Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 455 The Spring Festival is coming
With the popularity of variety shows, the songs featured in them have become popular.

Although the scenes of "Toward the Cloud" will not be exposed until later programs, the sparks from the initial collision of the creative duo of Bian Lang and Guo Sichu are so powerful.

This song is not a classic. The main reason is that it perfectly showcases Guo Sichu's voice. Coupled with the not-so-complex melody and healing lyrics, it spread quickly.

Guan Ying, who had already come out of the hospital at this time, looked at the ranking list where her new song was not even visible in the 10th place, feeling filled with hatred and regret.

What I hate is that it took less than a day for her new song to enter the top three of the new song chart for her old rival who was already a close match, but her new song can't even be seen behind her taillights.

What I regret is that I promised Ma Yuan to release a new song on New Year's Day. If I follow the original rhythm and follow the entire album in the second half of the year, even if the results are not ideal, there will be an excuse.

However, this song released on the first day of the new year has fallen out of the ranking that should have belonged to her diva status in just one week. If it comes to the end of the year, it will not be taken out and carefully arranged.

The one I hate even more is of course Bian Lang!
Pop can't beat rock and roll. This is embarrassing enough in the current music scene. People write a pop song and it kills them every minute.

Although Guo Sichu's fame is added to this, they are all in the industry, and you can tell whether the song is good or not as soon as you listen to it.

This song is not amazing, but in today’s music world, which relies on the fusion of various electronic raps to achieve half the sky in terms of traffic, this kind of heartfelt song can indeed be regarded as a rare good work.

"You, Teacher Mao, wouldn't you notice? Why do you keep telling us not to talk about copyright first? Apart from some personal thoughts, no one can say whether there is someone else guiding us behind our back!"

Originally, the director's intention was to just go to the side and just explain the direction, so why bother.

Looking at the frowning chief director, the assistant thought of a way and said: "Director Ha, we can't just leave it like this. Doesn't Director Qian have a relationship with the Rolling Stones? Let him mention the copyright issue first, then let's just talk about it. We have our own adaptation ideas that suit us..."

"Director Ha, how about we ask Dian Province to report "Good Luck Comes"?"

But how did they know that Bianlang's song was originally a heavy metal song modified from Huantianxidi and Guotai Ming'an. It would be easy for him to change it back, but it would be difficult for others to do the reverse. Their preconceptions made them think that they had to change the main theme first, and the more they changed, the more unpleasant it became.

But there are always some people who don't think so. They subjectively think that Bian Lang is a rock player and it is impossible to change this song into a happy and Guotai Ming'an style, so they want to try it themselves and wait for the finished product to come out. When you go to find someone to buy the copyright, it’s best to be courteous and sage.

In the CCTV Spring Festival Gala of Aqua Blue Star, the color is still red and the ingredients are still professional, but the artistic aesthetic of the director team is still online, and the face is still required, so...

Half a day later, Bian Lang received a call from Dong Shuxian.

But this time, the producer surnamed Mao didn't know whether he was advised by an expert or something, but he actually chose "Good Luck Comes" for adaptation. If you adapt a song that is not very well-known, you can tolerate it if the quality is mediocre. But for a song like "Good Luck Comes" with a wide audience base, if it is not done well, the audience will point at it and scold it.

The assistant was also lost in thought. At this moment, someone just sent over the program list selected by various provincial stations. Director Ha Wu was not in the mood to read it for the time being, so he asked the assistant to go through it first.

It's the Spring Festival Gala. It's the Spring Festival Gala. No matter how powerful you are, as long as you can't go to the Spring Festival Gala, you're still a head above me!
While Guan Ying was making such calculations, the Spring Festival Gala director team encountered a thorny issue, that is, the adaptation of "Good Luck" has never yielded satisfactory results.

The key is that this song cannot be cancelled, it was decided directly from above. As for why it is this song, it is said that the boss who made the decision bought lottery tickets after listening to this song. After 20 years of hard work, he finally paid off and made a small profit, so...

Speaking of which, the assistant watched "Red Sun" again, and based on her understanding of Bian Lang's background, she came up with another way: "If that doesn't work, let the Guangdong Provincial Newspaper report it. Bian Lang has a good relationship with the Xinghai Conservatory of Music. Guangdong Province The second choice is also a song by Bian Lang..."

When he saw that the program published in the Guangdong Provincial Newspaper was "Red Sun", the assistant felt that he should find a way to help the director solve the problem.

Hearing this, Guan Ying felt better.

……

"Don't think about it, let's just pretend this never happened. From now on, they will take their single-plank bridge, and we will take our sunshine path. In a few days, there will be a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala. When the news of the Spring Festival Gala comes out, you continue to remain silent. If we make more public comments, we can still save some face."

Needless to say the specific operation, Ha Wu felt that this seemed to be possible, but when he took the list from his assistant, he shook his head and said: "This year's theme of Yunnan Province is in line with the national unity, and it is also a large-scale song and dance. What a shame, it would have been much easier if it was just singing!”

"Okay, you can do this! Let the Guangdong Province choose and submit the drafts, so that Teacher Mao can't find any faults..."

As for the person who took over the adaptation, he happened to have a good background. He was one of those with great qualifications but mediocre abilities. His name is always mentioned in CCTV's various large-scale galas every year, but few viewers pay attention.

She didn't regret that she had turned against Bian Lang due to various factors, but she felt very unhappy when she saw Guo Sichu's renewed interest in Bian Lang.

Comrade Lao Dong: "CCTV has taken a fancy to your "Good Luck", but it wants to change it to a version that is more suitable for the Spring Festival Gala. If you are interested, you can try out a version and use the Guangdong Province's selection quota..."

Listening to Comrade Lao Dong's words, which were very serious and without much ups and downs in his tone, Bian Lang guessed that there must be someone around him, and it was difficult to inform him of some situations that he knew or guessed. And this tone is basically telling Bian Lang: "Boy, the water is deep here, do what you can!"

If it were another song, Bian Lang might have spent some time thinking about the pit that might be buried behind it. But "Good Luck" is a song that was born to be prepared for festivals. Bian Lang felt that the water behind this matter could be as deep as the Mariana Trench, and he could force his way through it!

"Teacher Dong, I remember that there was a coloratura soprano named Li Linqing in your school who changed this song, right?"

After being asked that question, Dong Shuxian understood something and said: "Well, it's just that in my opinion, that work is not up to the level of the Spring Festival Gala."

"Well, indeed! Then I will make it clear that I will give the new arrangement to Teacher Dong within today. If there is no more suitable candidate, I think it will be just fine to let this teacher Li sing. There is no royalties or anything like that. I think Xinghai can lend this teacher to our Rolling Stone Music School as a vocal teacher..."

Dong Shuxian originally wanted Bian Lang to find it troublesome and not to get involved in this muddy water. Although he didn't know about the incident involving Mao, someone from the provincial station had told him about the unconventional behavior of the Spring Festival Gala director team. , then he feels there is something wrong with it.

Of course, the provincial TV station wants to try its best to promote this matter. If this matter comes to pass, it will not only make CCTV owe a favor, but also draw closer relations with Bian Lang. They are now planning to invite Bian Lang to come to the Spring Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area. If this is facilitated, many things will become easier to talk about.

So it appeared that they came directly to Xinghai and discussed the matter through the special relationship between Comrade Lao Dong and Bian Lang. Dong Shuxian saw that there were no mistakes in Bian Lang's plan and there were no problems with the selection, so he replied: "Okay, then I will first thank you on behalf of the school and the provincial station..."

The people from the province and Taiwan who received the answer were relieved at this time. They just waited to see the results given by Bian Lang.

At the same time, Ruan Ping's version of "Sword Like a Dream" was finally mixed by Liu Ziyang.

Listening to the final version, Jiang Zhuzhi was lost for a while, and then he said with unfinished meaning: "Bian Lang, I really don't know how to evaluate you. Before, I thought that your request for the singer might have no basis in your heart. Fantasy, now that I hear this version sung by Mr. Ruan, I’m convinced!”

In the past few days, Jiang Zhuzhi, in addition to recording the pipa lead vocals of "Little Knife Club Overture" with Bian Lang, was also "seduced" by Bian Lang to play some serious rock music on pipa, which was even more impressive for Bian Lang. There was quite a lot of interest.

She has had some contact with some rock players, and she feels that Bian Lang is different from other rock players in terms of musical literacy and mentality.

The rock people he had come into contact with in the past were like a child who longed for recognition but was unwilling to communicate too much with the outside world. He only indulged in his own music world. If someone criticizes me, the method used to fight back is very simple, just say: "If you don't understand, don't come here to pretend to be X!"

But Bianlang is completely different here. Folk music, classical, pop, and folk music all cross over, and surprisingly there is no resistance from the rock circle. On the contrary, the bands are supporting Bianlang more and more. This is really incredible. .

"Teacher Jiang, can you say this in front of the media?" Being criticized like this by Bianlang, the atmosphere at the scene became much more relaxed. Otherwise, this kind of useless compliment would probably continue for a while.

Jiang Zhuzhi is also not afraid of joking, and immediately answered: "No problem, when I send this song to the Spring Festival Gala, if it can be selected, when there are reporters after the show is broadcast, I will follow this explain!"

After saying this, Jiang Zhuzhi continued to say to several people: "If I am really chosen, then Miss Tang and Mr. Ruan may have to go to the Spring Festival Gala with me."

As soon as he said this, Olaf, who now knew only a little about listening to music in Chinese, asked very puzzledly: "Ms. Jiang, I don't understand. Aren't you going to bring the Rolling Stones with you?"

Everyone present in the Chinese circle knows that unless the Rolling Stones are willing to accept fake performances, there will be almost zero people attending the Spring Festival Gala.

"Olav, when you truly become a China expert, you will understand this problem."

On this issue, Bian Lang didn't want to explain too much because it was meaningless.

The special nature of the Spring Festival Gala stage determines that he is not suitable for rock performances that focus on live atmosphere. He is very satisfied if his works can be on the Spring Festival Gala. But he himself has no obsession with being an "actor" on that stage, whether in his past life or this life.

Since the concepts are different, just let artists who are willing to accept that format go.

"Okay, Wave..."

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to talk about this, Olaf did not continue to ask further. He changed the subject and asked another matter: "When do you plan to release "One Night in Beijing"?"

The reason why I ask this is because Guo Sichu sang a part on a variety show, but the Rolling Stones did not release the studio version, which caused dissatisfaction among many music fans.

"It's not the right time yet. I want to find a suitable opportunity to perform live first and then release this song! The Rolling Stones have released a lot of new songs this month. If they release it again, the fans may be tired of it and let them There’s still some hope, isn’t it?”

The answer Bian Lang said is only one of the reasons. Another reason is that the Spring Festival will be here in a month. After this wave of collective appearances on New Year's Day, more satellite TV stations have a more comprehensive understanding of the strength of Rolling Stone Music.

More satellite TV stations have begun to send invitations to Rolling Stone Music for their respective Spring Festival Galas. Even though Rolling Stone is destined to miss the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, if there are local stations that are willing to give them a live performance in the Spring Festival Gala, Rolling Stone will not refuse.

According to the Rolling Stones' consistent rhythm of releasing new songs, they still have to keep some songs as backup.

"One Night in Beijing", a pop rock that is super popular on the original earth, deserves a more suitable big stage for its debut.

Hearing this explanation, Olaf nodded and said: "Well, if you have an idea, that's fine. How about we predict which song from our Rolling Stones Music will eventually top the new song chart by the end of the month?"

As soon as this topic came up, everyone present became excited.

Others are usually thinking about whether their song can win the top spot, but when it comes to Rolling Stone, they are actually discussing which song can win the top spot?

"This is your Rolling Stones Music. If it were placed in another company, I would probably be laughed to death if I said this!"

After Jiang Zhuzhi, an outsider, spoke up, another outsider, Ruan Ping, also spoke out his thoughts: "If it is my own musical aesthetic, I hope it will be "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty"! But if we talk about its popularity, I think it should be "The Fear in My Heart"!

Faced with this answer, Bian Lang was not surprised.

The album "Tang Dynasty" is indeed excellent, but its Achilles' heel is obviously that it's difficult to sing!
Whether it's "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" or "The Internationale," it has to be sung to the original tune to have that flavor.

Therefore, the popularity is naturally much worse than Pu Shu's "The Fear in My Heart". As for those English songs, let alone that. The language determines that it is impossible for Chinese songs to become popular in China.

Listening to everyone talking, Jiang Zhuzhi asked curiously: "Bian Lang, which song do you like the most?"

After thinking for a while, Bian Lang said carefully: "It should be "Elopement" that will be released next week!"

No one among the dozen or so people present expected that Bian Lang would actually tell this answer. After all, in order to cooperate with the broadcast of the variety show, "Elopement" will be launched in the middle of the month, which will take half a month less than the current batch.

Bian Lang can be so sure. How much confidence does he have to say such unbelievable words?
