All have been drawn to this showdown of the century, whether you care or not, but it is undeniable that this is the hottest focus of the year. Its popularity is even approaching the ongoing presidential election, becoming the second most popular since 1996.

Maria is watching the outcome of the match on the first day, Oasis Band is watching the outcome of the match on the first day, and Glory to Death is no exception. While they were practicing hard in preparation for this week's concert in San Francisco, Samora was the first to tell the band members about the results.

"What? What? What did you say?" Pedro's face was full of disbelief, but the corners of his mouth that could not be restrained began to rise, but revealed his inner joy, watching Samora keep nodding and affirming, Pedro He punched Samora hard in the shoulder. "Shut up! Shut the fuck up! This can't be true, oh god, god damn it!"

Even Fujin, who has always disliked expressing his emotions, showed incredible surprise, "So, you mean, our album sold 660,000 copies in one day?" He was speechless, just nodded and smirked cheerfully, the shock in his heart couldn't be expressed in words at all, "Dog. Shit! This is definitely his. Mom. Dog. Shit!"

Alfonso stood beside him without saying a word, as if he was in a panic, until Pedro pounced on him, causing Alfonso to stumble twice in a row, and he fell directly to the ground. Only then did Pedro realize that Alfonso was already in tears, like a lost child, crying overwhelmed, which made Pedro laugh out loud, "Alfonso, what's the matter? What happened? We did it, we did all the incredible miracles!"

Alfonso was lying on the ground in embarrassment, and then looked at Hugo not far away with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't say a single word. Alfonso knew better than anyone that he owed Hugo after all. To be precise, the other four members of the Glory to Death owe Hugo.

What exactly does the album "Rapid Rain" mean, how much of Hugo's thoughts were condensed, and how many ups and downs it went through in the production process. They knew better than anyone that Hugo not only gave the album the soul, but also the band. He took all the hard work and pressure on his shoulders by himself, but they knew nothing and were still complaining. Hugo only cared about his career as an actor and was jealous of Hugo's achievements.

But they are the ones who know the truth best: in order to get to this day, how much Hugo has experienced, how much he has shouldered, and how much he has worked hard.

Looking at Alfonso's line of sight, Pedro immediately understood what Alfonso meant. His cheeks couldn't help but turn red, his chest was full of countless surging emotions, and the confusion in his eyes couldn't be explained in words. Pedro just wanted to go over and give Hugo a big hug, which was the only thing he could do.

However, before Pedro could move, Neil, who was standing beside him, rushed forward and gave Hugo a fierce hug. The huge impact made Hugo take three or four steps back before he could stabilize. focus. Neil, who was usually prudent and restrained, lost control of his emotions today. He didn't even want to wipe the hot tears from his eyes, he just hugged Hugo hard and said nothing.

Compared with the other members of Glory to Death, Neil is more aware of Hugo's ups and downs along the way. Others only saw such a shocking energy erupted in the first-day sales of "Blizzard", but But no one knows how difficult it was to break out of the cocoon and fly high in the original song "Sail".

Neil patted Hugo's back hard, full of confusion but couldn't say it at all, so he could only pat Hugo hard again, but he didn't want to but was so excited that he was too hard, Hugo coughed immediately after being patted." Ahem, Neil, I know you usually have a lot of dissatisfaction with me, but if you're going to express it this way, I'd rather fight you directly."

Hugo's teasing made Fugin the first to laugh, and Pedro and Alfonso couldn't help but look at such an abnormal behavior.

Neil knew that although Hugo didn't show it, Hugo was more excited than anyone else at this time, because all of this was Hugo's dream. The road was thorny, bumpy, and bumpy, and he finally reached the other side of his dream. The scenery along the way is so beautiful, even more attractive than the beauty of the other side, which makes people intoxicated.

"Do you remember? When you said that you were going to plant the seeds of rock and roll belief again, and make people feel the craze of the seventies. What do you think, now?" Neil said excitedly, this was his Seeing the blueprint in Hugo's drawing for the first time.

"Rainstorm" broke out 660,000 sales on the first day. Compared with the history created by this set of data, Neil saw more of the enthusiasm behind the madness of fans, and the seeds of rock and roll belief were quietly sprouting. Perhaps, the blueprint that Hugo dreamed of could one day become a reality. It is like the dream of human beings to fly in the blue sky.

Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth, and that bright smile was like a ray of sunshine leaking from the dense canopy in March, instantly dissipating all the cold and haze, "At least we have sown, this is the first step. "

What I once thought was impossible, actually took the most solid first step. This is the part behind the crazy first-day sales of "Rainstorm" that makes Hugo the most excited. The unparalleled enthusiasm fills his chest and makes Hugo feel more fulfilled than ever before. The previous hardships, the previous setbacks, the previous efforts, the previous dazedness, the previous fears... all turned into happiness at this moment, walking on the road of dreams, even if the future is long, the scenery along the way is enough to make life become Be colorful.

"Hugo-Lancaster! I love you!" Pedro stood up, shouted loudly, and lunged at Hugo, which made Hugo look terrified, "Hey, hey, I don't have anything other than friendship with you." Hugo said as he broke free from Neil's arms and wanted to flee.

But today Neil stood by Pedro's side and grabbed Hugo firmly, and then Pedro rushed over, hugged Hugo hard, and even leaned in, slapped Hugo's cheek hard. Kissed hard. This made Hugo show disgust on his face, "Hey! I said it, I am to you..."

Before Hugo could say the latter, he was interrupted by Fu Jin, because Fu Jin also rushed over and hugged Hugo tightly from the other direction. Seeing Fujin's tall, grizzly-like figure rushing towards him, Hugo couldn't help but let out a hint of fear in his eyes, and wailed, "Oh, God!"

"Plus me!" Alfonso even took a run, sprinted violently, and hugged the four of them. A group of big men started playing like kindergarten children. Hugo's wailing was completely heard by other Overwhelmed by the maniacal laughter.

Really helpless.
