Chapter 1606: Disrupting the Battle
72_72291The battle between Oasis and Glory to Death quickly heated up, and the record companies of both bands responded immediately - not in response to the battle post, of course, but in actual actions to show their support for this matchup.
EMI Records was the first to announce that the first single of the third album of Honor to Death will be officially released on September 23, kicking off the promotional prelude to the third album of Honor to Death. This news instantly set off an uproar, not only because the fourth week of September was the critical moment for the box office of "Independence Day" to hit 500 million, but also because it was also after the release of "Bathing in the Morning Light" on August 25, 1994, a full twenty-five months later, Glory to Death finally released a new album again!
All eyes were focused in an instant, and the anticipation for the new album of Glory to Death Cheng Dù directly reached its peak.
Immediately afterwards, the Oasis band's record label created Zào Records. records) then announced that the first single of Oasis' third album will be officially released on September 23, which will also be Oasis' third album in three years.
The Gallagher brothers' remarks about Hugo's talent have been heated again, and it took less than a year for Oasis to be ready to start again, compared to the glory to death, which took more than two years to prepare for the third album. To this, Knoll said sarcastically, "I said a long time ago that he should stay in the circus." ”
The showdown between two top rock bands is undoubtedly the biggest attraction in the near future, and almost everyone is starting to get excited, not just curious about the outcome of the showdown, but also looking forward to the huge impact of this showdown on the entire course of history - just like the "Independence Day" that was born.
But just as all eyes were on Oasis and Glory to Death, Sauron Columbia Records quietly announced that the first single from Mariah Carey's new album will also be released on September 23!
This news of Sony Columbia Records was silent and without any deliberate promotion, which was completely inconsistent with Maria's usual high-profile style. However, the "New York Times" soon found out about the news, and it broke out immediately, which immediately caused a complete media storm, and the overwhelming news report followed, achieving the effect of Sony's Columbia Pictures record plan.
While the past few months have seen the Oasis Band and Glory to Death fight in a high-profile manner, no one will forget the long-standing feud between Glory to Death and Maria, and although there is no hatred between them themselves, a single Henry Bloom is enough to complicate everything. What's more, last year's duel between Maria and Glory to the Death was completely suppressed, and it wasn't until the record-breaking sixteen consecutive championships of "Sweet Day" at the beginning of this year that he regained his confidence and relied on this single to reach the peak of his career.
So this year, when the Oasis band provoked glory to death, the media reporter was unwilling to be lonely for the first time to interview Maria, and sure enough, it got a strong effect that far exceeded expectations. Although Maria has kept her mouth shut since then, and Hugo has shined all summer with "Independence Day", everyone knows that Maria, who loves to hold grudges, is bound to be on the bar with glory to death.
It can be said that there are many bad debts between Maria and Glory to death.
Now, everyone thought that the showdown between Glory to Death and Oasis would be the biggest attraction of the music market this year, but with Maria on board, the whole battle situation seems unpredictable.
First, the pop, rhythm and blues style represented by Maria has always been the mainstream of the American market, and the momentum has not been affected in any way, once Maria joins the battle, in fact, it will have an impact on both the Glory to Death and the Oasis Band, and who can be affected less, which is also one of the highlights of the showdown between the two rock bands.
In addition, Maria, as the top pop diva in the United States today, was helped to reach the top by last year's album "Daydream", and she is absolutely qualified to form an iron triangle with the glory to death and Oasis Band. Although Maria and the Oasis Band are both against Glory to the Death, they are not allies, but rivals of each other.
Therefore, no one can predict the final outcome of the event.
This was an outcome that none of the media expected, and Maria has kept her mouth shut for the past few months, and although the Oasis has repeatedly provoked Glory to the death, almost every time someone throws a question at Maria, she has never made any positive statements.
Just when the people had forgotten about the other great opponent who had been glorified to death, Maria quietly came to the front and disrupted the battle. Sony Columbia Records' hand is really beautiful, and without spending any promotional money, it directly makes Maria's new single anticipation Cheng dù immediately break the table.
Of course, this is a huge risk, because neither the Oasis Band nor Glory to Death are easy opponents to deal with - no one will forget the black history of Jì's "fantasy" being killed by "apologize" last year, and a careless and wishful thinking will not only fail completely, but also have a high chance of stealing chickens and rice, and making Maria's new album a failure.
In the market, a truly wise businessman will avoid strong opponents and seek a win-win situation, rather than a passionate impulse to lead both sides to lose. For example, in the summer file, if "Mission Impossible" and "Tornado" are released in the same week, it is very likely that the director will end up together, but after staggering the schedule, a win-win situation has been achieved. The same is true in the music market.
However, the cunning Sony Columbia Records chose to join the showdown with great fanfare, not only because they had enough confidence in Maria, but also because they could see that they had the chance to win the new album - they didn't even take the initiative to release the news, but let the media reporters find out about the fact themselves, and finally broke the news to maximize the effect of the chemistry.
Seeing Sony Columbia Records making such a bold move, media reporters couldn't help but mutter: Could it be that this time Maria's new album is of excellent quality, so they have such a strong confidence that they can stand out in this competition?
If there is one side in this triangular showdown, either side can win, then the topic effect will be completely unimaginable, and it is very likely to create an album that writes history, just like "Independence Day"; On the other hand, once you lose the duel, you are likely to face a crushing defeat.
High investment, high risk, high return, high loss. This is the reason for starving the bold to death.
In less than twenty-four hours, the music market was in the limelight. Pop vs. Rock, British Rock vs. New Metal Rock, Pop diva vs. Rock Celebrity...... These three are paired up in pairs, and each is the opponent of the other, but secretly, Maria and the Oasis Band have joined hands to fight for glory to the death, such an intricate showdown is definitely the drama of the year!
From the resurgence of rock in 1993 to the explosion of movies in 1994, the American entertainment industry experienced a small trough in 1995, but after entering 1996, it was a good show.
First of all, "Independence Day" created a midsummer dynasty with a sweep of thousands of troops, which ushered in a good opportunity for the entire film industry to change; Now, following the turmoil in the film industry, the music industry has also ushered in a rare heavyweight head-on collision, no matter which side is the hegemon in the competitive pattern, just like the Titanic hitting an iceberg, such a showdown of the century, the spectacular Cheng dù is not inferior to the strong momentum of "Independence Day", which instantly makes people shift their attention to the music market from the heat of the summer file that has just dissipated.
"Oasis Band vs Glory to Death vs Mariah Carey", there is still more than a week left before September 23, but the whole of North America has shifted some of its attention to the music market that is not inferior in addition to paying attention to "Independence Day".
Such a scene is undoubtedly the happiest for the audience, no matter who the final winner is, they are all beneficiaries, they can not only appreciate many excellent works, but also witness the birth of history, and even use their own hands to create zào history, this kind of realism of participation, let everyone's blood boil.
In the midst of all the attention, Hugo didn't have much time and space to focus on these topical effects, and he had to devote all his energy to the production of the album. After the album was finished, Hugo did not have any time to rest, and came to the "Titanic" crew in San Diego non-stop to fulfill his original promise - a cameo role.
"Titanic" started filming as early as June, and the crew has been busy for nearly four months, but because Hugo was really busy during this time, he had no time to complete his cameo mission, so this matter could only be delayed again and again, and it was not until the completion of the three episodes of glory to death and before the official release of the first wave of singles.
Although Hugo's cameo appearance on the "Titanic" was a secret itinerary, the pervasive paparazzi still knew the news for the first time - they thought that Hugo had come to visit the class, and after the news leaked, it instantly made the quiet suburb of San Diego thirty miles away lively. Not only journalists, but also crazy fans, once again arrived as scheduled.
When Hugo arrived at the scene, the exaggerated scene of the surging crowd at the door, as always, brought the Hugo effect after "Independence Day" to the extreme, and the dense crowd followed like a shadow, and it was impossible to shake off at all. Looking at the scene in front of him, Hugo could only let out a long breath, and there was nothing else to do
