Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 705 Adams's Concern
At this time, Yiwo was watching the performance of the two guitarists on the stage, and he felt that he had really underestimated Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones before.

As a creator, he knows the difficulties and pain points of music creation better than anyone else. As for the rhythm guitar riffs so far, he can't understand why Bian Lang would write them this way. The key is that the lyrics are not in his native language, which makes him admire him even more.

After all, if he wants to create across languages, it is not as simple as learning a foreign language. In order to create an effect that is recognized by the audience of the language users, many cultural and historical backgrounds are indispensable.

Otherwise, what you write will be castles in the air and it will be hard for people to believe.

This is not just about songwriting, it also applies to other cultural fields. But Bian Lang, the genius in his eyes, has actually done it! And that doesn't even include "V for Stranger"...

The frenzy of the interlude continues in the chorus:
"FIRE! HOT FIRE!! Purge the world with fire!! Damnation is the price he'll pay, for an evil man's desire!
Good, versus evil!
The stand to vanquish evil! Man can only live one way, that place right in the middle. He's seeing, he's calling, his legacy he's spawning. He's coming, corrupting, among the living..."

“Follow me or die…Among Among…”

When the last song ended in an endless loop of "Among Among...", the manic atmosphere in the audience did not end.

The metal gifts that filled the entire venue displayed an overwhelming visual impact under the lenses of various devices!

Various slogans such as "Rock is not dead!" "Bianlang is awesome!" "Hatter is awesome!" have been echoing throughout the venue.

It was not until Phimos led everyone to take their bows that the uncoordinated slogans turned into a uniform “Encore!”

It was impossible for Hatter not to prepare for this first show, and the song was no surprise: it was the encore song "Rock and Roll on the New Long March" at last year's Rolling Stone Music Festival. The only difference was that this time, Bian Lang was invited directly to the stage by Feimos to sing along with the fans.

After all, he can only sing “1234567…”, so it is most appropriate to let Bian Lang come up and finish at the end.

Although every rock musician has his own pride, in Feimos's opinion, Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones played at least 5% of the role in this performance! The result that satisfied him today was definitely due to the support of Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones.

If it weren't for the Rolling Stones, he felt that he would never have considered holding a few concerts in China in his lifetime.

After all, before Hatter, none of the rock bands that performed in China in recent years had achieved commercial success. They are now like what is sung in the song: "Heard of, never seen, twenty-five thousand miles away...some talk, nothing done, how do you know it's not easy..."

China’s rock and roll long march had just begun, and they were very excited about the victory in this battle.

In the final chorus of "1234567...", Feimos and Bian Lang interacted with the fans, trying to dilute the foreseeable low mood that was about to end.

No matter what the purpose of the fans who came today was, they felt that today's performance was worth it.

Even Li Yiliang and Zhu Wen, who were absolutely opposed to the Rolling Stones, could not find any fault with the performance itself.

At this time, the two of them put on masks and hurriedly left among the crowd. The two people, each with their own thoughts, walked out of the gate of Wukesong.

Li Yiliang left without stopping, while Zhu Wen, relying on his experience of organizing compilation performances here, successfully found the VIP channel and wanted to see if he could meet the Panama band here.

Before he could wait for long, among the first wave of people coming out, there was someone he knew. This person was the artist director of a certain entertainment company. When he saw Zhu Wen at the door, he took the initiative to greet him: "Hey, Mr. Wen, why didn't I see you inside?"

Zhu Wen never thought that he could be recognized even with a mask on. He thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "I was sick, so I didn't go much. I came out right after the show."

The man didn't think much about it, just said hello and left.

Zhu Wen's acquaintances came out one after another, and because he deliberately avoided and covered himself up, no one recognized him. But when the security guards locked the door, no one from Panama was seen, not even a single person from the Rolling Stones.

Panama and Silva followed the Rolling Stones and left through the performers' only channel to celebrate the success of the performance.

At the same time, videos of Hatter's performance began to circulate on the Internet.

There is no doubt that once the video of "JUMP" was released, many fans who were unable to attend the event were extremely envious.

With the help of Fender, the topic of Bian Lang's homemade guitar became a hot search. Of course, this performance was not the only hot search. When Bian Lang and other musicians were drinking and playing improvisation, Liang Kuan and Chen Shuting had already published the hot search topics they had prepared in advance one by one.

The most direct effect was that the ticket sales at the Shanghai station, which had been lukewarm due to the lack of a guest star with a story, suddenly began to sell out.

At this time, the manager of Panama was dealing with a very difficult matter. According to the original plan, Panama's performance was to be warmed up by a new generation popular band from the island country, and then a veteran blues band that had a good relationship with Panama would be the guest.

However, this blues band has been banned from any commercial performances because of its election stance, so its agent Fisher is now busy looking for a replacement band.

However, there is only one week left, and he feels that the appropriate schedule does not match. If it is backward compatible, Fisher feels that it will lose value...

Just at this moment, Yiwo called.

Fisher sorted out his emotions, picked up the phone and was about to discuss this with Ivo, but he heard Ivo's words first: "Fisher, I think the company's previous investigation of the Chinese rock market may have some omissions."

Hearing this, Fisher said "hmm" before saying, "How was Hatter's show, was it sold out?"

Ivo didn't expect Fisher to have this attitude, and immediately felt that something must have happened: "Fisher, is there something wrong with the performance of the island country?"

"There is indeed a problem. Your friends are banned from performing. I am now looking for a band that can be a guest..." At this moment, Fisher even thought about whether he could invite Hatter.

But reason finally told him that regardless of whether Hatter would agree to this matter, the various operational complications involved might not be resolved within a week.

"Let's talk about Hatter's performance. How about..."

After Fisher brought the topic back, Ivo didn't think much and spoke directly: "The venue with 8000 people is full, and there are still many people gathered in the square outside the venue. I think there are at least one or two thousand people. I heard that the 13000 tickets for their next stop in Shanghai are almost sold out!" When the tour plan was made before, Fisher mentioned the China stop. But the company gave a perfunctory reply, saying that it was worthless. He even used the popularity of the Rolling Stones as an example to the people in the company, but they just said: "The Rolling Stones are a local band in China. How many fans really go to see their performances because they like rock music..."

He also knew that it would take a long time to get the relevant procedures and approvals for a performance in China, and the company that would undertake the performance might not be very professional, so he did not insist.

But after arriving in Asia, he heard the news that Hatter was going to have a special tour in China. If he hadn't been busy with other things, he would have definitely gone to see what was going on.

Hearing what Ivo said now, he wasn't too surprised. He knew from his previous research that the Rolling Stones would be the guest performers for Hatter.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Have you met with Wave from the Rolling Stones? Can you invite them to be our guests for the show?"

If possible, Yiwo would certainly be willing to do it, but this matter came a little suddenly, and he didn't know if it would work.

"I'll go ask about their schedule. By the way, I think you can report to the company. We've decided to have a show in China!"

Fisher had anticipated what Ivo was saying when he picked up the phone and heard Ivo's tone. Since there was Hatter's successful case, there wouldn't be any big problems in convincing him. The only difficult thing to arrange was the time issue.

After all, the performances at other stops started half a year in advance, and the entire tour is expected to end in just one and a half months. If everything cannot be arranged within this time, it is hard to say whether it will affect Panama's other schedules.

"Well, since you have experienced the Chinese market firsthand, I will do my best to operate it. Hatter and the Rolling Stones are in charge of the operation, right? Have you sent any signals to the Rolling Stones..."

The two chatted for more than 20 minutes, almost half an hour, and finally Yiwo remembered that he had to ask about the schedule of the Rolling Stones, so he hung up the phone. At the same time, Yiwo also sent Liang Kuan's contact information to Fisher.

When he returned to Si Gu, he heard everyone singing: "Tonight, we will go to Si Gu and win the battle of drinking flowers..."

Bob was playing guitar on the stage, Li Hao was singing lead, and Bian Lang and Fei Mo Si were standing at the side of the stage blowing bottles.

Seeing this scene, he temporarily put aside the question of the schedule and joined in the carnival.

Meanwhile in Europe, Horn, the music director at DGM headquarters, had just received the video footage of Hatter's first tour sent to him from China.

It was already time to get off work, but knowing that Hatter had gotten a new song from Bianlang this time, he thought about it and finally returned to his office, opened the file and started looking for the name of the new song.

But before he even got to Among The Living, he noticed the song title JUMP. Whether it was because of his work or his personal preference, he was familiar with all the Rolling Stones' works. It was the first time he had seen the song title JUMP, so he immediately put on his headphones and opened the video file to watch it.

As the riffs on the keyboard played, he felt an electric current starting from his ears and spreading throughout his body. When he heard the double-tap solo in the middle, he couldn't help but shout out, "Wow, I didn't expect Wave's guitar skills to be so impressive..."

After watching it once, twice, and three times, he finally discovered the homemade guitar and the orange tone.

At this time, he had forgotten the purpose of sitting down in the first place, and instead used the keyboard next to his workbench to start picking out the keyboard riffs of the song.

Almost two hours later, Adams, who had returned to the company for some business, saw that Horn's door was still open and the light was on, so he came over to say hello out of courtesy. But he saw Horn, like a child who got a new toy, excitedly playing a song he had never heard of on the keyboard.

Adams didn't interrupt and just leaned against the door to listen. It was not until Horn saw Adams leaning against the door through the reflection of the screen that he took off his headphones with a reluctant look and turned around to greet Adams.

"Adams, when did you come here?"

"Horn, what was that you played just now?"

"The Rolling Stones' new song, isn't this riff very rhythmic? Oh, and the guitar he made himself was also shown. Why don't we have such a self-conscious and prolific musician in DGM..."

"Horn, in a sense, he is also a DGM member, but his workplace is in China..."

Horn reacted and began to envy Olaf. After being asked by Adams, he remembered the real reason for staying, and invited Adams, "You don't have anything else to do, come and listen to the new song that Wave prepared for Hatter."

Adams looked at his watch, then walked straight into Horn's office and closed the door behind him.

As a result, Horn only listened to the prelude for 50 seconds before pressing pause and starting writing and drawing on his tablet.

Although Adams is not as professional as Horn, he still has a better appreciation ability than the average person.

My heart rate, which had just been raised by the rhythm, was suddenly interrupted, and I felt a little unhappy: "Horn, can we listen to it once first, and then you can continue with your professional work!"

When Horn heard this, he felt something was wrong.

He was completely stuck after 8 bars, not realizing that Adams was around him.

"OK……"

After saying that, he curled his lips and clicked the play button.

After listening to the nearly 5-minute song, Horn let out a long sigh of relief, and then said to Adams, "I'm going to China. If the songs that Wave writes for Hatter in the future are all in this style and are enough for an album, I think Hatter can directly impact the North American market!"

"Horn, don't get too excited. Olaf is here. Tell me what you think. I'll let Olaf and Evelyn do it. If that doesn't work, Elf is still in China..."

Adams was a little scared. He was afraid that Horn would be like Olaf, who was nailed to China by Bian Lang and could not come back.
