Chapter 25 025 Chasing Dreams

On the way back from Universal Studios, there was silence again, neither of them said a word. Joseph drove intently, while Hugo leaned on the side of the car window and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

Palm trees, billboards, bushes cast reflections in the eyes, and the sun overhead penetrates the cloudless blue sky and sprinkles the entire city of angels, covering every object in sight with a golden layer. The tulle, the dazzling color made the vision blurred and dazzling, but Hugo was reluctant to close his eyes. He greedily looked at the scene in front of him, trying to find a shadow of the city in his memory from this strange world. , he does have the illusion that he is still in the third. Speeding down Palms Boulevard in Asia, the bandleader was driving, and they were on their way to a small show, and someone could even hear someone's awful grunting back and forth in the roar of the engine from the back seat.

At the age of fourteen, Hugo watched a movie called "Nuovo. Cinema. Paradiso", and he was moved by the phrase "If you don't go out for a walk, you'll think this is the whole world" , he realized that chasing his dreams was the most important thing.

So Hugo put his dream of listening to the Beatles and Oasis into practice when he was ten years old. He and a group of like-minded partners formed a band. There isn't a proper name, but it doesn't affect their love for music. Originally thought it was just a whim of the children, but unexpectedly, they became self-taught talents, and they even tinkered with some tricks, and even started to learn and create by themselves in a ignorance, although the works at the beginning were really terrible, but this way life is when they are happiest.

On the first anniversary of the band's formation, Hugo gave the band a name called Death. Or. Glory, which was actually derived from Japanese manga, which contained their dreams and desires when they were young and frivolous. in. After having a name, the band is not just content to entertain themselves, they hope to go out and perform, hoping to make the band stand on the real stage.

In fact, they made it, too, winning a full house at the school's New Year's Day party -- a sense of accomplishment that none of the band's five members will ever forget, even though they didn't perform a song they wrote. And so a stronger desire was born: they were going to go out and do all kinds of shows and be a real band. Such a desire is so powerful that it even makes them fight with their families.

In fact, Hugo's personality is neither flamboyant nor rebellious. Before the establishment of the band, he was a typical student representative with excellent academic performance and excellent academic performance, which also made his parents even more unable to understand his dedication to the band. Forming a band is incredible enough, but at fifteen years old, how could their parents allow them to abandon their studies and start a band? This is of course impossible.

The result of the story is very clear, the five members of the band who died of glory have all left home - including the well-behaved Hugo, and became a member of the huge underground rock music in the country. This time, it will be ten years. The passage of time seems to be only a brief moment. Later, Hugo came here.

If someone asks Hugo, do you regret it? Hugo might answer "no", but he couldn't hide the bitterness in his smile.

Although the process of chasing his music dream was hard, it was all worth it, even ten years of hard work. When everyone else was studying on campus, he had already found his goal and began to work hard for his life goal. Struggle, such a life is so wonderful, so beautiful, so unforgettable. So, Hugo has no regrets.

Just like the saying in "How Steel Is Made": People, the most precious thing is life: it is given to us only once. A man's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret his wasted years, nor will he be ashamed of his mediocrity; so that when he is dying, he can say: I have given up my whole life. And all the energy is dedicated to the most magnificent cause in this world - the struggle for the liberation of mankind.

Of course, Hugo was not that great, fighting for all mankind, he just dedicated his entire life and all his energy to his dream.

It's just that the price of chasing dreams is too high, not because of hard life or a long future, but because he failed his parents' hopes. Hugo went against the ardent wishes of his parents and embarked on the road of music. Although he has been working hard to repair the relationship with his parents for ten years, but unfortunately the results are very small, especially his father, he has never been able to understand let alone accept it. , which also made Hugo wandering all year round. This bitterness can only be savored by himself in the dead of night.

Closing his eyes, he could still vaguely see the grand scene of the Midi Rock Festival in his mind. Hugo couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to stand on the stage in glory, and whether they would be closer to their dreams. One point; after he crossed over, what happened to his bandmates, and what happened to his parents...

Hugo took a deep breath and tried to get himself out of this lost emotion. He has come to 1992 and can't go back. Focusing on the present is the most important thing.

The audition for "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" gave Hugo a lot of confidence. Although this was not a breakthrough in music, it has always been Hugo's dream to become an actor. Actors performed different people's roles on the big screen. Life brings joy, sadness, remembrance, pain and happiness to people. The charm of movies is so beautiful and timeless that it is easy for people to indulge in it.

Before crossing the road, Hugo had made some progress in music, and receiving the invitation from the Midi Rock Festival was a huge opportunity, but in terms of movies, Hugo had few opportunities. Come to learn acting skills, observe the shooting situation on the spot and imagine how you will perform in the position of the protagonist.

Now, Hugo has participated in the audition for two movies. Although "Love in the River" ended in failure, the progress of "Scent of a Woman" is very gratifying. Even if Hugo has not yet won the role of Charlie, he still Let Hugo believe that he is talented in acting, and his efforts over the years are not in vain. This is the greatest good news after crossing over.

Looking at the receding scenery outside the window, Hugo clearly realized that this is Los Angeles, this is Hollywood, and this is the center of world cinema. Here, the story of overnight fame is constantly being staged, and the bridges of one step to the sky emerge one after another. Hugo doesn't want him to become popular overnight, he only hopes that he can have more opportunities to realize his dreams, that's enough, because for the rest of the road, he will rely on his own strength to the end!

"My vision is extremely broad. I enjoy every day I walk on the road ahead and appreciate the world outside the window, which means saying goodbye to the past and starting the journey from today." Hugo hummed softly, putting his inner emotions into music The form is passed out, which is also the way Hugo is best at.

Music is a very wonderful thing. It is said that music has no borders, because it is composed of musical symbols, conveys emotions through lyrics, and finally ferments the emotions through the performance of singers. Therefore, this also makes music one of the most direct ways of human emotional communication. After each seemingly ordinary musical symbol is pieced together according to the rhythm of emotion, it will become a resonance deep in the heart. This feeling is really amazing .

After the establishment of Glory to Death, Hugo and his teammates have been learning music and self-studying and creating. Of course, in the previous few years, they could only be regarded as the level of playing a family. It was not until they entered the underground rock music industry that they could be regarded as real Learning is done systematically. Hugo's musical talent is more manifested in creation. On the contrary, his musical instrument talent is very general. So far, he has only learned the guitar, and his playing is not very good. However, in terms of music creation, he has made great progress. quick.

But unfortunately, Hugo's learning and writing time is still too short, which also makes the music created by himself to the death of glory not of high quality, which has continuously delayed their time to become famous. Today is the first time that Hugo has an inspiration in his head after crossing over. This inspiration is different from before. It seems to have a little more sparkling spirituality. , so Hugo hummed directly.

Listening to the music that escaped from Hugo's mouth, Joseph finally reacted. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Hugo, "What song is this?" It was vague, but the moving melody grabbed his ears and aroused his curiosity.

Hugo turned his head and looked over, with a big smile, "I just wrote it myself."

Joseph's first reaction was to look at Hugo in surprise. At this moment, Hugo realized that something was wrong: Could it be that his predecessor was a sound idiot? No way……

Just when Hugo was thinking about how to round the circle, he saw the road ahead, "Attention! You are driving!" A roar suddenly made Joseph turn his head to look at the road ahead, and there was a truck in front of him. Driving, but fortunately Hugo shouted fast, otherwise it would be troublesome if the distance was closer, Joseph quickly stepped on the brakes slightly, so that the speed of the car could be controlled.

It was at this moment that Hugo finally came back to his senses and explained, "It's boring to write and play. What, do you think it's good?"

Joseph didn't turn his head this time, still looking at the road ahead, "Yes, very good. It's just that I didn't know you had this talent before, it's a little surprising."

Hugo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it's good that he's not a sound idiot, otherwise it would be troublesome to explain, he laughed, pretending to be lighthearted, "Then if I can't get an actor job, maybe I can still Sing and sing for a little income. Maybe one day I can release an album and become a singer!"

"Cut. You thought you were John. Lennon." Joseph poured cold water on Hugo dismissively.
