351 Hype back
Hugo and Fokine traveled together to the warehouse behind the Al Bar, which had officially become the practice base of the band Honor to Death, where they had been practicing every day since the band was formed. Today is the first week of the band's establishment of the Band of Glory to the Dead, and after discussion, it was decided to go to the streets to perform today, and perform while practicing, which is the first trial after the band officially embarked on its journey.
Live performances have always been an important way for rock bands to increase their strength, and live performances are also the 'essence' of rock bands, but in fact, large-scale rock band tours only flourished around 1998 with the rise of neo-metal rock.
Neo-metal rock bands are very keen to go on tour, and during the tour, the all-star vocals created by multiple bands often attract thousands of new song 'fans' overnight, and they will also promote new bands that are not yet well-known in their performances, reminding fans of the potential to become superstars in the future. For example, Linkin Park, known as one of the world's most 'colorful' live bands, has gradually accumulated their strength over the course of their tours, and each tour will have multiple bands join forces to form a strong appeal, which has also made rock an unshakable part of the mainstream music world.
As for the way to increase the strength of the tour, Hugo and Fokine hit it off on this point, and Neil also agreed, leaving Pedro and Alfonso without any objection to this. So, Fokine came up with a grand blueprint to complete the previous one-day trip across the United States in a glorious and death-like way, and the proposal was approved by all the bands.
Therefore, starting from the streets of Los Angeles, looking for the shortcomings of the band, and trying to cultivate the tacit understanding between the band members, this has become a short-term goal. Today, it is the first time to test the waters.
The first attempt was always full of uncertainty and anticipation, which made Hugo and Fokine both seem interested, discussing the repertoire of today's performance along the way, as well as the problems that arose during yesterday's practice, in fact, they had been talking for most of the night yesterday, and they are still enjoying it.
"Hugo, ahead." Fujin suddenly interrupted Hugo's words and gestured straight ahead, Hugo didn't have time to turn back, and saw a group of people swarming up from the corner of his eyes: "Paparazzi!" This idea immediately jumped into Hugo's brain, and after more than a year of cultivation, Hugo's vigilance 'sex' was immediately raised.
Hugo turned his head and immediately saw a crowd of reporters with more than double digits rushing in front of him, "God! Hugo rolled his eyes directly, then lowered his head and shouted at Fokin, "Ignore them, forward, forward!" โ
When he joined Glory to Death, Fokine expected such a situation, but when he actually encountered it, Fokine still felt that the scene was spectacular, watching a group of people pounce on them like sharks, and the picture was spectacular. Fokine is also a big man, a little shorter than Hugo, but a little stronger, he took a step forward, like a wall pressed up, plus Hugo, the two of them collided like playing rugby, although the reporter in front of him did not staggered like a bowling pin, but was also killed by Hugo and the two of them out of a bloody way.
But the paparazzi could not have let Hugo go easily, and after they were knocked aside, they quickly besieged them, and the shutter of the camera was pressed very happily, and the "click" sound and the flash lights lit up. Just when Fokine was wondering what news Hugo had recently made so many reporters surround him, the reporters answered his doubts.
"Hugo, Uma has expressed a negative opinion of you in an interview again, aren't you going to respond?"
"Uma said you don't have the same appearance, what do you think?"
"Yesterday Uma said you were a difficult man to get along with......"
Hugo's steps forward did not stop, but he couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth in his heart: Sure enough. In the last few days, he has been completely in the warehouse and practicing with the band, there is no news, the only possible 'sex' is that Ummah's malicious hype has struck again, and the day before yesterday Joseph was complaining to Carl that Uma is like a time bomb, and no one knows when it will explode again. Isn't that the end of today.
Fokine frowned slightly, he was disgusted by the gossip, as he had done on a new day, and although a lot of attention was focused on him, he would rather 'spend' more time on band practice than be a grandiose clown, which was the root cause of his conflict with the band members - in the eyes of others, Fokine was just in the midst of bliss.
Hugo looked up at the warehouse not far away, and he knew that these reporters would not let him go. Although he has decided not to pay attention to Uma, and resolutely cannot cooperate with this malicious hype, Hugo knows that in fact, reporters are like flies, that is, they do not stop until they reach their goal, and they keep buzzing around, which is very annoying, which will affect the band's practice, especially today when the band is going to take to the streets for actual combat practice, Hugo does not want his personal situation to affect the band.
Thinking of this, Hugo stopped, but Fokine did not react, and took two steps forward with the reporters, and then realized that Hugo was actually standing in place, and the reporters quickly swarmed towards Hugo again, Foquin stood alone outside the encirclement, did not move, and then Fokine heard the reporters shouting, and the noisy shouting made people have a headache.
Hugo raised his hand and stretched it forward, creating a space before himself and the reporter, who he still didn't like to get up close to. After the reporters' 'commotion', the voice finally quieted down, and someone raised his voice and said, "Hugo, Uma said in an interview yesterday that your personal appearance is different, and the image of the big screen is far from the image of your 'private' life......
Hugo followed the voice and looked over, it was Anthony Stewart of the National Inquirer, whose wrinkled white and fat figure was consistent, as if it had been crushed and plucked 'chicken' eggs. Sensing Hugo's disgusted gaze, Anthony not only did not be afraid, but became excited, and his voice couldn't help but be amplified, "She thinks it may be difficult for you to maintain a relationship." What are your thoughts on this? "Obviously, seeing Hugo suffer, that's what Anthony likes the most.
If Anthony targeted Hugo at the beginning, it was just for the news, then after the beating trap did not work, Anthony's malice towards Hugo gradually evolved into a 'private' person. Anthony just wants to see Hugo wolf bรจi, he just wants to see Hugo suffer, this is his happiness as a paparazzi.
Hugo's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, he looked away, did not look at Anthony, even just looking at him made Hugo feel his stomach rolling, the alarm in his heart sounded, and his whole body was armed, but for the content of Uma's words, Hugo was already mentally prepared.
In fact, Uma is also hinting that the main responsibility for this breakup lies with Hugo. Hugo has nothing to respond to this, everyone knows the truth of the matter, and if Uma can make her happy if she thinks like this, then Hugo has no way to force Uma to change her mind. In fact, Hugo has completely let go, and he will not affect his mood because of Uma's nonsense, and it is not worth it to ruin his good mood because of a stranger.
Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly, "If she's doing something to me from the friend's shoes, then I have to say, 'Hey, man, you should have a face-to-face interview with me.'" "Hugo's relaxed response obviously exceeded the expectations of the reporters, Hugo who has experienced the Golden Globe events has obviously grown rapidly, and Anthony can still rely on 'provoking' Hugo to achieve his own goals, but now this method is no longer applicable." But if it weren't for ......" Hugo shrugged, hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, and didn't speak, but the answer was obviously more obvious.
"Hugo, don't you have any specific response to say?" It was still Anthony who asked the question, and he obviously wanted Hugo to say a few bad things about Uma, wishing that the two of them would scold each other, and this news was 'fine'. It doesn't matter if Uma is hype or not, the point is whether this news can sell or not. "Uma thinks that the fault of the breakup is obviously with you, don't you want to answer?"
My answer is clear, if your ears are still functioning. I don't have anything else to say, so, please let me. "Hugo didn't say anything more, straightened his back, walked forward strongly, carved a path in the encirclement, and then calmly walked forward.
The reporters got the answers they wanted, and they knew that even if they continued to force Hugo, they would not get any other answers, so they didn't catch up. Anthony was the same, standing in place and pondering, Hugo's answer just now also has the focus of hype, at least Hugo's attitude to answer is worth thinking about.
Forgin stood in place, looking at the neatness between Hugo's eyebrows, but he 'revealed' a smile, gave Hugo a thumbs up, praised Hugo's handling just now, and then walked into the warehouse side by side.
Pedro was the first to greet him, "Hugo, those reporters outside didn't embarrass you, did they?" โ
"It's just a flock of crows." Hugo pursed his lips and laughed first, but the four people next to him looked at Hugo in confusion. Hugo realized that they didn't understand the joke, so he then learned to crow, "croak, croak, ......" and then understood, Neil didn't hold back, and laughed, Alfonso then laughed, but Pedro didn't understand, grabbed Hugo and asked, "What's going on?" โ
Hugo replied, "Quack, quack......" The series of crow cries made Pedro more and more confused, and Alfonso also began to "croak" and "play" Pedro together. Fujin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but smile, and the corners of his mouth were outlined.
