Although the disturbing hype has always occupied an important place in the newspapers and magazines, for Hugo, he has always stayed away from these gossips. Hugo has always learned how to distinguish between media comments, whether it is praise or criticism, can not accept all of them, must distinguish the opinions that are really beneficial to themselves, only in this way can they make progress, so how to read media comments is also a very difficult course.

But there is no doubt that these gossips are all things that do not have any nutrition, just smile and laugh after reading them, and there is no need to care about them at all. As Joseph and Carr said, the media hype is that the more 'exciting' the parties are, the more lively the event will be, and the hype must have the cooperation of all aspects to build the stage.

Even if he occasionally heard Alex and Charlize mention some bits and pieces of news about Uma's current situation, Hugo didn't have much curiosity and focused on the band's practice.

The progress of the street performance of Glory to Death has been stumbling, and the most important thing is that the five people are in a run-in period and need a lot of practice, so they still pay more attention to each other's cooperation than the audience's feedback during the performance. This also makes the audience never large during street performances, but the five of them don't care too much, they only take to the streets to perform once every three to five days on average, and spend more time in the warehouse for persistent training. This also makes them enjoy every performance and enjoy the thrill of the band growing up little by little.

The June sun makes the pace of summer gradually noisy, the heat in the air gradually climbs up with the sound of the sea' waves, and the glory to death has been established for nearly a month before you know it.

In the space of four weeks, Alfonso not only regained his strength, but also made a new breakthrough in his understanding of keyboards and guitars, after all, the development of technology in three years was incredible, and Alfonso had to keep up with the current of the 'tide'. However, compared to Alfonso, the real biggest improvement is not the expected Pedro, but Hugo.

In fact, Hugo's theoretical foundation has always been relatively weak, and he is a model of relying on inspiration to create, but with his in-depth understanding of the basics of music, his understanding of creation is also constantly broadening. Hugo already has a sense of advance for the next 20 years, and his understanding of the flow of music 'tide' is two decades more advanced than now, and now Hugo can constantly confirm and compare his advanced consciousness in the actual practice of music, but it has made Hugo grow up rapidly.

Of course, what is more important is that the band members' understanding of music is blending and influencing each other, which also makes the whole band's style slowly take shape.

"Okay, that's all for today's exercise." Neil pressed the strings in his hands, looked at his tired teammates, and spoke

"But ......" Pedro still looked a little unsatisfied, but Neil shook his head, "Hugo still has work tomorrow, so let's practice today." Besides, we're going to have to practice for a long time after that, and we're not in a hurry for an hour or two. ”

"Hugo, when your new movie is released, won't the work be very busy during the promotion period?" Alfonso took over curiously, and at the same time his hand was not idle, and began to put away his instruments.

Tomorrow is June 23rd, the day of the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle", and two days later, on the 25th, the film will be officially released in the United States, and tomorrow's premiere will be a warm-up, when a large number of media will arrive at the scene to make a judgment on the movie, and then it will be the moment when the film will be released and judged by the audience.

Hugo is no stranger to this situation, he has experienced it twice before, but the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle" is the first time Hugo has officially appeared in front of the media after the ups and downs of the past six months, and it still needs to be taken seriously.

"Joe asked, there wasn't much publicity this time, and Columbia Pictures didn't want to 'spend' too much on publicity." Hugo put away his guitar. Since Columbia Pictures, like many media outlets, is not optimistic about the prospects of the film, they don't want to 'spend' more unrecoverable costs, and only arrange some rational "sexual" reporter interviews and radio interviews in the first week of the publicity period, and then there is no further expansion of publicity.

In fact, Hugo wants to cooperate with the promotion, after all, he has dividends at the box office of "Sleepless in Seattle", and the more 'colorful' the box office, the more he can get paid, but at present, Columbia Pictures has no arrangement, and it is useless for Hugo to be active. Besides, the band also has activities scheduled in the future, and Hugo can also be used as a promotion for the movie, so there is no effort to fight for it.

"If there is no publicity campaign, at least the impact on the band's practice is much smaller." Fukine was quick to move, and soon covered his drum kit with a hood, and was now making sure that none of the surrounding 'plugs' were energized. After all, this is a warehouse, and there is wood everywhere, so it is easy to catch fire, so you should still be careful.

"He will only be absent from the band's practice because of movies in the future, and if he spends too much time practicing in the band, it means that his film career has failed, which is not a good sign." Pedro grinned and teased, causing Hugo to roll his eyes speechlessly.

"Is this a blessing or a curse?" Hugo looked helpless at Pedro, "That's why I said at the beginning, I'm not fit to be the captain, Neil is doing a good job now, isn't he?" That was my foresight. ”

"You're lazy, you can say it clearly." Neil complained mercilessly.

"And the confusion." Alfonso weighted the weight.

"Road idiot." Fokine's final blow.

"Hey guys, this isn't my critique meeting, okay?" Hugo was overwhelmed by such concentrated firepower, and the wolf raised his hand in surrender.

Any band needs a captain, and Glory to Death is no exception. In fact, the main responsibility of the captain is not to manage the band, but to be responsible for the communication within the band and to maintain the harmony of the band. Now when the band does not have an agent, it is the responsibility of the captain to have any work 'door' or event schedule; If there is an agent in the future, then the captain must also shoulder the responsibility of communicating with the agent and 'communicating' the flow.

So, while the captain sounds very imposing, it's actually a very trivial position.

Originally, when everyone was choosing the captain, all four of them coincidentally chose Hugo except Hugo, because Hugo is the lead singer, and coupled with the identity of the actor, it is obviously the focus of attention; Second, the current music style of glory to death completely follows Hugo, and more than 90% of the repertoire practiced by the band is composed by Hugo, so Hugo became the captain, and everyone is convinced and expected.

But unexpectedly, Hugo refused. The biggest reason is that he often leaves the band 'sexually', and he doesn't want to give up his identity as an actor, so he can't devote himself to the trivial work of the band; Other small reasons such as "I need time to devote myself to creation, no time management" are simply ignored, but Hugo's words are very reasonable, he is indeed not the right person to captain.

Aside from Hugo, Fokine seemed to be the right person to captain, after all, he single-handedly brought the new day up, but Fokine was unwilling, although he didn't say why, but obviously the bad memories of the new day still affected him. Fokine recommended Neil, and Hugo seconded it.

On the one hand, Neil is the veteran of the band, and he, Hugo and Pedro are the first members of the band; On the other hand, Neil's seriousness, rigor and attentiveness are all indispensable virtues of the captain's position; The most important thing is that compared to Hugo, Neil actually gets along with the band members the most, including Fokine and Alfonso are also willing to communicate with Neil.

So, after consulting Neil himself, the responsibility of Captain Glory to Death fell on Neil Anderson's shoulders.

Looking at Hugo's wolf bèi's avatar, Pedro smiled and relieved Hugo, "Hugo, what is the premiere like?"

"What does it feel like to be stared at by a pack of wild wolves?" Hugo pouted helplessly, although the premiere was actually the most important occasion for close contact with movie fans, but Hugo couldn't forget the flash bombardment of reporters, "Although the news has almost disappeared recently, but now I'm just hitting the muzzle, do you think those crows will shut up?" Apparently not. Hugo is talking about the hype that has gradually precipitated, but who knows if the reporter will bring it up again at the premiere.

"I see you're dealing with it well, no problem." Fujin looked like he was standing by and watching, and said cool words.

Hugo rolled his eyes and muttered something "'carelessly' friends", which caused Alfonso and Neil to laugh next to him, "By the way, this is the premiere of the movie I starred in, you can also attend, why don't you go together?" "For the official movie premiere, in addition to the 'female' companion, in fact, the film company will also give the actor part of the invitation letter, so that the actor can invite his friends Ordinary people have no problem, if Hugo has a large team, agents, managers, assistants and others can get a lot of invitations, let them invite their friends to attend the premiere. Provided, of course, that the premiere is large enough.

The premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle" wasn't huge, but if the glory to death teammates, Alex, Charlize and others wanted to attend, there was nothing wrong with that.

Looking at Hugo's excited expression, Pedro, who was originally the most positive, was the first to dodge, "I don't want to 'deal' with crows." And several other people looked at Hugo's eager eyes, and they all avoided their gaze, obviously unwilling to muddy the water.

This made Hugo speechless, "Hey, this is a premiere, not a criticism conference, why do you look like I owe money." Hey, Fokine, why are you leaving...... Neil? Alfonso ...... Wait for me, Pepe don't forget to turn off the lights......"
