Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 411 The train sails towards the heavens and the dream rests in peace in the sky
Just as the leaders were looking forward to the future, the performance of "Do You Want to Dance" was coming to an end.

Huang Wei in the audience was also in agitated mood. She has been living on her laurels these years. She is not as good as her predecessors, but she definitely has a lot more than her peers.

But people of her generation have no concept of lying flat in their minds. Moreover, as a single mother with a daughter who has just entered college, she still has reasons and motivation to continue fighting.

This year, with the help of a song by Bian Lang, she began to have the opportunity to become famous. Then she collaborated with the New Pants Band on an album, "Don't Ask Me What Is Disco", which was also considered a success, completely kicking off the second spring of her career.

My daughter also started working in Bian Lang’s comic studio while in college.

Therefore, her gratitude to Bian Lang was no less than that of any artist under the Rolling Stones, so she started to twist with the people in the circle right there.

Wearing a sequin skirt and an afro, she is quite eye-catching even among this crowd of artists. In addition, there are two special camera positions in their auditorium for filming. This shot was shot by the photographer and director. The joint efforts appeared in the live broadcast.

That's okay if she is alone. As soon as the artists around them appeared, netizens were completely excited: "Oh! This audience's lineup can compete with some satellite TV shows!"

As for Lanmei International, with the help of the broadcast of the concert, they achieved the feat of exceeding 1% in ratings for the second time since the establishment of the station. The last time it was the opening ceremony of the 99 World Horticultural Exposition!

After singing "Do You Want to Dance", there was another song for the new pants according to the plan, but Bian Lang was not in a hurry to continue, but picked up the bag of Xibiqi and took another sip, strengthening the planting of his own beer advertisement. enter.

Lao Pan invited these over, and they were all holding their heads upright before arriving. But when they arrived at the scene and saw the battle, one word came to mind: "Submit!"

Amid the well-meaning cheers from the fans, Bian Lang took off the microphone and started chatting with the fans. This is his first New Year's Eve since time travel, and the significance of the node is self-evident. Even if Niu Bo didn't remind him before, he still wanted to chat with everyone.

Similarly, I believe that before the Rolling Stones became popular, there were many fans here who had not listened to rock music for many years. They all raised their hands to show me! "Bian Lang said as he walked around the stage, and finally walked to the area where the people in the audience were and stopped without hesitation.

Many people criticized the music festival for being unsightly. There were only a few bands playing over and over, and there were only a few songs, with no innovation at all. The ticket prices kept rising, and the front of the stands was set up as VIP, which cost an extra 200. You have to pay yuan to get in.

"Thank you to all the fans who are here today. Rolling Stone Music would not be able to achieve what it is today without everyone's support and love. The new year is about to pass. On behalf of everyone at Rolling Stone Music, I wish you all a Happy New Year! Forever young, Tears forever in my eyes!”

Sure enough, not many fans responded by saying "Happy New Year!", but at least 80% responded by saying "Forever young, forever filled with tears!"

The key point is that some people say that the music festival is no longer pure. In the beginning, it was just folk music, but now even rap and pop singers come to the music festival.

The label "niche" often represents the concept of scarcity and high price when applied to other things, such as clothing and catering. But when it comes to entertainment, for the audience, it means unique taste, and for the creators, it means poverty.

This kind of truth, even if they don't drink too much in private, is often spoken by people in the circle, but in public, no one has done that in the past few years.

This last sentence is extremely provocative no matter when it is applied to rock youth.

Then, under the leadership of Lao Pan and Liu Yao, a large group of old rockers started cheering: "Well said!"

There is a saying that sums it up well: "Who listens to rock music if you are not sick!" A lot of ordinary people on the original earth went to KTV, and you sang "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" and the more you sang like the original version, the more people thought you were sick. Not light.

Wu Tong, the original Grammy-winning boss, was not a rock musician before, but if you ask around your circle of friends, if one out of 10 people knows the band Samsara, then that’s a sign of high status.

About half of the music fans present raised their hands honestly. The half who didn't raise their hands, those who kept listening to rock music, were probably less than 10% of the audience.

This is the reality that has to be admitted. Even though Bianlang has achieved some results now, rock music is still a niche music that needs strong emotions to drive it. Just like this book, the problem is a little bit, but it is still a very niche subject in the entertainment category.

Some of them are from Rolling Stone, some they collaborated with during "China Rock 29", and some who have never interacted with Bian Lang before and were purely invited by Lao Pan.

This is really not just for the rock circle or Aquamarine. This is probably the same situation on the original earth.

However, when these words came from Bian Lang's mouth, the older underground generation was quite relieved. They felt that since Bian Lang wanted to carry this banner now, there was nothing wrong with his words.

This is especially true for musicians. If a director makes a niche literary film, there is another way to win awards and sell the copyright overseas. If you make niche music, even if you get a lot of leftover Grammys, you still won't achieve anything.

After everyone calmed down, Bian Lang continued: "It was not easy for us to play rock music in the past, and it was not easy for everyone to like to listen to rock music. For a long time in the past, capital pursued traffic, and those of us who were stubborn and accepted death were Guys, there is no good creative environment and living environment, and the older generation of rock people have been made to lose their spirits.

Seeing that everyone was still giving face, Bian Lang continued: "Let's talk about our new generation, how many of them have been eaten from one album until now? These songs are played in every music festival, even if the music fans can't afford it. , I guess you are almost sick from singing! And those fans who are younger than us, how many of them paid attention to rock music before the Rolling Stones started, show me your hands?"

What's the problem? The problem is that in the hot entertainment and performance market, neither capital nor audiences really have any patience.

The band is also extremely polarized. People die of drought and die of drought.

Those bands at the top are busy making money, who has time to write songs?
Pain Yang performed 71 times across the country in one year, came to Spring City 4 times, and toured three music festivals in one trip. On average, a performance takes less than five days, so why talk about finding faith in pain?
As for those at the bottom, the performance fee of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan for a music festival is divided by each brother after the performance. Sometimes it is not enough to change the piano. If they are squeezed by life, music will become a side job. If you already have hobbies and interests, who would still have the energy to engage in creation?

And often those classic rock songs that can be passed down were all written when these musicians were relatively poor or at a low point in their lives.

It makes no sense to say this, but it is indeed the case.

This kind of example is hard to come by even in the rock circle. Let’s talk about the original Chinese pop music circle. When I was broken up, I wrote: “If I am young and promising and don’t feel inferior”, after marriage it becomes: “ Your sweet smile is like Umeko-chan..."

This kind of contradictory question, even if all the philosophies of the past dynasties were to explain it, it would be difficult to give an unconvincing answer.

This is the reality from the musician's side. Faced with Bian Lang's words just now, the bands of his generation also laughed. They admitted that they couldn't compare with Bian Lang, but compared with people outside the circle, they were at least professional. As long as you keep writing, can you say that you will be the next Rolling Stone?

Didn't Bian Lang have to work hard underground for 10 years?

Looking at the fans, the number of people in the infield who can raise their hands this time is only in the single digits, and counting the number of fans in the stands, it probably doesn’t exceed 100.

This situation feels even worse than the original Earth. After all, there are still many people born in the 00s who know Wu Bai.

Even Liu Pitrous didn't have much presence here before, but of course Bian Lang is different now.

After traveling abroad for a long time, even with the title of bringing glory to the country, I still gained a lot of attention from passers-by.

What do Chinese people lack most? That is patriotism, of course the national football team does not count!
Looking at the situation at the scene, Bian Lang let out a small sigh, and then continued: "In the final analysis, it is still to blame those of us who play rock and roll for not continuing to produce good works to stimulate everyone's ears and resonate emotionally. . So I want to say one thing, brothers who are still persisting below, we are not alone. As long as the fire in our hearts is not extinguished, we will pick up the guitar and continue playing, and pick up the pen and continue writing."

After receiving a wave of support from people in the circle, Bian Lang circled the stage for a small half circle, pointed at the audience and said: "Please give us a little more time. The Rolling Stones Concert will bring Chinese rock music to the top again. Below. This new song is dedicated to all our friends who are still struggling on the road of rock and roll. I wish all of us friends who love rock and roll can continue to persevere in the new year!"

""The train sails to the sky, and the dream rests in the sky""

As soon as he said the song title, the song title appeared on the big screen with white characters on a black background.

At the same time, all the lights on the stage were dimmed, and the entire scene fell into endless darkness.

For those who had no idea before, their minds are filled with questions about this song title!
What does this half-science fiction, half-fantasy song title mean? Even those weird writers who write online articles may not be able to figure out how to write a stunning and brilliant golden chapter with such a mixed name.

Fortunately, Bian Lang didn't keep everyone waiting. After a few seconds, a palm-sized light came on on the stage, directly hitting Bian Lang's face as he returned to the microphone stand. The audience could see it through the big screen. Bian Lang stood alone on the stage.

For a moment, an inexplicable and depressing emotion began to envelope the hearts of the music fans, especially those present, who all pursed their lips and dared not speak.

Putting yourself into the role of Bian Lang, each one couldn't help but want to shiver. Even though he was in the presence of tens of thousands of people, he still felt lonely!

"It's over, Bianlang is going to start tricking our tears again!"

More than half of the people in the audience had this idea, especially those loyal fans of Bianlang.

I saw Bian Lang with a serious face and a lonely look towards the audience. Then Bian Lang's breath rubbed against the bottom of his vocal cords and the sound came out with a wave of unwillingness, like a sleepy man walking in the dark all day long. The beast roared after seeing the light again: "Black is not night, it is long loneliness..." After a cappella, the sound of drumsticks hitting each other and the sound of keyboards were added.

The lyrics correspond to the scene, and no one can escape this sense of immersion!
If it were on the original earth, there would be no need for so much visual guidance to foreshadow the emotions. The twin-tailed Shi Lu directly announced the title of the song in one voice, and the whole scene knew what to do.

But this is Aqua Blue Star. Without the help of these means, the first-round effect will be far worse.

Then Bianlang lowered his head, pointed to the dark stage under his feet and continued singing: "Look at the darkness below, look at the bright stars above..."

After singing this line, Bian Lang raised his head, and the light frame on the top of the stage began to flicker, like a star.

Faced with this situation, Feng Rengui in the background was the first to lose control. While sobbing, he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to give Bian Lang a little starlight.

She was responsible for the stage design of this scene. In order to achieve the current effect, she spent two or three times more working hours and energy than usual in Yuxi, where materials and labor were not easy to use.

During the rehearsal, she was in the most intense state of work, and her mind was filled with checking and filling in the gaps, and she had no intention of immersing herself in the atmosphere of the entire performance.

Now when it came time to finally get the results, this stage lighting effect that perfectly matched the artistic conception of the lyrics brought her entire emotion into it.

"Just this rush, it's worth staying up for a few more nights!"

Not only her, but 99% of the audience were shocked by this scene.

However, common expressions of emotion such as "awesome" did not appear in their mouths, and were replaced by two other words: "Absolutely awesome!"

When online music fans saw this scene, they also sent rainbow farts without hesitation:
"What the hell is Jue Juezi! This is called Jue Juezi!"

"I still have to be a side wave at the scene. I went abroad for a while and came back as the overlord!"

Those fans who were still joking that the Rolling Stones' concert was "cutting leeks" and might as well continue to hold a music festival now feel the most intuitive difference.

The music festival scene is certainly more exciting, but for him watching in front of the screen, this song coupled with such sound and light effects may be the most correct way for him to open it. This kind of audio-visual enjoyment may be something that even the audience at the scene cannot experience.

The people in the circle all sighed: "Compared with the Rolling Stones concert, ours is really fucking rough!"

At the same time, the dots of stars on the light pipe rack triggered several beams of cone light, illuminating the other four people on the stage.

With the addition of keyboards and cymbals, Bian Lang sang the last few lines of the pre-chorus: "Everything in the world can be hoped for, but true love is the shortest. What is lost will never come back. What is preserved in the world is now returned twice as much." …”
