In October, New York, you can already feel the deep maliciousness of autumn, and as November approaches, it becomes more and more fierce. The bleak sycamore leaves don’t have time to spin in the air, and are swept away by the strong wind. The occasional clothes and scarves on the streets are no longer surprising.

The recording work of Glory to Death has entered the fourth week in a blink of an eye. Although it started stumbling, after entering the state, the band's three-month tour training showed advantages. The recording of instrumental performance was smooth, and the pressure fell on the shoulders of the lead singer Hugo.

However, Hugo is not the amateur who relied on his interest to hum two songs when recording the ending song of "Yihai Xiongfeng" last year. More than 200 street performances in the past year have allowed Hugo to gradually find out his own singing method. After entering the studio this time, he received strong help from Sheeran. The harmonious cooperation between the two sides has 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 cooperative relationship. This is also the wisest part of all the plans of EDA Records for the band's first album, of course, it is also the band's luck. This saves at least half of the time the recording of Glory to Death's first album saves at least half of the time than expected. There is no doubt that it will complete all the recording work before the end of October.

But today Hugo did not stay in the recording studio, but achieved a taxi leaving EMI Records. He looked out of the taxi window and asked the driver uncertainly, "Are you sure it's here?"

"Yes, on the left side of the road, you can see it when you cross the road." The driver said friendly. He turned around and found Hugo's confusion, so he pointed to his left side considerately, "Look, have you seen it there?"

Hugo was originally going to get off the car from the right side, but now he was on the left side of the car and he saw the destination. The black-bottomed red sign with the "Kolmentas's" was slightly cold in the autumn wind. "Yes, thank you!"

Hugo paid the fare, opened the car door and walked to the sidewalk, looking at the strange streets around him, he was standing on the principal's street in Greenwich Village. He heard from the driver that the next step was Greenwich Street (greenwich.street). The band had been here several times during the performance before, but Hugo still felt a blank in his mind: Has he really been here before?

It is not easy to find a family restaurant in a vast area. Fortunately, Quentin told Hugo the detailed address, which allowed Hugo to arrive here directly by taxi. If you take Subway Line 1 as Quentin said to get off at van.cortlandt.park-242.st, although it is only 300 feet (100 meters) away, Hugo is sure that he will be lost in this area for a while.

Standing beside the street, Hugo pulled his navy blue windbreaker. He only wore a short-sleeved T-shirt inside, so he was still a little cold in the wind. Then he walked to the junction of the street to pass the crosswalk. At this time, it was a red light, and Hugo could only stop and wait. At this moment, Hugo saw a huge "m" sign behind him, which was only two hundred feet (sixty meters). The surging crowd made the underground exit of the sign even more obvious, and Hugo suddenly had a black line on his forehead.

The red light turned into a green light, and Hugo retracted his gaze and comforted himself: at least when he went home, he could choose the subway, and then quickly passed the zebra crossing and walked towards the Colmontas' restaurant.

Yesterday Quentin called Hugo and asked him to meet him for dinner. Originally, Quentin planned to have dinner together, but Hugo was in the recording work recently and didn't have much time, so it was changed to lunch. Hugo took advantage of the time when the recording ended in the morning and ran over to meet Quentin. After the meal was over, he had to rush back to the recording studio to continue his work today.

Walking into this Italian-style family restaurant, the cute fat uncle took Hugo's coat at the door, and after asking Hugo, he took Hugo to the restaurant. The restaurant was not very spacious, with less than twenty seats within the sight. It was not a card box type, but a simple square table. There was also a huge stove on the left side of the restaurant, and a chef made pizza noodles on the spot. The gorgeous hand movements were very ornamental.

Hugo only walked three steps before seeing Quentin sitting at a four-person dining table. This location is about five steps away from the stove. It is a bit warm but not too hot. It is a good location. At this time, it is the end of the peak lunch period for office workers. There are still seven or eight white-collar workers waiting in line to take out, but there are not so many people sitting in the seat to enjoy lunch, and the restaurant seems very empty.

"Do you have any food that you can't eat or don't like? I've ordered a pizza just now. They can order their pizza fillings by themselves. If there is any taboo, you can order another one." Quentin stood up politely and said with a smile.

Quentin actually wore a formal outfit today. Although he didn't wear a tie, the lake blue shirt and black suit pants were still a little formal, which made Hugo, who was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, feel a little embarrassed. "It's okay, I have no requirements for food." When he said this, Hugo remembered Samora Casvi, a cute fan who was fond of eating. If they knew that glory had been signed until death, maybe they would be happier than the band themselves. This made Hugo's smile rise, "Why did you think of having dinner with me today? And you were dressed so formally? Is there any important person coming today? I'm not very good at dressing up."

Quentin smiled and shook his head, "No, no, it's just that I had a meeting in the morning. Miramax, do you know this company?" When Quentin called Hugo yesterday, he knew that Hugo is very busy now and took time to eat, so Hugo just went straight in just now, and Quentin was not surprised, and he quickly got to the point.

"Of course, of course, Weinstein." Hugo nodded, sat down, then opened the napkin and placed it under the plate, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water. Autumn is already dry, and Hugo must protect his throat for recording, so drinking water has become a habitual action recently. "Do you have a cooperation project with them?"

As mentioned earlier, after the 21st century, the Oscars had the world's top influence, which led to an awards season starting from October to ending in February every year. However, the official introduction of the awards season was marked by the 1999 71st Oscar "Shakespeare.in.love" defeating "Save Soldier Ryan" and winning the best film Little Golden Man.

Whether in terms of reputation, quality, and the depth of the work, "Save Private Ryan" is the one that truly fits the title of Best Picture. However, "Shapes' Love History" completed an incredible reversal under the strong public relations capabilities of film companies and film producers. Of course, this reversal was criticized by people until twenty years later as the most speechless choice of Oscar Academy.

Since then, nouns such as awards season and college public relations have officially surfaced, which has also made Oscars leave the category of a simple film event and become a stage for marketing, strategy and public relations wars. Excellent works are no longer the only criterion for victory, but this is just basic equipment. The college public relations in the entire awards season are the key to determining the outcome.

It can be said that this completely changed the tone of the Oscars, and of course it also pushed the Oscar to another extreme. Some people believe that the Oscar has lost its authority and fair professional image, while others believe that the Oscar is no longer authentic, but it is undeniable that the Oscar has attracted a higher level of attention worldwide, and its business achievements are leading the world.

This changed the direction of the entire film industry, which directly led to the emergence of the awards season and changed the annual distribution strategy of major film companies, is Miramax's Weinstein brothers.

The emergence of the two brothers Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein has become one of the most important independent filmmakers in American film history. Miramax is an independent film company they founded in the 1970s. This year, Disney acquired it for 80 million US dollars and became an independent studio under Mickey Mouse. Miramax made independent film production a trend in Hollywood and even the world's film industry, changing the pattern of large film companies taking the lead in the entire world of film.

There is a statistics showing that Miramax Pictures has won a total of 249 Oscar nominations as of the 76th Oscars in 2004 and won 60 of them. It is definitely the top spot among independent film companies.

Therefore, the industry also has a "Oscar professional" joke about the Weinstein brothers. Of course, there are countless professionals who hate the Weinstein brothers to transform the Oscar movie event into a commercial event, and there are waves of opposition almost every year.

Quentin is a new director promoted by the Weinstein brothers. All his works in the first ten years of directors were sponsored and distributed by the Weinstein brothers. It can be said that Quentin is a label that cannot be ignored under the Weinstein brothers' brilliant record.
