096 Movie Soundtrack

"Hugo, try to re-adjust your breathing. Don't pronounce the words too clearly. The interval between words can be slightly dragged by one eighth of a beat to connect the melody." After twenty minutes of recording, Mark began to teach Hugo some simple singing skills.

Hugo is not a professional singer. His understanding and interpretation of songs is entirely based on his instinct. He has never systematically learned any singing skills, breathing skills, etc. After hearing Mark's explanation, Hugo didn't quite understand, but he didn't pretend to understand, so he directly asked, "Mark, did you connect the notes slightly when I asked me to sing?" Mark nodded and expressed his affirmation, "But, how to be coherent? Can you demonstrate to me?"

Facing Hugo's request, Mark was immediately embarrassed, and the face that always smiled became entangled, "I am just a movie musician, not a professional singer. Today I am just a guest star for you as a recording engineer. I have no way to demonstrate." Mark's entangled expression made Hugo laugh at all, "I can only tell you what the method will be more appropriate and how the effect will be better, but the demonstration..."

Hugo's brilliant laughter came from the microphone, "Actually, I'm an amateur, otherwise, I'll try to see if the effect is not good, how about adjusting it?" As long as I can really learn something, Hugo doesn't mind investing more energy to study. Even geniuses require 99% of sweat, and Hugo has no reason not to work hard.

"Very good." Mark immediately replied happily.

Joseph began to feel his butt hurt when he sat on the sofa. Although the sofa was soft, he sat here without moving for a long time and felt his muscles start to stiffen. But this is not his home. He couldn't lie on the sofa to relax. What's more, Hugo was still working hard, and Joseph didn't want to relax too much, although he couldn't hear any difference in Hugo's performance every time.

Hugo re-performed over and over again in the recording studio. Occasionally, Joseph could hear the difference, such as Hugo speeded up the beat or added a resounding spear when singing; but more often, Joseph was confused. Looking at Hugo and Mark who were discussing heatedly, he didn't know what these two people were talking about in a passionate manner - it was obvious that several versions were almost the same!

In fact, Hugo's voice is integrated into the melody, with a very comfortable sound quality, warm and bright, just like the sunlight leaking from the crack, clear but brilliant. Moreover, Hugo's singing style is not greasy, as pure as the dewdrops from the grass at 6 o'clock in the morning. This refreshing feeling is refreshing. But it is precisely because of the lack of singing skills that Hugo constantly discusses the details of the interpretation with Mark, and carves the way of interpreting the entire song bit by bit.

This process is not interesting, but it is also very boring and even boring.

But Joseph could see Hugo's dedication and concentration. Hugo Joseph is not unfamiliar with this kind of Hugo recently. When he was preparing to audition for "Smell the Scent and Know the Women", when he was reading the script of "Yihai Xiongfeng", and when he discussed acting with Jack Nicholson, now, Hugo is devoted to the study of music.

Joseph could feel that maybe Hugo didn't understand many things at the beginning, maybe Hugo was just a new beginner, but he didn't mind learning from scratch. During the recording period, he could clearly feel Hugo's progress. He was like a dry lake, watering the clear spring water at a speed visible to the naked eye, allowing the sun to fall on the calm lake surface with stars.

Although Hugo only recorded a song, he discussed it with Mark for three quarters of a minute, and sang it for at least thirty times. Not to mention the singer, even the audience Joseph was about to vomit, which was quite a sense of horror of a magical sound. When the two of them joined forces to complete the recording of "Next.You.See.Me", both of them showed a satisfied expression on their faces, and Joseph showed a relieved expression, as if saying "The torture is finally over."

"Hugo, you should really look for a professional vocal teacher... No, you are a natural singer. If you rely on your own talent to slowly think about it, you will soon shine. But you should indeed look for a professional recording engineer. You must know that during the recording process, the help professionals can provide is definitely not just technical. My guest recording engineer is still not at the level." Mark is a very honest person. He sincerely expressed his views on Hugo, and his sincere face made it difficult to refuse.

Looking at Hugo with a smile in front of him, Mark could see the young shyness on that sunny face. Hugo was still a little uncomfortable in the face of his praise. But Hugo did not refute or refuse modestly, which shows that although it is insignificant, Hugo has begun to have a little bit of confidence, at least he hopes to believe in himself deep in his heart. This is a good thing.

"I think Rob will be very happy." Hugo changed the topic indirectly, and was still a little embarrassed after all, "at least it means that the movie doesn't have to worry about the theme song anymore. Also, I can use additional income, which is a good deal."

Hugo's honest answer made Mark laugh readily, "This is undoubtedly." Mark looked at Joseph who stood up, knowing that they were about to leave, so he did not politely try to keep him, "Then you leave first, I will continue my music work, this is a long journey."

Mark said goodbye with neatness a bit like rushing Hugo and Joseph to leave, but after a brief time together just now, Hugo knew that this was Mark's personality, so he didn't say anything more, "Good luck!" After saying that, he left the recording studio with Joseph.

Walking on the road to leave, looking at Hugo with relaxed steps, Joseph couldn't help but ask curiously, "Will you become a singer in the future?" This is not the first time Hugo has shown his talent in music, from "Second Chance" to "Don't be upset about the past (Don't.Look.Back.In.Anger). Although Joseph's understanding of music is very limited, this does not prevent him from understanding Hugo's talent in this area.

When he first heard Hugo say that he had created a "second chance", Joseph sneered, thinking that Hugo was just a fun vote, but now, Joseph has no way to continue thinking like this.

"Maybe." Hugo said easily. If it was the days when he had just traveled over, he would have answered "Yes", but after several months of precipitation and the Alje incident of the "Yihai Xiongfeng" crew, Hugo knew that the earth did not revolve around him, even if he was a time traveler. Therefore, instead of being too hasty, it would be better to slowly explore it.

Hugo looked at Joseph and expressed his thoughts for the first time, "Haha, actually I would rather form a band."

"Rock?" This is the first thought that came to Joseph's mind.

"Yes." Hugo also answered simply, "But I have to correct you, not all bands are rock." In fact, the term band now generally refers to rock bands. Bands that cover lead singers, guitars, keyboards, bass, drums and other instruments are also the most complete form of rock music. But in addition to rock, there are also bands that choose musical styles such as jazz and pop.

But as for Hugo himself, glory to death is a rock band, which is undoubtedly. Of course, they have tried other music styles in their ten years of career, which is an inevitable process on the road of music exploration.

"It's not that easy," said Joseph. Most of the bands were made up of like-minded partners, but Hugo is now an actor and has no musical friends around him, so it's not that easy to form a band.

The band is not just about shooting movies, just recruiting a group of actors to gather together. The band represents a style, a fusion and convergence of the styles of all members. Therefore, the band is indeed not that simple, which also makes Hugo miss his teammates who are glorious to death more and more.

How great it would be to form a band in Los Angeles, a group of friends who gather for the same musical dream, discuss music together, create music together, and tour together, even if the band has been struggling in the underground rock music industry namelessly like glory until death, it doesn't matter, because the journey of band partners taking together for music is the most important.

"I know, so it's hard to create." Hugo joked with a smile, "I don't think I have the ability to become a singer now. So when Rob gave me this opportunity, I thought he was joking." Although he had accumulated some confidence, Hugo is still a little uncomfortable with the lead singer position. If he formed a band at this time, Hugo would of course sit in the guitarist position.

"Will you continue to arrange work in the next period of time?" Hugo and Joseph got in the car. Hugo tied the seat belt and asked. Now "Yihai Xiongfeng" has also been completed. The expected holiday after "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women" should have come, right?

Sure enough, Joseph shook his head, "Let's take a break for a while. It's estimated that the movie release schedule will come out soon and it will be busy afterwards, so there is no need to arrange the itinerary now." The reason why he arranged the premiere of "The Final Analysis" before was because Joseph didn't know when "Smelling the Scent to Know Women" will be released, and Hugo needs continuous exposure, so he tried every means to arrange it. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly brought Hugo a "High-Royal" work.

"Promotion?" Hugo breathed a long sigh. He didn't feel much after the filming of the movie. However, when he learned that the movie was about to be released, the feeling of anxiety suddenly came. "It's really not easy." Hugo sighed, and then suddenly saw a black shadow in front of the car, and shouted, "Joseph, Eagle!"

Joseph was immediately frightened by Hugo and hurriedly stepped on the brakes. He didn't know what was going on, because he saw nothing, but after parking, he saw a sparrow parked lightly at the front of the car. He looked around for a while, and gave Hugo and Joseph a contemptuous look, then flapped his wings and flew away.
