Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 691 Do you know the meaning of daydreaming?

Bian Lang's domineering words were exactly the same as Liang Kuan's, making everyone present think, "Good fellow!"

If someone else said this, they might just ignore it or look down on it, and there would be no possibility of believing it at all.

But if the person who said that was Bian Lang, no one present thought it was wrong. Think about the "Songs of the Past" that is currently in the works. No one can say how many awards this album will win next year.

There is also the Rolling Stones’ first album “Tang Dynasty”, and you can’t say what kind of monsters will come out of those songs! And the previous “Rice Shop”… and so on and so forth…

If these songs were normally released in a certain year, it would definitely be a sign of the prosperity of the Chinese music scene. However, the author of these songs is all one person. This ability to monopolize an era is exciting for music fans, but not necessarily for industry insiders.

But for the rock community, that's definitely a good thing.

Seeing that everyone was still very excited, Chen Shuting quietly pulled Bian Lang and pulled him out of the rehearsal room.

"Dong Youbian was nominated for the Best Female Singer. I have asked her and she will not come back to receive the award. I will ask Teacher Dong to go to the scene on her behalf."

Hearing this, Bian Lang's heart skipped a beat, but his expression did not change: "Let her do what she wants. You can take care of the rest."

"Okay, then I'll go inform New Pants and the others. They probably don't know about it yet, just like you. This guy Shanyang is so unlucky. Just for this one experience of running as a runner-up, the cost of the commercial performance will have to go up a lot!"

Bian Lang nodded, looked at Chen Shuting's back as she left, waved his hand to put Dong Youbian's matter behind him, smiled and walked into the rehearsal room to have fun with everyone.

Everyone in the rock circle who saw this list was extremely happy.

In addition to the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang, they also saw the hope for the future of rock music. Even if Bian Lang can represent an era, they must follow Bian Lang's pace and become an indispensable part of this era.

The term "the first year of rock and roll" is obviously inappropriate here, but many people later called this year the first year of rock and roll in the Chinese music scene.

……

Those rumors that popped up online about the Rolling Stones and the organizing committee colluding to engage in shady dealings were just hyped up for a while, and before they caused much of a stir, no one paid any attention to them anymore.

That night, Liu Yao flew to Spring City and found a Simao restaurant to host a banquet for all the members of the Rolling Stones.

Because of her attitude, Dayong and Huang Kai didn't insult her at the table. In fact, it was all a joke. After all, the song was sold by Bian Lang, and Liu Yao didn't say that she was the original singer. But the final result was just like that. Liu Yao was really kind enough to do that.

"Let's not talk about who will win the award in the end. I just want to ask you, if we sing "Shame" together at the award ceremony, would you be willing? Not with a backing band, but with Bian Lang and I as the lead singer!"

As soon as Liu Yao said this, everyone came to their senses. Everyone was thinking, "This is actually not bad. If we sing "Shame" with Liu Yao, we will have more choices!"

Bian Lang also understood what Liu Yao meant, that is, if "Shame" won the award, she, Liu Yao, would definitely not abandon Bian Lang.

Liu Yao herself knows how much of a role she played in the song's success. Her fame in the early stages did create some favorable conditions for the song to quickly become popular, but if the song was just average, it would not have been possible for the song to continue to be popular in the later stages.

Moreover, it was Bian Lang's version that became popular together with hers, which shows that the quality of the work itself is the key to the success of this song.

Bian Lang was not in a hurry to agree. It was not the first time they had worked together at an awards ceremony. In his opinion, some things did not need to be so deliberate.

After taking a sip of beer, he asked with interest, "Sister Yao, does the organizing committee want you to sing this?"

“Well, that’s what they rap about!”

"Do you have a list of other people's performances?" Bian Lang asked without expecting Liu Yao to really give him an answer, but Liu Yao actually did.

"I sent it to you, take a look!"

After saying that, Liu Yao sent the invitation list to Bian Lang. After taking a look at it, Bian Langzhe compared it with the list of people to be invited and felt that something was wrong.

"Sister Yao, this is our first nomination. I don't know if this is a rule. How come other than our two families and a female singer, the other invited performers are not on the candidate list?"

Liu Yao didn't notice it before Bian Lang said it. After Bian Lang said that, she looked carefully and discovered the problem.

At first she didn't understand, but after going through all the performing guests in her mind and realizing that they were all talented singers, she smiled and drank a sip of her wine, then said with a strange smile, "It's because they're afraid of you. If those three idol singers really let them perform live and share the stage with you, will the Golden Melody Awards still have face?"

As soon as Liu Yao said this, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

"Oh my god! Is this possible? Then the fans of these idol singers will be furious." Dayong added after laughing.

"That's just going to make trouble with the organizer. What does it have to do with us? But then again, the organizer did the right thing! They should have done that a long time ago. These idol singers don't know how to sing without the tuner. Let them and the audience see what real strength is." Huang Kai said while eating stir-fried chicken.

What Huang Kai said does make sense. After the idol economy began to become a weapon for making money in the entertainment industry, people in the industry are actually quite confused about how real and valuable the professional level is.

Relying on a million-dollar tuner to win the Golden Melody Award, and relying entirely on lip syncing for concerts, if this kind of thing is not controlled to a certain extent, then the Chinese music market may only become more sluggish!
So, while the Golden Melody Awards seems to be an attempt to cover up the scandal, it may be that they want to reset the tone for the future market?

"I thought the organizing committee was boycotted by some entertainment companies, and they had no choice but to do that." Bian Lang had heard Liang Kuan and Chen Shuting talk about this before, so he mentioned it when he remembered it.

Liu Yao nodded and said, "It is true, but it is just talk. Do you think those idols can be like you and show up at the Grammy Awards? The only award they can really show off to their fans is the Golden Melody Award in China. Sometimes they are too lazy to get on those fake charts abroad that can be entered with money!
Besides, you are going to the Grammy Awards now, and their fans will probably be happy to see you and them on the nomination list, right?"

Liu Yao's analysis does make some sense. Following her line of thought, Dayong thought of a possibility: "Leather pants are right..." As soon as he said this, Liu Yao glared at him.

Dayong paused, showing an awkward smile and nodded at Liu Yao. After a pause, he continued, "Do you think you will end up being a sedan bearer after you finish your work?"

Dayong had just finished speaking when Huang Kai asked directly: "Do they dare?" "Indeed there is such a possibility, but the possibility is too low. Given the current popularity of the Rolling Stones, those judges can't go too far. Bian Lang is not a newcomer who just debuted. The Rolling Stones are already popular now. They can't treat you like a newcomer..."

As we drank and chatted, time went by almost three hours in a flash.

Finally, they were all drunk. Standing at the door of the hotel, Liu Yao, supported by his assistant, said to Bian Lang in a drunken state: "Thank you, Bian Lang. If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to win this award again in my life. In the next 3 years... no 5 years... 10 years, the Golden Melody Awards will all belong to you, Bian Lang, and the Rolling Stones!"

This statement is not unfamiliar, but when it comes from an outsider like Liu Yao, who has his own works and national popularity, the value of it is even more different.

The assistant glanced at Bian Lang, smiled and said in a low voice: "Teacher Bian, Sister Yao is drunk."

Bian Lang was not very drunk. He waved his hand and asked her to take Liu Yao back to the hotel to sleep.

……

In order to prepare for Hatter's guest performance, Bian Lang was once again stuck in the dilemma of choosing songs!

Since he is in China, there is no language barrier, but if he wants to write a new song, English songs are more suitable. There are too few classics released by foreign bands now, and he wants to sing if there is such an opportunity.

But the sea of ​​songs in Bian Lang's mind has become his happy trouble at this moment!

Sitting on the balcony, enjoying the summer night breeze, Bian Lang couldn't think of any suitable English song, but instead played the guitar and sang Wu Bai's song: "The summer night breeze blows you in my arms, your hair is fluffy..."

After taking a look at the balcony where he was alone, Bian Lang put his guitar on the lazy sofa on the other side and returned to his workshop to finish Eddie Van Halen's song.

He has been working on this matter on and off, and has not given himself a deadline. But now that the Golden Melody Awards ceremony has come, Bian Lang wants to make his debut on such a special stage.

So these few days, after coming back at night, Bian Lang would work overtime.

It was impossible for Bian Lang to remember the details of the classic black, white and red paintwork, so he could only roughly restore it according to his memory and the original owner's artistic skills.

As for the electrical components, it was not a big problem for him.

After all, this guitar has changed the design concept of guitars in the future. All guitarists who like to tinker with instruments know about it. It's just that the symbolic meaning of the guitar in the original Earth prevented those guitar masters from rubbing their own guitars. After all, buying a replica guitar is more about nostalgia.

But it’s different on the Blue Water Planet.

Bian Lang is designing and building a homemade guitar for himself, which is a new symbol, so the meaning of what he rubs out with his hands is completely different.

Once immersed in this, time seems to have lost its original timing function.

Bian Lang worked on it until the next morning before he realized that he had been working all night... He got up and stretched, looking at the guitar body that had been painted almost to perfection. Bian Lang couldn't wait to install the pickups and other components and start playing "Jump" right away.

“I get up, and nothing gets me down.”

Although there was no accompaniment, Bian Lang still sang that line.

Just with this sentence, Bian Lang rushed into the piano room as if he had been enlightened, and took advantage of the moment when his memory was gushing out to quickly write down the song.

"It's settled, we'll sing this then!"

After writing the lyrics and music, he started working on the band's score.

Before the band's scheduled rehearsal time of 10 a.m., the score was sent to the Rolling Stones group.

Then he sent a voice message to Dili: "Practice first. I finished editing "JUMP" all night last night. When Hatter performs, he will sing this new song. I will catch up on my sleep and come back in the afternoon."

Di Li had just walked out of the elevator while eating a steamed bun, and was still "complaining" that there were not enough steamed buns in Yunnan Province and he was not full.

When he clicked on Bian Lang's voice message and heard this song, he trotted into the rehearsal room and compared the melody in his memory with the score given by Bian Lang one by one.

Dayong, who came in later, was also looking at the music score. Seeing Dili's excitement, he knew that this song might have a story behind it: "Dili, what's going on?"

"It's nothing serious. When we were testing guitars at BJFender earlier, Bian Lang played this part. He dealt with it when we asked him to. He stayed up all night last night to come up with the arrangement. He said he would sing it for Hatter when he was the guest this time."

By noon, the group had gotten some form of rehearsal going, so they asked Strauss, whose native language was English, to temporarily become the lead singer. They all performed the whole song together, and by chance, Bob, who was also rehearsing at the Rolling Stones, passed by and saw it.

Bob did not consider himself an outsider. When he saw that it was Strauss who was the lead singer, he quietly opened the door and walked into the rehearsal room out of curiosity.

As a result, he was immediately drawn into the rhythm and riff of "JUMP". Although it was just a simple major triad, the combination of strong rhythm and the mute rhythm of the right hand made the rhythm and rhythm blend perfectly together.

Bob couldn't help but be surprised. EVH's style can be said to have directly influenced the heavy, hard rock, glam metal and other styles of the entire 80s.

After everyone finished rehearsing, Bob eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Strauss, what is this new song?"

"It's prepared for your first show on tour!"

Bob misunderstood what was said and said a little embarrassedly: "Then just give us the score directly, and don't bother you to demonstrate it to us."

"Bob, it's daytime now. There's an idiom in China called daydreaming. Do you know what it means?"

It wasn't a big deal for those who weren't good at English, but Dili and Huayan burst out laughing on the spot!
