The comeback of the East Mountain 425 briefly 'exchanged' confrontation.

There are not 100 or 80 rock bands that Roger has seen, in fact, most rock bands are relatively rebellious, and their 'sexuality' is very flamboyant, even sharp, because rock is a kind of music genre that is a symbol of 'spirit' and god. Purely technically, rock is a fusion of jazz, blues, country and gospel, but that doesn't make rock and roll all the rage, and the 'spirit' of rock is the core idea of this kind of music.

Popular dressing, 'exciting' thoughts, decadent attitude, husky singing voice...... This seems to be the stereotype that people have about rock and roll, which may not be accurate, but it shows the core of the rock 'spirit' from the side. Similar to the reflection and rebellion of society, the self-consciousness of youth includes love and peace without politics, opposition to religion or support for religion, hedonism or indulgence. 'Desire'. ism, pessimism and nihilism...... These contradictory ideas became the core 'spirit' of rock 'n' roll, and even the Beatles, who seemed the most "decent" on the outside, had no shortage of 'radical' ideas against war, hedonism, 'drug' experience, surrealism, etc.

In recent years, with the gradual rise of grunge and metal rock represented by Nirvana, the decadent, dark, flamboyant and rebellious style of rock bands has become a kind of 'tide'. But Glory to Death looks very different, the five members are all dressed in T-shirts and denim pants, looking like students who have just graduated from college, and their faces also have a youthful "spring" and "forced" vitality, without the slightest stereotype that everyone has of rock bands recently.

But after the actual contact, just a few words, you can feel the kind of 'sex' in the bones of the band members, not rebellious, not flamboyant, not sharp, but there is a kind of indomitable firmness, only in the name of the band "glory to death" to see some unhesitating determination and wantonness.

Just by looking at the face, Roger can see a lot of details, as a member of the middle management of EMI Records, he must be able to make accurate judgments, although their judgments are not necessarily 100% accurate, more often they just rely on intuition, but experience is wealth, and their intuition is not empty.

Roger looked at Neil, who was speaking, then smiled and raised his eyebrows, and returned his gaze to the "New York Times" on the table, "I originally thought it was just a reporter's exaggeration, which made me a little tempted to join you on tour, but now it seems that it is not necessarily all praise piled up with words." ”

"Are you questioning my ability to identify? If it was, I'd be disappointed. Henry suddenly 'interjected', breaking the bond between Roger and Neil face-to-face and attracting Roger's attention. He's doing his job as a broker.

Roger couldn't help but laugh, "I forgot about you." Aren't you sitting in my office right now, though? Roger squinted at Henry, who was still lazy, as if he hadn't noticed Roger's irony.

"I've been sitting here for three minutes without even a cup of coffee, which is not a positive sign." Henry looked as if he was complaining about poor hospitality, but his hazy eyes kept locked on Roger's eyes.

Roger didn't mind at all, shrugged his shoulders, and stood up directly, "Then it depends on whether you deserve a cup of coffee from me, how about it, go downstairs and go directly to see, what is it about you that impresses the New York Times... Also impressed...... Mr. Bloom, it's autumn now, and I didn't expect to see him bloom again. ”

Seeing Roger stand up, the band members all stood up one after another, leaving Henry alone still sitting in place, lazily stretching out his hand for everyone to sit down, although he was dressed more formally today, but his demeanor still looked like a lazy man, this sense of disobedience maintained the rhythm of the negotiation in the office at a balance point, very delicate, "We still have some prerequisites to discuss, don't we?" ”

Roger stood up and looked at Henry condescendingly, but Henry seemed to be sunbathing, and didn't feel the fierceness in Roger's eyes at all. ”

"For example, the problem of the band making people." Henry pursed his lips and squinted his eyes for a long time before he said such a very specific and central question.

For any album, the producer is a crucial position, because the producer is at the helm of the album's style, market positioning, and singer level, to exaggerate it, an excellent producer can make a singer with mediocre qualifications into an idol admired by everyone, and in turn, a bad producer can make a top singer release an album that is spurned.

Roger's button-up of his suit was slow and gentlemanly, but his response to Henry was not slow at all, "Do you have someone worth recommending?" "In fact, the production is the transfer of initiative between the record company and the singer.

In the big record labels, they will find senior and big-name producers, which is a resource that independent record companies can't find, but at the same time, these producers will also create albums according to the wishes of the big record labels, and the amount of creative freedom that the producers give to the singers is completely controlled by the record companies.

Henry still did not have a gentleman leaning on the sofa, as if he had fallen into deep thought because of Roger's rhetorical question, and for a moment the office fell silent, everyone stood and looked at each other, only Henry sat alone. And Henry was still at ease, and Roger was not in a hurry in the face of this embarrassing situation, and still looked at Henry calmly.

Hugo, who was standing on the side, watched the 'confrontation' between Henry and Roger, this kind of confrontation without seeing the fire 'flower' was full of tension, don't look at Henry's lazy appearance, in fact, both of them are old foxes, and there has been more than one back and forth between you and me. It can be seen from this short 'confrontation' just now that Henry is indeed a veteran agent, much more experienced than Joseph, and he has similar abilities to top agents such as Ron Meyer, Rick Rosen, and Martin Baum, but the aura and methods are different.

Henry thought for a while, about ten seconds, the ten seconds of blank stunned fell into silence, so that the whole office fell into a stiff, only Henry and Roger are still at ease, the others are very uncomfortable, but Hugo is happy in it, and thinks this kind of 'confrontation' is very interesting.

Suddenly, Henry squinted at Hugo, which made Hugo stunned, and then heard Henry speak, "Hugo Lancaster, what do you think?" ”

This is talking about the control of people, how did it come to Hugo? After Hugo was stunned for a moment, he also reacted, in fact, Henry was fulfilling his promise: he was fighting for as much freedom as possible for glory to death. If Hugo is the leader of the band, in fact, the overall direction of the band's album is in the hands of the band itself.

Roger clearly wrote the accident on his face, looked at Henry for about two seconds, and then turned his gaze to Hugo for a moment, and then said, "This is a choice I did not expect." However, I think it would be a good start to wait until we see what the band is capable of. ”

Roger did not refuse or affirm, but proposed to see the strength of the band first, which is also the most natural choice, "So, let's go downstairs, there should be your handy instrument there." Roger's words were directed at the band, but his eyes were on Henry.

This time Henry didn't refuse, he slowly stood up, "Boys, it's time for you to play. But I think, it's the New York Times, and so much praise, and there's a lot of pressure on your shoulders. "Henry's idea of letting Hugo be the producer of the album just now is actually a statement, so that Roger will have more focus on the next performance of the band, and at the same time have a further understanding of the band's requirements and style.

Roger then turned his head to look at Hugo, and showed a bright smile, "The most important thing is Henry's recommendation, you know, this old guy's strength is admired by many people." Did you know? Nirvana was originally introduced by Henry to Jonathan Ponman. ”

Hugo looked at Henry unexpectedly, and the other members of the band couldn't help but stop, this is an explosive 'sex' news, but Henry has just stood up, his steps are still unsteady, and when he heard Roger's words, he sneered, "The introducer, but he is not a maker, nor is he an agent, there are many such things in the circle." I will never tell you, in fact, it is also my opinion that the Radiohead Band should come to the United States to develop. ”

Henry's expression of deliberately selling off the guanzi seemed to be true and false, making it impossible to distinguish the truth, but Roger did not refute, but smiled hehehe, and walked in the front to lead the way. Henry paced behind Roger faster than the tortoise, but the members of Glory to Death looked at each other in surprise: they seemed to have met someone amazing.

However, Hugo still knows more about the situation in the circle, he shook his head with a smile, and signaled to everyone that this is nothing. In fact, this is the case, the top agents in the circle have actually dealt with some hot big stars more or less, but as Henry himself said, he is not a maker or an agent, but just an introducer, and the credit is not on Henry at all, and if Henry is really qualified, the network in the circle is simply wider than they imagined, so this is really nothing.

However, Henry's success with Mariah Kelly and the fact that they were able to get an audition for EMI Records for an obscure rock band were enough to prove his ability.

Seeing Hugo's signal, everyone settled down a little, and Neil, who was standing next to him, hurriedly reminded, "Hurry up, it's time for us to show our hands." "Whether you can get a contract with EMI Records, and whether you can have the upper hand in negotiations with EMI and Henry, the next performance is crucial
