Chapter 159 159 Exclusive Interview

After Nicholas turned on the recorder, he put it on the coffee table, Hugo sat directly opposite him, and Joseph sat quietly beside Hugo. Nicholas glanced at Joseph, and after confirming that Joseph had no special explanation, he continued to chat with Hugo, "Apart from coffee, what other hobbies do you usually have?"

"Fitness, reading." In fact, these hobbies have gradually developed. Since there is no Internet or computer in life, Hugo has to find some interests to pass the time.

Fitness is to keep the body healthy, this skin has experienced poison. After the torture of the product, most of the vitality was consumed, and Hugo had to re-accumulate it bit by bit, otherwise, he could no longer run before he was thirty years old, which would be too bad. As for reading, it has always been Hugo's hobby. Whether it is physical books or e-books, books are the crystallization of different wisdom. It is very interesting to travel through these piles of words.

"Yes, I can see the effect of fitness." Hugo has always been in good shape. "Hudson's Eagle" is also an action comedy. It can be seen that Hugo's skills are very agile, but later because of poison . Hugo lost a lot of weight as a result of the raspberry award, and it reached its worst level in the period before the Golden Raspberry Awards. After that, Hugo seemed to be recovering gradually. As a reporter, Nicholas could clearly see the changes in the process. "As for reading books, have you seen any interesting books recently?"

"Oh, I'm an old-fashioned person in this regard. I'm watching 'The Old Man and the Sea' recently." Hugo said with a smile. Before crossing, Hugo dropped out of school at the age of fifteen. Although many people say that reading is useless, because what society values ​​is ability, for example, knowledge such as mathematics or Chinese is hardly used in work, but it cannot be denied that books are more useful for vision, accumulation, and background. , the so-called bookishness is actually the most direct manifestation.

In order to make up for the regret of dropping out of school early, Hugo has been persevering in self-study. This is also the reason why Hugo's current temperament is different. Without years of accumulation, it is impossible for him to perform like this after crossing. The real handsome is never the appearance, because it is just a skin, without the support of the spirit, the beauty of the skin is difficult to be recognized by everyone, only the outstanding temperament can conquer everyone. Hugo now has more than skins.

"Ernest. Hemingway, a wise choice." Nicholas praised, and then nodded slightly, "When it comes to hobbies, I thought you would give me another answer, but I didn't expect that there is now unexpected result."

"Another answer?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and didn't react for a while. Exercise and reading are indeed things he insists on almost every day now. Hugo's first reaction was "Sugar-Coated Trap". This work was adapted from a novel, and he mentioned reading books. Did Nicholas hear some rumors and want to inquire about it?

But Nicholas gave Hugo a surprise, "guitar or... other musical instruments."

"Ah..." Hugo chuckled lightly, he really didn't expect this to happen, "Music!" Hugo sighed, "Actually, to be precise, I prefer to regard music as a part of my life, It's not just a hobby."

"Wow, talk to me about the meaning of this sentence, I seem to have noticed some inside information." The excitement between Nicholas' eyebrows was obviously active, and it seemed that this was the focus of his first interview today.

Hugo glanced at Joseph, he was considering his words, and he had to be careful when he didn't know his predecessor, "I've always been interested in music since I was a child, you know, the Beatles, Michael- Jackson..." Hugo was about to say that the Oasis Band was coming, but then he thought that the Oasis Band was only established in 1991, and it is still not a big hit now. If he mentions it now, it will be with "Since I was a kid" was contradictory, so Hugo quickly braked, "and The. Rolling. Stones."

"When I really started 'touching' music," Hugo said deliberately, emphasising that it was the beginning of his real entry into music, "it was because of Kurt. Cobain, you know, he It's a legend." This is somewhat different from Hugo's own situation, but the fact is that Nirvana was indeed a band that Hugo liked very much, and the Nirvana that rose strongly in 1987 is also different from Hugo's current situation. The time point is the most suitable, so Hugo found such an entry point for himself.

Sure enough, both Nicholas and Joseph suddenly realized that Joseph had never known when the bridge between Hugo and music was built, and now he has got the answer. Nicholas took over the topic and said, "Nirvana, 'Smells. Like. Teen. Spirit', classic!"

Nicholas was surprised to find that he and Hugo had so much in common that Nicholas felt this way during his first interview with the "Scent of a Woman" crew, but it's not until today that it became clear. "No wonder I am amazed when I hear you sing 'Next. Time. You. See. Me.' Turns out you're not a newbie."

As the chat went on, Hugo also lost the vigilance he had before the interview, and his mood was completely relaxed. Hearing Nicholas's words, Hugo immediately laughed heartily, "Haha, I'm a novice, absolutely Newbie." Hugo said honestly, "Actually, I'm not used to singing by myself, I'm more used to composing and then playing it through instruments. If there was a band, I shouldn't be the lead singer."

"Are you telling me you're a singer-songwriter? Are you showing off or...showing off?" Nicholas was already very skilled in such situations, but today he's obviously a little more relaxed, with a jump in his tone. He didn't even notice it himself.

"If you want to think so, then I will admit it." Hugo's words made Nicholas laugh outright, "In fact, I did create a few good songs, maybe there is a chance in the future, you can vote for Look at the record company, maybe Michael Jackson wants my song?"

"Dream..." Nicholas didn't think too much, he blurted out a joke, not like a reporter interview, but like a friend chatting, and after he said it, he also realized his "unprofessionalism", and quickly restrained some smiles , changed the subject, "Then the ending song of 'The Hero of the Sea' has attracted so much attention this time, is that what you expected?"

Although the song "Next time you meet me" is only played with the movie, Hugo has no plans to record and release a single, but the hotness of the topic is the top level in recent days, and the major radio stations The on-demand rate of the original song shows an abrupt rise curve. You know, Parker Jr.'s original song was released in 1956, and it wasn't one of the hits of the early '90s.

Hugo didn't notice the change in Nicholas, and the smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, "No, no, of course I didn't expect it. In fact, it was an accident to sing the ending song for the movie." Hugo briefly described the situation at that time, But I didn't say Uma's visit, but said that my singing during the break attracted attention, "Now after playing with the movie, I am relieved to get such a good smile."

"No, you did a great job this time, maybe a record company will find you to release an album soon." Nicholas complimented.

Hugo didn't take it seriously. Now is not the 21st century where "pigs, dogs, and all can make records". In the Internet age, due to the development of social networks and the simplicity of recording equipment, almost everyone can record their own albums, and record companies can record their own albums. The threshold for signing a contract has dropped again and again, not to mention the grassroots singing frenzy brought about by talent shows. In the early 1990s, the record industry has not yet shrunk, and the situation of a hundred schools of thought contending makes classic masterpieces continue, and the entry barrier is naturally relatively high.

Nicholas didn't expect a response from Hugo either. He continued, "So, do you feel the success of the movie now? Can you really feel the popularity coming?"

"I don't have too many feelings, can you describe it?" Hugo said with pursed lips and wide eyes. Although he was surrounded once when he went to the movies, to be honest, it was only more than 100 people. , Hugo really doesn't know what the real popularity looks like.

For Hugo, the hot popularity he imagined came from the concert. Standing on the stage of the concert with 100,000 people and watching everyone cheering for him was truly spectacular.

"The movie has achieved a good reputation, the box office has achieved good results, the audience began to scream and cheer for you, the number of jobs began to increase, and awareness and attention began to rise..." Nicholas looked at Hugo with a puzzled look every time he said a word. The situation is all a phenomenon that suddenly broke out after the successful premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng", which is more than double the excitement of the previous "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". evidence.

"If that's what you mean by popularity, then... yes, yes, I do feel it." Hugo nodded slowly to express his point of view, "but it's still not very real. You know, it seems that not long ago , I'm still in a situation where no one cares, and now all the lights suddenly start to gather, it's like a dream."

Looking at Hugo's slightly hesitant expression, Nicholas originally wanted to ridicule Hugo, which was his usual style, so he blurted out, "That's because you've never experienced true popularity, And then it just fell." This is Hugo's performance after saying "Dead Poets Society", "Of course, now you're enjoying the cheers, for Tom Cruise, it's nothing at all, so, no Gotta be too happy."

After speaking, Nicholas saw the interesting smile on Hugo's face, and nodded lightly to express his affirmation of his words. Nicholas changed his mind when the last half of the sentence came to his mouth, "The most important thing is, today You think it's all like a dream, maybe tomorrow there will be a better dream, don't be too surprised. Because, this is Hollywood."
