093 Accidental discovery
When the guitar strings in Hugo's hand stopped, he found that there were a lot of people gathered around, and everyone locked their eyes on Hugo, with a look of inquiry and curiosity, Hugo couldn't help laughing, "Did I affect everyone's meal?" β
"Oh no, Hugo, we're all enjoying our high school prom." Speaking was the assistant director of the crew, Frank Capra. capra), with a happy smile on his face, and winked at Hugo, "It's just a pity that this time is too short, and there is no follow-up?" β
Being teased like this, Hugo couldn't help laughing, "Are my parents here at today's ball?" Hugo's words obviously have a lot of deep meanings worth playing. Hugo is hinting that the onlookers are all parents who are supervising their children, and to put it bluntly, "you light bulbs can leave".
Hugo's words were not difficult to understand, and the staff immediately laughed, not giving Hugo face at all. Obviously, after adjusting the mentality towards Hugo, the staff got along with Hugo much more easily and casually, they not only watched, but also looked at Hugo with curious and playful eyes, and after Hugo's jokes came out, they did not hesitate to start coaxing, this kind of harmonious and comfortable atmosphere was absolutely not seen two weeks ago.
"Hugo, Encore, Encore!" There were a few staff members who usually had a good relationship with Hugo and even started to make trouble directly.
Hugo did not speak, but raised his right hand and rubbed his index and middle fingers with his thumb in the air, the subtext of which was: This is not a concert, please pay for Encore.
Seeing Hugo's action, someone shouted directly, "Fifty cents." Before the laughter could start, Hugo raised his voice and replied, "A thousand? "Suppressed all the ridicule directly. Frank also took the opportunity to say, "Everyone is getting ready, and filming is about to begin." The crowd dispersed, and Frank winked at Hugo and walked away.
After this brief moment of joy, Hugo withdrew his gaze and looked at Uma sitting across from him, "How is it, are you still satisfied with this gift?" β
Uma obviously still had a smile on her face, but she restrained her smile, raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips, and seemed to look disdainful, "Uh, it's okay." But after the words were finished, the smile between her eyebrows overflowed, and her whole face brightened, "Of course I am satisfied, do you still need me to say?" God, you're such a superb guitarist, this song almost brought me to tears. Uma's exaggerated expression made Hugo laugh.
"Did you write this song yourself?" Uma looked at Hugo with obvious interest.
Hugo hurriedly raised his hands, "Little Parker will be angry when he hears it." β
Uma immediately understood, the pair of brightly colored eyes were slightly raised, and the fresh and lovely eyes were charming in an instant, "Then I'll rest assured, I'm worried that this is specially created for me by you, that's not good." At this time, Uma was completely relaxed, his right hand was on the dressing table to support his head, and the ponytail that was combed into a handful hung down, giving the youthful and energetic Uma a touch of little woman's style.
Hugo looked at the reflection of himself in Uma's eyes and couldn't help laughing, "Then it depends on whether you have a ghost in your heart." An inexplicable teasing made the smile on the corner of Uma's mouth suddenly bloom, and the teasing between the eyebrows made Hugo suddenly think of that hot night again, how could Hugo not understand such an obvious hint.
But at this time, Uma suddenly closed her gaze, as if there was no zΓ i in the qiΔ that happened just now, "Then let's look forward to the next meeting and see what kind of situation it will be." The song that Hugo sang just now is called "The next time you meet me, things will be different", so Uma also said this, which seems to be meaningful.
After saying that, Uma sat up straight, "I see that the crew is about to start working, so let's end here today." Uma stood up, but her eyes were locked on Hugo, and she also watched Hugo slowly stand up, from looking down to looking up, looking up at the tall and slender man in front of her, the smile on the corner of her mouth was mysterious and deep, "We got along very happily today, and I also had unexpected surprises, I think, I have begun to look forward to the next meeting." β
Hugo thought for a moment and stretched out his right hand, "Today is also a very good experience for me, at least I have found a beautiful audience." Although Hugo didn't say it, Uma was his first friend to visit the class since filming, and this experience is bound to become a special memory in his career as an actor.
Uma held Hugo's right hand, but did not shake it, but pulled it hard, as if trying to pull Hugo into her arms, but Hugo's big man was not something that Uma could move, so Uma leaned forward and crashed directly into Hugo's arms. But Uma didn't mind, so she took the opportunity to give Hugo a hug, "Shake hands, too gentleman and too ladylike, I don't think you and I are suitable." β
Uma's bold and direct words made Hugo laugh, "As long as you don't mind......"
After Hugo escorted Uma out of the set, a few staff members who had a good relationship with Hugo immediately gossiped around, "Hugo, are you really dating Uma?" The premiere of "The Last Analysis" was not long ago, and the scandal brought about by Hugo and Uma's earth-shattering kiss has not been forgotten.
This gossip made Hugo cry and laugh, but fortunately, Rob appeared in time to relieve Hugo, "Hurry up and prepare, filming is about to start!" The crowd surrounding Hugo immediately dispersed, and after seeing the back of everyone leaving, Rob walked to Hugo's side with a smile on his face, and walked side by side with Hugo, "What's the name of the song you just performed?" β
"Little Parker's 'Next time you meet me. youγ seeγ meοΌβγ Hugo replied casually, without thinking much about it, "I just sang and played by myself." β
"I didn't expect you to have such a great singing talent, which fascinated many of our female staff," Robert paused after speaking, "and men." Let Hugo laugh directly, "You are just singing and playing, and you are so good, which is much more surprising than your acting skills." β
Hugo waved his hand again and again, "Rob, this song just now is jazz, I use the guitar to interpret it, but there is no essence of the original song, you should really listen to the original version of Little Parker." In fact, Hugo is not humble, but more about lack of confidence. In the past, he was just a guitarist until he died, not the lead singer, so he was full of confidence when it came to playing, but he still lacked a little confidence when it came to singing.
Rob didn't know the trickiness of this, he only thought that Hugo was modest, "Hehe, Hugo, I don't need to listen to the original, what I need is your interpretation." Youthful, energetic, moving, lingering, that's enough. Rob's words made Hugo not know how to respond, and Hugo noticed that Rob didn't seem to be just chatting with himself.
"Rob, you're making me wonder." Hugo said directly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, full of puzzlement and questions, "Are you enjoying my performance just now, or is there something else?" β
Rob looked at Hugo and didn't go around in circles again, "Here's the thing, the other day we worked with the film soundtrack artist Mark Sch Eyman (Mac. Shaiman ended' nuns are also crazy (sister. act)'s soundtrack, he watched two-thirds of the films we've finished filming so far, and started the early stage of the soundtrack. But he hasn't had a good idea for the theme song, which is also a headache. β
Movie soundtrack? Hugo really didn't expect Rob to bring it up.
"I just heard you sing, that kind of retro jazz style, and at the same time be endowed with youthful vitality, which is really rare. I was wondering if you could remake and interpret the song the way you did, and give it to Mark to see if it could be the theme song for the movie. Rob didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
Hugo thought for a moment, "But, firstly, I'm not a professional, and I'm not sure if I have the ability; Second, the style of this song just now doesn't fit well with our movie, I thought you would choose more imposing music as the theme song, and the lyrics of this song ...... There is no way to be consistent with the theme. β
Rob laughed, "That's why I said, you make zuΓ² out, I'll give it to Mark to see if it's suitable." If it's not suitable, there's no way around it; But maybe it works well, and you can try something completely new. Looking at Hugo's thoughtful expression, Rob explained, "I was going to put the theme song at the end of the movie, after the passionate music, with a meaningful melody to precipitate the love, the lyrics of this song just now are actually just right, and the style is also very satisfying to me." β
In fact, as far as Hugo himself is concerned, this inexplicable opportunity is naturally unwanted. Before that, Hugo never ventured to try his hand at music, because he had not been able to achieve results in the position of actor, and although he has made a breakthrough in acting skills now, it is still unknown until the film is released and successful. Under these circumstances, it is simply unrealistic to venture into music.
But today, the opportunity appeared without warning, and in a way that Hugo had not expected, which was a real surprise.
Hugo's pursuit of music has never changed, so how could he be willing to miss such an opportunity? As Rob said, I don't know if it's suitable yet, but I'll be able to know after trying it, right?
It's not Hugo's style to give up without trying, so Hugo quickly gave his reply, "Why not?" I'd love to give it a try. But I must state that don't expect too much, I don't guarantee the quality of the finished product. β
"As long as you can handle it yourself." Rob wittily fought back, which made Hugo stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily.
