72_72291 "Welcome to tonight's 'The Tonight Show,' I'm Jay Reno." After today's opening, let's skip all the nonsense and warmly welcome our special guest, my best friend, Hugo Lancaster, with a round of applause. ”

Thunderous applause and tsunami cheers made the whole studio start to shake, and the deafening sound almost made the headphones of the studio director start to murmur, and he had to take off the earbuds, and then also stood up, and greeted Hugo with applause.

Hugo with a bright smile on his face appeared in everyone's sight like this, making the heat wave at the scene wave higher and higher, just seeing Hugo beckoning, the scene was already out of control.

Today, Hugo wore a white shirt with black buttons, a round-neck T-shirt with a black background and a colorful dog's head, with a pair of light brown fine checked suit pants and navy blue suede flat shoes.

Hugo gave Jie a big hug, with a relaxed smile on his face, and then walked to his guest sofa chair, waiting for the applause of the scene to end, but the surging tide continued endlessly, as if it would never stop, the scene director had to remind the audience three times that they could sit down, but it was still in vain, and finally Hugo tried twice, and the scene gradually quieted down.

"It seems that the positions of the guest and the host should be reversed today." Seeing this scene, Jie said teasingly.

Hugo shrugged, "I can also be considered half the master of the 'Tonight Show', can I?" Jay was stunned, and Hugo continued, "I noticed your use of the phrase, 'best friend,' which I always thought was equivalent to another word for family. ”

At the beginning of the scene, Jay did not introduce Hugo as a singer or actor, but introduced him as "my best friend", which is actually a slippery head, and Hugo is now making a counterattack, which made the audience all chuckle. Hugo and Jay's meeting is so full of laughter every time.

"I'm glad I didn't use the words 'my closest business partner'." This sentence made many people clap their hands and laugh, if you know anything about the news, you can know that Jie made some investments not long ago, but in the end failed, and the partner fled directly with the money. Although the loss was not large, it made Jie very unhappy. Jay's irony now obviously means something.

However, Jie didn't give the audience more time to react, and then said, "So, the income has been very good recently." After saying this, Jie stared at Hugo's eyes, as if Hugo dared to deny it, and he was going to directly destroy Hugo's humanity.

Hugo didn't react at first, but after noticing Jay's gaze, he pursed his lips, lowered his head and began to dig into his pocket for a while, and finally pulled out a twenty-five cent coin and put it on Jay's table.

All the audience at the scene witnessed this moment, and then everyone burst into laughter. Hugo spread his hands innocently, pointed to his trouser pocket, and shook his head helplessly. This made Jie also laugh, "There have been too many topics about you recently, let's clarify one thing first, is the box office of 'Independence Day' about to exceed 500 million, which makes you even happier?" Or the single 'Young Volcano' (young. voloes)' made you even more excited by the 430,000 bids you bought yesterday? ”

This is also one of the topics that everyone has been on top of mind lately, first "Independence Day", then "Young Volcanoes", and Hugo is climbing to unprecedented heights in an incredible attitude. Not even Marlon Brando, even Michael Jackson, even Steven Spielberg, even the Beatles, have been able to reach heights.

Hugo pondered for a moment, then replied earnestly, "'Independence Day.'" ”

Such a crisp and neat answer made everyone stunned, and in everyone's expectations, Hugo must hesitate for a while, and then be polite, because this question is basically equivalent to asking "do you like the left hand or the right hand", "do you like dad or mom", "do you like singing or acting", maybe you have the answer in your heart, but you will never say it. Even if it's the "Tonight Show".

But Hugo's answer didn't hesitate much at all, and he simply said it neatly, which really made people unable to react at all. Even Jie couldn't help but be stunned, and then squeezed out a sentence, "Why?" ”

"You know, there are five men who are glorious unto death." Hugo's answer was also very simple, and once again made people stunned, and then Jie was the first to react, the smile on the corner of his mouth was hooked, and then tried to suppress it, but he didn't suppress it, and after outlining it again, he laughed out loud.

Hugo is answering the second question with Jay's previous question: there are five people who are glorious to death, and the income needs to be divided equally among five people; But as an actor, Hugo has only one person, and the 20 million salary and 2% dividends received on "Independence Day" are all enjoyed by him alone.

Hugo's answer was really jumpy, but at the same time, it was also full of explosive points, answering everyone's curiosity in the most interesting way.

By the time the others reacted, the scene slowed down a few beats before bursting into laughter, and Jay had already finished laughing and moved on to the next question, "So, let's talk about glory to death, is that why you abandoned them today and came to the show alone?" ”

"Although they have always been uncomfortable with talk shows, this is one of the reasons. But ......," Hugo muttered, then nodded, "yes, that's why." It always seems too crowded in the spotlight, doesn't it? ”

Looking at Hugo's serious expression, the scene was already about to laugh anymore, and Jay was also grinning, "Before the release of the single 'Young Volcano', did you have any thoughts on the battle of the century?" ”

"To be honest, my first reaction was: let me be quiet." Hugo's words made everyone burst into laughter, Hugo was tired of disgusting Oasis and Maria's provocations, "Maybe I can talk about the difficulties that the band has encountered in the past year, and the calms we have faced, including the difficulties in the production of this new album, but ...... I guess that makes you look like Oprah, so, perhaps, I should say......" Hugo shrugged, "the championship is ours!" No doubt! ”

"Oooo The cheers and screams at the scene surged in an instant, and everyone was applauding Hugo's domineering words, which is probably the only one in the United States who is so qualified to say this. And on September 23, the reality of the battle of the century also proved this.

"So, you're saying that neither Oasis nor Maria are rivals for glory to death?" Jie asked aggressively that this is also the consistent style of most talk shows, including "The Tonight Show", which is direct and real, and will not retract his words because of his concern for those who are ridiculed.

Hugo couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm in the boxing ring right now?" Is this a straight punch? Hugo's ridicule made everyone chuckle, but Jay didn't flinch at all, still staring at Hugo so tightly that Hugo had nowhere to escape. The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth did not freeze, but rose slightly, "Let me put it this way, I don't think music can tell the winner, because everyone has their own aesthetic orientation, and sales do not mean a qiē." But in terms of music quality, I have absolute confidence in music that will be glorious to death. ”

Hugo didn't answer Jay's question directly, but in fact, he answered the question head-on, Jay showed a satisfied smile, "Let me see, 'Young Volcano' sold 430,000 copies in North America in just one day, and worldwide, this sales figure is ...... Uh, 1,280,000. All the audience at the scene gasped, and Jie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Yes, I was completely frightened when I saw this number, which is literally." This made Hugo burst out laughing.

"I know you just said that sales don't represent a qiē, but did you expect such an outcome before the release of the single? A single song, in one day, created such a terrible miracle as zào. ”

Listening to Jay's question, Hugo waved his hand again and again, "Of course not, to be honest, I don't know much about the specific sales figures of the current singles, my agent Henry did mention it to Neil once, but only an approximate number." At noon today, Michael called me and said he was a little jealous of what I had achieved, and although I knew that the sales of 'Trembling' were laughing at my pride, I was a little fluttering when Michael said this to me. ”

The miracle of sales of the Zào album "Thriller" is a height that cannot be broken at all, and as the owner of this record, Michael is clearly surprised by the results of "Young Volcano".

"To be honest, the creation of the song 'Young Volcano' was an instant burst of inspiration, and I won't describe the creative process in detail, but I must emphasize that this is a very special song, maybe purely technically, it is not a perfect melody, but it is a song that belongs to all music lovers. Between the melody and the lyrics, I can find that kind of fanaticism for music. So, maybe this time, the 'Young Volcano' is so sought after because of my ...... Brilliant. ”

Just when everyone thought that Hugo was going to say that "the listeners' enthusiasm for music", such words, although some clichés, some clichés and politeness, are indeed the spirit of the song "Young Volcano". But unexpectedly, Hugo gave everyone a surprise.

"Uh......" Jie was stunned again, then nodded his chin slightly, with a helpless embarrassed expression, "There's no way we can deny this fact, right?" The audience burst into laughter
