Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 659 Song Request
After the new song ended, it was time for the Rolling Stones fans to have absolute control. The tens of thousands of people below the stage were certain that no matter what Bian Lang sang, they could always put together a choir of tens of thousands of people to sing along with the Rolling Stones.

Of course, the Rolling Stones did not surprise their fans too much. "Dye the Night Black", the song that ignited the feud between the Chinese rock circle and the Chinese rock scene, is undoubtedly one of the most popular songs of the Rolling Stones.

When the iconic American dry guitar sound rang out, it instantly brought music fans back to that scene.

Especially for the members of the 29 bands that participated at that time, this song was not only the beginning of everyone's unity, but also an opportunity for these bands to break out of the circle.

Even those who were doing the worst among them achieved a small interim goal with the income from that album.

So when the prelude of this song started, those who were present at that time and are also present today started to show signs of red eyes.

Time flies. Although it has been less than a year, everyone has deep feelings about what happened during this period.

As Bian Lang started singing the main song, Li Hao, a crybaby in the audience, sang along: "Open this window that has not been opened for a long time..." while shedding tears thinking about what had happened in the past year.

Their band was able to go from underground to the big stage, even to variety show stages like "Summer of the Band", and the experience of participating in the recording of "Dye the Night Black" was definitely a major turning point for their band.

Fame and income are not really important to the Joysticks. What they really gained was seeing from the Rolling Stones what a group of people who want to understand rock and roll should look like!
They don't expect that one day their band can reach the same heights as the Rolling Stones; they just want to give an account of themselves and the music they play.

As for what this explanation is, Li Hao and Bian Yuan both feel that going to the stage in a dignified manner will be an explanation even if no one recognizes it or they are scolded and forced to quit the Internet.

Compared to the madness or contempt of their fans when they were underground, they now show their talents in front of more general fans, which they think is an explanation.

As for Lao Zhao and his bandmates, they are more grateful for the changes that Bian Lang has brought to rock music. The most important thing is the change in the public's perception of Chinese rock music!
Their band has been performing all the time, but the scope and circle are very narrow, the kind that is not starving but definitely not rich. But after that, some commercial performances that would never have approached them before also began to contact them.

Originally, in their situation, they basically live on royalties, and then have a side job, such as a small business, and then transition to a retirement model.

But it was Bian Lang's performance that gave them a second spring. So, they felt they hadn't performed enough when they were young, so this time they put in all their efforts to leave themselves and their fans with a few performances that they can show off in the future.

As for Green Algae and the others, this past year has actually been a process of repeated struggle and then making choices.

At this moment, the few people who sang along with the stage: "Why does the thick ink dye the night black..." have found the courage they had when they followed the Rolling Stones to make goose eggs, and have become more certain of their vision in the field of black metal: "If they still want to continue playing, then the only ones who can protect them and help them grow well are the Rolling Stones!"

As for the outside world at this time, those who were watching the live video from the fans' perspective also saw first-hand information.

Compared to the footage of other bands, the footage from the Stones live shows nothing from the front row! The ones recorded with a telephoto lens don't have the best sound quality.

But this does not affect the output of these cloud music fans:

"I resigned on the 27th of last month, and booked a high-speed rail ticket to arrive at Hangzhou East Station on the 28th. I came here for someone before, but now for whom? For myself, hahaha. I went to interviews without stopping, and got all the jobs. Although it's not a very impressive job, it's what my heart desires. I applied to start working after May st, and I took a bag with me when I received the offer. Now I'm listening to this song in my house by the West Lake..."

"I realized that I was wrong from the beginning. Maybe I shouldn't have made some decisions. We all said that I was still young and it was okay to be a little impulsive! But I found that after being impulsive, I..."

"I used to think that it was good for a girl to be kind, until one day I saw a quote from Chanel: Only emphasizing inner qualities while ignoring outer qualities is superficial! Girls should look elegant, smell good, and feel smooth! I hope that when you are 60 years old and walking on the street, there are still little hooligans whistling at you, and then you can wave your hand and tell them: 'I am your grandmother, you little bastard.'"

"We slept less than six hours a day, used up one gel pen every two days, and drank countless cups of instant coffee. As I walked through the dark dawn towards the teaching building, I wondered if we were overdrawing our lives. But fate slapped me in the face and said, these are nothing. If you want to win, do your best in the college entrance examination!"

“A bottle of wine and a cigarette aren’t that concrete, but it’s a starting point, something that gives me the motivation to do something!”

"I'm 25 years old this year. I came from the countryside. My parents tried their best to send me to college, and then I found a job in a state-owned enterprise with a salary of more than 6000 yuan, two days off a week, etc., but... I resigned on March 03. I don't want to live a life where I can see death at a glance. I don't want to end my life as a house slave and a car slave. I'm 27 years old now, and I'm really struggling on the edge of youth. I'm going to fight, no matter what, even if I have to beg for food in the end, I'll accept it!"

There was also one from Liu Xiaokui: "Give me a bottle of wine and a bottle of cigarettes, and I'll leave right away. I'm going to become an immortal!"

If Bian Lang saw this, he would definitely add a line to his post: "Give me a bottle of wine, a cigarette, and a curl on my hair, and I'll be Yu Qian!"

However, those who watched the video complained about the poor sound recording, which prevented them from hearing more details of the accompaniment. After all, the titles of the videos were more deceptive than the others, all using exaggerated adjectives such as "god-level", "amazing", and "who else" to describe the arrangement of the song!

Liu Jiayun and Tao Xingyue’s colleagues were also among those in the circle, and of course, their people were also watching at the time.

Although she didn't hear many details, she was able to find out most of it. Facing this embarrassing plot, she didn't feel bad, but she was getting more and more confused:

"Is my choice wrong? After studying classical music for so many years, isn't it self-degradation to accompany a rock band? How can they still enjoy performing so much?"

As for the leader of the provincial delegation, he was originally going to go to the scene, but in the end he couldn't resist his daughter's nagging and gave the ticket to his little one.

Now looking at the battle reports coming back from the front, he was happy for these two people from the bottom of his heart.

The positions in the orchestra are really one-to-one. In the pursuit of the principal position, countless good talents have been wasted, and many who could have persisted have ended up either engaging in teaching and training or completely waving goodbye to this path.

Now the emergence of Rolling Stone has at least provided a new way out for others like Liu Jiayun and Tao Xingyue.

Seeing him watching the performance video several times with a big smile on his face, not wanting to put down his tablet, his wife who also watched it once asked curiously: "Lao Xu, aren't you worried that the rolling stone's hoe will dig down the foundation of your group?"

"Come on, honey, let me analyze it for you. There is only one leader in the band, and there are only so many positions that can be promoted. But it's different when they join the Rolling Stones. The fame and money are better than being in the band! I didn't stop them at the time. Now that they are famous, please come back and hold a special concert when you have time...

In the past, orchestras were considered high-class, and the threshold for ordinary people to appreciate them was a bit high! But when it is added to rock music, it is different. Who knows, it may bring us some unexpected promotional pages! "

"I say, Old Xu, it's a waste of your talent to only let you lead an orchestra..." As for the "Baima Zilong" who were together on the scene last time, only Bai Dao and Liu Ziyang were there today, while Ma Yuan and Pan Xiulong could only watch online due to work reasons.

Ma originally wanted to wait for the high-definition version of the song, but Bai Dao directly posted a live video to the group and @ed him and Pan Xiulong: "Listen to this, listen carefully, what is music arrangement! Xiulong, take a look, it should be very inspiring to you!"

If Bai Dao had not said the latter sentence specifically to Pan Xiulong, Ma Yuan would probably have just waited.

But judging from what Bai Dao said, it seemed as if he was saying, "It doesn't matter whether you, Ma Yuan, read it or not. It has nothing to do with you guys anyway!"

So his rebellious heart immediately came up, and while waiting for the flight at the airport, he took out his headphones and put them on, then took a deep breath and pressed the play button on the video.

I don’t know where Bai Dao shot this video or if he got it from someone else. The picture quality is quite touching, but the sound recording effect is surprisingly good.

He closed his eyes when the cello sounded in the first section, and when the saxophone sounded, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

After listening to a song, he really wanted to wait until he got back to the company and find a suitable opportunity to persuade the senior management to find a way to reconcile with the Rolling Stones. Others didn't know what CAA's devaluation meant, but these power veterans knew it too well.

If this opportunity were given to those young and handsome guys, the companies behind them would probably be eager to take advantage of it.

But there was no movement from the Rolling Stones!

Others may not know this, but he knows it very well. The ranking of "Fade To Black" in North America is not low. It has been in the top 10 on the Billboard charts for several weeks in a row, and its best result is only a small gap from the top three.

With this result, even if CAA really has the ability to control something, it is definitely unavoidable to win a rock-related award.

If this achievement happened to other singers, it would have been all over the hot searches long ago!

Coupled with the inside information of the Golden Melody Awards nominations, this year's Bian Lang will only become more terrifying. If "Summer of the Band" becomes popular again, it is a foregone conclusion that Goose Egg will lose a large part of its users.

If bands like the Rolling Stones continue to conquer city after city, the rock market will only grow bigger and more solid.

The key point is that Bian Lang is not a rock star, he can still write some pop songs. Take the plan of "Songs of the Past" that has been announced, for example, this is definitely aiming for the Best Album at next year's Golden Melody Awards!
If this continues every year, where will my oval face be?

For example, this year's Golden Melody Award for Best Single went to Bian Lang, so when Edan was promoting, there was no Bian Lang's music source, but other companies had it! Does Edan still have the face to fight for the position of the big brother in this industry?
Thinking of this, he sighed, turned off the video and prepared to think about the work, then he found another video popped up in the group.

This time, he didn't even wait for Bai Dao to say anything before he clicked on it. When he heard the prelude to "Dye the Night Black", he subconsciously stood up and cursed, "Fuck!"

……

After singing "Dye the Night Black", the next song naturally follows is "Sunflower". There is nothing controversial about this tradition.

After Sunflower, no one among the fans would have guessed that the Rolling Stones would actually sing Blue Lotus!
The song was first performed at Bilibili's New Year's Eve party, with an electric guitar performance, followed by the Rolling Stones' New Year's Eve concert.

Those fans who were fortunate enough to replace the audience at the scene have never forgotten the blue sequins flying all over the sky in the stadium that day!
Of course there is one tonight, but the scale is limited to this part in front of the stage!

After Bian Lang and the fans finished singing with thunderous cheers: "The blue lotus is in full bloom and never fades...", blue cannons exploded simultaneously in front of the stage and on the top of the stage. Under the embellishment of lights, this "flower rain" made all the fans in the audience crazy!
Bian Lang was thinking: "The only song missing from Sanhua is "Born Like Summer Flowers". We can perform them together at the next Rolling Stone Music Festival!"

As for "Three Wus", let's not talk about it...

After singing five songs, Bian Lang looked at the time. Not counting the encore, he could sing two more songs. "Comfortably Numb" was put at the end. He planned to leave the choice of what to sing next to the fans in the audience!
"What song do you want to hear next?"

This question also confused the fans in the audience!

If it were a live performance, some bands would indeed use this method to interact with fans if they were having fun, but this is a large-scale music festival, do they really have the final say on what fans want to hear?

"Is it possible to order songs?"

"Oh my god! For less than 200 yuan for a single-day ticket, you can also order a Rolling Stones song?"

“Is this really a music festival I can enjoy for two hundred bucks?”

Compared to these confused fans, those who are quick-witted have already started to shout: "Don't Bother Me!"

I don’t know what the fan who fired the first shot was thinking, but many people followed suit and shouted: “Don’t Bother Me!”

After all, everyone heard this song in Liangzi’s live broadcast room, and even those in the circle haven’t heard it live.

So with this call, the fans at the scene immediately reached a consensus!

Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones never expected that this song would be the one to play! It's not that they were unprepared, but it was just a little unpopular and everyone found it a little unbelievable.

However, Bian Lang did not let the fans wait any longer. He turned around to look at the band members and saw that everyone either raised their hands to indicate "OK" or acted as if nothing was wrong.

Then he turned around and said to the fans: "Okay! Then let's sing "Don't Bother Me"! Let's go..."
