Superstar

Henry Bloom fell into the softness of the back of the sofa. The messy clothes and blankets around him completely submerged him like a bunker made up of garbage dumps, but he half-closed his eyes and looked at the TV screen comfortably, lazily. The casual appearance is like falling asleep, but if you look carefully, you can find that the focus of his eyes is not on the TV at all, but is completely immersed in his thoughts.

Rubbing his temples gently, rough fingertips stimulated the acupuncture points to keep him awake, but after thinking about it, he still grabbed the mobile phone in his hand, dialed the number, and put it to his ear. After a short while, the call was connected, and Henry said in a deep voice, "It's me, Henry."

"Henry, why are you thinking about it soon?" Neil's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, I didn't think about it, but I think I still need to communicate with you." Henry was still trapped in the sofa bunker, his eyes half closed, and his voice was too lazy, but he could feel his attention. "Where are you now? Why are there strange noises beside you?"

"We are on Route 50 and want to find a suitable place to record. Alfonso and Pedro are asking a group of Mexicans in Spanish, including two Indians, who are learning how to greet. "Neil laughed and said, the whole person seemed very relaxed, "So, what do you want to communicate with us? We have already told you about the whole situation."

"Neil, I think I need to talk to Hugo." Although Henry was too lazy, he felt cold and harsh when doing things.

Neil didn't mind, and said directly, "Wait." Then he took the phone and shouted at Hugo, who was gesticulating, "Hugo, Henry's call."

Hugo didn’t know what he was learning. After a series of strange actions, the group of people burst into laughter. Neil walked over, handed the phone to Hugo, and then “squeezed” Hugo out and let him go aside. To answer the phone, I joined everyone in the conversation.

Hugo looked at Neil, who was occupying his position, and shouted a strange language, which caused the two Indians to respond loudly. Hugo smiled and walked aside, "Henry, here is rain." fruit."

You can feel the joy on the other end through the microphone of your mobile phone, but Henry was not originally a curious personality, so he didn’t ask much, and just said, “So, tell me again, are you planning to record? Studio album or live album?"

Just now Hugo called Henry to explain the current huge plan of glory to death. As the agent of glory to death, Henry shoulders the heavy responsibility of dealing with EMI records. If glory to death wants to release a new album in this way, EMI is bound to nod, so Henry is the key figure.

However, it is clear that Henry did not fully understand the intention of Glory to Death.

Hugo was not surprised either. After all, this idea was too shocking. Even Fujin and the others did not fully understand Hugo’s intentions, "Studio Album."

"Then I don't understand, why you want to record outdoors, it just makes the sound quality of the album drop to a bad level, not even as good as a live album." Henry frowned slightly, and he was about to cooperate with Glory To Death. In three years, this is the first time Henry has failed to comprehend Hugo's ideas. This is definitely an idea that transcends the times.

Hugo was not angry, but chuckled, "Henry, you should know that the recording studio can guarantee the sound quality, but it cannot give the music real vitality. The kind that comes from the neighborhood, from nature, from life, from The vitality of the performance will make the music come alive."

"I know." Henry was rarely anxious for a while. Although his words were still lazy, his speaking rhythm was a little faster, revealing his confusion at this time.

For music, some people simply like music. Professional recording studios can guarantee the perfect sound quality and present the most beautiful side of music. However, more people like live performances because performances can give the music soul. A bridge is built between the performer and the audience to truly present the most essential aspect of music-perhaps not perfect, but it can move the soul most.

Of course Henry knew this simple truth, but he still couldn't understand Hugo, "Of course I know, but since you want this effect, you should record a live album, right?"

"Henry, listen to me..." Hugo scratched his head and laughed. Hugo knew that it was very important for Henry to understand their intentions, because Henry was the one who had the ability to make EMI understand Glory to Death. Before that, the communication between Glory to Death and Henry had been smooth, but this time Encountered a problem.

"We are not recording live albums. The live albums show the essence and atmosphere of the band's live performances, but we are really recording regular albums, simply moving the recording studio outdoors." Hugo explained patiently. "Professional recording studios are a completely quiet environment, but outdoor recording studios have a uniqueness that cannot be replicated. Even in the same location, different time periods of the same day will present different background sounds, every minute and every second. The sense of presence that time is passing by, the breath of life that cannot be replicated, and the sense of bumps on the road all the time, make every'outdoor recording studio' unique, and this special, also It is the mark of glory to death, and we hope to keep this mark in this album."

Hugo’s words calmed Henry, but this time, he adjusted his sitting posture. Although he was still leaning on the sofa, but the whole person sat upright. He vaguely understood what Hugo said, but all this was too much. After being abstract, it is difficult for him to describe clearly in his mind, which makes understanding very difficult. This is normal, because not everyone can create music, not everyone can lead the rise of new metal rock, and not everyone is Hugo Lancaster.

Hugo also seems to know that Henry is difficult to understand directly. It is never a simple matter to turn abstraction into concreteness. "Henry, do you remember our first encounter? Why did you choose our band instead of any other A band? Or, we are not Mariah Carey, nor can we be Mariah Carey."

Although Glory to Death is now in full swing, and has repeatedly gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Maria, objectively speaking, Maria's interpretation is popular, and the market acceptance is much higher than that of rock. In terms of mass base, it is almost impossible for Glory to Die to defeat Maria. Even if Glory to Die sells more albums, it still falls short in terms of singing rate, listening rate, and dissemination. . This is a fact.

Hugo unexpectedly mentioned Maria, which caught Henry by surprise. Originally, he thought he didn't care anymore, but deep down in his heart, maybe the wound of betrayal still couldn't recover. But Henry knew that Hugo was not malicious. He took a deep breath and let his thoughts come back, "Because I see that kind of attachment in you, just like your name."

Although Henry's answer is simple, it contains too much, and it is also the reason why Henry and Glory to the death have been happily working together during the past period-because Henry and Glory to the death pursue the same thing.

"But, in the past year, have you seen the original obsession?" Hugo's rhetorical question is also very simple. In fact, as a bystander, Henry sees it more clearly than the person in the glory to death.

However, as an agent, the difference between Henry and Glory to Death is that Glory to Death must make a breakthrough, otherwise they will gradually die out; and Henry clearly knows that even if the quality of the third album of Glory to Death declines, as long as The publicity is good, relying on Hugo's strong appeal and the reputation of the first two albums, the third album will still be successful, so he is not in a hurry, not to mention, even if Henry wants to help, he can do nothing.

Therefore, Henry has always been relatively calm.

Hugo's rhetorical question made Henry thoughtful and faintly understood. Then Henry listened to Hugo and said, "You should know the importance of this road trip to our band, and you should also understand. This time outdoor recording is of great significance to the band."

"Of course ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I will not deny it. It is very likely that the result will be terrible. The recorded master tape is completely messed up and cannot be released at all." Hugo continued, he was always worried about this possibility. , After all, this is 1996. Leaving the studio environment and still wanting to ensure the sound quality is unimaginable, "but I believe that if this journey persists, we will find our spirit again to the death of glory. Then, What if it fails?"

Henry supported his chin and remained silent. He was digesting this huge amount of information bit by bit. "However, the reason I insist that this is a studio album is because I hope to be able to record successfully. It will be an honor. The spirit to death is truly revealed. Once it succeeds, it will be a breakthrough for the band. It is very likely to become our band’s best album, an album that cannot be copied."

Hugo's words made Henry's mouth involuntarily outline a smile. What I have to admit is that Henry did re-feel the spirit and temperament that made him excited in Hugo's voice. This may be a good thing. "However, Henry, if you want, I sincerely invite you to join us and listen to the master tape we have finished recording. You will understand everything. I hope you can help us convince EMI."

Henry? Lazily lying in bed 24 hours a day. Henry on? Road trip? Is this really good?
