Chapter 414 414 The Price of Dreams

Chasing dreams is very tragic, beautiful, and heroic, but dreams that are above life are just castles in the air. Only by living down-to-earth can you be qualified to pursue your dreams. So what is life? It can be said poetically, a glass of milk, a piece of bread, a hut and a person in love; it can also be said vulgarly, tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea; it can also be said philosophically, money, power, and reputation.

Before crossing, Hugo's life was actually very simple, struggling on the line of life, the band did not have any lofty ideals, just wanted more people to hear and appreciate their music, that's all; After crossing the road, Hugo also came here for more than a year. He played every role down-to-earth, worked hard to become an excellent actor, and diligently devoted himself to the rehearsal of the band, hoping to realize the dream of music. continue.

In this process, there were difficulties and twists and turns. After "The Great Wind in the Sea of ​​Righteousness", Hugo also lost himself for a time. After a brief downturn after the Golden Globes incident, Hugo was back on track. However, the huge success of "Sleepless in Seattle" far beyond expectations has brought Hollywood fans to the front, and they have to reject this temptation. Confusion has never been easy.

Then, sooner or later, will there be a greater temptation in the future? Confusion appeared, not just Ron Meyer, not even the acre of land of the International Innovation Management Company; not just Nicolas Cage, not even just one or two top stars... Then at that time they Can you still remember your dreams? What's more, Joseph is a broker, and it is his job for businessmen to pursue profits.

Only at this moment did Hugo realize what a terrible lure Hollywood is for ordinary people. Confused, even if there are countless news that the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, even if there are countless facts that prove how terrifying the attention under the spotlight is, even if Hugo himself has experienced a great deal in the past year or so. There are many things, big or small, but it was not until he hung up the phone call that Hugo knew how difficult it was to keep a clear head and not lose himself in the whole circle of feasting and feasting.

Hugo has experienced a period of silence for ten years, and he has also experienced incredible things like crossing. He also experienced the ups and downs of Lancaster from the low to the high. After that time, Hugo still lost himself. This time, Hugo stayed awake, as he and his teammates of Glory to the Dead had been on a road-jumping journey, but Joseph was eroded.

It's a scary circle.

What is the price of dreams? The current glory to death can unite and move towards a goal together, but will he and his teammates face the current situation one day in the future? There were conflicts in the band, for example, Pedro's teenage heart couldn't stay any longer... Or the simplest thing, money, honor, and power mixed in the flashing lights made people lose their way.

Suddenly Hugo is a little confused. He can still maintain a sincere heart, and simply love music and performances, but how long can this emotion last? Is it possible that one day in the future he will also take movies for the sake of pay? , although he has advanced memory, it is difficult for him to pick the wrong work, but the heart of the dream starting point no longer exists; is it possible that one day in the future he will also change his insistence on music because of the sales of albums and the trend of popularity , to make some music that deliberately caters to the public, although Hugo never denied that it is not wise to be high and widow, because the music comes from the masses, it still must be recognized, but because of deliberately catering to lose himself, is it correct...

"Hugo, are you okay?" Neil's voice came from behind, interrupting Hugo's thoughts. Only then did he realize that the figures of his teammates in the night outside the window had disappeared. Looking back, everyone All appeared behind him.

"There was a little dispute with the manager because of work." After Hugo finished speaking, he glanced at Alfonso without disguise, but saw Alfonso frown worriedly. Obviously, he didn't expect it either. There will be a dispute with Joseph.

Hugo's personality is not that kind of sharp-edged and aggressive type. More often, his gentle and gentleman's personality makes people feel warm. It has been a few months since the band was formed. Even if everyone is noisy, there is no rain. Guo blushed, so she had to argue with Hugo, which also showed the seriousness of the matter.

Hugo shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off all the bad emotions in his head, then stood up and stretched, "Let's go, let's go back to the hotel, don't you mean you have to practice at night, this afternoon my performance If there is a problem, if you don’t practice at night, it will be bad tomorrow.”

Neil hesitated. He wanted to comfort Hugo, but he didn't know the situation, so he could only look at Fujin. The band members all know that Alfonso and Joseph are friends, and Fokin and Joseph are currently roommates, so Neil looked at Fokin and hoped that Fokkin could say something, but Fokkin didn't seem to care at all. .

Neil immediately understood. In Fu Jin's opinion, it's good to explain the misunderstanding between friends. If you can continue to be friends after that, then abandon your prejudice; if not, just cut off the relationship neatly. . Just like a brand new day before, although Fu Jin struggled for a long time, it was all due to loyalty, but when he realized that there was no room for recovery, he quickly ended everything in a mess.

But Hugo is not Fujin. Hugo has a delicate personality. Otherwise, he would not be able to write songs with such turbulent emotions, or he would not be able to present such delicate and mature performances on the big screen.

Pedro saw that everyone was a little heavy, and even Alfonso was speechless. He could only raise his voice and try to liven up the atmosphere, "Then go back quickly, today's practice task is not small!"

Hugo was the first to respond, as if he had temporarily suppressed all his thoughts, "Let's go, let's go!" Then he and Pedro walked outside with their shoulders on their shoulders. After taking two steps and finding that the other three were still behind, Hugo turned back and said, "What are you doing? I don't know the way, and if Pei Pai leads the way, I don't know where I'll go."

"Hey!" Pedro immediately protested, and Hugo obviously didn't believe him. But Fujin laughed, and Neil also remembered Hugo's idiotic attributes, and hurriedly walked up, while Alfonso also walked forward with slightly heavy steps.

The night was thick, and the cool wind really made Hugo feel lighter. Although the restaurant was not far from the motel, it was only an intersection away, but Hugo's poor sense of direction still made him go in the wrong direction, causing a lot of trouble. Er was helpless at the back, "Hugo, are you serious? Just one left and one right, you will go wrong?"

"Can't blame me, this street looks exactly the same! Didn't you find it?" Hugo repented gloomily, but unfortunately no one responded to his complaint, which made Hugo very sad.

After returning to the hotel, the band did not go back to the room, but went directly to the back of the truck, turned on the lights hanging on the passenger seat, and was ready to start practicing. This kind of practice is really familiar to the band. It has been the case along the way. The speed of the band's strength has far exceeded expectations. Sure enough, for the band, live performance is the best way to run in strength.

"Where's Alfonso? Wasn't he still behind just now?" Pedro noticed Alfonso's straggling.

"He said go back to the room to get something." Fujin suddenly said a word, but everyone could guess that Alfonso should have gone to call Joseph. As a member of the band, Alfonso has traveled all the way, and he naturally knows nothing about Hugo's situation, so he feels that he should communicate with Joseph to see what went wrong.

Hugo knew, however, that Alfonso should have a hard time communicating with Joseph in his current state. Joseph had to figure this out by himself, and he could only understand this situation if he had experienced it, but Alfonso had never experienced Hollywood's lavishness.

"I'll help him organize the keyboard." Hugo had no preparations, so he found Alfonso's keyboard and put it on a shelf. Neil's voice came from outside the car, "Try to see if there is electricity?" Neil took the super row and went to the hotel to find an outlet.

Hugo pressed the keyboard in his hand, and the pleasant keyboard sound immediately rang. He raised his head and glanced at Pedro. Pedro stuck his head out of the car and replied, "No problem!"

Since neither Neil nor Alfonso is here yet, and Pedro is tuning, the practice won't begin for the time being. Hugo looked down at the black and white keys under his hand, and couldn't help letting out a long sigh of relief. He was still too busy today. If he couldn't concentrate, the practice for a while would only drag down the band.

But what happened recently made it easy for Hugo to think about the previous Uma incident and the Golden Globes incident, but Hugo's mood was not so easy to calm down. How many hidden dangers are hidden in this colorful dye vat in Hollywood. Everyone only sees the bright life under the spotlight and envy them, but they don't know the filth hidden under this bright skin. and hardships.

Hollywood is a dream, but it is not just a dream, nor should it be just a dream. This feeling is so complicated that it makes Hugo doubt his dream. Did he run away from home for music at first? Was it really just for music? Instead of making a name for yourself? If so, is his dream also going to spoil one day, eroded by money, honor and power?

Thinking of this, Hugo pressed his fingers on the black and white keys involuntarily, showing a slightly jerky fingering, but the melody flowed out of his mind without any hindrance. The incandescent lamp hummed softly in the heart of the melody.
