Chapter 945： Series 2 prologue

\"&The summer of 1994 has always been shrouded in heat. From the summer of the movie market, to the four-year World Cup, to the endless classics, there will be exciting news almost every week. The third week of August is no exception.

"" has returned to the top of the North American weekend box office rankings for the second time after it was released, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars, becoming one of the most powerful works of this year. Different from the works of "", "", and "", "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King" are absolutely orthodox kings, so these two works undoubtedly inspired the entire North American movie. The enthusiasm of the market, its influence even surpassed the "Schindler's List" at the end of last year, and achieved the glory of 1994.

However, the biggest news this week is not "", but the best news to restart the "007" series. Unsurprisingly, the dinner at the private house of George-Lucas Malibu was exposed by the paparazzi.

Looking at the list of guests at this dinner, you know that the news cannot be hidden. Unless the paparazzi and media reporters in Los Angeles go into shock, the exposure of the news is a certainty. But the problem is that the paparazzi sneaked into the mansion without inquiring about any news. Almost all the waiters and all the service staff firmly believed that this was just a game for George.

But if the paparazzi gave up on this, there would be no "journalism". So, after digging deeply, they came to this amazing conclusion.

George had been with Barbara and Michael that night, and the number of people they talked to was countless, but several actors had a significantly longer conversation time. Among them, Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, Rain The four male actors of Guoyi are the most conspicuous because they are all topical figures in the near future-Pierce is because the conversation has been the longest, lasting nearly twenty minutes.

After that, the paparazzi discovered Sam Neal, Mel Gibson, and a few third-rate actors who were not up to this level but were able to attend the dinner—including Pierce, so the answer is Stand out, even if they don't know what other actors are participating in the audition, but obviously this is the selection meeting of the new "007".

"" The news was first reported, and then confirmed by the "New York Times", and it spread throughout the United States in an instant.

Almost everyone locked the news in the sentence, "Hugo becomes the new James Bond candidate." Undoubtedly, there is no actor who can compete with Hugo in the near term, so it is of course not. The big media have also adopted such eye-catching headlines. When Hugo and James Bond met, they produced a powerful one, and countless people joined the discussion.

I have to say that I played a good game.

Regardless of whether Hugo will eventually become James Bond, and whether people agree with Hugo, a young man under thirty years old, will play James Bond, but at least the topicality has already occupied the commanding heights. It is conceivable that the next An episode of James Bond is bound to attract countless eyeballs.

The third week of August was full of noise due to "" and "007", but at the end of this week, on Sunday, August 21st, EMI announced that the second album of glory to death will be coming soon. Issued on August 25th, this news completely ignited the end of summer, making people clearly feel the extremely hot summer.

Now, when people talk about glory to death, the first thing that comes to mind is the glory and grandeur of the "Road to Glory" tour, and the second thing that comes to mind is "Don't be upset by the past (, t...in. anger, Hugo is the third one to emerge.

It can be seen that glory to death has gradually got rid of Hugo's personal influence, relying on a tour and a single to establish its own image, which also means that glory to death truly has a place in the rock circle.

Therefore, when EMI announced that the second album of Glory To Death was about to be released, the entire music market was boiling.

At this time, less than ten months have passed since the release of "Almost Fame", and the second album will be released until the death of glory. Although the interval is relatively short in terms of time, it is considered normal. The most important thing is Or the quality of the second album, which is what everyone is looking forward to most: Can Glory to Death continue the excellent performance of "nearly famous"?

The "rotation" David-Marches and the "alternative" Vincent-Brook, the pair of enemies apparently collided again.

Although "alternative options" have also said good things about glory to death before, in fact, in essence, Vincent still does not think that glory to death music should be counted as rock.

In Vincent's view, the glorious music style is actually just rock elements, and then in order to win the favor of the market, shamelessly mixing different music elements, this is an absolute insult to rock. In this case, the second album of glory to death is bound to decline in quality, becoming more and more conventional, and more and more mediocre. "They will be immersed in the'new metal rock' music that they do, and Drunk lives and dreams of death, but they don't know. They are like those on the poor street who sleep in the garbage dump and think they are billionaires. Addiction sufferers."

Vincent firmly believes that with the development of a gloriously deadly music style, the quality of music will get worse and worse, and the technology that rock bands are proud of will gradually become mediocre, and will eventually become saliva music and be submerged in the music market. . The glorious second album will prove his view.

If Hugo read Vincent's comments, he would definitely applaud. Although Vincent's words are very ugly, he accurately predicted the future of new metal rock. In fact, this is also the biggest difference between Glory To Death and the later new metal rock: Glory To Death band members have not given up on honing their own skills, and their pursuit of music quality has not been relaxed with a little achievement. alert.

But objectively speaking, Vincent does have the strength. The "alternative option" can win the support of rock and roll fans, and it will last for a long time. This is all for a reason. From Vincent's accuracy to the creepy forecasting ability, it is admirable.

Relatively speaking, David-Marches is an unwavering supporter of Glory to Death. He believes that from the five tracks Hugo has released during the "Road to Glory" tour, this album is not only lacking in quality. Decline, on the contrary, it is a comprehensive upgrade. You can clearly feel the strength of the members of the glory to the death band-including Hugo himself.

In David's view, as a lead singer, Hugo is also growing. From the initial youthfulness to the full control now, Hugo's growth is not only rapid but also amazing; and as a sword author, he It's amazing to continue to maintain vitality. As long as Hugo can keep his head sober, he hasn't exploded until his death. poison. Scandal, even in the rock circle, then glory to death can continue this strength.

David and Vincent argued differently. In fact, this is also the state of rock fans. From the controversy that continued at the end of last year to now, there is still no conclusion-in fact, this will never result, even if n -Ten years later, there are still rock diehards who refuse to admit that new metal rock is part of them. And this time, there is another item in the debate: What will the quality of the second album of Glory To Death be? Will they continue to be "almost famous"?

Especially nowadays there is one of the most important things: a generation of Tianjiao Kurt-Kebain has disappeared, Nirvana has been like a piece of sand in the past few months, and Nirvana, who has lost its soul, can no longer regain its vitality, although Pearl Sauce The garbage band led by Alice Prisoners is still strong, but now the entire rock market is constantly innovating-the new generation of bands led by Pumpkin Broken and Glory To Death continue to attack, so the next rock market is also chaotic. .

In fact, the release of the second album of Glory To Death was nearly two months later than people expected. When the "Road to Glory" tour entered the second half of the tour in early July, the media actually began to report that the band would release the second album. The news came, and there was a lively discussion at that time.

People thought that EMI Records would strike while the iron was hot, but they did not expect that after more than a month of news hype, the summer would be over, and the news of the second album would be "long overdue." But it still caused a huge storm sturdily past the 200 million US dollars threshold, and Hugo recently made dating news with Cameron, and then he and James Bond had to Tell the story, so the news swept the North American continent as soon as it came out.

Some people who watch the excitement, those who watch good shows, those who look forward to the album, and those who are fanatical about the band... As August 25 approaches, the entire North American market is warming up. In order to welcome the arrival of the second album of glory to death.

On August 22nd, two groups of fans appeared on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles and Times Square in New York. There were probably less than two hundred fans. They all wore black plastic raincoats with a bulldog printed on their backs and the bulldogs had their mouths in their mouths. Wearing a bauhinia crown with the words "d. 0. g coming back soon" underneath, these people did nothing, just stood in place, allowing many pedestrians to stop and watch. They stood in place for nearly an hour, and even caused It was quite a sensation, and many people thought it was performance art, and it ushered in heated discussions among tourists and pedestrians.

Soon, people knew that this is not just a performance art, because on August 23, two groups of fans appeared at the same time in Seattle, Chicago, Houston and Miami. This time there were about three hundred people, and they also wore black plastic. The raincoat and the pattern behind it are exactly the same! (To be continued.
