The summer of 1994 was always a hot one, from the summer slot of the film market, to the quadrennial World Cup, to the endless stream of classics, almost every week there was exciting news. The third week of August is no exception.

"After its release, it returned to the top of the North American weekend box office for the second time, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars, becoming one of the most kingly temperamental masterpieces of the year. Different from the works of "", "", "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King", are absolutely orthodox kingly style, so these two works have undoubtedly triggered a frenzy in the entire North American film market, and their influence even surpassed the "Schindler's List" at the end of last year, achieving the glory of 1994.

However, the biggest news of the week is not "", but the hot news of the reboot of the "007" series. As expected, the dinner party at George Lucas Malibu's private home was exposed by the paparazzi.

Just look at the guest list for this dinner and know that the news cannot be hidden, unless the paparazzi and media reporters in Los Angeles are in shock, the exposure of the news is a sure thing. But the problem is that the paparazzi sneaked into the mansion without finding any news, and almost all the waiters and all the service staff were convinced that it was just George's game.

But if the paparazzi give up, it will be too "journalistic ethics". So, after digging deeper, they came to this astonishing conclusion.

George had been with Barbara and Michael that night, and they talked to countless people, but there were several actors who talked for a significantly longer time, among which Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, and Hugo were the most conspicuous because they were all recent topics - Pierce had the longest conversation, lasting nearly twenty minutes.

After that, the paparazzi found Sam Neal, Mel Gibson, and a few third-rate actors who were not at all at this level but were able to attend the dinner - including Pierce, so the answer was to stand out, even if they didn't know what other actors were involved in the audition, but it was clear that this was the selection of the new "007".

The news was first reported, then confirmed by the New York Times, and in an instant it spread throughout the United States.

Almost everyone locked the news with such a sentence, "Hugo became the new James and Bond candidate", there is no doubt that there is no actor who can compete with Hugo in the near future, so it is natural that the major media have also adopted such an eye-catching title, when Hugo and James and Bond met, it produced a powerful and countless people joined the discussion.

I have to say, a good hand of chess.

Regardless of whether Hugo finally becomes James and Bond, and whether people agree that Hugo, a young man under the age of thirty, plays James and Bond, but at least the topic has occupied the commanding heights, and it is conceivable that the next new episode of James and Bond is bound to attract countless eyeballs.

The third week of August was noisy because of "" and "007", but just as the week was coming to an end, on Sunday, August 21, EMI Records announced that the second album of Glory to Death will be released on August 25, and this news completely ignited the tail of summer, making people clearly feel the incomparable heat of this summer.

Now, when people think of glory to death, the first thing that comes to mind is the splendor and grandeur of the "Glory Trail" tour, and the second is "Don't be upset about the past" (don, t. look。 ba。 anger)", and the third one to emerge is Hugo.

It can be seen that Glory to Death has gradually got rid of Hugo's personal influence, relying on a tour and a single to establish his own image, which also means that Glory to Death really has a place in the rock circle.

So, when EMI Records announced that the second album of Honor to Death was about to be released, the entire music market was boiling.

At this time, less than ten months have passed since the release of "Almost Fame", and the second album will be released by Glory to Death, although the interval is relatively short in terms of time, but it is normal, and the most important thing is actually the quality of the second album, which is what everyone is looking forward to the most: Can Glory to Death continue the excellent performance of "Almost Famous"?

The pair of enemies of "Rotation" David Marches and "Alternative Choice" Vincent Brooke have obviously collided again.

Although "Alternative Choice" has also said good things about Glory to Death before this, in fact, in essence, Vincent still does not think that Glory to Death music should be considered rock.

In Vincent's view, the glorious music style is actually just rock elements, and then in order to win the favor of the market, Tian shamelessly mixes different musical elements, which is an absolute insult to rock and roll. And in this case, the second album of Glory to Death is bound to decline in quality, more and more cliché, and more and more mediocre, "They will be immersed in their own 'new metal rock' music, and then they will get drunk and dream, but they don't know that they are like the poison of those who sleep in the garbage heap in the poor streets and think they are billionaires." Addiction sufferers in general. ”

Vincent firmly believes that if the music style continues to develop in glory to death, the quality of the music will get worse and worse, and the technology that rock bands are proud of will gradually degenerate into mediocrity, and eventually become a complete saliva music, drowning in the music market. The second album of Glory to Death will prove his point.

If Hugo had read Vincent's comments, he would have applauded, and although Vincent's words were very ugly, he accurately predicted the future of the new metal rock. In fact, this is the biggest difference between Honor to Death and the post-neo-metal rock: the members of the band Honor to Death have never given up honing their skills, and their pursuit of musical quality has not been accompanied by a little achievement to let their guard down.

But objectively speaking, Vincent does have strength, and there is a reason why "alternative choice" can win the support of rock's valued fans and endure for a long time. Vincent's ability to predict with such accuracy as creepy is admirable alone.

On the other hand, David Marches is a staunch supporter of Glory to Death, and he believes that judging from the five tracks that Hugo has released during the "Road to Glory" tour, the album not only has not declined in quality, but on the contrary, it has been upgraded across the board, and the rise in the strength of the band members of Glory to Death - including Hugo himself can be clearly felt.

In David's view, Hugo, as a lead singer, is also constantly growing, from the initial youth to the current full control, Hugo's growth is not only rapid but also amazing; And Hugo, as a sword author, his continuous vitality is even more admirable, as long as Hugo can keep his head sober until his death, he has not burst out of sucking. Poison. Scandals, even in the rock circle, then glory to death can continue this strongness.

David and Vincent have their own opinions, and this is actually the state of affairs among rock fans, and the debate that has continued since the end of last year has not yet reached a conclusion - and in fact it will never come to fruition, even after n-10 years, there are still rock diehards who refuse to admit that new metal rock is part of them. And this time, the debate is one more item: what exactly will be the quality of the second album of Honor to Death? Will they be able to continue their "near-famous" streak?

Especially now there is one of the most important things: a generation of Tianjiao Kote Cobain has disappeared, the Nirvana band has been scattered in the past few months, and the Nirvana that has lost its soul can no longer radiate its vitality, although the garbage band led by Pearl Sauce and Alice Prisoner is still strong, but now the entire rock market is constantly innovating - the new generation of bands led by the Crushed Pumpkin Band and the Glory to Death continue to attack, so the next rock market trend is also confusing.

In fact, the release of the second album of Honor to Death was released almost two months later than expected, and when the "Glory Road" tour entered the second half of the tour in early July, the news that the band was about to release a second album began to be reported in the media, and there was a heated discussion at the time.

People thought that EMI Records would strike while the iron was hot, but they didn't expect that the news had been hyped for more than a month, and the summer was coming to an end, and the news of the second album was "long overdue". But it still caused a huge storm," "Fiercely crossed the $200 million threshold, and Hugo recently had a date with Cameron, and then there was the story he and James Bond had to tell, so the news swept the North American continent as soon as it came out.

There are people who watch the excitement, there are people who watch the show, there are people who look forward to the album, and there are people who are fanatical about the band...... As August 25 approaches, the entire North American market is warming up for the arrival of the second album of Honor to Death.

On August 22, two groups of fans, probably no fewer than 200, appeared on Hollywood Avenue in Los Angeles and Times Square in New York, all wearing black plastic raincoats with a pit bull with a bauhinia crown in its mouth and the words "D" written underneath. 0。 "These people didn't do anything, just stood in place, so that many pedestrians stopped to watch, they stood in place for nearly an hour, and even caused quite a stir, many people thought it was performance art, ushered in a heated discussion among tourists and pedestrians.

It soon became clear that this was more than just a performance art, because on August 23, two more groups of fans appeared in Seattle, Chicago, Houston and Miami at the same time, this time about 300 people, all wearing the same black plastic raincoats and the same pattern behind them!
