Chapter 343 343 Music Partner
"If she said yes..." Hugo's response immediately became the front page headlines of major gossip newspapers the next day. Although Hugo did not express more opinions on Uma's remarks, it was only a sentence. It's enough to get journalists to diverge.
Some people interpret Hugo's words as a retaliatory attack on Uma, thinking that the breakup of the two was actually an unhappy breakup, and the two sides had a fierce quarrel; It is satirizing that Uma reverses right and wrong, and it is Uma's fault that the date is terminated; some people interpret it as a reluctant admission, thinking that Hugo was told by Uma on the key point, and for a while he did not know how to deal with it, so he acquiesced... …
All kinds of news reports are overwhelming, and it can be expected that the reporters will go to interview Uma again, waiting for Uma's response, and then a new round of news climax will come again. But what's surprising is that Uma did not respond immediately. I don't know if it was because there was no publicity itinerary in the past two days, or because there was no information received for the time being, but this did not hinder the paparazzi. Enthusiastic, countless paparazzi are closely watching Uma's next move, just waiting for her to respond to Hugo's answer.
"****! She just wants to wait until next week to respond. This week's hype has already attracted enough attention. Next week, it will be another round of hype. She is amazing! Really amazing!" Joseph said He was very calm when he said this, and his emotions were not too excited, but everyone could hear the hidden anger and disdain in his words.
Hype has a skill, it is obvious, too dense and too eager, will make the focus too dense, but will lose its effect; too slow and too slow, it will make the news out of focus and the popularity will drop. This is obviously a "knowledge", but in the 1990s, the main channels of news transmission were TV, radio and newspapers, and the gossip channel was mostly newspapers, which made the dissemination of news take some time to brew. After the award, the big-name suspicions took nearly half a month, so the hype skills were not too advanced, and the rhythm was relatively slow.
Hugo watched Joseph feel injustice for himself, but instead laughed, "When did she respond? Isn't it the same for us? I won't respond to her remarks any more."
"That being said, no one wants to see a mad dog barking at them in the newspaper, right?" Joseph was halfway through when he heard a knock on the door, stood up and opened the door, "Those bad News always affects the mood of the day."
Hugo must admit that, although he has relaxed his mind towards the reporter's comments now, he will inevitably feel uneasy every time he sees it. It seems that learning to deal with the media cannot be accomplished overnight.
The door opened, and Neil stood at the door with a guitar on his back. When he saw Joseph who opened the door, he stood at the door and said politely, "Is Hugo at home?"
"Of course, you're Neil, right? I'm Joseph." Joseph quickly stepped aside and welcomed Neil in.
Neil just raised his head slightly and saw Hugo standing behind him. He first held Joseph's hand and said hello before walking in, "Has Pepe come over yet?"
"The bathroom." Hugo pointed to the direction of the corridor, "Come and sit down, my roommates all went out to work today, so I asked you to come here." Then he shouted to the bathroom, "Pepe, Neil is here. "
Alex and Charlize both went out today. Alex went to film the pilot episode of "Happy Family". He successfully got one of the roles, but whether it can be determined depends on the effect after the pilot episode. . After the pilot, the TV station will first decide whether to shoot, and secondly, it will decide whether to activate this set of actors, so everything is still uncertain. On the other hand, Charlize went to the acting school. In the days when she was not working, she continued to study the basics of acting. After she came back, she would practice communication with Hugo and Alex.
Hugo had planned to go to Al's Bar, but considering that the reporter had been wandering outside, trying to block Hugo - to see if he would meet Uma, so he simply called Neil and Pedro home , just as they have never been here before.
Joseph stood at the door and didn't come over, but motioned to Hugo to go back upstairs. Hugo saw it out of the corner of his eyes, so he raised his chin in response, and then Joseph left and took the door with him.
Neil heard the door closing and looked back, "Where's him?"
"He doesn't know much about music, so he won't be able to stay, so he will go back upstairs." Hugo said casually, "By the way, you know, Fu Jin also lives upstairs and is roommate with Joseph."
Neil raised his eyebrows and expressed his surprise, "I saw the bad news recently, are you all right?" Neil put the guitar on the sofa and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. After experiencing the previous bumps, I always have to learn something." Hugo said with a smile. Although he didn't go to the Al Bar, he could imagine that Green Hill must be drinking again. The latest news is pinned to the cabinet for entertainment.
Neil smiled, "I knew it, Green said in the bar that he was going to introduce you to a new woman." It was indeed Green's style, which made Hugo laugh.
"Hey, Neil! You're late!" Pedro opened the bathroom door and came out with a relaxed face.
Neil clicked his watch. "I'm never late." There were still five minutes to three o'clock and he was always on time. "I remember you said that there is a grumpy old man living downstairs. It doesn't matter if we are here today?" Neil's memory has always been very good, and he can remember many details.
Hugo couldn't help but smile, "I went down and knocked on his door, and he went out today." Ernst also knew that staying at home for a long time was not good for his health, so he would go out for a walk every few days and usually leave It was an afternoon, so it didn't matter.
"Hugo, hurry up and tell us about the keyboard player you found. Is he really good? He must be very good if he can get your recommendation!" Pedro jumped on the sofa, as if Relax as in your own home.
"No, I haven't heard him play either." Hugo shook his head, "He is a good friend of my agent, his name is Alfonso Lopez, I only know that he can play both the guitar and the keyboard. I don't know anything. Besides, he has a permanent job now, and he is not necessarily willing to join us."
"Then what is the audition for today?" Pedro asked with wide eyes without thinking.
Sitting next to him, Neil couldn't help laughing, "You always have to give each other a chance, and give us a chance, don't you? We are a band that hasn't achieved anything yet, and we have to convince others to give up our current life, but It's not that easy."
Pedro waved his hand indifferently, "We have Hugo! And you and me! Most importantly, we have Hugo! This is the guarantee of the band!" There is an absolute admiration, especially after the three of them formed half a band to perform on the street for half a month, Pedro admired Hugo even more, obviously full of confidence.
After Joseph mentioned Alfonso's keyboards last time, Hugo contacted Alfonso once through Joseph, mentioned their band formation, and sincerely asked Alfonso to audition. Of course, Hugo also explained the nature of the band, especially the new attempts by the three of them, so that Alfonso has a comprehensive understanding.
For Alfonso, this was a crossroads in his life. This is very similar to the experience of Alex, who also gave up his bank job to pursue his dream of being an actor in Hollywood, and Alfonso is now also giving up his relatively stable and thriving job as a car broker to choose a Not knowing the future band at all, it can even be said that it is a decision that decides his life in the next five or ten years, and it is not so easy.
After much deliberation, Alfonso decided before "Schindler's List" was completed that he was willing to give himself a chance and Hugo and the others a chance, he would come to the audition, and then do it according to the results after the audition Decide. After all, he didn't prove his strength, and Hugo and the others didn't show their abilities. It was too hasty to make a decision before that.
So there is today's audition.
"We have Hugos, but we don't have drummers, so we're still not a band." Neil looked at Pedro and twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly. Neil naturally admires Hugo. It has been like this since the first meeting. Maybe he will not admire Hugo like Pedro, but he does have a feeling of sympathy with Hugo. have enough confidence. But the truth is, a band without a drummer can't be called a band.
Pedro was hit by Neil's blow and immediately slumped his shoulders, "How easy is it to find a good drummer!" The most important thing is that their band has not had any achievements to attract good drummers to join.
Hugo is quite open. He is passionate about the band, and the main thing he likes is the happiness of making music together with a group of partners who like music, but if the band becomes a vanity fair for quarrels, it will be a small Hollywood, it is better not to form For example, on a new day when they fought on the streets of New York before, they were not just as simple as discordant personality, they were more quarreling for popularity and attention, which had nothing to do with music or dreams, which was really frustrating.
So, Hugo said, "Don't worry, we will find our own pace for our band, and everything will be fine."
At this moment, there was another knock at the door. Hugo opened the door with brisk steps. Sure enough, he saw Alfonso standing at the door with a huge keyboard on his back. When he saw Hugo, he showed an enthusiastic expression. Smile, "I've taken the first step, are you ready for it?"
