Chapter 2139： Special invitation

Henry adjusted his position on the sofa a few times, until he forced Hugo and Fogin into the corner, and finally found the most comfortable posture, which stopped...but Pedro and Neil were still In the dispute, he even came to the front of the instrument, planning to enter the actual combat exercise directly, completely ignoring Henry, who had just arrived on the scene.

Hugo and Fugin had long been accustomed to Henry's laziness, and didn't care at all, but neither of them was willing to stand up either, they just adjusted their positions passively, appreciating the quarrel between Pedro and Neil with relish.

Seeing Alfonso standing next to him, he didn't even bother to roll his eyes. He just thought that this group were all lunatics, and he was "unfortunately" one of them.

Henry finally stopped, lifted his chin, and gestured to the two people who were practicing the arrangement, "You are preparing the album now, are you preparing for the real meaning? Or are you preparing for the studio practice?" Before this, there were many glory to death. Entered the recording studio to discuss music creation issues, but it was all discussions within the band, and they never really started the preparations for the fourth album.

Hugo shrugged, "Is there any difference?" A sentence made Henry roll his eyes silently, or Alfonso took the initiative to say, "Formal preparations. We have selected twenty alternative tracks. Now we are integrating the style and core of the entire album."

In three years, Hugo has created at least 80 or more songs; Fukuin and Neal have also created more than 100 songs, and even Pedro and Alfonso have begun to try some creations. In order to select suitable works, they have to audition, discuss, and distinguish each song one by one. The whole process can be said to be fun and exciting.

Among the final twenty songs, Hugo contributed eight, Neal had four, and Fukugin had five. In addition, Alfonso wrote two, and Pedro was also selected. Now Neal and Pedro are arguing about a song by Fukun called "We Made It". The two have their own opinions on the arrangement and are unwilling to give in.

Henry raised his eyebrows and lightly tapped his chin. "Good news." He knew that although Roger Fasson hadn't mentioned it, he was still very anxious. Now that I finally heard the news that the preparations for the fourth series of Glory to the Dead have begun, it is estimated that Roger will go to the high-end French restaurant to celebrate.

After speaking, Henry fell silent, staring at Pedro, who was recording directly with the bass behind his back, and Neil, who was absolutely focused in front of the recording station, as if he was paying attention to the creation of two people.

Hugo and Fujin didn't mind, and they whispered the song "We did it." In fact, this song is very special. It was created by Fu Jin after the first successful "Twisted Tour". At that time, Hugo was full of praise when he heard the master tape.

The theme of the song is to tell the story of an ordinary man who strives to be successful from the bottom of the street, but it is a metaphor for the rock music path that glorifies himself to the death, and also refers to the "twisted tour" that carries the dream of countless grassroots bands— -Their efforts finally paid off.

The completion of the whole song is very high, and the creation of the lyrics shows Fu Jin's profound insight. If the arrangement is proper, it will be a very outstanding work. Fujin’s original song adopts a mix of hard rock and pop styles, hoping to use drums to drive the passionate emotions. However, after entering the studio, everyone found that the arrangement of this kind of song was not easy, and the overall sense of rhythm was always lacking a little chemical reaction, which triggered a quarrel between Neil and Pedro.

However, Hugo and Fujin discussed briefly just now, and both believed that this was the reason for the overall arrangement, not that simple.

"I think this song should use more electronic DJing styles, use the chorus's harmony effect to bring out a sense of grandeur, and then add rap to control the rhythm, and make the new metal rock style more personalized. "Hugo's words made Fujin fall into contemplation, frowning slightly, "Join rap? You mean, rewrite the lyrics of rap and use rap and harmony to personalize it?"

Hugo nodded. In fact, rap rock has always been a very important part of the new metal rock. "Burn. It." and "One. Step." have appeared in succession to the death of glory. Rap elements are incorporated into the works. However, the band has never had a track that truly combines rap and **** rock, and Fujin's creation makes up for this gap.

Fujin had to admit that Hugo's idea was very bold, and vaguely felt that it was a correct idea. Hugo's understanding of music is indeed rich and profound, unique and clear, "Then who do you think should be used to cooperate with rap?"

"Papa bragging?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and said directly, which made Fujin glance at Hugo-this opening is the top figure in the rap world, and the level is really different.

Alfonso stood by and looked at the extremely calm expressions of these three people on the sofa. He only felt a pain in the egg, and then coughed slightly, "Henry, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

Henry was still stunned when he heard this question, and then he reacted, "Yes, Hugo, I have something to tell you." Hugo and Fujin temporarily stopped discussing, turned their heads and looked over, Henry was nervous. Then he said, "The Super Bowl halftime show has sent an invitation, I hope the band can perform on stage."

"Super Bowl?" It was Alfonso who made the sound, and he looked very surprised, "We have reached this level?"

Henry glanced back at Alfonso, and said lightly, "Now in the United States, no one except us can reach this level." That strong self-confidence and domineering revealed unquestionable firmness, directly let Alfonso Suo choked, think about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the truth.

The Super Bowl is the most grand event in the United States every year. Since the birth of the Super Bowl in 1967, this has been the highest-rated program in the United States. It has not been one of them. It has firmly occupied the top ranking in the United States in the past forty years. One person, no one can waver, after entering the 1990s, the number of viewers can even exceed 100 million. It is no exaggeration to say that more than one-third or even one-quarter of Americans will watch every year. Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl is even bigger than Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Since the first Super Bowl, the concept of the midfield show was born, but the first three were completed by college bands, and the first star midfield show appeared in the fourth. The guest was Carol Channing. (.) However, most of the time it was mainly based on performance groups. Until 1989, Paul Tarib (Paul.) became the second president of the Super Bowl era. He combined the Super Bowl and the superstar of the show business. After being closely linked, the charm of this event in the United States reached its peak, and it was dubbed the "American Spring Festival Gala" by people.

Michael Jackson served as the guest of the 1993 halftime show and sang four songs in total, attracting 130 million viewers, which also created the pinnacle of American television history.

Now, the artists who can attend the Super Bowl halftime show are considered to be the leaders of the entire North American continent. Even if the music legend Steve Wander played in the midfield show last year, they still invited four other top superstars to join the show. , Once again brought the star brilliance of the halftime show to the extreme.

However, as Henry said, at present, the entire North American region, if glory to death does not qualify for the Super Bowl halftime show, then no one is so qualified. In fact, in 1997 and 1998 for two consecutive years, calls for glory to death on stage continued, but the NFL has its own considerations-in the Super Bowl halftime show over the years, there has never been a rock The band has been on stage, never!

Even the Beatles, even the Rolling Stones, and even the Blacksmiths in the Sky have never accepted an invitation. Because when the Super Bowl halftime show entered the All-Star era, the golden age of rock and roll was far away, so the superstars who appeared on the halftime show included country, blues, pop, and rhythm and blues, but there has never been any rock band or rock. The singer stepped onto the stage.

The market appeal of rock is a huge question mark. Whether a rock band can ignite the enthusiasm of the entire North American continent on such a grand stage of the halftime show, no one can guarantee. Since taking office, Paul Tarib has always insisted on taking the line of superstars in the midfield show and maximizing the commercial value of the Super Bowl as much as possible. He is naturally unwilling to take this risk, even if the glorious and deadly influence in the past two years has been It has reached its peak, but the Super Bowl has never extended an olive branch to the rock band that made history The Super Bowl is the pinnacle of American business activities, and it is also the focus and recognition of American society. The pinnacle is recognized by the Super Bowl, even if it can be regarded as the recognition of the entire American mainstream society-even stronger than the influence of the Oscar.

Now, the Super Bowl has issued an invitation to Glory to Death for the first time, and it is also the first time in history that it has issued an invitation to a rock band. This is not only a breakthrough in the Super Bowl, but also the peak of the rock recovery momentum in the past two years. A landmark moment, which means that since the golden age of rock and roll in the 70s, rock and roll has once again created its own peak years in the 90s.

Therefore, even for Alfonso, the first reaction was very unexpected. This is a historic breakthrough-not only for glory to death, but also for the entire rock market.

On the surface, Henry was very calm and calm, but in fact, he was unavoidably surprised when he heard the news. Even his heart began to tremble slightly. Such a historical moment was indeed too important. However, Henry hid his emotions very well at this time, and did not have too many fluctuations, but looked at Hugo, "So, what do you think? By the way, it is not a platter show, it is like Michael Jackson. Support the whole performance alone."
