Chapter 454 454 Restart the Journey

"The. Middle" is the briskest track on Death of Glory's first album, and it quickly puts the band at ease. In fact, as long as the band enters the state of performance, it will soon get rid of the tension. After all, the performance is the most familiar stage for the band.

Looking at the band members who were sitting in the garage freely and enthusiastically, the smile on Albert's mouth was revealed. It really is a rock band, and it is the form that can best reflect the style and characteristics of the band when it is involved in the performance. It can even show a completely different style than usual.

Albert quickly captured the moment, and it can be said that this time the shooting was obviously much smoother. After the band's first song was performed, just when Albert thought the filming would go smoothly, he found a new spark between the band members.

I saw Neil immediately shook his head and looked at Fu Jin, "Are you serious? You actually messed up the beat twice just now!" Fu Jin, who usually never makes mistakes, actually behaved so abnormally today, which is really shocking Stunned.

Pedro, who was standing beside him, also gloated over his misfortune, "It's just..." But before his smile bloomed, Alfonso pouted and said, "You made a mistake three times just now, okay? I can't hear your rhythm at all, but fortunately Neil didn't get distracted, otherwise I must have gone wrong here."

"That's Fu Jin..." Pedro originally wanted to put the blame on the drummer, but when he saw Fu Jin's eyes that were not angry and self-righteous, his arrogance suddenly diminished, and he smiled "hehe" Touching his head, "My mistake, sorry."

"If it's the level just now, I think we should stay on the street for a while, it's really too bad." Hugo also shook his head repeatedly with a depressed expression on his face.

In fact, the difficulty of playing the song "Zhengzhong" is not as difficult as that of other songs, and it cannot be regarded as a very difficult song at all, but the most important thing is that everyone is in different states today. Some people are too excited, some people are too nervous, and some people are indifferent , which caused the whole band's rhythm to be inconsistent, and the performance was naturally very bad.

Of course, due to the cooperation for so long before, although everyone's rhythm was inconsistent, they still recovered some, at least not to the point of fragmentation, and there were still passing grades. Otherwise, the band wouldn't have had such a happy discussion just now, and maybe there would be a criticism meeting.

Albert was standing not far from the back of the truck, listening to the discussions and accusations between the band members, but the shutter in his hand could not stop at all. Such a moment is so rare, even rarer than the performance just now, the band members have different expressions, Neil's seriousness, Fokin's seriousness, Pedro's funny, Alfonso's teasing, Hugo's crying and laughing Together, a spark of admiration burst forth.

Standing at the crossroads of becoming famous, the band members' inner desire, anxiety, confusion, and excitement have to be suppressed, and then they examine each of their performances with a serious, focused, strict, and careful attitude and keep themselves tight. Remember the wish you made at the starting point. This complex emotion is intertwined and presented in Albert's mind through the lens, leaving the most wonderful moment.

Albert's mind became clearer than ever before, and he was going to use this photo as the cover, which was the most vivid and richest photo he took today. And the faces of the members are so clear and natural at this time, no one deliberately looks at the camera, but they can show at least two-thirds of their faces in the camera. More importantly, the static and flat photos are limited by The artistic conception has been continued because of the vivid emotions in the eyes and expressions of the members. This is a work that can really be called art.

It was too embarrassing to say that it was an act of professionalism until after the band had finished discussing it, they discovered that Albert had been taking pictures by the side. Hugo hurriedly smiled and said, "Sorry, we were too engrossed in the discussion just now..." This is a habit developed along the way from the tour. The band is always urging each other to make progress amid constant criticism, and it was a little lost just now.

Albert shook his head, "No, I shot the work I was looking forward to." Then Albert handed the camera to Ellie, the assistant not far away, and explained, "I will shoot next. Several groups of single photos are all based on the pictures of the band members playing their instruments."

The members of the band didn't know what happened, and they didn't know if their argument just now went too far, or if there were any indecent words in their mouths, they could only look at Henry. Henry was standing beside him mentally at this time. He also noticed what happened here, but he didn't say much, just raised his hand and gave an "OK" gesture, which made the band members relax.

After the shooting just now, everyone has a certain understanding of taking pictures. In addition, Albert's setting today is to take pictures of the band entering the performance state, and then capture a specific moment through his personal sensitivity, so this Giving the band members maximum freedom. The shooting of the second group of solo photos was successfully completed. Finally, Albert took a series of photos of the group group and the truck, and announced the completion of all the work today.

All the work for the band to record the album has been completed, which also means that the band's nearly 40-day stay in New York has finally come to an end, and they have to set off on their way home again according to the original plan, leaving New York and heading towards the warm West Coast. set off.

Since the plan was made prior to signing with EMI, the band was ready when the recordings were coming to an end, ready to go as soon as all work on the album was done. When the filming of the inner pages was over, and the sun had just peeked out of the sea the next day, the band got into their old van again and set off again in a dusty manner.

This time, Henry didn't go with the band, because it wasn't an album promotion schedule - although EMI had this idea in mind, they would also cooperate with each city the band arrived in to carry out a certain degree of publicity, making the band's momentum a little bit. Build it up and warm up for the upcoming album. But it was essentially the band's own tour, so Henry stayed in New York.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Henry did not go with him. Henry still has tasks to stay. First of all, Henry needs to communicate with EMI Records about the finishing work of the album and the next publicity schedule; secondly, Henry has no interest in touring and running around in life. He plans to finish the work in New York , just hop on a plane to Los Angeles—where EMI is headquartered in the U.S.

This is Henry's first return to Los Angeles after a lapse of two years. Since Mariah Carey fired Henry and cast another, Henry disappeared and was almost forgotten by the entertainment industry. Until now, Henry has returned to the battlefield with the band of Glory to the Dead again, but it is worth looking forward to what the record will be this time.

It is worth mentioning that after leaving Henry, Mariah Carey's career is still booming. Not long ago, on August 31, her third studio album "Music. Box" was released. Officially released, this album sold 910,000 copies in the first week, and it was no suspense on the Billboard album chart. The position of the leader of the list.

At present, the U.S. sales of the album "Music Box" have been ferociously approaching the threshold of 10 million, apparently intending to achieve the supreme glory of Diamond Records. At the same time, American music critics also highly praised the album, believing that it is Maria's pinnacle work, and is likely to create a new high for Maria's music career.

It can be seen that Maria, who left Henry, was not only unaffected, but also successfully climbed to the peak of her career; relatively speaking, Henry, who was down and out, seemed sympathetic and embarrassing. Of course, this is the status quo of the entertainment industry. It is difficult for an artist to stay at the top when an agent leaves an artist, but it is not so difficult for an artist to find a better replacement after leaving an excellent agent.

It's just that it's debatable whether Henry can recreate the peak of his career by virtue of his death. From this point of view, Henry made an invitation to Glory to Death for the first time when he was in Memphis, and then the number of invitations became more and more frequent. This cannot completely deny the influence of the "music box", although it is said that the strength of the band itself is Henry's most powerful. important part.

Of course, no one cares who Henry Bloom is, what kind of life he is living now, and even the media that cares about the future development of Glory to Death is very limited - everything must be said by the album results. Therefore, the two or three things that Henry and Maria had to say are still buried under the dust. When will they be dug up by the insiders and when they will be dug up by the media, it depends on the glory that can bring Henry to the end How much attention has come.

Glory to the Dead ended the album preparation work in New York and set off again. This time, the media has obviously paid more attention than before. Most of the media seemed very surprised. They originally thought that after signing with EMI, Glory to the Dead It should be recording albums, releasing albums, promoting albums, and going on a real career as a singer. But unexpectedly, Glory to Death actually returned to the track of the road tour, as if the previous signing and recording of the album had never happened.

However, many media believe that this is a hype. This tour of Glory to the Dead must have many crew members accompanying it, setting up stages in every city to perform, and then constantly promoting it. This is in line with the promotion strategy of the major record companies. Of course, there are also media who think this statement is ridiculous.

As for the truth, it will be slowly revealed when Glory to the Dead arrives in the first city and the second city where the tour will resume.
