Chapter 347: 347
Alfonso saw the expressions on the faces of the three people in front of him, and realized that he was a little too excited. Alfonso couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but not because he was too excited, but because he was too eager for this opportunity and became nervous. Nervousness, this emotion has really been gone for a long time, and the thirst for an opportunity, this feeling has not been running in my blood for a long time.
Thinking of this, Alfonso did not continue to hide his thoughts, but took a deep breath and asked, "Hugo, I want to be a member of this band, I wonder what your decision is?"
Hugo originally thought that Alfonso needed to go back and struggle for a while. After all, this was not a simple decision, it was an earth-shaking change in life. But unexpectedly, Alfonso made a decision so quickly, Hugo couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"
Neil also knew what Hugo was saying, so he added, "You know, everything is uncertain for our band right now, maybe one day Hugo needs to leave the band because of work on a certain movie, so our practice and future jobs are uncertain."
"Hey, Neil!" Hugo stood beside him and laughed helplessly.
Neil ignored it at all, but Pedro giggled. The "Schindler's List" that had just finished filming was the hard evidence, so Yuguo had no way to refute it, but just stood there obediently. Neil continued to say that he was not affected by Hugo, "Me and Pepe have no worries about life for the time being. We rely on street performances to make a living. This situation is very bad. I think you should have a problem with this. understood."
But Alfonso didn't rush to show his firm determination, but instead asked, "I only have one question." The three Hugo quieted down and looked over, "Do you really need a keyboard player? You know, while I don't mind being a melody guitar player, I still want to be a keyboard player."
Neil turned his head to look at Hugo, Hugo smiled and said, "I can go back to your previous question, I was going to use the keyboard for the prelude."
Alfonso was stunned for a while, and then a smile was drawn from his mouth, "Then I have no problem, I just want to know, what is your decision, and whether there is a place for me in this band." Make a decision After that, Alfonso didn't hesitate at all, his heart was open, and the boiling excitement returned to his body after a long time, and he even started to tremble slightly because of this opportunity at his fingertips.
Hugo did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Neil and Pedro. Pedro blinked at Hugo, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was the best answer; Neil did it with Hugo. With an eye contact, Hugo could feel Neil's concerns. Alfonso has potential, but he is still flawed after three years of blankness. Next, he needs to keep up with the pace of the band, which is not easy. matter.
Hugo also thought of Neil's concerns, but Hugo believed Joseph's judgment. Joseph said that Alfonso was a music fanatic, and he even worked all night to study technology, although with age. Growth, Alfonso also chose to give up, but Hugo recalled the light in Alfonso's eyes when he mentioned the music when they first met. So, Hugo is willing to trust Alfonso.
So, Hugo gave Neil an affirmative answer. Neil lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and finally raised his head, showing a positive smile. Hugo motioned for Neil to tell Alfonso the good news, and Neil didn't push me to stop him, so he turned to look at Alfonso, "Then, welcome to our band, I hope our band can With your help, get on the right track!"
Alfonso didn't speak, he just stood there, and his smile bloomed like this, like a sunflower blooming in the wind in spring and March, expressing the joy deep in his heart in the simplest way.
"Oh yeah! Finally found the keyboard player, now only the drummer is left, our band is about to be formed." Pedro jumped excitedly, jumping and jumping around the room.
Alfonso looked at the childish Pedro, then turned to look at Neil, "Didn't your band prepare for a long time? Why can't you even find a drummer?" It's not easy to be a good keyboard player, but it's actually not that hard to find a drummer.
After confirming the keyboard player, Neil obviously relaxed and said with a smile, "Our band was able to form, but we just wanted to make music that we liked, and a few friends who love music gathered together and enjoyed the music. So it's not that hard to find a keyboard player or a drummer, but it's not that easy to find a friend who fits in with us."
Alfonso suddenly realized and nodded, "Hugo mentioned this to me before, and that's why I'm willing to seize this opportunity." Thinking of this, Neil and Pedro had no idea about Hugo's departure for two months to make a movie. Don't mind at all, that's why, they don't play bands for the sake of fame. This is also very important to Alfonso. Although only fame can bring income, only true love can make really good music.
"Do you know any good drummers? Of course, it must be in line with the preferences of our freaks." Hugo said with a smile, pointing to them, which made Alfonso laugh.
"No, I don't know any good drummers." Alfonso shook his head, "I'm very behind in the news now, you should be more familiar than me. By the way, didn't it say that a new day is going to be disbanded recently? Fokin is a very good drummer, haven't you tried to get in touch with him?" New Day's disbandment has been quite the sensational news in the rock circle recently, although Alfonso has also heard of it.
Neil turned his head to look at Hugo, Hugo curled his lips helplessly, "I sent an invitation to Fu Jin before, but he refused." Although he said that he admired Fu Jin's loyalty, but standing in his In terms of position, it is inevitable to be embarrassed.
"Hey guys, now that our band has a prototype, shouldn't we have an official name? Or, start preparing for some names?" After Pedro was excited, he asked the most important question.
The name of a rock band is very important, almost equal to half of the success of the band. A good name can even reflect the strong personal style of the band, which is the first impression for the audience. Of course, it's a bit too serious to say this. Many band names may just be acquired by chance, and have no specific meaning at all. It's just that after success in the future, meaningless names will be given meaning. But it is undeniable that, in fact, the band name represents the style of the band to some extent.
"This is a big project, haven't you done some filings before?" Although Alfonso has only just met these partners today, he is always familiar with him due to his previous work. Pedro has a lively and rainy personality. Guo had already met Alfonso before, so the atmosphere quickly warmed up.
Neil glanced at Hugo, "Someone disappeared for more than two months. Pepe and I are not sure."
Sitting next to him, Hugo immediately shouted, "Hey! It's been revealed after you agreed, and you still can't forget it!"
"What do you think of 'Divine. Comedy'?" Pedro, a man of action, sat down cross-legged on the couch with a pen and paper in no time to come up with a plan for the band's name.
"You mean Dante. Alighieri?" Hugo was studying classical literature, and his mind naturally reacted immediately.
"Yeah, why not?" Pedro nodded, "your name is Hugo, the name of a great writer, so poetic, and we are all from different countries, doesn't it look like a poem? ?"
"Uh...no!" Hugo groaned for a while, then gave a negative answer, "It makes me feel like a choir of holy choir." This made everyone chuckle." How about 'Seventeen Heaven (Heaven. 17)'?" Hugo thought for a while and asked, but was greeted with suspicious eyes from three people, Hugo explained, "'A. Clockwork. Orange )' a slang term."
"Stanley. Kubrick!" Alfonso exclaimed in surprise, "A Clockwork Orange," a sinister, weird movie apparently loved by a lot of rock bands, many of which are slang terms for Used by the band as a name. "But isn't this slang term used yet?"
"No, I think a British indie band used it." Neil frowned and said uncertainly, "It's like an electronic rock band, I don't remember exactly, I saw it once at a music festival. "
Hugo suddenly showed a disappointed expression, and Pedro looked regretful next to him, "This is really a good name."
"What about 'Moloko'?" Alfonso thought of another name, the name of a type of milk in "A Clockwork Orange".
Neil frowned, "Is it right for us?"
Looking at the three people who were having a heated discussion in front of him, Hugo's memory went back to the distant ten years ago, when he was still a young junior high school student, sitting with his friends in the empty classroom after school, rubbing and freezing Their hands were excitedly discussing the name of their band, and the frost outside the window couldn't stop their enthusiasm, as if imagining a band's name could describe the band's bright future, with a look of longing on their faces.
At that time, Chen Yuguo said, "Glory to death, what about the name Glory to death?" Then Su Zinan turned his head, stared at himself with wide eyes, and said only one word after a long time, "Cool! "That's how their band got their name.
Hugo's memory overlapped with reality, and he opened his mouth and said, "Hey guys, what do you think about Death. Or. Glory?"
