"So, what the hell do you mean?" Pedro sat in place and thought, when suddenly a sentence came out, which made Hugo and Neil, who were talking, stunned, and then laughed together.

"Are you still thinking?" Hugo thought Pedro had figured it out, so he chatted with Neil about the newly emerging British rock band in the past two years

Pedro didn't take a sip of the beer in his hand and looked at Hugo seriously, "Of course!" Can you show me a demo?"

Hugo laughed helplessly, "I told you that I can't play bass." "Actually, this is the problem of the authorities 'fascinating' the bystanders, if you record Pedro's performance just now, and then let him listen to it for himself, and then compare it with the original song of Pink Floyd, he can feel the difference.

Looking at Pedro with a tangled face, Hugo couldn't help but explain, "Pedro." As a result, the young man in front of him raised his head and frowned and glared fiercely, "I don't like people to call me that, especially friends." Hugo then remembered and nodded, "Pepe, you are a very 'good' bass player, I told you this, but you still lack acting experience, not only in public, but also with the band. If you're willing to join in these performances, you'll slowly find out what I'm talking about, you're talented, all you need is accumulation. ”

Afraid that Pedro wouldn't believe it, Hugo also pointed to the innocent Neil on his right, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Neil, he just thought the same as me." ”

Neil rolled his eyes speechlessly, expressing his disdain for Hugo, but without delay in his words, "Yes, Pepe, I agree with Hugo." Neil went on to add, "Actually, both the guitar and the bass are instruments for the band—this is what Hugo just told me," which left Hugo speechless, "so practicing with the band is the best way to improve your skills." Didn't I remember you had a band?"

"yes, the last time you went to rock night, weren't those guys in a band? You should practice more. "Although Hugo was 'confused', he quickly remembered the situation when he met Pedro that day, but the appearance of Pedro's friends was already very blurred.

Pedro shrugged helplessly, "We have a band, but it's just a hobby, and now that everyone is about to graduate, we haven't gathered together to practice for a future livelihood." "Hugo and Neil both understood, it seems that Pedro is still a college student, and unlike Fokine, he specializes in music, just a hobby, and after graduation, the pressure of life will inevitably face choices.

"What about you? Aren't you going to look for a job?" Neil followed Pedro's words and asked.

Pedro immediately looked entangled, and did not hide his true feelings in his heart, "I haven't made a decision yet." Actually, I want to stay in the band myself, but life isn't that simple, is it?" Pedro scratched his head irritably, then looked at the two people in front of him with a glimmer of hope, "What about you?" How did you choose?"

Neil smiled, "I perform on the streets, and I have a part-time job. It seems that Neil is still pursuing his dream, but he has never given up.

"And what about your ultimate goal? Are you going to go on like this?" Neil's life doesn't sound like a promising future, and street performances can't last forever, Pedro asked.

"Well, I'm raising money to interrupt going to Europe to attend major music festivals and meet more music partners, until one day, I feel like I can't hold on anymore, maybe I'll stop and find a stable job and become one of the hundreds of millions of people who don't do anything in this society." Neil said his dream lightly, but Hugo and Pedro both 'revealed' their yearning looks, getting rid of the shackles of the world and embracing freedom, which may be the ideal of countless people, but the courage and price to realize this ideal are too heavy, and few people can really do it.

Neil saw the expressions of the two people and waved his hand repeatedly, "Don't envy me, the price of freedom and dreams is too great." My spiritual life is very rich, but my material life is very tight, and I just need to keep food and clothing. He smiled and realistically described his current situation, "I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out, maybe tomorrow I'll suddenly decide not to stick to it." ”

Neil's words made both Pedro and Hugo laugh, "What about you?" Neil looked at Hugo.

Hugo was stunned, "I'm an actor, it's very simple." I thought you all knew, but it was disappointing. ”

Pedro's eyes widened in surprise, "I really don't know. Pedro turned to Neil and looked surprised, "Is he telling the truth?"

Hugo smiled dumbly, "Looks like I still need to work harder." On the side, Neil nodded and gave Pedro an affirmative answer, which made Pedro keep looking Hugo up and down, and then sighed, "It does look like an actor, but I don't know how to act, although I hardly watch movies." ”

"Your life is occupied by rock and roll, how can you have time to watch movies." Hugo's words made Pedro nod fiercely.

"So, you're giving up on music? Just as a hobby?" Pedro asked with interest, "It's a shame that your creative talent and guitar skills are so 'outstanding' that you don't make music." ”

Hugo didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while, and then sighed, "Actually, like Neil, I'm also persevering with enthusiasm, and I don't know when I won't be able to hold on, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year." Hugo didn't say whether he insisted on music or performance, in fact, he said glory to death, but when he heard Pedro and Neil's ears, it was a different feeling

Pedro thought that Hugo was just an inconspicuous actor, and life must be very hard, and the actors in Los Angeles were so dense that they could smash two actors by throwing a brick at random on Sunset Boulevard; Neil, on the other hand, looked thoughtfully at the target next to the bar wine cabinet, which also had a dart he had thrown

However, Hugo took a deep breath and adjusted the feelings, these things have been insisted on for too long and too long, and they have become a part of his blood, and there is no need to sigh too much. Instead, Hugo remembered his purpose for the day, and jokingly said, "I came to the Al Bar today to try my luck and see if there was a band looking for a guitarist, and it would be a good choice to join a band." ”

Although joining other bands is very new to Hugo, because he has only been in the band of glory to death all his life, and the members of the team are friends who have played together since childhood, so joining a new band is a very big change for Hugo, which makes him a little overwhelmed; But Hugo knew that when he arrived in Los Angeles in 1992, everything had to have a fresh start.

"Why do you want to join someone else's band, as an actor, it's hard for you to keep up with the practice time of other bands." Neil asked curiously, he obviously knew a lot about Hugo's achievements as an actor, so he knew that Hugo was now at a low point as an actor, but it meant that Hugo would always be at a low point in the future. The Golden Globe Award double nominees, although it is impossible to say how it will develop in the future, there is no doubt that they will be able to get the opportunity to perform in a short period of time.

Hugo pursed his lips, and was about to answer, when Pedro next to him 'interjected' and said, "You can form your own band and find some familiar friends." After all, it is more appropriate for the band to be friends together, and everyone has a common musical concept and a common musical goal. ”

"Well, that's one of the options." Hugo nodded directly in affirmation, "If you can find like-minded friends to form a band, this is naturally the best." It's just that the question is...... Hugo was going to say that he didn't know any friends who played rock in Los Angeles, but then he stopped, "Uh, I think, how about a few of us form a band?"

"You mean me and Neil?" Pedro raised his hand in surprise and pointed at Neil.

"It's just a mention." Hugo's eyes widened and he said with a smile.

In fact, Hugo, Neil and Pedro have only met a few times, except for music, there is almost no understanding of each other's 'sex' personality, habits, and hobbies, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing in the band is that the members have the same idea about music, and the run-in of 'sex' personality can only go with the flow.

So after Hugo said it, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea, so he explained it in passing.

No, Pedro immediately smiled, "Wow, this, of course this is the best." Pedro looked excited, "You and Neil have such a great guitar technique, and Hugo you can write your own guitar, it's just 'amazing'."

Hugo was surprised to get a response, things seemed to be much smoother than he had imagined, "Neil?"

Neil had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was calmer, "Hugo, I want to know, if you form a band, what is the purpose?" It's just a hobby, but I still want to really 'swing' out of the world. ”

Hugo thought for a moment, "Neil, you know, we can try it first, if it's not suitable, then forget it; If it works, maybe we can join the tour and become a real band. Of course, it's a good idea to start with rehearsal practice and then test the results from street performances. ”

After all, everyone is not familiar with it, whether there will be a fire 'flower' after the run-in, and what kind of fire 'flower' will be produced, this is not certain, let alone whether each other's 'sex' personalities can coexist in a band, which is even more difficult to predict, so Hugo did not say it all.

Neil heard Hugo's words, but nodded with satisfaction, without blind confidence and exaggeration, it was better to take one step at a time, "Then, I'll join!" “
