Chapter 1742 1742 Lightweight

Neil wiped the sweat from his forehead and trotted all the way into Hugo's villa, leaving the paparazzi behind him outside the door, blocking out the noise, and the sea breeze blowing at him suddenly became refreshing, unconsciously. Fatigue has been reduced a lot.

Since they were only staying in Los Angeles for two nights before heading back to Europe, they collectively stayed at Hugo's villa in Malibu. Just arrived here, everyone was in a mess, Neil chose to go out for a jog to relax his body and spirit. As a result, it was followed by a large group of paparazzi - I have to sigh at the super-fast speed of the paparazzi in Los Angeles, and it was only after they came back that they were cleaned up.

Walking down the stairs, he saw Pedro who was sitting cross-legged on the beach chair with the sheet music, and Neil opened his eyes repressedly, "Pepe, you are... studying the sheet music for 'Sail'. ?" Neil didn't hide his surprise at all, and his face was full of incredible.

Pedro raised his head, saw Neil's eyes, and pouted his lips contemptuously, "Why, I'm not studying math problems, so why are you surprised." The drum beat of the song "Voyage" is very distinctive. Pedro and Fu Jin's cooperation has become crucial. In the previous tours, Pedro has made mistakes to varying degrees.

At first everyone thought that there was a problem with Fukukin's drums - in fact, there was a problem, proving that Fukukin and Hugo's guesses were correct; but after the drums were re-adjusted, the rhythm was still not quite right. right. For the audience, it's hard to tell the difference, because it's only the quarter-time fit that's a problem, even Hugo can't hear it clearly, but Fokine and Neil, who are half-trained, are very sensitive. Finally, after practice, I found out that it was Pedro who had a problem.

So, because of this, Pedro has been working hard lately.

Neil shook his head with a smile, "No, just because tomorrow is the Grammys, I thought you would jump up and down with excitement, and then look forward to how many trophies you can win tomorrow." Twelve nominations, even if it's glory to death, They are also ordinary people, it is impossible to have no reaction at all, and the team members will discuss this matter.

Pedro rolled his eyes angrily, "You thought it was last year." Last year, Pedro and Alfonso attended the Grammys alone, and eventually won two phonographs. This incident is also one of the precursors of internal divisions within Glory to Death.

Of course, the band members are all relieved now, so they can freely joke about these things.

"I really thought you were the same as last year." Neil's words immediately made Pedro wave his fists in anger, expressing his dissatisfaction strongly, which made Alfonso, who came out of it, also laugh.

"Pepe, don't you really look forward to winning the award tomorrow?" Alfonso said with a playful expression on his face.

This time Pedro calmed down instead, and grinned and said, "Looking forward, why don't you look forward to it! It's better to take a lot, and then five of us in the band, each of whom will take turns on stage to give their acceptance speeches, how comfortable it is!" A sarcastic remark said that both Alfonso and Neil burst into laughter.

Resist the lure of fame and fortune. Confused, withstood the blow of fame and fortune, this is a compulsory course in the entertainment industry. Glory to death stumbled on this road. All the way to the present, all five members have seen it. This state of mind is forged by the precipitation of time and the tempering of setbacks. At this time, their mentality has been different, perhaps not refined, but at least calm.

While speaking, Alfonso saw Hugo and Cameron approaching from the end of their line of sight. Obviously, they had just walked to the beach below to go for a walk.

Alfonso looked at Neil and asked with his eyes, "Do we need to avoid it?" About Hugo and Cameron, the band members actually know more or less, but they are a group of big men, Usually, such delicate things are rarely discussed, and even if they are mentioned, they are drunk and dismissed.

When Hugo came home just now, Cameron jumped into Hugo's arms excitedly, and he couldn't hide his eager excitement. Although Hugo was exhausted from the journey and fell asleep in the car just now, he still cheered up and watched the welcome cake that Cameron prepared for them, and then went for a walk on the beach with Cameron. Obviously there is a lot to talk about.

Neil looked back. At this time, Hugo's face was still the same faint tenderness, no different from usual, but Cameron's expression was not as excited as before, slightly calm, but his eyes were slightly red and swollen. , you can't see it without careful observation. This also makes it impossible to guess a reason, whether the two people opened their hearts and then returned to normal, or whether the two people experienced some disputes and barely maintained calm.

Neil gave Alfonso a helpless look, then shrugged.

Before they could make a decision, Cameron and Hugo walked over. Hugo's footsteps stopped. Cameron, who was holding Hugo's arm, had already stepped forward, but after thinking about it, he took it back and stood quietly beside Hugo. Looking at Neil, Alfonso and Pedro in front of him, he took the initiative to say hello, "Why are you all outside, why don't you go in and have a good rest?"

Pedro, who usually talks the most, lowered his head dully and did not speak. In the end, Alfonso showed a polite smile, "There are many issues that need to be discussed during the tour. Originally, there was not enough time for practice, and now there are more. I went for a trip, so I had to use these gaps to discuss more."

Alfonso explained it in great detail, and Cameron lifted his chin suddenly, but he wanted to pick up a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

Looking at Cameron's expression, this made Alfonso a little surprised - because Cameron is a loyal fan of rock and roll. When she first met Hugo, she and the members of the band who died of glory were all talkative . But why has it developed to such a degree now?

The silence suddenly spread, and the scene was awkward for a while. Alfonso looked at Hugo and wanted to let him speak, but Hugo was lost in thought, a little absent-minded, and did not notice the strange atmosphere of the scene, which gave Alfonso a headache.

Just when Alfonso bit his head and wanted to say something, Joseph's voice came from behind, "So you volunteered to come forward, huh, didn't you think that I might refuse...you know, Hugo is very busy..." Joseph walked out of the hall with a smile on his face, because he was talking on the phone, so he did not notice the abnormality in the courtyard, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Joseph's calmness broke the rigid atmosphere of the scene, which made Alfonso heave a sigh of relief. Neil and Pedro exchanged glances, then pulled Alfonso, and the three walked towards the hall, avoiding this particular situation in the courtyard.

Joseph waved to Cameron, showing an apologetic smile, and said with his mouth, "I need to borrow Hugo for a while, sorry." Cameron looked up at Hugo, and then smiled generously. He nodded and let go of his arm, but he still stood there and did not leave. Joseph was speaking into the receiver at this time, "I can't make any guarantees, but at least I can get Hugo to answer the phone."

Joseph took down the receiver, covered it, and said to Hugo, "It's Paul, he said there was a special person named Archie Manning who wanted to talk to you. I'm really sorry, Paul was a little impulsive. , claiming that I am your manager."

Paul Gibbs, brother of Joseph.

Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled and shook his head, "It's fine, it's just a phone call." Hugo was a little absent-minded, glanced at Cameron, then paused, pursed his lips and turned his eyes away Come, then turn around and walk towards the swimming pool with Joseph.

"Remember, Paul, don't make any guarantees." Joseph was still a little worried. He had never made such an unreasonable request to Hugo. nine years old.

Hugo patted Joseph's shoulder in comfort, then took the microphone, and heard Paul's energetic voice still rambled, "...It's just about football, I'll never talk nonsense." The corner of Hugo's mouth Outline a shallow arc, "Hey, this is Hugo."

Paul's voice was caught in an instant, there was a sudden complete silence, and after about half a second, he said in a panic, "Hugo, oh, God, Hugo, I'm sorry I disturbed you. Oh, no, I... ...well, I'm Paul Gibbs, good evening."

Paul's topsy-turvy words made Hugo feel completely relaxed, he chuckled lightly, "Good evening, I'm Hugo Lancaster."

"I know, I know..." Paul murmured in disbelief, "God, God!" Paul patted his head so hard that there was even a crisp thump from the receiver, and then Paul took two deep breaths "Hugo, it's like this, the star quarterback of my college football team, he's a great guy, no, he's the best player in the entire Southeastern Conference, maybe even one of the best players in college history. one."

Paul said a few words, but found that Hugo did not answer, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "Hugo, are you still there?"

Hugo chuckled twice, "Then what? Do you want to introduce this player to me?"

"Yes...no..." Paul was incoherent again and had to adjust his breathing, "The thing is, he is facing the most important choice in his life right now, and he needs some help. Our entire team is the most important All he likes is Glory to the Dead music—and your movies, of course," Paul added hurriedly, "and he's no exception. So his dad wants, uh, wants to talk to you."

Hugo was already full of question marks at this time, but he heard Paul continue to say, "Excuse me, can you talk to his father on the phone? He will tell you the details."

"Oh, so it's not this player, it's his father." Hugo felt that the relationship was a bit confusing. Paul repeatedly said yes, the earnest voice could be clearly understood even through the microphone, Hugo chuckled lightly, "I think...that's all right. So, what's his name?"

"Archie Manning."
