Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 698 Opening

As the opening time approached, Green Algae and Exodus also received the notice to prepare to go on stage, but the first one to go up was the host.

This person was no stranger to the BJ people and people in the circle present. He was Wang Yunfei’s uncle Gong Qian.

At first, Bian Lang and his friends thought about inviting an old DJ from a music station, but later Pan Jianhu suggested Gong Qian. Everyone thought that this person had good connections in the circle, was also a rock fan, and had a wide audience. He would definitely have no problem with his eloquence, so they tried to ask him.

When Gong Qian heard about this, of course he was willing to come.

Although they are not familiar with Hatter, these older generation rock fans are still obsessed with supporting the development of the rock industry.

Today he didn't wear the gown he wore for his crosstalk performances, but a punk outfit. As soon as he came on stage and even before he opened his mouth, the fans in the audience started laughing, and the applause was as enthusiastic as that of the main performer.

"I'd like to say hello to everyone first, thank you for your applause! But I, Gong Qian, am not the star today, so I'd like to introduce to you our warm-up band that will be on stage soon. Let me tell you, this band is not simple just by listening to its name. The pronunciation of Exodus has me buzzing all night..."

Even the Exodus people in the backstage couldn't help laughing. The nervousness of going on stage was immediately reduced. When Gong Qian called out their names again, they came out to even more enthusiastic cheers than before.

The handsome guy who had taken a photo with Green Algae outside before started shouting first: "Green Algae! Awesome! Exodus, awesome!" The standard pronunciation of the word "awesome" amazed many Chinese people around him.

Before the Panama group came, they knew only a little about Chinese bands other than the Rolling Stones. They immediately asked Silva, "Is this band famous in China? Exodus is a good name!"

As a super fan of "Summer of the Band", Silva not only listened to their performance live, but also later asked the program team for the previous Exodus video to watch, and he spoke highly of them.

"This is one of the few black metal bands in China. I believe you will like them too. Elf is now trying to get their agency contract in Europe!"

In the first half of the sentence, Yiwo treated it as a commercial compliment, but in the second half he couldn't control himself.

If you want to talk about how much music appreciation Elf has, that's not really certain. But if you want to talk about Elf's sense of smell, that is absolutely beyond doubt, otherwise he would not be Silva's only agent since he entered the industry.

"Oh! That's really something to look forward to!"

As for those fans who didn't know this band, they also began to look forward to their performances after being recommended by others.

There were also people in the VIP area, many of whom were from the pop music circle who came through Liang Kuan's connections, who were even more surprised. According to their understanding, even if it was to pave the way for the bands under the Rolling Stones, they should be bands that already had a certain degree of fame, such as Ma Yuan and Ershou.

What was the point of this music that they had never heard of? Some people even went directly to Xia Yuxi, who had already mixed into the rock circle, to ask for information.

Xia Yuxi didn't want to pay attention to these people at first. After all, after he made the decision to join the Rolling Stones as the lead singer, many of his former acquaintances in the circle became passers-by, and some even pointed fingers and criticized him behind his back.

But thinking of the amazing performance of Exodus, which was much more awesome than these people, he said sarcastically: "Can we really let you warm up for them? This is metal music!"

It has to be said that Xia Yuxi, who has shed his idol image, can be quite sharp-tongued. He has easily made all the pop singers lose their temper.

The one who spoke just now didn't know how to respond. Of course he would be tempted to warm up for Hatter, but he would never do it. After all, Hatter's reputation in China is much worse than his.

But he felt that he would never be able to catch up with his international reputation. He really didn't understand key metals, let alone understand them.

"It's so damn unlucky. People say that rock music players are marginalized people in society. Xia Yuxi has only been in there for a few days, and he has been assimilated into this. I guess this Exodus thing is just the result of their circle's self-entertainment!"

He just thought about it and didn't dare to say it out loud in such an occasion. It would be a big deal if he was beaten up by a bunch of rock musicians.

Just as he was thinking that, he heard the green algae on the stage say: "We are Exodus! Thank you Hatter and the Rolling Stones for giving us this opportunity. I hope more and more people will pay attention to and like rock music, especially metal..."

As soon as she finished speaking, it seemed that the green algae with a super smoky makeup on her face instantly turned into a different person. She lifted up her gorgeous black death-style skirt and started shaking her head to the rhythm of the drums.

Seeing this scene clearly through the screens on both sides, the pop singer's heartbeat instantly accelerated. For some reason, he wished that the thing under Green Algae's boots could be replaced by himself!
Meanwhile, the metalheads at the front had already started forming a human wall.

He has already brought the atmosphere to this point before he even opens his mouth. There are very few people at the scene who are dissatisfied. Those who are dissatisfied are just sour grapes.

Liu Xiaokui, who has become familiar with Guo Changxiong and others, is also very excited now. In the past, his idol image would have made him hold back some of his impulses. But now that he has played badly, he finds that his fans seem to have gotten used to it and often make fun of him. It feels like they have become closer, so he has no scruples anymore.

Now, they were hanging out with Guo Changxiong and the others, shaking their heads, and Jin Zi's girls were not very comfortable with it. After all, there were no rock girls among them. They all paid attention to rock music because of Bian Lang. Many of them were even attending such a rock concert for the first time, and they were not comfortable with the fact that there were no seats in the backstage. However, seeing the madness of most people at the scene, the little devil in their hearts began to stir again...

Finally, the little witch squeezed over from somewhere, and after confirming the identities of this group of gold, she led them to have fun: "Don't refuse, after this time you will be completely inseparable!"

When Green Algae's old-school Florida black voice came out of the speakers, those who had never seen Exodus' performance were dumbfounded. Even if they were given the most powerful brain in the world, they could never imagine that this voice like a demon from hell actually came from the mouth of a girl!

So much so that a pop singer here subconsciously blurted out: "Is this fake? Lip-synching?"

Fortunately, his voice was not loud, and the people around him were all from the pop circle, so he only received a circle of contemptuous looks from those around him. If the rock people of the Rolling Stones heard it, they would probably ask this friend to leave.

Yiwo was also quite surprised at this moment. He had thought this band was interesting just by listening to the rhythm and riffs, and now he was completely conquered by Green Algae's voice!

"I can't believe it. No wonder Elf is so optimistic about their performance in Europe. They really should go abroad!"

The first song is an original song by Exodus, which is just an appetizer.

When the second song, "My Exodus", written and composed by Bian Lang, came out, every foreigner present instantly went into a frenzy. Yiwo opened his eyes wide and looked at the stage in disbelief. Before this, even if he had 100 guts, he would not have dared to think that this was a work by a Chinese musician.

He couldn't imagine that the momentum of the lyrics and the unique arrangement style of Celtic folk music could come from a musician outside of Northern Europe. He was now thinking about whether to call his band's manager from the island country...

As for Elf, after he was stabilized by an original song by Exodus, he no longer cared about the stage, but looked around to see the reactions of the fans, especially those who were not Chinese.

The result was, of course, the same as he expected. Most of the foreign music fans started to go crazy under the shock of the huge surprise.

"Luckily it's Hatter! If it was another band, I don't think they would be able to control the situation when the show officially starts!"

As for those pop singers who have never seen the world, none of them want to talk now. Some of them are using the same crazy behavior as the fans to cover up the complicated emotions in their hearts.

The one who just asked Xia Yuxi about that, now not only felt embarrassed, but also wanted to slap himself twice.

How good would it be if I hadn't said that at that time?

Although he didn't say anything excessive, everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

It can be said that none of the pop singers on the scene can match Green Algae's performance. Some people who don't have much knowledge of music can't even imagine how this sound should be produced.

Originally, they wanted to give Liang Kuan face and take advantage of the popularity of an international band. But they never expected to be shocked by a warm-up band!
The producers in the industry now admire Bian Lang to the utmost. Not to mention the lyrics and composition of this song, Bian Lang's vision in selecting people is still so impeccable that no one can find any fault with it.

They all wondered why these amazing voices had never appeared in their field of vision?
Ma Yuan, who no longer needed to hide his identity, shook his head as he watched: "So many good talents have been encountered by Bian Lang!"

Liang Kuan looked at the various expressions on the faces of the people invited this time, and she felt sad. After this, no one would look down on the newly established label Moyan anymore.

When Green Algae bowed, she was so excited that she could hardly speak clearly, watching the crazy fans in the audience. She didn't know that Elf no longer had any concerns about Exodus' overseas audience.

Hearing the sound of Gong Qian chatting with the audience on stage again about Hatter, Green Algae and the others felt that this was a little bit unreal.

Seeing them coming down, a few Hatters who were preparing to go on stage high-fived them one by one to encourage them.

Feimos even said in an exaggerated tone: "I'm a little worried that I won't be able to keep up with the good atmosphere you guys have created!"

Then, the whole team needed to work overtime. He patted Green Algae on the shoulder and said, "Good job, keep it up!"

The continuous recognition from the big guys made her a little bit proud. But when she saw Bian Lang, Lu Zao immediately calmed down.

Everyone in the band knows very well that without Bian Lang’s support, it would be difficult for them to be where they are today.

Lu Zao led the team members to trot over and bowed to Bian Lang to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Lang. Without you, our band would have disbanded!"

"It's okay. The fact that you have been able to persist in playing black metal in China for so long is the result of your own efforts. I just gave you a push. By the way, let me tell you something. The company is already discussing your overseas agency contract with DGM. If everything goes well, we will arrange for you to perform at overseas music festivals this year."

"what!"

The news came a little suddenly. Several people looked at each other in surprise, and then burst into cheers. Led by Green Algae, several people rushed forward and hugged Bian Lang directly.

At this moment, on the stage, Feimos, with his hands still wrapped in gauze, was greeting everyone with the few Chinese words he had learned.

"Thank you...you! I love China..."

The following is what Di Li helped translate: "Last year we participated in the Rolling Stone Music Festival. It was our first time to set foot on Chinese soil. Before that, our knowledge of China was just ancient musical instruments such as Sun Wukong and the guzheng. We never expected that there are so many rock fans in China.

Later, we invited Rolling Stone and Bian Lang to be our tour guests in Europe, which showed us the perseverance and professionalism of Chinese rock musicians, so we came! Thank you Rolling Stone and Bian Lang for helping us start this tour in China, and thank you for coming to the scene today..."

Those people in the pop circle in the audience were all jealous after hearing this.

Even if it was just a casual act, they were jealous, especially those who liked to hype things up. If a foreign singer said something like that before a performance in China, they would definitely buy hot searches to promote it. Even if the singer was not as famous as Hatter, it would be fine!

Ivo saw that Femos's hand was still bandaged, so he asked Silva, "What happened to him? Who is the guitarist who replaced him?"

"I went to the amusement park to play Broken Bones during the music festival. That was Whetstone, the lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones!"

"Oh! I remember that guitarist. I saw a video of him participating in a party. His skills were really strong. I think it should be no problem for the Rolling Stones to go on tour in Europe."

Silva nodded, and then asked jokingly: "I'd like to invite you to be a guest at that time, would you like to?"

"Oh! That's a good suggestion. If there is a chance, we would definitely like to do it!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the prelude guitar played by Dili came from the stage, followed by the strong rhythm of the drums. Yiwo felt like he was going to explode: "New song, what is this?"

"Yes, Wave wrote it!" Silva leaned close to his ear and shouted at the top of his voice!
