1685 Seeds of Faith

72_72291In the long history of North American music, only Whitney Houston's "Bodyguard" movie soundtrack album has sold more than one million in a single week, but there are dozens of albums with total sales of more than 10 million. It can be seen that the North American music market is not explosive, but the staying power is excellent.

However, the popularity of this ultimate showdown has successfully stimulated the explosive potential of the entire North American market, and then written myths and legends that are difficult to copy.

The album "Storm" has sold more than 660,000 copies in a single day, and even all the flowery rhetoric is not enough to describe the sacredness of this achievement. What's even more terrifying is that the troika of "Storm", "Butterfly" and "Stay Here" joined forces to sell nearly 1.65 million copies, which is also the highest number of single-day sales in the entire market in the history of North American music.

The New York Times dubbed the phenomenon "the final showdown draining the last drop of energy out of the entire market." ”

Within a day, a week, or even two weeks of sales energy was released, and it has to be said that this ultimate showdown completely detonated people's enthusiasm for music. In a trance, people seem to see the sweep of the "Independence Day" again, not that the market does not have this ability, but that there is no real opportunity to release the ability. First "Independence Day", then "Stormy Rain", the world has been in a sea of vicissitudes.

"Sixty six hundred and sixty-eight thousand six hundred and fifty-nine, please remember this group of numbers, this is a historical moment!"

"The 'storm' swept the market and wrote a new history."

"Glory to the death Maria, the Oasis band, the first day of the final showdown."

"'Butterfly' made history with sales of 500,000 on the first day!"

"The Oasis band inherited the glory of the Beatles, and British rock forces landed in the United States again."

"History! History! History! It belongs to the 'Tempest', belongs to the glory to death! ”

"Following the first battle, Glory to Death once again won the opening victory of the ultimate showdown, and the 'Storm' swept the United States."

"'Storm' set off a storm in North America, and 660,000 sales shocked the world!"

"Maria surpassed Whitney to become the most sought-after diva singer in the United States!"

"'Stay in the moment' created zào brilliance, and the Oasis Band became the first foreign singer."

"Glory to Death vs Mariah Carey vs Oasis, Six Hundred and Sixty Thousand vs Half Hundred Thousand vs Four Hundred Seventy Thousand."

"Glory to death sweeps through the eight wildernesses, unstoppable!"

"The miracle of the three series, glory to death, speak with the work, prove yourself again!"

"The 'Tempest' world tour once again broke the box sales record, and the 'Tempest' album easily made Zào history."

"It belongs to the heyday of glory to death, and the rock and roll forces are recovering strongly!"

……

Reading the headlines on the front page of October 29, you can see that Glory to Death swept the major media with absolute strength, even though Sony Columbia Records and Universal Music are trying their best to build momentum, but after all, they can't withstand the ironclad digital evidence, and in this media war, they fell behind EMI Records. Glory to death managed to occupy the front page headlines with almost no effort.

In fact, the "60 Minutes" program attracted 48 million viewers when it was live, and the subsequent rerun actually attracted 21 million viewers, and more than 60 percent of the people in the United States have been drawn into this showdown of the century, whether you care about it or not, but it is undeniable that this is the hottest focus of the year. Its fiery journey is even approaching the presidential election, which has become the second hottest spot since 1996.

Maria is watching the outcome of the first-day showdown, the Oasis band is watching the outcome of the first-day showdown, and Glory to Death is no exception. Although they were practicing hard in preparation for this week's concert in San Francisco, Samora was the first to tell the band members of the results.

"What? What the? What did you say? Pedro's face was full of disbelief, but the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but start to rise revealed the joy in his heart, watching Samora keep nodding and giving affirmation, Pedro gave Samora a punch to the shoulder, "Shut up!" Shut the fuck up for me! This definitely can't be true, oh God, hell God! ”

Even Fukin, who has always disliked expressing his feelings, showed an incredulous stunnedness, "So, you're saying that our album sold 660,000 copies in one day?" Samora was speechless at this point, just nodded vigorously and giggled happily, the shock in her heart could not be expressed in words, "Dog." Excrement! It's definitely him. Mother. of dogs. Excrement! ”

Alfonso stood next to him without saying a word, as if the whole person was in a hurry, until Pedro pounced, causing Alfonso to stumble twice in a row, and as a result, he fell directly to the ground. At this time, Pedro realized that Alfonso was already in tears, crying like a lost child, at a loss, which made Pedro laugh, "Alfonso, what's wrong?" What's wrong? We did it, we did an incredible miracle! ”

Alfonso lay on the ground in a wolf, and then looked at Hugo not far away with teary eyes, unable to utter a thousand words. Alfonso knew better than anyone that he still owed Hugo after all. To be precise, the other four members of the team who died of glory owe Hugo.

What does the album "Stormy" mean, how much Hugo's mind is condensed, and how many ups and downs have been experienced in the process of making zuò. They know better than anyone that Hugo has given soul not only to the album, but also to the band, and that he has shouldered all the hard work and pressure alone, but they don't know anything, and they are still complaining that Hugo only cares about his career as an actor and is jealous of Hugo's achievements.

But they are the ones who know the truth best: how much Hugo has experienced, how much he has carried, and how much he has worked hard to get to this day.

Following Alfonso's line of sight, Pedro immediately understood what Alfonso meant, his cheeks couldn't help but turn red, his chest was surging with countless surging emotions, and the intricacies under his eyes could not be explained in words. Pedro wanted to go over and give Hugo a big hug, which was the only thing he could do.

However, without waiting for Pedro to make a move, Neil, who was standing on the side, rushed directly and gave Hugo a fierce hug, and the huge impact made Hugo take three or four steps back to stabilize his center of gravity. Neil, who is usually steady and introverted, is also out of control today, and he is not even willing to wipe the hot tears in his eyes, but he just hugs Hugo hard, and he is silent.

Compared with the other members of the glorious death, Neil knows Hugo's ups and downs along the way, others only saw the "Storm" burst out with such earth-shattering energy in the first day of sales, but no one knows how difficult it was for the original song "Sail" to break out of the cocoon and spread its wings.

Neil patted Hugo's back hard, full of confusion but couldn't say it at all, he could only pat it hard again, he didn't want to be too excited and too hard, Hugo was patted directly and coughed, "Ahem, Neil, I know you usually have a lot of grievances against me, but if you plan to express it in this way, I'd rather fight you directly." ”

Hugo's ridicule made Foquin laugh first, and such an unusual behavior made both Pedro and Alfonso look over.

Neil knew that although Hugo did not come out, Hugo was more excited than anyone else at this time, because this qiē was Hugo's dream, all the way thorns, all the bumps, all the bumps, after all, he still came to the other side of the dream, the scenery of this road is so beautiful, even more attractive than the beautiful scenery on the other side, people can't help but be intoxicated.

"Do you remember? You said you were going to sow the seeds of rock 'n' roll again, so that people could feel the frenzy of the seventies. What do you think, now? Neil's eyes were full of excitement, and this was the first time he had seen Hugo's blueprint.

"Storm" exploded with 660,000 sales on the first day, and compared to the history of this group of zào created by Jù, Neil saw more of the enthusiasm behind the fandom of fans, and the seeds of rock and roll faith were quietly sprouting. Perhaps, the blueprint that Hugo dreamed of could one day really become a reality. It's like a human dream of flying into the blue sky.

Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth, and that bright smile was like a ray of sunlight leaking through the dense canopy of trees in March, and in an instant all the cold and haze dissipated, "At least we have planted the seeds, this is the first step." ”

What I once thought was impossible was actually the first solid first step. This is the part that makes Hugo the most happy behind the crazy sales on the first day of "Storm", the unparalleled enthusiasm fills his chest and makes Hugo feel unprecedented fulfillment. The hardships of the past, the setbacks of the past, the efforts of the past, the confusion of the past, the fears of the past...... At this moment, it has become happiness, walking on the road of dreams, even if the future is long, the scenery along the way is enough to make life colorful and colorful.

"Hugo Lancaster! I love you! Pedro stood up, yelled loudly, and then lunged at Hugo, which made Hugo look panicked, "Hey, hey, I don't have anything other than friendship with you." Hugo said as he broke free from Neil's embrace and tried to escape.

But today Neil stood on Pedro's side and grabbed Hugo firmly, and then Pedro pounced, hugged Hugo hard, and leaned up and kissed Hugo the cheek. This made Hugo show a face full of disgust, "Hey! I said, I ...... to you."

Before Hugo could say the next words, he was interrupted by Fukin, because Fuquin also pounced directly and hugged Hugo tightly from the other direction. Seeing Faukin's tall grizzly bear swoop over, Hugo's eyes couldn't help but feel a trace of fear, and he wailed, "Oh, God! ”

"Add me one more!" Alfonso even ran a little, sprinting violently and embracing the four of them, and a group of big men played like kindergarten children, and Hugo's wails were completely drowned out by the laughter of the others.

It's really helpless
