Chapter 1525 1525 Henry Doubts

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

Gently rubbing his temples, the rough fingertips stimulated the acupoints to keep him awake, but after thinking about it, he still picked up the phone in his hand, dialed the number, and put it to his ear, just After a while, the call was connected, and Henry said in a deep voice, "It's me, Henry."

"Henry, why did you decide so quickly?" 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 were half closed, and his voice was too lazy, but he could feel his attention. "Where are you now? Why is there a strange sound next to you?"

"We were on Route 50 trying to find a suitable place to record, and Alfonso and Pedro were asking a group of Mexicans in Spanish, including two Indians, who were learning how to greet them. Neil said with a smile, 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 very cool and resolute when doing things.

Neil didn't mind either, and said directly, "Wait a minute." Then he took the phone and called to Hugo, who was trolling, "Hugo, Henry's phone."

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 "pushed" Hugo out and put him aside. I went to answer the phone, and I joined everyone in the conversation.

Hugo looked at Neil who occupied his place, and shouted a strange language, which caused the two Indians to respond loudly. Hugo then walked aside with a smile, "Henry, this is the rain. fruit."

You can feel the joy on the other end through the microphone of the mobile phone, but Henry is not a curious personality, so he didn't ask more, just said, "So, tell me again, what are you planning to record? A studio album or a live album?"

Just now, Hugo called Henry and explained the huge plan of Death to Glory. As the manager of Death to Glory, Henry shoulders the heavy responsibility of dealing with EMI Records. If Death to Glory wants to release a new album in this way, There is bound to be a nod to EMI, so Henry is the key player.

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

Hugo is not surprised, after all, this idea is really too shocking, even Fu Jin and the others did not fully understand Hugo's intention at first, "Studio album."

"Then I don't understand, why are you recording 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 collaborate with Glory to Death In three years, this is the first time Henry has not been able to comprehend Hugo's idea, which can definitely be said to be an idea beyond 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 energy of the performance makes the music come alive.”

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

For music, some people simply like music, and professional recording studios can guarantee the perfect sound quality and present the most beautiful side of music in its original form; but more people prefer live performances, because performances can give music soul, and in A bridge is built between the performer and the audience, and it truly presents the music at its most essential—perhaps imperfect, but most touching.

Henry knew such a simple truth, of course, 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 important to let Henry understand their intentions, because Henry was the one who had the ability to make EMI understand Glory to Death. Before this, the communication between Glory to Death and Henry had been smooth, but this time it was encountered a problem.

"We are not recording a live album, which shows the essence and atmosphere of the band's live performance, but we are really recording a regular album, just simply moving the studio outdoors." Hugo explained patiently, "Professional recording studios are a completely quiet environment, but outdoor recording studios are unique and unrepeatable. 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, the breath of life that cannot be replicated, and the sense of bumps in the road all the time, make every 'outdoor recording studio' unique, and this special, also It's precisely that stamp of honor to die that we want to keep on this album."

Hugo's words made Henry quiet, but this time, he adjusted his sitting position. Although he was still leaning on the sofa, he sat up straight. He vaguely understood what Hugo said, but all this was too much. It is too abstract, and it is difficult for him to clearly describe it 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, and it is never easy to turn abstract into concrete, "Henry, do you remember our first meeting? Why did you choose our band instead of any other one? A band? Or, we're not Mariah Carey, and we can't 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 rock. In terms of mass basis, it is almost impossible for Glory to Die to defeat Maria. Even if Glory to Die sells more albums, it still falls behind in terms of singing rate, listening rate, and dissemination rate. . This is a fact.

Hugo unexpectedly mentioned Maria, which caught Henry by surprise. He thought he didn't care anymore, but deep down, maybe the wound of betrayal still couldn't be recovered. But Henry knew that Hugo was not malicious, he took a deep breath and let his thoughts come back, "Because I saw that kind of persistence 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 Death have been working happily in the past time-because Henry and Glory to Death are pursuing the same thing.

"But, in the past year, have you seen that kind of obsession?" Hugo's rhetorical question was also very simple. In fact, Henry, as a bystander, saw it more clearly than the party involved.

However, as a manager, the difference between Henry and Glory to Death is that Glory to Death must make a breakthrough, otherwise they will gradually disappear; and Henry clearly knows that even if the quality of Glory to Death's third album declines, as long as The publicity is good, relying on Hugo's strong appeal and the word of mouth of the first two albums, the third album will still be a success, so he is not in a hurry, what's more, even if Henry wants to help, he can't do anything.

Therefore, Henry has always been relatively calm.

Hugo's rhetorical question made Henry ponder and understand a little more, and then Henry listened to Hugo and continued, "You should know the importance of this road trip to our band, and you should also understand How important this outdoor recording is for the band."

"Of course, I will not deny that it is very likely that the result will be very bad, and the master tape recorded is completely messed up and cannot be released at all." Hugo continued, and he was always worried about this possibility, after all, this was 1996. , leaving the studio environment, and wanting to guarantee the sound quality, the difficulty is unimaginable, "but I believe that if we persist in this journey, we will find our spirit again, even if we fail. So what if we fail? ?"

Henry held his chin and remained silent, he was digesting this huge amount of information bit by bit, "However, the reason why I insist that this is a studio album is because I hope that the recording will be successful and it will belong to glory. That spirit of dying really shows, and if it does, it's going to be a breakthrough for the band, and it could very well be our band's greatest album, an album that can't be replicated."

Hugo's words caused Henry's mouth to draw a smile involuntarily. He had to admit that Henry really felt the spirit and temperament that made him excited at the beginning in Hugo's voice, which might 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 also help us convince EMI Records."

Henry? Lazy in bed twenty-four hours a day. Henry on? road trip? Is this really good?
