Hugo sat in a chair in the beauty room, yawning constantly, and Troy, the makeup artist standing next to Hugo as he dried his hair. Cole laughed and said, "What did you do last night, you just slept for half an hour."

Hugo opened his eyes, still sleepy-eyed, "If you get up at seven o'clock in the morning, run for half an hour, and then drive an hour from Malibu to the city, then you can understand my state." ”

"Oh, Malibu, where did you buy a house? Nor did I be invited to the party of the new house to join the party. Troy said with a smile, with familiarity in his tone.

In fact, Troy and Hugo have not known each other for a long time, after Hugo began to promote "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'" in November", he fixed himself in the beauty salon where Troy worked, because Hugo's publicity itinerary in the past two months was very intensive, similar to test screenings, radio programs, ribbon-cutting and other promotional activities required Hugo to make full preparations to arrive at the scene, so Hugo and Troy met very frequently, and the two of them became familiar with a lot.

Today, Hugo was attending the Golden Globe Awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in the evening, so he came to the beauty salon early in the morning to take care of himself. Since there must be a large number of artists attending the ceremony today, Hugo also made an appointment early, so he arrived at the beauty salon on time to start his trip today

Hearing Troy's ridicule, Hugo couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm not that rich now, buy a house in Malibu?" It was a distant dream. The villa I live in now costs $5 million, which is a low-to-medium grade in Malibu. ”

"Now that you know you have a job today, you should have ended your vacation yesterday." Troy said casually with a smile.

Hugo yawned again, "yes, I thought it would be only a forty-minute drive, but this morning Santa Monica Boulevard was jammed with traffic, and I was almost late, which is really frustrating." ”

As he spoke, a familiar and unfamiliar voice came from the TV screen in front of him, and Hugo looked up and saw that it was "Oprah talk show" "Isn't this already broadcast the day before yesterday?" During the live broadcast, he and Uma watched it in the villa.

"It was four days ago." Troy corrected Hugo, making Hugo laugh, he really didn't have an accurate idea of time during the vacation, "This episode is very successful, this is the third time in four days," Troy's words surprised Hugo, he was in Malibu, as if he was completely cut off from the world, Joseph mentioned it to him, but Hugo did not expect it to be so successful, "This is just what I saw, I didn't know after a few reruns outside of that." ”

Seeing Hugo's curious expression, Troy couldn't help but smile, asked the assistant next to him to turn up his voice a little louder, and then said, "Don't you know the ratings of this 'Oprah talk show' when it premiered? The whole of Los Angeles is boiling over it, well, actually, I mean to say the whole of America is buzzing, but you know, I just saw the sights of Los Angeles and I didn't know the sights of other cities, but the ratings and the newspapers and magazines told me, man, you're the hottest topic right now. ”

Hugo's sleepy bugs suddenly ran a lot, "Ratings? Joe told me, uh......" Hugo felt that his memory was a little vague, when Joseph sued him that day, he was so excited, his usual steady tone was almost not directly screaming, Hugo couldn't remember the specific number, only remembered that he was also happy with Joseph, but he forgot the details, "Fifteen million viewers?"

"God, you're such a big heart." Troy rolled his eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with Hugo's attitude, and then his eyes widened and said excitedly, "With 23 million viewers, this is the best episode of the 'Oprah talk show' in the past year." ”

The memory in Hugo's head gradually became clear, no wonder Joseph was so excited that day, his usual calmness could not be suppressed at all, the average number of viewers of the "Oprah talk show" has been maintained at about 12 million, and the show starring Hugo actually created a nearly twice the result, which is indeed very terrifying. More importantly, this means that 23 million people across the United States watched Hugo's interview, and Troy's phrase "the whole of America is bustling...... is confirmed. You know, the current population of the United States is only 250 million

"You really should go read the newspapers and magazines." Troy built yì to.

Hugo remembered that Joseph had built him in this way, but he was on vacation in Malibu, and they didn't subscribe to any newspapers and magazines, plus they were all at home for a few days, so the information was almost isolated, and now it is not like the twenty-first century, even if you stay at home, a computer can connect with the world, so Hugo's news is lagging behind.

"So, what newspaper do you have here?" Hugo was completely awake at this time, looking around for any vehicle through which he could explore information.

Troy searched around, then asked his assistant to bring all the newspapers and magazines that could be seen around, "Here, here are all the newspapers and magazines of the past week, you can find them yourself." ”

Hugo ignored Troy's busyness and began to flip through the magazines in his hand, and he soon found relevant reviews in the "Rolling Stone" magazine.

"Rolling Stone", as a journal that started as a professional music magazine, has developed into a professional music magazine with the highest sales volume and the most authoritative reputation in the United States, and has been involved in variety shows, movies and other fields, becoming a comprehensive "sex" magazine, but the authoritative "sex" of some of the music content still ranks first in the United States.

…… Sunburn, as a pure acoustic guitar repertoire, shows a completely different and fresh style, blending folk and pop elements, and presenting the essence of music with the most basic strings, which is refreshing.

The creator did not use 'fancy' fingering and cumbersome arrangement, but restored the most original sound quality of the acoustic guitar, and interpreted it with this clear and slightly fragile string sound, when the acoustic guitar vibrates, it is like a 'chanting' poet wandering in the streets, 'chanting' sings the story of an unknown sad person, and then flutters in the wind, sings everywhere, and is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

The creator's ability to use the simplest arrangement to present the deep loss and entanglement of the heart is outstanding, and what is even more commendable is that the lyrics seem plain, but with a faint charm, like the aroma of mint leaves, lingering in the air for a long time, which complements the melody and makes for a masterpiece.

It's hard to imagine that such a masterpiece is actually from Hugo Lancaster, an actor who is 'colorful', and his biggest achievement in music before is the adaptation of the ending song for his starring movie 'Yihai Xiongfeng'. This time, however, Lancaster was on the scene of the show, and it took only seven steps to compose the song, and his musical talent was so shocking that he had to give it a standing ovation. ”

After Hugo finished reading it, he was a little surprised, although he liked the song "Sunburn" very much, he did not expect that "Rolling Stone" magazine would give such a high evaluation, which was really overjoyed. Prior to this, Hugo's songs were considered to be self-entertainment, even if they were used for the performance of glory to death, they were only disseminated within a small range of people, and Hugo's ability was never recognized by authority; And this time, Hugo showed his creative talent in front of 23 million people, and the authoritative "Rolling Stone" magazine in the United States and even the world gave such high recognition, which made Hugo "excited" a little unable to help himself, he didn't even have too many expressions, because he didn't know how to express his joy.

The next few newspapers were not dated correctly, so I didn't see the relevant information, but Hugo's slightly trembling hands still 'revealed' his inner 'excitement', and finally found another professional music magazine "Spin".

Founded in l985, the magazine was founded in l985 and focused on reporting on non-mainstream music in the early days, with enough attention paid to the emerging hip-hop music at that time.

The magazine's choice of materials has always been bold and unconventional, which is very different from the relatively conservative "Rolling Stone" magazine, which can be vividly reflected in the coverage of underground rock bands, and many unknown rock bands can even appear on the cover of "Rotation" magazine, which shows their boldness.

In terms of music genres, hardcore, country, reggaeton, real yàn music, and underground music all occupy a considerable proportion of "rotation", and "rotation" on the rise of hip-hop music has played a decisive and "sexual" role in pushing the "waves" to fuel the fire. Therefore, "rotation" is very authoritative in the underground music world, even more popular than "Rolling Stone".

Hugo opened the "Rotation" and saw the comment inside, writing, "It is a bold attempt to interpret the ballad in a popular way." And more importantly, not only is it not annoying, but it also makes people like abnormalities, which is enough to see the talent of Hugo Lancaster. Lancaster uses the most concise arrangement to present the innermost feelings in an understated way, but it deeply and heavily breaks down the psychological defense of the listener, and the 'sunburn' remains on the surface of every listener's skin.

Compared with Lancaster's creative talent, his singing and interpretation ability has attracted the author's attention. A good piece can be interpreted in countless ways, and it never goes out of style, but only the right way can maximize the charm of the song, and there is no doubt that Lancaster is on the right path.

In Lancaster's singing without 'spending' any effort, the delicate transposition, the drag of the tail note, and the rhythm of ventilation are full of amazing 'glamorous' skills, when I first listened to it, I didn't seem to have noticed the reason and was hit hard by this song, except for feeling the turmoil and regret in my heart, I didn't have any thoughts; Milk and butter meet strawberries, and the charm of the song is brought out to the fullest.

No one can deny that Lancaster has stunned us. ”

Looking at the comments on "Rotation", Hugo finally felt a little real: his musical talent was recognized?
