Chapter 310

At the end of the lunch, only Hugo and Charlize ate together. Carl took Alex to San Francisco to audition for an episode. Joseph temporarily received a call from the company and needed him to go back to deal with some things. Hugo and Charlize were left at home, and Hugo made two spaghetti with steak, even if they had settled their lunch.

After Charlize fell asleep, Hugo finished washing and walked out of the 'door' to the bus stop. Then he boarded the No. 4 bus and staggered towards the poor street.

The noon sun was lazy, and the early'spring' footsteps were faintly sounded on the streets of Los Angeles along with the sound of'waves'. Hugo wore a black'stick' cap. Then I sat by the window, quietly watching the scenery outside the window, slowly backing away, and occasionally I could see noisy neighborhoods or lively street shooting. Compared with the cold and solemn New York, the sun was shining and the waves sounded. The bursts of Los Angeles are permeated with a lazy and casual, even the steps of people walking on the streets seem to be a lot lighter.

In Los Angeles, 'spacing' enough time, sitting under the 'dew' parasol of a certain coffee house, sitting in a daze for an afternoon, doing nothing but a daze, there was no sense of disobedience. Of course, the handsome 'women' that can be seen everywhere on the streets also show that this is a city that is full of enthusiasm because of movies and music. The charm of the city of angels slowly reveals the mystery in the sun-dyed picture.

It takes less than half an hour to drive from Sunset Plaza to Qiongjie, but it's not that fast if you take the public "Jiao" pass. It takes at least 80 minutes before and after, and not counting the need to transfer to the 20th road in the middle. Time for the bus. Fortunately, Hugo is not in a hurry at all. On the contrary, he slowed his pace and enjoyed the time when he was traveling in this city. In fact, occasionally looking for an afternoon, sitting in an unfamiliar public car, to a corner of the city where I live, and wandering around. This is a very wonderful idea.

By the time Hugo came to the Al Bar, it was already past three in the afternoon. By opening the swaying western-style'door' in front of the'door', you can see the regular customers in the bar. , There were not many people, sitting scattered on the deck with a glass of beer in front of them, chatting boredly, and when they heard someone coming in, they all cast their sights and realized that it was Hugo. He picked up the wine glass on the table and said hello to Hugo.

Hugo looked around and found Neil Anderson and Pedro Casa in the deck next to the clearing on the left hand side. He would come out at this time because Neil called him to make an appointment. Meet. Hugo walked to the bar and looked around, but didn't find the owner Green Hill. "e, Super Al isn't there?" Standing at the counter today is the permanent bartender in the shop, Eric Walter. er), everyone is used to calling him "e".

Eric stood on the spot wiping the beer glass, smiled and said, "He has a date." After that, he blinked at Hugo, which seemed meaningful, apparently teasing his boss. Hugo chuckled lightly, "Give me a beer." Eric quickly poured Hugo a glass of beer from the tap, walked over slowly, and said to Hugo with a smile, "It's really a stimulus. Travel, isn't it?" Then he handed the beer to Hugo.

Hugo was at a loss for Eric's words, and didn't understand where Eric's words came from, but after Eric had finished speaking, he turned around and went back to continue his work, so Yu Guo did not continue to ask, but walked in the direction of Neil and Pedro with a beer.

When Hugo approached, he heard Neil say with a serious face, "Don't you think it's worth it?"

Pedro, however, looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, and finally said, "Do you think we must have a chance to stand under the spotlight?"

"It is because we are not sure whether we have a chance, so we should take precautions. If Hugo's music is liked by other singers, then it will not be snatched away by others. Maybe it can be done for Hugo. Earn some money!" Neal's emotions are not as'excited' as Pedro, he can always maintain a certain sense of reason. "So, you didn't understand me. My point is, don't you think Hugo's music has this value?"

Seeing Pedro's angrily expression, Hugo put down the beer glass and said with a smile, "Maybe it's more appropriate for me to judge." Hugo sat down next to Neal and faced Peder. Ronal's childish expression puffed up his lips and asked, "What's wrong with this guy?"

"Hugo!" Pedro was obviously very dissatisfied with Hugo's act of pushing all the blame on him, and shouted depressedly.

Instead, Neil was amused by Pedro's expression. "We are just discussing whether your music should be copyrighted. I think the quality of your music is excellent, in order to prevent others from plagiarizing and using it. , So it's better for you to hold the copyright in your hand. After all, your situation is special. You are an actor with a very high exposure rate. People always hope to pull some'messy' things on you."

Neil didn't say much, but Hugo understood what he meant. In fact, the gentlemen in the underground rock music circle still occupy the majority. Most people's music does not have a registered copyright, because they are not eligible for distribution, and they are unwilling to sell their songs to large companies, so registered copyrights are useless. But there are always a few mouse **** in any field, and plagiarism and plagiarism are always inevitable, especially the cultural property rights of music, it is more and more unclear.

"But Pepe believes that we didn't even form a band, and the copyright registration is simply a waste of money, and it also costs a lot of money. It's not worth it." Neal said simply, Pei Dro sat on the opposite side and nodded angrily, "I'm right. The corners of the Copyright Office are the most troublesome, and they are costly. We don't know if we can perform on stage. Let's start now. Speaking of copyright, isn't it too early!"

Hugo himself did not think about this issue. In the past, the copyright awareness in China was not very clear, and their Glory to Death band is not a super big name with amazing 'brilliant' talents. How can there be so many plagiarism incidents that need to be prevented. But when Neil also mentioned this, Hugo had to think about it.

"What you said makes sense. Neil's idea is correct. Prepare early; Peppa is also right. Now I am worried that this seems unnecessary." Hugo nodded slightly, "But then again, Although it takes some money to register copyright, I can still afford it, but does my music really have the value of copyright registration?"

"Of course!" This time, Neil and Pedro said in unison, obviously on this point the two people are in agreement.

Hugo shrugged, "Then register the copyright. Anyway, I don't have much of my creations." Hugo knows that cultural copyright is very important, especially in Western societies where copyright protection is relatively complete. It is necessary to hold the right in the hand. That being the case, let's do as the locals do. "Although I don't think anyone really wants to plagiarize my music." Hugo added with a smile.

Seeing that Neal and Pedro seemed to have something to say, Hugo interrupted the two of them. "But why do you two talk about copyright? Pepe is right. Our band has not yet formed. Get up, isn't it too early to say this?"

Neil pointed to the newspaper on the desk, "I just said that your situation is too special, with such a high exposure rate, if we don't prepare early, we will easily be caught off guard." Hugo took the newspaper. In front of me, I heard Neal continue to say, "Speaking of a nasty thing, I or Pepe secretly took your music to register the copyright. As a result, you can only find it hard to tell."

"Neil! I wouldn't be like this." Pedro said hastily, obviously dissatisfied with Neil's example.

Neil shrugged indifferently. In many cases, actions were more effective than promises. "I'm just giving you an example."

Hugo was surprised that the newspaper in front of him was the "New York Times". He raised his head and replied to Neal, "If the copyright of a piece of music destroys a friendship, then the price is not high." Rain Although Guo has not known Neil and Pedro for long, he is still willing to trust these two partners. Besides, if the two parties really broke up because of the copyright of a piece of music, then the band will definitely not be able to last for a long time. It is better to see the other side's true face early.

Hugo's words made Pedro nodded vigorously, repeatedly saying "Yes," while Neil sat next to him without speaking, but the agreement in his eyes couldn't be more clear.

Talking~www.mtlnovel.com~ Hugo has finished reading this "New York Times" news, and it is actually a report of him and Fu Jin performing on the streets of New York. Obviously, the reporters of the "New York Times" are very concerned about Hugo and Fu. King was very interested in the sensation he caused. He believed that Hugo once again used his own strength to prove his musical talent after the "Oprah Talk Show". At the same time, he also thinks that this street performance is the most powerful response to the "plagiarism rumors" raised by the National Inquirer, because Hugo caused a storm with his solid performance in front of dozens of ordinary audiences.

This news report of less than 300 words is not very long, but it highly praises the live performances of Hugo and Fujin, and believes that Hugo can form a band to enter the music scene.

"Wow, I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly." In this age of relying on paper media to transmit information, Hugo was very surprised by this.

Neil pointed to the newspaper, "I am even more curious about what is going on..."

"Yes, yes!" Pedro repeatedly nodded in agreement, apparently forgetting the argument with Neal just now, and asked with excitement, "How can you and Fujin perform together? Yes, the song you performed is called... "Li (), what's the matter?"
