Paul cast his gaze at Hugo, a self-mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, "When I look at the resume of glory to death, my first reaction is - isn't Hugo Lancaster Marlon Brando?" This comparison made everyone stunned, "But then I realized that in fact, Hugo Lancaster should be Frank Sinatra." ”

Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand have been hailed as the greatest artists of the 20th century, not to say that they surpassed other artists - of course, this is also a very important part, and their achievements are second to none even in the long history, but more importantly, both artists have won Oscars and Grammys in both music and film. The social influence of the two has reached an unattainable height.

Paul first said that he admired Frank, and then said that Hugo was Frank - ostensibly because Hugo, like Frank, was an artist who had achieved outstanding achievements in both music and film, but the deep meaning of the words invisibly pursued Hugo, and more importantly, such a foreshadowing was completed quietly, and even the parties couldn't react, just felt fluttering.

It took Hugo a while to react, and by the time he realized the twists and turns in these words, the topic had already advanced several big steps. Paul's skill reminded Hugo of Robert Iger.

"What really got me interested in glory to death was a song called ...... Uh, the song of 'Sail'. Paul also wanted his colleagues around him to verify it, which awakened his memories, "Every time I hear this song, I can feel the excitement and excitement of my blood, which reminds me of rugby." A large part of the reason why sports are loved by so many people is because of the never-give-up spirit and desperate fanaticism, isn't it? ”

Paul's words are not fast-paced, and he is the only one who is speaking, but it does not feel dissonant, because everyone is part of the conversation and definitely does not feel alone.

"Later I heard that when the band came to the Maracanã, they also sang a song called 'Worthy of Life) (I. Lived)', many people say that this song is a sublimated version of 'sailing', but unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to hear this song, which is quite regrettable. Paul's gaze rested on Hugo, as if expecting Hugo's response.

Hugo nodded and explained with a smile, "Yes, that's true." The song was created by a dream, and we thought that a new album would be released soon, and we were going to include it, but now it seems that we are far behind in progress. ”

"It's a shame." The twinkle in Paul's eyes clearly illustrates the words, "But it also gave me a very bold idea, not only to invite Glory to Death on the stage of the Super Bowl halftime show, but also to invite you to write the theme song for next year's NFL season." ”

This is not an easy invitation. As the most influential sports league in the United States, the number of viewers of the NFL's weekly games is extraordinary, almost every week can exceed 40 million, which means that throughout the season, the theme song will be looped countless times, and the number of listeners will reach a height that is simply impossible to count.

"Are you kidding me?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and showed an incredible expression, before that, the rock band had not even landed on the stage of the halftime show, and now he actually asked the rock band to write the theme song for the NFL, which sounds like a fantasy, "Are you sure you want to adopt a rock song as the theme song for the entire season next year." ”

Paul looked very pleased with Hugo's reaction, smiled and nodded, "That's a good idea, isn't it?" In the band of Glory to Death, we can feel the kind of dedication and fanaticism that is not far from the spirit of sportsmanship, and the surging positive influence is indeed very compatible with rugby. Imagine being able to hear the exhilarating rock melodies before each game, and the next game is always more exciting. ”

Hugo knew that Paul was probably listening to the album "Tempest", "Young. Volcanoes)", "Voyage", "My Life (It's. My。 Life)" and other works are positive, and the raging emotions really fit well with the style of sports.

But Hugo still felt a little awkward and wrote the theme song for the NFL? Just turning around in my head and thinking it's incredible. Hugo turned his head to look at his teammates, only to find that everyone was looking at him too, and it was clear that this was a new experience for anyone who was honored to death, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Henry then spoke, "Are you sure it's a good idea?" The NFL's first step towards rock and roll, is it going to be done in one step? He succeeded in getting Paul to divert his attention from Hugo, "Besides, you may not be satisfied with the songs written by the band, they have always adhered to the style of the band and have not changed anything." Glory to Death In addition to 'sailing', there are other different types of music. Just like rock you don't like, they can be intense or dark. ”

Henry's words contain a lot of information, the most important of which is to say: if you are sure that you want to let Glory to Death create, it is better not to pick and choose, because Glory to Death is not something that those pop singers can manipulate at will.

Paul narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Henry up and down, but Henry was unmoved, still lazily meeting Paul's gaze. Paul only paused slightly, and if he didn't look closely, he couldn't notice it at all, and the smile on his lips immediately outlined, "It's as if I was looking forward to 'living in vain', and I would also look forward to the spark after the collision of glory to death and rugby." ”

Henry leaned forward slightly, smiled and said, "Are you sure you're going to like 'Worth Your Life'?" ”

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Paul replied without any pause.

The song "Not in Vain" caused a frenzy in the Maracanã, sparked countless discussions, and was followed by countless fans in the past three years, but the fans who really appreciated the style of the song were always only a small part. But there is no doubt that "Not in vain" is a rock song, pure rock, and the meaning of Henry's question is - are you okay with rock? Paul's neat answer was a positive one.

Henry looked Paul in the eye as if to inquire about the sincerity of the answer, and Paul did not flinch from meeting Henry's gaze. There was a brief silence between the two men, causing the other onlookers to hold their breath, lest the slightest movement would spoil the tension of the scene.

Suddenly, the corners of Henry's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an almost invisible smile, and turned to look at Hugo, "So, Hugo, are you interested?" Create a rugby-related track? ”

Hugo couldn't help but choke on the question. Queen's original song "We Are the Champions" has nothing to do with sports, it's just a song they use to motivate themselves, sing their praises, praise themselves, and it's also the lead singer Freddy Mercuri alluding to herself. Sex. Love identity song. But after the song came out, because of the song's high-spirited and shocking style, it became the theme song of various sports events, and even became the track of the final award moment of countless competitions to reward the winners.

Hugo was not an athlete, he was a dreamer, and there was nothing wrong with asking him to write a rock song, but it was too difficult to write a song based on sports, because he didn't really experience the ups and downs of sports, and he didn't feel the desire to win, and that kind of interpretation of sportsmanship was too foreign to Hugo.

However, after thinking about it, Hugo found it very interesting, "No, I can't help it. His answer surprised everyone, even Paul and Henry were quite surprised, and the smile on Hugo's lips was outlined, "I can't write a song about rugby, I can't write a song about sports, but maybe I can try to write a song about dreams, about victory, about existence." ”

It's like "we are the champions".

Henry immediately understood what Hugo meant, turned his head to look at Paul, and smiled and waited for Paul's answer. Paul seemed to be lost in thought, and after a moment, he nodded slightly, "That's what I want you to do." "The song "Sailing" is wonderful because it celebrates the spirit of human beings who are not afraid of difficulties, sprint to the limit, and challenge the impossible, and this spirit can inspire everyone, including athletes, so it has become a true classic.

If you create a song specifically for sports, there are bound to be limitations in terms of spirit and thought, which will limit the creator's performance. This is also one of the important reasons why for many years, no sports song has been able to surpass the lofty status of "We Are the Champions".

"So, Super Bowl halftime show, we can expect a great show of glory to death?" Although they never talked about it directly, it was all hidden. Paul smiled calmly and looked at Hugo.

However, Hugo did not speak, but looked at Neil, and the other teammates who were glorious to death also cast their eyes on Neil. Neil nodded solemnly, "I think we need to start preparing for the next step, no one wants to go wrong on such a big stage." ”

Paul's smile still didn't change much, as if he had expected this outcome, "Then I started to look forward to it, I missed the Maracana at the beginning, and I won't miss it again." ”
