There was no audience around, Hugo thought about it, stopped Fokine, who was about to continue playing the drums, turned around, and looked at Pedro with a depressed face, Hugo originally wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he noticed that in fact, the expressions on the faces of Neil and Alfonso were obviously not very interested.

Hugo's gaze was on Fauquin, who was not a man accustomed to leaking his feelings, but at this time it could be seen that he was not satisfied with the situation just now.

Standing in place, Hugo couldn't help but think, in fact, no one was satisfied with the situation just now, including himself, after all, any performance must have the participation and interaction of the audience to be established, otherwise what is the difference between standing on the street and performing in his own bathroom?

This is especially true for rock bands, where the audience's response is the nourishment for the band's growth and the catalyst for the band's performance. There were only three people in the audience just now, which was indeed a very frustrating situation, and it also made people unable to afford to be 'spirited' into the performance.

Pedro is inherently outgoing and susceptible to outside influences, and this was the case in Los Angeles, where if there is a large crowd cheering and shouting, Pedro's performance will go crazy and show a super high standard, and vice versa. Even Fokine has such a relationship, let alone Pedro.

According to common sense, Fokine should have enough receptivity for today's situation, but Fokine forgot that this is San Francisco, not Los Angeles, although San Francisco is also a city where street performances are very prosperous, but the street performances here are more rich and diverse, and music has never been the only highlight on the streets, so even Fokine has not experienced such a situation.

Another point is that after this period of practice and performance, their hard work and hard work always hope to be recognized by the audience, they have been initially recognized in Los Angeles, but after coming to San Francisco, they have returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, which is really frustrating.

In fact, when Hugo saw that there were only three spectators at the scene, he also sighed in his heart, and it was even more regrettable that the number three was the number with the largest number of spectators in front of the glory to death in the past half an hour.

However, for Hugo, after the Golden Globe incident, his mentality has undergone a huge change, especially the 'exchange' with Catherine and Hepburn, "as long as there is a famous audience, I am willing to continue to perform......" The will brought a strong shock to Hugo, which made Hugo recall his career of underground rock and roll before crossing over.

In the previous decade, Hugo had experienced a variety of performances, and the performance of the three audience members was not a blow at all, and the most terrible scene was that there was a large group of people sitting in the audience, but everyone was talking to themselves and doing their own thing, and they were not enjoying the band performance at all, which was frustrating.

Therefore, when he saw that there were only three audience members at the scene just now, Hugo still controlled his feelings very well and did not affect the performance. Of the rest of the band, Pedro was the first to be affected, and in the final stages of the performance, Neil and Alfonso also played more or less problematicly, which is a situation that only occurs when the overall momentum is hit.

Thinking of this, Hugo pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Although there were not many people in the audience just now, there was no problem with our performance, except for the last song, 'Hing). Hugo's joke made Pedro laugh embarrassedly for the first time, "I think, I think we will encounter many situations like this in the future, after all, similar situations are not uncommon in the whole underground rock circle, are they?"

Everyone in this circle knows that for a rock band to succeed, strength is only one of the elements, luck and opportunity are indispensable, how many strong bands are buried forever in the so-called 'tide' current, and how many bands that have the strength to stand on the stage of 10,000 people can only stand in front of an audience of less than 30 people and sweat freely. So, as Hugo said, it's never uncommon for an audience to be sparse, even if it's not just three spectators, and it's possible for a single-digit audience to stop.

"So, we have to recognize that fact. Even if such a situation occurs, we must not be discouraged, we must do our best to win the audience; If, as Pedro had just done, there was a 'wave' because there were too few spectators, then the only three spectators would have to turn around and leave. Hugo's words made everyone chuckle again, and Pedro scratched his head even more embarrassedly, his performance just now was indeed very amateurish, and he blushed when he thought about it now.

"I heard a great actor tell me that even if there was only one audience, she would stick to the end." Hugo said this sentence, not only to 'motivate' himself, but also to 'motivate' his partners, sure enough, hearing this sentence, Pedro's love was immediately lit up, and the whole person looked at Hugo with anticipation.

This sentence has a different meaning for everyone, but for me, I think that as long as there is an audience member, it means that he likes your performance, then, you have to be responsible for this audience, you can't ignore him just because there is only one audience, otherwise the audience will leave. What's the difference between one viewer and 10,000 viewers? I think the difference between the size of the voice and the size of the stage lies in my own inner attitude. If you look at 10,000 viewers as 10,000 'one viewer', then there's no difference, because you need to be accountable to each audience; But if the number of the audience is quantified, so that there is a difference in the attitude of one's own performance, then whether it is 10,000 viewers or one audience, they will turn around and leave. ”

Hugo was standing in the crowded streets, and at this time no one stopped himself for the glory to death, and the indifference of the streets today made the band feel the reality. Without the enthusiasm of the audience, and without the pull of Hugo's huge popularity, Glory to Death is a nobody for many people, no one knows about this band, and no one wants to appreciate this band.

"As long as there is one audience member left, it means that at least one audience member is stopping for us to perform, and then we should let that audience cheer for us. So, I would keep performing until even the last member of the audience had turned away, and then I would say goodbye to the stage, go home, and stand in the bathroom to entertain myself. Hugo breathed a long sigh of relief and expressed all his thoughts.

Standing on the streets of San Francisco, looking at different teammates, but in a trance reminded Hugo of the excitement when he stood on the stage for the first time in his life, Hugo really wanted to be such a performer, and spent his whole life shining because of the stage, not for the nobility of art, just to show his talent, even if there is only one audience.

Hugo's words silenced all four of his teammates, who had been honored to death, and everyone was violently shaken, because they had all been more or less disappointed by the fact that there were only three in the audience.

Fokine was undoubtedly the most 'violent' of them all, and although he didn't make mistakes like Pedro or slack off at the last moments like Neil and Alfonso, Fokine's inner feelings were the ones he knew best, and it reminded him of one of the most important things, "Do you remember why our band chose this road tour?"

Fokine remembered the road tour on a new day, and the time when he and Hugo hit it off and decided to let Glory to Death embark on the road tour, for which Hugo even put aside his rising job as an actor while they were discouraged in the first city.

"Aren't we just planning to go through all kinds of stages, accumulate more experience, and then deal with any situation that may arise in the future and grow our strength?" Fokine is not a man of many words, so it is even more shocking for him to express his inner thoughts at this time, "Why do we know that the band will be successful in the future?" Why do we know that the band's performance in the future will be crowded? Of course not, so a situation like today's will definitely arise in the future, so what should we do then?"

Instead of answering, Fokine fell silent. Everyone else fell silent.

Neil let out a long breath, and he 'revealed' a shallow smile, "Don't forget how the five of us came together and why the band was formed. ”

Music. This is the only reason why Glory to Death gathers together, as Hugo said, as long as there is still an audience member who is willing to appreciate their music, they should do their best to perform, to thank this soulmate for their support of their music, this is the essence of the performance, and it should also be the core idea of Glory to Death.

Glory until death (death. lory), their band's name contains such a meaning, but today, in front of three audiences, they did not achieve "glory" but chose "death" The lifeless bad performance simply smashed the band's signboard.

Although Neil only said one word, it woke everyone up, could it be that the little performance during Los Angeles made the band lose its direction?

Pedro was so guilty that he was the first to say, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm really sorry." "Pedro didn't explain, he knew that as a bass player in the band is important 'sex', and he took the lead in dropping the chain, this is a blow to the band to ruin miè'sex', at this moment, he no longer has the mind to joke, just to reflect on his inner impetuousness.

"I'm sorry, I made a chord mistake a few times." Alfonso also put away his smile and officially apologized.

"And me." Neil also took the initiative to apologize, "I'm sorry, I just dragged everyone down. ”

Seeing that everyone fell silent, the morale of the band was very low, Hugo couldn't help but 'show' a smile, "Don't be so disappointed, there were at least three audience members just now, not one, this is our success, isn't it?"

"Three ......," Neil repeated speechlessly, but he felt more and more joyful, and laughed out loud, then Alfonso, then Fokin, and finally Pedro looked at everyone, and the smile on his lips also raised.
