Chapter 537 537 Sensitive Topics

Today, Kiis's program was obviously full of information. Jojo did his job well and discovered many topics that were interesting to the audience. "Don't be upset about the past (don't.look.back.in.anger)" was broadcast, the topic of a new day became popular instantly, which also attracted more ordinary listeners' attention to the underground rock circle in Los Angeles.

When the show came back, Qiao Qiao knew that his mission today had been basically completed, and the interview from Glory to Death was coming to an end. At the end stage, Qiao Qiao had many choices. He originally planned to talk about the album itself.

After any new album is released, the promotion is actually divided into two systems, one is album promotion and the other is the title song promotion. The reason for promoting the title song is very simple, it is to select the best or most topical song on the album, repeatedly promote it, add the audience's impression, and then use the success of this song to drive the awareness of the entire album.

This is also the reason why there are two main album rankings and single rankings on the Billboard.

However, the situation of singles and albums is very different, because a single is an excellent song, while an album requires overall quality; singles are more likely to achieve good results due to the surge in on-demand rate of radio stations, and albums require more support in sales to win a good position. Therefore, it is not easy to dominate the Billboard singles and album charts at the same time.

However, most rock bands do not pay attention to single rankings. Because rock bands promote more through tour performances, they are more willing to promote them on albums and extract a single song as a single. In the eyes of rock bands, it is too commercial, so many rock bands often do not specifically promote singles.

This year, there is the most typical example. When Pearl Jane released its new album "Due" at the beginning of the year, the band broke up with the record company and refused to release any videos and singles about their new albums. This incident caused a lot of controversy. Although there was no early promotion, Pearl Jane's "Due" album still achieved excellent sales, and the first week of Billboard album rankings of "almost famous" was released by Pearl Jane.

This time, the same is true for Honor to Death. They only released the album "Almost Fame" and did not release singles separately. However, since Honor to Death signed the contract with EDA Records, EDA must have taken these situations into consideration during the signing stage. With the style of a large record company, single release is imperative. Even if there is no sign yet, it will be a matter of time before the release.

So, Qiao Qiao originally planned to ask the band members which favorite song was on this album, and then asked them what they thought and expected of the single.

However, after nearly half an hour of conversation today, Qiao Qiao found that she could always find more content in Glory to Death. It may not be a burst point, but it is definitely an interesting conversation. So Qiao Qiao thought about it and planned to throw out a more interesting topic as the ending, which may result in a good effect.

"Hugo, there have been a lot of controversy around you recently. This seems to be a very disturbing thing. I wonder how you deal with these pressures?" Qiao Qiao used a very ordinary topic to kick off the last round of questions in today's interview.

Hugo smiled, "I don't remember hearing this sentence anywhere. In the entertainment industry, it's always better to have news than not." This self-taught sentence made Pedro and Alfonso laugh there.

Jojo nodded and responded, "No attention is the most tragic thing. This is a famous quote from Hollywood."

In the entertainment industry, there are always more negative news than positive news, because people want to see negative news, similar to the news that someone raises funds or someone has charity activities, they will never be as good as the latest scandals of a star or someone is caught stealing food. In fact, it is not just the entertainment industry, but the whole society is like this. People's curiosity, voyeurism, desire, and gossip will always be infinitely amplified by this negative news.

Therefore, in Hollywood, the most tragic thing is not the plague of negative news, but the lack of news at all. This is the real decline.

Hugo's joke was actually a sarcastic mockery of the period after the release of "Hudson Eagle". At that time, the negative news about him was the most serious, and then he had reached the bottom of the Golden Raspberry Award. The situation has actually improved too much now. However, this joke can be heard by Pedro, Alfonso and others, but I don't know if the listeners in front of the radio can understand it.

"I can't stop these negative reports, because this is the inevitable consequence of the spotlight. I will try my best to stick to my position and hope that reporters can know the truth. However, I cannot control the freedom of speech of reporters, and people's aesthetics are even more beyond my ability. Therefore, I am learning to deal with these pressures and see those who judge me with the right eyes. This is not an easy task." Hugo said with a smile. Although his words are heavy, Hugo's entire aura is still positive. This is the performance of his gradual growth after the Golden Globes incident. "I had the honor to meet Ms. Catherine Hepburn. She told me that if I keep paying attention to these negative news and ignore myself, then I will never make progress."

"Catherine Hepburn!" Jojo said in surprise. Not only him, but even Neil, Fokin and others who were sitting next to him were surprised, not to mention the other staff members sitting outside, including Henry and Samora, they also involuntarily expressed their surprise.

Hugo smiled embarrassedly, "I'm not sure if she will be happy about me." He didn't think much about it when he mentioned it just now, so he said it, but now thinking about it, Catherine Hepburn may not like being mentioned in this way. It seems that he still has a lot to learn when dealing with the media and interviews. But since he said it today, Hugo still needs to explain it, "When I was watching a show on Broadway, I had the honor to watch Ms. Hepburn's live performance, and later I went to the backstage to visit her and chatted for a while. That experience was unforgettable and important to me."

Qiao Qiao really found the treasure. This news alone is probably enough to be surprised by the Los Angeles Times for a while, which also made Qiao Qiao more confident. Then he said, "There are countless reports from media reporters, both true and false. How should the audience distinguish the facts? This is a science; similarly, as the center of the focus, how to deal with it is also a science."

Qiao Qiao is actually a media staff member, but as a host, he is also part of the artist, so he has more feelings, which has also been recognized by the members of the glorious until death.

Qiao Qiao then said, "When it comes to Ms. Catherine Hepburn, Ms. Hepburn scolded the reporter in an interview recently. I wonder if you have seen this news." Originally, Qiao Qiao was still worried about how to naturally cut the topic into the core of the last round of questions, but unexpectedly, Hugo's answer gave him a natural entry point.

"What news is it?" Hugo raised his doubts. Henry was concerned about music news, and Joseph was responsible for the news in the movie. When the two were not in contact, Hugo's understanding of movie news was indeed relatively lagging. Next, after Samora got started, the situation would improve.

Although Hugo thought so, Henry's head, who was standing outside the studio, suddenly lit up. The news that Jojo mentioned was movie news, but it was also music news! Henry's usual lazy posture suddenly disappeared and suddenly stood up. He frowned slightly and looked at the recording studio with some concern.

If it is placed at any other time, this news actually doesn't matter much, but recently Hugo has been on the "Schindler's list" one after another, and the album "almost famous" two public opinion vortexes. If it is caught in another vortex, the situation will not be what he can predict as an agent.

However, now Henry can't break in and stop the program recording, so he can only stand outside and watch with concern.

Samora next to her was confused, so she was startled by Henry, and stood up suddenly, then looked at the recording studio in confusion, but was just full of question marks.

"Recently, the children's news has entered a new round of **. Jackson's sister La Toya's testimony made the situation turn fatally. Almost all entertainment news pages are discussing this explosive news. Now the entire public opinion situation is very unfavorable to Jackson." Jojo said his key topic in one breath. He was very curious. What would Hugo think of Michael Jackson, who is in the whirlpool of public opinion? "Ms. Katherine Hepburn scolded the reporters in an interview. She firmly believed that these reporters were shamelessly slandering Jackson's reputation. She believed that these reporters were shamelessly slandering Jackson's reputation for news. She believed that these reporters were depraving the entire entertainment industry for the sake of news. Ms. Hepburn believed that the judicial system was now blurred by the spotlight and lost its rational judgment. Ms. Hepburn strongly asked everyone to calm down and see the truth clearly."

After finishing the premise of the whole topic, Jojo paused for a moment, and said, "I wonder if you agree with Ms. Hepburn's remarks, what do you think of Jackson's negative news?"

After this topic came out, the entire recording studio suddenly became silent, and the sound of the tape running could be clearly heard. This silence made the heartbeat exceed the load, and the more than three million listeners in front of the radio were all silent. Michael Jackson, one of the greatest superstars in American music history, has now encountered the biggest crisis in his entire life! Now, this question has been thrown to Hugo, who has been in the whirlpool of public opinion recently. What response will Hugo give?
