296 Band Drummer
"Get out!" After Fokine said this, he saw the person in his sight, it was Hugo and Joseph, and after realizing that the other party had no malicious intent, Fokine did not apologize, but just withdrew his gaze and looked at the mess all over the ground.
Hugo didn't know much about Fokine, and the real 'communication' was very limited, so he looked at Joseph with some helplessness.
Joseph, as Fokin's roommate, naturally knows him better, Joseph knows that Fokine did not continue to drive them away, in fact, it is a way to show weakness, Joseph walked forward and pointed to the mess all over the ground, "So, do you need help?"
Fokine didn't look up, just stood silently, the overturned drum kit on the ground was scattered randomly, an acoustic guitar was upside down on the ground, I don't know if the strings were broken, a keyboard rack had been broken, and the keyboard was long gone, and two guitar cases were thrown on the ground, one of which had a big 'hole'. It stands to reason that there should still be bass boxes and keyboard boxes and the like, but they are nowhere to be found, and they are probably kicked into the distance.
Hugo looked up, and the pedestrians in New York hurried up again, looking at the musical instruments scattered all over the ground, many of them were forced to take a detour or jump over the instruments, which made Hugo's heart go up and down. As a musician from a band and a band member who has been in the pocket for ten years, Yuguo can't accept the fact that the instruments are thrown on the ground like this, not to mention whether they have been damaged, and if they are stepped on by a reckless pedestrian, it is a real heartache.
Hugo glanced at Foquin again, and found that he was still motionless, and did not pay attention to Joseph's intentions, so as a last resort, Hugo stepped forward, picked up all the instruments scattered around, and then took them back, and piled them up with the drum kit as the center. Seeing this, Joseph also came to help.
Hugo looked at the torn drum kit, fortunately there was no damage in front of each part of the drum, but it is unknown if there were internal injuries inside, Hugo knew how to assemble the drum kit, and the drummer Lixia, who had helped the glorious to death in the past, had done this work countless times, but Hugo was not sure whether Fokine wanted to assemble the drum kit or put it in a box to leave, so he didn't do it.
Hugo picked up the guitar that had fallen next to the big drum and looked at it carefully, but fortunately the wire was not broken, and the sound hole of the case was not damaged, and it seemed that it was not affected much in the fight just now. However, due to the fall on the ground, the sound quality must have been affected, and the strings need to be retuned. Generally speaking, tuning requires a piano as a measure of intonation, but Hugo was familiar enough with the guitar and had a talent for intonation, so he could tune the strings without the help of the piano.
Hugo subconsciously held the guitar and began to tune the strings, which has become a habit developed in Hugo's ten-year music career.
Hearing the sound of the guitar strings, Fokine seemed to finally come to his senses, looked at Hugo who was tuning the strings, and Joseph, who was standing next to him looking at the instrument with a regretful face, bit his 'lip' flap hard, and said, "I'm very sorry just now, and thank you." "Just like Fokin's 'sex', he speaks crisply and neatly, and never drags mud and water.
Joseph looked up at Fokine, "It's okay. Then he pointed to the nosebleed and stains on the white T-shirt of Fokin, "Are you okay?"
Forkinneatly shook his head, indicating that he had no problem, "Sorry for letting you see a farce." ”
Hugo, who was tuning the strings, said, "Every band has its own contradictions. "In fact, this is the same as the fact that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the band is a small group, everyone has their own 'nature', their own thoughts, and their own revenge, and it is inevitable that there will be conflicts. Some bands have resolved the conflict and have been able to continue, such as Linkin Park and U2; Some bands were not able to persevere in the midst of the contradictions and eventually disbanded, such as the Beatles and Oasis.
Fawkin glanced at Hugo, as far as he knew, Hugo didn't have a band now, but then he thought that with Hugo's amazing talent and deep knowledge of the band, Hugo should have been playing a band a long time ago, but now there is no band. Fokine subconsciously thought that Hugo must have experienced this qiē.
Forkine let out a long sigh and sat down on the broken guitar case, "Today the band was going to perform on the street in New York, and we said that we would perform all the way from Los Angeles to New York, and then stay here for a month, and then perform all the way back to Los Angeles. Unexpectedly, the band members drank and misbehaved and messed up the performance. It's terrible. With that, Fokine kicked the other intact guitar case in a rage.
Although Fokine's explanation is simple, Hugo can make a guess from what he just saw. Presumably, Forkine thought that their band needed to accumulate more performance experience, and came up with this performance plan from West Coast to East Coast and back to West Coast all the way from East Coast.
In fact, this plan is objectively worth advocating, not only because the rich performance experience will make the band strength to a higher level, but also because the difference in the musical atmosphere between the east and west coasts, coupled with the performance experience of road trips, can increase the band's horizons. But the problem is that, first, this plan is very time-consuming and expensive; Second, the journey itself was full of difficulties and challenges. Finally, the months-long coexistence meant that the band members had to stay together 24 hours a day, increasing the possibility of conflict.
So, after Fokine proposed to build yì, he was met with strong opposition from the band, and no matter what, it finally came to fruition. And they succeeded in coming from the West Bank to the East Bank. But more than a month of persistence has allowed the band's conflict to accumulate to a certain extent - Hugo doesn't know if they broke out on their previous trip, but it can be seen from the 'fierce' fierce Cheng dù that broke out today, and today when the guy named Brown delayed the performance because of drinking, it completely detonated the anger of both parties.
Judging from the situation just now, although Brown and the other two people are in a group, the five band members are estimated to still have their own conflicts with each other, as if the person who helped Fawkin just now ended up arguing with Fokin.
Hugo looked up at Forquin in surprise, his eyes were full of surprise, "I thought your band was not only famous, but also powerful......" Hugo's words were direct and hurtful, and the subtext was to say, "Your band doesn't look good now" It seems that today, under the influence of Catherine and Fokin, Hugo's style of speaking is also a lot sharper.
Fokine didn't mind Hugo's words at all, "It's because I'm a little famous that I get carried away." With a mocking face, he was obviously very dissatisfied with the expression of his band mates.
Hugo thought about it carefully, Fokin's band should be a new day, he had been with Neil and Pedro for a long time, and he also had a certain understanding of the Los Angeles underground rock music scene. New Day is a mid-level band in the circle, with many performance opportunities, but the level of band members is uneven, among which Fujin is the most famous as a drummer and the leader of the band. The drummer who is "behind the scenes" takes the lead position in the band, which is a bit top-heavy for the current rock environment where the lead singer or guitar dominates.
In fact, in Hugo's view, a band must have a soul character, no matter what position this character is, whether it is the lead singer or the drummer, he must give the band enough 'spirit', and then bring the band together, which can make the band grow.
In the past, the soul of glory to death was the lead singer Su Zinan, Hugo has always admired him, but with Hugo's creative talent gradually being brought into play, Hugo's influence on the whole band has been intensifying, fortunately, the friends of glory to death have gathered together from the beginning, even because of sucking. Poison. Gu Xiaoqing, the second guitarist of Zhang Xiaoye, who died in overdose, has also followed the band for more than seven years, so their cohesion is still very strong. Of course, the most important reason is also because Hugo did not have the idea of competing with Su Zinan, on the contrary, the harmonious relationship between the two people who cherish each other and help each other has made the band favored by the 'Mi' Di Rock Festival.
But obviously, in the band of New Day, the people who want to be noticed are not capable enough to become the soul of the band, which also leads to the continuous expansion of internal contradictions in the band.
It's ironic that some people are short-sighted and start getting carried away after a new day of rolling around the underground rock circles of Los Angeles, or even the underground rock circles of the whole of America. However, Fokine's vision is very sophisticated, and he wants to take the band to the whole of the United States, and then make the band stronger to the next level. No wonder the soul of the band is Fokine, not the who-who-who.
"Everybody wants to be able to follow a band all the way to the highest point of their musical dreams, but life doesn't always work out its way, does it?" Hugo's knowledge of the band is far better than that of the actor industry, so Faucin only said a few words, and Hugo could already see the essence of the problem. "Isn't it normal for the band to choose another group of partners and seek new sparks if they can't succeed? With your strength, I think there should be quite a few bands willing to invite you. ”
Fokine is indeed the number one drummer in the rock scene in Los Angeles, but unfortunately he was dragged down by his teammates who were not enterprising on the new day, and he was never able to go further.
Fokine knew that Hugo was right, but he shook his head, "Reluctantly." "He's put too much effort into the band on a new day, and it may not be difficult to leave his teammates, but it's not that easy to leave the band.
The sentence "reluctant" made Hugo stunned, in fact, he was willing to be glorious to death, and the thoughts of his teammates began to turn over the river and the sea in his mind. Hugo pulled out a helpless smile, then took a deep breath and looked at Forkin, "It's never so easy to give up." ”
Speaking of this, Hugo paused, suddenly remembered something, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Hey, Fokine, my band still doesn't have a drummer, would you like to join?"
