Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 773 Just right

Those who came in the morning were from Yunnan Art Institute, Xinghai, Hongta, local leaders, people from Rolling Stone, and singers who were recording songs here.

It is said to be a formality, but in fact it is to lay a foundation for displaying the results of cultural work this year. If the music school is good, it will be a political achievement in the cultural field from the district to the city.

So the speech at this morning's meeting was quite lengthy, and it might seem a little strange to those who had not attended such an event.

Guo Li looked at the 600 yuan deposit hung by the accompanying staff and sighed: "The funds are really sufficient, but in order to shoot the whole scene, he has to go to the door to get it!"

Zhou Ketong smiled and pointed at the staff member again: "See, there is a mobile phone that can make up for the wide-angle lens."

The speech lasted more than an hour. Principal Lao Pan, who had prepared for several nights, spoke without a script at the end: "I think the leaders before me have already made it very clear about the plan and vision. I will just shout out a slogan: Rock and roll will never die!"

The TV reporter was almost yawning. Seeing the cameraman filming, she asked curiously, "What's the point of filming this? It won't make the news!"

"I've said only this one thing this morning that's true. I've kept a copy for Rolling Stone." The reporter thought about it and then went to interview the leader after Pan Jianhu stepped down.

Liang Zi, who didn't quite understand the process, was confused: "Jin Ma, we really don't need to go up and show our respect?"

"That's not necessary. They just left after the interview and didn't care about what kind of cultural activities we were going to organize. Everyone knows that this is not going to make either side feel comfortable!"

"Alas, only Master Tiger can handle these. Look, Brother Lang is almost falling asleep."

After Pan Jianhu and the leaders finished touring the school, they went to the Music and Culture Industry Park to continue their tour, while Bian Lang took Quanli to the cafeteria for lunch.

There are not many people now, and the canteen has not been contracted out, so we just found a team from Nan Feiyan to take care of it first.

At noon, we had a meal of authentic Yunnan cuisine, and in the afternoon we visited and chatted around the school.

Guests who were going to attend the internal opening party in the evening began to arrive one after another. Huang Wei brought the prospective first-line female singer and her daughter with her.

A quasi-first-tier artist named Liu Po ​​had been to the campus before when he was recording a song. Now seeing the changes, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "The Rolling Stones are what we call Chinese speed. Look at our shabby office building. It took us almost half a year to renovate it, and it's still not in good shape."

Huang Wei smiled and said, "If the money from the Rolling Stones can keep up, then it will be very fast. By the way, don't you want to participate in the recording of the album "Songs of the Past"? This is a good opportunity. Have a good chat with Bian Lang. Including Qin Linglan's group, there are already three groups. Bian Lang and Guo Sichu are the main ones. You only have two chances left!"

Of course Liu Po ​​wanted to too, but before that she had no say in Bian Lang's affairs and had to rely on her relationship with Liang Kuan. Liang Kuan gave the name to Bian Lang, but it was still up to Bian Lang to decide whether to choose or not.

"I'll do my best. How about you ask Huang Jie to help? By the way, what is Xiao Jie busy with now?"

"How would I know? They all say that creations must be kept secret, so I, who invested money, have become an outsider."

"Come to think of it, you must have made a lot of money by investing in their studio, right?"

Speaking of this, Huang Wei herself felt a little angry: "Hey, you're right. I originally invested money, firstly to repay the favor that Bian Lang gave to Ge, and secondly to give Xiao Jie a sense of security. But who could have thought that their work would sell well overseas, and the current income is equivalent to the royalties of three of my records."

Speaking of this, Liu Po ​​looked at his daughter and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head silently.

The three of them hadn't walked for long when they heard someone behind them shouting, "Mom, wait for me!"

Turning back, Huang Jie was running in from the door: "Didn't you say you were going to visit me?"

When they were in front of her, Huang Wei smiled and said, "Isn't Tongtong here to see the school? Let's wait for Ke Tong to take us around. Don't you miss me being busy?"

Liu Tong and Huang Jie were just acquaintances, and they were not familiar with each other before, so when they met, they just nodded and said hello.

Huang Jie said generously: "We come here every day to eat, let me take you around. Ever since that island girl came, Lao Mo and Lao Zhang don't like to talk to me anymore..."

"Don't make up stories about your Uncle Mo. If Aunt Shu Ting finds out, your Uncle Mo will suffer, and neither will you!"

"Tsk, Uncle Mo, we are all just a bunch of tools, all the same!"

"Okay, then I'll tell Ke Tong..."

When Huang Wei sent a message to Zhou Ketong, Huang Jie had already asked Liu Tong where he wanted to visit first.

Before Liu Tong came, his mind was full of images of Bian Lang and the three Rolling Stones guitarists. Now that he had arrived and seen the deserted scene, he suddenly felt disappointed and as if he had been cheated.

But her mother had repeatedly assured her, and Huang Wei was here, so she didn't want to ask too much, so she just said calmly: "I want to go see the recording studio. I heard from my mother that they recorded songs here!"

"Okay, let's go. Maybe someone is recording a song there. I'll take you in to take a look!" Huang Jie said and led a few people to the recording studio.

Liu Bo and Huang Wei had both been to the recording studio, so it was nothing new. But before she even got upstairs, she ran into King Liu coming down.

Liu Tong was shocked by the sudden appearance. Although she was a second-generation star and had definitely seen many celebrities, her mother Liu Po ​​was far from being like King Liu, and she had never had the chance to see her in person before.

Just when he was thinking whether he should ask for an autograph, he saw King Liu greeting Huang Jie in a very familiar manner, "Student Huang, why didn't I see you at lunch..." King Liu also ate in the cafeteria when he recorded his songs, so he and Huang Jie, who came to eat there every day, saw each other so often that they naturally became familiar with each other.

"I'm waiting for my mom to come over. Uncle Liu, let me introduce you. This is my friend Liu Tong!"

Huang Wei didn't know this, and now she was full of questions: "I've been in the industry for half my life, but my connections are not as good as yours, a little girl who has been following Bian Lang for half a year?"

As for Liu Po ​​and Liu Tong, it is even more incredible.

King Liu naturally knew the two women. After Huang Jie greeted them, he chatted with them for a few words and then left.

Just this simple scene that Huang Jie thought was a big deal made Liu Tong completely change his view of this deserted school. Apart from other things, just looking at the connections coming in and out of this recording studio, can it be compared to going abroad?

When he went abroad, he was just a student from a better-off family, and he had to pass the language barrier first, but it was completely different here. Although she didn't want to and wouldn't use her mother's identity to show off, with this convenient identity, she would definitely be able to get in touch with singers and musicians more easily than others.

She went upstairs in a daze. She was still thinking about something when she looked up and saw Bian Lang coming out of the recording studio yawning, with Qin Linglan following behind him.

The two of them spoke loudly, and the entire empty corridor could hear them: "Bian Lang, anyway, what I mean is that we will record until you feel it is OK. If not, I am willing to postpone it to a later episode."

"Sister Lan, I'm not being picky, but don't you think it's a little off?" In fact, if it weren't for the original singer's filter, Qin Linglan's singing would be flawless. But Fan Xiaoxuan's voice is a little thick under Bian Lang's filter, so...

"Yes! I admit this myself, and I have figured out some clues, but I told you not to be angry."

"You said, I'm not that kind of stingy person!"

"You, Bian Bole, may have made a mistake this time. An old horse like me cannot sing the mature feeling in this song!"

As soon as these words came out, Bian Lang burst out laughing and said, "Sister Lan, you really hit the nail on the head! I failed this time, so I'll move you back a little bit. But you have to recommend me a suitable person for this song, as you are so familiar with this song..."

"Okay, then it's settled. Now that you are familiar with my voice and my current state, you can help me with the singing later. I will record it together this time!"

It was indeed a bit of a blind choice before, and I didn’t consider the issue of adaptability too much.

But the reason why some songs become classics is completely inseparable from the singer's interpretation.

For example, Gao Lingfeng, the original singer of "A Fire in Winter", did not make much of a splash, but was later made famous by Fei Xiang's singing on the Spring Festival Gala. And Huang Zhongkun, the original singer of Dick Cowboy's "How Much Love Can Come Back", is probably not well-known.

"Okay, give me two days, and you can help me find someone..."

The two were talking so excitedly that they didn't notice there were other people in the corridor. After they finished talking, they noticed four people standing at the stairs not far away.

Just as Bian Lang was about to say hello, he saw Huang Wei's little action.

After being pushed on the waist several times, Liu Po ​​went through some psychological struggles. He made up his mind and walked quickly towards Bian Lang: "Hello, Teacher Bian, Sister Lan, I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation just now, but can you let me give it a try?"

Bian Lang remembered this person. He had seen him at the recording site of "Summer of the Band" before. His name did appear on the list Liang Kuan gave him, but he also didn't know about it in detail. Moreover, asking Qin Linglan to introduce him was equivalent to giving a favor, which was really a bit difficult to deal with now.

But Qin Linglan was such a clear-headed person, she would give this favor to anyone, and she didn't have any must-have candidates in her mind. Now that someone had recommended themselves, she would just go with the flow and do a favor. If Bian Lang didn't think the person was suitable, she would still recommend him.

So she smiled and said to Bian Lang: "Bian Lang, let Xiaopo try. Her voice is brighter than mine and her age is just right."

Seeing this person giving him a way out, Bian Lang naturally followed suit: "Okay, let's go in and give it a try." After saying this, he looked at the girl next to Liu Po ​​who looked 80% like Liu Po, and then asked: "Sister Liu, this is your daughter, right?"

Before Liu Po ​​could remind him, Liu Tong excitedly and nervously introduced himself: "Hello, Teacher Bian...Hello, my name is Liu Tong. I am very honored to be your student..."

“Um…” Bian Lang never said he wanted to teach guitar, but at this moment he couldn’t say anything that would hurt the girl’s feelings: “Well, when the time comes, let’s go to Teacher Shi first…”

After getting over this somewhat awkward situation, Bian Lang brought a few people back to the recording studio. Liu Ziyang asked Bian Lang, "Did you understand what was said?"

"Let Liu Po ​​try."

Liu Ziyang first folded his hands and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Indeed, Liu Po's voice is brighter..." After that, he handed the lyrics to Liu Po, and Qin Linglan even came over and sang a few lines for her as a demonstration.

They were all professionals. After preparing for a few minutes, Liu Po ​​said OK, then cleared his throat and started singing.

After singing only four lines, Bian Lang raised his hand to interrupt and asked, "Sister Liu, is there a problem with your schedule?"

Liu Po, who originally thought that Bian Lang was going to give him some guidance, was delighted at first, then after thinking it over in his mind, he replied, "I'll confirm it with my agent, but I promise it will not affect the album plan."

Bian Lang's album release time is very casual now, he doesn't want to deliberately pursue a specific time point, and King Liu hasn't finished recording yet: "Okay, then you should make arrangements as soon as possible. While everyone is here today, you can also communicate with Brother Liu and see his progress."

When King Liu knew about this, he also lamented that the Creator was really playing tricks on him. He wanted to partner with Qin Linglan, but he didn't expect that Liu Po ​​would be the one to replace him. But Liu Po ​​is also a talented person. If nothing unexpected happens, after this song is released, the word "quasi" in front of the first line should be removed.

This mess lasted for the whole afternoon, and then a few people made an appointment to have a meal in the cafeteria and then went to the stadium to prepare for the evening party.

The party was not open to the public, and although it was meant to show off, it was more like leaving some valuable images for the school's opening ceremony. So the performance format was not very strict, and because the attendees were either students or people from the industry, many people went on stage to show off their skills, and didn't care about the popularity of the songs at all...

At the same time, tonight is the day when the third episode of Summer of the Band will be broadcast. Bian Lang and his friends plan to finish watching Summer of the Band first and then start performing.

Hong Ke volunteered to be the host, otherwise anyone could have been invited to make a guest appearance.

All the members of the Rolling Stone band were present as well, except for those who were performing, including Chen Xuan and Liu Huzhou, who sang folk songs, and the two youngest members, Tan Xiao and Zhang Qin.

Chen Xuan and Liu Huzhou felt a little uneasy because after Dong Youbian left, although they still had performances and Bian Lang still gave what he should give, they always felt that there was no one to protect them. Tonight, when they came over and saw that Bian Lang was free, Liu Huzhou took the opportunity to come over and chat with Bian Lang: "Brother Lang, I still want to polish the album. Can you take some time to help me take a look!"

"Okay, that's no problem. You should talk to Lao Tan. LAB's performances should be scheduled. If you feel like you can't handle it alone, just tell me who you want to work with."

Liu Huzhou actually had this idea a long time ago, but the previous wave of the Rolling Stones was too loud, and he was afraid that he, a folk singer, would not be able to handle it.

Now that Bian Lang had spoken, he said directly: "I think it's Lao Tan, didn't you give him a few folk songs?"

"Okay! I'll write a song for you two to do together, and then we can sing it together."

Bian Lang was indeed inspired, because at that moment the lyrics of a song popped up in his mind: "The sky and the quiet sea, in love in the eyes of the stars..."

After the disbandment of Chunqiu, Yang Meng released his second solo album "Glory Under the Mountain", one of the songs in which was "Blue Year One", a collaboration between him and Chen Hongyu.
