Superstar - Chapter 2140
Since 1990, the Super Bowl halftime show has entered the All-Star era. In the past nine years, only one midfield show was supported by a singer-Michael Jackson. All other performances were performed by The joint performance of multiple singers is mainly to ensure that this stage of 100 million audiences can have sufficient appeal, and apart from Michael, there are currently very few singers who can have such appeal.
Someone once suggested Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey to sing the halftime show, but their historical influence is still not enough, and they do not have the ability to support the ultimate matchup of the first sport in the United States. Therefore, it has never been possible.
Influence does not mean sales or popularity. These are just components of influence. The real influence is the energy that permeates the entire social culture. For example, the “Star Wars” series has permeated American culture everywhere, for example, Michael Jackson has permeated all aspects of American society. The test of the Super Bowl halftime show is social influence.
Now, Glory to the death has such qualifications and has been recognized by the Super Bowl. In fact, if it is pure glory to death, their influence is still difficult to compare with the peak of Michael, but because the lead singer of the band is Hugo, and Hugo’s current influence can definitely be said to be unique in North America, even on a global scale. Being able to be in the forefront, that’s why the band won such a glory.
Not only Alfonso, but even Fujin showed a shocked expression at this time, obviously having some indigestion for the heavy news of Henry.
Hugo is no exception. He frowned slightly in surprise, and asked curiously, “What the NFL is doing?”
Henry shrugged, with an expression of no comment, “It’s nothing more than a consideration of commercial interests, nothing special.” Although Henry’s words are simple and rough, they are indeed the most reasonable, “If you are really curious, Paul hopes It’s up to you to have lunch with the band members tomorrow.”
Before Hugo had time to speak, he saw Fujin and Alfonso both cast their sights at him, which made Hugo laugh dumbly, and then nodded, “Why not?”
Glory to Death has experienced many grand performances, including Maracana, which has never been seen before. With more than 200,000 spectators and more than 700,000 participants, it can almost be said to be a Woodstove The K-like miracle has become a pilgrimage target for countless rock enthusiasts. However, if there are more difficult challenges in this world, maybe the Super Bowl can be counted as one.
In fact, the number of live audiences of the Super Bowl is definitely not as good as Maracana, or even less than the Rose Bowl; but the influence of the Super Bowl covers the entire United States, even the Oscars and the Grammys are incomparable, and it is counted on a global scale. Hundreds of millions of viewers will watch this game, which is undoubtedly the most influential and far-reaching event in the entire English circle, even in China. The global influence of the National Spring Festival Gala is incomparable.
Therefore, it is very difficult to be on the stage of the Super Bowl, and it is even more difficult to conquer the world on the stage of the Super Bowl.
This is another challenge for the glory to death, and it can even be said to be the ultimate challenge. Fujin and Alfonso don’t want to miss it, and Hugo does not want to.
When Hugo met Paul Taribe, he was quite surprised. The head of the nation’s No. 1 sports does not look like a businessman or an athlete. Instead, he looks like an elementary school principal, a little bit. Bookish, a little bureaucratic, and indescribably amiable.
But it is such an old man who does not seem to have any characteristics, but he single-handedly pushed the commercial value of the NFL to the peak, first opened the star era of the Super Bowl midfield show, and then accepted the 20th Century Fox proposal, in the midfield Show the “Independence Day” advertisement. The seemingly incomparably simple choice, hidden behind it is superhuman wisdom and determination, which also makes the influence of football in North America far beyond baseball, basketball and ice hockey.
Paul stood up with a smile, tidyed up his tie, and said warmly and politely, “I hope that the environment here can make you like it. Our colleagues always like such a warm and warm atmosphere, so we are arranging the restaurant. At the time, my assistant obviously did not take your situation into consideration.”
No self-introduction, but started with a restaurant topic, so that the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious. This is an Italian family-style restaurant. Behind it is a big fireplace. Freshly baked pizza is being grilled. The spacious long wooden table in the center is not a problem even if it can accommodate twenty people. Wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans Waiters walk through the lobby, making the restaurant look like a big family dinner, not a place to welcome guests.
“If so many of us came to the French restaurant, the restaurant manager would invite us out politely.” Personally, a simple sentence made everyone chuckle. Neil then said immediately, “We were late for a while, please forgive us for our impoliteness.”
In fact, Glory to death was not late. They even arrived at the scene ten minutes early. They did not expect to see Paul and his party waiting at the table early. But out of courtesy, Neil still said so.
Paul waved his hand with a smile, “We are the only ones who are really rude. We arrived at the restaurant 25 minutes early. This is not the right way to respond to the invitation.” If the date arrives too early, it is too late to arrive In fact, one of the parties is also rude, because it will put too much pressure on the other party, even if it is not late, it will become late. “We don’t need to be polite here, let me introduce to you…”
A total of four people came to the NFL today. In addition to Paul, the current NFL chief, two are senior executives from the marketing operations department, and one is a senior executive from the press department. It can be seen that they attach great importance to this cooperation, and they are all heavyweights. In addition, all the members of the Hugo band arrived on the scene, and Henry also came together, and the mighty ten people gathered together, which was indeed very lively.
Just as everyone was about to take their seats, the general manager of the market operations department standing on the far right took out a transparent glass box with a game ball in it and handed it forward, and the direction was Hugo. I heard that your father is a fan of the 49ers, so I specially prepared a gift.”
The San Francisco 49ers, this is also the home football team that Adam has supported for a lifetime. However, since the 49ers in San Francisco are in the far away San Francisco, and Adam lives in Wyoming all the year round, Adam’s support has not been considered fanatical. Under the influence of Hugo, since last year, it has gradually become Peyton Manning’s place. Supporter of the Indianapolis Colts. Nevertheless, the San Francisco 49ers still carry many memories of Adam about football.
Hugo did not conceal his accident, because almost everything about Adam was confidential information to the outside world, but now someone can know it. This is really a strange thing. The opponent seemed to notice what Hugo meant, and explained with a smile, “It is not difficult for us to find the members of a team.”
Hugo suddenly realized that he took the glass box and took a closer look. There was even a signature of a generation of superstar Steve Young on it. It can be seen that they have indeed made careful preparations.
Seeing the smile on Hugo’s face, Paul explained to others, “We have no plans to make Hugo special, but since you don’t seem to have a passion for rugby, I would rather not give a gift or give the wrong gift. .” A little humor made everyone’s attention away from this little episode.
After the order was over, Paul was not in a hurry to talk about business, but let everyone chat. He sat next to him alone, like an outsider, which was really interesting. Neil noticed Paul’s loneliness, a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to say, “Sorry, when we talk about music, we always get into a crazy state.” A few of them just talked about the “Twisted Tour” in Chicago. , It’s a very happy conversation.
Paul waved his hand with a smile, “No, no, don’t worry about me. This is a good thing. You can find the enthusiasm in my heart. I don’t have this kind of enthusiasm when I talk about rugby. I deeply feel that I am old. Yes. I really hope to be able to join the touring carnival, but for me, jazz will always be an irreplaceable classic, so it is more appropriate for me to be a bystander.”
Unexpectedly, Paul did not praise the glory to death ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and did not deliberately pursue it, but mocked himself with a ridiculous gesture. This instead made Neil chuckle. “The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, they should be very hurt when they hear this.”
“Michael Jackson said the same to me at the beginning.” Paul only used the simplest sentence to make everyone at the dining table chuckle. Paul adjusted it a bit, and then said, “So when When someone proposed to invite a rock band to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show next year, my first reaction was,’Are you kidding me?’”
Almost in the circumstances that no one expected, Paul cut into today’s theme without any violation. This skill is indeed admirable, and it can be seen that the chief leader of the nation’s first movement is definitely not so gentle and harmless on the outside. On the contrary, no one who can reach such a high position is weak.
After Paul finished speaking, he chuckled, “Please forgive me, I really don’t have any research on rock and roll, Frank Sinatra is the greatest singer in my heart.” This honest statement did not feel offensive. , Showing his sincerity and friendliness, “However, when the fifth person in a row mentioned the band’Glory to Death’ in front of me, I was a little bit curious for the first time.”
