Chapter 199 199 Talented
Relax your fingers, feel the resonance between the strings and the air, leave the sound hole, and let the sound of the strings dissipate in the air little by little, just like the spring water is evaporated in the sun. After disappearing, a faint rainbow is left.
Hugo closed his eyes and felt the surging emotions in his heart. Although the melody of "Sunburn" is slow and the mood is calm, Hugo's inner surging was unprecedented when he composed it. Only in this way can the emotion permeated by the lyrics be authentic.
Writing this "Sunburn" today has a huge impact on Hugo himself, because it is different from the previous few times. In the past, Hugo was accustomed to generating inspiration, and let the inspiration freely combine to create a song. But today Hugo is forcing himself to concentrate on thinking and writing, constructing the context of a song without any ideas, and then filling it with flesh and blood, and finally completing the creation of a song. This is a completely different way of creating, but also a new test for the creator.
Luckily, Hugo did it, and not only did the job, but beautifully. After the journey, Hugo's understanding of music seems to be deepening. From the very beginning, he stumbled and stumbled a little unconfidently, but the passion of "Kill. Your. Heroes" last time was surging, and then this time " Sunburn" soars freely, and Hugo's musical talent seems to be being tapped bit by bit.
Hugo is not sure, this is because of the accumulation and precipitation of his music career in the past ten years, or because of the impact and benefits brought by the passage, or because his predecessor has unknown talents-since the predecessor has a strong interest in classical music. Literature has a solid foundation, allowing Hugo to be like a duck to water in works such as "Dead Poets Society" and "Smell the Fragrance to Know a Woman", so it is not impossible for his predecessor to hide his musical talent.
But no matter what the reason is, in this year, although Hugo's growth in music is not comparable to the breakthrough in acting, it still makes Hugo very happy. Music will always be the most solid harbor in Hugo's heart.
The song "Sunburn" evoked countless thoughts and memories in Hugo's mind. He had to close his eyes to calm down, and then opened them again. What greeted him was the audience standing up again, contributing the most hot applause. This is the real climax of today's recording of "The Oprah Talk Show"!
Oprah also got a standing ovation, which can definitely be said to have far exceeded her expectations, and Hugo's performance was jaw-dropping. No matter what others think, Oprah knows that Hugo's talent is far more than "Next. Time. You. See. Me" and "Sunburn." ”, maybe her understanding of music is not professional, but the real emotion touched her heart easily, there is no doubt.
The audience of 150, plus the staff of the program team, all stood up and applauded, expressing their admiration for Hugo in the purest form of applause.
Hugo stood up involuntarily, holding the guitar in his right hand, bowed slightly to the audience, and expressed his gratitude. Compared with street performances and rock nights, today's singing is more performative. This is also the first time that Hugo has performed on a real stage after crossing the road, and he is still a singer. The significance of this performance is Much more than just a performance.
The emotions in the chest are stirring, the smile on the corner of the mouth is blooming, and the confidence in the eyes is shining. Hugo was so excited that he had nothing to say. He couldn't even find an accurate word to describe his mood at the moment. It was as if "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" was recognized after it was released, and after the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng", he was surrounded by siege. Block, after Christmas, I learned that the Golden Globes were nominated, and Hugo's 1992 was sparkling, making him in a trance, thinking he was God!
"Wow, Hugo, you're serious? You're serious!" Oprah said excitedly, her voice trembling slightly through the sheer applause, "This is really too much Wonderful, let me tell you, this is really what you created on the spot just now."
"Hehe, yes, this is what I created just now." Hugo smiled and nodded and gave the answer. In fact, the melody of "Sunburn" just now did not fluctuate much, and the emotional tumbling was more of an inner turmoil. So Hugo quickly sorted out his emotions and returned to the recording of the show.
"You are really a genius. I don't know what those experts think. In the eyes of a music layman like me, you are a genius, so good that people can't speak." Oprah wants to use various Praise the words to pile up their admiration, but found that all the rhetoric is so pale and weak, in the end, it is some plain language that appears more real.
Only by truly witnessing Hugo's seven-step process and feeling the emotional changes brought about by the song "Sunburn" can we understand Oprah's feelings at the moment.
"If you keep saying this, I will be proud." The pressure on Hugo's shoulders completely disappeared. As for how everyone's reaction will be after the TV broadcast, this is not a problem that Hugo needs to worry about for the time being, so the smile on his face It also fully bloomed.
Oprah nodded vigorously, "You can be proud, you are worthy of pride." Oprah knew that her bet was successful! "Today we dug into Hugo's greatest wealth, and I thought, I should find another time to sit down with Hugo and have a good talk about music, and let him tell me, being such a great singer, composer, Why did he keep this talent hidden all the time and didn't show it."
Hugo looked at Oprah with a smile on the corners of his mouth. He noticed that Oprah had already started to finish. He searched the studio for a while, and sure enough, it was already about an hour. The process of recording the program was faster than expected. Much faster.
"It's a pity that today's show has come to an end." Sure enough, Oprah started to do the ending, but the smile on her face was filled with satisfaction, because she knew that this show was already a success "Today, we met actor Hugo. I think that one day in the future, we will officially know singer Hugo, so let's look forward to this day! Thank you for watching today's program."
After the ending, Oprah stood up and gave Hugo a big hug, then patted Hugo on the back with a look of approval.
Hugo originally wanted to turn around and leave as usual, but did not want to be surrounded by reporters, which surprised Hugo. After Joseph's explanation, Hugo realized that for large-scale programs such as "Oprah's Talk Show", reporters will be sent to the studio to listen to them. They can take pictures, but they must be reviewed by the program team.
After the recording of the program, these media will go back and publish the report according to the usual practice, and report on the first stage of the program. It may be the highlight of the show, or it may be the big gossip discovered during the recording of the show. Of course, it is more to warm up the viewing of the show. The newspapers and magazines that can participate in the recording of the program are naturally the media that the program team is familiar with. Therefore, the guests will also give these media face and accept brief interviews.
After the recording of this episode today, all the media invited to attend were boiling, and they interviewed Hugo immediately. If it was said that the ending song of "The Hero of the Sea" was just a gimmick to make reporters interested, then after today's program, the reporters are not only interested, but are swarming with curiosity, excitement, excitement and other emotions. .
Accompanied by Joseph, Hugo and the reporter had a simple exchange. The Hugo interview published by the "Los Angeles Times" mentioned that Hugo has always had a little experience in music creation, but today the reporters met face to face. Confirmed for Hugo.
The next day's publication of the "Chicago Sun" quickly detonated this topic completely, "Hugo not only showed his sunshine and cheerfulness during the recording of the program, but also showed us his humility and humor, but more importantly What's more, Hugo's musical talent shocked all the audience. It's hard to imagine that while people are lamenting Hugo's strong comeback as an excellent actor, they also discover that he has the power as a singer-songwriter. Striking talent.
Perhaps, there is more charm in Hugo waiting for us to discover, even though he has appeared in the public eye for ten years, but we still do not seem to really understand this young man who is only twenty-five years old. Since his debut as a fifteen-year-old child, he has gone through ups and downs all the way. Hugo has survived the pain of transformation through gritted teeth and appeared in front of us with a new attitude. We have reason to have more expectations for his future. . "
Not only the "Chicago Sun", but also the "Chicago. Tribune", which currently ranks first in Chicago's local reading volume and advertising revenue for a long time, also reported on the recording of "Oprah's Talk Show". The main daily newspaper in the West said in the report, "Hugo's talent in the show is comparable to the double Golden Globe nominations."
Such a top-notch compliment instantly made the "Yihai Xiongfeng" who had just completed four consecutive championships at this moment to a new height again, and people's sense of expectation for "Oprah's Talk Show" was also pushed to a new height. .
The original propaganda of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has come to an end, but now because of Hugo's "musical talent", a new round of topics has been triggered, and major programs have once again extended olive branches to Hugo. It seems that everyone I can't wait to see for myself whether Hugo's so-called musical talent is real, or just a means of "Oprah Talk Show" to gain ratings.
Although it is now New Year's Eve, most of the show production team is temporarily on vacation, but this does not prevent invitations from appearing on Joseph's desk one by one, filling Hugo's schedule for January. Such a situation, but Hugo and Joseph did not expect before recording the "Oprah Talk Show", such a high popularity makes the upcoming New Year full of joy.
