Adam was not the type of warm and affectionate, although he talked to Hugo about it, and Hugo did not have the collapse or rebellion he feared, on the contrary, Hugo had grown strong enough to bear the truth of the facts, which made Adam very happy; But Adam still didn't want to sit down with Hugo and enjoy any father-son moments, on the one hand, he didn't know what to do, and on the other hand, it was too pretentious, not Adam's style.

So Adam took Hugo to Taylor's house for dinner at noon, Old Jack and his wife Molly warmly welcomed the Lancaster father and son, and Little Jack and his wife Michelle were even more emotional, for them, Hugo was not only Adam's son, but also a movie star, which made the family seem lively.

Most of the time, Hugo was chatting with Molly and Michelle, and Adam and Old Jack just sat by and listened quietly.

When everyone learned that Hugo was currently on a road tour, they couldn't help but marvel at the fact that for those of them who lived quietly in small towns, it would have been a big deal to cross the United States, and Hugo also performed in every city with a band, which was even more impressive.

Adam looked at his son who was now bright between his eyebrows, and his heart was very satisfied, although he had been suffering for the past ten years, but now his son has really grown up, with responsibility, dreams and courage, which made Adam finally breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, he has been worried that Hugo's life has been ruined because of himself, he is really not a competent father, but fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen

Hugo was happily chatting with Molly about the funny things that happened yesterday when he sang on the streets of Cheyenne, but he noticed a warm gaze and turned to look at Adam. Adam immediately looked away, panickedly avoiding his own eyes, old Jack noticed the embarrassment of his old friend, picked up the cigarette case and handed it to Adam, Adam's outstretched hand stayed in the air, and finally took it back.

If Adam had known, the son he had been thinking of was already poisonous. Pin left this world, what a cruel blow it must have been for Adam. Hugo thought.

Although Adam is only Lancaster's father, now that Hugo is Lancaster, he has missed his share of family affection, and he will not miss this again. He will take good care of this hard-won family affection, and then take firm steps towards the future.

This is the first time that Hugo really feels that Lancaster is himself, and he is Lancaster, and all the confusion and panic in his heart have gradually calmed down. Looking at Adam's stiff face, looking at the enthusiastic faces of Taylor's family, thinking about Joseph and Carl's group of friends, thinking about Forkine and Neil's group of band mates, Hugo got unprecedented peace.

The Taylors dropped the Lancaster father and son to the gas station at the intersection of the town, and then the old Jack wife left first, while little Jack drove and waited at the 'gate' of the Chase family ranch not far away, ready to send Hugo to Cheyenne City. Hugo looked back at his father, who had become agitated from not smoking for several hours, and said, "I can stay here tonight." ”

"I don't have your room at home, and I have to clean it temporarily, which is too troublesome." Adam waved his hand angrily and refused, wishing that Hugo would leave quickly.

Hugo smiled dumbly, "Then I'll call you in advance before I come back next time." ”

"Your band friends are waiting for you, why so much nonsense, let's go." Adam still didn't want to look at Hugo, but 'sticked' his hands in his pockets, restrained his trembling hands from the onset of smoking, and said roughly.

"Little Jack said, you have been coughing, remember to go to the hospital, and, 'smoke' less." Hugo was only halfway through his sentence when Adam glared at him viciously, as if to say: If you talk about it again, I'm going to lose my temper, Hugo could only shake his head, "Then I'll go." ”

Hugo didn't say anything more, and walked towards Little Jack's car, but Adam's hesitant voice suddenly came from behind him, "Lack of money?" ”

Hugo stopped, turned back to his father and smiled, "You should check the box office of my most recent movie." Adam's stunned expression made Hugo laugh, "I'm not short of money, your son has earned the first 10 million in his life, if you are short of money, you can tell me." ”

Looking at Hugo's triumphant expression, Adam pulled down his face and said impatiently, "It's up to you to squander, it won't be long before you come to me to borrow money." Let's go, little Jack has to go to work in the afternoon, when are you going to procrastinate? ”

Hugo didn't say anything more, waved at Adam, and then turned and got into Little Jack's car. Little Jack started the car, and Hugo saw in the rearview mirror that Adam was standing there like this, motionless, until Adam disappeared from sight, and he didn't move, he just stood quietly and watched himself leave. At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Hugo's mouth, he finally had a home, and in the United States in the early nineties, he also found a place to call "home".

Back in Cheyenne, Hugo said goodbye to little Jack at the 'door' of the motel, and then saw the band mates chatting in the parking lot, they all gathered around the car, giggling and laughing, and when Hugo returned, Pedro was the first to wave his hands excitedly.

When Hugo walked in, Neil asked, "Where's lunch, is it settled?" ”

"Of course, it's almost two o'clock." Hugo shrugged, "What about you guys, how is the rodeo?" ”

"Cut, there is no game in the morning, and it won't start until the afternoon, which is really disappointing." Pedro was the first to shout, but the others ignored his complaints, and Fokine just said, "Then get in the car and get ready to go." It's more than 100 miles from here to Denver. ”

No one asked Hugo what happened to him when he returned home, but Hugo could feel the kindness and friendliness from his teammates, who were still worried about themselves, but they didn't ask out of respect and privacy. Hugo smiled and took the initiative to say, "I had lunch with my father at noon, it was very pleasant, maybe there will be a surprise in this afternoon's performance." ”

Looking at Hugo's heartfelt relaxation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this trip home was still very worthwhile, Pedro jumped even more excitedly, "Let's go, let's set off towards the 'female' royal city on the grassland" This excited voice is obviously more relaxed than just now

It's only two o'clock now, and if they get to Denver by four o'clock, they can find a place to perform and start performing right away, so the whole band is in high spirits.

After the big stone that had been pressing on my heart for more than a year was put down, the whole person relaxed, and the brilliant melody in my mind bloomed proudly among the mountains and forests of Wyoming that day, and the gorgeous notes drifted away in the wind, and the surging feelings in Hugo's heart were quietly mixed into the beautiful melody, and then turned into a song.

"Watch the world in all its colours, see the mysterious Orient unfold in view, watch the canyon destroyed by dark clouds, watch the schools of tuna hollow out the sea, watch the nomadic Arabs light bonfires, watch the oil fields burn, watch the birds soaring with olive branches. After the catastrophe is a plate of 'chaos' splendor......

This is not only a little realization today, but also a condensed scene in my mind along the way, outlining a magnificent scene of 'waves' in my thoughts, the desert outside Las Vegas, the yellow sand is all over the sky; The mountains between Cheyenne and the city are lined with trees; San Francisco's culture is full of diversity...... The wonder of nature, the greatness of human beings, in an instant, changed into thousands of scenes, rushed back in the mind, and finally turned into the pale and weak words, hoping to be combined in the melody to burst out a more perfect effect.

Hugo couldn't help but compare this little lyric with the original song "beamtiful. day)" together. "A good day" Hugo has been writing the song for a long, long time, and the melody has basically been written, but the lyrics have never been able to create a match, and today this paragraph of lyrics and melody has an indescribable resonance, Hugo tried to fit together, and then ...... It worked

"It used to be a good day, don't miss it, a good day, touch me, take me to that place, catch me, I know there is still hope for me. What you don't have is not needed now, what you don't understand will eventually feel that what you don't have is not needed now, you don't need it now, it's a beautiful day"

The melody and lyrics that gradually spread in the wind, sunshine, mountains, and flowing water are perfectly combined, and the turbulent feelings in the heart have evolved into music. But Hugo realized that this song is not just about a "good day", maybe the starting point is just about a good day, but the lyrics he wrote just now have raised the momentum of the whole song to more than one level, which also makes the connotation of this song reach a new level.

Hugo found that he unconsciously seemed to have made another breakthrough in music creation, but this is still a bit vague, because the artistic conception of the song "A Beautiful Day" is too grand and profound, and he has now completed the creation of the chorus, but the lyrics of the main song still do not have enough thoughts

Music creation is really a very magical thing, he is not only the embodiment of the mood, but also the creator's understanding of life, outlook on life, a carrier of world view values, which is similar to the idea of a rock band, a really good rock band often has a soul, anti-war, catharsis, rebellion, no government, etc., and the same is true of music, only music that really has a soul can be called art, otherwise it can only be entertainment.

Hugo seems to have opened a new big 'door', glimpsed a ray of light from another world, but it is enough to make him breathtaking, maybe he has no way to enter this world now, but who knows what will happen in the future? It was a great day.
