Chapter 302 Chapter 302
"Huh, what an unexpected afternoon, isn't it?" Hugo stretched a lot, looking at the crowd of onlookers who finally dispersed, and the street gradually returned to its usual normal scene. Then, when his eyes caught sight of the guitar case that Fujin was sitting on, full of coins and banknotes, Hugo smiled, "It was also an afternoon of good harvests."
Just now, Hugo and Fu Jin entered into the second cooperation, and performed the "Lithium" created on the spot. After the first run-in, the second time the two not only cooperated but also competed. The charm of live singing was brought out vividly, causing all the onlookers to follow in Joshua's footsteps, jumping and shouting like crazy, and even let passers-by mistakenly think that a crowd was gathering here to make trouble. A call to 911 drew the police.
After explaining the situation to the patrol officer, everyone burst into laughter. The patrol officer is naturally familiar with the street performances in the streets and alleys of New York, so he quickly understood what was going on, and he was a bit dumbfounded, but Still evacuated the crowd. After all, it is not far from Times Square, which can easily lead to traffic jams and chaos in the future; and it is not too far from the time when Forty-Second Street will be rejuvenated. If it continues to be so crowded, nothing will happen. Something will happen.
The onlookers could only reluctantly turn around and leave. Many people stepped forward, expressed their admiration to Hugo and Fugin, and then left their hearts in the broken guitar case. By the time the more than 300 people at the scene left scattered, it was already twenty minutes later.
Fu Jin looked down at the mess on the floor. Some trivial garbage did not cover up the scattered blood stains. These were traces left after their internal quarrel in the band not long ago. It was still so dazzling at this time, reminding him of the past. Months of entanglement, and the guitar case that was half broken by his hip is now stuffed with coins and banknotes is not just money, it's the audience's affirmation of the performance.
Fu Jin raised his head and looked at Hugo with a relaxed smile on his face. It was difficult for him to connect the gentle Hugo in front of him with the person who was engrossed and domineering after the performance. He couldn't help but nodded slightly. Chin, "Yes, what an incredible afternoon."
Hugo took his eyes off the guitar case. Although Hugo wasn't sure how much was in it, maybe not a thousand dollars, but a few hundred dollars was definitely more than enough. Hugo turned his attention to Fu Jin, "So, how did the audition feel today? Are you satisfied with everything? Do you have enough reason to leave for a new day?"
Hugo won't forget the reason for their performance just now. Maybe it was just a joke at the beginning, but after the cooperation just now, Hugo really has such thoughts. If they can get Fujin to join, then their band will be considered a good one. With the basic configuration, plus a keyboard player, the band can officially start practicing, which couldn't be better.
Fukukin could feel that the smile on Hugo's face was less of the banter and jokes before the performance, and more serious and sincere. Fu Jin must admit that Hugo is very convincing at the moment, and the cooperation just now was also very pleasant. It can even be said that such a performance process is the experience that Fu Jin expects to experience, but Fu Jin still shook his head.
"I'm very satisfied with your reasons, but I still can't do anything about it." Fu Jin doesn't know how it looks to others. In his own mind, a new day is the band he created and grew up together, although they have happened between them. Lots of feuds, and while the band didn't look so bright, Fokkin wanted to be able to fight alongside his bandmates.
Hugo was not surprised by Fu Jin's answer, but the disappointment on his face still showed without any disguise, "Fu Jin, you know, you missed a very good opportunity." Hugo paused, Then he shook his head helplessly, sketching a shallow smile, "Of course, I also missed a good drummer."
"I know the reason why you chose to stay, but I still hope you will think about it carefully. Maybe change the environment and find new partners. There will be a different beginning and a future." Hugo stopped wanting to refute His own Fujin, who expressed his views mildly.
Hugo himself is a member of glory to death, if possible, he is willing to continue in the band forever, this is not only a kind of loyalty, but also the friendship and loyalty between men, so Hugo can experience Fu Jin He was not surprised by Fu Jin's choice, but from Hugo's point of view, of course he still hoped that Fu Jin would join their team. This is the different way of thinking determined by different positions.
Fujin listened to Hugo's sincere words, and his tense mood couldn't help but relax. After Hugo expressed his views, he didn't mention it again, but raised his hand to help put away the instrument, and After cleaning up all the mess on the street, and finally escorting Fu Jin to a place where he could take a taxi, he turned around and left.
Looking at the back of Hugo leaving, the thought in Fu Jin's head suddenly began to pop up uncontrollably: maybe it's really a good thing to cooperate with Hugo. But in the end, Fu Jin had difficulty withdrawing his eyes, got into a taxi, returned to their band's base, and went to find his band mate. Conflict arises, and escape is never the solution.
"Why don't you persuade Fujin anymore? I think he is actually willing to cooperate with you from the bottom of his heart." Joseph, as a bystander, could see clearly, so he asked curiously. While Joseph didn't quite understand the technology or anything like that, he could really feel the spark of the first collaboration between Hugo and Fokin.
Hugo was amused by Joseph's words, and he knew that Joseph had never played in a band, "You are wrong, Fu Jin's reason is that it's good to work with me, but the real thought in his heart is to want to Staying in the original band, and this kind of thinking has the upper hand." The love of the band members who worked hard and worked together to stay is not so easy to give up.
Joseph curled his lips in disapproval, "I see that those bands are on and off. It's normal. It's never unusual to change a guitarist today and a bass player tomorrow."
This is a fact, and it is also a part of the band's life. After all, there are very few bands that can fight together forever. So Hugo had no way of rebutting Joseph, he just smiled and said, "Joe, it's like Lang came over and poached me, or Rick, and my sanity thinks it's a good idea, because anyone wants to talk to me. Working with senior brokers, they can provide better services, but I think it is more appropriate to cooperate with you. Fujin, this is the same reason. "
Joseph was stunned by Hugo's words. Looking at the indifferent but firm smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, Joseph avoided his gaze a little embarrassedly, and then muttered, "Let's say so, Fu Jin. Better not come."
"What? What did you say?" Hugo couldn't hear clearly and couldn't help asking.
"Nothing, nothing." Joseph shook his head, and then strode forward, trying to leave Hugo behind, but Joseph forgot that Hugo was also a tall man, a few steps Just caught up. Joseph saw the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth. In order to avoid Hugo's questioning again, he had to change the subject, "Where else would you like to go in New York next? Since it's a vacation, just play slowly."
"There are certain attractions that should be visited, or we should go to a restaurant near the Statue of Liberty for dinner..." Hugo's attention was indeed diverted, which made Joseph heave a sigh of relief.
There are not 100 or 80 large and small attractions in New York, and it is naturally impossible for Hugo to visit them one by one. He also does not like to come and go in a hurry like those tourists, so Hugo chose to slow down, such as After arriving at the Statue of Liberty, I stopped by Manhattan. The city began to wander.
Lower Manhattan. Although the urban area has a core area such as Wall Street, it is also the most dynamic area in Manhattan. It is the base of artists, dream-seeking models, starlets in the entertainment industry and gays. Washington Square, Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy, Tang people, it seems that more than half of Manhattan's people live in this small place. At the same time, New York University and Columbia University are also here, making this area full of youthful atmosphere.
Because of youth, because full of dreams and creativity, go to New York. The style of the urban area also represents the essence of New York fashion: relaxed, free, ingenious, full of creativity and personality, it is the place where street photographers are most willing to lurk. different from above. Noble class and middle class in the city. The luxury of downtown Fifth Avenue is expensive, down. The urban area is closer to young ethnic groups and students, and many white-collar workers are more willing to shop here.
So, just a downtown area is enough for Hugo to hang out for a long time, and this kind of tourism without a specific destination can not only see the general life of the city, but also feel the quality of this city that people are worthy of nostalgia. Hugo obviously couldn't be more fond of this way of traveling.
"Greenwich Village is really amazing. Do you remember that pirate bar? The appearance makes people yearn for it, but unfortunately it didn't open today." Hugo's body has returned to the location where he temporarily lived. The Aka Central Garden Hotel in the city (Aka. Central. Park), but the thought remains. The city is full of exotic and charming views.
"If you want, we can go again tomorrow. Anyway, the itinerary is all arranged by ourselves." Joseph is not very enthusiastic about travel. Anyway, it is just hanging out, and the requirements are not high.
Hugo shook his head, "There are other places I would like to see tomorrow. After the walk, if there is still time and you still want to go, then go there again..." Hugo was halfway through speaking. , but found that Joseph's expression was slightly stiff, and his footsteps slowed down. Hugo could not help but follow Joseph's line of sight, and then saw two unexpected figures appear in the hotel lobby.
