302 Band Romance
"Whew, what a surprising afternoon, wasn't it?" Hugo stretched a big waist and looked at the crowd of onlookers who had finally dispersed, and the streets gradually returned to their usual normal. Then when his eyes fell on the guitar box that had been broken by Fokine, full of coins and banknotes, Hugo 'revealed' a smile, "It's also a good afternoon." β
Just now, Hugo and Fokine entered the second cooperation, and the "lithium" created on the scene had the first run-in, and the second time the two not only cooperated but also competed, giving full play to the charm of the band's live singing, causing all the onlookers to follow Joshua's footsteps, and began to jump and shout like crazy, and even made passers-by mistakenly think that there was a crowd here to make trouble, and dialed Y911 to attract the patrol police.
After explaining the situation to the patrol officer, everyone burst into laughter, and the patrol officer was naturally very familiar with the street performances on the streets of New York, so he quickly understood what was going on, and he was quite a little crying and laughing, but he still evacuated the crowd. After all, this place is not far from Times Square, and it is easy to cause congestion in the 'traffic', and then it is easy to cause 'chaos' and 'chaos', and it is not far from the time when 42nd Street will be revitalized.
The crowd of onlookers reluctantly turned away, and many of them stepped forward to express their admiration to Hugo and Fokine, and then left their hearts in the broken guitar case. By the time the more than 300 people at the scene had left in pieces, it was already twenty minutes later.
Fokine looked down at the mess on the floor, some trivial trash that hadn't covered up the few drops of blood that had left behind the recent brawl in their band, and which still looked so glaring that it reminded him of the struggles of the past few months, and the guitar case that had been half destroyed by his 'buttocks' was now filled with coins and banknotes, not just money, but also an affirmation of the audience's performance.
Fujin raised his head and looked at Hugo with a relaxed smile on his face, it was difficult for him to connect the gentle Hugo in front of him with the person who had been engrossed and domineering after the performance just now, he couldn't help but nod his chin slightly, "Yes, what an incredible afternoon." β
Hugo took his eyes off the guitar case, and while Hugo wasn't sure how much money was inside, maybe a thousand dollars, a few hundred dollars would be more than enough. Hugo turned his gaze to Fokin, "So, how did today's audition feel?" Is YiqiΔ still satisfied? Do you have enough reasons to leave the day?"
Hugo won't forget the reason for their performance just now, maybe it was just a joke at first, but after the cooperation just now, Hugo really had such a mind, if they can get Fokine to join, then their band will have a basic configuration, plus a keyboardist, the band can officially start practicing, which is great.
Fokine could feel that the smile on Hugo's face was less of the banter and banter before the performance, and more serious and sincere. Fokine must admit that Hugo at this moment is very convincing, and the cooperation just now is also very pleasant, and it can even be said that this kind of performance process is the experience that Fokine is looking forward to, but Fokine still shook his head.
"I'm happy with your reasoning, but I still can't help it." Fokine didn't know what other people thought of him, but in his own mind, New Day was a band he created and grew up with, and despite the many arguments between them, and although the future of the band didn't seem so bright, Fokine still wanted to be able to fight side by side with his band mates.
Hugo was not surprised by Fokine's answer, but the disappointment on his face was still 'revealed' without any disguise, "Fokin, you know, you missed a good and good opportunity. Hugo paused, then shook his head helplessly, and sketched a shallow smile, "Of course, I also missed a good drummer." β
"I know why you chose to stay, but I still hope you think about it carefully, maybe a different environment, looking for a new partner, there will be a different beginning, and there is a future." Hugo stopped Fokine, who wanted to refute him, and expressed his opinion mildly.
Hugo himself is a member of the glory to death, if possible, of course he is willing to continue in the band, this is not only a loyalty, but also the friendship and righteousness between men, so Hugo can understand Fokin's mood, he is not surprised by Fokin's choice, but from Hugo's point of view, of course he still wants Fokine to join their team, this is the different way of thinking determined by different positions.
Fogin listened to Hugo's sincere words, and his tense mood couldn't help but relax, and after Hugo finished expressing his opinion, he didn't mention the matter again, but raised his hand to help put away the musical instruments, and cleaned up all the mess on the streets, and finally escorted Fogin to a place where he could take a taxi, and then turned to leave.
Looking at the back of Hugo leaving, the thought in Fukin's head suddenly began to rise uncontrollably: maybe it would be really a good thing to cooperate with Hugo. But eventually, Fokine struggled to retract his gaze, got into a taxi, and returned to their band's place to find his bandmates. Contradictions arise, and evasion will never be the solution.
"Why don't you persuade Fujin anymore? I think he's actually willing to work with you from the bottom of his heart. Joseph, as a bystander, could see it clearly, so he asked curiously. Although Joseph didn't quite understand anything like technology, he could feel the spark of the first collaboration between Hugo and Fokin.
Hugo was amused by Joseph's words, and knew that Joseph was a person who had never played in a band when he heard it, "You are wrong, Fokine's reason is that he thinks it is good to work with me, but his real intention is to stay in the original band, and this idea has the upper hand." "The love that the band members work hard together to stay behind is not so simple to give up.
Joseph pouted disapplausively, "I think it's normal for those bands to split and combine, it's never unusual to change guitarists today and bassists tomorrow." β
This is a fact, this is also part of the life of the band, and the band that can fight together forever is only a minority. So Hugo couldn't refute Joseph, he just smiled and said, "Joe, it's like Lang coming over and poaching my corner, or Rick, my sanity thinks it's a good idea, because anybody wants to work with a senior agent who can provide better service, but I think it's better to work with you." Fokine, too. β
Joseph was stunned by Hugo's words, looking at the indifferent but firm smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, Joseph avoided his gaze a little wolfly, and then muttered, "Then according to what you say, Fokine better not come." β
"What? What do you say?" Hugo didn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and ask
"Nothing, nothing." Joseph shook his head, and then he strode away, trying to leave Hugo behind, but Joseph forgot that Hugo was also a tall man, and chased after him in a few steps. Joseph saw the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, and in order to avoid Hugo asking again, he had to change the subject, "What other places in New York do you want to go next?" Since it's a vacation, let's take your time. β
"We should still go to see certain attractions, or we should go to find a restaurant near the statue of the 'goddess' of liberty for dinner......" Hugo's attention was indeed diverted, and Joseph breathed a sigh of relief.
It is naturally impossible for Hugo to visit if there are not a hundred or eighty attractions in New York, and he does not like to rush to the place like those tourists, so Hugo chooses to slow down, for example, after arriving at the statue of the "goddess" of freedom, he stops by in Manhattan. The city began to hang out.
Manhattan's Under. Although the city has a core area like Wall Street, it is also the most vibrant area of Manhattan, home to artists, dream models, showbiz stars and gays, Washington Square, Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy, China, it seems that most of Manhattan lives in this small area. At the same time, New York University and Columbia University are also here, giving the area a youthful vibe.
Because of the youth, because full of dreams and creativity, New York down. The style of the city also represents the essence of New York fashion: relaxed, free, ingenious, full of creativity and individuality, which is exactly the place where street photographers are most willing to lurk. is different from above. The nobility of the city and the middle. The luxury of Fifth Avenue in the city is expensive, down. The urban area is closer to young people and students, and many white-collar workers are more willing to shop here.
So, just a downtown town is enough to keep Hugo wandering for a long time, and this kind of tourism without a specific destination can not only see the general life of the city, but also feel the nostalgic character of the city. Hugo is clearly very fond of this type of travel.
"Greenwich Village is truly amazing, do you remember that pirate bar? The appearance makes people yearn for it, but it's a pity that there is no 'door' today. "Hugo's body has returned to its temporary residence. The central 'flower' garden hotel in Acre in the city (aka. ceralγ park), but the mind remains. The urban area is full of exotic 'fascinated' people and 'color'.
"If you want, we can go again tomorrow, anyway, the trip is all arranged by ourselves." Joseph doesn't have much enthusiasm for traveling, anyway, it's just hanging out, and the requirements are not high.
Hugo shook his head, "There are other places I want to see tomorrow, and when I finish walking, if I still have time and want to go, then I will go over again......" Hugo was halfway through speaking, but found that Joseph's expression was slightly stiff, and his pace slowed down, Hugo couldn't help but look at Joseph's line of sight, and then saw two unexpected figures appear in the hotel lobby.
