Superstar

Chapter 25: Chasing the dream

  On the way back from Universal Studios, there was silence all the way again. Neither of them spoke. Joseph drove intently, while Hugo leaned on the side of the car window, quietly looking at the scenery outside.

Palm trees, billboards, and bushes cast reflections in the eyes, and the sunlight above the head penetrates the cloudless blue sky and spills the entire city of angels, covering every object in sight with a layer of gold. The tulle, the dazzling color made the vision blurry, but Hugo was reluctant to close his eyes. He greedily looked at the scenery in front of him, trying to find a trace of the city shadow in memory from this strange world, in a trance. , He did have such an illusion that he thought he was still three. Galloping along Palm Avenue in Asia, the band leader was driving. They were on their way to a small performance, and in the back seat someone could even hear someone's terrible grunt going back and forth amidst the roar of the engine.

When he was fourteen years old, Hugo watched a movie called "Nuovo. Cinema. Paradiso". He was moved by the phrase "If you don't go out for a walk, you will think this is the world." , He realized that chasing his dream is the most important thing.

So Hugo put into practice the musical dreams of listening to the Beatles and Oasis since he was ten years old. He and a group of like-minded partners formed a band. The band even started There is no suitable name, but this did not affect their love of music. I thought that it was just a whim of the children, but unexpectedly, they were self-taught, and they even tinkered with some famous people, and even started to learn to create by themselves while they were ignorant. Although the initial works were really horrible, but this way But their life is the happiest time for them.

On the first anniversary of the formation of the band, Hugo gave the band a name called Death. Or. Glory. The source of this name is actually Japanese manga, which embodies the dreams and desires they had when they were young and frivolous. in. After having a name, the band is not only satisfied with self-entertainment, they hope to go out and perform, hoping to make the band stand on the real stage.

   In fact, they also succeeded, winning a full house at the school's New Year's Day party—although they were not performing songs that they composed themselves, this sense of accomplishment was still unforgettable for the five members of the band. So a stronger desire was born: they want to go out, participate in various performances, and become a real band. Such a desire is so powerful that it even makes them fight against their families.

   Hugo’s personality is not public or rebellious. Before he founded the band, he was a typical student representative with good academic performance, which made his parents unable to understand his dedication to the band even more. Forming a band is incredible enough, but at the age of fifteen, how could parents agree to abandon their studies and tinker with the band? This is naturally impossible.

  The result of the story is very clear. The five band members who were so glorious to death have all left home—including the well-behaved Hugo, who became a member of the huge underground rock music in China. This time, they left for ten years. The passage of time seems to be only a brief moment. Later, Hugo came here.

   If someone asks Hugo, do you regret it? Hugo may answer "no", but he can't hide the bitterness in his smile.

Although the process of pursuing music dreams is hard, it is all worth it. Even ten years of hard work are worth it. When others are studying on campus, he has already found his goal and started to work for his life goal. Struggle, this kind of life is so wonderful, so beautiful and so forgettable. Therefore, Hugo does not regret it.

   is just like what is said in "How steel is made": People, the most precious thing is life: it is given to us only once. A person’s life should be spent like this: When he looks back on the past, he shall not regret for wasting his years, nor shall he be ashamed of his inaction; in this way, when he is dying, he can say: I have taken my entire life And all my energy is dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind.

   Of course, Hugo is not that great. He is fighting for all mankind. He just dedicated his entire life and all energy to his dreams.

   It’s just that the price of chasing dreams is too great. It’s not that life is hard or the future is long, but that he has let down his parents’ hopes. Hugo went against the ardent hopes of his parents and embarked on the road of music. Although he has been working hard to repair the relationship with his parents for ten years, it has achieved little success, especially his father. He has never understood, let alone accepted. , This also makes Hugo wander away all year round. This bitterness can only be savored by himself in the dead of night.

Close your eyes, and you can still see the grand scene of the Midi Rock Festival in your mind. Hugo couldn't help wondering what it would be like to stand on the stage to the death of glory, and whether they would get closer to their dreams. One point; after he crossed, what happened to his bandmates and what was the situation of his parents...

   Hugo took a deep breath, trying to get out of this lost emotion. He has come to 1992 and can't go back. Focusing on the present is the most important thing.

The audition of "Scent of a Woman" gave Hugo a lot of confidence. Although this is not a breakthrough in music, it has always been Hugo's dream to become an actor. The actor is acting on the big screen. Life brings joy, sorrow, nostalgia, pain and happiness to people. The charm of the movie is so beautiful and timeless that it is easy to indulge in it.

Before crossing, Hugo has made some progress in music. It is a huge opportunity to receive the invitation of the Midi Rock Festival, but in terms of movies, Hugo has not many opportunities. He can only through the film. Come to learn acting skills, observe the shooting situation on the spot and imagine how you would perform in the position of the protagonist.

But now, Hugo has participated in the audition for two movies. Although "Dahe Love" ended in failure, the progress of "Scent of a Woman" is very gratifying. Even if Hugo has not yet got the role of Charlie, it is still Let Hugo believe that he is talented in acting, and his hard work over the years is not useless. This is the biggest good news after crossing over.

   Looking at the receding scenery outside the window, Hugo clearly realized that this is Los Angeles, this is Hollywood, and this is the center of world cinema. Here, the story of overnight fame is constantly being staged, and there are endless steps to climb the sky. Hugo doesn't want himself to be popular overnight, he just hopes that he can have more opportunities to realize his dream, this is enough, because he will rely on his own strength to go to the end for the rest of the road!

"My vision is extremely broad. I enjoy every day on the road. Appreciating the world outside the window means saying goodbye to the past and starting the journey today." Hugo hummed softly, using his inner emotions with music. This is how Hugo is best at it.

  Music is a very strange thing. It is said that music has no borders, because it is composed of musical notes, conveys emotions through lyrics, and finally ferments the emotions by the singer's interpretation. Therefore, this also makes music one of the most direct ways of human emotional communication. After every seemingly common musical note is put together according to the emotional rhythm, it will become a resonance deep in the heart. This feeling is really amazing. Up.

After the establishment of Glory to Death, Hugo and his teammates have been learning music and self-learning to create. Of course, in the past few years, they can only be regarded as a family level, until they entered the underground rock music industry, they were regarded as real. Learned systematically. Hugo's musical talent is more in creation. On the contrary, his musical talent is very average. He has only learned the guitar so far, and he is not good at playing, but he has made great progress in music creation. quick.

   It is a pity that Hugo's time for learning to compose is still too short, which also makes the quality of the music that Glory To Death self-created is not always high, which keeps delaying the time for them to become famous. Today is the first time after Hugo crossed over, inspiration in his head. This kind of inspiration is different from before. It seems to have a little more shining spirituality. I don't know if it is because of the long-term precipitation that has produced a qualitative change or the shuttle of time and space makes the mind refreshed. , So Hugo hummed directly.

   Listening to the music escaping from Hugo’s mouth, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com Joseph finally had a reaction. He couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at Hugo. "What song is this?" Joseph could not understand the lyrics of this song, because Hugo hummed very vaguely, but the melody was moving. It grabbed his ears and aroused his curiosity.

   Hugo turned his head and looked over, showing a big smile, "I just wrote it myself."

   Joseph’s first reaction was to look at Hugo in surprise. Hugo realized that something was amiss: Is his predecessor a sound idiot? No way…

Just as Hugo was considering how round it should be, he could see the road ahead, "Attention! You are driving!" A roar suddenly made Joseph turn his head and look at the road ahead. There was a truck right in front of him. Fortunately, Hugo yelled fast, otherwise it would be troublesome if the distance was a little closer. Joseph quickly stepped on the brakes slightly to control the speed of the car.

   This is the gap, Hugo finally recovered, and explained, "I am boring to write and play. What, do you think it is good?"

   Joseph didn't turn his head this time, he still looked at the road ahead, "Yes, very good. It's just that I didn't know that you have this talent before, which is a bit surprised."

Hugo couldn’t help but sighed. It’s not sound idiots, otherwise it would be troublesome to explain. He smiled, pretending to be relaxed and teased, "Then if I can’t get the work of an actor, maybe I can still Singing for a little income. Maybe someday I can release an album and become a singer!"

   "Cut. You thought you were John Lennon." Joseph poured cold water on Hugo dismissively.
