301 Chapter 301

The biggest charm of street performance is that the performers can play freely and communicate directly with passers-by. Of course, like Broadway, the audience's reaction is also the most direct. Although the audience of street performances may not be so professional, for the band, what they need is to communicate with the audience closely, and this experience is very valuable for the band.

For example, now, although there are only more than 50 people watching, the uneven cries of "collapse" have made the scene very lively and turned into a noisy ocean. Even New Yorkers who had no interest in the onlookers could not help slowing down, wanting to find out what was going on here.

At this moment, someone in the crowd recognized Hugo's appearance and blurted out, "Hugo?" Some people next to him hadn't reacted yet, but some people immediately realized who this familiar person was in front of them." Hugo Lancaster!"

"Hey, man, you really do!" The audience member who recognized Hugo did not swarm to contain him, but gave a thumbs up to express his inner admiration.

"Hugo!" "Dude!" "Lancaster"... A series of shouts rang out one after another, obviously more and more people recognized the young man who was brilliant a month ago, "Yihai Xiongfeng "The eight consecutive championships are indeed mighty, of course, Hugo is not too embarrassed now, just a little back.

This scene instantly made Forty-Second Street lively, with the voices shouting "Hugo Lancaster" gradually increasing, and the busy and indifferent New Yorkers were finally willing to stop completely. The number of onlookers began to climb, and it didn't take long before they passed the 100-person mark, making the streets of Forty-Second Street very lively, even when people passed by in Times Square not far away, they couldn't help but talk about it.

Several people in the crowd who recognized Hugo also laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so good!" One person even shouted, "Brother, let's make an album, I'd like to get a Jackson. "Andrew Jackson, the character on the US twenty dollar bill, caused a group of people around him to laugh.

Hugo's musical talent has gradually become known since the ending song of "The Hero of the Sea", and reached its peak after the "Oprah Talk Show" was broadcast. Many people originally thought that Hugo would follow this shareholder style. Signing with a record company, after all, that's how the entertainment industry works--in fact, two record companies did contact Joseph, but unfortunately, the Golden Globes turmoil followed, and countless negative news gradually covered up Hugo The light on the body, the matter about the music disappeared.

Since Hugo is not a professional singer, but an actor, this kind of thing needs to be done in one go. After missing the opportunity of "Oprah Talk Show", things naturally stranded. If you want the record company to think like this again, you have to wait for the next opportunity.

But to everyone's surprise, today's unplanned coincidence, the audition and discussion between Hugo and Fu Jin turned into an opportunity, allowing the more than 50 onlookers at the scene to once again see Hugo's amazing creative talent. This really confirms the sentence: unintentionally inserting willows and willows, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

"Hugo, another song!" Someone in the crowd shouted again, "The song just now wasn't enjoyable enough, let's show it again!"

This shout was immediately affirmed by a lot of people in the crowd, "One more song! One more song!" The shouting sounded immediately, with the applause getting louder and louder. This made the crowd just gathered excited. Could it be that there is any special performance today, and the scene is so enthusiastic, which is not common in street performances!

Looking at Hugo who was standing in the center of the crowd with a smile on his face, Joshua seemed a little surprised. Hugo, who came out of the music, immediately restrained his radiance and appeared more gentle and restrained. It didn't mean that he was not handsome or dazzling. , but the whole atmosphere has changed. Hugo, who was in the performance just now, had a kind of vigorous vitality and surging passion. The kind of light that burst from the depths of his heart made Hugo look like a seven-foot giant. And now Hugo still shines with charming brilliance, especially the classical charm between the eyebrows always makes the corners of the mouth involuntarily outline, less pressing momentum, more a touch of intimidating tenderness.

Joshua didn't know Hugo, but he heard people shouting constantly around him, so he had to turn around and ask the people around him, "Excuse me, is this singer famous? Is it a singer or..." Joshua didn't know how to describe it. He knew that there were many powerful singers in the rock circle who did not release albums. He guessed that the person in front of him might be this type.

"Oh, he's an actor, don't you know?" The person being questioned next to him is a middle-aged uncle with a bald head, "I'm not familiar with him either, so I know he starred in a' It seems that there are a few good movies in the past, oh, by the way, he did a movie with Al Pacino, and I really like the short guy in Al."

The middle-aged uncle was still chatting, but Joshua was very surprised. He didn't expect such an answer at all, which made him look at Hugo's gentle and bright smile again, saying to himself. murmured to himself, "Hugo Lancaster, actor?" It was a joke!

Joshua was surprised by Hugo's job, but the shouts of the onlookers became more and more intense, "One more song! One more song!" Obviously, everyone was still not satisfied with the performance just now.

Hugo was not sufficiently prepared for such an unexpected situation, turned his head to look at Fu Jin, and cast his eyes on inquiry. Fu Jin is a veteran of acting. He has experienced countless performances in Los Angeles, but this time he has performed all the way from Los Angeles to New York. This experience of cheering from the audience is really long gone. He took a deep breath with some enjoyment. For a moment, you can feel the joyful comfort in the air.

Fu Jin greeted Hugo's sight. He knew Hugo's considerations. In fact, the two of them were not in the same band at all. The cooperation on the song just now could only be regarded as a sudden burst of sparks. It is estimated that it will be more difficult to cooperate again. , and there are only guitars and drums, and it may not be better to perform again.

But Fu Jin did not answer the doubts in Hugo's eyes, but asked, "What was the name of the song just now?"

Although the crowd was still a bit noisy, everyone gradually became quiet, especially when they heard Fu Jin's question, someone loudly echoed, "Yes, Hugo, what was the name of the song just now?"

Joshua was also immediately excited and shouted out involuntarily, "The style of this song is very similar to Nirvana, are you thinking of Kurt Cobain tribute?"

"Yes, yes, I like Nirvana very much." Hugo nodded again and again, "This song can be said to be inspired by Kurt Cobain." Hugo gave a positive answer, "but more inspiration comes from This friend of mine, Fokin, he just had a not-so-friendly argument, and in fact, I had some not-so-good things a while back, and then we... er, coincidentally had the first It was a collaboration, so I wrote this song."

"So, you're saying that this song was created live?" Joshua apparently didn't watch "The Oprah Talk Show", and unexpectedly dislocated his jaw. Hugo shrugged, noncommittal, while someone next to him began to tell Joshua about the magic of Hugo's seven-step success on the show.

Hugo looked back at Fu Jin, and then thought for a while, "I don't even know the name of this song..." Mainly because the lyrics of this song are relatively free and abstract, completely like a brain***** The scattered thoughts in the *** are generally vented, so it seems a bit out of place to use any accurate word as the title of the song.

Suddenly, an unprecedented word popped up in Hugo's brain, "'Lithium'?" Hugo himself didn't know how the word came out, and the people around were even more confused. Kim was the first to blurt out, "What?"

Hugo realized at this time that it should be Lancaster's profound knowledge that gradually merged with himself, so he already had this knowledge deep in his mind, and then provided help at the right time.

Lithium is a chemical substance that is a very effective mood stabilizer. It acts as a sedative, calms the nerves, controls nervous disorders, and can treat bipolar disorder. This word is used in this song just right, because the lyrics are originally to describe the collapse of individuals, the collapse of social groups, and lithium is just a tranquilizer.

So Hugo repeated firmly, "'Lithium'." Although this song has the same name as the song "Lithium" on Nirvana's "Never Mind" album last year and has similar styles, they are two completely different songs. With different creations, Hugo injected his own unique charm into the songs through his own inspiration.

This time everyone understood, but not many people understood the meaning, and Fu Jin also looked at Hugo in confusion. Hugo did not intend to explain further, he laughed, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, we two will play this 'Lithium' again, thank you, how about it?"

Fu Jin took a deep breath, retracted his attention, and was full of fighting desire. Looking at Hugo, "Why not?"

This time, it was not Fu Jin who played the drums first, but Hugo who played the guitar first, and the gentle melody sounded again on the streets of Forty-Second Street. Three hundred people are gathered together, but the problem is, the people on the outside can't see anything at all, because neither Hugo nor Fujin have audio equipment! So the people on the outside are just joining in the fun.

But it is such a scene that joins in the fun, but it happens strangely on the busy streets of New York. It is a rare sight for several years. People are constantly talking about how Hugo created songs on the spot, how he interprets the lyrics in a mesmerizing way, and how everyone at the scene expresses their emotions heartily... Maybe, this day will become A legend of New York street performance.

Standing in the crowd, Joshua's gaze towards Hugo gradually became firmer, bursting with enthusiasm. He firmly believed that Hugo was a musical genius, and he was eagerly looking forward to Hugo's brilliant light in the field of music. Moment!
