Chapter 1871: First sight dynasty

People have just witnessed the strong recovery momentum of rock and roll, and they have already seen the prototype of the glorious rock dynasty, which is incredible. From "young volcano (. to "sailing ( and then to "long road (.. way.., winning the championship uninterruptedly for 24 consecutive weeks, such a miracle is also the only one in the long river of music history; Coupled with the continuous championship momentum of the album "Blurry Rain", it can be said that in the past six months, the entire North American music market has only had glory to death, and only glory to death.

After the "long road" successfully reached the top of the championship, it did not slow down its momentum, and then won the championship for three consecutive weeks, extending the glory-to-death dominance momentum until the 27th week, and finally was the hot single of the bragging dad. "Unstoppable (can't...me. pulled down and fixed the momentum of reelect on the "twenty-seven" set of numbers.

This also created a new history of a single singer or band dominating the singles chart for a few weeks in the history of the North American Billboard. It was not until 2009 that anyone approached this historical record, the two black-eyed peas (.eyed.pea). The champion singles "Bang Bang Pao (.. and "I have a hunch (i.. have jointly dominated the championship list for twenty-six weeks, but unfortunately they have not been able to match or even break the glory to death. , Only ranked second in history.

In the second week of April, the bragging daddy’s single ended the 27-week rule of Glory To Death, and was called "the cornerstone of the rock dynasty" by "Rolling Stone"-always watching Glory To Death. "Rolling Stone" completely lowered his arrogant head.

Even though "The Long Road" retreats from the championship, the three singles "Young Volcano", "Sailing" and "The Long Road" still linger in the top 20, among which "Young Volcano" is 26 consecutively. Zhou's performance in the top ten has also set a new record, and the strength of his performance has completely lost his language.

Three singles have joined forces for 27 consecutive weeks, and one album dominates for 37 weeks unshakable... This is the rock dynasty created by the glory to death in the past half a year. It is already halfway through 1997, although Hugo is in " After the tour, "Blurry Rain" disappeared in front of the media. Even during the "L.A. Confidential" crew, he rarely communicated with the media, but he was still active in the media for a long time in this way, step by step. Move towards the dream.

People are discussing when will the fourth single of "Blurry Rain" be released, and will it be possible to win the title again after it is released? People are discussing whether they can take another step after the thirty-seven consecutive weeks of the "hurricanes and rains"-this small step is a big step for the giants of history?

Therefore, at the launching ceremony of "Perfect Perfection", the reporter almost used an embarrassing and gaffey way. He couldn't wait to interview Hugo, and wanted to learn his thoughts from Hugo's mouth for the first time, even ignoring his presence. James and Jack of the two entertainment industry leaders.

You can accuse reporters of being impolite, but there is no way to get angry. Because even people who have nothing to do with music will inevitably have curiosity: this is the true national prosperity since 1984, even "Independence Day" is slightly inferior to it-after all, "Independence Day" Before and after the box office, it was everything in the twenty weeks, but the "hurt and rain" had already occupied the focus for nine months, and the brewing of rock and roll began with "Don't Mind" in 1992-it's worth it. It is mentioned that "Don't Mind" also set a record at this time, ranking among the top 15 in history on the Billboard Albums chart for 271 consecutive weeks.

But even so, when the Glory to Death party arrived at the TV station to record tonight's "Tonight Show", seeing the crowded audience at the door, who thought it all was incredible. Compared with the crowds at the concert site, the shocking power of this scene is absolutely not inferior, because this is not a concert, but an ordinary street, a street full of life, but at this time the street is completely unrecognizable.

More than 3,000 people completely blocked the surrounding four streets. Lifting their heads, the surrounding skyscrapers were wrapped in transparent glass, and the densely packed human heads behind the glass completely filled their sights, as if the whole world was full of people. In general, that terrible illusion makes people feel an unspeakable suffocation. The heat wave on the face ignites the air. It seems that the Big Apple City is about to be unbearable and explode.

The off-road vehicle on which Glory To Death was riding almost drove away in the crowd for 30 minutes before being able to enter the underground parking lot. Even Neil couldn’t help sighing, “It seems to be more than Maracana. Be crazy."

Maracanã, that epoch-making moment, opened the rock dynasty in 1997.

This is the first time members of the Glory To Death band have collectively appeared on the "Tonight Show." To be more precise, this is the first time the band has collectively appeared on a talk show. Before that, Glory to Death had always insisted on the tour route. Even if he participated in the program, most of them were radio programs and a few news interview programs. But this time, the media couldn't easily let go of glory to death. Roger Fasson of EMI Records has been negotiating with Henry since the Grammys, which led to this "Tonight Show".

Under Hugo's introduction, the members simply greeted Jay Leno, but Jay was leaving soon because the reporters waiting at the door could no longer bear it. After Jie left, the members of Glory to Death went out under the guidance of the staff. Hugo originally thought that he would enter a waiting room for interviews, but unexpectedly entered the studio directly. Hugo couldn't help but stunned. Stunned.

Neil took a closer look, was stunned, and whispered, "These are all reporters?" His tone seemed to say: Are these people crazy?

I saw that the audience in front of me was full of more than 300 people sitting there, but it seemed that the more than 300 people were not observing the audience, but were all reporters. With such a battle, even the largest press conference was not so sensational, and on both sides of the auditorium, there were still many staff crowded in the area. The film crew of the TV station even turned on the camera, hoping to bring this historical moment. write it down.

Such a scene is reminiscent of the "trembling" of Michael Jackson back then.

Hugo thinks this is a bit absurd. He has spent his entire life not daring to expect that his music can be compared with Michael. Aside from the 104 million sales record of "Thriller", this album has inspired the entire music industry. , The transformation of the entire popular music is unimaginable. But now... he really felt that powerful force, which was unstoppable.

But in fact, regardless of historical status, there is still a long way to go between the current sales data and social impact of "Blurry Rain". Hugo didn't feel it at all. "Blurry Rain" can be compared with "Blurry Rain". "Thriller" is on the same level as heavy. Therefore, seeing the surging crowd in front of him, Hugo has an indescribable sense of banter, a bit funny, a bit ridiculous, a bit flattered, and a bit inexplicable.

The five members of Glory to Death stood in front of the audience, each holding a large number of microphones, and then the interview session began, "If I remember correctly, this should be a short interview, right?" Yu Guo's half-joking complaint made everyone at the scene chuckle, but the reporters had become cheeky and unmoved at all.

Although it is a reporter interview, the content is not too new. There are some official questions over and over, "Do you expect this album to create such a historical record", "Do you think that'storms' can be surpassed'? "Thriller?", "How are you feeling now", "When will the next single be released", "Is there a tour plan for next year"... and so on, they are probably asking about the experience of breaking records.

Almost all questions today are answered by Neil and Alfonso, and they both handle these official questions with ease. Although some problems will still go to Hugo, but there is not much new ideas, Hugo can deal with it lightly, and then give the initiative to speak to Neil and Alfonso. Despite this, the original 15-minute interview was abruptly stretched to half an hour. The reporters were still reluctant to leave, and the TV station had to forcibly evacuate, otherwise the "Tonight Show" would not start recording for a while.

Reporters actually know that this kind of brief news interview is difficult to dig out the hot spots. Either they are looking forward to an appointment for an interview, or they are waiting for the "Tonight Show" for a while, looking forward to the glory to death and sparks between Jie and Jie.

Jay Leno is also a little nervous today. He is very familiar with Hugo. Two people can be said to be close friends Today’s interview shouldn’t be too worrying, but Jay knows that today’s " "Tonight Show" is not only a talk show, but also the focus of everyone's attention: the glory to death is likely to make history next week. Such moments do not happen every day.

So Jie has been cooling his brain down, waiting for the start of the show.

Listening to the sound of the director’s countdown coming from his earplugs, Jie took a deep breath, then lowered his eyes, trying to relax as much as possible, then raised his head following the sound of the director’s stop, with a familiar smile on the corner of his mouth, "Not long ago, I and My wife talked about a topic and said that we can do something in one minute. Believe me, this is a very stupid topic, but the two of us chatted enthusiastically. We discovered that in fact, one minute is far away. Greater than we thought."

Jie freely changed a position and said easily, "Someone chatted with me on a similar topic yesterday, saying what we can do in thirty-seven weeks. I originally thought thirty-seven weeks would be very long. After thinking about it, it feels very brief, because this is less than a year, only one forty-seventh of my life. But today, someone tells us with practical actions that thirty-seven weeks, this is The length of a piece of history."

Immediately, Jie took the initiative to stand up, "Let's welcome, and glory to death!"
