If Glory to Death is a band without an agent, then today's interview will not have this level, and Roger will not be so scrupulous about competitors and shrink his feet. It can be said that from the interview to the negotiation process, Roger Henry had constrained his thoughts, but in the end he discovered that Henry was not a glorious agent at all, which was really surprising.
Of course, the most surprising thing is that Henry is not actually a glorious broker. The shock of this incident even surpassed the ignorance of the negotiation process just now.
The five members of the glory to the death did not care about Roger's shock at this time. After hearing the whole process of 'communication', they 'exchanged' their sights with each other again. Just now Henry has fought for the maximum degree of freedom for the band. Henry did this very well, but Roger did not give an exact answer. Neil gave Hugo a look, and Hugo immediately came over and asked. Then, "What's the decision on the part of the album producer?"
In fact, Roger has already given a percentage of the performance royalties, which shows that he has nodded his head to Henry's previous proposal, but at this time, when he heard Hugo's question, Roger still withdrew his attention and said again. Then, "If you think there is no problem, Hugo will be the producer, and then our company will send a professional producer to work with."
In fact, Hugo's opinion is exactly what Roger wants. This will ensure that the band's album reflects its own style to the greatest extent, and at the same time allow the company to grasp the production progress of the album anytime and anywhere. When it is necessary to'intervene' At least he won't be caught off guard, and he can give Hugo, a novice who has no experience at all, to give him the correct guidance.
Hugo knows that this is an opportunity as well as a challenge. If he agrees, he will see a brand new world in the future. Although many songwriters have successfully changed jobs later to become producers, and most record producers are He is a composer of song and music with a'color', but for Hugo, this is a brand new attempt.
Hugo took a deep breath, and then asked, "Then if we are willing to sign a contract, what is the company's plan next?"
Roger turned slightly in his mind, "What are your plans?" In fact, he was talking about "you/you". After all, as an actor, Hugo must consider whether there is a filming plan next.
"We plan to start in New York and continue our tour all the way back to the West Coast, but it should be a bit faster than the previous journey, because I will be busy at the end of the year." Hugo said, "Schindler's List" post-production has already entered At the end, Universal Pictures has delineated the movie's release time. It should be the end of November and the beginning of December. The company is currently actively finalizing the film.
Roger gave a soft cry. He didn't expect the band's tour to be over yet, but thinking about it carefully, this is also in line with the band's style. Then, a bold plan was constructed in Roger's mind, "You should now have enough songs to record an album, ten? Otherwise, eight?"
Hugo nodded to express his affirmation, and Roger immediately said, "Well, if you are willing to sign, then we will immediately start planning for the album. You are recording the album, and the company is doing it for the album. Planning. After the recording is over, you will set off on the tour again, as an album promotion, and when you arrive in Los Angeles, the album will be officially released."
According to the general album preparation process, this is naturally not feasible. The album must first start collecting songs, then choose the theme, and formulate the direction; record and produce the album; post-promotion plan and release plan. The entire preparation process is relatively long. But Glory to Death this time is an exception. First, if Hugo is the album producer, they already have the idea of the first album, and the songs are also very proficient, directly entering the recording studio, there is definitely no big problem; Secondly, the band originally planned to go back to the tour. This is the simplest and most direct publicity. There is no need to do anything deliberately. The record company can achieve the best publicity effect as long as the record company contacts the media and promotes a little "wave".
Of course, this is just a flash of Roger's plan, and the specific 'feasibility' still needs to be discussed at a meeting.
Roger's plan obviously exceeded the band's expectations. Hugo and Neal took a look at Henry at the same time, but Henry half closed his eyes at this time, as if he didn't know what was happening outside. Henry's meaning was very clear: He is currently not a band manager, his abilities have been demonstrated, and now he does not intend to continue to help.
Hugo looked back at his teammates. The five of them approached and discussed in a low voice. They said it was a discussion. In fact, they just changed their eyes. Neil whispered, "Everyone express their own opinions." It's clear, now it's up to the band members' thoughts, there is no need to discuss it.
Surprisingly, Fujin was the first to nod. How much time it will take to record an album, Hugo can't say for sure. He went into the recording studio once and knew that it depends on the status. If the status is "color", it's no problem to record a few songs a day. After all, one song is four. About minutes; but if you are in a bad state, you may not be able to complete the recording of a song in half a month and a month, because the recording studio is where everyone's shortcomings are exposed and then remedied.
After recording the album and continuing to tour, this has an impact on the band's plan, but it is not fatal; is the band ready now? It depends on the mental state of each member. Fujin was the first to nod, indicating that his confidence is the most abundant.
Then Neal nodded for the second time. It seemed that he was also full of confidence in the band. Alfonso hesitated and nodded heavily, slightly tragic. After all, as a keyboard player, if he participates in the recording of the album, the pressure he has to bear is very huge, probably second only to Hugo, who needs to take on the heavy responsibility of being a producer.
Instead, Pedro, who has always been confident, hesitated for a long time. He raised his head and looked at Hugo. Pedro is usually the most confident, but he also knows that as a bass player, he has always been the weakest player in the band. ring. Now, without the continued exercise of the return tour and just entering the recording studio, Pedro still lacks the confidence to make a final decision.
Hugo did not speak. He gently bit his'lip', pondered for a moment, and then thought for a while, why didn't the band in Memphis rush to sign an agent and release an album, and now a month has passed, Things have changed so drastically, are they really ready?
Hugo looked at the wrong instrument cable under his feet, and the scene of Memphis and the radio commander on the stage appeared in his mind. Hugo realized that this was 1993, the most glorious year of rock and roll. Glory to death has quietly become a participant in this golden age, so why not go further? Although it shows that there is no problem with re-release of the album in the next year, but I missed 1993, and I always feel a little regretful.
Thinking of this, Hugo clenched his fists and raised his head with a confident smile. He has been preparing for eleven years, and the day has finally come, so why hesitate? Then Hugo nodded firmly.
Pedro looked at Hugo's smile, the stiffness of the corners of his mouth melted away, and finally nodded vigorously.
The sights of the five people'crossed' with each other. Although they have not been established for four months, in fact, everyone has been on this journey for at least ten years. Now they have finally reached this point, and they are determined to move forward. Taking such an important step, the joy of heart was released in an instant.
Hugo raised his gaze and looked at Neal, lip-synching, "You are the captain," he thought it would be more appropriate for Neal to announce the decision of the five of them. Neil thought it was not important at all, and it didn't matter if Hugo answered. But looking at Hugo's firm eyes, Neil could only smile and shook his head, expressing his helplessness, and then turned to look at Roger. .
"We are willing to sign a contract with EMI Records."
After saying this, the joy on Roger's face bloomed without any cover, "That would be great" and then he stood up, "Then when shall we sign the contract?"
Neal didn't look at his teammate this time, but at Henry, who seemed to have been asleep sitting aside, "You can ask our agent, Henry Bloom."
Roger looked back at Henry, who slowly opened his eyes, and smiled. At this time Roger also understood that Henry was probably desperate today, and Henry was also betting on the determination to die for glory. After experiencing Mariah Carey's matter, Henry would finally appear in the music market again. Roger suddenly got a little itchy. He wanted to see what kind of repercussions Glory to Death would cause when it appeared on the market? More praise, more criticism; what about the popularity...
Henry heard the answer he wanted, he couldn't help but clenched his fist in his heart, and clenched his hands in his pockets, but on the surface he was still silent~www.mtlnovel.com~Roger, I thought, We can go to the door tomorrow to talk about these things in detail. Today, everyone is tired, right? "
Roger didn't try to pierce Henry either. It was obvious that he hadn't signed a contract with Glory To Death and couldn't represent the band, but he was looking for an excuse for "everyone is tired". He just smiled and said, "Of course not. Question. The details of the contract are a long process of discussion, and we need to take it slowly."
When Hugo and others left the EMI building under Roger's **** and stood at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 128th Street again, the bright sky couldn't help but feel shocked. Separated. At this moment, Hugo has this kind of feeling in his heart: In the rock age of 1993, I came
Henry still looked at the left and right unhurriedly, "Which way is the subway coming from?" He was looking at Hugo when he spoke, but Hugo did not answer, and Pedro standing next to him was the first. He couldn't help but laugh, followed by Alfonso, then Neil and Fogin.
And Henry, who didn't know why, looked at Hugo with an innocent face, confused.
