72_72291 Henry Bloom was immersed in the softness of the back of the sofa, and the messy clothes and blankets around him completely submerged him like a bunker of garbage, but he was pleasantly looking at the TV screen with his eyes half-closed, as if he was asleep, but if you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were not focused on the TV at all, but completely immersed in his own thoughts.

Gently rubbing his temples, the rough fingertips stimulated the acupuncture points to keep him awake, but after thinking about it, he still grabbed the mobile phone in his hand and picked it up, dialed the number, put it to his ear, and after only a short while, the phone was connected, and Henry said in a deep voice, "It's me, Henry." ”

"Henry, how did you think about it so quickly?" Neil's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, I didn't think about it, but I think I still need to talk to you." Henry was still trapped in the couch bunker, his eyes half-closed, and his voice was too lazy, but he could feel his attention, "Where are you now?" Why is there a strange sound next to it? ”

"We're on Route 50 and we're looking for a suitable place to record, and Alfonso and Pedro are asking a group of Mexicans in Spanish, including two Indians, who are learning how to greet them." Neil said with a smile, looking very relaxed, "So, what do you want to communicate with us?" We have already told you about the whole situation. ”

"Neil, I think I need to talk to Hugo." Although Henry is too lazy to do things, he has a sense of coldness and resoluteness when doing things.

Neil didn't mind either, and just said, "You wait. Then he took his mobile phone and shouted to Hugo, who was gesturing, "Hugo, Henry's phone." ”

Hugo didn't know what he was learning, and after a series of strange movements, which caused the group to laugh, Neil walked over and handed the phone to Hugo, and then "squeezed" Hugo out and told him to step aside to answer the phone, and he joined the conversation.

Hugo looked at Neil, who had occupied his place, and shouted a strange language, causing the two Indians to echo loudly, and Hugo walked aside with a smile, "Henry, this is Hugo." ”

You can feel the joy on the other end of the microphone through the guò mobile phone, but Henry is not a curious personality in the first place, so he didn't ask too much, and just said, "So, tell me again, are you planning to record a studio album or a live album?" ”

Just now Hugo called Henry and explained the current huge plan of Glory to Death, as the agent of Glory to Death, Henry is responsible for dealing with EMI Records, if Glory to Death wants to release a new album in this way, it is bound to ask EMI Records to nod, so Henry is the key person.

However, it is clear that Henry did not fully understand the intention of glorifying unto death.

Hugo was not surprised, after all, the idea was so shocking that even Fokine didn't fully understand Hugo's intentions at first, "Studio album." ”

"Then I don't understand why you're recording outdoors, it's just going to make the album sound down to a terrible level, not even as good as a live album." Henry's brows furrowed slightly, it would take three years to cooperate with Glory to death, this was the first time that Henry had not been able to comprehend Hugo's thoughts, which can definitely be said to be an idea ahead of the times.

Hugo didn't get angry, but chuckled, "Henry, you should know that the recording studio can guarantee the sound quality, but it can't give the music real vitality, the kind of vitality that comes from the neighborhood, from nature, from life, from the performance, will make the music come alive." ”

"I know." Henry was anxious for a moment, and although his words were still lazy, the pace of his speech was a little faster, revealing his confusion at this time.

For music, some people simply like music, and a professional recording studio can ensure the perfect sound quality and present the most wonderful side of music in its original form; But many more prefer live performances because they give the music its soul, build a bridge between the performer and the audience, and truly bring out the essence of music – perhaps not perfect, but it touches the heart the most.

Of course Henry knew such a simple truth, but he still couldn't understand Hugo, "Of course I do, but since you want this effect, you should record a live album, shouldn't you?" ”

"Henry, listen to me......" Hugo scratched his head and laughed. Hugo knew that it was important for Henry to understand their intentions, because Henry was the one who had the ability to make EMI Records understand Glory to Death, and until then, Glory to Death had always communicated with Henry very well, but this time he had encountered a problem.

"We're not going to record a live album, which shows the essence and atmosphere of the band's live performance, but we're really recording a regular album, but we're simply moving the studio outdoors." Hugo patiently explained, "A professional recording studio is a completely quiet environment, but the outdoor recording studio has an irreproducible uniqueness, even if it is the same place, different time periods of the same day will present different background sounds, the sense of scene where every minute and every second is passing, the breath of life that cannot be replicated, and the bumpy feeling of running on the road all the time, make every ' The outdoor studios are all different, and this specialness is precisely the mark of glory to death, and we want to leave that mark on this album. ”

Hugo's words made Henry quiet, but this time, he adjusted his sitting position, although he was still leaning on the sofa, but the whole person sat up straight, he vaguely understood what Hugo said, but this qiē was too abstract, it was difficult for him to clearly describe it in his mind, which made it very difficult to understand. This is normal, because not everyone can make music, not everyone can lead the rise of new metal rock, and not everyone is Hugo Lancaster.

Hugo also seemed to know that it was difficult for Henry to understand directly, and it was never easy to make abstraction concrete, "Henry, do you remember our first encounter? Why did you choose our band over any other band? Or rather, we're not Mariah Carey, and we can't be Mariah Carey. ”

Although Glory to Death is now gaining momentum and has repeatedly gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Maria, objectively speaking, Maria's interpretation is popular, and the market acceptance is much higher than that of rock. In terms of mass base, it is almost impossible for Glory to Die to defeat Maria, even if Glory to Death sells more albums, but it is still inferior in terms of singing rate, listening rate, and popularity. It's a fact.

Hugo unexpectedly mentions Maria, which catches Henry off guard, he thought he didn't care anymore, but deep down, maybe the wound of betrayal still can't be restored. But Henry knew that Hugo had no ill intentions, and he took a deep breath to bring his thoughts back, "Because I see in you that attachment, as your name suggests." ”

Henry's answer was simple, but it contained so much more, and it was the reason why Henry and Glory to Death had been working together happily for the past few years - because Henry and Glory to Death pursued the same thing.

"But in the past year, have you seen that kind of attachment?" Hugo's rhetorical question is also very simple, in fact, compared to the party of glory to death, Henry, as a bystander, sees it more clearly.

However, as an agent, the difference between Henry and Glory to Death is that Glory to Death must make a breakthrough, otherwise they will gradually die; And Henry clearly knows that even if the quality of the third album declines in Glory to Death, as long as it is well promoted, relying on Hugo's strong appeal and the word-of-mouth of the first two albums, the third album will still be successful, so he is not in a hurry, not to mention, even if Henry wants to help, he can't do anything.

So, Henry has always been relatively calm.

Hugo's rhetorical question made Henry think for a while, and then Henry listened to Hugo continue, "You should know how important this road trip is to our band, and you should also understand the importance of this outdoor recording to the band." ”

"Of course, I won't deny that there is a good chance that it will turn out badly, and the recorded master tape will be a complete mess and will not be released at all." Hugo went on to say that he had always been worried about this possibility, after all, it was 1996, and it was unimaginably difficult to leave the studio environment and ensure the sound quality, "but I believe that if we persist in this journey, we will rediscover our sharpness when we die." So, what if you fail? ”

Henry held his chin and was silent, he was digesting the huge amount of information little by little, "However, the reason why I insist that this is a studio album is because I hope to be able to record it successfully, and truly show the spirit that belongs to glory to death, and once it succeeds, it will be a big breakthrough for the band, and it is likely to be the best album of our band, an album that cannot be replicated." ”

Hugo's words made the corners of Henry's mouth involuntarily outline a smile, and I have to admit that Henry did feel the spirit and temperament that made him excited again in Hugo's voice, which may be a good thing. "However, Henry, if you want, I sincerely invite you to come and join us, listen to the master tape that we have finished recording, and you will understand it, and I hope you can also help us convince EMI Records together."

Henry? Lazily lying in bed 24 hours a day. On Henry? Road trip? Is that really good?
