Chapter 1322: Be Honest and Honest
Hugo quieted down and carefully organized his words, "For the past half a year, I have been absent from the band's activities and concentrated on the work of the actors, and I am sorry for this. ”
"Hugo......" Neil interrupted Hugo's words, his expression looking very mixed. In fact, in the band, Neil as the captain is not really a false position, Henry will discuss many things with Neil, including Hugo's situation, Neil also knows, although Fokin, Pedro, Alfonso are not very clear about the situation, but Neil knows Hugo's efforts in secret.
Therefore, Neil is very disappointed in Pedro's table today, so he will lose control and get started, but this is not Neil's usual character.
Hugo stopped Neil, and continued, "Actually, before the band was formed, we knew that there would be a day when my work as an actor and my work as an orchestra would inevitably conflict, and it was not so easy to be an all-round artist. Hugo's slightly ridiculous words eased the atmosphere in the room a little, but at this time he really couldn't laugh, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth helplessly, "It's just that we didn't expect that our work would go so smoothly, I mean, all the work ......"
"Snort", a chuckle came, but it was not Pedro, but the unexpected Fokine, who broke the stiffness in the room, and the atmosphere warmed up a little.
Whether it is Hugo or the other members of the Glory to Death, they could not have predicted the glory they have achieved today, whether it is Hugo's achievements as an actor or the musical achievements of Glory to Death, this qiē came too quickly and too incredible. Even though the band of Glory to Death itself is very stable, they are all ordinary people after all, and their mood will inevitably fluctuate.
Although it was only Pedro who broke out today, it doesn't mean that Neil and the three of them don't have any thoughts in their hearts, maybe they didn't complain at this time, but this situation has been going on, and it is unacceptable for anyone. Hugo thought about it from another perspective, if he was in a rock band, and one of the members said every day that they had other things to do, either absent from practice or performance, he would definitely not be satisfied, and such a member would be better to leave the band as soon as possible than waste everyone's time.
But the problem is that Hugo is a constant source of creation from glory to death, and the band may still be able to survive without Hugo, but it will not reach its current height. Therefore, if this goes on for a long time, the band members will inevitably be indignant in their hearts, wanting to be angry with Hugo, but they are not confident enough; Otherwise, as Pedro said, all the attention is locked on Hugo, they look like they are dispensable, and they gradually become Hugo's foil, then glory to death is no longer glory to death, but "Hugo and the four friends", which is another situation.
Such a future is not unfounded, but a real possibility. The band is called a band because all the members of the band are indispensable, and in this regard, Glory to Death is different from many rock bands.
This is the case with most rock bands, with the lead singer or creator as the core, and it doesn't matter if anyone else changes except for the core characters, and it is not surprising that the band's guitarist, bassist, or drummer changes frequently, and the most recent example is Nirvana.
On the surface, it seems that Hugo's survival has made the band, but on the contrary, Neil's focus, Fokin's composure, Pedro's vitality, Alfonso's versatility, these are also the necessary conditions for the success of Glory to Death, and most importantly, the passion and dedication of the five of them to music, which is the soul of Glory to Death. Indispensable.
So, the problems that erupted today are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and Hugo knows this deeply. It is actually a good thing that the contradiction has erupted now, and after communicating with each other and understanding each other, things can be resolved as much as possible. If you just let the problem continue to settle and continue to rot, the day it completely erupts, the situation will be out of control.
"We don't know what the future holds, but it's certain that we all want to continue to be successful, so in the future, my work as an actor and as a band will inevitably face a lot of conflicts, and I can't do it all." Hugo said honestly, and the words silenced the slightly relaxed atmosphere just now.
Neil wanted to say something, he wanted to say something in his heart, but in the face of what Hugo said, he didn't know what to say more correctly. As the captain of the glory to death, Neil naturally hopes that the band can develop more, even if it is not to release a new album, he also hopes that the band can hold a tour or something, and the stage belongs to the band. But a long tour meant that it would definitely clash with Hugo's actors. Neil does not deny this, nor can he deny it.
"But, believe me, I still have rock 'n' roll in my bones, I want to be on stage, I love to use music to communicate with the audience, music is ...... to me" Hugo paused at this point, as if trying to find an accurate word to describe it, but hesitated for a moment, but said softly, "Very important." It is just such a simple word, but it expresses the turbulence and firmness of Hugo's heart.
Maybe the members of the Glory to Death team don't know Hugo's experience, they don't know that Hugo once rolled underground for ten years, an incredible ten years, for an ethereal rock dream, but they can feel it from Hugo's creation, which is also the common denominator that brings the five members of Glory to Death together.
"So, I'm definitely going to allocate time to dedicate to the band, maybe next year, maybe the year after, but trust me, I've always wanted to be able to do a long tour, similar to the 'history' world tour that Michael is doing. It's my dream. Hugo said lightly.
But these words made everyone stunned, and Pedro, who had been surging in his heart, looked at Hugo in surprise, although Pedro had many plans for the future of the band, and he would not deny that the world tour was a piece of the blueprint, but he never knew that Hugo's dream was so grand. You know, Michael Jackson's "history" tour is the grandest, grandest, and most spectacular concert tour in the history of music - there is no one, this tour can almost be said to change people's understanding of concerts, and at the same time, it also pushed the glory of Michael's live concert performance to a new chapter.
Hugo, on the other hand, is thinking about the future of the band with Michael as the goal.
Pedro was stunned, and Neil was a little surprised, for he had never heard Henry say that Hugo had such an idea; Fokine looked at Hugo with hope, he knew that Hugo would surprise him again, which is why he was never in a hurry, because deep down, Foquin always knew that Hugo and him were the same kind of people, this is nature and essence, this is the part that will not change, even if it is broken.
"Regarding these parts, I think we can communicate slowly and plan slowly. Therefore, I don't accept Pepe's accusations against me, because I don't think I don't care about the life or death of the band, on the contrary, I, like you, will never forget that I am a member of the band. Although Hugo did not accuse Pedro, it can still be heard from these words that Pedro's words just now actually stung Hugo, and he still cares a little.
Even if there is 100% trust between friends, communication is still needed. What's more, this is a colorful entertainment industry. After several years of precipitation, Hugo knows this deeply.
"I think we just didn't communicate with each other, I didn't tell everyone what I thought, and it was my fault." Hugo spoke slowly, saying that he would not accept the accusation plainly, but he would not refuse to admit his mistake either.
"Hugo......" Neil opened his mouth, but did not continue, he was actually a little guilty, because as the captain, he should be the bridge between the whole team, and he knew Hugo's situation best, but he didn't notice the feelings of his teammates. Moreover, Neil was inevitably a little ashamed, because deep down in his heart, he may have also had a whisper about Hugo.
Neil propped his head with his hands in some chagrin, and for the first time Neil felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Because this is the first time he feels his own change, he is not the young man who had dreams and simply loved music after all, and the incomparable glory of the big dye vat and glory to death in the entertainment industry still blinded him.
Neil suddenly remembered Hugo's song "Hollywood is not America." not。 ameri)", the heart is ashamed.
"Hugo, I'm sorry......" Pedro didn't hesitate, he directly said what he thought in his heart, but after finishing speaking, he suddenly stammered, because he found that he couldn't find any suitable words to express his inner feelings, and finally he could only say one more sentence, "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to say what I just said." ”
Hugo chuckled and waved his hand, "I said, this is not the reason for my apology, because I don't admit your accusation, what I want to apologize for is that I didn't communicate my thoughts to you, so that the band has completely revealed a blank schedule for most of the past six months, and it is my fault that I have nothing to do." ”
Hugo patted Neil the shoulder, making Neil look up, and then Neil saw the familiar smile on Hugo's face, and he knew that Hugo was comforting him. And Pedro, who was sitting opposite, was even more overwhelmed when he heard Hugo's words, and muttered in a low voice with an embarrassed face, "But...... I'm still ...... I'm sorry......" is like a child who has done something wrong.
Forkine looked at Hugo seriously, keenly capturing the deep meaning of Hugo's words, "You mean, is there anything wrong with the band's third album?" ”
