Chapter 615: Lunch at the End of the Year 615

Hugo let out a long sigh of relief. This is a brand new attempt. It is the first time to use the cello as the main melody of the song. This not only breaks the basic equipment of rock bands, but also introduces classical instruments into rock and roll This can definitely be called a huge step, and you can imagine the sensation that this song "Apologize" will cause when it comes out.

Hugo is not sure which of the two songs he recently composed, "Beautiful. Day" and "Apologize", is better, although "Beautiful. Day" took more time, the entire arrangement and mood are different It's better; but "Apologize" has made a breakthrough change, and the mood of the whole song is as pathetic as any song.

But it is worth affirming that the creation of these two songs is a new breakthrough made by Hugo in music. It can be felt that Hugo is gradually becoming a master of creation, which is much faster than the progress of acting. Ironically, the song "Apologize" was actually written because of Uma.

After composing the song "Apology", all of Hugo's negative emotions were vented into the melody. Although he was still a little tired, his mental state gradually recovered.

Hugo looked around, but the crew still hadn't resumed work. He found a restaurant wine coaster and began to write the song "Apologize" on it. After writing, he found that the crew was still resting. , This made Hugo very puzzled, and he called Samora over to ask for a while, only to find out that it was Uma who hid and rested, and the external news said that he was very uncomfortable.

Hugo was a little surprised. Uma should not be so fragile, but after thinking about it, Hugo understood. "Pulp fiction" is an important career turning point for Uma. Compared with love, career is more important. It has always been Uma's most important pursuit. Now Uma is worried that she will really be replaced by Quentin, and all her calmness and composure have been defeated. This is forgivable, I am afraid that now Uma should hide Where to think about how to save it.

This made Hugo a little dumbfounded. I only hope that Uma can stop after this incident. Compared with those who are left and right, it is the truth to work hard to improve her strength and dedicate outstanding works.

That day, Uma finally came out and started shooting, because there were not many shootings left, and although she wanted to cancel the shooting, her current position could not afford the rumors of "big names", so she could only bite the bullet Came out and Hugo did the rest of the shoot.

But the next day, Uma developed a high fever, and her role had to be postponed for a few days, but this was not a big problem. On the one hand, it was because "Pulp Fiction" also had a lot of other people's roles. Even if the Uma part is not filmed, the crew will not stop; on the other hand, because there are only two days left until the end of 1993, it is okay for Uma to take this opportunity to take a break.

As a result, Uma missed the last two days of filming in 1993.

On December 31, Hugo ended the morning shooting, and Samora drove to Constellation Avenue, ready to go to the annual end-of-year luncheon of International Innovation Management Company. The reason why Hugo came to the luncheon was because Joseph had told Samora three days in advance that Hugo must attend, and Henry also conveyed the same message to Samora.

After Hugo asked Carl, he realized that the international innovation management company's internal struggle for power and profit has become more and more intensive. Not only Hugo, but also the company's top big names will show up more or less to grasp the current pulse of the brokerage company. .

Now the international innovation management company is quite a bit of a storm. Not only is the creative artist agency coming to explore Hugo's words, but several other relatively small agency companies have also called Samora several times before and after. , including Joseph and Henry also received calls; and besides Hugo, the Creative Artists Agency also locked several other big-name artists from the International Creative Management Company.

This state of turmoil is not fatal to the actors themselves, but the actors must also understand the current situation of their agents in order to make better choices.

Fortunately, the filming location of "Pulp Fiction" was in Los Angeles. It was a fifteen-minute drive from where they were filming today to Constellation Avenue, and there was no Hugo scene in the afternoon, so Hugo could rest assured. Come to this luncheon.

When Hugo arrived at the International Innovation Management Company, he discovered that Rick Rosen and Ron Mayer actually greeted him on the first floor, which made Hugo a little stunned, "Uh, I don't know what happened to the company. Why are you standing here... welcoming guests?" Hugo didn't even know what language should be used to describe this situation accurately, and welcoming guests didn't seem to be the right word.

Before Rick could speak, Lang was the first to speak with a smile on his face, "Because you deserve it all!"

Indeed, Hugo deserves this kind of treatment. 1993 was a year for Hugo to take off. In this year, Hugo released a total of three works, "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Schindler's List". and Glory to Death's debut album "Almost Famous".

In 1993, the music market was turbulent, and the blossoming of rock albums became the brightest in the entire market. Although it is difficult to compete with the sales of rock bands compared with albums in the mainstream market, no one will deny that this year's rock music The strong rise of the rock makes people re-see the glory of rock and roll in the peak period in a trance.

Among them, Pearl Jam surpassed Nirvana and completed the market domination, the fall of Guns and Roses, the birth of Glory to the Dead and the Smashed Pumpkin Band, and the British forces represented by Goatskin, Stain, and Shen Yun. The strong rise, David Bowie, U2 Band, Bob Dylan, the old rock force represented by a new life... These have become important footnotes in the music market throughout the year, and surpassed all other music types to become the largest highlights.

Among the North American year-end album sales charts, Pearl Jam's album "Duel" easily topped the pack with 6 million sales and became the year-end champion in 1993; Janet. Jackson's album "Jenny" Janet)" followed in second place; Mariah Carey's new album "Music Box" came in third place by a narrow margin.

The annual sales of these three albums exceeded 5 million copies, which can definitely be said to be an outstanding achievement. It also shows that although the music market declined in the 1990s, it still maintained a strong vitality, especially It is even more valuable under the background of the times when cassettes and CDs are alternated.

Nineties country king Garth. Brooks (Garth. Brooks) new album "In. Pieces (In. Pieces)" released in August, Aerosmith's new album "Restricted Self" released in April, Billy-Joel (Billy. Joel) album "River of Dreams (River. Of. Dreams)", Snoop Dogg's album "Dog Style", Mitt-Lover's "Hell Bat 2: Back to Hell" also All have achieved sales of more than 3 million, ranking fourth to eighth respectively on the year-end list.

Bryan. Adams' album "So. Far, So. Good" and Frank - Sinatra's album "Duets" sold over 2 million The last two positions in the top ten of the year-end sales rankings.

It is worth mentioning that "Almost Famous", which was released at the end of the year, accumulated sales of 1.22 million within five weeks, ranking 22nd on the year-end list. For a rookie rock band, but also a rock band challenging the existing mainstream market, it is undoubtedly a huge affirmation. At the same time, let Glory to Death become the best rookie of the year after Toni. Braxton.

Donnie Blyston is the rhythm and blues singer who turned out this year, her unique deep voice is known as a bit of magic, her self-titled debut album was released in June, before the end of 1993. With more than two million sales, it is definitely the biggest discovery in the music market this year.

But compared to Tang Ni, the brilliance of Glory to Death is not inferior at all. In just five weeks, the album sales exceeded the million threshold, and the rise speed is not much worse than that of Tang Ni. More importantly, Glory The impact that Death has brought to the entire rock and roll world is unprecedented.

Take a look at the North American album sales year-end chart. Among the top ten are Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Mitt Laufer and Brian Adams, and among these old faces, the new Glory to Death is a new album. His face is not inferior at all, and it relies on the topicality of breaking the shackles to detonate all the focus at the end of the year, pushing the 1993 rock revival frenzy to its peak.

Anyone has reason to believe that Glory to Death will explode with more powerful energy in the next 1994. After all, the release of "Almost Famous" has just begun, and the topic led by the band has just begun.

If we consider all aspects such as album quality, topic effect, album sales, future prospects, etc., Glory to Death is a newcomer singer of the same level as Donnie, and more importantly, the rock and roll represented by Glory to Death is behind Donnie. Represented R&B, which is also a competition oriented to the entire music market.

On the year-end lists of many media, Glory to the Dead is tied with Donnie as the biggest discovery this year, and the authoritative magazine "The Sound of Music" also commented that these two groups of singers will become the thirty-sixth group. The biggest rival for the best newcomer at the Grammys.

Obviously, Glory to the Dead set off a huge wave in just five weeks, and Hugo also fought a beautiful turnaround after experiencing the Golden Globes event at the beginning of the year, making the 1993 movie a long river. There is a dazzling figure that belongs to Hugo Lancaster.
