Chapter 1018: 1018
When Brown York saw Hugo and Glory to death, he had no idea of confrontation, not only because of his own fear and timidity, but also because Glory to death is too powerful now, just like the peak period of Nirvana. Except for the Pearl Sauce Band that debuted at the same time, almost no one can compete with Nirvana.
Even old bands like Guns and Roses, even those new generation bands who want to challenge Nirvana's hegemony, and even those bands who worship Nirvana and try to follow their footsteps, cannot get close to Nirvana. Nirvana is an insurmountable peak that can only be looked up and cannot climb.
The glory to death has reached such a height, which makes Brown unable to get close to it. Brown even believes that glory to death is from another world, and in a completely different plane from them. Even if Fujin is a member of the glory to death, Brown still has this idea, as if Fujin and Fujin are completely different from the ones.
What is the height of Glory's momentum now? That is, there is no publicity. Even if the band members disappear without a trace, the band's songs still kill the billboard rankings, and even make the boy and man group who are working hard to promote seem to be just doing useless work.
In the fourth week of November, "Bath in the Morning Light" handed over the Billboard album rankings to the Eagles; while "Beautiful Day" defeated the boy-man group "I Will Be Tender with You" again, achieving an incredible 14 consecutive championships on the Billboard singles rankings, tying Whitney Houston's record.
At the same time, there are two new faces in the top ten Billboard singles this week, namely "Bend of the Knee", which has been released for two weeks. This is the second wave of the title song of the boys and men, which is the third place this week; and the other is the "Shape.of.my.heart" just released last week, which is the second wave of singles from glory to death. This single is ranked eighth this week.
In the first week of December, everyone's eyes gathered, and people were discussing whether "A Beautiful Day" could surpass Whitney Houston's "I Will Love You forever" and become the first single in the long river of music history to win the championship for fifteen consecutive weeks. At the same time, the aggressive "Bend of the knees" can break the fourteen-week monopoly of glory to death and win the first Billboard championship of this album for the boys and men's group. Whether it is the album chart or the single chart, they all live in the shadow of glory to death.
Interestingly, the first week of December was not only a watershed in the music market, but also a watershed in the film market. This week, "Pulp Novels" and "Night Visits to Vampire" officially decided to win and lose. The box office plummeted by 56% in the fourth week of the release of "Night Visits to Vampire". After that, he was in a slump and lost this staggering showdown.
It can be said that the first week of December 1994 has special significance throughout the year.
When EDA Records chose the second wave of the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" for glory to death, it was actually quite hesitant, because the album was full of excellent works and they really couldn't make a decision. EDA Records was originally scheduled to officially release the song "apology" as its second single, because the song received many praises at the beginning of the album's release, but a movie was officially released in the third week of November.
"This killer is not too cold."
This movie was actually first released in France and was already in the French market in the second week of September. As Luc Besson's hometown, "This killer is not too cold" works mixed with countless American elements actually encountered some resistance. However, after the movie was released, it received unanimous praise from the film critics, believing that this work is Luc's most successful art work so far.
Unfortunately, the box office of "this killer is not too cold" in cinemas is very limited, and it is indeed a work with artistic reputation higher than commercial value.
However, in the past two months, "this killer is not too cold" has caused a lot of discussion. Since this is a commercial film with high artistic value, Luc has spent a lot of effort on the balance and consideration of art and commercial elements, and these details have become the object of discussion among the audience.
Among them, the theme song of the movie "Shape of the Heart" attracted the attention of many people. When people confirmed it, they found that this song actually came from the second album "Bathing in Morning Light" of Glory to Death. Although the influence of Glory to Death in Europe is still limited, thanks to the operation of Eididay Records, the album "Bathing in Morning Light" has achieved very excellent results in the British Isles. Not to mention the joint influence of Hugo as the lead singer. "Shape of the Heart" easily triggered countless discussions.
When "This Killer Not Too Cold" landed in North America, although the movie's box office performance was not outstanding, the song "Shape of Heart" stood out and became a topic of temporary discussion.
The box office in North America, which is "not too cold" can be said to be bad, with a premiere of 5.3 million yuan, and a drop of 29% in the second week, only less than 3.8 million yuan. The final movie was only released in North America for four weeks, earning $19 million. It is not an exaggeration to describe the results as a terrible one.
At the same time, the reputation of movie critics is also polarized. Liked media such as "Us Weekly" and "Washington Post" all gave ratings of more than 90 points, while disliked media such as "Vanity Fair" and "TV Guide" all gave 50 points that failed.
Under such circumstances, the media comprehensive review of "This killer is not too cold" is only 64 points.
"This killer is not too cold" is somewhat similar and "Shawshank Redemption". The latter has been recognized by the academics and its popularity gradually rose. It reached a certain level during the Oscar period, and then gradually fermented into the most popular movie in film history. However, "This killer is not too cold" was neglected by the academy. Except for the French Caesar Award, no other major award ceremony gave this movie any affirmation, even the Caesar Award was nominated and did not win the award.
"This killer is not too cold" became a classic after it. Like countless cult films, it gradually rose by relying on the strong reputation of the video tape market. As more and more viewers renting this movie, more and more viewers realized the excellence of this work, which made the film become one of the classic masterpieces that must be mentioned in 1994 after entering the 21st century.
But in the real 1994, "This killer is not too cold" obviously encountered a cold wave.
However, after the movie was released, it still triggered countless discussions. Many people believe that Luke can inherit Steven Spielberg's mantle because he not only has artistic cells, but also has a business acumen. He can always make art and business burst into new sparks. Therefore, "this killer is not too cold" has indeed become the focus of people's discussion.
In particular, the song "Shape of Heart" has triggered far-reaching discussions. Both movie audiences and music listeners were sighed by the vicissitudes and experiences of this song, believing that this song is a perfect interpretation of the theme of the movie, and that the theme and charm of the movie can even be felt from this song.
In the 1990s, the original soundtrack of the movie has always been one of the main forces that cannot be ignored on the billboard. In addition to the box office wins such as "The Lion King" and "Forrest Gump" and the original soundtrack, there are many works with box office defeats but the original soundtrack sells exceptionally well-selling. Because the movies are matched with music, people often notice many completely different but equally excellent music, which is also easy to gain more recognition.
In this case, Edai Records changed its mind at the last moment and released "Shape of Heart" as the band's second single. Although it was quite busy to make adjustments at the moment, Edai Records obviously had strong confidence in all the tracks in the album "Bath in the Morning Light", so even if they change their mind temporarily, they seemed confident.
The song "Shape of Heart" did not actually cause much discussion in the early stages of "Bathing in the Morning Light" release, but the main reason is that "A Beautiful Day" is too eye-catching, and the other nine songs are of great quality. After the discussion points are dispersed, they fall into a situation where each carrot and vegetables have their own love.
However, with the appearance of "This Killer Not Too Cold", "Shape of Heart" was released in conjunction with the plot of the movie, which immediately sparked countless discussions. Under such circumstances, although "Shape of Heart" was not discussed enough before, it was airborne the 10th place in the Billboard rankings in the first week of release, and then climbed to eighth place in the week. Such a result is already very rare, and everything is as expected by Eighteen Records.
When Hugo ordered songs in Death Canyon, Green Hill would mention this song specifically, which is also an important position in the hearts of professional fans: at least, the quality and discussion value of this song will not be inferior to the "apology" originally scheduled for the second single. "Bathing in the morning light" album, which has created countless glory, is indeed well-deserved.
In the first week of December, the showdown between Glory to Death and Boys and Men has made another wave. Can "A Beautiful Day" continue its strength and create a new history of consecutive championships; can "I will be warm with you" complete the counterattack and break the curse of fourteen consecutive Asians; or can "Bend the knees" and "Shape of the Heart" create miracles? All of this has become the focus of heated discussion.
Just under this highly anticipated gaze, the Billboard singles rankings this week have undergone earth-shaking changes, and all the top three positions have been replaced with new singles. "A Beautiful Day" failed to create a new history and lost the championship throne; "I Will Be Tender with You" has not been able to reverse, sliding down from the runner-up position; even "What I Want to Do" who stayed in the third place for six weeks fell behind.
