Chapter 26 026 Second Chance
Joseph turned over the "Vanity Fair (Vanity. Fair)" in his hand, but he was a little absent-minded, even if Woody. Allen betrayed his wife Mia. Farrow (Mia. Farrow) and his Korean descent The breaking news of his adopted daughter Soon-Yi. Previn's affair failed to attract his attention.
Song Yi is the daughter adopted by Mia Farrow and her ex-husband. She came to Woody Allen with Mia when she was less than ten years old. During her growth, Woody, who is over sixty years old, has been playing the role of father. But what is surprising is that the sixty-five-year-old Woody actually fell in love with Song Yi, who had just turned nineteen in 1990, which immediately put him in a very embarrassing situation.
Last week, when Mia was packing things in the living room, she accidentally found a box filled with photos of her adopted daughter Song Yi's naked body, thus discovering the terrible affair between her husband and her adopted daughter. Mia collapsed. This paragraph is not. After Lun Zhilian was exposed this week, it caused an uproar throughout the United States, not only because of the huge age gap between Woody and Song Yi, but also because of their legal father-daughter relationship, which is really appalling.
Thanks to the scandal in the Allen family, almost everyone's attention is focused on the lace gossip here. For several days in a row, the front pages of major news media have been dominated by Woody Allen. In such a situation Come on, even the 49th Golden Globe Awards have stepped aside, not to mention Hugo's embarrassment at the Golden Raspberry Awards.
Originally, Joseph wanted to see the follow-up reports about the golden sour plum and about the audition for "Love in the River", but now he is obviously not in the magazine, and the corner of his eyes always drifts to the side involuntarily. At this time, Hugo is sitting At the only desk in the room, he lowered his head and scribbled in a magazine, his expression was very focused, and he looked extra soft in the poor light of the room.
After they drove home just now, Hugo rummaged through to find a pen, and then went around looking for paper, claiming that he wanted to record his creative inspiration, but unfortunately he couldn't find any blank paper at all. In the end, Hugo Grab a magazine and start writing and drawing in the blank space.
Joseph felt that he was really eye-opening. On the one hand, he felt incredible that Hugo could actually create music. On the one hand, he felt unbelievable, and he showed a gesture that he didn't care at all; on the other hand, he was very curious that Hugo would tinker with it. something out. Although I heard Hugo hum a few words just now, I think it is really a very good song, but this does not mean that Hugo can create a complete song, so what kind of song will Hugo write? As for the song, Joseph is really curious.
"Aha!" Hugo hummed there for a long time, and then showed a big smile. Looking from the side, the joy at the corners of his mouth and eyes seemed to flow down like a creamy yellow light, forming in the light and shadow. A handsome silhouette, wonderful.
Joseph wondered, is this a sign that things are going well or is the creation finished? This was Hugo's sudden stretch, and Joseph immediately withdrew his gaze and looked back at the "Vanity Fair" in his hand, as if he was fully engaged in reading the magazine. But after putting on makeup for a while, Joseph didn't hear any movement, so he could not help but quietly move his eyes to the right, and out of the corner of his eye he soon saw that Hugo was studying the old magazine again. Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly straightened his neck, wanting to see how Hugo was progressing.
Suddenly, Hugo turned his head, and Joseph didn't turn his head in a hurry, and he met Hugo's line of sight. This immediately made Joseph a little embarrassed, and he almost choked on his own saliva. He was stunned. Then he looked back at the magazine nonchalantly, but the trembling of his back still betrayed his secret.
Hugo saw Joseph's stubborn appearance, and the smile on his face bloomed without any concealment, then turned around with the magazine, and sat down facing Joseph, "I'm done creating, how are you, what do you want? Have a look?"
Joseph's eyes still stayed on the magazine, but he couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was Woody Allen or Mia Farrow. At this time, he found the opportunity to cough lightly, "I don't understand music, you give me I see what to do."
"After the creation, let's communicate. You can't read the score, but you can read the lyrics." Hugo actually knew that Joseph was very curious. After all, his predecessor had never shown any musical talent, so he suddenly started writing. Now, as an agent, Joseph is naturally curious. So Hugo thought, instead of hiding, it is better to communicate with Joseph in an open and honest way. Besides, the meaning of music is to share. If it is only a person who enjoys himself, then the music will not reflect its value.
Joseph still didn't look away from the magazine in front of him, but pondered for a while, as if after thinking for a while, then said, "You can sing it again and listen," Joseph raised his head "naturally" He got up and looked at Hugo calmly, "Songs must be sung to know the effect. You can't see anything just by looking at the lyrics."
Hugo didn't answer, but just laughed, which made Joseph a little embarrassed, but his expression remained flat, "What are you laughing at?" Hugo shook his head and waved his hands, "No, nothing, just the first time. It's a little nervous to sing a song I wrote."
In the past in the band of Glory to the Dead, Hugo was a rhythm guitarist, not the lead singer. Although he occasionally played the position of the sub-vocalist, it was not his main job. So Hugo's sentence is not a problem in the strict sense.
"My vision is very wide, I enjoy every day I walk on the road, and admiring the world outside the window means saying goodbye to the past and starting the journey today." Hugo's voice is so warm, with a light blue The faint melancholy of the melody slowly dances like a firefly in the dirty small space, gradually bringing the moving melody into my heart.
But all of a sudden, Hugo burst out with huge energy, and the power in the sound was gradually released along with the rise of the melody. It was different from the hoarseness of rock and roll smoke, and it was more of a velvet-like thickness. There was constant pulling, gorgeous, "I heard Mr. Halley's Comet whispering to me, 'Why are you always standing still', even the man who landed on the moon will soon disappear somewhere in the stratosphere." Then Hugo couldn't help closing his eyes, and all the energy was released at this moment, "Please tell my parents, I have done my best to let them know that this is my own life, and I hope to get their understanding. "
Listening carefully to the emotions in the lyrics, the sunshine in the sourness and guilt is like the sunshine falling through the dark clouds, coating the dark clouds with a layer of light gold, so beautiful that people are speechless. Hugo's profound interpretation of the lyrics makes the emotion of the melody released incisively and vividly.
Joseph was a little stunned. He guessed that this was a very good song, but the reality was far beyond his imagination; he also guessed that Hugo had a good voice. Although his singing skills were still a little jerky, his emotional outbursts covered it up. These flaws make this song exude infinite charm.
Joseph can clearly feel Hugo's inner struggle. On the one hand, it is the fetters of the family, and on the other hand, it is the pulling of dreams. This is a story that almost everyone will experience. Is it to succumb to the pressure of life or to break free from the constraints and be brave. Pursue your dreams.
In Hugo's song, his answer is given: "I'm not sulking, but calm down and say: sometimes leaving means a second chance (Second. Chance). Please don't let them I'm in tears, I'm not afraid of what I'm saying, it's my unique voice, so please listen carefully, just for now."
Hugo poured all the entanglement, hesitation, pain, and nostalgia into the song, weaved it into the melody, and sang it out in a cathartic way, as if standing on the edge of a cliff and shouting to the empty valley, Let emotions erupt unbridled.
"Sometimes leaving means a second chance", this is Hugo's answer, simple, simple but true and moving. Joseph looked at Hugo who was singing hard in front of him, and a corner of his heart couldn't help but be moved. Although Hugo has been working hard with a positive attitude since the Golden Raspberry Award, this moment is so different. Because Joseph saw the power of dreams in Hugo.
"This is my chance, it's my chance!" Hugo's voice fully expressed the emotions in his heart, and the unease and apprehension after crossing the road disappeared at this moment. Whether it is successful or not is irrelevant, just because Hugo knows that this is his opportunity. If he does not seize it, then he will not only live up to God's arrangement, but will regret it for the rest of his life. Therefore, he does not intend to hesitate any longer, nor does he intend to worry anymore, he will seize this opportunity tightly and pursue his own dream, because he does not want to miss it.
"Second. Chance", this is Hugo's voice at this moment!
Joseph looked at Hugo's emotional face, and the voice of exclamation came out of his heart uncontrollably. He wanted to say something, but couldn't find an accurate expression. In Joseph's view, Hugo was saying that, after a life-and-death struggle on the night of the Golden Raspberry Awards, and finally survived, this was the second chance God gave him, and he would take it firmly. This persistence moved Joseph.
However, a series of sharp phone rings interrupted this beautiful moment, not only ending Hugo's singing, but also interrupting Joseph's inner turmoil. Joseph stood up a little embarrassedly, walked to the bedside table and picked up the receiver of the landline phone, "Yes, I'm Joseph Gibbs, Hugo Lancaster's agent."
Joseph glanced back at Hugo, then continued, "Yes... no problem, of course... well, I know... about this, we'll call you back later, okay?... OK, Good. Thank you, thank you for calling."
After hanging up the phone, Joseph turned to meet Hugo's doubtful and expectant eyes, then took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his voice, "You got the role of Charlie!"
