The inside page of the comeback 450 album

For movies, trailers and posters are needed as a medium to complete the work, but the trailers and posters of the movie are relatively special, and the trailers are edited according to the plot of the movie, and a large part of the posters are filmed with makeup during the filming of the movie.

But for albums, it is different, an album first needs an album cover, which is people's first impression of the album, and before people hear the music, the cover can show the 'color' and tone of the album on a certain degree; Secondly, the album also needs the inside page of the album and the promotional poster, unlike the movie, which is the carrier of the combination of picture and sound, the album only has sound, so the inside page and poster are an important supplement to the album.

Of course, with the rise of Michael Jackson, the importance of music videos in album promotion has also risen to a whole new level. In the 21st century, the release of music videos can become a crucial part of album promotion, and singles with music videos and singles without music videos will be very different in terms of sales, on-demand rates, and attention.

However, EMI Records does not plan to shoot music videos for Glory to Death for the time being, because this is a very expensive expense, and at present, EMI Records has invested a high amount of production costs in Glory to Death, from the recording studio to CD copying, etc., which are far beyond the original plan of EMI. Therefore, EMI Records decided to decide whether to make a music video or a few music videos according to the results of the album released after the release of the Glory to Death album, which is also a more common planning method for new singers.

The inside pages of the album in the early 90s were not cumbersome, and the accompanying pages of the tapes were usually lyrics and tracklists, while the accompanying pages of the CD had a few more photos of the singers, and that's it. Unlike the inside pages of albums that have entered the 21st century, sometimes even a booklet, the inside pages alone weigh a few ounces, and some singers' albums are simply a big gift bag, in addition to the album, there are DVDs\ photos and some peripherals. The main reason is that the music market is shrinking, and record companies can only use guò as a means to make the 'fans' feel that they are worth the money, so they are willing to pay for the album.

So in the early 90s, shooting the inside of the album was not a hard job, as long as the album cover was shot, the work was basically half done, and the rest was to shoot a few 'fine' photos that could be made into a huge poster, and the work was completed. But even so, it was a completely new job for the members of Glory to Death, full of uncertain excitement.

When they arrived at the photo booth, the band members were surprised, because the studio looked like an abandoned warehouse, not at all like a professional venue for photo shoots, and even if it was a haunted wasteland, there was no sense of disobedience.

Hugo naturally knows more about this, whether it is in the past year or so, Hugo has been interviewed by many magazines, taking pictures is one of them; Or is it that Lancaster's memory is no stranger to this kind of scene, "This kind of warehouse is convenient for setting up a background, and the rental fee is relatively cheap, so it is more suitable as a photo spot." ”

"No wonder we're all about to get to New Jersey." Alfonso looked at the barren landscape around him and couldn't help but sigh.

Henry and Pedro were at the front, and the team of photographers had already greeted them, and Henry turned back and called, "If you are looking for a treasure location, I think there will be a little more 'sex' in it; Of course, if you're looking for a place to hide the body......"

These words made the staff who came out to greet them also laugh, and Hugo and the others also quickly followed. The staff member standing next to him took the initiative to introduce himself, "Good afternoon, I'm Elle Miller (e11ie. mi11er), Albert Watson). ”

This 'woman' named Elle is over thirty years old, but she still has the playfulness of a young 'girl', and the tip of her nose and freckles on her cheeks are dotted with her bright smile, which can easily bring people a good mood. After shaking hands with the band members, she smiled at Hugo, "Hey, Hugo, see you again." ”

"I hope today's shooting is a good thing, Albert is in a good mood today?" Hugo returned with a smile, and walked into the warehouse side by side with Ellie.

Elle shrugged, "He's not there yet, he should be in the studio listening to your album mastering, so you can start praying." Elle winked slyly at Hugo and walked forward, "I think you can start with styling preparations, Albert should be on the scene at any time." ”

"You know?" Alfonso, who was standing next to Hugo, asked curiously.

Hugo followed Alfonso's line of sight and found that Alfonso's eyes had been staring at Ellie, and he immediately smiled knowingly, "Just working together for. U.S. Weekly, filmed a feature only. Alfonso immediately understood what Hugo meant, and cast an inquiring glance at Hugo, Hugo pouted and made a "please" gesture, and Alfonso immediately 'revealed' a smile and walked in the direction of Ellie, obviously to go over to talk.

As soon as Hugo turned around, his gaze staggered with Neil and Fogin, and all three of them smiled at each other. Forkine looked around and asked a little nervously, "How is this photographer?" Very strict? "Listening to Hugo's ridicule just now, it seems that the photographer is not very easy to get along with.

Hugo smiled and patted Fokine on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Albert is a very 'outstanding' photographer, just believe in his professionalism." It's not something we're good at, and even if we don't do it well, it's normal. "Taking pictures and music are two completely different things, which makes Forkine a little uneasy, but in fact, not only Forkin, the band members are all nervous and expectant.

Albert Watson, one of the top professionals in the early 90s, was blind in one eye at birth, and after completing his studies at the Royal College of Art in London, he became an official photographer for the world's top magazine "Vogue" in the second half of the 70s.

After choosing New York as his place of residence, Albert's photography career developed rapidly throughout the eighties, and his work was always attracted by ruins and ruins, and the rich cultural heritage is the most savorable part of his work, and people can often read the era and its significance through his photographs.

Today, Albert is one of the top photographers in the industry, known as one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, and people often have to book an appointment months in advance to get a photo shoot with him, and this year he made a splash with a photo shoot for a man named Katemos, and no one knew that the sensation caused by the model was just the beginning.

EMI Records invited Albert to shoot the album cover for Glory to Death, not only as an importance, but also as an interpretation of the album's style orientation, hoping to show the historical moments of Glory to Death music through the lens of Guò Albert. So before taking pictures, EMI Records asked Albert to listen to the album mastering, hoping that Albert could find enough inspiration.

Listening to Hugo's comfort, Fukin's nervousness was still not much relieved, Neil stepped forward and patted Fukine on the shoulder, "What's the use of thinking so much, just grit your teeth and go forward to shoot." That heroic expression made Hugo laugh, and Neil immediately said, "Look, Hugo is relaxed, he is experienced, and we will let him start shooting first, learn to watch, things are not so bad." ”

"yes, no, you can just take a picture of the back or a blurry image." Hugo's ridicule made Fujin laugh helplessly

"So, what do we start with?" Neil raised his voice and shouted to Henry not far ahead.

Pedro stood right next to Henry and shouted, "Guys, look, this looks like Broadway, are we going to put all this stuff on our faces?" ”

Hugo and the others quickly followed, and Henry had already found a place next to the dressing table and sat down, "I think you should ask the professionals, I have no research on makeup." "I looked like I was the shopkeeper, and I almost didn't take out a 'bed' or 'hair' blanket and took a nap here.

For the band members, the dressing table is a completely unfamiliar part, and looking at the dazzling array of makeup products on the stage is a sight to behold.

At this moment, a bewitching man with black eyeliner walked by, and he skillfully found a round pink 'color' box among the countless boxes on the table, and then picked up a round puff next to it, put it on his right index finger and middle finger, and turned to look at the members of the band, "Who will come first?" ”

Before the band members seemed to react, no one had time to speak, but the man, who was obviously the makeup artist, was a little impatient, and he casually pointed to Neil who was closest to him and said, "Then you, sit down, I'll make you feel new right away." ”

"What is this?" Neil looked at the makeup artist in front of him with a stern expression, pointed to the small box in his hand and asked seriously.

"Foundation." The man with heavy makeup was full of puzzlement, this is not a shocking thing, it is the most basic of cosmetics, why the band member in front of him seems to have done something heinous. "It's just the bare basics, don't make such a fuss, okay?"

Neil looked at the thick makeup of the man in front of him, but he frowned, and even took a small step back, and looked at Henry sitting next to him with a puzzled expression, "Do we have to put on makeup?" It's not our band's style, is it? ”

In fact, not only Neil, but also Foquin and Pedro also frowned slightly, unconsciously combing the makeup artist in front of them, and even Hugo was a little frightened when he saw the makeup artist's miserable white foundation, let alone others.
