Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 758 Unprepared New Song

At this time, in the open space outside the Rolling Stones' door, the Rolling Stones had already played their fourth song. Although it was very different from the songs they had prepared before, it still seemed as if it was carefully prepared to the fans.

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Bian Lang sat cross-legged on the edge of the cement platform with the microphone in hand. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, then put the microphone to his lips and began to snap his tongue: "Dongdong, dongdong, dongdongdongdong..."

Then the sharp sound of the guitar followed suit: "Thump, thump, thump, thump..."

This kind of tacit understanding that did not need to be expressed in words made the Rolling Stone musicians who knew the inside story at the scene envious to the point of separation.

Chen Shuting is the person who knows the band best besides the non-band members. To her, this situation does not feel like a performance or a rehearsal, but just like the feeling of a group of people having fun after each rehearsal.

As the news of the performance spread, more and more people showed up, and now there are probably more than two thousand people.

The city management staff looked at the situation and joked, "Actually, this piece of land would be a good place to develop into a temporary performance venue."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. This is a place in the city center where every inch of land is valuable..." He didn't say the rest of the sentence. I believe everyone who understands will understand.

After the prelude, Bian Lang’s singing almost sounded at the same time as the chorus: “The rain is falling continuously over the ancient city, and Renmin Road has my good mood…”

Bian Lang's dancing is not as smooth as Gao Hu's, but he is young after all, and when he gets crazy, he is much more energetic than Gao Hu.

When the chorus started, the whole audience jumped up as soon as the microphone was released: "Goodbye Jack! Goodbye my Kerouac..."

But this concrete platform is not a stage after all. Even though it was covered with a carpet, it was not very stable. Bian Lang slipped and fell under the stage.

This temporary venue doesn't have that much security setup, there's no isolation belt under the stage, and fans are all coming down.

"Ouch, diving! This is the most fun way to play!"

The fans who were looking up at the stage didn't watch carefully and thought that Bian Lang did it on purpose. A pair of strong arms supported Bian Lang like a big net and caught him steadily.

But several musicians of the Rolling Stones were panicking. They were on the same platform as Bian Lang and could clearly see that Bian Lang slipped and fell.

Then everyone paused for a beat, and everyone wanted to see what was going on. Huang Kai, who was in the front row, stepped forward and looked down, then turned to everyone and smiled and shook his head, indicating that nothing had happened. Just like that, after a three-beat pause, the interlude resumed without any sense of disobedience.

The cameraman near the stage just wanted to shout, "Wow! This works!"

Guo Li, who was not far away, almost dropped his camera and ran over to take a look, but the next second Bian Lang had already started to "wander" in the sea of ​​fans!

Except for the staff who were scared out of their wits, the fans' emotions reached a climax because of this little accident.

However, Bian Lang was just carried around in a small circle, and then he was sent back to the stage, and then he led everyone to continue HI...

In fact, when he fell, Bian Lang’s mind went blank for a moment, but after falling into the big net woven by the hands of music fans, he was completely relieved!
If he didn't follow in Wong Ka Kui's footsteps, he didn't think God would let him travel through time again.

After singing this song, Bian Lang sat down and chatted with the fans into the microphone: "It's just right to take a break. If you don't mind, let's chat..."

Anyway, things have come to this point, so how could the fans who came to the performance for free have any objections? Even if Bian Lang is willing to chat with them all night, they would be happy to do so, especially the front row. There are not many opportunities to be so close to Bian Lang at a performance.

After a variety of responses, Bian Lang continued with the microphone: "Let me talk about tonight first. For everyone who has bought tickets for tonight, we will ask the on-site staff to refund the money you paid for the tickets tomorrow." Although there is no precedent for refunding without requesting it, Bian Lang believes that this is technically feasible.

Even if it is not technically feasible, the after-sales workload of 400 people will not be a problem.

As soon as these words came out, some people in the crowd began to shout, "No need to retreat, this is proof that we have heard this premiere!"

"Yes! This commemoration is priceless to us!"

"Well, don't you want to keep the physical ticket stub as a souvenir?" After saying this, Bian Lang continued, "Then for fans coming from other places, the round-trip transportation and accommodation for tonight will also be covered by us, the Rolling Stones. We will have our staff contact you about this!"

As soon as this was said, some people shouted even louder: "We really don't need Brother Lang! We already think it's worth it to be able to see such an exciting performance!"

"Yes, even if the staff contacts us at that time, we will not refund!"

"Brother Lang, please don't be like this. How can we be embarrassed if you do this?"

Bian Lang raised his hand to stop the fans from talking, then continued, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It was our fault that caused the originally planned performance to be cancelled. We, the Rolling Stones, must take responsibility for what we should be responsible for. Please don't make things difficult for our staff. If their performance is deducted for failing to complete the task, it will all be your fault!"

After the audience burst into laughter, Bian Lang said, "Don't be embarrassed. When we hold a large-scale concert, we will definitely have the opportunity to make you suffer."

None of the fans present believed this joke.

After all, the ticket prices of various Rolling Stones concerts and music festivals are lower than the average ticket prices of performances of the same level. So they don't believe that the Rolling Stones will have an outrageous price increase in the future!

This is also what makes other performers hate it the most.

Who says there is no capital behind the main business of the Rolling Stones? So far, all the performances have been organized by themselves, and have not been outsourced to other performance companies. So what others think is a sure loss can actually make money at the Rolling Stones.

The most crucial thing is the Rolling Stones' box office ability. No matter whether it is a music festival or any other performance, there are only fans who cannot buy tickets with a lot of money, but there are no tickets that cannot be sold on the APP.

Therefore, this time the Rolling Stones also covered the airfare and hotel expenses for the foreign fans, and many fans were deeply moved.

Even many people who were watching the live broadcast felt a little sad after listening to Bian Lang's vague voice and then clarifying the matter with the host's explanation.

If you think about those people who, for unknown reasons, just come for commercial performances and charge hundreds or thousands of dollars for tickets, they will feel even worse.

"This is the Rolling Stones! This is not your fault, why do this?"

"Those lousy young hunks that kids are chasing after now, they haven't even found the right tune yet, they're just trying to make money, they really have no shame compared to the Rolling Stones!"

"Really? I think Bian Lang should be named a model worker! He deserves to be so famous!"

"This may be the current state of rock music. If this happened in the pop music circle, people would probably laugh at me for being stupid!"

"But let's just watch and cherish it. If the Rolling Stones continue to be popular like this, it's not certain that they can still organize the tour themselves, and the ticket prices will be hard to predict!"

As for those who were looking forward to the Rolling Stones smashing their brand tonight, they are all sighing now.

As for the one called Lu Tu, he sobered up a lot after entering Longxiang Police Station, and started to yell: "Uncle police, look at the injuries on my body. I am a victim, why am I..." Before he could finish his words, someone from Longxiang Police Station coughed and said, "Do you know that your remarks are suspected of slander?"

But he was touched in a sore spot, and eager to argue and excuse himself, his tone suddenly became even higher: "Uncle police, you can't just put a hoodwink on me, what I said is all the truth..."

The guy wanted to continue talking, but the policeman interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, everything here is done according to the rules and regulations. Please show us your ID card so that we can take a statement. You said in the video that you were almost sold to the MD as a piglet. Tell us about this in advance..."

After hearing this, his previous arrogance suddenly wilted.

If it was because of the Rolling Stones, then he would definitely have the confidence to fight on. Even if it went to court, the police station would actually have nothing to say.

However, he had not taken it seriously before because he had said those words that were exaggerated and defamatory to Chuncheng. But now when he thought about what the netizens from Yunnan Province said in his comment section, he was a little panicked.

After showing his ID card and completing the basic information registration, he started to talk nonsense: "Uncle police, I was just joking. I will delete the video right away!" As he said that, he was about to take out his mobile phone to operate it.

But he blocked it with his hand, and then another policeman came over, handed over his mobile phone, and showed the contents on it to the person who was taking the statement.

The person taking the statement took a look, then looked up at the travel guy, and asked without any emotion: "What's your WeChat ID?"

This guy wanted to hide it, but after thinking about where this place was, he reluctantly told everyone his cell phone number.

The police officer opened WeChat on his phone and looked it up, then held up the phone screen to the traveler and asked, "Is this the account?"

“Yes, yes, that’s it…” Lutu thought that the policeman wanted to add him for future contact.

But who would have known that the policeman took a screenshot of his phone in front of him, and then didn't say anything else, and continued to ask about the details of being "sold" as piglets.

And this screenshot appeared on Liang Kuan's mobile phone a moment later.

Liang Kuan compared it with a screenshot sent by a PR he often worked with, and indeed found the corresponding WeChat name in the group chat.

"Lawyer Zhang, do you think these evidences are sufficient?" As he said this, he sent the two screenshots to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan, who was sitting on the sofa and looking at the evidence, picked up his phone and took a look. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is just a chain of jobs, not direct evidence. Only if there is a transaction record can the name be confiscated!"

"According to my understanding, it is impossible to pay for this kind of work first. When it comes time to settle the payment, you need to take a screenshot of the account data to get paid."

“That’s really hard to define…”

After hearing this, Liang Kuan frowned and thought for a while, then picked up his phone and started sending messages.

……

Back at the performance venue, Bian Lang had almost finished chatting with the fans. When he was about to start performing, Bian Lang asked, "What do you want to listen to? I'll give you a chance to request a song. This condition is too high and unrealistic!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were all kinds of shouts from the audience:

""No place to be ashamed of""

"Dye the Night Black"

"Don't Stop My Music..."

All the various shouts finally unified after the first person who shouted out the new song took the lead: "New song, new song, new song!"

Hearing this, Bian Lang stood up and went to discuss with everyone.

Among the new songs that have been prepared, "Who Will Accompany Me in My Adventures" is not considered heavy, but it would not be right without the electric guitar, and it is obvious that it will not be used tonight.

As for "Xanadu", two acoustic guitars can indeed produce an effect, but the effect is definitely not good in this environment and sound conditions. The video may turn out to be a large-scale rollover scene.

Everyone is aware of Bian Lang’s problems, especially when the new song is released in such an occasion. If it fails, then those who are really waiting to see the joke tonight will really get what they want.

Di Li was the first to say something that was not a solution: "Let's choose again. Those two songs really won't work under these conditions. Otherwise, you can sing a folk song and we'll follow..."

Huang Kai, who used an acoustic bass and was considered useless by music fans, also agreed: "This is indeed a solution!"

"Don't be ridiculous. This is a Rolling Stones show. How can it be that I'm singing folk songs alone?"

As he said this, Bian Lang caught a glimpse of the wheels that were still waiting nearby, ready to be summoned at any time.

"Folk songs are not okay, but folk rock is okay. We can take out another song from the album 'Universal Youth Hostel'..."

Huang Kai just said this when Dayong rejected him outright: "Forget it, which song in the song has a simple arrangement? Performing under such conditions would be like trying to carve a swan with a swan…"

"Dayong, what's the allusion you're showing off..."

While the two were bickering, Bian Lang suddenly had an idea: "Folk rock is fine, but if Wan Qing isn't good enough, there's still Diu Huoche. He's also come up with a few songs, but I don't know if you've practiced them."

Thinking of this, Lang blew a whistle in the direction of the wheel. But the wheel's attention has always been here. Seeing Bian Lang whistling and waving, he hurried over.

"Brother Lang, just tell me which song you want to play?"

"I heard from Mumian that you went through your music library and practiced all the arrangements with wind instruments?"

Lunzi got anxious when he heard this: "What nonsense is she talking about? She is just familiar with the trumpet solo."

Bian Lang understood immediately: "Okay, if you have no problem with this, then there is no problem!"

Then Bian Lang waved to everyone and said the title of the song: "Train Diary, is this song okay?"

Hearing this name, everyone except Strauss nodded and said, "Let's go..."
