Chapter 1323 1323 Long Bottleneck

Fukukin thought it was a little strange. In fact, in the past six months, although Hugo has been busy filming, he and Neil have been thinking about the third album. The problem is that Hugo never communicated with them about the idea and plan of the album, and Fukukin didn't think much about it, but today Hugo solemnly brought it up and vented it in Pedro. After finishing his inner anger and triggering the band's worries, Fu Jin inevitably didn't want to go deeper.

Hugo glanced at Fu Jin, but laughed, "Actually, when I was thinking about the third album, there were indeed some problems. It should be a bottleneck."

Hugo's words made Pedro exclaim directly, and looked at Hugo with an incredible expression, as if he had seen a prehistoric dinosaur, which made Hugo smile even more, "Why, I don't allow it. Is there a bottleneck? I'm not a superman, no, even a superman has his own problems."

"No... I mean... Hugo... You are Hugo!" Pedro said incoherently, panicking for a while, and finally he could only sit down on the sofa depressed, covering his face in annoyance. When I was depressed that I couldn't express myself clearly, I was still lamenting that Hugo had encountered a bottleneck.

Hugo restrained his smile, "During that time ago, I also encountered a bottleneck in the process of acting..." Hugo's words made the room completely quiet. Both Ernest and Fookin rushed to Baton Rouge, but unfortunately they couldn't help, and Hugo's situation was truly worrying.

This is one of the reasons why Neil broke out today. At present, Hugo is in a special period. As their glorious partners to death, if even they do not understand Hugo, then who else will they be praying for to become Hugo's backing? Pedro's complaints were clearly out of place.

Pedro also knew at this time that he had really been in trouble, and his whole body suddenly slumped. He leaned on the back of the sofa in annoyance, and kept peeking at Hugo, but he didn't dare to say anything to justify himself.

But Hugo didn't want to accuse Pedro, so he didn't stay on this topic for too long, and just went on, "Actually, I also encountered a bottleneck in music creation, I think it may be the whole situation now. , I was challenged both mentally and physically. After the whole person reached a certain height, I fell into a daze. From this perspective, the 'New York Post' statement is actually correct, and I did encounter trouble."

The "New York Post" statement about Hugo's "career decline theory" at the beginning of the year actually has some truth. Of course, it is not their absurd inference about the box office, but Hugo's psychological bottleneck. When the careers of actors and bands reached a brilliant peak, Hugo had a feeling of "being at the top of the mountain, and seeing the mountains and mountains". After three years of full-speed development in the acting career, Hugo finally reached an incredible peak. I started to feel tired - although Hugo didn't realize it at all, a deep sense of burnout had begun to take shape.

That's why Hugo would perform a Nirvana repertoire at the Grammys - in fact, "Youth Mind" is not the style of glory to death at all; so Hugo will actively want to be during the filming of "Seven Deadly Sins" Challenging acting skills, which led to the so-called "drama addiction", which peaked during the "death row".

In fact, this is Hugo's inner calling: he needs to break through, he needs to break down barriers, he needs to see a brand new world.

In terms of movie box office, Hugo has achieved countless glory, and the box office has further broken records. This requires historical timing and cannot be accomplished by a single actor, so Hugo can only break through acting skills, because He knows that he is still a long way from being a real actor; the same is true in terms of album sales. Rather than how to increase album sales, Hugo should focus more on breakthroughs in the style of the band, the quality of music, etc. .

It can be said that this year is a bottleneck year for Hugo. On the surface, Hugo seems to have a bright future, but the hardships and pains during the shooting of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Walk", the torture and suffering during the preparation of the third album, Only Hugo himself can deeply appreciate it.

"You should know that rock bands all have a 'three-album bottleneck'." Hugo's words attracted the attention of three people, "Yes, it's the one you think, I think, I should be facing such a dilemma."

Hugo and Henry talked about the bottleneck of the third album before, but Hugo did not clearly realize that it was not only the band's problem, but also his own problem. When the dreams he had been chasing had been realized one by one, Hugo was a little confused, and the huge success also made Hugo hesitate and become conservative.

"Actually, I've been thinking about the style of our third album. I've been composing since last year's 'Before Sunrise'. I've completed many tracks during this period, but it's always hard to find a clear idea." This is the first time Hugo has been candid about his thoughts and experiences over the past year and told a second person other than him. Because creation is the same as acting, there is no way for others to help, and only oneself seeks breakthroughs alone.

After the completion of "Before Sunrise", Hugo backpacked in Europe for a long time. During this period, Hugo composed many songs. In addition to the accumulation since the beginning of this year, Hugo currently has more than 50 songs in his hands. , it's not difficult at all to pick ten songs out of them to make up an album. But the problem is, Hugo needs to consider not only the quality of the song, but also the core idea of ​​the album, which is the soul of the band's music.

If Glory to Death was just an idol band, like the Jonas Brothers, a rock-n-roll, idol-oriented band, their third album wouldn't be a problem at all. But the problem is that the third album released in this way is bound to be a turning point in the decline of glory to death, just like Nirvana's third album "Ran. Lun" and fourth album "Zi. Gong. Inside", A clear reflection of Kurt Cobain's confusion and exhaustion.

The so-called bottleneck of the third album is not only a bottleneck in the creation of the third album, but also the inability of the third album to clearly express the future development direction of the band and the spirit of the band's implementation, and it also marks the gradual withering of the band's talent and The sincere and ambitious are reduced to mediocrity.

"You know, 'almost famous' is our initial exploration of the entertainment industry, from walking on the road to groping under the spotlight, we are brave, we are persistent, we are energetic, we are excited, the kind that belongs to glory to death The indomitable progress is the core of this album; 'Bathing in the Morning Light' means that we stand in the center of the stage and become the focus, accepting attention, cheering, and enthusiasm, we will unreservedly show the spirit of the band, let the rock's The trajectory of development bears our imprint.”

Hugo's words made the three of them immersed in the music of Glory to Death. The first two albums can be said to be the footprints of Glory to Death to announce their existence step by step, so what about the third album?

"I thought that maybe the third album should be when we reach the pinnacle that belongs to us, let the world recognize our music, and run through it with such thoughts, but I found that my creation, Fokin's creation, Neil's creation There is no way to connect this idea in creation. Why? Because 'Bathing the Morning Light' has achieved this, it has completed our goal ahead of time, and with the great success, our state of mind has changed, so naturally, our Creation has also changed.”

Hugo's words silenced Neil and Fokin. Although the two of them have been insisting on creating and contributed some excellent works, as reflected by the content of Hugo's feedback today, their overall view is still not as good as Hugo, it is difficult for them to see the coherence of the entire music creation, and it is difficult to clearly feel the subtle changes in the band's music. This is also an important reason why Hugo became the core of Glory to Death.

"Right now, we're all in a state of turmoil, whether it's Neil, Fookkin, Pepe, including Alfonso who is temporarily in Las Vegas today. Our confusion and confusion are used as the theme to make the third album, but the question is, why are we confused? What are we confused about? What is the reason for our inner hesitation and hesitation? It is because of our pursuit of music Is it no longer determined? Or is it that Hollywood has made us lose ourselves? So, does this mean that glory to death is no longer glory to death?"

Hugo paused when he said this. Even if he didn't say anything later, the three of them knew what was going on.

The reason why Glory to Death is Glory to Death is because they have an indomitable determination and sharpness, either glory or death, and this kind of persistence has achieved the glory of Glory to Death. But if Glory to Death loses that spirit, then their music is no longer appealing. Maybe, they can follow Hugo's ideas and create an album with the theme of confusion and chaos, and they may even use the current momentum to achieve good results in business, but glory to death is no longer glory to death. Dead, just like "Chaos. Lun" is to Nirvana. The album "Incident. Lun" has no overall concept. It just fully shows the contradictions and extremes of Nirvana, but it loses Kurt Cobain. arrogant and unruly. At that time, the so-called "Three Series Bottleneck" will come true.

This is the bottleneck that Hugo said, just like acting, he needs to find the right direction, then break the bottleneck, seek breakthroughs, and rediscover the spirit that belongs to the glory of death. It's not just Hugo, but the whole band of Glory to Death is also like this. They need to regain their vigor and persistence in the colorful Hollywood.
