Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 664: Universal Youth Hostel

Most of the rock people who have been here for three days did not fight for long in Nan Feiyan's food camp. Those who were tired or not familiar with the place said goodbye to Bian Lang and went back to sleep before 12 o'clock.

The rest are either people like Li Hao who love drinking, or they have something to say to Bian Lang tonight.

For example, Liu Chuang had to fly to Shanghai tomorrow morning for other work. Although the song was already a done deal, he still wanted to talk to Bian Lang. It would be great if he could get a song like "Spring City" for the poets of Mayuan.

Not many people came to drink with Bian Lang tonight, because many people were targeting the old guns in Sound Fragments.

Bian Lang also knew what Liu Chuang meant. After they clinked glasses, he said, "After Sister Kuan and you settled the matter, I also found some time to listen to your previous works. I feel that A4 should be your biggest comfort zone, right?"

Liu Chuang certainly knew what Bian Lang meant by this. After thinking it over, he answered truthfully: "Well, I'm OK with B4 with less dense articulation, but not so good with the bass."

"I have an idea. Let me look at the range of female singers. I'll contact you when I have an idea."

Liu Chuang was already very satisfied after waiting for Bian Lang to say this, but who would have thought that Bian Lang would ask another question: "By the way, if you could choose, which female singer would you like to be released with you?"

Although there was no indication that the male singer's song would have any connection with the female singer's, Bian Lang's question still made Liu Chuang and you curious: "Why do you ask that? Are you planning to sing a duet for us?"

Bian Lang has never thought about this!

In his opinion, among all the classic chorus songs, the one he remembers most is "Tie Xue Dan Xin". How could such a BUG-level OST be produced without encountering a big IP like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Just as he was thinking this, Olaf came over yawning.

Seeing that there were still empty seats next to Bian Lang and his friends, he walked over and said, "Wave, hurry up and order me some rice noodles! I'm starving!"

"Where is Zi Yang? Why hasn't he come yet?" Bian Lang asked about Liu Zi Yang's whereabouts while waving to the waiter.

"He met an old acquaintance on the way..."

"Let me introduce you to Liu Chuang, the male singer who will release the song "Song of the Past" next month... Olaf..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Chuang quickly extended his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Olaf. I've heard a lot about you!"

After Liu Chuang said this, he realized that this was a foreign friend. When he was about to switch to some loose English to continue the conversation, he heard Olaf reply in loose Mandarin: "Liu Chuang, I'm sorry!"

Bie Lang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But Olaf didn't care, and continued speaking in broken Mandarin: "Oh, by the way, Wave, speaking of the album, there is a great female singer at DGM who is interested in collaborating on our album. Do you have any English songs that would be suitable?"

"Huh? Who?" Bian Lang and Liu Chuang asked in unison.

"I don't know if you've heard of her name, her name is Silva!"

As soon as Olaf mentioned the name, Liu Chuang instinctively asked in surprise, "Is it the female singer known as the Pearl of Scandinavia?"

"Yes, it seems that Liu Xiong knows her..." After ignoring the bewildered Bian Lang, Olaf continued: "If we can cooperate with her, maybe more singers under DGM will cooperate with us in the future!"

There was no need to know more. Bian Lang could already judge this man's fame and strength from their conversation.

Liu Chuang was not a newbie, and the person who surprised him must be famous. And Olaf, who had his own pursuit of music, could directly recommend it to him, so his strength must be beyond doubt.

And this is the true strength of Chinese people after they remove the filter they have for European and American singers!

"If I can arrange my time well, it would be great to catch up with the recording with Liu Chuang!" Bian Lang said this, then opened his phone to search for the works of this female singer.

Seeing Bian Lang's actions, Olaf handed him his phone and said, "Don't bother, just use mine."

Bian Lang took the phone, took out his earphones, plugged them in, and then pressed the play button.

After listening to just two sentences, Bian Lang found a counterpart among the European and American female singers from the original Earth, that is Celine Dion.

Although he was still listening to the song, his thoughts had already drifted to "The Ship". However, a killer like "My Heart Will Go On" and "The Ship" complement each other. Without such an epic disaster love movie, it would be a waste to use a song like "My Heart Will Go On".

With a helpless smile, he returned the phone to Olaf and said, "I roughly understand. What do you think of Silva's voice?"

When asked about his major, Olaf tilted his head and thought for a while as if recalling a memory, then said: "Silva's alto voice is of perfect quality. I personally think that among the female singers who can still perform on stage in Europe, she has the best alto voice. She perfectly interprets the word noble! As for the high notes, her skills can make up for some deficiencies, but the quality of the alto voice is completely different!"

Since nothing was said about the bass range, according to Bian Lang's understanding, it means being just like everyone else.

This is quite suitable for Liu Chuang. After all, the mezzo-soprano is similar to Liu Chuang's A4 in some ways.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang remembered the question Liu Chuang had just asked.

"It's not impossible to sing in chorus, and it should be a mixture of Chinese and English!"

Bian Lang, who already had an idea in mind, patted Liu Chuang on the shoulder and said, "Come back as soon as you finish your work over there. By then, the editing should be ready!"

Hearing this promise, Liu Chuang almost wanted to say, "How about I postpone that job and we go into the studio tomorrow?"

But thinking that Bian Lang still had to make some arrangements, he finally suppressed his excitement and nodded, "Okay!"

On the contrary, Olaf didn't ask any questions. He picked up the rice noodles and started eating them with relish.

Liu Chuang also stood up and said goodbye at this time. He was going to discuss with his agent how to finish the rest of the work so that he could have plenty of time to record songs here.

Judging from the situation just now, he felt that there was a chance to release a song with Silva. Even if there was no cooperation, it was not an opportunity that other domestic first-line male singers could have!
Less than a minute after he left, Zhu Wei, who was looking for an opportunity, came over.

Before she could speak, Bian Lang smiled and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"I've made up my mind! I'll stay!" With just six simple words, Bian Lang could tell the girl's determination!

"Welcome to join Rolling Stone!" Bian Lang smiled and picked up his glass. He clinked glasses with Zhu Wei before continuing, "You can discuss the details with Sister Chen yourself."

Seeing this, Olaf, who was drawing rice noodles, also stood up and said, "Welcome to the Rolling Stones. Congratulations on gaining another good musician!"

Olaf also recognized Zhu Wei's skills and talents, and for the current Rolling Stones, the more good musicians the better. Judging from the speed at which Bian Lang was working, he might be able to form another band on the spur of the moment!
If there are not enough musicians, they really can't withstand the turmoil of Bian Lang.

Zhu Wei looked like the kind of person who was very I once she got off the stage. After thanking Olaf, she didn't know what to say. She was even still considering whether to leave or stay here for a while.

At this time, several people who had gone out for a circle with Rolling Stone came back. Seeing Zhu Wei here, the senior Huang Kai asked her to sit down and chat.

Dayong, who was obviously drunk, asked Bian Lang: "Lang, the year is almost halfway through, whether it's a tour or an album, you should give us a definite answer!"

Bian Lang had thought about this a long time ago. This year, the Rolling Stones will definitely release another album and then start a tour.

I just haven’t figured out how to make an album…

But after singing "100,000 Hippies" today, he made up his mind: "Record the album first, and then start touring after the album is recorded!"

Unexpectedly, Bian Lang's answer today was so crisp that Dayong sobered up a little. He looked at Bian Lang with hope and said, "Lang, are you going to release a Cantonese album?"

Before Bian Lang could even speak, Hua Yan spoke up: "Brother Yong, why don't you name an English album?"

"I agree!" Olaf no longer cared about his image. He swallowed the rice noodles in his mouth and raised his hand to agree.

"Okay, stop arguing! Just listen to what Bian Lang has to say. It's like you guys wrote the songs in the album!" Di Li laughed and scolded, which was considered to have silenced everyone. He also wanted to know what the style of the new album would be.

To be selfish, he really hopes to follow Hua Yan's advice and write a whole "Comfortably Numb" album!

Bian Lang did not keep the audience in suspense and revealed the answer directly: "Just follow the style of 100,000 Hippies and try to finish it before the end of the year!"

After hearing this, everyone didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

When Huang Kai was leaving the stage just now, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked Bian Lang: "Bian Lang, what do you think of this version tonight?"

Bian Lang’s original words at the time were: “There’s nothing wrong with it live, but if we have to record it in the studio, it’ll be about 7%!”

Everyone could see from the rehearsal that Bian Lang's requirements for this song were somewhat different from other songs, and he was a bit too picky in some places. However, the Rolling Stones, who only followed Bian Lang's lead, would not say anything. Bian Lang was not the kind of person who made trouble, and they believed that Bian Lang's nitpicking was absolutely reasonable.

However, if they knew that this album was said to have taken ten years to produce on the original Earth, Dayong and the others would probably take it more seriously than Bian Lang!

The highest praise Bian Lang has ever heard for this album is: "Wan Qing Band is the most successful cultural export of the mainland, absolutely no one else." This was said by a Taiwanese musician...

The first person to react was Hua Yan: "Lun Zi, come here! You have a big job this time!"

Lunzi, who was being bullied by her sisters at Mumian's table, was as happy as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw when he heard this: "Where is it? What big job? Who are you recording with?"

As soon as Lunzi finished speaking, Huang Kai's voice came: "Then can Xiao Tao and Xiao Liu also be used?"

Dayong was a little disappointed, but when he heard that it was the song "One Hundred Thousand Hippies", he had nothing to complain about.

Bian Lang had already put the Cantonese songs he liked in his music library, so it was just a matter of time before he could record them. As for "100,000 Hippies", he hadn't seen any other songs in his music library that matched the style of this song.

This means that Bian Lang is going to write an album in this style. This sense of anticipation is much more challenging than his Cantonese album, which is a bit more thoughtful.

And judging from the feedback from outside today, this album will definitely be good!

Thinking of this, Dayong asked awkwardly, "How many songs, have you thought of a name for the album?"

"'Universal Youth Hostel', as for the songs, just wait and see, write as many as you want!"

The reason why Bian Lang didn't give everyone a definite answer was that he didn't want to put too much pressure on everyone. Now everyone in the team is responsible for two bands, and Bian Lang didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense.

Although his reputation as the king of hoop rolling is indisputable, his work is not as hard as others think.

At least for now, he doesn't have much pressure when it comes to moving songs!
The noise here was carried by the evening breeze to the agent's desk. Chen Shuting, who already knew part of the plan in advance, stood up and walked over and said, "It's good that it's settled, but everyone won't have a rest for the next month. June is the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, and "Summer of the Band" will continue recording, so everyone needs to plan their schedules carefully!"

When they heard the word Golden Melody Awards, the eyes of everyone who was still awake at the scene lit up.

Rock music has been basically immune to winning awards in recent years. The last time a rock music artist won an award was by Liu Yao four years ago.

Of course, those people in the rock circle didn’t recognize it at that time!
If we exclude Liu Yao, who was expelled from the rock music club earlier, the last time a rock song won an award was 10 years ago.

The band that won the award at that time has now disbanded, but there was a member of the band present, namely Kong Liang.

"Tell us, what's the situation with this award?" The commander took the lead, and the others also stood up and came over.

Chen Shuting didn't hide anything and said directly: "The single is "Shameless", and the album is "Tang Dynasty". If nothing unexpected happens, we can have a celebration drink next month!"

Hearing this, Dayonghe whistled first, and then started to make a noise: "Damn, I never thought that Dayong would win an award in this life!"

"Look how happy you are. This award is for Bian Lang. What does it have to do with you, Chen Shaoyong!" Whenever Dayong spoke, Huang Kai would always pour cold water on him.

But Chen Shuting's next words brought another big surprise to everyone: "It is said that this time the Golden Melody Awards plan to add an award for the best band of the year. The days of rock music will get better and better in the future!"
