Dongshan Comeback 443 is officially invited

The deep malice of autumn can already be felt in New York in October, and it is becoming more and more ferocious as the footsteps of November gradually approach, and the sycamore leaves do not have time to spin in the air before they are swept away by the strong wind, and the occasional long trench coat and scarf on the street is no longer surprising.

The glorious recording work has entered the fourth week of the schedule in the blink of an eye, and although it was stumbling at the beginning, once it was in the groove, the training of the band's three-month tour showed its advantages, and the recording of the instrumental performance was smooth, and the pressure fell on the shoulders of lead singer Hugo.

However, Hugo is not the amateur who only relied on his interest to hum two songs when he recorded the ending song of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea" last year, and more than 200 street performances in the past year have allowed Hugo to gradually 'grope' to find his own way of singing.

As a co-producer, Hieran's fit with the musical philosophy of Honor to Death is arguably the most important cornerstone of this partnership, and it is also the wisest part of EMI Records' planning for the band's debut album, and of course, the band's luck, which made the recording of the Honor to Death debut album at least half the time than expected, and there is no doubt that all the recording work will be completed before the end of October.

But today, Hugo didn't stay in the studio, but agreed to leave EMI Records in a taxi, he looked out of the window of the taxi, and asked the driver uncertainly, "Are you sure this is it?" ”

"Yes, on the left side of the road, you can see it when you cross the road." The driver said kindly, he turned around and found Hugo's blankness, so he thoughtfully pointed to his left hand side, "Look, there, do you see it?" ”

Hugo was about to get off the bus on the right side, but now he sat on the left side of the car, and sure enough, he saw the destination, the sign with red letters on a black background "Kmulmeass of the House of Cole 'Montas)", which was slightly cold in the autumn wind. "Yes, thank you"

Hugo paid the fare, opened the car 'door' and walked to the sidewalk, looking at the unfamiliar street around him, he was now standing on Headmaster Street in Greenwich Village, and heard the driver say that a little further past was Greenwich Street (gree), the band had been around the neighborhood several times before when they were performing, but Hugo still felt a blank in his head: had he really been here before?

Finding a family restaurant in a vast area was no easy task, but luckily Quentin gave Hugo the full address, which allowed Hugo to get there directly by taxi. If you take Subway Line 1 and get off at Van Coltland Park 242nd Street Station (vm.parkˉ 242.st), as Quentin said, it's only 300 feet (100 meters) away, but Hugo is sure he'll get lost in the area for a while.

Standing on the side of the street, Hugo pulled on his navy blue trench coat, he only wore a short-sleeved T-shirt inside, so it was still a little cold to stand in the wind, and then walked to the street 'junction' to prepare to cross the crosswalk, at this time it was a red light, Hugo could only stop and wait. At this moment, Hugo's eyes saw a huge "M" sign behind him, no more than two hundred feet (sixty meters) away, and the surging crowd made the underground exit of the sign even more obvious, and Hugo suddenly had a black line on his forehead.

The red light turned green, and Hugo withdrew his gaze, comforting himself: at least he could take the subway when he went home, and then walked briskly across the zebra crossing towards the restaurant of the Cole Montatas.

Yesterday Quentin called Hugo and asked him to meet for dinner, originally Quentin was going to have dinner together, but Hugo has been in the recording work recently, and there is not much time, so it was changed to lunch. Hugo took advantage of the gap between the morning recording and ran over to meet Quentin, and after the meal, he had to rush back to the studio to continue today's work.

Walking into this Italian-style family restaurant, the cute fat uncle at the 'door' took Hugo's coat, and after asking Hugo, he walked towards the restaurant with Hugo. The space of the restaurant is not large, there are less than 20 seats within sight, it is not a booth type, but a simple square table, and there is a huge stove on the left side of the restaurant, and a chef is making zuò pizza dough on the spot.

Hugo had only walked three steps before he saw Quentin sitting at a four-person dining table, about five paces away from the stove, a little warm but not too hot, but a good position. At this time, it is the end of the lunch rush for office workers, and there are seven or eight white-collar workers standing in line to take out, but there are not so many people sitting in the seats to enjoy lunch, and the restaurant looks very empty.

"Is there anything you can't eat or don't like to eat? I've already ordered a pizza first, and they can order their own pizza toppings, and if you are forbidden, you can order another one. Quentin politely stood up and said with a smile on his face.

Quentin actually wore a formal suit today, although he didn't wear a tie, but the blue 'color' shirt and black 'color' suit 'pants' were still slightly formal, which made Hugo, who was wearing a T-shirt and denim 'pants', a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I don't have any requirements for food." When he said this, Hugo was reminded of Samora Casvi, a cute fan of the food, and if they had known that Glory to Death had signed a contract, perhaps they would have been happier than the band themselves. This made the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth can't help but rise, "Why did you think of having dinner with me today, and you are dressed so formally, should there be any important people coming today, my dress is not very good." ”

Quentin smiled and shook his head, "No, no, it's just that I have a meeting in the morning." Miramax, do you know about this company? "When Quentin called Hugo yesterday, he knew that Hugo was very busy now, and he also 'took time' to eat, so just now Hugo went straight to the point, Quentin was not surprised, and he quickly got to the point.

"Of course, of course, Weinstein." Hugo nodded, sat down, then opened the napkin and put it under the plate, picked up the glass and took a sip of water. Autumn is dry, and Hugo has to protect his throat in order to record, so drinking water has recently become a habitual 'sexual' action, "You have a collaborative project with them

As mentioned earlier, after the 21st century, the Oscars have the world's top influence, so that the awards season starts in October and ends in February every year, but the name of the awards season is officially introduced after the 71st Oscars in 1999. dn。 love)" defeated "Saving Private Ryan" to win Best Picture as a symbol.

Whether in terms of word-of-mouth or quality, as well as the depth of the connotation of the work, "Saving Private Ryan" is truly worthy of the title of Best Picture. But "Shakespeare's Love History" has completed an incredible reversal with the strong public relations skills of film companies and film producers, of course, this reversal has been criticized as the most speechless choice of the Oscars until 20 years later.

Since then, terms such as awards season and college public relations have officially surfaced, which has also made the Oscars out of a simple film event and a stage for marketing, strategy, and public relations.

It can be said that this completely changed the tone of the Oscars, and of course, it also pushed the Oscars to another extreme. Some people think that Oscar has lost its authoritative and impartial professional image, while others think that Oscar is no longer authentic, but it is undeniable that Oscar's global attention has reached a new level, and its commercial achievements are leading the world.

The key person who changed the direction of the entire film industry, directly directed the emergence of the awards season, and changed the annual distribution strategy of major film companies was the Weinstein brothers of Miramax.

Bob Weinstein The emergence of the two brothers, Harvey Weinstein, has become one of the most important independent film companies in American film history, Miramax is an independent film company they established in the seventies, and this year it was acquired by Disney for 80 million US dollars and became an independent studio owned by Mickey Mouse.

According to one statistic, as of the 76th Oscars in 2004, Miramax Film has been nominated for a total of 249 Oscars, and has won back 60 of them.

Therefore, the industry also has a joking name for the Weinstein brothers as "Oscar professionals", of course, there are countless professionals who hate the Weinstein brothers for turning the Oscar film event into a commercial event, and there will be opposition to the "wave" and "tide" almost every year.

Quentin is a rookie director raised by the Weinstein brothers, and all his works in the first ten years of directing were sponsored and distributed by the Weinstein brothers.

So as soon as Quentin mentioned Miramax, Hugo reacted. Sure enough, Quentin nodded in affirmation of Hugo's guess, "Yes, I'm preparing for my second film." I'm having a meeting with Harvey today to discuss a possible 'sex'. Quentin said this, paused, looked at Hugo, and then said seriously and cautiously, "What do you think of the possibility of inviting you to star in my second directorial work at a low price?" ”
