Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 700: JUMP

Qiu was not the only one who noticed this. Guitarists in the industry started talking about it after seeing it, especially those who were into equipment:
"What kind of guitar is that? I've never seen it before. Is it a new model from Fender?"

"Looking at the head of the guitar, it should be, but I haven't heard of it. Shouldn't this thing be announced first?"

"It might be a custom-made guitar. Bian Lang is endorsed by Fender. Isn't this normal?"

Just after a group of people expressed their opinions, Liang Zi in the crowd laughed and said proudly, "This is made by Brother Lang!"

Hearing this, the guitarists were collectively petrified.

This is not that difficult to say, but not everyone can do it. Especially since it seems to be sponsored by Fender. Whether it is a replica of the mass-produced version or not, the title of a brand-made guitar is an epic achievement for a guitarist.

Bian Lang had never told anyone about this beforehand, and only a few people in the band knew about it in advance. He didn't even bring it out during rehearsal.

Bob, who had just arrived to the sidelines and was about to take a break from watching the show, was stunned!
"What? Is Bian Lang's homemade guitar ready?" The reason for his big reaction was mainly because he had done this himself before, but after being dissatisfied several times, he gave up. As a top guitarist, he knew the difficulty of making this kind of homemade guitar better than anyone else.

Apart from the main attribute of tone, various size accessories that suit your playing habits are things that require a long time to polish and try. In this regard, he admires Bian Lang. Although there is a pretentious element, which guitarist doesn't want to pretend to be so?

Moreover, he was in the front row and could clearly see the exposed wires in the cable trough. This rough feeling might make some guitarists dislike it, but in his opinion, this wilder styling was more in line with his aesthetic.

Excited, Bob whistled and said in not-so-standard Chinese: "Bian Lang! Awesome!"

Yiwo naturally saw that, but he didn't care much about the brand treatment or the status, and was more looking forward to the tone of the piano.

As for those music fans who are into equipment, they don’t know the behind-the-scenes and the discussion only stays on whether it is a custom-made model or a new model.

However, Guo Changxiong and his friends learned the truth after Liu Xiaokui broke the news: "That guitar was made by Brother Lang himself. He proposed the idea when he went to Europe, and Fender sent all kinds of materials to him. I heard that he did the painting himself..."

Then the hippies here let out a series of “Fuck!” sounds!

Even the most professional equipment enthusiasts give the highest praise to the awesomeness of this thing. To make an exaggerated analogy, if you can fly a fighter jet well, that's not awesome. If you can fly a fighter jet you made by yourself to perform at a military parade, that's really awesome!

At this time, Bian Lang's voice was heard amid the cheers of the audience: "Thank you all for coming to the scene, thank you Hatter band for coming to our China to perform, I hope this performance can be a good start, and more foreign rock bands can come to China to perform in the future!"

Hearing this, the fans' cheers rose again.

Seeing the fans' emotions, Ivo was puzzled as to why the team was not interested in the Chinese market when making plans. He wanted to ask Elf, but it was not appropriate now, so he just kept this question in mind.

"Let's all dance together to this new song 'JUMP'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Lang turned around and looked at where Hua Yan was.

Hua Yan nodded in understanding, and then a passionate keyboard sound appeared. If it was on the original Earth, many people would have countless movie scenes in their minds when they thought of this prelude. But now Bian Lang actually thought of the scene in Minions 3, where the villain Bright played this part on a shoulder-mounted keyboard, causing Gru to take off his clothes.

Then there is Van Halen's very trendy and avant-garde MV.

The lead singer at that time was David Lee Roth, and the splits he performed while holding the microphone stand still amaze Bian Lang. However, it is impossible for him to reproduce it for the time being, and there is no plan to do so.

So after the end of 3 bars according to that rhythm point, Bian Lang jumped high, and the moment he landed, the sound of the drum set rang out, and the sounds of the guitars in the hands of the other two also began to be heard.

What was rare was that after landing, Bian Lang did not start playing, but began to walk around in circles on the stage and interacted with every musician.

Although Bian Lang's movements are not as enchanting as David Lee Roth's, his large-scale body movements still bring out the super-burning temperament of this song.

In particular, the metallic effect produced by the keyboard after passing through the synthesizer has never appeared in any previous work of the Rolling Stones.

So the keyboard players at the scene started to get excited! In Bian Lang's previous works, guitar solos were very popular, there were many classic drum loops, and bass solos were also outstanding, but the keyboard was the only one that had not been particularly outstanding.

Now, just by listening to the tone simulation and riff, they can basically tell that the keyboard should play a major role in this song.

"Finally, Bian Lang finally remembered the keyboard!"

“I thought it would take a long time for Bian Lang’s keyboard player to come to the fore, but it looks like the time has come this time!”

"We keyboard players have been itching to play keyboards since we saw guitarists, drummers and bassists transcribe music, and now it's finally our turn!"

At this time, Yivo turned around and looked at the keyboard player of his band with a look of surprise. The moment their eyes met, they smiled at each other and then continued to focus their attention back on the stage.

Because in the metal style of their band Panama, the keyboard arrangement feels just like the current song "JUMP"...

As for the riff composed of the chords GCFGGC in Dili's hand, under the bass output of C, a lot of broken chords are displayed, making this part sound exciting and beautiful at the same time, with some shadows of classical music in it.

All of the above made every musician present feel excited, and they couldn't wait to see the score and play it.

Olaf, who was at the main control, seemed to know what they were thinking at this moment, and laughed in his heart: "The musicians below must have started to think about how to transcribe the music later! But what's the use of that? If you want to restore these sounds, you still have a lot to study!"

His idea is not exaggerated at all. In order to restore the sound of Van Halen in the 90s, Bian Lang tried no less than three-digit single blocks, including transformers and amplifiers, and tried many combinations before finally determining the formula. Two of the equipment were antiques that Olaf brought from Europe this time. In the previous debugging that was almost nitpicking, even Olaf, who always pursued perfection, felt that Bian Lang was a little too perfectionist this time.

But after the final effect was presented, he felt that even if he spent several times more time and energy to do these things, it would not be excessive.

After all, in the original Earth, countless musicians have conducted thousands of experiments specifically to restore the sound of Van Halen. It was only after watching countless teaching analysis videos that Bian Lang found the most suitable combination scheme to restore the "orange" sound of Van Halen in the 90s.

On the Blue Water Planet, due to the different equipment manufacturers and equipment models, all of this had to be done from scratch. Fortunately, with Olaf's help, otherwise Bian Lang would not have been able to achieve the effect of today's performance in such a short time.

Just when all the musicians were completely lost mentally and the fans were already getting excited by the dancing waves on the stage.

Bian Lang finally returned to the center of the stage. He turned around and sang, "I get up..." After a short beat, he continued singing, "and nothing gets me down..."

Continue to sing in the empty beat: "You got it tough...I've seen the toughest around..."

Just by controlling the rhythm of the singing and the arrangement, even those Chinese music fans who don't understand the meaning of the lyrics can feel the irrepressible, surging upward force in this music.

As for the Chinese music fans and foreigners who understand the lyrics, the excitement from the bottom of their hearts is even stronger!
"Most of the themes of today's pop music are about love. Only niche musicians such as rock and roll will focus on life other than love!" Ma Yuan sighed in his heart, and decided to take Bian Lang to the headquarters to sign the contract after listening to this show.

All the plans and strategies of those cunning people in the copyright department were put aside. Not to mention the classics that Bian Lang had brought out before, the current performance of this song was worth their big bet! Especially at this time when the results of the Golden Melody Awards were about to be announced!
As for the foreigners, it may have been a long time since they heard such a danceable heavy metal. They danced along without hesitation in addition to being surprised and happy.

This is also true on the original Earth. In the mid-1970s, the representatives of heavy metal and hard rock were the gloomy Black Sabbath, the mysterious Led Zeppelin, the gritty Deep Purple and Judas Priest. Only Van Halen made heavy metal danceable.

“And I know baby, just how you feel… You’ve got to roll with the punches to get to what’s real…”

The same one-note singing style, without any instrumental task, Bian Lang imitated the not-so-difficult movements preserved by the alarm clock, leading the whole audience to dance together: Oh can't you see me standing here, I've got my back against the record machine...
People in the circle didn’t pay much attention to Bian Lang’s actions, but they never saw him play the guitar, which made them feel a little strange:
"Could it be that Bian Lang hasn't debugged the equipment yet and just carried it up here to show us the shape?"

"You're not that serious, Bian Lang. Since it's a homemade guitar, there's no need to carry it here to pose!"

"It's hard to say. Some people just can't sing well without a guitar on their back. I've seen some rich people carry one even if they don't play it!"

Those who knew the inside story were thinking, "You haven't seen Bian Lang playing lead guitar for a while, so you don't consider him as a lead guitarist, right? I'll show you the strength of Old Monster Bian later!"

“I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen……Oh can’t you see what I mean ? (I’m definitely not the worst person you’ve ever met, oh can’t you see what I mean?)”

After Wai Bian Lang finished singing: "Might as well jump!", all the musicians on the stage joined in the harmony: "Jump!"

Then Bian Lang took off the microphone and began to walk along the edge of the stage while singing: "Might as well jump. Go ahead, jump...." Then he handed the microphone out and interacted with the fans in the audience.

In this area of ​​the circle, Yiwo and his group were at the front. When Bian Lang handed over the microphone, Yiwo grabbed the microphone and sang, "Jump!"

Because Silva was next to him, after the camera in front followed up, the on-site director cut the camera to the big screens on both sides.

Bian Lang’s knowledge of foreign rock circles was limited, but many people at the scene, including Feimos and Bob, shouted in disbelief: “Is that Yiwo?”

As countless people's eyes swept towards this area, the identities of Ivo and the Panama band were exposed at that moment.

But this did not affect Bian Lang's singing. Although he felt something different, Bian Lang took back the microphone without any hesitation and continued to sing the main song.

As for those who recognized Panama's identity, they began to think about it in their minds.

Ma Yuan was the first person to think of Panama's tour in Asia, and he also almost immediately thought of the possibility of a collaboration between Panama and the Rolling Stones.

Some people from other companies in the circle also instantly thought of this possibility.

Those who were more informed also knew that Panama had no plans to perform in China before, so they immediately smelled a business opportunity.

Before, they really didn't have much interest in foreign rock bands performing in China, but after seeing how popular Hatter's show was, they could no longer ignore this market.

Those who have top-tier stars may not care, but some medium-sized entertainment companies are very optimistic about this business opportunity.

The key is that this is also a good opportunity to establish communication connections with foreign countries!

Just as their thoughts began to wander, Bian Lang sang the verse again and entered the chorus: "Might as well jump. Jump! Go ahead, jump! Jump!"

After the audience shouted "Jump!", Bian Lang, who had never played a guitar before, finally put his hands on the homemade electric guitar that was unveiled today.

At this moment, the eyes of the guitarists and music fans who had been waiting for a long time lit up and their breathing became more rapid.

Normally, the interlude solo should start now! It looks like Bian Lang is planning to complete the main solo by himself!

Bian Lang certainly didn't disappoint everyone, and he sang a high note on the 18th fret, as if to remind everyone that the solo was coming...
