Hugo sat on a high stool in the dining room, with the "Los Angeles Times" issue of two weeks ago in front of him, boringly flipping through it, with a large bowl in front of him, stacked full of breakfast cereals, Hugo put a mouthful into his mouth, when there was a knock on the door in the hall, and Samora walked over to open the door, Hugo did not raise his head, still carefully reading the list of nominees for the 51st Golden Globe Awards in the newspaper.

Although the list of nominees has been out for a while, Hugo has not read it carefully, and 1993 is obviously also a year full of masterpieces, "The Age of Innocence", "Piano Don't Love (the. piano)" are also very classic works, as well as Tom Hanks's famous "Philadelphia Story" and the famous "Blue, White, Red Trilogy Blue" (trois. couleurs: bleu)" and medium. "Farewell My Concubine" and "Wedding Banquet" on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, etc.

In fact, the global film market in the 90s was very prosperous, with commercial films in Hollywood, art films in Europe, and incense in Asia. The power of Hong Kong and Japan has made the entire film world show a prosperous situation, and masterpieces are frequently produced almost every year, this was the case in l992, the same was true in 1993, and the year l994, which had just kicked off, reached its peak.

"Why are you here...... Did Henry call you over...... I'm also ......", "I guess it's the publicity for the next period of time......", "Hugo's play is not almost finished, will it be a ...... for us to start touring" The gossip in the hall gradually approached the restaurant, and the visitor did not greet Hugo, he took out the cutlery from the kitchen, and then sat down at the dining table, took the breakfast cereal box in front of Hugo, and began to enjoy it.

Hugo saw the name "Happy Family" in the TV drama department of the Golden Globe Award nomination list, and although Alex was not able to get the nomination, it still made Hugo laugh, "Aha, Alex's series has been nominated, which is good news." ”

Hugo looked up, and then he saw that the restaurant was completely lively, Neil, Pedro and Alfonso were all sitting next to them, chatting while eating breakfast, Hugo put down the newspaper, "Why are you here?"

"I don't know, Henry asked us to come over, don't you want to shoot today?" Pedro took the initiative to explain.

Hugo shrugged, "The first scene starts at ten o'clock, and there is still a little time." "Vulgar" chose Los Angeles for all the filming locations, which is really convenient, "Samora, did Henry say he wanted to come?" Hugo asked, raising his voice towards the kitchen.

"Yes, he said it would be right away." Before Samora could finish speaking, she heard the door of the hall open again, and Samora had obviously not locked the door just now, and everyone looked away, and then saw Faucin walking over with his eyes rubbed.

Finding that everyone was looking at him, Fokine looked himself up and down to make sure that there was nothing unusual about him, so he didn't say anything, and walked straight to the restaurant, "Henry called you?" Hugo asked, confused.

Fokine nodded, "Twenty minutes ago, let me come downstairs." ”

Hugo turned his puzzled gaze to the others again, everyone nodded, and said that Henry called them up early in the morning and temporarily gathered them, which immediately made Hugo a little confused, if it was a regular activity of the band, it would definitely not be so sudden, "Could it be that Henry asked us to participate in the Grammy?"

The other people in the restaurant froze when they heard Hugo's words, "Won't you?" Alfonso hesitated and said, "Didn't Henry say that we would be free?"

"But this is the Grammy......" Pedro suddenly thought that Hugo's words were very likely, and couldn't help but hesitate, but before the words were spoken, he paused, and the band members fell silent.

"Hey, guys." The door of the hall opened again, and Henry still looked lazy, pacing in unhurriedly, but the expression on his face seemed to add some indescribable brilliance than usual, which made people can't help but look sideways.

Henry also noticed the different expressions on the faces of the band members, but he didn't mind hooking the corners of his mouth too much, "Everyone has arrived, it's good, I just have good news to inform everyone," Henry walked to the table, pulled out a magazine from the back pocket of his pants, and put it on the table, and then looked at the members of the Glory to Death, only to see five inexplicable faces, which made Henry a little frustrated, he tilted his shoulders, "Isn't there any of you who pay attention to Billboard Magazine?"

Compared with magazines such as "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter" in the film circle, the music circle pays more attention to it, and the professional music review of "Rolling Stone" and the weekly Billboard weekly magazine published by the weekly Billboard ranking have become the most mainstream magazines, as for independent magazines such as "Rotation" and "Alternative Choice", it depends on personal preferences.

However, Henry was not surprised, he pointed to the issue of "Billboard" magazine on the table with Mariah Carey as the cover, and the lazy smile on his face instantly bloomed, "Congratulations on winning this week's Billboard album chart!"

"Wow, really? Are you sure? This, that's great!" The voice was not from any of the members of Glory to Death, but from Samora, who had just come out of the kitchen, walked up to Henry in surprise, flipped through the magazine, and quickly found the position of the album chart, "Haha, 'Music Box' second, 'almost famous' first, hahahaha!" Then he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Henry looked at the calm expressions of the five members in front of him, and immediately felt a sense of frustration, it was such a rare billboard champion in the eyes of others, but the band did not react at all, which was really disappointing.

"Henry, you're going to wake us up early in the morning for this?" Fukin's frown was enough to kill a fly, and he was clearly unhappy with it.

"Fujin, you're already lucky, okay, I've come all the way down. The city drove over just to read a magazine. Alfonso called it resentment, "Henry, you can just make a phone call to us, really." ”

This...... It didn't seem to be the reaction that the band should have after winning the Billboard championship, Henry had always been calm and lazy, but at this time, he stood in place with a strong sense of frustration, and his facial expression was difficult to control for a while.

Seeing the 99-± Q knotted and depressed expression on Henry's face, Pedro finally couldn't help it, "Haha, I finally saw Henry's different appearance, well done!" Then Pedro stood up and high-fived Alfonso and Forkine respectively.

Neil also stood up hehehe, "Trade a Billboard champion for Henry's ugly, a good deal." Then he glanced at Hugo, tilted his head and said, "Looks like we're going to have to work harder and win a few more championships." The two men winked at each other and high-fived each other again.

At this time, the expression on Henry's face was truly wonderful, and all the emotions such as joy, surprise, stunned, and happiness surged up in an instant, which made Henry's usually calm and calm expression begin to crack in his eyes. At this moment, looking at the band members who finally released their love and laughter in front of him, Henry's heart began to surge, which made his throat blocked in an instant, and he couldn't say anything.

Henry never said anything about the past, and even though he knew that there were rumors of his past feud with Maria Kelly, he didn't say anything to the band. Because Henry knew that it was his personal vendetta and he didn't want the band members to carry that baggage.

But at the same time, Henry is also unwilling to trust his artist lightly, when Maria betrayed him and chose a better future, and even more ironically, Maria married Tommy Mottola last year, which made Henry a complete joke. This gave Henry the courage to regain his strength, for he knew that he could not just lose to Maria, but when he touched glory to death, he would not be able to regain all his trust.

And today, when he saw the glory to the death defeat Mariah Kelly to reach the top, it was not only a Billboard album chart, but also a turning point for him to leave the past and welcome the future, which proved to be his brilliant vision. So he lost control, and he couldn't wait to call the band members together to share the joy together, and the band members returned the favor with an even bigger surprise.

For the first time, Henry wanted to truly believe in the team of five men in front of him, that they could walk side by side.

Henry didn't know how to speak, he hadn't explained what had happened to Maria, and he didn't know how to explain it now, so he hesitated until the end, and a thousand words just turned into one sentence, "Thank you." But the words of thanks were so whispered that the glorious death in the midst of the cheers was not heard by the other team members, except Hugo, who was sitting next to Henry.

Henry noticed Hugo's gaze, and Hugo showed him a bright smile, without probing or pursuing, just pure joy and congratulations, and the smile on the corner of Henry's mouth was also outlined. Perhaps, happiness in the present moment is more important than defeating Maria to win the Billboard album chart, because the Billboard champion is now, but the team in front of you is the future

Winning the Billboard album chart top, which is naturally a great joy for glory to death, this is the best reward after all their hard work, and it is also the best counterattack to the Grammy's doubts and hesitation; As for the victory over Maria, it was just a prize, so the band members let loose their joy and celebrated the moment with laughter and shouting.

"Guys, this is just the beginning, let's try to see more. A champion? That's not enough. Hugo looked at the bright red color of the number one album chart in Billboard magazine and raised his voice.

"One more! One more! One more!" Everyone began to raise their voices and shout in unison, and even Henry couldn't help but abandon his usual laziness when he saw this scene, raised the index finger of his right hand, and kept shouting. This is indeed just the beginning.
