352 Street Testing

Pedro is not stupid, he just didn't react for a while, but when Hugo and Alfonso made trouble, he quickly understood and couldn't help rolling his eyes. But when I think about it carefully, those reporters did croak like crows, which also made Pedro laugh out loud, and also "croaked" to learn to crows, but this trouble made the depression caused by the reporters' siege just now disappear.

"Hugo, what if these reporters bother you again?" Neil had a smile on his face, too, but he was a little more thoughtful.

Hugo pursed his lips, "Just ignore it." I've already given them the answers they wanted, so I don't want to have anything to do with them next. "What's more, Uma's hype, he doesn't want to cooperate at all.

In fact, thinking about Uma's remarks this time, Hugo couldn't help but feel a little funny, Uma was so nonsense in order to make herself jump out and refute, or did she really think like this in her heart: The breakdown of the relationship between the two of them is really Hugo's fault! However, Hugo thinks that it should be the former, and Uma is a clever 'woman' who knows what she wants, so she will deliberately make up this unreliable lie to 'provoke' herself.

It's just, in retrospect, how many things were lies, during the time when two people were dating? The visit during the filming, the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng", and the 'wave' dinner that moved him...... It's a ridiculous thing, when a relationship is filled with lies, then what's real in life?

"Your love is just a lie, nothing but a lie!" Hugo hummed softly, with a playful 'kiss', but at this time Hugo didn't care in his heart, but felt that Uma had destroyed the last bit of good things in that memory, which was really sad and ridiculous. Hugo didn't regret it, but he was a little curious about what kind of psychology Uma started this hype, but he wouldn't ask for the answer because he didn't want to know.

The vicinity of Al Bar is full of all kinds of rock bands, and the warehouse behind it is the base for many bands to practice all year round, so standing on the street, you can see many veterans of the underground rock circle in Los Angeles, which has also become the most "colorful" scenery in the poor street.

But it's a pity that most of the reporters guarding near the Al Bar today are film reporters, and they really know a little bit about music, not to mention that these are underground rock people, and they are even more unfamiliar to reporters, so this scenery has no meaning for them, and I have to say that it is a pity.

But even so, six reporters remained in place, among which James Rattle, a reporter for "America Weekly", arrived later, and he missed the moment when the reporters surrounded Hugo, but he saw Anthony Stewart turn away, which made James alarm bells. Contrary to Anthony, James, as a paparazzi, has a good impression of Hugo, although he is also responsible for digging up gossip, but he is more willing to report Hugo's positive image, not only because such news can also sell, but also because James is willing to believe Hugo.

For example, in the case of Uma's revelations, aside from the fact that there is no substantive 'sexual' evidence at all in the content of Uma's revelations, look at Hugo's first reaction to know that what Uma said is not necessarily true. And James also heard from his peers about Hugo's reaction just now, which confirmed James's idea even more. So, looking at the back of Anthony leaving triumphantly, James chose to stay, he still wanted to see how things went, and if possible, he was willing to defend Hugo.

James has been here for more than five hours, and the waiting team of six people has shrunk to four, and the band's practice is likely to be a whole day, or even all night, Hugo and others entered the warehouse to practice from morning to afternoon, and still did not come out, which is really normal, but James still does not want to leave, he still wants to wait and see. In fact, in the past, in order to keep a piece of news, I stayed for more than 20 hours, this kind of Cheng dΓΉ is nothing at all, and one of the most important elements of the paparazzi is patience, second only to keen intuition.

At a quarter past two o'clock, the warehouse 'door' opened, Hugo walked out with a guitar on his back, a jazz drum in his hand, and a thick smile on his face, followed by those unfamiliar faces, five young people each carrying musical instruments, laughing and laughing, it can be seen that they are all in a good mood, and Hugo was not affected by the incident of the morning reporters at all.

The four reporters wanted to surround it, but seeing that there were five people on the other side, the balance of power was a little inappropriate, and the two taxis stopped at the 'door' of the Al Bar, they were all busy putting their instruments on the taxi, James was the first to react and ran to the place where he parked, and then the remaining three paparazzi also turned around and ran to their cars. It's no longer worth surging here, because Hugo will soon be in the car, so it's wisest to tailgrate.

The taxi drove all the way and soon stopped near Hollywood Boulevard, where five young men were approaching Highland with their musical instruments. ave) found an open space and placed all the instruments one by one, which could not have been more obvious, and Hugo and the others were going to perform on the street here. It's about 300 yards from the Chinese Theatre, a little away from the busiest area of street performers, but not too remote, making it a great location for newcomers.

The five young people of the band are busy, in Los Angeles and New York, if you want to perform on the street, you must apply for qualifications, not everyone can perform on the street, the patrol will check, only the performers registered in the city hall can stand on the street, which is also the norm for street performances. However, a long time ago, Neil and others were qualified to perform, so this is not a problem, but today is the first time the band has tested the waters, and the problems of sound and power supply have to be solved one by one, which makes the five people seem a little scrambling.

James and the others finally found a place to park, and it was not easy to find a suitable parking lot nearby, and when they came again, Hugo and the others were already ready, holding their respective instruments and debugging.

At this time, it is not yet three o'clock, it is the hottest time of the sun, although it is only the beginning of June, but the California sun still allows people to appreciate its powerful power, so there are not so many tourists on the streets, it is estimated that after another half an hour or an hour, you can see the lively scene of the streets.

The corner occupied by Hugo and others did not attract too much attention, and the tourists on the street did not realize that Hugo Lancaster was standing there preparing for the performance, and in their eyes they just saw a team preparing for the performance, so naturally there was no value in stopping.

James ran up quickly, hoping to get a sneak peek before the band started performing, and it would be more troublesome after the show started, and it would probably take a long time. The other three paparazzi apparently had the same idea and ran after him.

"Hey, Hugo!" James shouted first.

Hugo glanced back, recognized the other party, and waved his hand with a smile, "Hey, James, good afternoon." James was about to speak, but Hugo took the lead, "I'm not going to be interviewed at this time, I'm working." Hugo pointed to the instrument next to him, and then said with a determined look.

James stood in place with a depressed face and stopped talking, and several other reporters did not have James' scruples, so they directly asked, "Hugo, what do you mean by responding to Uma's remarks just now?" Don't you want to answer it head-on? ”

As a result, Hugo didn't even give a look, and went straight back to continue the discussion. The streets are very crowded and noisy, so the paparazzi's questions are just part of the noise, and there is no need to worry about it. This made the three paparazzi look very dissatisfied, one of them turned around and left, and the remaining two and James looked at each other, hesitated, and finally decided to stay and continue to guard, holding on to the only glimmer of hope.

"What? No, you must be kidding me. Hugo looked at Alfonso and said incredulously, but Alfonso looked serious, and Neil, Fokin, and Pedro next to him also looked serious, Hugo looked at the sky speechlessly, "Guys, that was just a casual song I just sang, and we only practiced it a few times, how could it be used as the first song of our street performance?" ”

"You also said that it was just a casual singing, and it is perfect as a warm-up work for opening your voice." Alfonso was the one who came up with the proposal, and he was naturally the most positive, "And now there aren't many spectators around, so wouldn't it be great that we can have a bit of fun and then slowly get into the groove?" ”

"Besides, isn't this song 'awesome' to fight back against the crows behind you?" Pedro said excitedly, and the whole person began to gear up.

Hugo couldn't help but laugh, "Neil, Fokine, you won't lose your mind too, will you?" I can't even remember the song just now, but I just sang it casually and played it, didn't everyone use it as a venting exercise? ”

"yes, then we'll play on the streets again." Neil shrugged and actually stood on Alfonso's side, which made Hugo very helpless. Hugo could only look at his last hope, Fokine.

Unexpectedly, Fujin said seriously, "I think this song is really suitable, suitable for your current mood, suitable for our current state, suitable for the group of crows behind you, and suitable for the 'female' person who is constantly hyped in the media." So, why not? ”

Seeing that Fokine solemnly expressed his opinion, Hugo laughed, he looked down and thought about it, and finally let out a long breath, "Yes, why not?" Then sing it out and have fun! ”
