Chapter 420： All hole cards
ads_wz_txt;
Come back with 420 all the hole cards.
Henry was just talking about the "road tour", and the next second he started to digress again, "You read yesterday's Los Angeles Times, didn't you? They specifically reported on your band's tour across the United States. This incident has been a hot topic recently, and it is estimated that tomorrow’s New York Times will not miss it."
In desperation, Neil and Alfonso looked at each other, and then Alfonso took the initiative and said, "Now that you know everything, do you still think we can bring benefits?"
"Oh, no, it's not like that." Henry's contradictory answer made Pedro who was standing next to him say "what" in surprise. Henry slapped his right hand lazily to Pedro. Dro responded to his surprise and paused for a while before he continued, "This is just my personal idea. I think your band can break into a piece of your own world, which makes me feel very interesting, "Interesting," The use of this adjective makes three black lines on the forehead, "I'm very curious about what kind of influence you can make in the music industry, and I am looking forward to seeing an outlier appearing in the current rock'trend' that has formed a fixed pattern. It's like your singing, killing the hero in your heart."
When he said the last sentence, Henry blinked at the band with a smile, just like the triumphant expression when the prank succeeded, which made people think it was very weird.
But Hugo vaguely understood Henry's true intentions, provided that his previous intuition was correct, then Henry now wants to sign glory to death, the biggest reason is actually to prove his ability. When Maria Kelly was born, she actually had a tendency to break the general impression of the existing'female' singer, and Maria has also achieved success. Now people's first impression of the'female' singer is the "iron voice". , Being able to soar the treble, convert between true and false, and cross a large range seems to have become synonymous with the "female" singer's singing skills. Although professionals know that this is an incorrect idea, treble and range are definitely not the only highlights of singing skills, but it has indeed become a kind of ‘tide’.
So now that Henry wants to prove his ability again, he must break through himself again, and the extraordinary style of Glory to Death is undoubtedly the best choice.
On the other hand, Henry is an agent who has seen the big world. He knows that commercial success is a necessary criterion to measure a singer’s career, but commercial success alone cannot be a classic. A singer of the Beatles and Michael Jackson’s level. In their resume, it is not only commercial success, but also a cultural symbol that will affect the future of music for a long time.
Hugo saw his ambition in Henry, and more importantly, this ambition was pinned on glory to death. Of course, the premise is that Hugo's previous guesses are correct.
So if Hugo’s idea is correct, Henry is indeed very suitable for Glory to Death. For one thing, he will not restrict the band’s style, on the contrary, he will stand firmly beside the band and strive for more freedom for the band. And power; secondly, he won't be stunned by short-term commercial interests. He should be an agent with long-term planning.
The latter point reminded Hugo of Joseph again, which made his mind uncontrollable for a while, so he could only take a deep breath and draw his attention back again.
Neal seems to have spoken again just now, and now Henry is talking, "I know the conditions that your band wants to sign, first, to give you absolute creative freedom; second, not to succumb to the record company, try to change or even Obliterate your style; third, plan your development reasonably, and it is best to be considerate of Hugo's actor status. Of course, as far as I personally think, the first point is the most important."
Henry’s words all confirmed Hugo’s thoughts. At this moment, Henry finally showed his sharpness. Although he still spoke slowly, his always lazy eyes burst into sharp light. The complete preparation he had prepared finally revealed the whole picture at this time.
"As an agent, it is difficult for me to guarantee you anything, because those are too false, but I can guarantee one thing, I will always be on your side, forever." Henry said this sentence, It shows the firmness and strength that he did not have in the previous several contacts. In fact, this sentence explains that in the process of confrontation with the record company, he will never compromise for commercial interests like the record company, as long as the glory is to death. Persevere, he will stick to the end as an agent.
This kind of method is actually basic for brokers, because protecting the interests of customers is what they need to do, but in the actual operation process, brokers will take their own interests into consideration, and thus stand on the side of the record company. Come and convince the customer.
Especially in the music field, the situation is most common. For example, the record company hopes that the singer's music will cater to the pop, and the singer is unwilling, but the agent takes the album sales into consideration and stands on the record company's side, persuading the singer to obey the record company's selection of producers. This will leave the singer in a position of isolation and helplessness. In the end, he has no choice but to compromise because he has already signed a record contract.
If Henry is really a veteran broker, it would be even more incredible if he made such a promise, which is contrary to his work style. Just like Joseph’s recent handling of "Shawshank’s salvation" was the same. He prioritized the work of Nicholas Cage and others, and gave priority to his career, choosing the social "community", thus neglecting Hugo’s work. Such a truth. From the standpoint of the agent, it is difficult to blame this as wrong, because this is determined by the ‘sexual’ nature of the agent’s circle and the work of the agent; but from the standpoint of the artist, it’s hard to agree with it.
After Henry said these words, Pedro, Alfonso, and Fogin all looked very surprised, and their expressions were a little moved, but Neil fell into contemplation. He always felt: Any "transaction" They are all equivalent'exchanges'. No one wants to bear the loss. The bigger the cake given by Henry, the more'inducing' it is. People, maybe the trap hidden after this is more terrifying.
Hugo has a lot of thoughts in his mind. Recently, he has experienced too many things on the issue of the agent and the issue of the choice of interests. It is inevitable that he is always a little emotional. This also made Hugo's head very sober. He knew that Henry was so fully prepared, either sincerely wanting to sign a contract for glory to death, or there is a plan, there is no free lunch in the world, watch it now, Henry Would you like to show his request?
This time, Henry did not disappoint Hugo. After Henry finished speaking, he was not anxious to continue speaking. Instead, he carefully observed the expressions of the five band members, but he noticed Neil’s hesitation and Hugo. When I was calm, the smile on the corners of his mouth was sketched instead. This way, I felt a little less laziness than usual, and a little more self-confidence. People can't help but guess. If you shave all the beard, clean your hair, and change it. Clothes, Henry is also a confident and successful person. Maria’s story seems to be a little more credible.
"If you are willing to sign with me, I can make an appointment for you to audition for EMI Records. If everything goes well, I can let you enter the studio before October and prepare for your first album." Henry's hole cards finally came out. , But such a generous bargaining chip makes people take a sigh of relief, "Don’t tell me that your tour is not over yet, and don’t tell me that your team time is too short. I am willing to offer such a condition because it is full. There are also follow-up solutions. If you agree, then we can sit down and talk in detail." Henry did not say "if you disagree" what to do.
Obviously, Henry blocked the two reasons why the Glory To Death band had rejected him two times before. He also conceived the entire plan and completed the entire contract conditions. The band has no room for rejection.
Pedro couldn't help but looked at his teammates left and right, looking for a backbone, but Fukuin and Alfonso were caught in thinking. Although they couldn't tell what they were thinking, they could see that their minds were surging. Neil frowned and stared at Henry, as if he wanted to see a clue from Henry's completely different face just now. No one paid any attention to Pedro's gaze.
As for Hugo, he was not impatient or thinking. He looked at Henry in that way, as if Henry had just said a little thing that was not surprising, waiting for Henry to say more interesting things.
Henry's eyes lightly fell on the five members of the band, and finally fell on Neil and Hugo. After hesitating for a moment, he finally met Hugo's eyes directly, and all the laziness and decadence disappeared in an instant. , Those eyes that have been unable to see clearly are even more firm and sharp that people can’t look directly at. He and Hugo look at each other tightly like this, and no one is willing to give in. .
Maybe this Henry is his original face.
Henry stared at Hugo for a long time. For at least fifteen seconds, the air was frozen together, but Hugo did not flinch or panic. He just waited for his next words with a smile. Henry couldn't help but admire a bit. According to common sense, his cards just now were enough to impress any band, even the hardest bones of underground rock. But Henry didn't know what Hugo had recently experienced. He also I don't know the profound influence of the song "Hollywood is not America ( on the band, but Henry saw the glory that has not been visibly shaken before his eyes to death.
This also strengthened Henry's inner belief: this is the band he has been looking for, and it is also the band he wants to work for in the next ten or twenty years.
"However, I have one condition." Henry finally spoke. As Hugo expected, Henry's favorable conditions are subject to'exchange' conditions. The pie will not fall out of thin air. "The contract must be signed for ten years. The penalty is ten times, and the initiative to terminate the contract is in my hands."

Come back with 420 all the hole cards.
