Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 655: Coming Back

The fans who were still confused before suddenly showed ecstasy on their faces:

"Fuck! For the Rolling Stones, just believe them without thinking!"

“Hahaha, after all the lyrical stuff, hard rock is still going to save us!”

"It feels good now. You are worthy of being the Rolling Stones. We never have to worry about you!"

Although I am saying this now, if I encounter this situation again in the future, the result will probably be exactly the same!
But when Yang Meng’s voice changed, the whole audience exclaimed again: “After all the ups and downs, I laughed at my own appearance, shed blood and tears in my hometown, and my wandering was soaked in pain… After all the joys and sorrows, I couldn’t find a way to escape, I looked at the warm paradise from afar, and heard a voice saying…”

That solid chest instantly lifted Yang Meng's voice from the level of a singing general to the first tier of rock singers.

If Qi Meng's agent was here, he would probably be able to swallow his fist in one bite.

"Hey! Xiao Meng is a very cunning girl. She was only half as imposing as she was during the rehearsal, right?"

Dayong didn't even check the drum strings. He put the drumsticks on his hips and howled along with Yang Meng's voice: "Come back..."

With this voice, even the most dull person could feel the emotion that could not be suppressed in Yang Meng's singing.

For her, the phrase "Come back..." encompasses everything she wanted to say since she entered the rock music circle.

Without her knowing it, a girl in the crowd burst into tears while laughing.

She is the bassist of the Qimeng band who didn’t come with them!

The word "come back", sung by coloratura singer Li Linqing and some musicians in the audience, really struck a ton of blow in the hearts of music fans.

So much so that the impossible situation of "lip-syncing" still lingers in the minds of many music fans.

But for this bassist, those first few lines were the real catalyst for her tear glands to break down.

The three girls came together to form a band in pursuit of their rock dream, but after signing with the company, it was full of ups and downs and joys and sorrows!

At this moment, Yang Meng and Ding Ding swore their return to loyalty to rock on the stage, but she stood among the fans and laughed at her current appearance!
The four words "Come back..." not only ignited the fire in the hearts of music fans, but also surprised the foreign managers so much that they didn't know how to express themselves.

As for Pan Jianhu, he was even more surprised by Yang Meng's growth!

When he first signed the contract, he thought that this girl might have to wait for a year or two, and only after she had been fed enough by Bian Lang, would she produce some work that would stand out from the crowd. But now it seems that the time has come for her to do so.

As long as Bian Lang can give them some support in terms of the number of works, there will be no problem at all in pulling them out to do a small live tour.

As for Bian Lang, what he was thinking about was lamenting Luo Qi from the original Earth.

Although this song is Compass's earliest work, he feels that this song is like a boomerang.

I wonder if Luo Qi, who sang this song again many years later, would feel that she sang the song too early. It was like a prophecy, perfectly describing her entire life experiences later in life!

Especially the main song after the short interlude: "Illuminate the night with my tears and wash away the confusion of the soul... Use all my life, all my dreams to burn this moment of glory... The moonlight is hazy and tempting... Shaking... No longer lost and no longer changing... I... want the sun..."

Although the time and space have changed, and the singer has also changed, but at this moment, Bian Lang only feels that Yang Meng is the reborn Luo Qi, the Luo Qi with healthy eyes, who is building his future with dreams.

Instead of using those regrets to burn her brilliance!
Driven by the passionate rhythm, Yang Meng let go of the guitar with both hands, took the microphone off the mic stand, walked to the front of the stage, stepped on the foldback with one foot, stretched out one hand to make a one-handed hug gesture and continued to sing:
"Why can't the world last forever? Is there only madness ahead? I drift with regret. I always see strength growing. Why don't I embrace hope? Let my lonely eyes be starlight, turn my heart into heaven, and call out to myself forever..."

“Come back… come back…”

With the support of all the female musicians of Compass, the audience erupted in earth-shaking shouts: "Come back..."

"I'm really convinced! Just tell me, there is no one who can eat for free under Bian Lang!"

After the commander said this, he looked at Pan Jianhu beside him.

Lao Pan doesn't think so. People have to rely on themselves. There are also bands like those in the old Nanyin that Bian Lang can't help. But as long as there are bands like Jin Ma, Liang Zi, and Yang Meng, it goes without saying that they are all classic examples of Jin brought up by Bian Lang.

"Yes, if you guys hadn't pulled me back, I would have become the one who eats for free!"

After this joke, Yang Meng shouted, "Solo... Strauss!" after a G5 finished singing all the songs.

Then Strauss, like the Lion King, became the focus of the stage!

Listening to her distorted solo, even the rafters couldn't help but praise her: "This girl is probably unrivaled among domestic female guitarists!"

The leaders of Sound Fragments had no objection to this conclusion, but they were concerned about another question: "If the scope is expanded to include all guitarists in the country, where do you think this girl would rank?"

This question stumped Yuanzi: "How can we explain this? How can we compare? Get a bunch of people together, play the same piece and let them judge it?"

As soon as he said this, Kong Liang immediately retorted: "Come on, just forget it. You guys who are playing cotton wool have at least 80,000 if not 100,000. When will this end?"

The commander nodded and said, "Even if they are recognized as the best ones, it's not easy to pull them up!"

A few people just treated it as a casual chat, but Pan Jianhu took it very seriously and took it to heart.

Although rock music has shown a slight upward trend in China, there is no other way for rock music fans to regain their glory except to band together. Therefore, it is necessary to organize more such gimmicky and practical activities.

As for those who don’t want to stand up, it doesn’t matter to Lao Pan.

In the past, if he wanted to organize such an event, he would have to beg and plead with everyone to win over people, but now there is no need for that.

As long as the Rolling Stones give the call, both people and sponsors will be available at their beck and call.

After the interlude lasted about ten seconds, Yang Meng, who was in unprecedented form, once again led the audience in singing "Come Back..." A long time ago, for these girls, being in an all-female rock band was still a dream, but today their dream has truly come true.

In a sense, all this is thanks to Bian Lang!

After another exciting interlude, Yang Meng sang again: "Flowing in my hometown with blood and tears, I found the direction to escape, looking at my paradise from afar, I heard who was speaking... Floating with repentance, I saw strength growing, my heart became a paradise, always calling me..."

After repeating this part once more, the fans who were ready sang the last part of the song together with all the girls of Compass: “Come back…”

Even though Dove’s teammates play jazz, they will give sincere praise to really good music!

"It seems that our Dafu has encountered a masterpiece this time!"

"I think we should start thinking about finding another saxophone player when we get back!"

"It's a great idea to have a rock band made up entirely of girls. It's rare to see one in our area. I hope they can go further with their music!"

In fact, when Compass was first formed, people both inside and outside the circle were quite pessimistic about this all-female rock band.

Some people even joked that female rock bands are actually a product of form over substance. They can attract attention, but actually playing is another matter.

Especially since Compass only showed up once at the Rolling Stones' New Year's Eve concert and then basically disappeared, while the other musicians in the band all have fixed positions in other bands, which makes people not optimistic about them.

But today, the extraordinary performance of lead singer Yang Meng and the entire band made everyone realize that this band is no joke.

After the song "Come Back" ended, Yang Meng shed tears on the stage again amid the fans' cheers that grew louder than the last.

There is no need for anyone to persuade me about this, after all, this is something to be happy about!
Ding Ding's eyes were a little red, but she didn't cry in the end.

The bassist of the Qimeng band standing in the audience was already crying like a tearful man.

She definitely regrets it, but if she had the chance to do it again, she would probably still choose to stay. This might be the irreversible part of her character.

So these tears were shed out of joy for Yang Meng and the others.

Although Yang Meng and Ding Ding will never know in this life, in order to watch the performance of Compass, she spent a night at the airport after the performance last night, and took a plane, Didi, and electric scooter to catch it this morning. But she thinks it is really worth it!

She is now too ashamed to even speak out her own rock dream, but seeing her two former teammates fulfill their dream, she consoled herself in her heart, "They also helped me to achieve my share!"

When the music started again, it was "No Escape"...

After finishing all the preparations, Bian Lang and his friends were already sitting in the front of the stage to watch the performance.

When Bian Lang went to the bathroom, he looked at his phone and found that Lao Pan had sent him a message about a guitar playing competition.

He was quite interested in this, and when he returned to the stage he mentioned this matter to Di Li.

Although he was not particularly clear about the seating arrangement of the Chinese guitarists from Blue Water Star, Bian Lang felt that there was nothing wrong with Dili making it into the top 10. Thinking about the five acoustic guitars in "California Guest House", Bian Lang felt that this matter really needed to be taken seriously.

At present, even if the Rolling Stones count themselves and pull up the rafters, they are still missing one top player. If they use the last position in California as a gimmick, maybe they can really bring out a few top players.

This kind of thing doesn't need any big publicity, and there's no need to go viral. Just gather those who are interested in the circle, play with it yourself, and then cut a full video and post it on the website...

After listening to what Bian Lang said, Di Li sneered: "If the score of "California" is thrown out, to exaggerate, those who are half buried in the ground will jump up to fight for it. But this is a good thing. If the manufacturers are united, it will give more hope to those enthusiasts! Come up with a rule for this matter, and I'll be responsible for it!"

"You don't need to go. The school is almost ready. You, Strauss, have to go and teach!"

"Why don't you go yourself?" Upon hearing this, Di Li was still a little excited.

"My skills are not as good as yours!"

Seeing that Bian Lang directly used the trump card of admitting defeat, Di Li was completely helpless.

After Compass finished singing "I'm Looking Forward to It", fans slowly began to move towards the Rolling Stones stage.

The girls of Compass didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. After all, if the Rolling Stones were behind them, then any band from China would probably be in the same situation now!
Those in the quarantine area are not in a hurry at all. Anyway, when the time comes, they will only be one line further away from the security.

But the guys from the media and the photographers and videographers have basically already started jogging over.

Compared to the last Rolling Stones Music Festival, more than half a year has passed, and everyone is looking forward to what kind of surprises the current Rolling Stones will bring to music fans.

After all, nowadays, the big names in the Rolling Stones are all playing the trumpet very well, but the trumpet is basically not making any splash. We have waited so long for this, how can we not give a big performance to the fans?

And at this moment, the number of music fans in the Shanhaijian area is far more than the 50,000 people in the inner field!

The playground next door, the wetland park, the balcony windows above the second floor of the community, the sidewalk outside...

A pilot named Xiao Wu from the camera team used a drone to explore the area and then sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I feel like there are 100 million people around here now!"

The friend next to him also glanced at the screen. Seeing that the several-kilometer-long main road had been turned into a parking lot, he said in frustration: "So I won't be able to get home until tomorrow morning after work tonight?"

"Why don't you just finish the work in the car? It's annoying to be stuck in traffic anyway. Don't worry, the logistics of Rolling Stone are guaranteed. Even if you go out late at night, there will definitely be food at Nanfeiyan!"

Speaking of food, the more far-sighted merchants did prepare a lot more ingredients tonight.

But looking at the number of people inside and outside, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "How long will this business last?"

As for Nan Feiyan, the head of the group, Luo Suping, was present today. She said she was here to watch Bian Lang's performance, but she was still thinking about coming to the booth to help out when it was over. Others could go first, but Nan Feiyan would definitely ensure the logistics until the end!
