uninhibited and unrestrained. His long blond hair and blue-green eyes are particularly charming with a romantic light.

"I'm Neil Anderson, a street performer." Neil took the initiative to introduce himself, and pointed back to the place two hundred yards behind him, indicating that it was his performance venue, "I heard your singing just now. , I have to pay you my respects, it's really awesome."

Neil spoke crisply, with a generous expression. Looking at the worn-out guitar in Hugo's hand, he showed his inner excitement, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of emotion. Although the other party is just a stranger, Hugo can easily feel the true feelings from Neil's heart, "Oh, this is really thankful, I was worried that no one would appreciate my performance, yours It must be very important to me.”

Hugo is not being polite, but stating the facts, and what he said is naturally sincere, which made Neil laugh. "Oh, by the way, I'm Hugo Lancaster, a temporary guest street performer today."

"Yes, I heard it just now, they said you were an actor." Neil held Hugo's right hand that he voluntarily stretched out. "I think you are a very good singer. You should really spend more time on music creation. There will be countless people going crazy for you." After speaking, his right hand also used his right hand to express his affirmation, "I Seriously." Then he let go.

"Maybe this is the best news I've heard today." Hugo's smile bloomed brightly, "Looking at your serious expression, I would think you are a music manager of a certain agency, of course, If so, all the better."

"Oh, no, I'm just a music lover." Neil was also amused by Hugo, he looked at the guitar in Hugo's hand, "Your guitar skills are really good, this song is yours just now Did you make it yourself? I must say, jazz into pop? It’s a crazy and wonderful idea.” They are also guitar players, and naturally have a lot of common language when chatting.

"And rhythm and blues," Hugo added, giving Neil a stunned expression. "Actually, today was just my first try. I usually prefer rock and roll."

"Guns and Roses or Nirvana?" This was Neal's first thought. These two bands were the best representative of American rock after 1988.

Hugo shook his head and said a series of band names "Happy Mondays (Happy. Mondays), Stone Roses (The. Stone. Roses), The Smiths (The. Smiths)." Along with Hugo's words, The expression on Neil's face lit up little by little.

The bands mentioned by Hugo are the representative bands of British rock that rose rapidly after the 1980s, having experienced Queen, sex. hand. After the brilliance of a number of rock bands such as Guns (S.e.x. Pistols) and The Beatles, British rock entered the 1980s and showed a slight decline. Instead, American rock and roll led by Guns and Roses and Nirvana became the world's leading rock band. Mainstream, but still no one will ignore the powerful energy of Britpop.

Neil originally thought that Hugo was a "native" American and should have a deeper affection for American rock, but unexpectedly, Hugo had similar tastes to him, and had an inseparable love for British rock. This was indeed a huge surprise.

"I can see why I resonate so much with your music." Neil's simple words expressed the joy that he and Hugo gentleman saw the same thing, and Hugo couldn't help laughing, "Although I would like to continue to exchange your views on guitar and music with you, but I am really sorry, I have made an appointment with friends at night, so I have to leave temporarily." The regret and embarrassment on Neil's face were there. The pair of beautiful eyes showed clearly.

Hugo also sighed lightly. Although he had only spoken to Neil for a few words, the intimacy of seeing each other made Hugo much regret. He wanted to meet a friend who had a common interest in music. , is not so easy. Hugo's first reaction was to take out his mobile phone and record the contact information of the other party, but then Hugo thought of it. Now is 1992, an era when the Internet did not rise and mobile phones were as cumbersome as bricks. Really bad.

"There will always be opportunities." Hugo was relieved quickly and said with a smile, "If we really like the same music." Words, but sometimes it is true, as long as there are the same preferences, there will always be opportunities to meet again in the world of music.

"I'll wait." Neil chuckled, then waved to Charlize and Hugo, and left quickly. From beginning to end, Neil only greeted Charlize twice, and his attention was completely on Hugo — or on the guitar in Hugo's hand.

Hugo looked at Charlize, smiled and joked, "I don't think this outfit is helpful today." The subtext was that the beggar's outfit covered Charlize's face, so no one would notice She, "In other words, your dress up today is very successful." Because today Charlize hopes to achieve this effect.

Charlize directly ignored Hugo, obviously didn't care about Hugo's words at all, and let Hugo go flat. He could only touch his nose embarrassedly, "How was my performance just now?" This is what Charlize cares about. .

Hugo stopped joking, put the guitar in the box, and the notes inside made a rustling sound, "I don't think your eyes are good enough. Your mood changed a few times just now, but it was too deliberate."

In fact, in the performance just now, the script was improvised by Hugo. It can be said to be full of loopholes, but in order to keep the audience from paying attention to these loopholes, we must rely on the performance of two people to concentrate the audience's attention, and wait until someone starts to get distracted. , you will realize that this is a scam or a drama.

So Hugo and Charlize both sat down and began to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the performance just now, "What about me? Did I exaggerate a little bit just now?" Hugo didn't know what his emotions were just now. . Although Hugo and Charlize were successful judging from the audience's reaction, the performance is always like this. You have to keep digging and thinking in order to make progress. Complacency and pride will not help.

As a result, a magical scene appeared at the intersection of the street. A handsome young man sat face to face with a scruffy homeless person and had an in-depth discussion. It was indeed a scene from the street.

After the discussion was over, Hugo took the initiative to propose, "Let's change roles next. You will play the weak role, and I will be the strong villain and experience a different role." Charlize didn't say anything, just watched carefully. Hugo said, "I kicked you when I was passing by. You tried to ask me to call an ambulance, but I was not only reluctant to call, but also spoke ill of you. After attracting the attention of pedestrians, you asked for an ambulance. Patrols help, trying to hold me down, and then I go crazy against everyone."

"What about the guitar?" Charlize asked.

Hugo was silent for a while, "Under the pressure of the patrol police, I had to compromise, and said to perform a song and see how much money I can raise, and all the money will be funded for you." This turning point seems a bit blunt, and the loopholes are also obvious. , but overall it is feasible.

Charlize pondered for a while, "Actually, what I want more is to have a strong turning point, that is, I was weak and you were strong; after the crowd gathered, I became strong, and with the support of the crowd, I turned to blackmail you, and you became Weakness." This is the so-called reversal drama.

"Then at the last moment you were pierced and not injured at all." Hugo just added a sentence, which immediately made Charlize's eyes light up. This kind of frequent loopholes but the reversal of the bloody plot, although it cannot stand scrutiny, but the ability to respond to live performances is a severe test, and the acting skills of the two people are indeed honed to a large extent, indeed is a good idea.
