Chapter 973 973 Quietly

"Even if it's only 10 million, each of us, uh..." Pedro said excitedly, but stopped halfway through his words, as if he was seriously calculating division, which caused Alfonso to flutter. He laughed, "Two million," and Pedro suddenly realized, "Yes, two million dollars! Wow, this is a lot of money, I can seriously think about moving."

Don't look at Glory to Death and now the business is very hot, but in fact, they started to make money after March this year, and it has been less than half a year, so they haven't changed houses and cars, and they still seem to have just graduated from the underground rock circle. The newcomers who come out are generally.

"So, we'll leave all these things to Henry?" Hugo concluded, he didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, which made the corner of his mouth smile involuntarily.

Hugo looked at Pedro, looked at Alfonso, looked at Neil again, the smiles in everyone's eyes were so similar, expressing their affirmative views, but when Hugo saw Fujin At the time, he unexpectedly saw a silence, which made Hugo stunned: he thought that Fu Jin didn't care, not only because the previous quarrels were the most direct reflections of Fu Jin, but also because Fu Jin didn't refute it just now. .

Fu Jin looked directly at Hugo, as if he wanted to see through Hugo, and after a long time, he also nodded in affirmation.

In an instant, Pedro jumped up and cheered and shouted, and Neil and Alfonso couldn't help but stand up and high-five each other. But Hugo felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look at Fu Jin, and asked with his eyes, "What's wrong?" He felt that Fu Jin still had something to say, which was not Fu Jin's personality.

Fukukin curled his lips and said in a low voice, "You should trust us." After that, Fukukin never went to see Hugo again, stood up directly, gave Neil a hug, and joined them in celebrating ranks.

Hugo sat on the spot but was stunned. Since when did he start to become trembling and cautious, always worrying that his friends would turn against him because of their interests; when did he start to refuse to trust others easily, habitually question and cautiously test, After confirming everything, I don’t want to be relieved easily.

It's not him.

Hugo let out a long breath. It is said that people are unpredictable, and the colorful Vanity Fair of Hollywood is full of too many temptations. Don't talk about others, including himself, it is difficult to keep a sober heart all the time, so he always uses interests to measure and judge by interests, but he does not find that, In fact, his behavior is no different from anyone else in Hollywood.

Others would call such a change growth, but Hugo didn't want to see such a result. He would rather believe that there are real emotions that are not mixed with interests in this world, whether it is family, love, or friendship, he would rather come back to believe and wait quietly for the day when his trust is repaid, not because Hugo is too much Childish and do not want to grow up, but because he feels that it is too sad to look at the world from the perspective of interests, and he does not want this.

Raising his head, Hugo looked at his teammates who were happily celebrating the "10 million signing bonus". A smile appeared on Fujin's expressionless cheeks. Hugo couldn't help but wondered, maybe, Neil is the one who can do it. Believe it, Fugin is what he can believe... Pedro is what he can believe, Alfonso is what he can believe... Maybe, he should start to get used to having such a group of friends around him.

If others see the Glory to the Dead celebration, it's probably going to be funny. The band's two albums are still on the Billboard charts, and the three singles they have released so far are also on the list, not to mention this The champions of the current rankings are all under their names, but they are competing to celebrate because of the bottom line of the "10 million signing gold", which is really a picture full of joy and surprise.

The promotion of "Bathing in the Morning Light" came to an end soon, and the four-month-long series of events that lasted for more than four months finally came to an end. From the "Road to Glory" tour to the album "Bathing in the Morning Light", Glory to Death is all on its own. The strength of the music has supported the entire music market, and wrote a myth that rock and roll beat rhythm and blues again and again, stepping on the shoulders of the four-in-one, boy-man group, changing the pattern of the entire music market.

If in 1993, Glory to Death was born; then in 1994, Glory to Death really climbed to the first peak.

Against this background, the new contract of Glory to Death has attracted the attention of the entire industry. At present, EMI still has a certain advantage. After all, they have had a very friendly one-year cooperation with Glory to Death, and both albums have also won A huge success, the most important thing is that EMI also has enough sincerity.

But the deadly manager Henry Bloom became the focus, because Henry was always reluctant to let go. Even if it was rumored in the circle that EMI had set the price to 25 million US dollars for three albums, Henry did not nod. . As a result, there was a new rumor in the circle, that Henry was a lion, and regarded Glory to Death as a cash cow, and wanted to win a super contract for Glory to Death in one breath.

This rumor has a tendency to become more and more intense, and some people even say that Henry is reluctant to sign because he asked EMI to give him a signing fee of one million - it was given to the manager alone, otherwise he would not let the band sign the contract , which led to the fact that the new contract has not been determined.

These rumors that are gradually going outrageous are disturbing, and it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false. Many people think that Henry's greed is likely to ruin the future of glory to death. But the strange place is here. The members of the band who died of glory went on vacation, as if they didn't care about this matter at all, and no one came forward to make a statement - neither for Henry nor against Henry; Moreover, Henry did not defend himself, allowing the rumors to grow.

This situation is really special, and it even makes people wonder: Could it be said that these rumors were released by EMI Records themselves? Of course, even if it is, it is not unusual. In order to achieve the goal, there is no compromise on the means. This is a necessary means for every large company and large group.

But what's interesting is that even though these rumors are lively, Henry still did not let go, and EMI did not give up, and the two sides were still negotiating tensely. Meanwhile, Geffen Records and Sony Columbia Records officially surfaced as competitors for a new contract to die for glory.

The Bertelsmann Records behind Geffen Records is priced at $20 million for two albums, while Sony Columbia Records is priced at $35 million for three albums. Both can be said to be sky-high prices. The only difference is that the former is more cautious and the contract time is shorter. The latter are more confident and have longer contracts.

All of a sudden, Henry became the hottest manager in the entire music circle. When the three companies couldn't contact the Glory to the Dead Band—they all turned off their phones, and Henry became their only breakthrough.

In a trance, people seem to see the grand occasion two years ago.

At that time, Henry's Mariah Carey became famous in one fell swoop, and she took a firm step towards the throne of the queen, and she was about to challenge Whitney Houston's posture. At that time, Henry was the most sought-after and popular music agent in the circle, a competitor They all want Henry to bring Maria to their company. Major TV stations hope that Henry will bring Maria to appear on the show. The name "Henry Bloom" represents strength.

Now, history seems to be repeating itself. The glory of Henry's men reached the peak, not only revolutionized rock, but also shuffled the traditional pattern of the entire North American music market, reappearing the bright stars of the golden age of rock in the 1970s. Now Henry is one of the most powerful music managers in the circle!

Life is always surprisingly similar, yet develops different branches, shocking and sighing.

In this vortex, the five members of the Glory to Death seemed to have disappeared. Everyone only knew that they had left Los Angeles for a vacation, but they could not be found for a while.

The act of honoring death is considered to hand all the decision-making power to Henry, which also carries a huge hidden danger: if Henry is really a greedy hyena, then his dissatisfaction will always be filled. Hope, like Macaulay-Culkin's father, ruined the prospect of glory to death.

Of course, there is another way of saying that Glory is about to change the music manager. They are currently secretly picking new partners. Henry, who was left in Los Angeles, is taking this opportunity to make a fortune at the end.

Countless rumors flooded Hollywood, always maintaining the joy and ease of this entertainment valley. But among these rumors, a piece of news was drowned out, "Hugo Lancaster's new work 'Before the Sunrise' officially started shooting".

Before that, the "Los Angeles Times" had reported on the selection of Hugo's latest work, but there were "pulp fiction" and "speed of life" foreshadowing, and this time it was a script written by Hugo himself, Hugo chose "Japanese" "Before it came out" didn't make much of a fuss: people were also used to Hugo's unconventional play.

However, on the whole, the media is still not interested in this work that only invested 2.5 million US dollars - it is really too little investment, there is no gimmick, everyone is just a symbolic expression of this work. Uncertainty of blurred prospects.

Therefore, when "Before Sunrise" went to Austria for filming, although the paparazzi sent out the news, most of the media were not interested, and only briefly reported some in the form of quick news. Relatively speaking, the new contract of Glory to the Dead was more explosive, but then the reporters found out: they wanted to interview Hugo about the band, but they couldn't get in touch with Hugo. This is really... Frustrating!

Quietly, the "Before Sunrise" crew set foot on the European continent to prepare for filming.
