Chapter 1522 1522 First Attempt

"Hugo, are you kidding me? Listen to these noises." Alfonso leaned against the door of the RV, wearing earplugs, listening to the melody from the live microphone, with a helpless expression on his face With a smile, "This...are you really not kidding?"

Hugo was setting up the keyboard and microphone, and said with a smile, "We'll use these ambient sounds, it's going to be great."

"Alfonso, don't be too picky, if according to Hugo's original idea, we go to Yellowstone Park (Yellowstone. National. Park to record, it will be an even more terrible disaster." Neil confirmed on the side that every Before each musical instrument, there were fixed microphone stands for recording, and he said with a smile.

Hugo disagreed, "Hey, if you go to Yellowstone, it will be wonderful! Imagine silent volcanoes, erupting hot springs, wild antelopes..."Young. Volcanoes" This song The song will be a blockbuster."

"But radio recording is almost an impossible task." Neil continued to complain, Glory to Death originally planned to record the song "Sail" in the Grand Canyon, but the whole space was so empty. The echo effect was almost uncontrollable, and the recorded effect was really bad. In desperation, I had to give up. In addition, Hugo's idea of ​​recording in Yellowstone Park can only be imagined in his head.

"Hey, hey, this isn't a perfect place." Alfonso interrupted and shouted, "Hugo, you didn't hear this, you weren't listening to what I just heard." Hugo He had to put down the microphone in his hand, and while saying "we can solve it, we can solve it", he walked over quickly, took the headset and put it on.

The noise of the city alleys suddenly filled Hugo's ears with incomparable clarity. Now they were just in a very ordinary alley in Denver. They could hear the washing machine churning in the residential building behind them. The sound of people discussing when they came out overhead to watch the lively people can also hear the roar of the engine when the vehicles pass by on the road at the end of the alley, and even the shaking sound of the quilt on the opposite balcony is clear, not to mention. Speaking of the group of children playing at the end of the alley, the noisy sound almost stinged the eardrums, overshadowing all other sounds and becoming the main theme of the sound in the headset.

Hugo looked back, "Pepe, you stand in front of the microphone to test the sensitivity." Pedro immediately put down the bass, walked over, snapped two fingers in front of the microphone, and took a deep breath, Hugo Shaking his head, these voices are clear, but almost all of them are suppressed by the noise of the children, so the quality of the recorded soundtrack will be very miserable.

Hugo handed the headset to Alfonso and walked towards the children, "Hey, little friend, little friend."

There were eight kids in the group, and they were throwing footballs, and one kid was banging on the trash can in boredom. Hugo's shout caught their attention, "Give me a few seconds, listen to me," Hugo picked up the football and explained, "We're recording a song here right now, and I need you guys to be quiet for five minutes..."

"No, thank you." The eldest kid who took the lead grabbed the football from Hugo's hand and refused without hesitation. Hugo was stunned, "Uh, uh, I, I'll give you pocket money, everyone one dollar."

"You're so funny, five dollars, five dollars per person." The older boy stopped when he heard the offer, but began to haggle.

Hugo laughed dumbly. Today's children really know how to grasp the key points. Just when Hugo was about to speak, the skinny child standing beside him who was beating the trash can said, "You are that man!" Hugo was stunned, what lines are these? The thin kid pointed at Hugo and excitedly said to his friends, "Hey, he's that man, that man."

Hugo knows that he is now well-known in the United States, but he does not think that children will know him. After all, almost all the movies he starred in are not allowed to be watched by children under the age of thirteen - even if they are allowed to watch it, it is estimated that they are not allowed to watch. There won't be much interest either.

Do you look like an advertising star?

The scrawny child's shouts made the children next to him pause for a moment, and then they also shouted, "Ah! Super Bowl, Super Bowl! You are the man who saved the earth at this year's Super Bowl!"

Super Bowl? save the planet?

Hugo thought about it carefully, and then recalled that the children were talking about "Independence Day".

Although most people remember "Titanic" when it comes to movies that changed the Hollywood landscape, in fact, to be precise, "Independence Day" and "Titanic" should work together to change history, and the "Independence Day" that came out ahead of schedule Day" also paved the way for the success of the "Titanic".

In addition, "Independence Day" also created the most important part of commercial films, that is, different publicity strategies. Twentieth Century Fox has turned its brains to the Super Bowl, which has the highest ratings in the United States. This game can attract more than 100 million viewers every year. In fact, the commercial opening has not reached the saturation level.

Previously, "Independence Day" released a smoke bomb to attract attention with the help of the Super Bowl platform in the publicity before the actors were confirmed, but I didn't expect that this smoke bomb actually achieved unexpected results. So Kevin Pence immediately made a decision and negotiated with the NFL, the organizer of the Super Bowl, and NBC, the TV broadcaster. After a tug of war, the two sides successfully reached a deal, agreeing to cut the cut during the Super Bowl halftime and before the halftime performance. During the ad time, the premiere trailer for "Independence Day" plays.

This made "Independence Day" the first work in film history to show a trailer at the Super Bowl, and gradually opened up this market, and eventually became a reserved show for the annual Super Bowl, and even set aside a period of time to broadcast the wonderful movie trailer.

The Super Bowl effect is undoubtedly huge, and it plays an irreplaceable and important role in promoting the movie box office, so that later major film companies competed for the limited time of the Super Bowl halftime.

This year's "Independence Day" trailer was played during halftime between the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the effect was immediate. Even the children recognized Hugo's face, which was incredible.

"So, are you willing to help me with this little favor?" Hugo said with a smile, neither admitting nor denying it.

The children had already determined that Hugo was the man who saved the earth, and they were all excited immediately. The worship of superheroes made them excited, "So...then, can we watch from the side?"

"Uh, you... can you sing?" An idea suddenly popped into Hugo's mind, and he said it directly. It would be very interesting if the children also joined the singing of "Young Volcano".

The children in front of them all jumped up one after another. Hugo took the children back to the band. Everyone was no longer surprised. The idea of ​​standing outside to record a regular album made any accidents seem dull. strange. Alfonso asked directly, "Do you intend to use the children's voices as background sounds or chorus sounds?"

"Chorus, why not?" Hugo said directly, then looked at the children, "Trust me, I will put all your names on it." This made the children all scream and cheer, The people upstairs who were watching the lively from the balcony and fire escape all laughed kindly.

Since the recording is performed outdoors, although it is not a live performance, it is also equivalent to a live performance. Therefore, when Glory to Death was running wildly on the road recently, he has been practicing unremittingly, including practice when he rests at night, to ensure that the recording is performed outdoors. can be recorded in one shot with minimal disruption.

"Everyone play it first, I'll listen to the sound effect." Hugo walked over to replace Alfonso's position and gathered his teammates together. He needed to listen to the noise during the recording process, and try to make as much noise as possible. The ambient sound is also used as the background sound of the song, making the outdoor recorded version the most unique existence, rather than simply moving out of the studio.

"Young Volcano" is a song that Hugo composed on the spot when the new album "Bathing the Morning Light" was released. At that time, all the audience were beat, and then the score was composed. Later, in the process of arranging the composition, Hugo added a magnificent and majestic song. The drum beats push the song's surging momentum to its peak, which is why Hugo wanted to record it in Yellowstone Park—perhaps the most powerful song since the founding of Glory to Death.

Although today is in a residential alley in Denver, due to the narrowness of the alley, the melody played by the band will continue to revolve in the limited space, and the echoes echoing within a few milliseconds will create a natural orchestral style. The grand effect, but the result is unexpectedly excellent, and even the surrounding noise is not so important.

But Hugo still stood there and thought for a while, then raised his head and shouted at the residents watching the excitement above, "Hey guys, I need a little help, do you have time?"

A middle-aged black aunt standing on the fire escape on the second floor said with a smile, "Handsome guy, what do you need?" The middle-aged aunt was wearing her pajamas and her hair was disheveled, looking like she had just woken up. Usually, there is a cheerful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hugo shrugged, "It's very simple, follow us to beat." Hugo gave Fujin a look, and then Hugo raised his hand to beat the beat, and Fujin responded with a drum set. The drum beats of the song "Young Volcano" are very dense and the rhythm is very strong, but Hugo is performing heavy drum beats at this time, and those trivial small drum beats are not included, so the whole rhythm is very simple. The surrounding residents are getting started.

"Crack! Slap! Slap!" The sound gradually merged into one, and evolved into "Boom! Dump! Dump!"
