Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 491 "One night in Beijing"

After this voice-opening line kicked off the performance like a spring thunder, Dayong was the first to enter the performance state, "dong dong da...dong da dong da dong dong da..." The drum beat was embellished with ride cymbals. After that, it gives people the feeling of hearing dragon and lion dances on the streets during Chinese New Years and festivals.

In fact, Huang Kai also moved, but according to what Yang Guanlei said in the audience: "Is the four-stringed one fake playing? Why can't I hear any sound?"

Lao Deng, who was working, laughed when he heard this: "The bassist himself said it's okay, but you said be careful and you'll get beaten up by the bassists!"

This is true, black bassists are always the most ruthless themselves, but they will get angry with anyone who tells them something, especially those guys who tricked them into entering the bass pit back then.

At this time, Guo Sichu on the stage was not wearing a pair of vests, nor was he wearing a helmet, crest, and dancing feathers. But when he stood there dressed in plain white, with a sharp figure and a work frame, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this person had definitely been trained.

"I don't want to think about whether you can come back... I'm thinking about your heart, I'm thinking about your face, I want to hold it in my chest, and I won't let it go until I can..."

After singing this part, some people in the small private room were complimenting, and some were regretting:
"It seems that Miss Chu has not lost her old skills. Boss Liu, you are so lucky!"

"It's a pity. If Miss Chu had stayed in the industry, maybe..."

"Don't be so sad, everyone. Chu Chuyou still remembers us today. This is the best. Listen to the music carefully and see how they perform in the rock style..." After Boss Liu said this, no one spoke in the small private room. .

"Hahahaha, the hidden attributes have been developed, I think Queen Chu should just turn around and roll the stone!"

"Thank you, Master Bian! We fans just hope that you can swing the whip more frequently so that we can see Queen Chu doing business more often!"

“There must be elements of Peking Opera, and there must be a sense of urban life…”

The few people in the private room naturally imagined the theater in the transition period of the last century from the old to the new in their minds. They were still apprentices at that time and looked at the colorful scenes. This was their lifelong pursuit.

"Well...if you guys find out, what's the deal with us rock fans?"

Director Liu Yi and Lao Zheng of BJ TV, as soon as they heard the background sound, the song's performance on stage began to appear in their minds at the same frequency.

"No, I just want to ask, are we, Queen Chu, so hopeless? Even if we are a guest performer, we need to promote it beforehand!"

"Hey, let's not talk about the Peking Opera elements here. What would you do if Guo Sichu followed?"

Looking back now, I see that some of them did become adults, but it is hard to see the days when the garden was full of joy again.

These rock fans at the scene were motivated by watching the Rolling Stones and returned to hard rock. Their bodies began to automatically enter the crazy mode without being controlled by their brains.

In the live broadcast room of Xiaopo Station, the sudden influx of a large number of Guo Sichu fans not only shocked the people in the technical department of Xiaopo Station, but their various non-vegetarian remarks also shocked the people in the original live broadcast room. Rock fans were a little confused:
"No matter how to develop the Queen of Chu, it must be Bianlang!"

It was the first time for a group of people in the small private room to listen to this accompaniment. Although it was far from their traditional opera style, the reaction of the music fans in the audience made these people, who were not particularly conservative, begin to think about more possibilities of fusion. .

Director Liu Yi broke into a cold sweat when he heard this: "Guo Sichu, do we have enough budget?"

"As long as she is willing to come, you don't need to worry about the budget."

"Old Zheng, I haven't finished listening to this yet, so why are you sure it's this one?"

"That's right, why didn't we get any news before? Is it because we can't afford the tickets?"

While netizens were bickering in the live broadcast room of Xiaopo Station, the prelude of this song officially kicked off.

The horse neighing, camel bells, and pigeon whistles that are in the same vein as "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" are mixed together, as well as the somewhat chaotic and noisy, and intermittent sounds of people in the market, which also immediately stimulate the potential sense of pictures in people's minds. out.

"Is the liquidated damages too high? Let's raise a crowd to free Chu Chu!"

As soon as Lao Zheng finished speaking, he heard a sound coming from the speaker: "Qiu Dang Dang Dang!" The gong sounded, and then Li Li and Strauss walked to the front of the stage, one on the left and one on the right, and squatted down to steady themselves. After playing the game, the overdriven sound started to sweep everyone in the room.

"I asked Chen Shuting why she asked us to wait and decide. With this song, "Fenghuo Yangzhou Road" is really not that suitable. The next step is up to you, Director Liu."

As for the insiders at the scene, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully, fearing to miss any detail of the song's arrangement.

After a cycle of 4 bars, the gong sounded again, and then Bian Lang sang: "One Night in BJ, I left a lot of love, whether you love it or not, it is all the dust of history..."

This song can be regarded as the KTV song of the original earth, but the versions on the market are all versions by the Xin Band. The classic version by Chen S and Liu Jiahui has been cut into the soil with a knife.

As a senior musician, Bian Lang can say very responsibly that Chen S's broken gong voice truly conveys the vicissitudes of thousands of years of history, and complements Liu Jiahui's Peking Opera singing!

The lyrics are either desolate, sad, or graceful, and have endless charm like wandering around for three days. There is a vague feeling that there is a story behind it, but it is difficult to explain clearly at the moment.

From a purely artistic perspective, he felt that this version was much higher than the one he believed in.

"One Night in BJ, I left behind a lot of feelings. I didn't dare to ask for directions at midnight for fear of walking deep into the flowers..."

Who knows the birth of this song best, it is of course the group of people who followed Bian Lang into the alleyway deep in the flowers after getting drunk.

It includes Dayong, Huang Kai, Pan Jianhu, etc. This story has long been spread by Huang Kai in the company. And many people have heard of the version produced by Bian Lang himself, and they think there is nothing wrong with it, so why do they just leave it there without uploading it.

But after listening to Bianlang's live performance today and comparing it with the previous version, I felt that there was indeed something different. How should I put it, the feelings are different. That version of the technique can be said to be 9 points full, but it sounds like it's a little too full.

As for why this scene has more feeling, some people think it is because of Guo Sichu.

But in fact, only Bian Lang himself knows how much love he left in BJ in his previous life, coupled with the homesickness he feels when thinking about the original earth at this moment. All these emotions are mixed together, making tonight's singing sound particularly touching. .

When the next sentence came, Guo Sichu took two steps on the stage and walked to Bian Lang's right hand side.

After the two gongs of the accompaniment, while Bian Lang started to sing, Guo Sichu raised his red lips and sang together with him: "People say that in the field of flowers, old lovers live everywhere, sewing embroidered shoes... The old man with a serene face, Still waiting for that, those who went out to fight...return..."

Guo Sichu's voice is bright and crisp, and his opera singing and enunciation are not the kind of quality that can be achieved by falsetto imitating opera singing.

Bian Lang's breath was suppressed by himself and rubbed against the bottom of his vocal cords. The extremely grainy texture was like a rock, providing the best support for Guo Sichu's fairy voice floating in the sky.

The two people's voices together give people the impression that "when the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless people in the world."

Even Bian Lang's girlfriend Dong Youbian had to admit that Guo Sichu was Bian Lang's perfect partner in the collaboration of this song.

As for Guo Sichu, she treated the song's creation process as having something to do with herself to bring emotion into it. Anyway, the first time the two met was in the alleyway deep in the flowers. Whether there is mercy or not can only be judged by the parties themselves.

Liang Kuan was sitting with Chen Shuting and Dong You tonight. She looked at the man and woman on the stage who were immersed in the performance, and then looked at Dong's right. She sighed in her heart: "This little girl How come you are so lucky!"

Looking back at the netizens on the Xiaopo website who were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, they all felt like they had discovered a huge secret when they thought of those photos of Guo Sichu in the alleyway deep in the flowers last year:

"During the variety show, Empress Chu just sang a random verse. I didn't pay attention to it. Now that I listen carefully, this...the lyrics are so difficult to comment on!"

"Yeah, it's hard to calm down!"

"It's not that Dong Da is not good, but I always feel that Empress Chu and Bian Lang should be the pair who have achieved perfection!"

A rock fan who only insisted on singing during the song couldn't help but say before turning off the barrage: "It's none of your business!"

"One Night in BJ, don't drink too much. Whether you love it or not, it's all the dust of history..."

"One Night in BJ, I left behind a lot of love, the man who drinks and sings loudly is the wolf tribe in the north..."

After two more lines of Bianlang's own solo, Luo Lin's girlfriend covered her forehead and sighed: "Oh my god, these little words are so well written, and this singing is so unrestrained, if it had been written more than ten or twenty years ago, Mom, I went up in one quick step. You said those little girls in the group were shouting louder than anyone else before they came. It was such a good opportunity yesterday, so..."

"Just brag, and you don't even look at who's standing on top. If that person is a loser, then your whole group together won't stand a chance!"

Luo Lin's words were baseless, but Chao Mi thought they made sense. However, she replied without caring: "There is a saying that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as being unable to steal..." You can’t tell what it is, right, Lao Luo..."

When Lao Luo said the last sentence, his charming eyes were as silky as silk, which made Luo Lin panic all of a sudden.

Fortunately, Guo and Bian's chorus brought their attention back to the music itself: "People say that the wolves in the north will stand outside the city gate when the cold wind blows... wearing rusty iron clothes, Calling for the city gate to be opened, with tears in my eyes..."

The imagery of this passage is so strong that after finishing the sentence, the heaviness of thousands of years of history will hit your head.

The audience may not be able to perfectly match this scene with a certain historical event in their minds, but they firmly believe that in the five thousand years of Chinese history, such a scene has never happened more than once!
After finishing singing, Bian Lang turned slightly to one side, and with the Fender's rocker, he let out a "horse cry", kicking off the interlude.

This time, he did not use the keyboard-based interlude in Chen S's version, nor the Chinese-style interlude based on the erhu in the Xin Orchestra version, but combined the electric guitar and erhu in "Between Fingers" The timbres of the mutually competing section were re-arranged in the interlude.

With this "horse cry", Dili and Bianlang came together back to back, one person swept the rhythm, and the other started to hook the strings on the backbeat of the drum accent, giving up the position of the lead voice to Strauss.

Strauss also walked behind Guo Sichuan, and began to vibrato and add notes back to back. As for Guo Sichuan, he followed the atmosphere and played the air guitar on the stage.

After the vibrato was changed to the distorted sound, the tone could indeed be similar to that of the erhu. The opera people in the small private room were all amazed: "Boss Liu, those guitarists from the Rolling Stones, you said they still have imitations of the erhu." Doesn’t the sound of the instrument come out?”

Boss Liu originally wanted to say: "The drums may not be able to be imitated!" But the people's "Ma Ming" was so vivid that he didn't dare to use his inherent knowledge to look at the abilities of these guitarists. But in order not to lose any face in front of outsiders, I just came up with a sentence: "If I sing a part, they probably won't be able to play it!"

In the disdainful eyes of everyone, Boss Liu saw that Strauss, a blond foreigner, was so devoted to playing rock music combined with opera. He felt that this was the real cultural export!

In fact, Olaf, who is guarding the construction of the recording studio in Spring City, is the biggest foreign fan of this style!
Although he was not able to be there, he and his wife were deeply intoxicated by listening to this interlude in the live broadcast with a tube amplifier.

Now that the overseas release of "Tang Dynasty" has begun to penetrate from the Chinese-speaking circle to the English-speaking circle, once this more popular song is re-recorded and released online, Olaf believes that it will become the basis for a new branch of rock music!
After Dayong added some extra words, Bian Lang returned to the microphone stand and sang: "Woo... I have been waiting for a thousand years, why is the city gate still not open..."

The voice is like a low roar, and just like the atmosphere created by the previous lyrics, it clearly and truly conveys the thoughts of the lonely ghost who cannot return home.

When Bian Lang listened to this sentence repeatedly in his previous life, he wondered if Chen S had used all his talents and luck in writing this song.

Considering his identity and current situation at the time, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the most outstanding work of his life, but it is a pity...

Then "Sword Horse Dan" Guo Sichu used his strength again and pushed back his long hair that had become a pile of wild grass. He leaned back and pointed at Bianlang with one finger and sang: "Ugh... I have been waiting for a thousand years, why doesn't my beloved come back... …”

The voice was full of tears and complaints, just like the old woman in this story who was waiting for her husband who was guarding the border to return. Although there was sadness, it was more determined to keep waiting!
