Chapter 2141: 2141 Sportsmanship

Paul cast his eyes on Hugo, and a self-deprecating smile formed on the corner of his mouth, "When I looked through the resume of Glory to Death, my first reaction was—isn't Hugo Lancaster Marlon Brando? Is it?" This comparison made everyone stunned, "But then I realized that Hugo Lancaster should actually be Frank Sinatra."

Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand are known as the greatest entertainers of the twentieth century, not to say that their achievements surpass other entertainers - of course, this is also a very important part, their achievements even in the long It is also second to none in the long history, but more importantly, these two artists have spanned music and film twice, and both of them have won Oscars and Grammys. The social influence of the two people has reached an unattainable height.

Paul first said that he admired Frank, and then said that Hugo was Frank-on the surface, it meant that Hugo and Frank were both artists with outstanding achievements in the fields of music and film, but the deep meaning in the words was invisible. Hugo was highly sought after, and more importantly, such a foreshadowing was completed without making a fuss, so that the parties could not even react, and just felt smug.

It took Hugo a while to react. By the time he realized the twists and turns in these words, the topic had already advanced several big steps. Paul's skill reminded Hugo of Robert Iger.

"What really got me interested in Glory to Death was a song called... er, 'Sail'." Paul also asked his colleagues around him for confirmation, and then awakened the memory, "every time Every time I hear this song, I can feel the excitement and excitement in my blood. It reminds me of football. A big part of the reason why sports are loved by so many people is because of the never give up. Spiritual and desperate fanaticism, isn't it?"

The pace of Paul's words is not fast, and he is the only one talking at this time, but it will not make people feel out of harmony, because everyone is a part of the conversation, and they will never feel lonely.

"Later I heard that when the band boarded the Maracana, they also sang a song called 'I. Lived'. Many people said that this song is a sublimated version of 'Voyage', It's a pity that I have never been able to hear this song, which is quite a pity." Paul's eyes stayed on Hugo, as if he was expecting Hugo's response.

Hugo nodded and explained with a smile, "Yes, that's true. The creation of that song came from a dream. We originally thought that the new album would be released soon and planned to include it, but now it seems that we progress is far behind.”

"It's such a pity." The twinkle in Paul's eyes clearly interpreted this sentence, "But it also made me have a very bold idea, not just inviting Glory to the halftime of the Super Bowl Show stage, and also invite you to write the theme song for the NFL next season."

This is not an easy invitation. As the most influential sports league in the United States, the number of viewers of NFL games every week is not small, almost every week can exceed 40 million people, which means that throughout the season, the theme song will be repeated countless times, And the audience's listening times will reach a height that cannot be counted at all.

"Are you kidding me?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and showed an incredible expression. Before that, the rock band had never even landed on the stage of the halftime show, and now he actually asked the rock band to compose the theme song for the NFL , no matter how it sounds like a fantasy, "You sure want to use a rock song as the theme song for the entire season next year."

Paul was very satisfied with Hugo's reaction, and nodded with a smile, "This is a very good idea, isn't it? In the band Glory to Death, we can feel the kind of dedication that is almost the same as sportsmanship." And fanaticism, the kind of passionate positive influence and rugby really fit perfectly. Imagine that you can hear the passionate rock melody before every game, and the next game will always make people look forward to it even more. "

Hugo knew that Paul probably listened to the album "Storm", "Young Volcanoes (Young. Volcanoes)", "Voyage", "My Life (It's. My. Life)" and other works are all positive Yes, raging emotions do fit well with the style of sports.

But Hugo still felt a little awkward, composing the theme song for the NFL? Just turning around in my mind, I feel that this is incredible. Hugo turned his head to look at his teammates, only to find that everyone was also looking at him. Obviously, this was a new experience for everyone in Glory to Death, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Henry said at this time, "Are you sure this is a good idea? The NFL's first step towards rock and roll, and it's going to be there in one step?" He successfully diverted Paul's attention away from Hugo, " Besides, you may not be satisfied with the songs created by the band. They have always adhered to the style of the band and have not made any changes. Glory to Death has other different types of music besides "Voyage". Just like you Like rock and roll they don't like, they can be intense or dark."

Henry’s words contained a lot of content information, the most important meaning is: If you are sure to let the glory to death to create, it is best not to pick and choose, because the glory to the death is not those pop singers, you can manipulated at will.

Paul narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked Henry up and down, but Henry was unmoved, still lazily meeting Paul's gaze. Paul just paused for a moment. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t notice it at all. The smile on the corner of his mouth immediately outlines, “Just like I’m looking forward to ‘this life is worth it’, I’m also looking forward to death with glory and football. The spark after the collision."

Henry leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile, "Are you sure you will like 'This Life Is Worth It'?"

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Paul replied without any pause.

The song "This Life Is Not in Vain" set off a frenzy in Maracana at the beginning, sparked countless discussions, and has been sought after by countless people in the past three years, but only a small number of fans have really appreciated the charm of this song. That's all. But there is no doubt that "This Life Is Worth It" is a rock song, pure rock, and Henry's question means-is it okay for you to rock? And Paul's clean answer gave a positive response.

Henry looked into Paul's eyes seriously, as if he was exploring the sincerity of the answer, and Paul met Henry's gaze without flinching. There was a brief silence between the two, which made the other onlookers hold their breath, fearing that even the slightest movement would destroy the tense scene.

Suddenly, the corner of Henry's mouth twitched slightly, showing an almost invisible smile, and turned to look at Hugo, "So, Hugo, are you interested? Create a track related to football?"

Hugo couldn't help but choked on this question. The song "We Are the Champions" created by the Queen band has nothing to do with sports. It is just a song they use to motivate themselves, sing themselves, and praise themselves. myself the same. sex. love identity song. But after the song came out, because of the high-spirited and shocking style of the song, it became the theme song of various sports events, and even became the track at the awarding moment of countless competition finals to reward the winners.

Hugo wasn't an athlete, he was a dreamer, there was nothing wrong with asking him to write a rock song, but it was too difficult to write a song based on sports, because he didn't really experience the ups and downs of sports, Nor did he feel the desire for victory. The interpretation of that kind of sportsmanship was too unfamiliar to Hugo.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Hugo felt that this was a very interesting thing, "No, I can't help it." His answer was beyond everyone's expectations, even Paul and Henry were quite surprised , the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was outlined instead, "I can't write a song about rugby, and I can't write a song about sports, but maybe I can try to write a song about dreams, about victory, about song that exists."

It's like "we are the champions".

Henry immediately understood what Hugo meant, turned his head to look at Paul, and waited for Paul's answer with a smile. Paul seemed to be lost in thought, and after a while, he nodded slightly, "This is what I want you to do." Limits, challenging the impossible, this spirit can inspire everyone, including athletes of course, so it has become a real classic.

If a song is created specifically for sports, there are bound to be limitations in spirit and thought, which will limit the creator's performance. It's also one of the big reasons why no sports anthem has surpassed the lofty status of "We Are the Champions" for so many years.

"So, the Super Bowl halftime show, we can look forward to a glorious show to the death?" Although they never talked about it directly, it was actually all hidden in it. Paul showed a calm smile and looked at Hugo.

But Hugo didn't speak, but looked at Neil, and the other teammates who were honored to death also cast their gazes at Neil. Neil nodded solemnly, "I think we need to start making preparations. No one wants to make mistakes on such a grand stage."

Paul's smile still didn't change much, as if he had expected this result a long time ago, "Then I started to look forward to it. I missed the Maracana back then, and I won't miss it this time."
