Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 381 Katyusha (6k chapters)

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon in New York at this time. At the entrance of the Amiri flagship store on Greene Street, someone stopped in front of the window and watched the performance projected on the window background wall.

When the Rolling Stones finished singing, a group of people started talking:

"What a fierce metal band. Which band is this video of performing there?"

"What a handsome band. Look at the clothes they are wearing. Are they the new styles of Amiri?"

"That mask is so cool, does it have any special meaning?"

Hearing this, the store clerk at the door stepped forward and invited a few people to enter the store: "Amiri, AC, and the Rolling Stones have released new co-branded models. Welcome to the store to learn more."

A few people were stunned. Amiri and AC both knew about it, but the Rolling Stones were the first to hear about it! Then he pointed at the projection and asked, "Is the band that performed just now the Rolling Stones?"

"Yes, the Rolling Stones are the spokesperson for our Amiri brand in China. This is a live broadcast of their invitation to be a guest performer at the Hatter band's concert!"

"what?"

"live streaming?"

"Hatter's guest performer?"

"Hua...Huaxia band?"

The four questions asked in unison made the clerk not sure who to answer first, but she still continued to politely invite a few people into the store.

When they came out again, each of them was carrying an Amiri shopping bag, which contained V's mask and the first volume of "V for Vendetta".

On the other side of the scene, the Rolling Stones, who had recovered their breath, turned around, picked up the masks, cloaks and hats that had just been taken off, and threw them towards the audience.

The others on the side were fine. Dayong might have been too excited to play the drums just now, and he rarely had the opportunity to throw things down on stage. When he was excited, he didn't use his excitement well. He couldn't throw it very far, and he fell directly into the explosion-proof police. On the shield.

The policeman was stunned for a moment, then solemnly took off the mask from the blast shield and hung it on his waist.

The person who had snatched the Bianlang mask before thought that it was the only one for him, and was still so excited that he couldn't calm down. Now that he saw a few more, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. But when someone got a sharpened mask and saw the signature on the back and started shouting, he also looked at the mask in his hand carefully. When he found that the back of the mask did have Bian Lang's signature, he was even more happy!

Although he had expected it, he never expected that many years later he would change his apartment with this mask...

After the commotion in the audience ended, Bian Lang said into the microphone: "I hope all of us young people can get rid of the air conditioning and just move up, without having to listen to the words of those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things do things, and those who can speak out speak out."

With a bit of heat and a bit of light, it can be like a firefly. It can also shine a little in the dark without waiting for a torch. If there is no torch from now on: we are the only light! "

While the Chinese music fans in the audience were already excited, a Chinese in the chorus area quickly translated it in Russian and read it out. Then the fighting people in the audience were excited, and the entire Red Square was boiling.

The saint standing in front of the cathedral felt relieved: "Fortunately, it's not those Christians!"

Ambassador Qin, who was standing on the other side of the quarantine area, was also filled with excitement at this moment. As the Chinese ambassador in Moscow, he had experienced many important moments of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the sense of national pride he felt at this moment was no less than those of those. Big event scenes one after another.

Moreover, he feels that the craze caused by the song Bianlang will not only stay in Moscow, but also in the Soviet Union. He unreasonably believed that the influence of this song would spread from Red Square to European countries, and then the whole world...

Olaf also thought the same thing as him. When he got Bianlang's lyrics and music, he said seriously to Walker: "I suggest that we discuss with Wave to translate this song into other languages, and then within the company Find other singers to cover and release it.”

At the time, Walker didn't take it seriously because it was too difficult to translate songs across languages. Especially translating Chinese songs into other languages ​​is even more difficult. Just like Bian Lang's "Shameless", they tried it but gave up in the end.

Just the matter of rhyming requires the translator to rack his brains, not to mention matching the rhythm and melody while being able to express the charm of the Chinese language.

In fact, when "The Internationale" was translated on the original Earth, there were various problems of this kind.

The original French version has a total of six verses, while the Tang Dynasty version only has three verses. But even on the original earth, everyone knows only three verses, which are the first, second and sixth verses of the original song.

This is not because there is any element of conspiracy theory in it, but because the first Chinese version at that time was translated by Qu Qiubai based on the Russian version, and that version only had these three paragraphs. After everyone had become accustomed to singing, Xiao San translated again and felt that there was no need to complete the song.

After all, these three paragraphs can already clearly express the three elements of this song that is similar to a "counsel".

But now Walker sees the current reaction in Red Square and feels that Olaf's idea at the time was absolutely correct. Just the scene where tens of thousands of people sang along with "La La La" in Red Square is definitely worthy of DGM's special attention I asked a few lyricists and translators to cooperate, but I had to gnaw down the English version no matter what.

As for the Russian version, Walker knew they didn't need to worry about it anymore.

Speaking of the Russian version, Isinbayeva in the audience has the deepest understanding of it. She took the lead in the translation of "Katyusha" and "The Internationale". When she got the initial literal translation, she didn't find it too surprising except that she felt it was more in line with the temperament of a fighting nation.

But after the group invited a Chinese literary translator to read the Chinese version of the lyrics, she only said one sentence to her and she knew that she still underestimated the "Internationale"!

That sentence is: "Ms. Isinbayeva, being able to translate this song will be the most proud thing in my career."

At this moment, Isinbayeva looked at the scene and recalled this sentence repeatedly, feeling that what this leading figure in the translation industry said was indeed correct.

And she also had a strong interest in Bian Lang on the stage. She wanted to know what the purpose of a Chinese musician who played rock music was, and what he had experienced in his previous life before he could create music. Produce such a work.

At this time, Bian Lang on the stage, after a wave of emotions, spoke into the microphone: "Now we invite our Katyusha to appear!"

Hearing this name, the fighting people in the audience did not cheer this time, but looked at each other in confusion.

There is no shortage of love stories in war, no matter in time or space. As long as the war continues, there will be girls waiting for their lovers to return from the frontier.

In the Soviet Union, Katyusha has become synonymous with this type of girl.

Although there are no songs left, as long as Su people hear this name, a special feeling will begin to spread in their hearts.

But I never would have thought of Bian Lang's words: "What does inviting Katyusha mean?"

But just as Bian Lang finished speaking, the roar of a diesel engine came from the large tents on both sides of the stage that blocked the entrance to the isolation passage.

As the tent curtain was opened, two Katyusha rocket launchers with their weapon devices removed slowly drove out.

At this time, those fans who had previously complained that the isolation zone was too wide instantly understood the meaning of what the concert organizer did.

They actually want this rocket launcher to drive into the field!

Looking closely, I saw that the rail launcher behind the front of the car, which was originally higher than the top of the front, had been modified into a small stage that could hold people.

Not only can people stand on it, but it is also equipped with return speakers. On the left and right sides, there is a small stage modified by a transmitter truck, and there is also a musician carrying an electric guitar standing on each side.

After seeing clearly that it was Hatter's lead singer Feimos and lead guitarist Bob, some people had a question in their minds: "Whose concert is this? Who is the guest singer?"

But this is not important. What is important is that the appearance of these two weapons that contributed to the victory of the Soviet army during World War II rekindled the atmosphere in Red Square that had just cooled down a bit.

Together with the cheers, the momentum was not weaker than the moment when the "Internationale" was sung just now.

When the two cars came to a stop opposite each other in the center of the stage and the sound of the engine turned off, the passenger door of the car on the left side of the stage was opened.

I saw a female performer wearing a Soviet military dress, a boat-shaped hat, and an accordion on her upper body leaning out.

However, she did not get out of the car. She just put her feet on the side pedals that were more than one meter above the ground, leaned against the door frame, and then started pressing the keys in her hand.

This accordion player's name is Natasha. When she was young, she often went to the battlefield to perform condolences. The scene now is very similar to when she went to the front line. Many times she and her partners would perform on the side rails or in the back of a car.

At this moment, the scene reappeared, and the smile on her face had nothing to do with the performance...

As soon as the unique bellows sound of the bayan accordion came out, the artistic genes of the Muscovites present began to activate!

As the most popular folk instrument in the Soviet Union, after the accordion was introduced to the ancient Soviet Union in the middle of the last century, the Su people who loved this instrument very much began to transform this instrument that was not perfect at the time.

So far, Suzhou can still produce treble, alto, tenor, bass, and double bass accordions specifically for accordion bands, as well as accordions exclusively for orchestras, as well as bassoons, tubas, and bass tubas. Accordions with special sounds such as horn, French horn, trumpet, clarinet, etc. The largest model of button accordion produced in modern Suzhou has a musical range from E1 in the big group to f4 in the small group, covering all seventy-seven semitone levels, exceeding six octaves. It is also one of the few in the world of musical instruments.

So even though what Natasha was playing was not a song they were familiar with, tens of thousands of Muscovites were clapping along with it!

And it was not only the Moscow music fans who rejoiced, but also the Chinese music fans watching the live broadcast started to liven up on the barrage when they heard the accordion intro.

"Qi Tusu! Qi Tusu, Qi Tusu!"

"The first line of defense has been breached and needs support!"

"Citizen, please open the door, we invite you to Lubyanka!"

At this time, Bian Lang, who was holding a microphone, and Di Li, who was carrying an electric guitar, walked forward from the stage. Li Li jumped lightly onto the rocket launcher where Bob was, and Bian Lang jumped onto Philip Morris. This side of Sri Lanka.

The car on Bianlang's side happened to be the car Natasha was in. As soon as he stood firm, Bianlang followed the rhythm and started playing rhythm with the fans at the scene.

The 8-bar prelude was not long. After 30 seconds of the brisk accordion solo, Bian Lang raised his hands and pinched his five fingers to make a gesture of muting his voice, and the whole place fell into silence under his command.

But two seconds later, the driver on the opposite side of the car made a stroke from the 17th to the 2nd fret, and then continued to bend the strings.

Dayong's hands holding the drum sticks hit the cymbal heavily, while simultaneously playing the bass drum. The sound of drums and electric guitar intertwined, like the curtain before the war, slowly opening.

Bob, who followed up, pushed the strings with a shaker and used an electric guitar to simulate the sound of an air raid siren. Meanwhile, Feimos on Bian Lang's side, just like Bian Lang in the previous song, strummed the strings with the electric guitar in his hand. The "chunk" sound is just like a machine gun.

Coupled with Dayong's "heavy artillery", a scene of raging war was simulated by several people using musical instruments.

At the same time, Huang Kai, who was playing bass, left the area where he was originally standing and walked to where Di Li was standing. After Di Li pushed the last set of 17 frets, he stepped on the pedal for him.

After the original distortion sound effect was replaced with overdrive, the RIff, which was exactly the same as the accordion intro just now, was transmitted to every corner of the Red Square through the 32 line arrays on both sides of the stage.

It's just that it's different from the brisk accordion before. The overloaded electric guitar sound now gives people the feeling that it's not just a bulldozer driving into their ears. The audience feels like a tank has entered their ears. It's still like walking and firing at the same time.

Faced with this sudden high-energy performance, the live music fans were a little caught off guard. They first started with exclamations, and then started waving their arms and shouting "Ula!" to follow!

Especially the closest row is now less than half a meter away from the rocket launch vehicle.

If it weren't for the riot police standing in the way, these excited fans would definitely climb into the car!

As for the music fans watching the live broadcast, at least one-third of the current barrages are typing: "The headphone gang is dead!"

The rest is to make Soviet jokes such as: "Open the door, we are the Ministry of Internal Affairs..." and so on.

Strauss, who has arrived in Spring City and settled down, is now watching the live broadcast with several girls from Compass in the Rolling Stone Records store. Just this shot from Di Li was so shocked that she jumped up from the sofa, then pointed at the tablet on the table and said: "I should buy my own ticket and fly to Moscow! The song "Wave" was not in the performance plan before. .”

Seeing her reaction, Yang Meng hurriedly gave her a hand and said, "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities for you to act in the future."

Zhou Ketong, who was accompanying them, also advised: "Strauss, you have to get used to Brother Lang's style. I remember that at the previous Ximanmang Music Festival, he wrote two new songs overnight!"

After she finished speaking, Kapok corrected her: "I didn't write two songs in one night, I wrote one in one night, and then another one on the day of the performance!"

"Ah, really?" Facing Zhou Ketong who was a little stunned, Kapok smiled and said: "You didn't follow me at the time, so you may not know about this. You can wait for someone to come back and ask Brother Yong and the others."

After waiting for the words to be finished, Zhou Ketong translated the words to Strauss. The Welsh girl could only sit down silently, then shook her head and continued to watch the live broadcast.

The prelude to these two sections was also 30 seconds long. Just when the performance entered 1 minute and seconds, Bian Lang strode up to the front of the car, stood facing the chasing light, picked up the microphone, and sang with a metallic sound at the bottom of his vocal cords. : "While pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, soft gauze is floating on the river...Katyusha stands on the steep bank, and her singing is like bright spring...Katyusha stands on that steep bank, and her singing is like bright spring." Spring...!"

At first glance, the lyrics are an out-and-out love song, but the heavy metal version performed by the Rolling Stones is completely like a war song.

I couldn't understand the specific meaning of the song, and couldn't see the subtitles. The Moscow music fans just recognized Katyusha and just followed the rhythm and got high.

But those Chinese music fans in the live broadcast room of Xiaopo Station began to use the quintessence of Chinese culture to fill the screen:

"Oh my God, when I saw a love song with such beautiful lyrics, my style changed completely as soon as the Stones started singing!"

"It feels like I'm going to die for my love, and it's very fierce!"

"In the past, there was the doom and destruction metal of "Good Luck", and now there is the love and destruction metal. The Rolling Stones are completely challenging our bottom line."

"Haha, this is the Rolling Stones. They can turn any lyrics into metal... You really don't accept it!"

During this period, the passenger door of the missile launch vehicle facing the stage to the right was also opened, and a female singer dressed in the same outfit as Natasha popped up. With Bob's help, she climbed up the ladder to the roof of the vehicle, and then Following the rhythm, she showed off her ballet moves on the roof of the car.

When the music fans in the audience saw this scene, they wished that the Red Square could be expanded several times so that they would have space to dance a song with this person.

Even Ambassador Qin, who was not far away, joked with Isinbayeva: "I think if space permits, I think someone will dance the Gopac dance to this music!"

Isinbayeva glanced at Ambassador Qin and replied quickly: "Actually, I had this idea, but the Rolling Stones rejected it after I proposed it..."

The reason why Bian Lang rejected people's kindness was first of all because this was not a party. Bian Lang had never heard of or thought about backup dancing in a rock music scene.

The second thing is that this dance is also nicknamed "Meniscus Crusher". When Bian Lang saw the male fighting nation squatting and doing this dance, his own meniscus became sore, so he gave it to him without any consideration. Rejected.

As for the singer, she was originally part of the performance, so she could twist as much as she liked.

Bian Lang's singing continued, and he entered the next paragraph without a pause: "The girl sings beautiful songs, she is singing about the eagle on the grassland... She is singing about her beloved, and she also hides her lover's letters... …She is singing about her beloved, and she also hides her lover’s letters…”

At the end of this section, Dili lifted the tremolo of his electric guitar and gave Bob, who was relaying, a gun gesture.

I saw Bob starting from the 14th fret, using his fingertips to climb all the way up the fingerboard, and the waves of distorted sound effects were rising towards the Red Square.

Then the right hand also came to the 17th fret, and quickly played the strings between the upper and lower frets.

At this time, the live broadcast also showed a close-up of his hands. The guitarists who were watching and learning in the live broadcast room were so excited that they stood up regardless of the risk of tearing the headphone cables. They gestured and started to play the air, and their mouths were matched. The last two sentences are the quintessence of the nation.

As for someone like Strauss who is familiar with the arrangement process of the Rolling Stones, he still adds at the end: "Bian Lang is such a pervert! This arrangement is designed to persuade beginners to give up!"

There was also a smart person who directly highlighted a red barrage with special effects in the live broadcast room: "Oh! Bian Lang, I have seen your name on the anti-revolutionary list. Please come with me!"

After 40 seconds of solo, Bob returned the lead guitar playing rights to Li. After Li played an interlude similar to the intro, the man in the military skirt in the car started singing in Russian: "Ой" ,тыпесня, песенкадевичья…”

Chinese subtitles also appeared on the big screen: "Ah, the singing girl's voice, follow the bright sun... Go to the soldiers on the distant frontier, convey Katyusha's greetings... Go to the soldiers on the distant frontier... , convey Katyusha's greetings... The young warrior stationed at the border misses the distant girl in his heart... Fight bravely to defend the motherland, Katyusha's love will always belong to him... Fight bravely to defend the motherland, Katyusha's love will always belong to him... …”

The syllables and speaking speed of Russian are faster than those of Chinese, so when the lyrics within the same summary are translated into Russian and sung back, it is a bit like being turned on at 2x speed.

In addition, the female singer's enunciation in the treble range of the fourth group is extremely clear, and it feels like she is shooting machine gun bullets into your ears.

As soon as the Moscow music fans at the scene heard the mother tongue, their bodies seemed to have received a signal. They were just waving their arms, but now they jumped to the rhythm.

When this section was over, Bian Lang sang the last line with the five people in the chorus area, three Chinese plus four Russian, three male voices mixed with four female voices, six operatic voices and her rock voice. : "While pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, soft gauze is floating on the river... Katyusha stands on the steep bank, her singing is like the bright spring light... Katyusha stands on the steep bank, her singing is like the bright spring light... …”

At the end of the last sentence, the seven people with clear division of labor took charge starting from the 7th group of trebles and continued to the 4th group of trebles, singing all the fans' imaginations of this song.

Whether it is passionate or magnificent, whether it is war or love, or tracing the past and present. All the emotions you can think of are conveyed by this last line.

And just after all the voices and musical instruments stopped, Natasha, who was leaning against the car door, straightened her back and played the accordion again.

With a light and melodious song, I drew an ellipse for this song...
