Chapter 960： Ziya fishing

\"&　　"Three records 20 million..." Hugo prolonged his voice and read, as if thinking about what the offer meant, "Henry didn't intend to agree? "

Joseph shook his head, "Why, your heart moved?"

Hugo curled his lips, "As far as I am concerned, this price is already very incredible." When people face the temptation of profit, the people are too weak. When confused, always want to get more, be greedy and desire. I want to control my own thoughts, but ignore how much I deserve. With 20 million, you will want 30 million or 40 million. If it is just a quotation, then the higher the better, but Hugo knows how to get enough.

Three records of 20 million are actually very good for the glory to death. After all, they are just a band that has been established for more than a year. Even though they have achieved brilliant achievements now, if they are taken by money fans, they Sooner or later, going downhill. Therefore, Hugo is not greedy.

"However, I think I should still ask Neal and Foggin. After all, we are a band." Hugo himself does not have much extravagant hopes for money, because he is also an actor, a "" dividend It was enough for him to splurge for a long time, but not so for the other four members of the glory to death.

Regardless of Neal and Fogin, Alfonso gave up his stable job to join the band, and he is bound to want to succeed. As far as Hugo knows, Alfonso's family conditions are not very good, he needs to support the whole family. Therefore, Hugo is not sure what other teammates will think. After rolling in the entertainment circle for such a long time, Hugo will no longer habitually use his own subjective judgments. Normally, the higher the signing bonus, the better.

Joseph knew Hugo’s worries, he could only sigh lightly. In this colorful flashy circle, it is not so easy to look down on fame and fortune. He has experienced it himself, so he also understands Hugo’s current thinking. .

"I discussed with Henry and felt that the contract is actually controlled between 25 million and 30 million. Three records are reasonable." Joseph did not persuade Hugo. He knew that these things were still necessary. Let’s go with the flow, "However, in fact, the signing bonus is not. Henry does not want to see the "Bath in the Morning" before the release. He hopes to hold the initiative in our hands. If we renew the contract with EMI, this kind of thing will happen in the future. There will only be more and more, so we must have more considerations."

Henry is indeed an agent who does not take an unusual path. Other agents are all profit-oriented, but he has always adhered to the original agreement between him and the band: to ensure the maximum freedom of the band and try not to force the band to do what they do not like. thing. In the past six months, Henry has been very successful.

It can be said that Henry has at least half of the credit for the glory to death. Imagine that if Glory to the death enters a company, but the agent fails to protect the band and let the band be at the mercy of the company, perhaps, Glory to the death cannot wait for the glory of "bath in the morning light" and die.

Now, Henry is working hard for the freedom of the band, which is really rare.

At such moments, Hugo would involuntarily guess how terrible the betrayal of Mariah Carey was for Henry, so that it changed Henry's entire outlook on life and career. Hugo feels sorry for Maria, because she missed an agent worthy of entrustment, of course, he also felt fortunate, because without Maria's betrayal, Henry would not have become a glorious agent.

"So, what Henry meant was to slay Roger's appetite first, and then fight for more initiative." Hugo pondered and said.

Joseph nodded, "Well, if Roger is smart enough, he should know that what we want is not monetary benefits, but musical initiative. He has been dealing with us for more than half a year, if this I can’t see through, and it doesn’t matter if we change the record company."

Seeing Joseph’s expression, Hugo could not help being a little surprised. He didn’t know the current situation because he didn’t care too much. "Bath in the Morning Light" was just released. The third album and the new contract. It is very far away for Hugo.

Joseph understood the surprise in Hugo's eyes, and he didn't hide it, then he smiled and said, "Give you a hint, David Geffen."

Hugo immediately understood.

Speaking of David Geffen, Geffen Records is a part that cannot be ignored. Compared to his appeal in the film industry, his musical talents are better known. Among the Big Three of DreamWorks, Steven Spielberg represents movies, Jeffrey Katzenberg represents cartoons, and David Geffen represents music.

The Eagles, Guns and Roses, John Lennon, just these three names represent the peak influence of Geffen Records. In addition, the names such as Nirvana, Smith Spaceship, Zeppelin Spaceship, Elton John (.), etc. should also be added.

It can be said that although Geffen Records is not one of the five major record companies, its influence cannot be ignored by anyone. For David Geffen who calls the wind and rain, Geffen Records is the most important part.

Hugo thought this was very interesting. David took the initiative to show him his favor. They all guessed that David was because of "Interview with Vampires at Night" and because of DreamWorks. But when you think about it, the connections behind David are far more than that. in this way.

If the Glory to the death talks with EMI and the signing of Geffen Records, this is actually a good thing for the Glory to the death. Regardless of Hugo and David’s personal relationship, David was originally a very cheerful person in music. John Lennon’s last album "Double Fantasy (.fantasy was handed over to Geffen Records for release. David quickly reached an agreement without hearing the album at all, giving full creative freedom to John.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the cooperation between Glory To Death and Geffen Records will also have good prospects. Perhaps thanks to the personal relationship between Hugo and David, the resistance will be less than in EMI.

It is no wonder that Joseph and Henry will feel confident, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai posture.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but laughed, "So, does Roger know?"

Joseph pursed his lips, "I think it is very difficult for him to ignore this." After all, this is a small circle. "Actually, David didn't mention this matter specifically, but the friendship between David and you It's no secret in the circle. They can sit in Roger's position, and they all have an account in their hearts, and they know more about their connections than the parties involved."

After Hugo relied on "Schindler's List" to break into Hollywood's top power circles, the contacts extended from Steven and David were absolutely top-notch, and Hugo's two agents, Rick and Henry They are also the top group of people in the circle. Therefore, now Hugo can indeed occupy a great advantage.

Hugo nodded slightly, "Okay, I see." Although Hugo was not in a hurry, it seemed that he could relax more now.

Joseph still reminded him, "This matter is estimated to be in the past few weeks. Roger will definitely be more anxious, so I think it is better for you and Neil to discuss it earlier. There is a charter in each other's hearts. "

Henry is a glorious agent, so he considers it for the band; but Joseph is the manager of Hugo-although he also handles the band's affairs, he still considers Hugo more often, such as at this moment. Joseph also knows that the renewal of the band requires the unanimous consent of the five members of the band, and many rock bands have become famous after being confused by their interests, resulting in internal conflicts, and ultimately unhappy.

Guns and Roses’ world tour in 1992, this is a commercial contract. As a result, it led to huge disagreements within the band, and ultimately directly caused a gap in the band.

The success of Glory to Death came too fast. Although the band has also experienced hardships together, the establishment time is too short after all, unlike other bands that climbed up from the bottom step by step. Life friendship. The success of "Bath in the Morning Light" is too turbulent now. It is indeed necessary to be cautious to consider the new contract at this level.

Hugo did not speak, but let out a long breath.

Hugo has confidence in the band. He believes that his band will not have differences due to the new contract, just like the collective decision not to attend the Grammy Awards, but... 20 million, 30 million. According to the contract, even if Hugo himself was so surprised that he couldn't speak, he couldn't blame the band members for being so excited after learning the price. So, before talking inside the band, everything is still unknown.

"Did Henry say when to talk to the band members?" Hugo looked at Joseph and asked.

Joseph shook his head. Hugo knew that Henry still wanted to give him the initiative. If he procrastinated, Henry would take the initiative to stand up. This is also like Henry's personality.

Hugo nodded, and stopped talking. He turned his gaze to the script in his hand again, but his eyes were a little lost, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Joseph saw what Hugo looked like. He knew that Hugo needed time and space to think, so he didn't bother Hugo, but left lightly and walked towards the third floor, leaving Hugo a quiet place. space.

When there is no success, everyone is eager for success; but after success, they also have different troubles. The rich have the troubles of the rich, and the poor have the troubles of the poor. This is life, and being in a different position will produce different results.

I don’t know how long it’s been, Charlize’s bluffing sound suddenly came from my ear, awakening Hugo from thinking, “Damn rain, what kind of weather is this, there are still no clouds when I go out at night, why suddenly It's raining, God, I hate rain.".
