Chapter 440

New York in October can already feel the deep malice of autumn, and with the gradual approach of November, it has become more and more fierce. The slender sycamore leaves have no time to spin in the air, and they are swept away by the wind. The long windbreakers and scarves that occasionally appear on the street are no longer surprising.

The recording work of Glory to Death has entered its fourth week in a blink of an eye. Although it stumbled at the beginning, after entering the state, the band's three-month tour has shown its advantages. The recording of instrument performance is smooth and stressful. It fell on the shoulders of lead singer Hugo.

However, Hugo is not the amateur who only relied on interest to sing two songs when he recorded the ending song of "Yihai Xiongfeng" last year. The more than 200 street performances in the past year have allowed Hugo to gradually find out. In order to achieve his own singing method, after entering the recording studio this time, he received strong help from Hiran. The harmonious cooperation between the two parties made Hugo's recording work progress very smoothly.

As a co-producer, Sheeran's fit with the music concept of Glory To Death can be said to be the most important cornerstone of this partnership. This is also the wisest part of EMI's planning for the band's first album. Of course, it is also the band. Fortunately, this made the recording of the first album of Glory to Death save at least half of the time expected, and there is no much doubt about completing all the recording before the end of October.

However, Hugo did not stay in the recording studio today. Instead, he reached a taxi and left EMI. He looked out of the taxi window and asked the driver uncertainly, "Are you sure it is here?"

"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 dazedness, so he pointed to his left hand tenderly, "Look, there ,Did you see it?"

Hugo was originally going to get off the car from the right side, and now he sat on the left side of the car, and he saw the destination, the red-letter sign on the black background of "Kmulmeass from Cole's Montas family", slightly in the autumn breeze. It was cold. "Yes, Thanks"

Hugo paid the fare, opened the door of the car and walked to the sidewalk. He looked at the unfamiliar streets around him. He was clearly standing on the Principal Street in Greenwich Village. He heard the driver say that it would be Greenway a little further. In Gree, the band had been around here several times during their previous performances, but Hugo still felt a blank head: Has he really been here before?

Finding a family restaurant in a vast area is not an easy task. Fortunately, Quentin told Hugo the exact address, which allowed Hugo to get here directly by taxi. If you take Metro Line 1 and get off at Fancourtland Park 242nd Street Station (vm.parkˉ242.st) as Quentin said, although it is only 300 feet (100 meters) away, it rains. Guo was pretty sure that he would be'lost' in this area for a while.

Standing by the street, Hugo pulled his navy blue trench coat. He only wore a short-sleeved T-shirt inside, so it was still a bit cold when standing in the strong wind, and then walked to the junction of the street to prepare. At the crosswalk, it was the red light at this time, and Hugo could only stop and wait. At this moment, Hugo's vision saw a huge "m" sign behind him, which was only two hundred feet (60 meters) away. The turbulent crowd made the underground exit of that sign more obvious. Then, Hugo suddenly saw a black line on his forehead.

The red light turned into a green light, and Hugo withdrew his gaze, comforting himself: at least he could choose the subway when he returned home, and then quickly walked across the zebra crossing and walked towards the restaurant of Kor's 'Muntas' house.

Quentin called Hugo yesterday and asked him to meet for dinner. Quentin originally planned to have dinner together, but Hugo was currently working on recording and didn't have much time, so it was changed to lunch. Hugo ran over to meet Quentin at the end of the morning recording. After the meal was over, he had to rush back to the recording studio to continue his work today.

Entering this Italian-style family restaurant, the naive fat uncle at the 'door' took Hugo's jacket, and after asking about Hugo, he walked towards the restaurant with Hugo. The space of the restaurant is not large, and there are less than 20 seats within sight. It is not a deck box type, but a simple square table. There is a huge stove on the left side of the restaurant, and a chef makes it on site. Pizza dough, the gorgeous hand movements are very ornamental.

Hugo only walked three steps and saw Quentin sitting at a four-person dining table. This position was about five steps away from the stove. It was warm but not too hot, but it was a good position. At this time, it was the end of the lunch peak for office workers. There were seven or eight white-collar workers standing in line to prepare for take-out, but there were not so many people sitting there to enjoy lunch, and the restaurant looked very empty.

"Do you have any food that you can't eat or don't like to eat? I have already ordered a pizza first. Their pizza fillings can be ordered by yourself. If you have taboos, you can order another one." Quentin politely He stood up and said with a smile.

Quentin actually wore a formal dress today. Although he didn't wear a tie, the dress of the lake blue "color" shirt and black "suit and trousers" was still slightly formal, which made Hugo wearing a t-shirt, denim and trousers a bit more formal. I am embarrassed, "It's okay, I have no requirements for food." When he said this, it reminded Hugo of Samura Kasvi, a cute song "fan" who is addicted to life, if they knew it would be glorious to death. Signed, maybe they are happier than the band themselves. This made Hugo's mouth smile involuntarily, "Why do you remember that you asked me to have dinner today, and you were dressed in such a formal way, shouldn't there be any important person 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 this company?" Quentin knew when he called Hugo yesterday that Hugo is very busy now. , Eating is also out of'spacing' time, so just now Hugo went straight ahead, Quentin was not surprised, he also quickly entered the topic.

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

As mentioned before, after the 21st century, the Oscars have the world's top influence, so that every year from October to February to form an awards season, but the official introduction of the name of the awards season was the 71st in 1999 At the Oscars, "Shakespeare (shakespeare. dn. defeated "Saving Private Ryan" and won the best film Golden Man as a sign.

Regardless of the reputation, quality, and depth of the work, "Saving Private Ryan" truly meets the title of best film. But "Shakespeare in Love" has completed an incredible reversal under the strong public relations capabilities of film companies and filmmakers. Of course, this reversal has been criticized as the most speechless choice of the Oscars until 20 years later.

Since then, nouns such as award season and college public relations have officially surfaced. This has also made Oscars break away from a pure film event and become a stage for marketing, strategy, and public relations battles. Excellent works are no longer the only one to win. It's the standard. This is just the basic equipment. The college public relations throughout the awards season is the key to determining the outcome.

It can be said that this completely changed the tone of Oscar, and of course it also pushed Oscar 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. However, it is undeniable that Oscar's global attention has risen to a higher level, and its commercial achievements are even more advanced. worldwide.

The key figure that changed the direction of the entire film industry, directly led to the appearance of the awards season, and changed the annual distribution strategy of major film companies is the Weinstein brothers of Miramax.

The appearance of the two brothers Bob Weinstein (.) and Harvey Weinstein became one of the most important independent film producers in the history of American film. Miramax was the independent film they founded in the 1970s. The company was acquired by Disney for US$80 million this year and became an independent studio owned by Mickey Mouse. Miramax made independent filmmaking a trend in Hollywood and the world's film industry, changing the entire movie world. The film company dominates the pattern.

There is a statistical data showing that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Miramax Films has won a total of 249 Oscar nominations and won 60 of them as of the 76th Oscars in 2004 This little golden man is definitely the first one among the current independent film companies.

Therefore, the industry also has an "Oscar professional" nickname for the Weinstein brothers. Of course, there are countless professionals who hate the Weinstein brothers who have turned the Oscar movie event into a commercial event. Almost every year there will be a wave of opposition. 'Appear.

Quentin is the new director who was pulled up by the Weinstein brothers with one hand. All his works in the first ten years of the director were sponsored and distributed by the Weinstein brothers. It can be said that Quentin is under the brilliant record of the Weinstein brothers that cannot be ignored. A label.

So when Quentin mentioned Miramax, Hugo reacted. Sure enough, Quentin nodded affirming Hugo's guess, "Yes, I am preparing to shoot my second work. I have a meeting with Harvey today to discuss a possible'sex'." Quentin said here, After a pause, he looked at Hugo, and then said seriously and cautiously, "What do you think is the possibility of inviting you to appear in my second director's work at a low price?"
