Comeback 525 Professional Perspective

In the amoeba music store, the meeting between Glory to Death and the song 'fans' is not only difficult to scream and shout, but also more of a musical 'exchange', which is a very wonderful thing, when the band members learned that the music they made Zuò resonated with many people, and even became the 'spirit' pillar of many people, there is more than one little 'girl' like Sally, which makes the band have an indescribable feeling.

Isn't that a term that should be used by top singers like Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Bob and Dylan? How many people fell in love with rock and roll because of the Beatles, how many people fell in love with music because of Michael and Jackson, and how many people understood the power of "spirit" because of Bob and Dylan......

But now, there are people who feel satisfied, resonate, and feel the power of pillars because of the music of glory to death, which is undoubtedly the biggest affirmation of musicians, which also shows that the direction that glory to death has been working in is correct!

Actually, the time spent at the amoeba music this morning was not long, less than two hours in total, but it was a new experience for the band members, and the whole carriage was bustling with activity when they left Telegraph Street.

"Wow, did you see that surging crowd just now, I wonder if the whole university students are pouring into Telegraph Street." Pedro muttered excitedly, his face filled with a red 'tide' that could not be dissipated.

"If the calculus is only six hundred." Fujin came out with a sentence next to him, which immediately made Pedro depressed.

Hugo ignored the two of them, took out the band's album from his pocket, and then asked Samora, who was driving, "Where did you put the pile of vinyl records I just bought?"

"In the first row of seats." Samora had just taken up his post today, and he was pushed directly into the driver's position by Henry, but it can be seen that he quickly got into the working state, and everything was quickly started.

"You bought our album?" Neil looked at the album in Hugo's hand and said in surprise.

Hugo stood up, and saw a brown 'colored' paper bag in the first row of seats, which contained all the treasures he had just bought, took it, and then sat back in his seat, "Yes, buy one as a souvenir." What, isn't that weird?"

"No," Neil shook his head with a mysterious smile before taking an album out of his pocket as well, "I bought one too." Originally, Neil was worried that only he bought one by himself, which seemed too strange, so he kept it secret, but he didn't expect that Hugo actually bought it too, which immediately made him feel that he had found a soulmate.

Seeing Hugo and Neil smiling sneakily there, Alfonso, who was sitting in the back, also laughed, "I bought one too." ”

"And me." Pedro didn't know when he heard the conversation and spoke.

When Hugo looked back at Fokine, his calm eyes obviously told Hugo the answer: he also bought one. Sure enough, it was a partner in a band, and everyone was so smart, which made everyone laugh.

Ignoring the noisy voices behind him, Henry was busy in the passenger seat, he took out a list and pondered it carefully.

Although he was not familiar with Henry, he had heard Hugo say that he would need to cooperate with Henry in many jobs in the future, so he took a little attention and took the initiative to ask, "What are you studying?" Without receiving an answer from Henry, Samora was not discouraged or worried about embarrassment, glanced at the list in Henry's hand, and then said in surprise, "Are these lists from professional music magazines?"

Henry raised an eyebrow slightly, "You actually know this?" He looked a little surprised. Hum Li originally thought that Samora was just an assistant who Hugo found to deal with chores, after all, there is a big difference between an assistant and a manager, and the manager is the position responsible for the communication between the agent and the artist, but he didn't expect that Samora was obviously much more capable than he imagined.

"There's a whole bunch of them at home." Samora smiled, and that honest smile easily gave people a good impression.

"In the future, if you want to read these magazines, Hugo will have a lot of them, and you don't have to buy them anymore, and reading magazines and newspapers is also one of our jobs." Henry was still lying in the passenger seat as if he had no bones, and even the noise of the band members behind him had no effect on him, but he was talking to Samora, which was very rare. It seems that Henry also realized that if Samora could take on more work, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Samora, however, did not have this kind of self-consciousness, and laughed haha, "I just look at the magazines, and my taste in music is not very consistent with those music critics. ”

"Normal, music critics are human beings." Music critics' opinions have their own aesthetic tendencies, but they are more professional, so it is normal for really senior music lovers to have their own opinions, and it is normal for them to agree or disagree with music critics.

"Are you thinking about looking for magazines to write music reviews for bands?" Samora got to the point at once.

In fact, the reason why large record companies are rich in resources is that music criticism is one of them. It's a bad thing when a rookie singer comes along without any critics, and the difference between a big label and an independent label is that there's a huge difference in the number of critics and media they can reach. To give a simple example, if "Rolling Stone" gives a recommendation to the cover of the magazine, then it is obvious that the singer's attention is on a rocket, and as for the results after the attention, it depends on the level of the album.

Henry nodded, then shook his head again, "Yes and no, in fact, these magazines will write music reviews, it's just a matter of time." "With EMI Records in the background and Henry, a veteran manager, Honor to Death doesn't have to worry about exposure at all," I now think about which magazines will send the first reviews. ”

"I didn't know that these could still be controlled!" Samora seemed surprised, he thought that all the press releases were just a one-breath contact and then sent out in one breath.

Henry smiled, "These controls are necessary until the band achieves a wide range of attention, and after the band achieves a certain success, it doesn't matter." Henry obviously had the intention of teaching Samora - in order to share his workload, so he continued, "Since we have no way to control the content of the magazine's music reviews, they say good is good, and bad is bad, this is their profession, and we have no way to ......"

"But aren't there any music critics you're familiar with?" Samora interrupted Henry, and said suspiciously. Music critics are also human beings, in addition to their professions, they must have relatives and personal preferences, and it is impossible to write music reviews as 100% neutral as machine people, but they are relatively neutral. What's more, in the entertainment industry, there is no absolute neutrality without any interests, there is always only relative neutrality.

"It doesn't work for them." Henry pointed to the members of the band who were laughing behind him, the glory of the first album, he hoped that these music critics would evaluate with an objective eye, praise or criticism, this is just the beginning, he believes that the band has the strength to withstand the feedback of reality.

"Music critics aside, but each magazine also has a different genus of 'sex', 'Rolling Stone' is more conservative and more popular, but it has the greatest influence; 'Rotation' is very 'sex', and they are also very supportive of alternative rock, but they have already praised the band once before when the band was on tour, and then they are the first to speak, the power is definitely not enough; 'Q Magazine' has a unique influence in the UK, and they also attach the most importance to rock, but it is the far other side of the Atlantic......" Henry counted one by one, These magazines are influential enough, but the band's first music reviews cannot be selected solely by influence, some magazines with strong appeal in a narrow field, and some non-professional music magazines cannot be ignored by the general media, which is a very important but also cumbersome project.

Samora listened to Henry lazily talking, this is the real eye-opener, different from the perspective of the fans looking at the magazines, the professionals obviously pay different attention to the magazines.

The simplest example is "Rolling Stone", although "Rolling Stone" is currently the highest-selling and most influential magazine in the United States and even the world, and there are even many music "fans" who worship "Rolling Stone" magazine and worship it as the Bible, but in the eyes of professionals, the band of Glory to Death is not suitable for "Rolling Stone", this is not a question of whether "Rolling Stone" is willing to promote Glory to Death, but it is a "sexual" problem between the two of them, even if "Rolling Stone" wants to invite Glory to Death on the cover, It is estimated that Henry and EMI Records will hesitate.

Although Samora has a deep and even professional understanding of music, he has always observed from the perspective of a 'fan', so at this time Henry is telling him a whole new world, he can only listen ignorantly, but he can't say a word. But it was a moment of excitement for Samora, the first time he had such a real and profound encounter with the profile of music, which convinced him that the job would be extremely 'fine'.

Glory to Death simply ended the first day of the album's release, but the excitement of the entire American music industry has just begun, because today, Glory to Death, a unique and shocking band, has truly entered the music market, and music critics, professional magazines, and veteran fans have all set their eyes on it: Was the band on the road tour across the United States a gimmick or did it have real material?

And those media who pay attention to Hugo's identity as an actor will naturally not miss this excitement: what is the strength of the band with Hugo? Is this serious or is it 'sexual' to play tickets?

This qiē is constantly being heated up and brewing when the topic of "Schindler's List" is hot.
