Chapter 392 Chapter 392
Adam was not the kind of warm-hearted type. Although he talked about the matter with Hugo, Hugo did not have the collapse or rebellion he was worried about. On the contrary, Hugo had grown strong enough to bear the truth. Adam was very pleased; but Adam was still reluctant to sit down with Hugo and enjoy some kind of father-son relationship. On the one hand, he didn't know what to do, and on the other hand, it was too hypocritical, not Adam's style.
So Adam took Hugo to Tyler's house for dinner at noon. Old Jack and his wife Molly warmly welcomed Lancaster and his son. Little Jack and his wife Michelle were even more excited. It is said that Hugo is not only Adam's son, but also a movie star, which makes the family seem very lively.
Most of the time, Hugo and Molly and Michelle were chatting, and Adam and old Jack were just sitting and listening quietly.
When everyone learned that Hugo was currently on a road tour, they couldn't help but marvel. For those of them who lived quietly in small towns, crossing the United States was a big deal, and Hugo also brought a band. It is even more admirable to perform in every city.
Adam looked at his son, whose eyebrows were now clear, and felt very satisfied. Although he had been suffering for the past ten years, now his son has really grown up, with responsibilities and responsibilities, dreams and dreams. Courage, which finally let Adam breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, he has been worried that Hugo's life will be ruined because of himself. He is really not a competent father, but fortunately, what he worried about did not happen.
Hugo was happily chatting with Molly about the interesting things that happened when they sang on the streets of Cheyenne yesterday, but noticed a warm gaze and turned to Adam. Adam immediately turned his eyes away and avoided his own eyes in a panic. Old Jack noticed the embarrassment of his old friend, picked up the cigarette case and handed it to Adam. Adam's outstretched hand stayed in the air, and finally Take it back.
If Adam knew, the son he was thinking about had been poisoned. Pin leaves this world, what a cruel blow to Adam. Hugo thinks so.
Although Adam is only Lancaster's father, now Hugo is Lancaster, he has missed his own family affection, and he will not miss this time again. He will take good care of this hard-won family relationship, and then take a firm step towards the future.
This was the first time Hugo had truly felt that Lancaster was himself, and he was Lancaster. All the confusion and confusion in his heart gradually calmed down. Looking at Adam's stiff face, looking at the enthusiastic faces of the Taylor family, recalling the group of friends Joseph and Carl, and recalling the bandmates of Fokine and Neil, Hugo found unprecedented peace.
The Taylor family sent the Lancasters and their sons to the gas station at the intersection of the town, and then the old Jack and his wife left first, while Little Jack waited at the gate of the Chase's ranch not far away, preparing to send Hugo to Cheyenne. Go to the city. Hugo looked back at his father, who was getting restless after a few hours without a cigarette, and said, "I can stay here tonight."
"I don't have your room at home, and I have to clean it temporarily. It's too troublesome." Adam waved his hand in a loud voice and refused, wishing that Hugo would leave soon.
Hugo laughed dumbly, "Then I'll call you in advance before I come back next time."
"Your band friends are waiting for you, why so much nonsense, let's go quickly." Adam still didn't want to look at Hugo, just put his hands in his pockets, restraining his hands that were shaking because of the cravings, and violently Speaking of.
"Little Jack said, you've been coughing, remember to go to the hospital, and don't smoke." Hugo was halfway through, when Adam gave him a vicious stare, as if to say: "If you talk more, I'll kill you." Losing his temper, Hugo could only shake his head, "Then I'm leaving."
Hugo didn't say anything more, and walked towards Little Jack's car, but suddenly came Adam's hesitant voice behind him, "Are you short of money?"
Hugo stopped, turned around and smiled at his father, "You should check the box office of my recent movie." Adam's stunned expression made Hugo chuckle, "I don't lack it. Money, your son has earned the first ten million in his life, if you are short of money, you can tell me."
Looking at Hugo's smug expression, Adam turned his face down and said impatiently, "It's up to you to splurge, and you will come to me to borrow money in despair soon. Let's go, little Jack will pay back this afternoon. You have to go to work, when are you procrastinating?"
Hugo didn't say anything more, waved at Adam, then turned around and got into Little Jack's car. Little Jack started the car, Hugo saw in the rearview mirror that Adam was standing there, motionless, until Adam disappeared from sight, and he did not move, he just stood there quietly, watching. Leave on your own. At this moment, a smile formed on the corner of Hugo's mouth. He finally had a home. In the United States in the early 1990s, he also found a place that he could call "home".
Back in Cheyenne, Hugo said goodbye to little Jack at the door of the motel, and then saw the bandmates chatting in the parking lot. They were all around the car, giggling and laughing. Seeing Hugo coming back, Pei Dro was the first to wave his hands excitedly.
After Hugo walked in, Neil asked, "What about lunch, is it resolved?"
"Of course, it's almost two o'clock." Hugo shrugged, "How about you guys, how's the rodeo?"
"Che, there is no game in the morning, and it will not start until the afternoon, which is really disappointing." Pedro was the first to shout, but the others ignored his complaints, and Fu Jin said directly, "Then get in the car. Well, get ready to go. It's over a hundred miles from here to Denver."
No one went to ask how Hugo went home, but Hugo could feel the kindness and friendliness from his teammates. They were still worried about themselves, but they did not ask because of respect for privacy. Hugo smiled and took the initiative to say, "I had lunch with my father at noon. It was very pleasant. Maybe there will be a surprise in the performance this afternoon."
Seeing Hugo's heartfelt ease, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this trip home was worth it, and Pedro jumped excitedly, "Let's go, let's go! Let's go to the Queen City on the grassland!" This excited voice was obviously more relaxed than before.
It's only two o'clock now. If everything goes smoothly, they can arrive in Denver before four o'clock. They can immediately find a venue and start the performance. Therefore, the whole band's mood has risen again.
After the big stone that had been in my heart for more than a year was put down, my whole person relaxed. The splendid melody in my mind bloomed proudly between the high sea and wide mountains and forests in Wyoming that day. The surging emotions were quietly mixed into the wonderful melody, and then turned into a song.
"Look at the colorful world, see the mysterious East unfolding in the field of vision, see the canyons destroyed by the dark clouds, see the shoals of tuna hollowing out the sea, see the nomadic Arabs lighting bonfires, see the oil fields burn, see the olive branches Birds soar. After the disaster is a chaotic splendor..."
This is not just a little bit of understanding today, but also a condensed scene in my mind along the way. I sketched a magnificent scene in my mind. The desert outside Las Vegas is filled with yellow sand; Cheyenne enters the city. The mountains are lined with green trees; the culture in San Francisco is colorful... The magic of nature and the greatness of human beings change into thousands of scenes in an instant, returning in a hurry in my mind, and finally turning into that The pale and powerless vocabulary, I hope it can be combined in the melody to burst out a more perfect effect.
Hugo couldn't help but combine this short lyric with the original song "Beautiful. Day". The song "A Beautiful Day" has been written by Hugo for a long time. At present, the melody has been basically written, but the lyrics have never been able to match. Today's lyrics and the melody have an indescribable resonance. Hugo Tried to fit together, and... it worked!
"It was a good day, don't miss it, a good day, touch me, take me to that place, grab me, I know there is still hope for me. What you don't have, you don't need now, what you don't understand, you will end up You will feel that what you don't have, you don't need it now, you don't need it now, what a beautiful day!"
The melody and lyrics that gradually spread in the wind, sunshine, mountains, and running water are perfectly combined, and the turbulent emotions in the heart have evolved into music. But Hugo realized that this song is not just a description of a "good day", maybe the starting point is just to tell a good day, but the lyrics he wrote just now made the whole song more than one level. It also takes the meaning of this song to a whole new level.
Hugo found that he seemed to have made another breakthrough in music creation unknowingly, but this was still a bit vague, because the artistic conception of the song "A Beautiful Day" was too grand and profound. At present, he has completed the creation of the chorus part. But there is still not enough thought in the lyrics of the main song.
Music creation is really a very magical thing. He is not only a reflection of his mood, but also a carrier of the creator's understanding of life, outlook on life, and values of the world. This is similar to the idea of a rock band. Rock bands often have a soul, anti-war, catharsis, rebellion, anarchy, etc., and music is the same, only music with a real soul can be called art, otherwise it can only be entertainment.
Hugo seemed to have opened a whole new door and caught a glimpse of a ray of light from another world, but it was enough to make him stunned. Maybe now he has no way to enter this world, but who can say for the future? ? It's been a really nice day.
