"What are you talking about? Looks so happy. Green picked up the rag and began to wipe the counter, walked up to the three Hugos, and asked with a smile.

"Finally free to take care of other guests?" Hugo didn't answer, but looked at the beautiful 'girl' sitting at the other end of the bar with a smile, "You shouldn't have spent so long with just one phone number, right?" At least a quarter of an hour had passed, and Green had a good conversation with the beautiful woman there, and it seemed that progress should be no small

"Look at your impatient look, you know you're a novice at a glance. Gentlemen should not be abrupt, but let the lady feel respected, especially the lady who has just come of age. Green smiled meaningfully, Hugo and Neil understood at once, but Pedro sat next to him with question marks on his face, obviously not in a state of conversation, "She took the initiative to give me her phone number, and I invited her to dinner tomorrow."

"Aha! That's what a gentleman is for, dinner on a first date? It's really "slow" Hugo deliberately emphasized the last adjective, which made both Green and Neil laugh.

Pedro, who was still out of the situation, asked with a puzzled expression, "What are you talking about?" Who is Green going to dinner with?" He didn't even see the beautiful woman sitting at the other end of the bar, and he didn't even know who Hugo was talking to. This question made all three of them laugh.

"It's not you anyway." Green said to Pedro, causing the kid to mumble dissatisfied, "Don't treat me like a child!" I'm of legal drinking age!" This made Hugo not hold back for a while, and laughed directly, but found Pedro's complaint and quickly apologized, "I didn't mean to, I just thought about the band and was in a good mood." ”

"Yes, the band." Neil was helpless next to him, and Hugo's way of changing the subject was too bad.

Unexpectedly, Pedro actually bought it, "Yes, we were talking about the band just now." As a result, Hugo gave Neil a smug look, which made Neil roll his eyes directly.

"Oh, the band! You're going to form a band. Green also changed the subject, excitedly saying, "Who are they?" Green is a regular customer of Al Bar, and he knows almost everything, so he is also very involved in the topic of rock and roll.

"Just the three of us." Neil gestured to the three people in the room.

"Including Hugo?" Green looked a little surprised, "What about your movie, I'm still looking forward to your new work!" Green's eagerness reminded Hugo, and when they first met, Green mentioned that he liked his films very much, and now it seems to be true, "You shouldn't be discouraged by those damn reports, right?"

"Green, your attitude would make me think that you think I was a terrible idea to join the band." Hugo was not in a hurry, and said with a smile.

"No, of course not." Green shook his head repeatedly, he was stunned, remembering the last rock night when he saw Hugo's 'colorful' guitar skills, and then laughed, "No, I just ...... I'm just looking forward to you having more excellent film works, you know, I think your performance on the big screen is really 'outstanding'. ”

"Well, thank you." Hugo accepted Green's compliment with a smile, raised his beer glass and nodded, then took a big sip of thanks, "Don't worry, those bad things won't affect me, I'm actively looking for the next work." But I thought, since I have time, why not carry out my musical dreams as well? Maybe that's a good idea too. ”

Green looked at Pedro, and then at Neil, these are all young people he has heard of, knowing their strength, he didn't have an idea just now, and now he thinks about it carefully, and his interest can't help but rise, "This is really a 'great' decision!" Do you form a band? God, I'm already looking forward to your music. ”

Although it is said that a group of powerful young people gathering together does not mean that they can produce good music, even if they can produce good music, it does not mean that they can break into a world in the strong underground rock music circle; But Green looked at the three young people in front of him, their ability is the talent of the band, as long as they can find the soul that suits the band and carry it forward, then the music of this band is worth looking forward to!

"What's the name of your band?" Green couldn't wait to ask.

Hugo turned his head to look left and right, Pedro and Neil both looked confused, Neil said, "We've only decided to form a band for five minutes, and there's no rush to name it." ”

"Yes......" Green reacted, "and a three-member band, that's not enough, you need to add members." ”

"Yes, it's just a prototype of a band now." Pedro excitedly said, "It's a good start, isn't it?"

Although it is said that after entering the 21st century, a band basically only needs four people to be formed, generally speaking, as long as there is a bass, drums, keyboards, and guitar, it can become a band, and many traditional heavy metal bands are dismissive of keyboards, believing that keyboards are a desecration of rock music, so the band may be more concise; But most bands will have five members, one each for bass, drums, and keyboards, and the rhythm guitar and melodic guitar will also have a detailed division of labor, and in terms of specific responsibilities, sometimes the guitarist will also take care of the keyboard player, or the lead singer and guitarist, and there are various compositions.

In any case, a three-person band is not complete, and there is no one in the band for the keyboard and drums for the time being, so it will definitely take members to be able to put the band together.

"Of course. I didn't think I could put a band together in a day. Hugo also has a smile on his face, and it is a surprise to be able to reach an agreement with Neil and Pedro today. If we find another place to practice, our band will be the first step, right?"

Although the members of the band are still incomplete, having a fixed practice venue is obviously a symbol of finalizing things, and the whole person's positive 'sex' will be renewed. Neil and Pedro also nodded their heads, but unfortunately none of the three were native to Los Angeles, Neil was Swedish and Pedro was Brazilian, and there was no way to start their band career in the garage at home like many locals.

"If you can't find a practice space, there's something to be done here." Green pointed to the area behind the bar, "Behind this is a row of old warehouses, which I usually open to some bands as practice venues, if you need to, you can make a reservation in advance." ”

"Really?" Hugo seemed very surprised, but it was not surprising when you think about it, Green was a rich man, and Al Bar was his property, so it was not surprising that it was also his inheritance.

"Is the rent expensive?" Neil was still calm, didn't see the smiles on Pedro and Hugo's faces, and asked.

"$100 a month, and you pay for your own electricity." Green said lightly that this rent is basically equal to no collection, and it can be seen that his support for underground rock music is indeed from the heart.

Hugo didn't think about the rent in the first place, although he is not a rich man now, he still has the money to rent the house, but he immediately understood Neil's intentions. They were friends who had just met, and they had come together because of their musical hobby, but underground bands often had a hard time making a regular income, so it became very difficult to maintain the band. If they had been dependent on Hugo, then only two would have turned out to be a band of Hugo's own band, and the meaning of friends gathering together to make music they liked would have been lost; Otherwise, Hugo was overwhelmed, and after leaving the band, the band dispersed. Therefore, the brothers settle the accounts clearly and deal with the money relationship clearly, which can ensure the purity of the band.

Therefore, Hugo did not stop Neil's words, and 'showed' a smile at him to express his affirmation, and then he heard Pedro's eager voice, "When can we go over and have a look?"

"Well, if you want, you can do it now." Green turned around and took a bunch of keys from the wine cabinet and threw them on the bar, Pedro picked up the keys and ran straight out, Green smiled at Hugo and Neil and explained, "Those warehouses are pretty much the same, you can go in and have a look." ”

Hugo and Neil nodded, then followed, walked out of the Al Bar, walked down the alley next to it to the back, and sure enough, they saw a row of warehouses, but at this time they were all dark lights, and there was no light, only to see Pedro standing at the 'door' of the first warehouse, and looked back in amazement and asked, "Where can I ask for rent?"

"Let you run that fast again." Hugo chuckled, "Green said that any room is fine, and the layout inside is almost the same." ”

Pedro ran directly to the first warehouse at hand, opened it and walked in, after the warehouse lights came on, the darkness retreated like a 'tide', and an empty warehouse appeared in front of him, about 700 square feet (65 square meters) The warehouse is not large, on the left side is a huge barbed wire, which is stacked with layers of wood, I don't know what it is for, the remaining about half of the space is open space, and there are a lot of long lines stacked next to it. There are some waste papers scattered on the ground, and the space is not large, but it is enough for the band.

"How?" Pedro stood in the middle and walked around, the sound spread in the warehouse, I just don't know how well it soundproofs next door, but since Green is willing to use it as a practice room, the soundproofing effect should still be okay if it is not top-notch.

Hugo and Neil looked at each other, then smiled together.

Hugo shrugged, "Well, this is it." Then he stretched out his right hand and put it in the air, Neil looked at Hugo, and then folded his right hand on Hugo's hand as well, and Pedro trotted all the way to it, and finally put his right hand on it. "It seems that our band has taken its first steps, and this is a good start!"

"Oh yes!" The three of them raised their hands to the sky together, and their dreams started here.
