Chapter 197： 7 steps

"Do we still have a choice?" Hearing Hugo's confident words, Oprah looked at Hugo somewhat unexpectedly.

Holding the guitar, Hugo's tension calmed down. Although this is not his own guitar, it is the instrument he is most familiar with, and it always brings him a sense of security. "Yes, it is." Hugo A smile appeared on his face, relaxing his mood, "Usually I try to create something myself, and occasionally try to adapt some classic old songs, "Next time you meet me (e), it’s such an old song." , I didn’t want to but was accidentally caught by the crew and became the ending theme of the movie."

"Creation?" Oprah obviously did not expect such a surprise. "Wow, that would be great. Can you create a song for us live?"

"Live?" Hugo was stunned. He had never accepted such a challenge, but remembered that the song "Sterilize the Hero (... was also a live creation, so Hugo laughed, "It seems You have made higher demands of me."

In fact, Hugo originally just wanted to play his previous creation, which is also a kind of challenge to himself. But I didn't want to, Hugo digs pits and jumps on his own, Oprah takes advantage of the situation and proposes to create on the spot. Since this is the possibility of'sex' proposed by herself, Hugo naturally has no need to shrink back or continue to be humble. Hugo said with a smile, "This is a very strict requirement. I don't know if I can I can do it, but I am willing to try.” Although the words remained polite and humble, the confidence and firmness in his smile revealed Hugo's true emotions at this time.

In front of 10 million TV viewers, trying to create a song on the spot, such an arduous challenge is not everyone can bear. Regardless of whether Hugo's attempt was successful or not, having the courage to meet such a challenge is an important manifestation of Hugo's rising self-confidence. It can be felt that Hugo is also growing in the year after passing through.

"This is really too harsh. In fact, this is only your first public performance on a show. If you feel too stressed, you can try it your own way. You know, no matter what, we don’t. Any loss.” Oprah’s hosting style is still based on “spring” weather and rain, so she did not encourage the audience to booze again, but eased the atmosphere of the scene.

Hugo looked at Oprah’s smile and couldn’t help but laughed out, “Don’t worry about me, maybe I created a song “Ding Dong Bell (...bell), that’s also a good choice.” Hugo said. It is a famous American nursery rhyme.

Oprah immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "That is also a very gratifying result. You must know that it is not so easy to create a song "Happy Birthday to you (happy... t0.)." One sentence said. The truth made the audience laugh.

Hugo took a deep breath. With the advancing of time, the enthusiasm of just now gradually dissipated, and the urgency of creation gradually'approached', and the pressure on his shoulders began to gradually increase. It was difficult enough to play in public for the first time. Yes, and I chose the stage on the "Oprah Talk Show", which is the pinnacle of self-challenge. But Hugo is actually not enough. Now he has to compose a song on the spot. This is really a model of self-torture.

Although there is absolutely no problem with Hugo performing "second chance (.cha...in.anger, because no one will know if it was created by Hugo on the spot, but Hugo still wants to try and see. If you think of a shortcut to jump over when it is difficult, you will never succeed. Be brave and face the challenge, no matter what the result is, at least you have to work hard before you know it.

"So, give me a theme." Hugo looked at Oprah holding the guitar, and said calmly.

Oprah nodded slightly, "Yes, any song must have a theme." Oprah also did not expect such a situation to occur, which was impossible to predict before the show was recorded, but this It is bound to become a hot spot in the ratings of the program, because even the program group itself is full of expectations, "I originally wanted you to create a song for our program, but later I thought that this might not be so appropriate, so , I thought of a topic."

To create with the theme of "Oprah Talk Show", then it loses the meaning of emergencies. It is easy for the audience to think that Hugo had created the song before the show was recorded, and everything that happened on the show was acting— -Even if the actual situation is fundamentally true. Therefore, Oprah took the initiative to give up this opportunity, she must focus on the overall situation.

"You know, it’s December, and Chicago’s winter is not easy." Oprah continued. "But before I came to record the show today, I heard an unfortunate but funny news, my good friend Maria , Actually got sunburn at home, not in Miami, but in Chicago, this is really a dumbfounding situation. Maria fell asleep while basking in the sun on the balcony of her home, and when she woke up, she realized that she had a sunburn on her shoulder. , I laughed a full quarter of an hour in the lounge because of this."

Listening to Oprah's description, all the audience burst into laughter. Even Hugo, who had been nervous, couldn't help but laugh. In this weather, it is not easy to get sunburn even in sunny Los Angeles. Frostbite is more reliable. But someone got a sunburn in Chicago, which is really funny.

"So, sunburn (sunburn), can you use this as a theme to create a song?" Oprah turned his gaze to Hugo, cast an inquiring gaze, "Of course, or something like winter sun. The theme is also a good choice." Oprah took the initiative to provide Hugo with more possibilities of'sex', and the main reason was that she had no bottom in her heart, and no one in her heart.

Can Hugo sing? This is a fact that was only known after the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng"; Hugo can create? This is a fact that was only known a minute ago. As for Hugo's singing and creative ability, no one knows. Just "Next Time You Meet Me" is not worth mentioning.

Oprah's palms are also a little sweaty now, she has bet all the treasures of this show on this gimmick, success or failure depends on this one action, if Hugo completely fails, then she still has to think about how to make the scene come back. After all, "Oprah Talk Show" has never been a show that expects entertainers to come and watch. Therefore, Oprah, who has no bottom, even though he has seen too many strong winds and waves, his muscles are still tight at this moment, and he can clearly feel that the tendons in his back are completely stretched and straightened.

"Sunburn?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and repeated, Oprah really gave him a problem.

Hugo sat on the sofa, thought about it carefully, and started to tune the strings. The audience couldn't help but calm down. This quiet made Hugo's thoughts begin to concentrate, but for a while, there was really not enough clear thinking in his head. . Hugo had never felt such a situation before. Sitting on the spot just to come up with a creative inspiration, his thoughts seemed to have stopped. Hugo knew that he had to become active and let his thoughts turn, otherwise he would have nothing. reward.

So Hugo looked at Oprah, and signaled whether he could stand up and walk a little bit. Oprah naturally agreed. Perhaps, walking a little bit can help thinking, as this is a recorded program, whether such behavior is appropriate is not in the scope of Hugo's consideration.

The director of the program group looked at Oprah and asked Oprah’s opinion. Oprah nodded slightly, then motioned with his eyes to let the camera lock on Hugo: witnessing Hugo’s creative process with his own eyes, regardless of the final product. This is a memorable scene of the show.

Under the gaze of the camera, under the gaze of all the audience, Hugo stood up holding the guitar, and stepped to the left.

The first step, what is sunburn? Simply put, it is the burning of the skin caused by excessive sun exposure.

So, what are the symptoms of sunburn? This is the second step. The skin becomes red, peeling, and burning. In fact, the sunburn does not seem to be serious on the surface, but the needle-like sting penetrates under the skin from the ‘flesh’. You can feel the pain from the body to the soul, and even leave sunburn.

The third step, in other words, a sunburn is an injury that is not obvious on the surface, at least not as terrible as cuts and stab wounds, and not bloody, but in fact, only oneself knows the real injury. The darkening of the skin and the sunburn left behind are even unnoticeable at first, and this will only show up after the time has settled.

Thinking of this, Hugo's footsteps stopped, and his first inspiration for the theme of "sunburn" came out in his head. Everyone on the scene stared with breathlessness. They couldn't help but relax their breath, and then relax, lest a little noise would disturb Hugo's creation, and the inner expectation began to roll with Hugo's footsteps, step after step, It's such a simple pace, but it affects everyone's hearts.

Don't talk about the audience, even Oprah, even Joseph, could not help but stop breathing, looking forward to Hugo's creation, either blockbuster or disappointed.

Hugo turned around and walked towards the sofa again. The first step, then what does sunburn look like? Love is the most frequently used in creation. In fact, sunburn is like love. Many times you can't see the wound on the surface, but the heart is already riddled with holes and time has accumulated. It can heal the wound, but it leaves a mark after all, like a sunburn.

One more step, then what kind of situation is this in love? Hugo's mind is the first thing that comes to mind, but it is the situation of Maria just mentioned by Oprah, the sunburn in the winter,'yin' and cold. It's extremely hot.

Immediately after a small step, this kind of love does not mean that you do not love each other, but that you love each other deeply but hurt each other because of your inner struggle. The other party is in pain, and I am also in pain.

In the last step, Hugo returned to the sofa. I originally thought that I didn't love and hurt the other person. After the other person turned and left, I realized that it wasn't that I didn't love each other. I had been loving each other deeply, but the way of loving was different. So, begging the other party not to leave yourself, begging the other party not to give up on yourself, just a little lesson to yourself, and then return to yourself. Just like a sunburn, the pain goes deep into the bone marrow, leaving a mark like a brand, but love does not break completely.

In seven steps, Hugo has countless ‘chaotic’ thoughts in his mind, which are connected one by one with musical notes, and the melody flows along the fingertips.
