025 Chase your dreams
On the way back from Universal Studios, there was silence all the way, neither of them spoke, Joseph drove intently, and Hugo leaned on the side of the car window, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.
Palm trees, billboards, bushes cast reflections in his eyes, and the sunlight overhead pierced the cloudless blue sky and sprinkled the entire city of angels, covering every object in his sight with a golden veil, the dazzling color made the vision blurry and dazzling, but Hugo was reluctant to close his eyes, he looked greedily at the scenery in front of him, trying to find a trace of the city shadow in his memory from this strange world, in a trance, he did have such an illusion, thinking that he was still three. Driving down the boulevard of the palms in Asia, the bandleader was on their way to a small show, and in the back seat they could even hear someone's nasty snoring shuttling back and forth amid the roar of the engine.
At the age of fourteen, Hugo watched a movie called "Cinémathèque Paradiso" (Nuovo. ema。 Paradiso), he was moved by the phrase "If you don't go out and walk, you'll think it's the whole world", and he realizes that chasing your dreams is the most important thing.
So Hugo put into practice his musical dream of listening to the Beatles and Oasis at the age of ten, and he formed a band with a group of like-minded friends who didn't even have a proper name at first, but that didn't stop them from loving music. Originally, I thought it was just a whim of the children, but unexpectedly, they were self-taught, and they actually made some fame, and even began to learn to create by themselves in ignorance.
On the band's first anniversary, Hugo gave the band a name called Death. lory), the name is actually derived from Japanese manga, which contains the dreams and desires of their youthful frivolity. With the name, the band is not just satisfied with entertaining themselves, they want to be able to go out and perform, and they want to be able to put the band on the real stage.
In fact, they succeeded, winning a full house at the school's New Year's party – and even though they weren't performing songs they wrote, the accomplishment was still something that all five members of the band remembered. And so a stronger desire was born: they wanted to go out and participate in all kinds of performances, to become a real band. Such a desire is so powerful that they even do not hesitate to fight against their families.
Hugo's personality is actually not ostentatious or rebellious, before he founded the band, he was a typical representative of excellent students, which also made his parents even more unable to understand his dedication to the band. It's inconceivable enough to start a band, but at the age of fifteen, how could their parents agree to give them up their studies and play a band? This is naturally impossible.
The outcome of the story is clear, the five members of the band who died in glory have all left home - including the well-behaved Hugo, who has become a member of the huge underground rock music in China, and this time away, it will be ten years. The passage of time seems to be only a moment. Later, Hugo arrived here.
If someone asks Hugo, do you regret it? Hugo may have answered "no", but he couldn't hide the bitterness in his smile.
Although the process of pursuing his music dream is hard, this qiē is worth it, even if it is worth the ten years of effort, when everyone else is studying on campus, he has already found his goal, and began to fight for his life goal, such a life is so wonderful, so beautiful and so unforgettable. So, Hugo has no regrets.
As it is said in "How Steel is Made": the most precious thing about man is life: it is given to us only once. A man's life should be spent in such a way that, when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor be ashamed of his inaction; So that when he was dying, he would be able to say: I have devoted my whole life and all my energies to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the emancipation of mankind.
Of course, Hugo was not so great, he fought for all mankind, he just dedicated his whole life and all his energy to his dreams.
It's just that the price of chasing his dreams is too great, not that life is hard, nor that the future is long, but that he has failed to live up to his parents' hopes. Hugo went against his parents' ardent hopes to embark on the road of music, although during the ten years, he has been trying to repair the relationship with his parents, but unfortunately with little success, especially his father, he has never been able to understand, let alone accept, which also makes Hugo drift all year round, this bitterness, only in the dead of night can be savored.
Closing his eyes, he could still see the grand scene of the Midi Rock Festival in his mind, and Hugo couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to stand on the stage with glory to death, and whether they would be closer to their dreams; After he crossed over, what happened to his bandmates, and what happened to his parents......
Hugo took a deep breath and tried to get himself out of this lost love, he had come to 1992, and there was no going back, focusing on the present was the most important thing.
The audition for "Smell a Woman" gave Hugo a lot of confidence, although it was not a breakthrough from music, but it has always been Hugo's dream to become an actor, the actor interprets the lives of different people on the big screen, bringing people joy, sadness, remembrance, pain and happiness, the charm of the movie is so wonderful and timeless, people can easily indulge in it.
Before the crossing, Hugo had made some progress in music, and receiving an invitation to the Midi Rock Festival was a huge opportunity, but in terms of film, Hugo did not get many opportunities, he could only learn acting skills through guò movies, and watched the shooting on the spot and imagined how he would perform in the position of the protagonist.
And now, Hugo has participated in the audition of two movies, although "River Love" ended in failure, but the progress of "Smelling Fragrance and Knowing Women" is very gratifying, even if Hugo has not yet won the role of Charlie, but it still makes Hugo believe that he is talented in acting, and his efforts over the years are not useless, which is the biggest good news after crossing over.
Looking out the window at the receding scenery, Hugo clearly realized that this is Los Angeles, this is Hollywood, and this is the center of world cinema. Here, the story of overnight success is constantly staged, and the bridges of one step to the sky are endless. Hugo doesn't want to become popular overnight, he just hopes that he can have more opportunities to realize his dreams, and that's enough, because for the rest of the road, he will rely on his own strength to the end!
"My vision is immense, I enjoy every day on the road ahead, and looking out the window means saying goodbye to the past and starting the journey today." Hugo hummed softly, conveying his inner feelings in the form of music, which is also what Hugo is best at.
Music is a wonderful thing, it is said that music has no borders, because it is composed of musical notes, through the lyrics to convey emotions, and finally by the singer's interpretation to make the emotions ferment. Therefore, this also makes music one of the most direct ways for human emotions to communicate, and every seemingly ordinary musical note will become a deep resonance after being pieced together according to the rhythm of emotion, which is really amazing.
After the establishment of Glory to Death, Hugo and his teammates have been studying music and teaching themselves to compose, of course, in the first few years they can only be regarded as a master, until they entered the underground rock music industry, it can be regarded as a real systematic learning. Hugo's musical talent is more in composition, on the contrary, his musical talent is very average, he has only learned the guitar so far, and he is not very good at playing, but in terms of music creation, he has improved very quickly.
However, it is a pity that Hugo's time to learn to compose is still too short, which also makes the music composed by Glory to Death is not of high quality, which constantly delays the time for them to break into fame. Today is the first time that Hugo has had inspiration in his head after crossing over, this inspiration is different from before, it seems to have a little more flash of spirituality, I don't know if it is because of the long-term precipitation that has produced a qualitative change or the shuttle of time and space has made the mind refreshed, so Hugo hummed directly.
Listening to the music escaping from Hugo's mouth, Joseph finally reacted, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Hugo, "What song is this?" Joseph couldn't hear the lyrics of the song clearly, because Hugo hummed it indistinctly, but the beauty of the melody grabbed his ears at once and aroused his curiosity.
Hugo turned his head and smiled, "I just wrote it myself." ”
Joseph's first reaction was to look at Hugo in surprise, and then Hugo realized that something was wrong: could it be that his predecessor was a music idiot? No way......
Just as Hugo was thinking about how to be round, he saw the road ahead in the corner of his eye, "Attention! You're driving! An angry roar suddenly made Joseph turn his head to look at the road in front of him, there was a truck driving in front of him, fortunately Hugo shouted fast, otherwise the distance was closer, it would be troublesome, Joseph hurriedly stepped on the brakes slightly, so that the speed of the car could be controlled.
It was at this time that Hugo finally came to his senses and explained, "It's boring to write and play." What, what do you think is good? ”
Joseph didn't turn his head this time, still looking at the road in front of him, "Yes, very good." It's just that I didn't know you had this talent before, so it was a bit of a surprise. ”
Hugo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it's good that he doesn't have a music idiot, otherwise it would be troublesome to explain, he smiled hehe, and pretended to joke lightly, "Then if I can't get a job as an actor, maybe I can still sing and seek a little income." Maybe one day I can release an album and become a singer! ”
"Cut. You still think you're John Lennon. Lennon). Joseph dismissively poured cold water on Hugo.
