Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 660: No Way for Cover Singers

Upon hearing Bielang's decision, all the musicians smiled knowingly and began to recall the music score.

It's a tough job for the three backing singers, as they haven't practiced this before, so they can only go with their own understanding. Anyway, there shouldn't be any problem with this strategy of dragging the chorus into the beat.

Only Yang Meng was a little worried. She clearly remembered that there was a dolphin sound in this song. She wondered if Bian Lang would perform it live.

If it could be done, she felt it would be an epic scene.

The fans who are particularly familiar with the Rolling Stones also have this expectation, and they have already made up their minds that when they go back home in the evening and see the new video on the website, they will definitely ask Guan Ying to come over and watch it.

Olaf and Liu Ziyang at the control console smiled at each other without saying anything, but they seemed to read something unusual in each other's eyes.

It's like saying, "I want to hear this, too!"

As for several foreign agents, they were not familiar with this song, and even Evelyn vaguely remembered the name.

"Ms. Liang, is there anything special about this next song? Why are the fans so excited?"

Facing Evelyn's question, Liang Kuan first explained the song request to several agents, then recalled the background of the song, and then said: "You will know after listening to it. After it's over, I will tell you another story!"

Hearing that there was a story, several people became more interested.

It was at this moment that the drumstick in Dayong's hand started to move!
After the rhythm of "da da, dong da, dong da, da da dong, dong da, da da dong, da da dong, da da da..." brought up the rhythm, Di Li and Strauss followed up with an overloaded and distorted electric guitar.

Now Mr. Shi has basically mastered all the repertoires of the Rolling Stones. For hard rock songs like this, Bian Lang can free his hands without any worries and focus all his energy on singing.

As for Black Panther during Dou Xian's period, these representative works basically all started with 4 sets of high notes. If you want to make them more perfect, you really need to focus more on the vocal part.

The prelude to the Rolling Stones' first hard rock song tonight sounded, once again raising the fans' collective excitement to the maximum.

Even those who have watched the live broadcast or listened to the Rolling Stones live performance in Mid-Levels that day are no exception.

After all, the venue and equipment halfway up the mountain are limited there, how can they compare with the "ammunition" of this magnitude at a music festival.

If Old Tan were here, he would definitely sigh and say, "It's incomparable. How can it be compared?"

As for Bian Lang's opening vocals, which sounded like the howl of G5, many fans couldn't help but sigh: "Fuck! This is Bian Lang really singing his best!"

When the four sets of high notes in the main song were pronounced continuously and effectively, and the people at the scene heard them, even the most picky music critics could only say: "Fuck! Only when Bian Lang sings this hard rock, it's really good!"

Xia Yuxi, upon hearing this voice, instinctively shuddered, and felt like he was back in the fear of participating in the variety show and being dominated by Bian Lang's high notes. Although it was not the same song, he, who was not a novice, had already classified this song and "Shame" in the same series.

When Bian Lang used this song to respond to Guan Ying, he felt a sense of gloating in his heart. But he didn't expect that when he heard this song at the scene, his body would instinctively feel horrified!
Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Bian Lang on the stage, and no one noticed him at all, otherwise...

After the bulldozer-like powerful prelude ended, Bian Lang dragged the microphone stand to the edge of the stage and sang angrily to the camera that was staring at him: "I don't want to say anything more to you. Now I am angry..."

The perfect sound quality of the A4's true sound was transmitted to the ears of everyone on the scene after passing through various equipment and speakers, just like a magic sound. The cameraman who was controlling the jib was so frightened by the sudden face-to-face output on the monitor that he almost caused a shooting accident.

Fortunately, Bian Lang's action was only fleeting, and he then turned his attention to the "unlucky guys" who were closest to the stage.

Although Bian Lang was not mocking them, they were still bombarded by the four sets of high notes and stared at by Bian Lang with a fierce look.

"Do your part better than others..." When hearing this kind of lyrics, everyone will subconsciously think about whether they have done something wrong...

"Is it because the new song hasn't been written yet, or is it because the performance this time was just average..."

The fans in the front row outside the isolation zone were completely different. They had no psychological burden. They just had the enthusiasm of experiencing this song live for the first time!
Especially when they sang: "This is the new China, I don't want to say more...", the fans' excitement reached its peak!

"The Rolling Stones are awesome! Bian Lang is awesome! Get all those love songs off the charts! All we need is passion!"

"Listen carefully! This is Chinese rock! How many people dare to cover this?"

"Bian Lang's voice and attitude are unprecedented and will never be surpassed by anyone in the future!"

Although the noise at the scene was chaotic, coupled with the layers of interludes that progressed continuously, these words could not get through very far.

However, these pop singers who only had a pegboard in the fan area heard it clearly. These words were not only harsh but also heartbreaking!

Songs of love and romance are indeed the choices they made to follow the mainstream market, and they do not sound as powerful as hard rock songs like Bian Lang. But it is also true as these music fans said, Bian Lang, the original singer, does not give any chance to cover songs!
The pitch is not difficult, but the timbre is not something that everyone can achieve.

Bian Lang remembered that Zhang Jie from Original Earth had covered the song. He heard his brothers teasing each other and saying that they wanted to listen to Zhang Jie's cover. He really admired that guy's courage as he turned the good Black Panther into Pang Mailang's cover!

Of course, Bian Lang felt that it was not Zhang Jie’s fault. It could only be said that Dou Xian was extremely strong when he was young!
In the golden generation when the band was just established, Black Panther had two soul figures. The talented guitarist Li Tong wrote most of the band's hits, and the unrivaled lead singer Dou Wei made that era irreplaceable with his invincible voice.

After the first album, Dou Wei left the band, announcing that Black Panther had entered the post-Dou Wei era.

After that, Dou Wei's personal fans occupied almost all the comment sections containing Black Panther. This is the reality of the original Earth! And it is also a reality that no one can change!

However, this is not the end. Later, Bian Lang played four high notes with ease, which made the male singers and lead singers feel a little desperate. The older generation, such as Commander and Zhang Ting, did have this ability when they were young, but now some of them have a hoarse voice and some lack breath. According to their own standards, it would be difficult for them to sing this song even if it was lowered by half a key.

As for Xia Yuxi and other young people, it's not that there are none of them who can sing it, but if we ignore the timbre and talk about the pitch, which is a ridiculous logic, they won't make such a boring assumption.

Therefore, those vocal singers who previously ignored Bian Lang’s singing skills and voice because his creative talent was too dazzling, now feel that the only thing they can show off is not worth mentioning in front of him!
However, it was not only Bian Lang who was crushed. The solo after the second chorus also gave the guitarists in the audience a severe lesson.

When he straightened the body of the guitar and used layer upon layer of sound waves to bring the fans to an orgasm in their heads.

The guitar players in the audience all started to curse:
"This is fucking unscientific!"

"He deserves to be the lead singer of the Rolling Stones. His hand speed and guitar quotient are not something that ordinary people can have!"

"I'm confused. Even if I play randomly, I can't have the hand speed of Di Li. He is really not a human being!"

"If any band wants to cover this song, it will be very difficult!"

"Bian Lang wrote the lyrics and composed the music, so Bian Lang's guitar skills are also..."

In fact, these are not all that bad. People may exaggerate, but as long as you are willing to spend time and energy to practice, these are all achievable.

And then the sound of Bian Lang was like the acceleration of an engine, which directly hit the dolphin sound of A5, and scared almost everyone at the scene!
Whether you have watched Liangzi's live broadcast or were present at the scene that day, the time interval is too long and I can't remember the details clearly. And as I said before, the gap in coordination and equipment at that time was not at the same level as today's scene.

Now experiencing it again at the music festival, everyone is as surprised as if they had seen an alien.

"Isn't it the norm to lower the pitch on stage? Bian Lang, why are you so honest?"

"If you keep playing like that, you'll eventually lead the rock world astray!"

"You can even sing A5, isn't it impossible for you to develop in other fields? Can you please stop bringing trouble to us rock musicians?"

It’s not that dolphin sound is unique, but who has this ability and comes here to play rock music?
But on the original Earth, if Bian Lang remembers correctly, Dou Xian should be the first non-bel canto musician in China to publicly sing dolphin sounds.

Later, some of the children's focus was very strange. Dou Xian was just a little fatter and had less hair. She took the subway alone with a schoolbag on her back, but these children criticized her. I don't know if these children really paid attention to Dou Xian's music.
So Bian Lang, like many old rock fans from the original Earth, thinks it would be great if Dou Xian could stay young forever.

Unfortunately, Dou Jingtong’s voice seems to have changed. It’s neither like her father nor her mother, and when she opens her mouth, she sounds a bit like her mother’s friend.

With the chorus of "Don't bother me, don't make me sad, I don't want to say anything more about this new China!", Bian Lang ended the performance of the song with a strange cry of G5, giving this song a relatively good explanation on Water Blue Star!
But the fans in the audience were not satisfied and started to shout: "Shame!"

But when it comes to song requests, it's enough to satisfy them once. If they were to follow the fans' wishes completely, the Rolling Stones would have to sing all night and still wouldn't be able to leave the stage.

He took a sip of water to slow down his excitement, pressed his hands down, then put Fender back on his back and put his fingers to his lips as a gesture of silence!
It’s true, this trick of his was really effective. The place with more than 5 people quieted down in less than 5 seconds!

Before the music started, An Feng and Tao Xiaoyu became excited.

An Feng jumped up and down on the spot, and it seemed that he could hardly speak clearly: "Yes... yes... yes... that Berlin one!"

Tao Xiaoyu was the same: "Berlin... the one that broke down the Berlin Wall!"

As for the foreign agents, Evelyn also said in a boastful tone: "You haven't seen this song live, right? I swear, all the Berliners in the Imperial Square that day didn't cry after listening to this song!"

This is so pretentious that even Liang Kuan, who has already joined the Rolling Stones, cannot refute it...and that kind of live effect cannot be replicated in China even if one wants to.

The Rolling Stones chose this song as the ending of their official performance, in order to fulfill the wish of domestic music fans who have never heard the live performance.

Just at this moment, a rustling electric sound came from the speakers, like the noise from an old radio, and began to echo over the music festival!

Of course, no one at the scene would think that there was something wrong with the equipment, or that the sound was caused by interference. Instead, everyone pricked up their ears, waiting to enjoy what song it was.

Even if someone has guessed it, they will now come up with a clever trick and ruin the mood of the song.

Then there were knocks on the door and some other ambient sounds. These sampled sounds were re-sampled and produced by Olaf according to Bian Lang's requirements. Although they are slightly different from those in Berlin, the texture is closer to that era.

Then, Tan Ying from the chorus group asked in a deep male voice: "And you know?"

Then Li Linqing imitated a timid female voice and replied in a very soft voice: "We needn't trick!"

There were not as many performance segments as in Berlin. Bian Lang just put his hands to his ears as if listening. Combined with the close-ups on the big screens on both sides, fans noticed that this was a live performance by two of the chorus singers.

Just like in Berlin, the ingenious stage design gave the music fans a great shock. It’s not like they haven’t seen this kind of thing before, but those were probably musicals in theaters or could only be seen at some large-scale evening parties!

They didn't expect that this kind of performance would appear on the stage of a rock music festival!

But despite the shock, everyone still resisted the urge to cheer and waited with bated breath for Bian Lang's next performance.

Bian Lang shrugged his shoulders and sang the first line of the song with three chorus singers in his magnetic voice: "Is there anyone outside?"
