Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 650 Sound Fragments
Elf was stunned at first, and after seeing what was written on the paper clearly, he said in surprise: "Silva, I know your character. I don't think you would be interested in this kind of thing."

"Well, maybe we haven't communicated enough in the past few years. But if something like this happens in the future, I hope you can let me know!"

Faced with this answer that made him rack his brains but couldn't figure out the reason, Elf asked blankly: "Okay, I will let you know next time, but do you know who Wave is?"

Hearing this question, Silva swore that if the man opposite her was not her agent for many years, she would definitely turn around and leave, and would not want to waste another word with this guy.

But thinking about her own willful behavior at work and Elf's help to her over the years, Silva simply rolled her eyes at him and began to explain: "How could I not know...

When I have no inspiration, I will also listen to a lot of foreign music. Although he showed everyone his rock side, I know he still has many different styles of music works in China..."

After saying that, she hummed a melody of "Towards the Clouds", although Elf had no idea which song it was.

But there is no doubt that this melody has nothing to do with rock, but it is a little bit similar to the style that Silva is good at.

"Okay, now that you know, do you want to give it a try? Then what are you going to do...let me contact Olaf first? Or should I get you a visa to China?"

After thinking about it, Silva finally chose the former.

Compared to her inexplicable confidence in Bian Lang, she still trusted Olaf's judgment more. Although she didn't care what the outside world thought of her, if she didn't like Bian Lang's music, there was no need to waste each other's time.

And for DGM, it is definitely not a small matter for a singer of Silva’s level to release a new song!
So when Olaf received the email, he was stunned for a full minute, and then he shouted out in ecstasy: "This is simply too good to be true. If this cooperation can be achieved, I guess those gangsters at CAA will be shocked!"

But he was in no hurry to tell Bian Lang about this. Everything would be decided after the Rolling Stones Music Festival came to a perfect end. The most urgent thing for him was to stand guard for the last time!

……

As the opening band on the last day, the members of Exodus had relatively the least pressure.

This is their second time attending the Rolling Stone Music Festival and also appearing on "Summer of the Band". Their mission this time, in addition to performing well, is to gain some popularity for the variety show that will be aired later.

When Green Algae sang in a dead voice that was in stark contrast to her image: "March to the border, March to the sea, Wander through the desert where my promise land could be...", the metal fans in the audience formed a dead wall, just like the army she commanded, taking firm steps for their common expectation.

In the flying dust, those who were not familiar with metal were all shocked by the scene!
When the performance ended and the curtain fell, Lu Zao actually said in a baby voice that was completely different from her singing style: "Please pay attention to "Summer of the Band" and pay attention to us!"

This should have been a normal voice that fits her personality, but it sounded extremely absurd to everyone's ears.

But when the news of this Summer of Music came out, most music fans' interest was focused on this matter.

There were fans who had been to the scene who were so excited that they cried for joy and pulled their friends aside and said, "See, I didn't lie to you, this really happened!" Their expressions looked like Liu Zi who was committing seppuku to count his fans.

Some of them took a long breath and shouted to the fans: "But I am dying of suffocation! I tell you, the effect of this song on the variety show is 10,000 times better than that on the live show!"

As for how this 10,000 times number was obtained, the music fan who strictly abides by the confidentiality agreement did not say much.

There's really no point in showing off now. After the show is broadcast, it will be the time for those big guys who are lucky enough to be there to show off!
Let alone the part where Bian Lang’s face was put into the naked-eye 3D show. He felt that no matter in the history of Chinese rock or variety shows, it was a T0-level existence that would be difficult for anyone to surpass!
Compared to that live performance, today's performance was a little less interesting. Of course, the atmosphere among the fans was impeccable.

Right after Exodus made the official announcement on the spot, the official account of "Summer of the Band" finally released the first program poster on several major online platforms, but apart from the images of a few super fans, there was no other information.

But this is enough to stir up a topic:
"Ah? This? This show is actually real?"

"Damn it! Last time I watched the absolute live recruitment, I thought..."

"Oh hahaha! A rock variety show, is this really a show I'll be able to see on the Internet in my lifetime?"

“I hope it won’t be overly emasculated. It’s not easy for rock music to be what it is today!”

"Thank you, Rolling Stone, for giving me a reason to turn on the TV besides watching football!"

"The guy above, is that ball you're watching serious? Which app is it?"

The first to benefit from this popularity are of course Baigou and Bilibili. After the official "Summer of the Band" released the poster, the two also released posters of their partners at the same time.

This has completely confirmed the authenticity of this variety show.

This also completely slapped the faces of the marketing accounts that had previously judged that "Summer of the Band" would not pass the review and had spoken ill of the show based on those groundless rumors.

However, they would not accept this fact so easily after receiving the money. Without any broadcast time announced, they continued to write the manuscript using all kinds of sophistry.

But they never expected that this was just a small appetizer officially announced by "Summer of the Band"!
The Little Witch has already received the job last night. After entering the venue today, she began to use the breaks in the performance to interview fans about their opinions on Hedgehog's change of lead singer.

As luck would have it, they actually caught Xia Yuxi on the snack street.

He has already reconciled with the Rolling Stones, and his condition today is obviously much better. Influenced by the Weibo post last night, he took off his mask today and only wore sunglasses and a hat, and some people could already recognize him.

Except for the very few who asked for photos and autographs, many rock fans gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother, awesome! Keep it up!" after seeing him and recognizing him.

Facing the interview with the little witch, Xia Yuxi was no longer as flamboyant as before. He was relatively restrained but still confident and said: "Although I know that Mr. Bian's position in the hearts of music fans is irreplaceable, if I am lucky enough to be selected, the lead singer of the Hedgehog Band will be the focus of my future musical development!"

I don’t know how the netizens who watch this video will feel, but I can tell that she feels this way: “This guy is serious this time!”

"Teacher Xia, I saw some netizens saying that as long as no one comes out to take over, Master Bian will have to continue to be the lead singer. If you succeed, are you ready to face the doubts of netizens?" Faced with this question, Xia Yuxi thought for a while before saying, "It would be best if Teacher Bian could continue to be the lead singer of Hedgehog, but everyone can see that it is only a matter of time before the lead singer is changed. So instead of letting those people who I can't think of to take over, I think I have the confidence to do so! But if I don't sing well, everyone can scold me..."

After the filming ended, the little witch asked anxiously, "Are you serious this time?"

"Of course, but if I were asked to take over and appear on Summer of the Band, I wouldn't dare! This variety show should only be recorded by him himself..."

“Hahaha… I wish you success. I look forward to hearing your first work after becoming the lead singer of Hedgehog!”

"Yes, definitely..."

The little witch took the opportunity of this job to interview both Liu Ziyang and Guo Sichu.

Although she is not a fan of Guo Sichu's songs, the halo of the singing queen still makes her nervous about finding a small UP host.

Fortunately, Guo Sichu knew exactly what he was going to say: "Rock music is a live art, which is a recognized fact. However, after "Summer of Music" brought rock music to the screen, it brought new changes to rock music. I will wait for you on the show with everyone!"

"Thank you Sister Chuchu, what is your biggest feeling about being a super fan this time?" After being less nervous, the little witch finally got into the mood and asked the prepared question.

“How should I put it? I think that both we and the audience had a somewhat one-sided view of rock music before. After having in-depth contact with those rock musicians this time… I think their attitude towards music is worth learning for many singers and producers!”

Although these words sound a bit official, they are indeed what she really thinks.

After all, this kind of music variety show with basically no script, which allows these bands to perform freely, has no second choice in the circle.

Although she has not participated in other music variety shows, she has heard a lot about the behind-the-scenes scenes!
But the fans at the scene can organize and control the votes themselves and vote for the hedgehog led by Bian Lang to play in the play-offs. Who in the variety show crew would dare to write such a script?

……

A few hours later, after the Joystick performance, the same promotion for Summer of the Band was also spoken.

The key point was that Li Hao was a crybaby. He couldn't hold back his tears and shed them on the spot: "I hope... I hope that all friends who like rock music will go and watch this... show..."

Maybe some people think that these tears came for no reason, but those who understand will understand, for those rock people who have gone through highs and lows, and then endured to the point where rock and roll can be on TV in such a big way, what does this variety show mean!
Looking at Li Hao on the stage, the commander and his companions on the opposite stage all said with tears in their eyes, "Fuck! Let's go to the competition like this next year!"

The rafters glanced at Kong Liang who was being pulled in to work and asked, "What do you think of me?"

Kong Liang twirled his drumsticks, hit the snare drum once and said, "Just walk! Then use this name?"

"Sound Fragments, I think this name is fine! But we still need to find a permanent bassist. Li Kai is good... Hu Zi, what do you think?"

Pan Jianhu was also pulled in to work, and when he heard the invitation, he accepted it without even thinking: "Okay, Kong Liang and I can talk about it, do you two have to move to Chuncheng so that we can rehearse?"

Neither the rafters nor the commander objected to this: "Okay, the weather is so good, we can't wait for it!"

"Teachers, get ready!"

Faced with the staff's urging, several people nodded and watched the curtain slowly rise.

The commander raised his hand to adjust his octagonal hat, then adjusted the strap of his guitar, and said to the teammates behind him: "Don't let the young people outdo you..."

The name Sound Fragments was unfamiliar to the fans of Aquamarine, so much so that when they appeared on the music festival list, no one could find any relevant information on the Internet.

The key point is that this position is behind the joystick, which doesn't seem like the treatment a pure new band should have.

With great curiosity, music fans have been waiting until now, but when the curtain opened, 90% of the fans present were stunned!

Kong Liang and the others were familiar, and Pan Jianhu wasn't a stranger either, but as for the lead singer and lead guitarist, even if these young music fans had heard of the names of Commander and Rafter, they simply couldn't match the names with the people.

However, the commander, who had expected this, then introduced himself: "Hello everyone, we are the Sound Fragments Band, and I am the lead singer, the commander..."

Before the rafter's name was even mentioned, the audience below burst into exclamations of "Wow", "Awesome" and so on.

Although they appeared at the Xibiqi Music Festival, the Commander and the Rafters were more casual at that time and did not make much of a splash.

But this time it's the Rolling Stone Music Festival, a recognized rock festival in the country, and they are appearing in the form of a complete new band, so how can it not excite music fans.

New music fans are curious about how these real veterans played back then, while old music fans are even more curious about their current status!
Listening to the screams and exclamations, and looking at the exaggerated expressions of the fans, Evelyn asked Liang Kuan, "Does this band have any special origins?"

Although Liang Kuan's explanation was not comprehensive, she still knew the general idea: "The lead singer and guitarist on the stage are among the earliest rock musicians in China. You know the drummer and keyboardist. The bassist... um..." Liang Kuan really didn't recognize this bass that was borrowed from somewhere!
Evelyn estimated the ages of the people on the stage, thought about the rock pioneers in Europe and America, and sighed in her heart: "How come China, which was so late in rock, has a monster like Bian Lang?"

This is a problem that all foreign rock practitioners and music fans cannot figure out!

Just as they were thinking about this unsolvable problem, the conductor who had just introduced the band shouted to Kong Liang without even saying the song title, "Liangzi, let's go!"

Then I heard the pure drum prelude coming from the speakers: "Dongda... Dongda Dongda... Dong... Da..."!
