Chapter 376 376

There was no audience around, Hugo thought about it, stopped Fu Jin, who was about to continue to beat the drums, turned around and looked at Pedro, who was depressed. Hugo originally wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he But they noticed that the expressions on Neil and Alfonso's faces were obviously not very interesting.

Hugo's eyes met Fu Jin. Fu Jin was not a person who was used to venting his emotions, but it could be seen that he was not satisfied with the situation just now.

Standing in place, Hugo couldn't help but think about it. In fact, no one was satisfied with the situation just now, including himself. After all, any performance can only be established with the participation and interaction of the audience. What's the difference between your own bathroom performance?

This is especially true for rock bands, where the audience's response is the nutrient for the band's growth and the catalyst for the band's performance. There were only three spectators at the scene just now, which is indeed a very frustrating situation, and it also makes people unable to devote themselves to the performance.

Pedro has a very outgoing personality and is easily influenced by the outside world. This is the case in Los Angeles. If there is a large audience cheering and shouting, then Pedro's performance will be crazy and show a super high level, and vice versa. Even Fokin has such sentiments, let alone Pedro.

Fu Jin went through the whole process of climbing from an unknown name to a little famous in the circle on a new day. According to common sense, Fu Jin should have enough ability to accept the situation today, but Fu Jin forgot. This is San Francisco, not Los Angeles. Although San Francisco is also a city with very prosperous street performances, the street performances here are richer and more diverse. Music has never been the only bright spot on the streets, so even Fujin has never experienced such a situation. .

Another point is that Glory to Death has practiced and performed during this period of time, and his hard work and hard work always hope to be recognized by the audience. They have already obtained initial recognition in Los Angeles, but after arriving in San Francisco, it was a sudden change. Going back to the pre-liberation period, it was really frustrating.

In fact, Hugo also sighed when he saw that there were only three spectators at the scene. It was even more regrettable that the number three was the data that had the largest number of spectators before Glory to Death in the past half hour.

However, for Hugo, after the Golden Globe Awards incident, his mentality has undergone a huge change, especially the exchange with Katharine Hepburn, the will to "will continue to perform as long as there is an audience" gives Hugo brought a strong shock, which made Hugo recall the career of rolling and struggling in underground rock before crossing.

In the previous ten years, Hugo had experienced various performance occasions. The performance of three audience members was not a blow at all. The most terrifying scene was that a large group of audience members were clearly sitting under the stage, but everyone was in their own way. Talking to yourself, doing your own thing, and not enjoying the band at all, is what makes it frustrating.

Therefore, when he saw that there were only three audience members at the scene, Hugo still controlled his emotions well and did not affect the performance. Among the other members of the band, Pedro was the first to be affected. In the final stage of the performance, Neil and Alfonso's performances were more or less problematic. This is only when the overall momentum was hit. Happening.

Thinking of this, Hugo pondered for a while and then said, "Although there were not many audiences just now, there was no problem with our performance, except for the last song 'Nothing'." Hugo's joke It made Pedro the first to laugh embarrassedly, "I think, I think we will still encounter a lot of such situations in the future, after all, similar situations are not uncommon in the entire underground rock circle, right? ?"

Everyone in this circle knows that for a rock band to succeed, strength is only one of the elements. Luck and opportunity are essential. Many powerful bands are forever buried in the so-called trend. The number of bands on the stage can only stand in front of an audience of less than 30 and sway their sweat recklessly. So, as Hugo said, it's definitely not uncommon to see a sparse audience, and a single-digit audience is possible, if not three.

"So, we must recognize this fact. Even if such a situation occurs, we must not be discouraged. We must be ourselves in order to win the audience; if, like Pedro just now, there are fluctuations because the audience is too small, then only Some of the three audience members have to turn around and leave." Hugo's words made everyone chuckle again, and Pedro scratched his head embarrassedly. blushing.

"I heard a great actor tell me before that even if there is only one audience, she will continue to perform until the end." Hugo said this sentence, not only to inspire himself, but also to inspire his partners , Sure enough, hearing this sentence, Pedro's emotions were immediately lit up, and the whole person looked at Hugo with anticipation.

"This sentence has different meanings for everyone, but for me, I think that as long as there is an audience present, it means that he likes your performance, then you have to be responsible to the audience, you You can't ignore him because there is only one audience, otherwise the audience will also leave. What is the difference between one audience and 10,000 audience? The size of the voice or the size of the stage, I think the difference should lie in yourself Inner attitude. You see 10,000 audience as 10,000 'one audience', then there is no difference because you are responsible for each audience; but if you quantify the number of audience, it leads to your own performance If there is a difference in attitude, then whether it is 10,000 viewers or one viewer, they will turn around and leave.”

Hugo was standing on the street where people came and went. At this time, there was still no one who stopped his footsteps for glory. The indifference of the street today made the band feel the reality. Without the enthusiasm of the audience and the huge popularity of Hugo, Glory to Death is just a nobody for more people. No one knows this band, and no one wants to appreciate this band.

"As long as there is one audience left, it means that at least one audience is there for us to perform, then we should also let this audience cheer for us. So, I will continue to perform until the end. When all the audience members turn around and leave, I will say goodbye to the stage, go home, and stand in the bathroom to entertain myself." Hugo let out a sigh of relief and expressed all his thoughts.

Standing on the streets of San Francisco, looking at different teammates, he suddenly reminded Hugo of his excitement when he stepped on the stage for the first time in his life. Hugo really wanted to be such a performer, and spent his whole life. Shining brightly because of the stage is not for the sublime art, but just to show off one's talents to the fullest, even if there is only one audience.

Hugo's words silenced the four teammates who died of Glory, and everyone was shaken violently, because just now they were more or less slack because they were disappointed with only three spectators.

Fukugin is undoubtedly the most violent among them. Although he did not make mistakes like Pedro, nor did he relax in the final moments like Neil and Alfonso, he knew the emotions in Fouquin best, which reminded him. The most important thing is, "Do you remember why our band chose this road tour?"

Fukukin remembered the situation when he was about to start a road tour on a new day, and also thought of the situation when he and Hugo hit it off and decided to let Glory to the death embark on the road tour. For this reason, Hugo even put the rising actor. Work was put on hold for a while, and they were discouraged just in the first city.

"Don't we just plan to experience various stages, accumulate more experience, and then deal with any situation that may arise in the future to increase our strength?" Fu Jin is not a talkative person, so at this time It is also more shocking to let him express his inner thoughts, "Why do we know that the band will be successful in the future? Why do we know that the performance of the band in the future will definitely be crowded? Of course not, so in a situation like today, the future will definitely be So what should we do then?"

Fu Jin did not answer, but fell silent. The others were also silent.

Neil let out a long breath, and he showed a shallow smile, "Don't forget how the five members of our band came together and why the band was formed."

music. That's the only reason why Glory to the Dead came together, as Hugo said, as long as there is one audience member who is willing to enjoy their music, they should do their best to perform, to thank this well-known person for their support of their music, this This is the essence of performance, and it should also be the core idea of ​​Glory to Death.

Glory to death (Death. Or. Glory), the name of their band contains this meaning, but today, in front of three audiences, they did not achieve "Glory", but chose "Death", lifeless Bad performances simply smash the band's brand.

Although Neil only said one sentence, everyone was awakened. Did the little achievements in the performance during Los Angeles make the band lose its direction?

Pedro was very guilty, and he was the first to say, "Sorry, it's all my fault, I'm really sorry." Pedro didn't explain, he knew the importance of being a bass player in the band, And he was the first to drop the chain, which was a devastating blow to the band. At this moment, he no longer had the intention of joking, but was just reflecting on his inner impetuosity.

"I'm sorry, I made a chord error several times just now." Alfonso also put away his smile and officially apologized.

"And me." Neil also took the initiative to apologize, "I'm sorry, I dragged everyone down just now."

Seeing that everyone was silent, the morale of the band was very low, Hugo couldn't help showing a smile, "Don't be so disappointed, there were at least three audience members just now, not one, this is our success, isn't it?"

"Three..." Neil repeated silently, but he felt more and more joyful. He burst out laughing, then Alfonso, then Fujin, and finally Pedro looked at everyone with a smile The corners of his mouth also rose.
