Chapter 296 296

"Go away!" After Fu Jin said this sentence, he saw the person coming, Hugo and Joseph. After realizing that the other party was not malicious, Fu Jin did not apologize, but just withdrew his gaze and looked towards A mess all over the place.

Hugo didn't know Fujin well, and the real conversation was very limited, so he looked at Joseph reluctantly.

As Fujin's roommate, Joseph naturally knew him better. Joseph knew that Fujin didn't continue to drive them away. In fact, it was a way of showing weakness. Joseph stepped forward and pointed to the mess on the ground, " So, do you need help?"

Fujin didn't look up, just stood there quietly, the overturned drum kits were scattered on the ground, an acoustic guitar was buckled upside down on the ground, and he didn't know if the strings were broken or not, and a keyboard rack had been knocked out. It was broken, the keyboard was long gone, and two guitar cases were left on the ground, one of which had a big hole. Logically speaking, there should be a bass box and a keyboard box, etc., but they are all missing, and it is estimated that they were kicked into the distance.

Hugo raised his head and looked around. Pedestrians in New York walked again in a hurry. Looking at the instruments scattered all over the floor, many people had to take a detour or jump over the instruments, which made Hugo's heart skip a beat. up and down. As a musician who was born in a band, and a band member who has been cash-strapped for ten years, Yuguo couldn't accept the fact that the instruments were thrown on the ground in such an embarrassment, not to mention whether they were damaged, if To say that he was stepped on by a reckless pedestrian is truly heartbreaking.

Hugo glanced at Fujin again, and found that he was still motionless and ignored Joseph's plan. As a last resort, Hugo stepped forward, picked up all the instruments scattered around, and then took them back. The kick drum of the drum set is the center, and they are stacked. Joseph also came to help when he saw this.

Hugo looked at the torn drum set. Fortunately, every part of the drum surface was not damaged, but it was unknown whether there were internal injuries. Hugo knew how to assemble the drum set. This worked countless times, but Hugo wasn't sure if Fukukin wanted to assemble the drum set or put it in a case to leave, so he didn't do it.

Hugo picked up the guitar that had fallen down beside the bass drum, and looked at it carefully. Fortunately, there was no disconnection, and the sound hole of the guitar box was not damaged. It seems that he was not affected much by the fight just now. . However, since it fell on the ground, the sound quality must be affected, and the strings need to be re-tuned. Generally speaking, tuning requires a piano as a measure of intonation, but Hugo was familiar enough with guitars and had a great talent for intonation that he could tune without the help of a piano.

Hugo subconsciously held the guitar and started tuning, which has become a habit developed by Hugo in his ten-year music career.

Hearing the sound of the guitar strings, Fu Jin seemed to have finally regained his senses. He looked at Hugo who was tuning the strings and Joseph, who was standing beside him looking at the instrument with regretful expressions. He bit his lips and said, "Just now. I'm very sorry, and thank you." Just like Fu Jin's personality, his speech was crisp and clear, never sloppy.

Joseph raised his head to look at Fu Jin, "It's okay." Then he pointed to the nosebleed and stains on Fu Jin's white T-shirt, "Are you okay?"

Fu Jinli shook his head and said that he had no problem, "I'm sorry for making you see a farce."

Hugo, who was tuning the strings, said, "Every band has its own contradictions." In fact, this is the same as every family has a hard-to-read scripture. The band is a small group, and everyone has their own Conflicts will inevitably arise between their personalities, their own thoughts, their own revenge. Some bands successfully resolved conflicts and continued, such as Linkin Park and U2; some bands failed to persevere amid conflicts and eventually disbanded, such as The Beatles, such as Oasis.

Fukukin glanced at Hugo, as far as he knew, Hugo didn't have a band now, but then he thought about it, with Hugo's amazing talent and deep understanding of the band, Hugo should have been a long, long time ago. Started playing a band, but now there is no band. Fukukin subconsciously thought that Hugo must have been through all this.

Fu Jin sighed and sat directly on the ripped guitar box, "Today the band was going to perform on the streets in New York, we agreed to perform from Los Angeles all the way to New York, then stay here for a month, and then go all the way. The performance went back to Los Angeles. Unexpectedly, the band members screwed up the performance by drinking and screwing up. It was terrible." After that, Fokin kicked the other intact guitar case violently.

Although Fugin's explanation is very simple, Hugo can infer a general idea from the situation just now. It is estimated that Fu Jin thinks that their band needs to accumulate more performance experience, and proposed this performance plan from the West Bank to the East Bank, and then from the East Bank all the way back to the West Bank.

In fact, this plan is worth advocating from an objective point of view, not only because the rich performance experience will make the band stronger, but also the difference in the music atmosphere between the east and west coasts, coupled with the performance experience of road trips, can grow the band vision. But the problem is that, first, the plan is very time-consuming and expensive; second, the journey itself is full of countless difficulties and challenges; finally, the coexistence of several months, which means that the band members twenty Staying together for four hours increases the possibility of conflict.

Therefore, after Fu Jin made his proposal, he was strongly opposed by the band. In any case, it finally happened. And they managed to get from the west coast to the east coast. But more than a month of perseverance has allowed the band's conflicts to accumulate to a certain extent - Hugo doesn't know if they have erupted in their previous trips, but from the intensity of today's outbreak, it can be seen that the grievances have been accumulating for a long time. The guy delayed the performance because of drinking, which completely detonated the anger of both parties.

Judging from the situation just now, although Brown and the other two are in the same group, the five band members still have their own conflicts. .

Hugo looked up at Fu Jin in surprise, his eyes full of surprise, "I thought your band was not only famous, but also powerful..." Hugo's words were direct and hurtful, and the subtext was, "You guys The band doesn't look good now." It seems that today, under the influence of Catherine and Fukukin, Hugo's speaking style has become a lot sharper.

Fukukin didn't mind Hugo's words at all, "It's just because I have a little fame that I got carried away." With a mocking expression, he was obviously very dissatisfied with the performance of his bandmates.

Hugo thought about it carefully. The band that Fookin was in should be a brand new day. He had been with Neil and Pedro for a long time before, and he also had a certain understanding of the underground rock music circle in Los Angeles. New Day is a medium-level band in this circle. There are many performance opportunities, but the level of the band members is uneven. Among them, Fu Jin, who is the drummer, is the most famous and the leader of the band. Having a "behind the scenes" drummer at the head of the band is a bit top-heavy given the current rock environment where lead vocals or guitars dominate.

In fact, in Hugo's view, a band must have a soul character. No matter what position the character is, whether it is the lead singer or the drummer, he must give the band enough spirit and then bring the band together. make the band grow.

In the past, the soul of Glory to Death was the lead singer Su Zinan. Hugo has always admired him. However, as Hugo's creative talent gradually came into play, Hugo's influence on the entire band has been increasing. Fortunately, Glory to The dead friends were gathered together from the beginning, and even replaced because of sucking. poison. Zhang Xiaoye's second guitarist, Gu Xiaojiao, who died of overdose, has also been with the band for more than seven years, so their cohesion is still very strong. Of course, the most important reason is also because Hugo did not have the idea of ​​competing with Su Zinan. On the contrary, the harmonious relationship between the two people who cherished each other and helped each other has made the band favored by the Midi Rock Music Festival.

But obviously, in the band New Day, people who are eager to get attention do not have enough ability to become the soul of the band, which also leads to the continuous expansion of internal contradictions in the band.

This is indeed a bit ironic, knowing that the new day is still rolling in the underground rock circle of Los Angeles, and even before entering the underground rock circle of the United States, some people start to get carried away with shortsightedness. On the other hand, Fu Jin's vision is very sophisticated, he wants to take the band to the United States, and then take the band to a higher level. It's no wonder that the soul of the band is Fujin, not the who-and-who.

"Everyone hopes to follow a band to the highest point of their musical dreams, but life is not always satisfactory, isn't it?" Hugo's understanding of the band is far better than the actor industry, so Fu Jin only After saying a few words, Hugo could already see the essence of the problem. "If this band can't succeed, is it not normal to choose another group of partners and seek new sparks? With your strength, I think there should be a lot of bands willing to invite you."

Among the drummers in the rock circle in Los Angeles, Fu Jin is indeed the number one person, but unfortunately, he was dragged down by the teammates who were not enterprising in the new day, and he was never able to go further.

Fukukin knew that Hugo was right, but he shook his head, "Reluctant." He put too much energy and memories in the band of a new day. It may not be difficult to leave his teammates, but leaving this band, But it's not that easy.

The words "reluctant" made Hugo stunned like this. In fact, he was willing to be honored to the death, and the thoughts of his teammates began to turn upside down in his mind. Hugo pulled out a helpless smile, then took a deep breath and looked at Fu Jin, "Worship, it's never been that easy."

Having said this, Hugo paused, suddenly remembered something, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Hey, Fu Jin, my band has no drummer yet, would you like to join?"
