026 Second chance
Joseph turned over the "Vanity Fair" in his hand, but was a little absent-minded. Even the explosive news that Woody Allen betrayed his wife Mia Farrow and his Korean adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn did not attract his attention.
Song Yi is the daughter adopted by Mia Farrow and her ex-husband. She came to Woody Allen with her less than ten years old. During her growth, Woody, who was over 60 years old, has always played the role of father. But surprisingly, Woody, who was 65, fell in love with Song Yi, who had just turned nineteen in 1990, which immediately put him in a very embarrassing situation.
Last week, Mia accidentally found a box while packing her things in the living room and found it full of photos of her adopted daughter Song Yi, thus discovering a terrible affair between her husband and her adopted daughter, which almost made Mia collapse. After this unfamiliar love was exposed this week, it caused a stir in the whole of the United States, not only because of the huge age gap between Woody and Song Yi, but also because of their legal father-daughter relationship, which is really terrifying.
Thanks to the scandal of the Allen family, almost everyone focused their attention on the gossip here. For several consecutive days, the front page headlines of major news media were occupied by Woody Allen. Under such circumstances, even the 49th Golden Globes were sidelined, let alone Hugo's mischief at the Golden Raspberry Awards.
Originally, Joseph wanted to see the follow-up reports about Jinermei and the "Dahe Love" audition, but now he is obviously not in the magazine. The light of his eyes always floats to the side. At this time, Hugo was sitting at the only desk in the room, scribing randomly in a magazine, with his expression very focused, and looked particularly soft in the bad light in the room.
Just now after they drove home, Hugo found a pen and wanted to find paper everywhere, saying that he wanted to record his creative inspiration. Unfortunately, he did not find any blank paper. In the end, Hugo took a magazine and started writing and drawing in the blank space.
Joseph felt that he was really eye-opening. Hugo actually could create music. On the one hand, he felt incredible, unwilling to believe, and showed his attitude that he didn't care at all. But on the other hand, he was very curious about what Hugo would tinker with. Although he heard Hugo hum a few sentences just now and thought it was really a good song, it did not mean that Hugo could write a song in full. So what kind of song would Hugo write? Joseph was really curious.
"Ahha!" Hugo was there for a long time, then showed a big smile, looked at him from the side, and the joy at the corners of his mouth and eyes flowed down like a milky yellow light, forming a handsome silhouette in the light and shadow, which was amazing.
Joseph guessed that this was a signal of progress or was the creation completed? Hugo suddenly stretched, and Joseph immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at the "Famous Fair" in his hand, as if he was devoted to reading the magazine. However, after a while, Joseph did not hear any movement, and could not help but move his gaze to the right quietly. Yu Guang soon saw Hugo researching the used magazine again, which made Joseph breathe a sigh of relief, and slowly straightened his neck to see how Hugo was going.
Suddenly, Hugo turned his head and Joseph turned around without any haste, and then he met Hugo's sight. This made Joseph feel a little embarrassed and almost choked by his saliva. He held it back and looked at the magazine as if nothing had happened, but the trembling on his back still revealed his secret.
When Hugo saw Joseph's arrogant look, the smile on his face bloomed without any concealment. Then he turned around with the magazine and sat down facing Joseph, "I'm finished creating, how about it, do you want to see it?"
Joseph's eyes remained on the magazine, but he couldn't see clearly whether the person in front of him was Woody Allen or Mia Farrow. He found the opportunity and coughed lightly, "I don't understand music, why do you show me what you're doing."
"After the creation, communication, you can't understand the music score, you can read the lyrics." Hugo actually knew that Joseph was very curious. After all, his predecessor never showed any talent for music. He suddenly started to create. As an agent, Joseph naturally had curiosity. So Hugo thought that instead of hiding, it would be better to communicate with Joseph openly. Besides, the meaning of music lies in sharing. If you are just a person who appreciates it alone, then music cannot reflect its value.
Joseph still did not look away from the magazine in front of him, but pondered for a while, as if he had thought about it, and then said, "You can sing it and listen," Joseph then raised his head "naturally" and looked at Hugo calmly, "The song must be sung before it can be realized. Just look at the lyrics, you can't see anything."
Hugo didn't answer, but just laughed, which made Joseph a little embarrassed, but his expression remained calm. "What are you laughing at?" Hugo shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, nothing, it's just the first time I've sung the song he created, and I'm a little nervous."
In the past, in the Glory To Death band, Hugo was a rhythm guitarist, not a lead singer. Although he occasionally played the role of the deputy lead singer, it was not his main job. So in strict terms, Hugo's sentence was also fine.
"My vision is extremely wide. I enjoy every day on the road ahead and enjoy the world outside the window, which means saying goodbye to the past and starting a journey from today." Hugo's voice was so warm, with a light blue melancholy, slowly flying like a fireflies in the dirty and messy space, gradually conveying the moving melody into his heart.
But suddenly, Hugo burst out with huge energy. The power in the sound was gradually released with the rise of the melody. Unlike the hoarseness of the rock smoky voice, it was more of a velvety thick, constantly pulling in the turbulent waves. It was very gorgeous. "I heard Mr. Halley's Comet whisper to me, 'Why are you always standing still?' Even the moon lander will soon disappear somewhere in the stratosphere." Then Hugo couldn't help but close his eyes, and all the energy was released at this moment. "Please tell my parents that I have done my best to let them know that this is my own life and hope to get their understanding."
Listening carefully to the emotions in the lyrics, the sour and the sunshine in the guilt is like the sunshine that penetrates the dark clouds, coating the dark clouds with a light golden color, so beautiful that it makes people speechless. Hugo's profound interpretation of the lyrics makes the melody feel fully released.
Joseph was a little surprised. He guessed that this was a very good song, but it was still far beyond his imagination. He also guessed that Hugo had a good voice. Although his singing skills were still a little awkward, the outburst of emotions covered up these flaws, making the song exude endless charm.
Joseph could clearly feel Hugo's inner struggle, on the one hand, it was the bond of family, and on the other hand, it was the pull of dreams. This is also a story that almost everyone will experience, whether to succumb to the pressure of life or break free from the constraints and be brave enough to pursue dreams.
In this song by Hugo, his answer was given: "I am not sulking, but calm down and telling me: Sometimes leaving means a second chance (Second.Chance). Please don't let them cry for me. I'm not afraid of what I said. This is my unique voice, so please listen carefully, only for today."
Hugo poured all the entanglements, hesitation, pain, and remembrance into the song, and woven them in the melody, singing them out in a cathartic way, as if standing on the edge of a cliff and shouting loudly at the empty valley, allowing his emotions to burst out unscrupulously.
"Sometimes leaving means a second chance", this is Hugo's answer, simple, simple but real, moving. Joseph looked at Hugo who was singing hard in front of him, and a corner deep in his heart was moved. Although Hugo has been working hard with a positive attitude since the Golden Raspberry Award, this moment is so unique because Joseph saw the power of dreams in Hugo.
"This is my opportunity, my opportunity!" Hugo's voice fully expressed the deep emotions in his heart. The uneasiness and anxiety after traveling through time disappeared at this moment, which had nothing to do with whether the audition of "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women" was successful. It was just because Hugo knew that this was his opportunity. If he didn't grasp it, he would not only let God down, but also regret his life. Therefore, he did not plan to hesitate anymore, nor did he worry about uneasiness anymore. He would seize this opportunity and pursue his dream, because he didn't want to miss it.
"Second Chance (Second.Chance)", this is Hugo's voice at this moment!
Joseph looked at Hugo's emotional face, and sighing came out of his heart uncontrollably. He wanted to say something, but he could not find an accurate expression. In Joseph's opinion, Hugo was saying that after experiencing the life and death struggles on the night of the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony, he survived. This was the second chance God gave him, and he would hold on. This persistence moved Joseph.
But a series of sharp phone rings interrupted this beautiful moment, not only ending Hugo's singing, but also interrupting Joseph's heart. Joseph stood up in a mess, walked to the bedside table and picked up the receiver for the landline, "Yes, I am Joseph Gibbs, Hugo Lancaster's agent."
Joseph looked back at Hugo, and then continued, "Yes...no problem, of course... OK, I know... about this matter, we will call you back later, okay?... OK, OK. Thank you for your call."
Chapter completed!
