Dongshan Comeback 453 Travel lightly ps: Today's third update, thank you for the 10,000 reward of black 'color' peach 'flower', plus more to send! Sprinkle 'flowers'!
River Phoenix, the child-born singer and actor, began his brief but radiant career at the age of fifteen with a "Stay. e)" made him a household name in the United States; He collaborated with Keanu Reeves on "Unruly Sky (my. oe。 idah0)" has become a classic in the hearts of countless film fans, and he became a Venice actor at the age of 21.
Hollywood, the vanity fair, is so fond of this young man with the sad eyes of a 'girl', but he is overwhelmed and has to choose poison. products to escape reality. Just a few days ago, on Halloween Eve, River was smoking in the bar of his friend Johnny Depp. He died suddenly at the age of twenty-three, ending his life as bright as a meteor but short.
River's younger brother, Joaquin. Phoenix, a three-time Oscar nomination and winner of the Venice Best Actor Awards, was by his brother's side on the night of October 31 and witnessed his death, which nearly destroyed the nineteen-year-old Jackquin's life.
Albert saw the shadow of River and Phoenix in the "almost famous" album of Glory to Death, and couldn't help but sigh. Hugo heard Albert's exclamation, looked at Albert in surprise, and then sighed, "Maybe God is jealous of him." "God is jealous of talent, and River's death also had a profound impact on Hugo.
In fact, in the era in which Hugo lived, River's influence was running out, and the only work he knew of was "Unruly Sky", but in the early nineties, River's reputation was one of the brightest in Hollywood. When I heard that River was sucking. When he died of an overdose, Hugo set off an unprecedented turbulent 'wave' in his heart, which is why the album title "almost famous" came to his mind.
River Phoenix, whose name literally translates to "River and Phoenix", is indeed like a river and a "wave", but he is not able to gather like a phoenix. Hollywood, the Avenue of Fame, is glamorous, but not everyone can reach the end. Almost famous, telling the story of River and Phoenix, is Heath and Ledger. ledger) is the story of Kurt Cobain and the story of "Hugo Lancaster ......".
Albert caught the clues in Hugo's embarrassed tone, and his left eye couldn't help but light up, and even his right eye, which had lost its brilliance by nature, could faintly see a faint light, "I think I have an idea for your album cover." Albert's whole body brightened, and he stood there and thought for a moment, "You arrived in New York on a road tour?"
After receiving Hugo's affirmative reply, Albert immediately said excitedly, "Did your car come to the warehouse today?"
"Yes, we came by car." Hugo's answer made Albert start to be unable to pace back and forth on his own, "We can take a picture of your band in the car, which is the scene where your band usually prepares in the car during the tour, no need to deliberately arrange the pose, no need to create a scene, just a little light and an angle." You guys...... You ......" Albert looked up at the band members, 'touching' his chin and thinking for a moment.
"Change them all back into your usual outfits," said the band members now in black 'color' suits, which seemed to Albert to be completely redundant, "and the hairstyle...... No, don't be so deliberate, just keep it simple, don't look so bad, just like you can take care of it normally. Otherwise, you take care of it yourself and let the hairstylist rest. It's better to restore the way you normally do when you're performing on the streets, and that's enough. ”
Originally, it was discussed that the basic style of the album was set by the company for Glory to Death was a photo of a backstage performance in a suit, or a picture of standing on the steps and stepping onto the stage...... This setting was conceived according to the literal meaning of "almost famous", and it was also approved by Albert, so today the makeup, costumes and styling were arranged, and the black 'color' suit was just the basic, and several other stage costumes were prepared.
But now in Albert's conception, it is too deliberate, which completely destroys the special "color" of the band itself, the feeling of "walking on the road and singing on the road ......" is the "color" of the band, maybe there is no brilliant lighting on the stage, maybe there is no busy and gorgeous backstage preparation, but the moment when the wind and dust are running on the road, chasing their dreams, and moving towards their dreams step by step, is so simple and simple, and at the same time it is so real and so appropriate.
Since Albert simply overturned all the previous ideas, Henry immediately looked at the representative of the record company who came to the scene today, and after getting a definite answer, Henry signaled that the band members could go and change clothes, but in fact, only Hugo and Alfonso were still standing in place, and the other three people had already gotten rid of the shackles immediately after getting Albert's letter.
With a master like Albert, EMI Records is naturally willing to put the decision in his hands, if Hugo and others mention this plan, it is estimated that Henry will have to deal with the company, but now that Albert proposes it, the record company has no hesitation at all, and directly nods and lets go.
After all the band members changed back into their clothes, Albert took a closer look and nodded with satisfaction, the five young people are T-shirts and denim 'pants' with a simple outfit of a jacket, including Hugo, although it is completely close to life, as if it is the boy next door, but as long as the hair is taken care of a little, the overall look will come out.
Albert then led Glory to Death outside, Albert looked at the surrounding scene, expressed strong dissatisfaction, and simply asked his assistant Elle and others to load the equipment onto the truck, and then followed the band's car, drove out of the warehouse, and drove all the way in the direction of New Jersey. Albert finally chose a deserted roadside, stopped the three cars in front of him, and then began to move the filming equipment.
Looking at the busy staff, Pedro kept jumping in place, trying to relieve his tension in this way, and then looked at Hugo and asked, "So, Hugo, what should we do?"
"You heard what Albert just said!" Hugo said of course, "It's enough to think that we are just preparing for the show in normal times, and don't deliberately care about the camera, and show the most natural state." ”
"Are you serious?" Pedro thought it was incredible, not only him, but the other three people also pricked up their ears and waited for Hugo's next words, "We don't look at the camera, what is it called taking pictures?" Didn't we communicate with the camera at all when we took the picture?"
"Pepe, if the photographer needs you to look at the camera, he will call you, if not, you deliberately look at the camera, it will only make you look like a fool who is eager to be on camera." Hugo shared his experience directly, in fact, taking pictures is not an easy task, many times, an action, an angle, a detail will make the photo show different effects, the work of the model is not so simple. Luckily for today, Albert didn't want to follow the usual photo shoot style, but wanted to show the band as they do on a daily basis, which obviously helped the band members get things done quickly.
However, what Hugo said is simple, but it is not so easy for everyone to do.
"Pepe, don't, don't look at my camera anymore, you smile every time I press the shutter, it makes you look out of place with the others, like there's an extra cow in the 'smile' of the 'Monalisa'!" Albert said with a depressed face, which made everyone laugh out loud, and Pedro had a tangled face, "No, Neil, don't laugh, your appearance is also terrible, don't hide from my camera, I let you naturally, not let you hide behind Hugo naturally!" And, Fokine, you can laugh, you know, even if everyone is laughing, you're the only one who can't laugh, are you sure your soul is still here? Or have you turned into a zombie? ”
The first photo shoot experience of glory to death was really a bit miserable, except for the experienced Hugo, only Alfonso was the most comfortable, this is still the case of Albert letting the band play freely, if it is filmed in the studio according to the original plan, I am afraid that the situation will be bloody.
Hugo was also laughing a little internally injured at this time, in fact, he accepted a magazine photo shoot in order to promote "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'", and the situation was also a little stiff, after all, this was his own first photo experience, but then the body of the body. To save him, the feeling of taking pictures seems to be a kind of spontaneous nature. Yes, this made Hugo relax a lot, and he finished taking pictures smoothly. After gaining experience, Hugo knew that in fact, the most important thing in taking pictures is confidence, and as for pose, photographers are always more tolerant of men.
So, Hugo thought about it, relaxation and confidence in the process of taking pictures are the most important, so what is the most relaxed and confident moment for the band? The answer couldn't be simpler, "Guys, why don't we just play a tune?"
Hugo's voice caught the attention of the bandmates, but at this point Forge and Neil were too slow to react, and Pedro was too excited, only Alfonso nodded knowingly. Albert, who was standing not far away, heard this proposal, and his eyes lit up, which was indeed a good idea.
Hugo thought for a moment, "Fokine, give me a drum beat," the center (the. middle),。 This time, Fujin finally reacted, and his hands that were still holding the drumsticks were still tight, but now he relaxed and began to beat the drum.
Listen to the uplifting lyrics, and the upbeat melody, "Hey, you know they're all the same, you know you're doing your best, so ignore them and live in the moment!" Yes, being yourself, it doesn't matter at all if it's enough for someone else. It just takes some time, little friend, you are walking on a journey, and a qiē, a qiē will be fine; One qiē, one qiē will be on the right track. "It doesn't seem to be difficult anymore.
