Chapter 1740 1740 Take What You Need

Rewind the time a hundred and twenty hours from the pomp of the LAX airport right now. Hugo stayed at the Berlin Film Festival for just one day - less than twenty-four hours, and then left the city in the sky to continue his busy tour.

Hugo was at the tea party after "Romeo and Juliet" that day, but nothing was gained. Hugo and Barry Mayer talked twice, but Barry, the old fox, obviously had other plans. He never disclosed any information, and there was no clue for Hugo to inquire.

However, I accidentally got some information from Shirley Lansing. Shirley's previous long preparations have never been rushed, the reason is because she is not pursuing the works within this year, but the cooperation next year - obviously, because "Titanic", Paramount does not dare to act rashly now.

Even with the great success of "Independence Day", the fiasco of "Cut Throat Island" and "Future Water World" still made major companies cautious, not to mention that Jim Carrey released "Ace Special Dispatch" with a salary of 20 million yuan. member" this dud. So, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox are walking on aerial ropes, and no one can take it lightly.

Shirley revealed the information inside and out. Paramount does not currently have any projects, but as long as it is a project that Hugo is involved in, they are willing to invest. Paramount was really cunning and made an offer that Hugo couldn't refuse. This step is ahead of other major Hollywood companies.

All in all, Hugo left with a ton of information, which he told Joseph, leaving Joseph to stay and Rick to deal with the situation, while he and Samora returned to the tour.

The reason why the turbulent Berlin Film Festival is called the focus is obviously not only because Hugo is trying to find a main committee of the Berlin Film Festival that belongs to his own artistic path, and is also seeking cooperation with American films, hoping to seek common ground while reserving differences. It breaks new ground on the road: allowing the festival to maintain its own art, while also being able to generate wider discussions.

In the past two years, the Berlin Film Festival has tasted the sweetness of Hugo. Therefore, they also hope that the United States can have more high-quality films to participate in the exhibition.

Michael Roselle had just come to ask for directions, but he didn't want to but smelled the abnormality keenly. Next, the competition between the Golden Globe Awards and the Berlin Film Festival will gradually become fierce. This is also a situation that no one expected - and all this originated from a "mere" actor, which is unimaginable.

In a noisy atmosphere, a character who has nothing to do with the movie also arrived in Berlin. He was originally here to visit Hugo, but unfortunately he didn't find the right opportunity at all. In the end, he just played a Greetings, very disappointing. However, he still did not give up hope and found Joseph before the film festival ended.

This person is impressively Hardwell. Krall, the general manager of the Recording Academy's marketing operations - the Recording Academy, the sponsor of the Grammys.

Hardway and Joseph talked secretly for nearly two hours, and then reached a consensus with Henry Bloom over the phone: Glory to death made a special trip to Los Angeles to attend the 39th Grammy Awards!

The reasons are complex, yet simple.

The Grammys needed Glory to Die to appear at the awards ceremony, regardless of whether the band won the award or not, but it is undeniable that 1996 was the year when the new metal rock really led the music trend. Different, but both belong to the new metal rock, the wave set off by these two bands has had an impact on the entire music industry. It's impossible for the Grammys to turn a blind eye to this, so they need both Glory to the Dead and Oasis to appear at the awards ceremony, so that the changes in the market can be truly recognized - which is also a manifestation of the authority of the Grammys.

The Grammys cannot turn a blind eye when the entire market has been turned upside down, otherwise it would be a blasphemy to their authority; the absence of either side of the troika of Glory to Death, Oasis and Maria is also harsh on the Grammys authority Show your professionalism, show your leadership in the market, show your sensitivity to the music development trajectory, this is the authority of the Grammys.

So, they need to be honored to die at the awards ceremony - Maria and Oasis have already given early confirmation.

In turn, Glory to Death also needs a stage like the Grammys, and the lofty ideal of rock and roll belief recovery must rely on a stronger and more authoritative medium. It's as if the Beatles and the Rolling Stones left the UK and came to the United States to promote it, and finally set off the global rock wave; it's as if Pearl Jam and Nirvana were disdainful of the Grammys when grunge was born. , just concentrate on making music, and as a result, grunge has never been able to break the shackles.

In the eyes of many people, art has nothing to do with business, because the copper smell of money often makes art lose itself. But the fact is just the opposite. If art wants to develop, it must be supported by money and commercial promotion. Even in the ancient Roman Renaissance, those top artists must be financially supported by the nobles, otherwise their artistic ambitions will end after all. Can only be imprisoned in the grass. It is an undeniable fact that art and commerce have always been mutually exclusive, mutually dependent and mutually utilized.

Just like in the first year when the new metal rock was born, the Grammys had unclear positioning and frivolous attitude, so they refused to attend. But in the second year, the Grammys gave the corresponding recognition to the new metal rock. It was recognized in an absolutely authoritative manner and in an absolutely commercial manner, which made today's grand occasion.

Therefore, Glory to Death needs a platform like the Grammys to realize even greater dreams.

This is a situation in which everyone takes what they need and helps each other. Grammys will not give up glory to death. Similarly, glory to death has no reason to reject Grammys.

Henry was persuaded by Hardway. In fact, Henry's original plan was to have Glory to the death to attend the Grammys, but the tour of "Rainstorm" was too successful, especially in the Maracana, far beyond imagination. Therefore, in Henry's view, Hugo's dream can be realized through touring, and the effect is far better than the Grammys - at the same time, there is no copper smell, and it is completely sown by the live strength of glory to death. As a result, Henry is not so active, and he is absolutely honored to be present or not.

But Hardway finally made Henry change his mind: as the world's most influential music awards ceremony, the Grammys have always been an authority, this is undeniable - The Beatles, Elvis Presley , Michael - Jackson, Frank - Sinatra... These great names have stepped into the classic hall on the stage of the Grammys.

So, this is the temporary return of Glory to Death today, killing everyone by surprise.

Interestingly, this year's Grammy Awards did not choose to be held on Saturday or Sunday, but chose a Wednesday, which indirectly created conditions for the return of Glory to the Dead after the interruption of the tour. However, why CBS TV chose such a midweek broadcast, and whether it has something to do with Glory to Death, is a historical mystery that no one can answer.

The time was dialed back to the scene at the Los Angeles Airport. When all the reporters saw Hugo, it was as if people who had been wandering in the desert for seven days and seven nights without a drop of water finally saw an oasis. Leaning forward, he just hoped to get closer to Hugo and closer.

Countless voices calling "Hugo" sounded in his ears, but he couldn't hear the question at all, and Hugo only felt tinnitus in his ears. After a few months of touring, Hugo has almost forgotten this feeling, which made him have to pause for a while, raise his hands and press down again and again, and finally calmed everyone down - fortunately, today's on-site reporter Not much.

After receiving Hugo's signal, the reporters began to ask questions in an orderly manner, "Hugo, did you make a special trip to attend the Grammys when you came back to Los Angeles this time?"

"Yes!" Hugo gave the answer neatly, which made the reporters a little overwhelmed - today all the reporters were film reporters, and they didn't know much about music.

"Then may I ask you because you thought you could win the award until you die, so you made a special trip back to receive the award?" Although they didn't know much about music, there was no need to distinguish the way entertainment reporters asked questions.

Hugo laughed at this question, "What do you expect my answer to be?" A rhetorical question made the reporters stunned.

Indeed, how should this question be answered? A positive answer would be too arrogant, and the Grammys have not yet kicked off, so why are they so sure; a negative answer means lack of self-confidence, and no one will be able to attend the Grammys. Holding the "I don't want to win the award" mood. So, it's an unanswerable question—and that's what the reporters meant, but Hugo's blunt rebuttal only left the reporters speechless.

"I think maybe the band is most suitable for the tour stage. After returning to Los Angeles, I was a little uncomfortable." Hugo looked at the stunned reporters in front of him and said with a chuckle, which suddenly made the reporters wonder. Overwhelmed: Is Hugo accusing everyone of not welcoming his return?

Naturally, Hugo did not intend for the reporters to answer. He chuckled and said, "The band came back specially for the promotion of the next third stage of the tour. We are very worried about the attendance rate and hope our efforts will be responded to. "After speaking, Hugo waved to everyone with a relaxed smile, followed the footsteps of Fu Jin and others, and chased up.

The reporters were completely black-headed, "concerned about the attendance..." Now that the third stage of ticket pre-sale has not started, the audience has already turned upside down, and even the calls for extra sessions have already begun. This joke is not funny at all.
