Chapter 1529 Chapter 1529

Roger suddenly felt someone slapping his arm. He opened his eyes impatiently and couldn't help but want to scold the other party because the other party disturbed his enjoyment. But when he opened his eyes, he realized that Henry was slapping his arm, and Neil and Hugo, who were standing next to him, also looked at him with inquiring eyes, which made Roger realize his loss of composure.

Roger reluctantly took the headset, and the melody echoed in his mind still did not dissipate, as if imprinted in the depths of his soul. Hugo's majestic and surging roar still echoed on his eardrums, "Sailing! Sailing! Sailing!"

It is hard to imagine that just the power of a word makes the whole person tremble.

Facing Henry's lazy exploratory look, Roger was a little afraid to look directly. He had had many dealings with Henry and knew clearly that Henry was not a good opponent, so Roger looked away and looked at Hugo and Neil, and finally his eyes met with Hugo.

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of excitement and curiosity, "So, how do you feel? You have heard it so many times, but you still have no comments at all, which makes me feel a little nervous." Hugo's words made Henry, who was standing aside, chuckle.

Roger heard Henry's slight voice, looked at Henry with his eyes, and finally said, "Uh, Hugo, your thoughts are really..." Roger then realized that he hadn't spoken for too long, and his throat was hoarse, which made him feel so itchy that he couldn't help coughing twice, "It's so bold."

Roger did not give a positive comment, but this should not be surprising, because Roger is not Henry, he is a senior leader in North America distribution of EDI Records. What he needs to consider is not musicality, but commerciality.

"You should know that it is difficult for the market to accept such an album that is too experimental." Roger's speech was a bit obscure because his blood was still boiling, but he could only force himself to bite the bullet and pour cold water on it.

Hugo was not surprised at all and said with a smile, "It's like new metal?" This made Roger's words twitch.

The reason why Honor was able to sign a contract with Eida Records was actually because their new metal music was unswervingly persistent and sharp. Roger was attracted by the spirit of Honor until his death and chose to sign the contract. The facts also proved that Roger's decision was wise.

But now that EDA Records has gained a foothold in North America, Roger, like all the superiors, has begun to be conservative. "Since this method has been successful, why should we change it?" This is a common problem for almost all the superiors in every industry, from Hollywood to the music circle, and in all aspects of society. So, when Apple came out of nowhere, Steve Jobs achieved such great success because he dared to try choices that others dared not.

Roger believes that Honor has achieved success in the previous model according to his previous model. If he changes rashly and is the most critical third volume, the risk is too great, and it is also the consequence of EMI Records and Roger's unwillingness to bear.

Hugo's sarcastic rhetoric made Roger a little embarrassed.

In fact, Roger is now in a stage of fighting between rationality and emotional celestial beings. From an emotional perspective, he was moved by the music that was glorious to death. The surging enthusiasm almost made him unable to put it down. He could not explain what this feeling was, and he didn't know why this method, which seemed destined to fail, could awaken his resonance, but he liked it so much, and was fascinated.

But from a rational perspective, Roger knew that he could not be influenced by personal emotions. Hugo's attempt was too bold and radical, and it was difficult to accept in today's market. Of course, if it succeeds, it would open a new history; but what about failure? The sign of Honor to Death will be completely destroyed on the third volume. The consequence is that EDA Records, which just signed a heavyweight contract with Honor to Death, was unwilling to bear. Roger's reason knew that failure could far exceed the chance of success.

Roger suppressed the struggle deep in his heart and looked at Hugo with a formal expression, "This is different from New Metal. New Metal is a trend-based development. It is inevitable in chance. I know that your music can succeed, and I also believe that New Metal can occupy a place in the market like grunge. "But this is different, you should clearly know that the flaws in the sound quality are almost irreversible. No one will buy an album full of noise. Sorry, Hugo, we are a profitable company, not a charity company. We cannot release albums recorded in this way."

"Spend money to buy the pain." Hugo just repeated this sentence and chuckled. Although he expected Roger's opposition, he still felt ironic, especially Roger's reaction just now had actually leaked his personal emotions. This is the sorrow of a big record company.

At this time, Henry, who had been lazy, sneered, which made Roger frown and glared at Henry, because Henry's ridicule had affected his dignity, but when he saw the ridicule in Henry's eyes, Roger was still a little guilty.

"I can't release it, but I still don't want to release it." Henry was still lazy, but his speech began to become sharp. At this time, Henry had truly understood the intention of glory to death. Henry knew that Hugo was right. This is why he liked glory to death, and this is also the reason why he only signed a group of artists to death in Glory to death. Although many artists wanted to transfer to him since glory to death, they were rejected by Henry.

"Roger, we are all wise people. I can't see that Eddie Records play any role in it." Henry said simply and neatly, "If Honor completes recording this album to death, let me see how much the cost is. Oh, God, it's zero, because the band has completed all the productions themselves. Eddie Records don't need any money or your help; and then... in terms of sales, of course, if you follow your route, you will have to share the bill with the business, but if we go to the chain store to arrange it on the shelves, I think it's not difficult to find one or two chain stores with the appeal of Hugo and Honor to death. As for publicity, well, if I remember correctly, the promotional fee for Honor to death has never been high, because we have a busy Hugo and he can't participate in too much publicity, so the album of Honor to death has always relied on reputation to drive sales..."

"So, I'm thinking..." Henry was still holding his chin and began to think seriously, "Why should we let EMI release this album? Yes, we just signed the contract in February last year, and there were two albums in three years, right, but we didn't specify the time for the album to be released, right? So maybe, we can treat this album as an independent album of experimental nature, and hand it over to an independent record company to release it, and then record other albums to fulfill the contract."

Henry's words made Roger feel heartbroken because Henry's words were all right, damn it, "Henry, you know it's impossible, during the contract, the glory to death albums are not allowed to be released by other companies, which is not practical."

"Yes, I forgot this, so, why not do this? We will only cooperate with EDA Records to release the album, if you don't want to..." Henry looked at Hugo and Neil, "How about we start our second tour of Glory to Death? This experimental album was given to fans as a gift for tickets during the tour."

Hugo and Neil looked at each other, and a radiant light burst out in their eyes. For them, the significance of this album is not to make money, but to this album that truly belongs to glory to death. What it condenses is the meaning of glory to death. Therefore, the method Henry said is completely feasible!

Roger was completely dumbfounded at this time. If it were any other time, standing in front of Henry, Roger would have a way to turn the situation around and would not be at all, because Glory To Death is bound by contract with EDA Records, and even if he goes to court, EDA Records will be a winner. But now Roger is speechless, not only because Henry's method is really feasible, but also because deep down in his heart, he wanted to nod and agree.

A war between reason and emotion has never been an easy victory or defeat, and no one can make a judgment easily.

Looking down at the earphones in his hand, the melody in Roger's mind was still echoing, "Sailing! Sailing! Sailing!" The majestic momentum spread over the sky in Hugo's interpretation. The touching made an old fox like Roger unable to help but move. This is the real charm of music.

Suddenly, Roger understood that the reason why the melody just now was moved was that the most essential thing of music was revealed to the death of glory, touching the softest and most beautiful part of the heart.

Roger couldn't help but show a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, "Henry, an excellent choice." These stupid words made Henry raise his eyebrows slightly, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although it was not obvious, it leaked Henry's pride.

Roger did not say Henry's threat just now, but said that Henry pulled him from the office to Highway 50. Perhaps from the beginning, this was a trap, allowing Roger to truly experience the bumpy feeling of walking on the road from glory to death, and then let Roger hear the music of glory to death with his own ears, and then discuss the conditions. When Roger realized it, he was already in a trap. When he was passive, it was already very difficult for Roger to take the initiative again.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the music of glory to death is excellent enough and moving enough.

Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help but look at Henry more. He was not sure that Henry had heard of the master of glory to death, so he was confident; or Henry had such trust in glory to death himself. If it were the latter...
