Chapter 1323 1323 Long Bottleneck
Fujin felt a little strange. In fact, although Hugo has been busy filming for the past six months, he and Neil have been conceiving for the third album. The problem is that Hugo has never communicated with them about the album's ideas and plans. Fujin didn't think much about it, but today Hugo solemnly brought it up. And when Pedro vented his anger and triggered the band's hidden worries, Fujin couldn't help but think deeply.
Hugo glanced at Fujin, but laughed, "Actually, when I was conceiving the third album, there was indeed some problem, which should be a bottleneck."
Hugo's words made Pedro exclaim directly, looking at Hugo with an incredible look on his face. His expression seemed to have seen a prehistoric dinosaur, which made Hugo smile a little bigger, "Why, I don't allow a bottleneck? I'm not Superman, no, even Superman has his own problems."
"No...I mean...Hugo...you are Hugo!" Pedro said incoherently, and after a panic, he could only sit on the sofa in depression and cover his face in annoyance. He didn't know if he was depressing that he couldn't express it clearly, or he sighed that Hugo had actually encountered a bottleneck.
Hugo curled his smile, "I also encountered a bottleneck during the acting period before..." Hugo's words completely quieted the room. After Hugo's "Death-in-law Walk" crew had an accident, Neil and Fujin rushed to Baton Rouge, but unfortunately they couldn't help with anything. Hugo's situation was really worrying.
This is also one of the reasons why Neil broke out today. Hugo is currently in a special period. As partners who are glorious to death, if even they do not understand Hugo, then who will beg for Hugo? Pedro's complaints are obviously inappropriate.
Pedro knew that he had really gotten into trouble at this time, and he suddenly became depressed. He leaned on the backrest of the sofa in annoyance, kept peeking at Hugo, but did not dare to say anything to defend himself.
However, Hugo didn't want to accuse Pedro, so he didn't stay on this topic for too long, and just continued, "Actually, I have encountered a bottleneck in music creation. I think the whole situation may be that the current situation has challenged my mind and body. After reaching a certain level, I fell into a daze. From this perspective, the statement of the 'New York Post' is actually correct, and I am indeed in trouble."
The New York Post's statement about Hugo's "career decline theory" at the beginning of the year actually makes sense. Of course, it is not their absurd inferences about box office, but Hugo's psychological bottleneck. When the actors and band careers reached a brilliant peak, Hugo felt a little "willing to be on the top of the mountain and looking down on all the mountains". After the acting career developed rapidly for three years, Hugo finally began to feel tired. Although Hugo himself did not realize it at all, the feeling of burnout in his heart had begun to emerge.
So Hugo will perform the Nirvana band's song at the Grammy Awards Ceremony in shock. In fact, "Youthful Spirit" is not a glorious style at all; so Hugo will take the initiative to challenge his acting skills during the filming of "Seven Deadly Sins", which triggers the so-called "drama addiction", and then reaches its peak during the "Death-infernal Affairs Walk".
In fact, this is Hugo's call in his heart: he needs to break through, he needs to break through barriers, and he needs to see a brand new world.
In terms of movie box office, Hugo has achieved countless glory, and the box office has further broken records. This requires historical opportunity and cannot be achieved by relying on a single actor. Therefore, Hugo can only break through acting skills, because he knows that he is still a long way from a real actor; the same is true in terms of album sales. Compared to how to improve album sales, Hugo should focus more on breakthroughs in the style of the band, music quality, etc.
It can be said that this year is a bottleneck year for Hugo. On the surface, Hugo looks glorious, but only Hugo himself can deeply understand the hardships and pains of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the "Death Prison Walk" filming, and the torture and torture during the preparation of the third album.
"You should know that rock bands have a 'three-fold bottleneck'." Hugo's words attracted the attention of three people, "Yes, it's the one you think. I think I should be facing such a dilemma."
Hugo had talked to Henry about the bottleneck of the third album before, but Hugo did not clearly realize that this was not just a problem with the band, but also his own problem. After the dreams he had been pursuing had come true one by one, Hugo was a little confused, and his huge success also made Hugo hesitate and become conservative. The shackles of thought made the bottleneck of the three-component series come as scheduled.
"Actually, I have been thinking about the style of our third album. I have started to create since the filming of "Before Sunrise" last year. During this period, I completed many tracks, but it is always difficult to find a clear idea." This is the first time that Hugo has honestly expressed his ideas and experiences from the past year and told the second person besides him. Because of the creation, like the performance, others have no way to help, and they are the only one who seeks breakthroughs alone.
After the filming of "Before Sunrise", Hugo traveled in Europe for a long time. During this period, Hugo created many songs. In addition, it has accumulated since the beginning of this year. In fact, Hugo has more than fifty songs in his hands. It is not difficult to select ten songs from among them to form an album. But the problem is that Hugo not only needs to consider the quality of the songs, but also needs to consider the core idea of the album. This is the soul of the band's music.
If Glory to Death is just an idol band, like the Jonas brothers who play rock titles and idol routes, their third album is not a problem at all. But the problem is that the third album released in this way will inevitably be the turning point of the decline of Glory to Death, just like Nirvana's third album "Incest" and the fourth album "Son Palace". It clearly reflects the confusion and exhaustion of Cote Coben's thoughts.
The so-called bottleneck of the third album is not only the bottleneck that the third album encountered, but also the third album cannot clearly express the future development trend of the band and the spirit of the band's implementation. It also marks the gradual decline of the band's talent and the decline of sincere ambitions to mediocrity.
"You know that 'almost famous' is our initial exploration of the entertainment industry. From walking on the road to groping under the spotlight, we are brave, persistent, we are energetic, and we are excited. The kind of indomitable progress that belongs to glory to death is the core of this album; 'Bathing in the morning light' is our stand in the center of the stage and becoming the focus, accepting attention, accepting cheers, and accepting enthusiasm. We will show the spirit of the band without reservation, so that the development trajectory of rock is imprinted on our mark."
Hugo's words immersed all three of them in the music of glory to death. The first two albums can be said to be the footprints of glory to death step by step to announce their existence. So what about the third album?
"I thought, maybe the third album should be that we reached our peak, allowing the world to recognize our music, and run through this idea, but I found that my creation, Fujin's creation, and Neil's creation, could not connect this idea. Why? Because 'Bathing in the morning light' did this, it accomplished our goals ahead of time. With great success, our mood has changed, so naturally, our creation has also changed."
Hugo's words also silenced Neil and Fojin. Although they have been insisting on creating and have contributed some excellent works, as reflected by the content Hugo has feedback today, their overall view is still not as good as Hugo. It is difficult for them to see the coherence of the entire music creation, and it is difficult to clearly feel the delicate changes in the band's music. This is also an important reason why Hugo has become the core of glory to death.
"Now, we are all in a state of chaos, whether Neil, Fokin, Pepe, including Alfonso, who temporarily went to Las Vegas today. I have conceived that we should make our third album with our confusion and chaos as the theme, but the question is, why are we confused? Why are we confused because of what is we confused? What is the reason for our inner hesitation and hesitation? Is it because our pursuit of music is no longer firm? Or is the colorful Hollywood has made us lose ourselves? So, does this mean that glory to death is no longer glory to death?"
Hugo stopped at this point. Even if he didn't say anything later, the three of them knew what was going on.
The reason why glory is glory and death is because they have an indomitable firmness and sharpness, either glory or death. This persistence has made glory and glory and death ambition. But if glory and death lose this spirit, then their music will no longer be attractive. Perhaps, they can create an album with confusion and chaos themes according to Hugo's ideas, and may even make outstanding achievements in business through the momentum of today, but glory and death are no longer glory and death. Just like "incest" to the Nirvana band, the album "incest" has no overall concept, but only fully displays the contradictions and extremes of the Nirvana band, but loses the arrogance and unruly of Cott-Copper. At that time, the so-called "three-compilation bottleneck" will come true.
This is what Hugo calls a bottleneck. Just like acting skills, he needs to find the right direction, then break the bottleneck, seek breakthroughs, and find the spirit of glory to death again. Not only Hugo, but also the entire band of glory to death. They need to regain their sharpness and persistence in the colorful Hollywood.
