"So, you put on a street show with Fukin?" After listening to Hugo's brief explanation, Pedro looked at Hugo in surprise.

After receiving a nod in the affirmative from Hugo, Pedro continued in a daze, "And 'lithium, this song was also created on the spot when you were inspired by it?"

"Pepe, is it because I'm not clear enough, or are your ears getting old?" Hugo was directly amused by Pedro's incredulous expression, and said with a smile, "Yes, as I said, this qiē is just a coincidence." ”

"You shouldn't be so surprised, have you forgotten? The same was true of your first day with Hugo. Neil kindly reminded Pedro of the song "Strangling the Hero." your。 heroes)”。 Neil had long admired Hugo's ability to create on the spot - but at the moment he was shocked again, but Neil preferred to focus on the legendary "lithium" that caused more than 300 people to fall into a carnival at the scene and attracted the patrolmen. "Hey, can you play live? I mean, the song you worked on with Fokine. ”

Hugo nodded, "Of course there is no problem. He looked around, "Since there is no drummer, I must have played the acoustic guitar version a lot less effectively, but ...... I think there will still be artistic conception. Hugo walked straight to the open space next to him, rummaging through a guitar that he had handy.

You have this advantage in the Al Bar, you can play music at any time, and you can meet like-minded people at any time. Hugo played the song "Lithium" once on the spot, and it must be admitted that without the coordination of the drums, the infectious power that makes people surging with blood has decreased a lot, and it can't show the original cathartic explosion of the song's decadence, but makes the song slightly softer, in short, it lacks a skeleton. But even so, the basic equipment of melody and lyrics can still be clearly felt, and Neil and Pedro are both knowledgeable people, and they can't help but give a standing ovation to express their admiration for Hugo.

But there were people in the bar who were not satisfied, "Hugo, find a drummer!" You're ruining a good song like this. "Obviously, these people know music, and they point out the crux of the problem at once.

Hugo laughed and replied in a loud voice, "If you tell me that anyone who wants to join our little band that has no name and no proof of strength, I will invite him at once." By the way, no salary!"

Hugo's honesty drew laughter from the entire bar.

Sitting back in the booth, Pedro's excitement was clearly written on his face, and he looked like he was jumping and "wanting" to try, "Hugo, if you add bass and drums, what is the effect of the whole piece?"

The relatively calm Neil also looked at Hugo expectantly, he had already begun to compose the full version of the band in his mind at this time, Neil is a professional musician, and his understanding of music is obviously very good, so even if Hugo didn't say it, he can rely on the impression just now to complete it in his mind.

Although Hugo has received a lot of musical praise in the past few months, after experiencing the lessons of the Golden Globes, the most important thing is the experience of the underground rock circle in the previous ten years, Hugo knows that he still has a lot to learn, so Hugo will not be complacent, he is confident but not arrogant, in the face of these praises, Hugo did not seem too 'excited', but said seriously, "When our band has a drummer, you can know the answer." ”

Speaking of this, Hugo opened his mouth again and added, "Actually, I originally thought that Fokine was such a good drummer, and it would be great if he could join......

"Fokin? If it's Fokine, that's the best!" Pedro's eyes widened and he sighed, "Fokine doesn't have to say anything about his skills or character. You don't know, in fact, in the past year, there have been several arguments, and once they even joined the police en masse. Bureau, stayed in it for a week before coming out. Fokine's teammates were not very good, but they always boasted that they deserved more attention, and there were several clashes back and forth. ”

This is a fact that Hugo does not know, and Neil seems very unfamiliar, obviously not paying much attention to these gossip. "Many bands coveted Fokine as a 'good' drummer, but Fokine refused, he felt that he still couldn't give up a new day. Fujin's righteousness towards his friends is really commendable. Pedro said, giving a thumbs up.

"Hehe, even if Fujin is leaving for a new day, he probably won't join us, he can have a better choice." Hugo let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

Pedro looked unconvinced, "What do you mean! Our band is also very 'good', not only you, Neil is also a well-known guitarist in the circle! I...... I'm definitely going to be the best bassist in the future. ”

"Yes...... Future! Neil said in a long voice next to him, which made Pedro, who had no confidence, directly dumb up, causing Hugo to laugh. "Actually, I don't think it's a rush to find a drummer and keyboardist, the three of us are forming a band just for fun, just for music. Rather than technology and fame, it's the common discourse that matters. ”

Hugo also nodded in acknowledgement of this, "How many great bands have been disbanded because of internal disputes, and the process of band members uniting together and working towards a goal is obviously much more precious than achieving results." "Everyone aspires to success, and Hugo will not deny it, and the same is true of glory to death. But if you have to sacrifice the friendship between friends in order to succeed, Hugo disdains it. Glory to death is unknown for ten years, but this process of struggle cannot be exchanged for magnesium lights.

Pedro hadn't spoken yet, but he found that Neil and Hugo's eyes were actually on him, and he hurriedly raised his hands to make a surrender gesture, "Don't look at me, I agree with it." Otherwise, the 'sexual' band before me had a drummer and keyboardist, and I would have recommended it to you a long time ago. I just didn't want that, so I didn't mention it. ”

"If Fokine wants to come, I don't have a problem." Pedro muttered under his breath, causing Hugo and Neil to laugh and cry.

"Got it, Hugo and I both remembered one of your affirmative votes, and if Fortin comes, we will sue him as soon as possible." Neil teased with a smile, leaving Pedro's bronzed skin with a faint blush that couldn't be seen clearly.

Hugo sat next to him and couldn't help but say, "Pepe, then you should hurry up and practice your technique, otherwise after Faucin joins the band, he won't agree to you stay in the band, so what should I do?"

"Hugo!" Pedro obviously couldn't believe that Hugo actually teased himself together, shouted angrily, and then muttered angrily, "I'm very 'colorful', I'm already very 'colorful'!" Looking at the boyish Pedro, Hugo and Neil snickered unscrupulously.

At this moment, the brick in Hugo's pants pocket rang, Hugo is very sensitive to the ringtone of mobile phones, after all, after the twenty-first century, almost everyone has a mobile phone, he took out his mobile phone, but he couldn't see the caller ID, he could only gesture to Pedro and Neil, and then he picked up the phone, "Hello, this is Hugo." ”

"Hugo...... I...... Cracking sound...... You...... Crackling......" The voice on the other end of the phone was intermittent, and the signal was so bad that Hugo had to cover his left ear, then stood up and headed for the window, and asked again, "Who's there?"

"Green! Green One Hill!" This time, the voice finally became clear.

"Oh, Green. Long time no see, what's the matter?" Hugo realized that he was talking a little too loudly, and he had to look back and smile and apologize to the other guests at the bar, but everyone was obviously used to it, and the brick signal at this time was really not very good.

"I have something to do with you, do you have time?" Green also walked to an open place, and the voice was transmitted clearly.

"Do you mean today or ......" Hugo was only halfway through his words, and Green said again and again, "Today, today" "Oh, then I have time, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Well, where are you now, I'll meet you directly." Green hesitated for a moment, then asked.

Hugo looked at Neil and Pedro, who were looking at him, suspiciously, "I'm at Al Bar." ”

"Great! I'll rush back now, wait for me, thirty minutes, no, twenty minutes. Green finished anxiously, then hurriedly said "I'll see you later" and hung up the phone. Hugo looked at his phone with a blank expression.

"What's wrong?" Pedro asked curiously.

Hugo put the brick on top of the New York Times and sat down, "Green said he was looking for me, but he didn't know what it was, and he was coming over now and needed an interview." ”

"Green?" Pedro and Neil both looked surprised, and they couldn't imagine that Green would have anything to help Hugo, "Does Green want us to perform on stage at the next rock night?" Pedro guessed excitedly.

"Where's the drummer?" Neil's one sentence extinguished Pedro's enthusiasm, which is clearly an unreliable guess. Pedro immediately retreated.

Hugo was very relaxed, "Whatever, when Green arrives, won't he know?" He said he would come right away. Both Pedro and Neil nodded suspiciously, but didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Green was looking for help from Hugo, not them, "Do you know any like-minded friends, drummers or keyboardists?" Isn't there any news?"

In fact, Hugo and the others have been looking for drummers and keyboardists, but unfortunately they have not made much progress. Pedro shrugged helplessly, but Neil said, "I had two candidates before, but I went to the interview to see it in person, and I felt that there was still a gap in strength, so I didn't mention it to you." Anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, so let's take our time, maybe when the time comes, it will be solved at once?"

"Like the three of us?" Pedro happily answered.

This time Neil didn't contradict him again, but smiled and nodded, "Yes, just like the three of us." ”
