Chapter 339 339 The Power of Music
Hugo sat on the backrest chair and excitedly took apart the gift he had just received. The impatient expression looked like a three-year-old child sitting in front of the Christmas tree, which made Joseph laugh, "Do you really like that? I haven't heard of this band before."
"Joe? What an excellent band this is! You really should listen to this album with me." Hugo looked at Joseph with dissatisfaction, but his hand didn't stop and quickly took out the cassette. In fact, in the 21st century, the cassette had basically disappeared, and even the sales of CDs were declining. As a new century, Hugo was more familiar with digital sound sources, so when he saw the cassette with a historical retro flavor, Hugo was still a little curious.
At present, the filming of "Schindler's List" is approaching its end. Hugo has two irrelevant parts left in the scenes, so it can be officially completed. However, Hugo did not leave the crew early, but chose to stay, waiting for the entire crew to finish the filming together, and then return to Los Angeles together.
As the scene is approaching the end, Hugo can finally relax completely, but the more difficult problem now is to get Amon Goss to pull the roots from Hugo's heart bit by bit, which is an extremely difficult task. In order to divert his attention, music is obviously a wise choice, so Joseph made a special trip to buy the album as a gift according to Hugo's request.
"Ahh!" Hugo couldn't help laughing when he saw the cover of the cassette. The cover was actually two men kissing naked on their upper body. It was indeed the goatskin band he was familiar with. Hugo couldn't wait to put the cassette into his walkman, "Do you want to enjoy it together?" Hugo took the earplugs, gave one to Joseph, and asked.
Joseph stood there and hesitated for a long time before sitting down next to Hugo and took the earplugs.
The Goatskin band, founded in 1989, when they first debuted, many people thought they could only release one album at most, but the facts proved that this idea was wrong. In the following decade, the Goatskin band became one of the most influential British bands in the 1990s, making an immeasurable contribution to British indie rock music. Until 2014, the Goatskin band was considered one of the greatest bands since the Smith band.
Throughout the 1990s, British rock formed a powerful storm all over the world. The Stone Rose Band that appeared in 1989 was enlightened, but the one that really kicked off was the Goatskin. The album "Suede" released by the band in 1993, in March this year was widely regarded as the beginning of the British rock storm in the 1990s. The band's frontman Brett Anderson's neutral appearance and singing style, coupled with the unique arrangement of composition genius Bernard Butler and the charming and smooth colorful guitar, outlined the band's gloomy and decadent colors, making the band instantly enter the classic rock hall.
In the rock wave that has revitalized its vitality in recent years, the Goatskin Band has always had distinctive characteristics. The style is bold, mysterious, treacherous, sexy, lively, arrogant, and popular. This unique attitude has made the band not achieve any results in the first four years after its establishment. Newspapers, magazines, British audiences, agents, and record companies do not think they can create good results, because their performances are lackluster and have no charm at all, and the style is extremely boring. Their public performances are even more terrible, and the audience does not support them at all.
However, since 1992, the development of rock music has gone to a situation where the prosperity will decline, and when poverty will change, the diversification of rock began to sprout in the underground rock circle, and bands like Goatskin with unique styles gradually attracted the attention of the public. Their live performances began to attract more and more music lovers, and mainstream media also locked their attention on Goatskin.
Before the release of the album of the same name by Goatskin, mainstream British media had great expectations for this album, and was hailed as sex. The most anticipated album since the release of the album "Never.The Never.The.The Polloks" in 1977.
In March, after the release of the album "Goatskin", it lived up to expectations. The praise from all walks of life was very popular. The album easily won the championship with a record record, far exceeding the second-ranked competitor Depeche De's sales volume by four times. It also became the fastest-selling album since Frank went to the Hollywood Choir in 1984, "Welcome.to.the.pleasure.dome" album: the day after the album was released, it became the Golden Records certification in the UK with 100,000 copies.
The emergence of the Goatskin band also officially kicked off the most glorious decade of rock in music history.
The Goatskin band represents a new decadent and charming rock style, gorgeous and popular arrangements, and the lead singer Bright's morbid charm and arrogant poignant beauty won applause. Their music was deeply influenced by British punk and gorgeous rock, and it was both hard and soft. In the album "Goatskin", eleven songs can almost be said to be the classics of each song, and have become an indispensable and important member of the decade of glorious rock.
Listening to the familiar music coming from his earbuds, Hugo felt comfortable all over his body. After coming to Los Angeles in 1992, Hugo was very uncomfortable with it without the company of music, especially when he had thousands of songs stored in his music player, which could be immersed in the music anytime and anywhere. Now those classic songs have not even appeared, which made Hugo quite frustrated.
The music of the Goatskin band is not only excellent, but also represents a period of time. Almost every rock band has experienced a decadent and confused stage. This is like the colorful and yellow memories of youth in memory, and it is always the most special mark in life. Hugo is naturally no exception. Just by hearing the first song in the album, "So Young (so. Temptation)", a clear picture appears in Hugo's mind.
It was a stage built with a small pile of soil. In front of them, there were three children playing with mud and two idle people watching the fun with their hands on their chests. This was a stage that Honor had experienced until death. As a result, the guitarist Zhang Xiaoye, who had not been taken away by poison at that time, exploded directly, pointing at the two idle people and shouting, "Do you know what rock is?" The two middle-aged men shook their heads innocently, then turned around and left in shame.
"At least our performances can be watched by all ages." Hugo's mind came to his answer at that time, which made everyone else in the band laugh and cry.
Hugo couldn't help but close his eyes and savored Bright's charming and gorgeous voice dancing lightly on his eardrums. The passage of time became unimportant. The beating and connecting musical notes and musical notes made the fine sand of time fall slowly, and then disappeared silently between the melody. After the a-side is played, the quiet enjoyment is interrupted.
Hugo turned his head and looked at Joseph sitting next to him, and said with a smile, "How is it, this is enjoyment." Because of playing the role of Amon, Hugo's eyebrows had not seen such a clear smile for a long time, and the eyes full of evil aura regained their original spirit.
Joseph's serious expression couldn't help but relax a lot, "Are you sure you are in your current state and you will play the remaining two scenes, is there no problem?"
Hugo curled his lips, "Don't worry, the remaining two scenes are all long-term, and the requirements for expressions are not that delicate."
The performance experience of "Schindler's List" is strictly speaking, a real breakthrough in his past four movies. It is more difficult than the opponent of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and more difficult than the "Seattle Night" entry. The inner struggle and entanglement have penetrated into Hugo's bones. Although Hugo is smiling happily now, he knows that it will take a long time to truly get out of the influence of this scene. Therefore, it is estimated that Hugo will not accept the new script for the next period of time, and he needs to make some adjustments.
It turns out that acting is also a physical job.
"I think I know why you like this album so much." Joseph took down the earplug in his right ear and handed it to Hugo. "When you are filming, I can enjoy this album alone." This made Hugo chuckle, and Joseph continued, "Their music has a kind of infectious power. Although I can't say anything specific, after all, I'm not a music guy, but I like it very much, yes, I like it very much."
Hugo immediately laughed proudly, sharing music with friends is also a happy thing. Music has this ability, which is one of the reasons why Hugo and Neil, Pedro, Green and others have such a good relationship now.
"I heard this power in your music, and I only now really feel that you should be a singer." Joseph nodded slightly and said affirmatively.
Since the audition for "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" last year, Hugo created the "Second. Chance" for the first time. This is the first time that Joseph has had such a firm idea because he can feel Hugo's passion for music. This fanaticism can be felt when Hugo devotes himself to the performance, and when he listens to the music of the Goatskin band just now, he can also feel it.
Hugo shrugged, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of confidence, "I'm working hard, aren't I?"
"But I see that your band is not going well." Joseph remembered the band Hugo had tinkered with in the past two months, but there seemed to be no further news.
Hugo spread his hands and expressed helplessness, "We have never found a suitable drummer and keyboard player, so we can't be considered as forming a band."
