The summer of 1994 was always shrouded in a heat. From the summer season in the film market, to the four-year World Cup, to the endless stream of classic works, there will be exciting news coming out almost every week. The third week of August is no exception.

"Forrest Gump" returned to the championship throne of the North American weekend box office rankings for the second time after its release, and its cumulative box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars, becoming one of the most kingly masterpieces this year. Unlike "pulp novels", "life and death speed", "disguised weirdo" and other works, "Forrest Gump" and "Literary King" are absolutely orthodox kingly styles, so these two works have undoubtedly triggered the fanaticism of the entire North American film market, and their influence even surpassed the "Schindler's List" at the end of last year, achieving glory in 1994.

However, the biggest news this week was not "Forrest Gump", but the explosive news of MGM restarting the "007" series. As expected, the dinner at George Lucas Malibu's private home was exposed by paparazzi.

Just look at the list of guests at this dinner and know that the news cannot be hidden. Unless the paparazzi and media reporters in Los Angeles are in shock, the exposure of the news is a foregone conclusion. But the problem is that the paparazzi sneaked into the mansion without finding any news. Almost all waiters and all service staff firmly believe that this is just a private dinner for George.

But if the paparazzi give up, it would be too "news morality". So, after digging deeper, they came to this amazing conclusion.

That night, George was always with Barbara and Michael, and they talked to countless people, but several male actors had a significantly longer conversation. Among them, Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, and Hugo Lancaster, the four male actors were the most conspicuous because they were all the topical figures in recent times. Pierce was the longest conversation, lasting nearly twenty minutes.

After that, the paparazzi discovered Sam Neil and Mel Gibson again. In addition, there were several third-rate actors who were not at this level but could attend the dinner, including Pierce, so the answer was about to stand out. Even if they didn't know which actors there were still participating in the audition, it was obvious that this was the new "007" selection meeting.

The San Francisco Chronicle was the first to report this news, and was later confirmed by the New York Times, and it spread throughout the United States in an instant.

Almost everyone locked the news in such a sentence, "Hugo became the new James Bond candidate." There is no doubt that the actors who can compete with Hugo in terms of momentum in the near future do not exist at all, so for granted major media have adopted such an eye-catching title. When Hugo and James Bond met, a powerful chemical effect was created, which made countless people join the discussion.

I have to say that MGM has made a good move.

Regardless of whether Hugo will eventually serve as James Bond, or whether people agree that Hugo, a young man under the age of 30, plays James Bond, at least the topicality has already occupied the commanding heights. It is conceivable that the next new episode James Bond will inevitably attract countless attention.

The third week of August was noisy because of "Forrest Gump" and "007", but just as the week was about to end, on Sunday, August 21, EMI announced that the second album of Glory to Death will be released on August 25. This news completely ignited the tail of summer, making people clearly feel the extremely hot summer.

Now, when people mention glory until death, the first thing that comes to mind is the glory and spectacle of the "Road of Glory" tour, the second thing that comes to mind is "Don't.look.back.in.anger", and the third thing that comes to mind is Hugo.

It can be seen that Glory has gradually escaped from Hugo's personal influence and has built up his own image through a tour and a single, which also means Glory has truly gained a place in the rock circle.

So, when EDA Records announced that its second album to Glory to Death was about to be released, the entire music market was in full swing.

At this time, less than ten months have passed since the release of "almost famous", and Honor released his second album to death. Although the interval is relatively short in terms of time, it is normal. The most important thing is actually the quality of the second album, which is what everyone is most looking forward to: Can Honor continue the outstanding performance of "almost famous" until death?

David Marches, who "rotated", and Vincent Brook, the "alternative choice", obviously collided again.

Although "alternative choice" had said good things about glory to death before, in fact, in essence, Vincent still did not think that glory to death music should be considered rock.

In Vincent's view, the musical style of Glory to Death is actually just rock elements. Then, in order to win the market's favor, shamelessly mix different musical elements, which is an absolute insult to rock. In this case, the second album of Glory to Death will inevitably decline in quality, becoming more and more clichéd, and becoming more and more mediocre. "They will immerse themselves in the 'new metal rock' music they do, and then die of drunkenness, but they don't know that they are like poisonous patients who sleep in the garbage dump on the street who think they are billionaires."

Vincent firmly believes that if the musical style of glory to death continues to develop, the quality of music will become worse and worse, and the technology that rock bands are proud of will gradually become mediocre, eventually becoming salivating music completely, and being submerged in the music market. The second album of glory to death will prove his point of view.

If Hugo read Vincent's comments, he would definitely applaud. Although Vincent's words were very unpleasant, he accurately predicted the future of new metal rock. In fact, this is also the biggest difference between Glory To Death and later new metal rock: Glory To Death members have never given up on their skills, and their pursuit of music quality has not relaxed their vigilance with achieving a little success.

But objectively speaking, Vincent is indeed capable. There is a reason why "alternative choice" can win the support of rock fans and last for a long time. Just from Vincent's accurate to creepy prediction ability is admirable.

Relatively speaking, David Marches is a staunch supporter of Glory to Death. He believes that judging from the five tracks Hugo has released during the "Road of Glory" tour, this album not only has no decline in quality, but is on the contrary has been upgraded in a comprehensive manner. You can clearly feel the strength of the members of the Glory to Death band, including Hugo himself.

In David's opinion, as a lead singer, Hugo is also growing up. From his initial youth to his full control, Hugo's growth is not only rapid but also amazing; as a creator, Hugo's continuous vitality is even more amazing. As long as Hugo can keep his mind clear and glorious until his death, no drug abuse or scandal has been reported. Even in the rock circle, glory can continue this strength until his death.

David and Vincent have different opinions. In fact, this is also the state of rock fans. There is no conclusion since the debate that continued at the end of last year to the present. In fact, this will never have a result. Even twenty years later, some rock tyrants still refuse to admit that new metal rock is part of them. And this time, there is another project in the debate: What is the quality of the second album of Glory to Death? Can they continue their "almost famous" strength?

Especially now there is one of the most important things: the generation of genius Cote Coburn has disappeared. The Nirvana Band has been like a piece of sand in the past few months. Nirvana, which has lost its soul, can no longer be revitalized. Although the garbage band led by Pearl Sauce and Alice Prisoner are still strong, the entire rock market is constantly innovating and renovating the new generation bands led by the Broken Pumpkin Band and the Glory to Death, continue to launch an impact, so the subsequent rock market trend is also confusing.

In fact, the release of the second album of Glory to Death was nearly two months later than people expected. When the "Road of Glory" tour entered the second half in early July, some media actually began to report that the band was about to release the second album, which caused heated discussion at the time.

People thought EDA Records would strike while the iron was hot, but they did not expect that the news was hyped for more than a month, and the summer was about to end, and the news of the second album was "late". However, it still caused a huge storm, and the "speed of life and death" bravely crossed the threshold of 200 million US dollars. Hugo recently had a date with Cameron, and the story he and James Bond had to tell, so the news swept across the North American continent as soon as it came out.

There are people watching the show, some people watching the show, some people looking forward to the album, and some people fanatical for the band... With August 25 approaching, the entire North American market is preheating, in order to welcome the arrival of the second album of Glory to the Death.

On August 22, two groups of fans appeared on Hollywood Avenue in Los Angeles and Times Square in New York. There were probably less than 200 people. They were all wearing black plastic raincoats and a bulldog printed behind them. The bulldog had a Bauhinia crown in his mouth, and the bottom read "d.o.g is coming back." These people did nothing, just stood there, allowing many pedestrians to stop and watch. They stood there for nearly an hour, and even caused a lot of sensation. Many people thought this was performance art, which ushered in heated discussions between tourists and pedestrians.
