Chapter 1869 1869 Media bombing
The opening ceremony of "Fine and Perfect" officially kicked off in New York. Although Hugo is not the core protagonist, the cooperation between Jack Nicholson, James Brooks and Helen Hunter still attracted a lot of attention, not to mention that this script was written by Hugo.
At the press conference, the reporters bombed Hugo. Obviously, everyone was curious about the original script after "before sunrise", Hugo once again created the original script and attracted heavyweight casts to join. Does this mean that Hugo once again completed the screenwriter's work?
"I hope this is a good script, otherwise Jack and Helen will be disappointed." Hugo's answer made everyone chuckle at the scene. "However, whether it is a good story depends on James. I hope the audience can like him, otherwise Jack and Helen, two friends who join for my friendship, will be hurt by me."
Hugo's self-taught triggered laughter again, Jack even raised his right hand, pointed two fingers at his eyes, and pointed at Hugo again, as if saying, "I've been watching you all the time. If the work is really smashed..." This threatening action made the scene burst into laughter, and Hugo even said directly, "I think I should leave the stage. This is not my stage."
Haha, Hugo's clever interpretation made the audience burst into laughter.
"Hugo, the last question, the last question." A reporter raised his right hand high. The host looked at Hugo. After getting affirmation, he nodded and signaled that the reporter could ask questions. The reporter looked a little jealous. He asked loudly, "Hugo, may I ask, the album "Storm of Wind and Rain" that gloriously won the championship this week for thirty-seven weeks, tying the consecutive championship record set by "Thugger" that year. Do you have any special thoughts? If "Storm of Wind and Rain" wins the championship again next week, then the record will be broken again. Do you have any special activities prepared between the band members?"
Hugo had no idea that this would be the problem. He turned his head awkwardly to look at James, Jack and others beside him, and then said to the microphone, "Sorry, today is the 'perfect' press conference for opening the filming. I only answer questions about this work, and I refuse to respond to other questions."
"But..." The reporter stood firmly with unwillingness to give up. Then another reporter stood up next to him without waiting for the host's call. "Hugo, please be sure to answer this question. We have always been looking forward to the arrival of historical moments. Do you have any plans to hold a tour concert in the near future?"
"Hugo, I am the official reporter of Billboard magazine. What do you think about the historical record of "storm and storm"?"
"Will you plan to celebrate the celebration banquet until your death?"
Looking at the chaos in front of me, more than a quarter of the reporters stood up one after another, which made Hugo even more embarrassed. This was a movie occasion, but so many music reporters came. Before Hugo could speak, even the film reporters sang loudly, "Hugo, you are going to set a historical record again. Do you have any special thoughts?"
Jack couldn't help but laughed at the first one, "Hugo, even I'm curious now. Do you have any ideas?"
Hugo looked at Jack's old naughty boy and smiled helplessly, then said to the microphone, "Sorry, I won't answer any questions about the band and music today." Hugo's words made the scene restless, and he quickly raised his hand, "But, but tomorrow I will participate in the recording of the 'Tonight Show'. Other members of Glory to the Death will appear. There will be a small media meeting before the recording, so if you have any questions, please ask again."
After saying that, Hugo once again showed an apology smile at Jack, James, Helen and others, but it made the crew members laugh.
In fact, before Hugo set out to New York, Henry Bloom had already notified every member of Glory until his death that the "storm" is likely to create history, so EDA Records requires them to record several episodes of the program and accept media interviews to continue promoting the album.
Hugo originally thought that EMI had notified the media, but unexpectedly, the media reporters couldn't wait and went directly to the "Full-beautiful" opening ceremony to grab the news.
In fact, we cannot blame these reporters for being too excited, because the record that "storm" has to break this time is enough to make this rock band truly enter the history and become one of the greatest rock bands. Not everyone has the opportunity to witness the birth of history, and not every music lover has the opportunity to witness the re-emergence of rock.
In modern music history, there are ten works that have won the Billboard Album List rankings for more than 20 weeks, with a total of ten works. The closest record is maintained by the original soundtrack of the "Body Guard" movie. The record of winning the championship for twenty consecutive weeks has left Whitney Houston's real place name in history. On the entire historical list, the "West Side Story" movie soundtrack holds the championship position of the Billboard Album List for fifty-four weeks, which is one year. Since this record was created in 1963, no one has been able to shake it.
Once upon a time, the closest record to the "West Side Story" movie soundtrack was Michael Jackson's "Thurrah". This album, which has become the greatest in modern pop music history, won a total of 37 weeks of Billboard Championship from 1983 to 1984, ranking second in history with the most championship weeks.
Although there is still an insurmountable gap between thirty-seven weeks and fifty-four weeks, the album "Trilling" is still a target that countless people look up to. Among the ten albums with more than twenty weeks of champions, only five albums with more than thirty weeks of champions.
In addition to the "West Side Story" movie soundtrack and "Trembling", the other three albums are the album "Rumors" released by Fleetwood.mac in 1977, the "South Pacific" movie soundtrack released in 1958, and the 1956 album "Calypso" by Harry.belafonte. The winning weeks of these three albums are thirty-one weeks.
You can clearly see the huge difference between these numbers, which also means that after more than twenty weeks of successive weeks, it is becoming increasingly difficult. Not to mention catching up with the "West District Story" in one go, even winning the championship for one more week will become extremely difficult. What's more, the music market is now full of flowers.
However, "Storm" created such a miracle. This album not only broke out under the siege of popularity, rhythm and blues and rap; it also caused a sensation in the entire North American music market with a devastating attitude, and began to change history completely.
At the end of 1996, "Storm" ended with a championship of eight consecutive weeks, winning the double champions of the year-end album sales rankings and year-end single sales rankings, and also dominated the global music market and wrote an incredible myth.
At that time, people began to discuss how great is the chance of "storm" winning over "bathing morning light" winning thirteen weeks? Soon, time gave the answer. With the approaching of Grammy, "storm" sales became more and more courageous, and easily accumulated the number of weeks he won the championship again to thirteen weeks. After the Grammy won a great victory to death, it ushered in a peak of sales, and made rapid progress on the Billboard album rankings, and could hardly find any competitors.
In fact, the "storm" gave almost no chance to competitors. Among the three troikas of the Battle of the Century, "stay at this moment" fell behind early, and quickly lost the third place in a row of shocks, it had already slipped out of the top ten before the end of January, and the decline was very obvious.
The stamina of "Butterfly" is also obviously insufficient. In the third week of January, he was kicked off the runner-up by the undoubtedly band's "Travel Kingdom" and in the second week of February, he was kicked out of the top three by the movie "The Prodigal Son's Return to the Movie" soundtrack. After that, the U2 band, Lean Lem, and the Aerial Blacksmith Band, "Butterfly" has the will but lacks strength. Although Maria is doing her best to promote it, the Grammy's crushing defeat made her lose all her confidence. After the album fell out of the top ten, she never returned to the list.
After the Grammy, the "storm" competitors were completely replaced. Christopher Wallace (the.noto.b.i.g), Mary Blige, spice.girls, Paul McCartney, and Hanson made their debut one after another, but none of them could shake the dynasty that was glorious to death.
The competitors of "Storm Rain" can definitely be said to be extremely strong, but in the face of the impact of their opponents, "Storm Rain" can still produce sales of 470,000 per week in the first week of March, which almost made all competitors desperate. This is almost an impossible number to surpass. The always strong sales data made "Storm Rain" sweep across the army. First, it easily tied the thirteen-week consecutive championship weeks of "Bathing in the morning light", and still made great strides, ushering in its own historical moment in the third week of March: it won the Billboard Album Ranking Championship for 20 weeks in a row!
Officially ranked among the top ten in the long history of music.
The "Storm of Wind and Rain" sounds turned the three troikas of the Battle of the Century into a one-man show. The fall of Maria and the Oasis Band became more and more exciting in the second half of last year. After the final showdown, the "Storm of Wind and Rain" still burst out with endless energy. This is the true kingly style. What's even more terrifying is that even the one-man show is still exciting. With the historical record of the third week of March, people have begun to count down: When will the sprint record of the album "Storm of Wind and Rain" stop?
