Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 756 The Beginning
The Rolling Stones members who had known the whole story were all angry and regretful, but they all knew that there was nothing they could do. If they had to blame anyone, they could only blame themselves for underestimating the influence of the Rolling Stones and failing to be fully prepared.

As for the person who stirred up trouble online, everyone absolutely believes in the execution ability of netizens in Yunnan Province, and there is no need for them to take the initiative to do anything.

But now listening to Bian Lang's tone, it seems that he is saying that he will finish today's performance even if he has to perform on the street, which is of course the happiest thing for him.

In the Rolling Stones, except for Tao Xingyue and Liu Jiayun, all the other musicians are amateurs. Singing and running around bars are basic skills, and they don't care about issues like performance venues at all.

As for music fans, that is something that makes them happier than the Chinese New Year.

The Rolling Stones' first solo concert was a memorable event in itself. Although no one knew how the show would go on after the accident, it would definitely be a unique performance that they would never forget.

The news spread quickly on the street as fans left the live venue, and those who were about to leave stopped. According to their understanding, the Rolling Stones were planning to find a place to perform outdoors, which would mean they could get a free first show, so why would they leave?

Even if they want to leave, they will wait for the Rolling Stones to come out and leave with them.

Although Bian Lang said this, the venue is still a problem. The nearest open space available for performances is either by Cui Lake or inside the Yunnan University campus, neither of which seems very realistic.

As the person in charge of the LAB, it can be said that Lao Tan is responsible for this matter. So after confirming Bian Lang's idea, he was the one who ran the fastest. He hurried out to find a venue. Coordinating with Longxiang Office and Urban Management was something he had to do.

Naturally, the two groups of people did not leave, especially after hearing that the Rolling Stones would continue to perform, it was even less likely that the two groups would leave.

Seeing Old Tan coming down, the people from Longxiang Police Station spoke first: "Boss Tan, what do you mean by this? We can't withdraw the team if the crowd doesn't disperse..."

Lao Tan has been running a bar in this area for more than ten years, and he knows the people on both sides very well. Facing the serious words, he still smiled and replied: "Don't worry, we won't cause any trouble to you. If it doesn't work, we will take the people to Cuihu Lake."

Cuihu Park is a park in the real city center of Chuncheng. There is indeed enough space there to accommodate these people. There are often many people singing and square dancing there at night. As for the performance procedures, with the current influence of the Rolling Stones, it is easy to solve the problem whether they make up for it later or pay the fine.

"That's a good idea. We won't be in charge of it if you go to Cuihu Lake. I can also make a phone call to help and let them know first..." As soon as the leader said this, Old Tan was busy thanking him: "That's the best!"

"But what if more local music fans hear the news and rush over to join in the fun? It's a one-way street over there on Cuihu..."

Hearing this, Old Tan wanted to eat up the new face who spoke up, but he didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Bian Lan, who had been listening without saying anything, spoke up: "Old Tan, can we perform on the empty lot across the street?"

Old Tan's eyes lit up and he was about to say a good idea, but then he shook his head and said, "Of course it would be best if we could get in. It's just a matter of crossing the road. If there is a way, I will contact you right away. I don't care how much the venue fee is."

Bian Lan also sighed after hearing what Old Tan said. She just suddenly thought of an idea, but she didn't know whether it could be done or how to do it.

Although they didn't know, the people from the two departments present knew.

I only heard the leader of the Urban Management team say: "After the land was requisitioned, it was never auctioned off because the transfer fee was too high. Later, it was rented out to someone as a parking lot for a while, but the accounts were a bit unclear, so fortunately it has been vacant ever since. Sometimes we don't have enough space in the team to store some of the confiscated items, so we will borrow a place to temporarily store them. We have the key to the iron gate, but I will open the door for you tonight, and you will have to handle the rest by yourselves!"

Since that was the case, Old Tan agreed almost without thinking: "That would be great, I'll go with you to get the key, and I'll ask you to show me the way later."

The leader waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need for me to send someone over. With so many people here tonight, Longxiang Police Station and we will probably continue to jointly enforce the law. We will just wait until your performance is over before we pack up."

Old Tan understood what he meant, bowed to the leader, and was about to run back to inform him. But after running two steps, he rushed back and asked the person led by Long Xiang: "I want to ask, if the DY who spread rumors and incited complaints to the police is doing this for money, is it illegal? If he gets beaten later..."

Before he could finish his words, he understood what was going on. He pointed at Old Tan with a smile, then ran out first.

After a while, a security guard was heard shouting on a loudspeaker: "Attention, fans, please follow the flag in front and wait in the open space opposite. The Rolling Stones will be here shortly."

As the shouting continued, a security guard holding a large flag with the Rolling Stones logo on it walked along the sidewalk to guide the crowd across the street.

"Journey", who had just posted his second video, saw this scene and was about to record the third video when he saw a man in a hat holding a mobile phone, pushing the crowd towards him.

He also saw a few negative comments about the first video, but he thought they were just exaggerated and not to be taken too seriously, so he didn't take them seriously at all.

But now that he saw Uncle Hat appear, he was a little panicked!
It was impossible for him to run away. With the current crowd, how could he escape? He put away his phone and was thinking about how to deal with the questioning of the uncle in the hat.

Then he heard a clear female voice not far away. He turned around and saw a female anchor holding up her phone and shouting at him, "That's him, the one with glasses and rosacea, that's the Journey!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could react, he felt that the way the people here looked at him changed!

Before he could hear clearly how the people around him were scolding him, he felt a blow on his waist, followed by a kick behind his knee, and then he was completely stunned. When he came to his senses again, he had already left the crowd under the "protection" of the two uncles in hats.

It was called protection, but he felt like a prisoner paraded through the streets in ancient times. Except that there were no rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves thrown at his body and face, everything else was pretty much the same.

The most important thing was the sound of the shutter clicking, which made him want to die.

Looking at the Rolling Stone Building, staff from the record store were already moving the speakers outside, and some fans took the initiative to go over and lend a hand when they saw this.

After receiving the news from Lao Tan, the members of the Rolling Stones had an urgent discussion. The condition of the venue opposite was almost the same as an empty lot. Even if there was a power supply, it could not support large equipment. They could only use the speakers used for street singing.

"Don't even think about the heavy ones. I think we can just play with it unplugged!" Dayong's suggestion was unanimously agreed by everyone.

Then Bian Lang continued, "Then just watch and go to the stage to discuss. Hurry up and pack up and go..."

Just as he was about to leave after saying this, Di Li grabbed him and asked, "What song should we sing first? Decide on it first!"

The original plan was to play "Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty" as the first song, but now if we want to play unplugged, we can't play heavy songs like Tang Dynasty, Pink Floyd, and Metallica.

Bian Lang didn't even think about this question. Since things were so coincidental, it must be "People without ideals don't feel sad"!

"The song that made me sing Pants was written here. It has a special meaning!" "Okay!"

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

That song is not only the famous song of New Pants, but also the first song that officially helped Bian Lang rise to fame. I don’t say that everyone in the Rolling Stones can sing it with their eyes closed, but there are really few musicians who are not familiar with this song.

What’s more, it’s the Rolling Stones!
After the arrangements were made here, several people started to get their musical instruments, and the assistants would naturally help them get the extra ones.

By the time the Rolling Stones came down from upstairs, the traffic that had been blocked by the large number of fans gradually returned to normal.

When he was waiting for the red light to cross the street, a mounted policeman was about to leave on his CFMOTO police bike. Bian Lang, carrying a guitar on his back, ran over, bumped fists with the man, and said seriously, "Thank you, you've worked hard tonight! Come over to listen to music when you're not working."

The policeman nodded, said nothing, smiled, and turned away.

This scene was seen by Guo Li who just rushed down from the upstairs and started to take photos. "Brother Lang is really interesting sometimes!"

The news that the Rolling Stones were going to perform an outdoor show could not be concealed at all and spread quickly on the Internet.

When the music fans in Chuncheng heard that there was a chance to get something for free, those who saw the place was not far away grabbed their phones and ran out.

Liu Min, who lives at Xichang intersection, is one of them. When she was opening the door, she heard her boyfriend shouting, "Where are you going? Why don't you want to watch Summer of the Band?"

Liu Mintou said, "The Rolling Stones are performing at the Xiaoximen outdoor show. If you go too late, you won't be able to get in!"

It was not until he heard the door close that Liu Min’s boyfriend realized how weird this matter was.

"Hey! It was obviously me who introduced you to the Rolling Stones, but now you're gone on your own because of something wrong... I..." Before he could finish his complaint, he jumped up from the sofa as if awakened from a dream, ready to find the motorcycle keys and chase after him.

Before he could find his keys, he heard the familiar roar of his 400CC engine downstairs.

"Uh, why would I bring you into this rock music world for no reason?"

After cursing, he put on his canvas shoes and rushed out of the door.

By the time he arrived at Xiaoximen on his shared electric bike, only one-third of the people had entered the open space.

Fortunately, Liu Min still had some conscience, and she called him while waiting at the door. When the two rushed to the "stage" and stood still, the Rolling Stones were already there.

With surrounding street lights and building LEDs, there is no problem with lighting on the site.

On a large cement platform that had not yet been dismantled, the Rolling Stones staff had already laid a layer of gray carpet used for events. The platform was about 2 meters high, which was just about the right height for a stage.

Looking at the speakers on the stage that looked similar to those used by the old ladies doing square dance, and the group of people adjusting the equipment, Liu Min, who had just started, asked her boyfriend, "Wang Chengcheng, is this reliable?"

Wang Chengcheng didn't answer immediately. He took out his phone, pulled Liu Min around and turned his back to the stage. He raised his phone, turned on the video function and started recording: "Look, guys. This is the first Rolling Stones concert. I'm lucky enough to be there!"

After the recording was finished, he said to Liu Min, "It's best to be unreliable, the more unreliable the better! The Rolling Stones will definitely be a world-class band. This kind of opportunity will only come once, and this is the first solo show. Being able to perform there is something I can brag about for the rest of my life!"

Liu Min thought about it and it seemed to be true. Then she started to get excited: "I don't know what they will sing tonight. I want to listen to "People Without Ideals Are Not Sad"!"

When Wang Chengcheng heard it was this song, he put on an expression of a senior and started to lecture: "Don't dream, even though that song was made popular by Bian Lang himself, it has been given to New Pants, and he won't sing it again in the Rolling Stones' special!"

"Wang Chengcheng, will you die if you support me? Are you my boyfriend or my teacher? I just graduated and I still have to be lectured by you. Is that fun?"

Wang Chengcheng knew that he had said the wrong thing and was now furious. He hadn't even bothered with Liu Min about Liu Min leaving him alone at home and running away, but now he was criticized for this sentence that he thought was normal.

He immediately started to fight back: "Just tell me whether you believe it or not? How about making a bet?"

"Okay! I'm going to make a bet with you today. What do you want to bet on?"

Wang Chengcheng smiled sinisterly, then leaned over and said something in Liu Min's ear.

Liu Min rolled her eyes at him unhappily, then nodded and said, "No problem. If you lose, you will sleep on the sofa in the living room for a month!"

"Okay! Whoever doesn't acknowledge me as your grandson will be the one to do so!"

"I don't have a grandson as wicked as you!"

The two of them were arguing at the back, when they heard the sound of a guitar coming from the stage and the crowd began to get agitated.

With the help of her teammates, Min Wen took a relatively advantageous camera position and shouted excitedly during the live broadcast: "Look, the first special show of the Rolling Stones is about to begin!"

Those who had been watching the live broadcast were busy getting excited and chattering on the public screen: "In a sense, should we thank the guy who reported it?"

"Haha, judging from the results, that is indeed the case, but I will never forgive him!"

Less than two minutes later, Bian Lang's voice was heard from the speakers: "Thank you all for your hard work tonight. I hope we can all spend an unforgettable night here together..."

After the applause, Bian Lang continued, "From the Mid-Levels opposite to here, from the record store downstairs to the Rolling Stones LAB now, this can be said to be where the rock and roll of me and the Rolling Stones began! It has not been easy for us to come this far, and it is with your support and companionship that we have come this far. "People Without Ideals Don't Get Sad" is dedicated to you!"

As soon as the song title came out, the fans' cheers, jumping figures and metal salutes mixed together, accompanied by the dust flying under their feet, becoming the most vivid opening scene of the Rolling Stones' first solo show tonight!
