Chapter 1522: First Attempt
72_72291 "Hugo, you're kidding me, right?" You listen to these noises. Alfonso leaned against the door of the RV, with earplugs, listening to the melody presented by the live microphone radio, with a helpless smile on his face, "This ...... Are you really not kidding? ”
Hugo was setting up the keyboard and microphone and said with a smile, "We're going to use these ambient sounds, it's going to be great." ”
"Alfonso, don't be too picky, if Hugo had what he thought, we're going to Yellowstone. park), that would be an even more terrible disaster. Neil laughs as he makes sure that there is a fixed microphone stand for each instrument before it is recorded.
Hugo disagreed, "Hey, if you go to Yellowstone, it will be wonderful!" Imagine a silent volcano, an erupting hot spring, a running antelope...... a young volcano. voloes)' this song will be a blockbuster. ”
"But the radio became almost an impossible task." Neil continued to complain that he originally planned to record the song "Sail" in the Grand Canyon of Colorado, but the whole space was too empty, and the echo effect was almost uncontrollable, and the recorded effect was really bad, so he had no choice but to give up. Even with it, Hugo's idea of recording at Yellowstone can only be imagined in his head.
"Hey, hey, it's not a perfect place either." Alfonso interrupted and shouted, "Hugo, you didn't hear this, you didn't listen to what I just heard. Hugo had to put down the microphone in his hand, and while saying "we can solve it, we can solve it", he walked over quickly, took the headset and put it on.
The noise of the alley suddenly filled Hugo's ears very clearly, and now they were in a very ordinary alley in Denver (Denver), and they could hear the sound of the washing machine stirring in the residential building behind them, and they could also hear the sound of people coming out to see the excitement overhead, and they could hear the roar of the engines of vehicles passing by on the road at the end of the alley, and even the shaking sound of the quilt drying on the balcony opposite. Not to mention the group of children playing at the end of the alley, the noise almost tingling the eardrums, overshadowing all other sounds and becoming the main theme of the sound in the headset.
Hugo looked back, "Pepe, you stand in front of the microphone and test the sensitivity." Pedro immediately put down the bass, walked over, snapped his fingers twice in front of the microphone, and then breathed hard, Hugo couldn't help but shake his head, these voices were clear, but almost all of them were suppressed by the noise of the children, so the quality of the recorded track would be very miserable.
Hugo handed the headset to Alfonso and walked over to the children, "Hey, little potter, little potter. ”
There were eight of the kids in the group, they were throwing rugby balls, and one kid was banging on the trash cans in boredom, and Hugo's shouts made them all pay attention, "Give me a few seconds, listen to me," Hugo took the rugby ball and explained, "We're recording a song here now, I need you to be quiet for five minutes......
"No, thank you." The eldest child who took the lead directly snatched the rugby in Hugo's hand and refused without hesitation, Hugo was stunned, "Uh, uh, I, I'll give you pocket money, one dollar each." ”
"You're hilarious, five dollars, five dollars each." When the older child heard the mention, he stopped what he was doing, but he began to bargain.
Hugo laughed dumbly, the current child really knows how to grasp the key point, just as Hugo was about to speak, the thin child standing next to him banging on the trash can said, "You are the man!" This made Hugo stunned, what kind of line is this? The skinny child pointed to Hugo and said excitedly to his friends, "Hey, he's that man, that man." ”
Hugo knew that he was now more well-known in the United States, but he didn't think that children would know him, after all, almost all of the movies he starred in were not allowed to be watched by children under the age of 13 - and even if they were allowed to watch them, they probably wouldn't be much interested.
Does he look like an advertising star?
The emaciated child's shout caused several children next to him to pause, and then they all shouted, "Ah! Super Bowl, Super Bowl! You're the man who saved the planet at this year's Super Bowl! ”
Super Bowl? Save the planet?
Hugo thought about it carefully, and then remembered that the children were talking about "Independence Day".
Although most people will remember "Titanic" when it comes to movies that changed the Hollywood landscape, in fact, to be precise, it should be "Independence Day" and "Titanic" working together to change history, and the "Independence Day" that came out in advance also paved the way for the success of "Titanic".
In addition to this, "Independence Day" also pioneered one of the most important aspects of commercial films, which is a different promotional strategy. Twentieth Century Fox has put his brain on the highest-rated Super Bowl in the United States, a tournament that attracts more than 100 million viewers a year, but the commercial openness has not reached the saturation level.
Previously, in the promotion of "Independence Day" before the actor was determined, a smoke bomb was released to use the Super Bowl platform to attract attention, but I didn't expect that this smoke bomb actually achieved unexpected results. So Kevin Pence immediately made a decision and negotiated with the NFL, the organizer of the Super Bowl, and the NBC, the TV broadcaster, and after a tug-of-war, the two sides successfully reached a deal to play the premiere trailer of "Independence Day" during the Super Bowl halftime and before the halftime show.
This made "Independence Day" the first film in film history to show a trailer for the Super Bowl, and gradually opened up the market, eventually becoming the annual Super Bowl repertoire, and even setting aside a period of time dedicated to the wonderful movie trailer.
The Super Bowl effect is undoubtedly huge, and it plays an irreplaceable and important role in promoting the box office of the movie, so much so that later major film companies fought for the limited time in the Super Bowl halftime.
This year's "Independence Day" trailer was played during the halftime of the Dallas Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, and the effect came out at once, and even the children recognized Hugo's face, which was really incredible.
"So, would you like to do me this little favor?" Hugo did not admit it, nor did he deny it, but said with a smile.
The children had already decided that Hugo was the man who saved the earth, and they were all excited, and the worship of superheroes made them excited, "So...... So, can we watch from the sidelines? ”
"Uh, you guys...... Do you know how to sing? Hugo suddenly had an idea in his head, and he said it directly. It would be a lot of fun to have the children join in the singing of "Young Volcano".
The children in front of him suddenly jumped up, Hugo took the children back to the band, everyone was not surprised at this time, the idea of standing outside to record a regular album has made any accident seem unremarkable. Alfonso asked directly, "Are you going to use the children's voices as background notes, or as chorus notes?" ”
"Chorus, why not?" Hugo said directly, then looked at the children, "Trust me, I will give you all names." This caused all the children to scream and cheer, causing the people upstairs to watch the excitement from the balconies and fire escapes laugh in a friendly way.
Since recording outdoors is not a live performance, it is equivalent to a live performance, so Glory to Death has been practicing tirelessly when he has been running wild on the road recently, including when he rests at night, to ensure that he can record in one go with minimal distraction when recording outdoors.
"Let's play it first, and I'll listen to the sound." Hugo walked over to take Alfonso's place, bringing his teammates together, and he needed to listen to the noise of the recording process, and use the ambient sound as much as possible to become the background sound of the song, so that the outdoor version of the recording could be the most unique existence, rather than simply moving the studio out.
"Young Volcano" is a song written by Hugo at the release of his new album "Bathing in the Morning Light", when the audience beat the beat, and then composed the score, and later in the arrangement process, Hugo added a majestic drum beat to push the song to the peak, which is why Hugo wanted to record it in Yellowstone - this is perhaps the most imposing song since the beginning of the Glory to Death.
Today, although it is in a small residential alley in Denver, due to the narrowness of the alley, the melody played by the band will continue to reverberate in a limited space, and the echo that reverberates in a few milliseconds will create a natural orchestral grandeur, but the result is surprisingly good, and even the surrounding noise is less important.
However, Hugo still stood there and thought for a moment, then looked up at the residents watching the excitement and shouted, "Hey, guys, I need a little help, I wonder if you have time?" ”
A middle-aged black aunt standing on the fire escape on the second floor said with a smile, "Handsome guy, what do you need?" The middle-aged lady was wearing her pajamas, her hair was scattered, and she looked like she had just woken up, but there was a cheerful smile on the corner of her mouth.
Hugo shrugged, "It's simple, follow us and beat the beat." Hugo gave Foquin a look, and then Hugo raised his hand to beat the beat, and Foquin responded with a drum kit. The drum beat of the song "Young Volcano" is very dense and the rhythm is very strong, but Hugo is performing a heavy drum beat at this time, and those small and trivial drum beats are not included, so the whole rhythm is very simple, and the surrounding residents can get started at once.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The sound gradually merged into one and evolved into "Boom! Boom! Boom! ”。
