Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 776: Dreams

Without any introduction, Bian Lang nodded to a few people, and then the sound of Dayong beating drumsticks was heard.

After four "da da da" sounds, Di Li and Strauss started to sweep the rhythm with the 12 strings. After two measures, Strauss switched to the 6-string electric piano, and a silky down-and-down glissando broke the shackles on everyone's ears.

This combination, which was completely inconsistent with the Rolling Stones' usual guitarist configuration, caused people in the audience to start whispering. They knew that the training was not enough, so they let Strauss and Bian Lang satisfy their desire to be lead guitarists.

Those who don't know will have a lot of thoughts, such as raising Strauss's status.

But to be honest, watching the big blonde beauty performing solo on the stage is quite pleasing to the eye. Many men present were fantasizing that a certain part of their body could become the fretboard in someone else's hand.

I guess the feeling of tapping, sliding and kneading must be unique.

But when the feeling of this song began to emerge, those with good musical sense could already tell: "Isn't this the sequel to the last improvisation of Hedgehog in Summer of the Band?"

The little witch was afraid of affecting everyone's listening experience, so she didn't dare to say anything. She quickly used her second account to announce her discovery to the public in the comment section.

It was only about 10 minutes away from the end of "Summer of the Band", and the lingering sound of the song was still lingering among the crowd. After being reminded by the little witch, they reacted immediately.

"Oh my god, it's true! This is all planned. Where is this place?"

"I'm so envious and jealous. Why don't the Rolling Stones continue their tours instead of doing this kind of shoddy performances?"

"Didn't the little witch say that the Rolling Stone Music School is opening? How do I sign up for this school? If I become a poor student who will never graduate, will I be able to get lots of performances for free?"

"There are talented people upstairs! Let's go together!"

"Remember these two people's IDs and report them to Rolling Stone!"

Looking at those people in the audience, especially the students, they were completely stunned by this scene!

What is this? Is this the legendary first class of the new semester? It's a live teaching by the Rolling Stones. Where else can you find such treatment except at the Rolling Stones Music School?

Liu Tong's eyes were burning with anger. Her love for guitar had something to do with the Rolling Stones, but it was mainly because she watched a lot of foreign music videos with her mother. She found that the foreign female musicians who played musical instruments were all so handsome. Now she saw a live foreign female musician on the stage with her own eyes. It was a double shock!

She thinks that kind of powerful and wild beauty is not seen in female artists in other fields. As a second-generation star, she knows too well that it is difficult for pure vocal singers like her mother to become singers now and it will be even more difficult in the future.

She wants to follow this path, but she won't repeat her mother's path.

After Strauss played for about thirty seconds, her eyes were no longer fixed on the guitar in her hands. Instead, she looked up at Bian Lang with a smile on her face, and smoothly handed over the task of lead vocals to Bian Lang with just a glance.

The following edge waves are no worse than those of Strauss. The seemingly unintentional vibrato is like the evening breeze under the California sunset blending into your heart.

The sunset, the road, the old Mercedes, the temptation of the "devil" and the smell of tobacco are all mixed into a solo by Bian Lang. Although there are no lyrics, the phrase "Welcome to the Hotel California" seems to be ready to come out!
There was no applause or exclamations from the audience, but the shocking reward numbers in the Little Witch’s live broadcast room were enough to explain everything!
After sharpening his skills, he sat on a high stool and quietly strummed the 12-string guitar, as if he didn't exist. But those who know the subject know that without him, the two lead guitarists who had already started competing in playing the guitar would never be so comfortable.

That's right, at this moment Bian Lang and Strauss have already started fighting. The natural back and forth between them gives people the feeling that the souls of the two people transformed through the notes have been blended into a whole, and then oh, it keeps rising, which is indispensable for a performance!

All of this shows the broad-mindedness of Bian Lang.

There is a contempt chain in music, and there is also a contempt chain within the band. In China, the lead singer is tacitly regarded as the number one by the audience, otherwise there would not be such remarks as there will be no more Black Panther after Dou Wei.

But this is not necessarily the case abroad. Night Wish has had a changing number of lead singers, but their goatee remains the same, yet they have remained popular for more than 20 years.

The current Water Blue Star is basically in the same tune. Whenever the lead singer leaves, the band is basically over. A big problem leading to the band's disbanding is that the lead singer refuses to give other musicians the opportunity to perform on stage, and in the end, all of them fall out.

When it comes to the Rolling Stones, every musician has his or her own outstanding solo work, and Di Li even held his own small concert at the New Year's Eve party of the small broken station.

Looking at the scene today, he didn't sing a single line, and the lazy Di Li was sitting on a high stool in the C position to resist the camera, and the most outstanding solo was given to Strauss.

Is it that Bian Lang himself doesn’t have the ability to play the piano?

If this were to be said out loud, Zhu Wen would probably stand on Bian Lang's side.

Of course, not everyone tunes their ears to the electric guitar. Ding Ding, Kong Liang and the little drummer all focus on Dayong. It is no exaggeration to say that the drums in this ending section can definitely be used as a solo.

The constantly changing rhythm plays more than just a role in controlling the rhythm in this section. Especially when the two guitarists played the long notes, the fills that flowed out inadvertently made Lao Pan praise: "It's a bit like a master!"

When this pure performance ended neatly with "thump, thump, thump", many people still felt that they had not finished, as if the past two and a half minutes had only passed in a few breaths!
After playing this segment, the three guitarists of the Rolling Stones hugged each other. They all seemed very happy. They just had a lot of fun playing the main song.

The students were touched much more by the performance than if they sang "Shame". If they sang "Shame", the feelings they had towards the Rolling Stones would definitely be more like idols, but after they performed a piece of pure music, the feelings they had towards the Rolling Stones were more like artists.

Neither is good or bad, but the latter will make students have more respect for these teachers in the future!
Bian Lang returned to the microphone stand, cleared his throat and said to the audience, "You should all be able to hear that this part is the same song as the one on Summer of the Band. The one on the show was the prelude, and this part is the outro. Give us some more time, and we will definitely complete this song!"

After hearing this, some netizens in Little Witch’s live studio actually kowtowed to Rolling Stone on their phones: “I just hope I can listen to the full version of this song in my lifetime!”

After various rounds of applause from the audience, Bian Lang made an invitation gesture to Guo Sichu in the audience, and then said: "Now, please welcome another lead singer of our Rolling Stones band to the stage!" This meant nothing to people inside the Rolling Stones, but to the outside world it was a nuclear bomb!
The pop queen Guo Sichu is joining the Rolling Stones as the second lead singer. This news is too unexpected and a little hard to accept for rock fans, pop fans, Rolling Stones fans and Guo Sichu's die-hard fans.

Although Guo Sichu and the Rolling Stones have been flirting with each other for a long time, and Guo Sichu would occasionally make a guest appearance to sing backing vocals, this was already the limit of the imagination of fans of both sides.

But when they heard Bian Lang announce the news himself and saw Guo Sichu coming on stage in his battle robe, most rock fans were ecstatic: "Wow! So this is the full lineup of the Rolling Stones! Recruiting the queen, the Rolling Stones are so good at this. From now on, no one dares to disobey the pop and rock music!"

Guo Sichu's fans who rushed into the Little Witch's live studio were also ecstatic when they saw Guo Sichu coming on stage: "Congratulations to Queen Chu for ascending the throne, and to Xiaolang Bian as the king, and to the Rolling Stones as a dowry and included in the harem!"

From then on, the fans of the Rolling Stones and Guo Sichu's die-hard fans argued over this affiliation issue for several years!

Dong Shuxian, who was in the audience, felt quite uncomfortable when he saw this scene.

Similarly, after coming on stage, Guo Sichu only said one sentence: "Please take care of me!" Then he turned around and snapped his fingers at Dayong. Then the three guitarists stepped back and followed Dayong's drum beats.

There is no need to elaborate on The Cranberries, they play alternative rock with a Celtic folk melody, which is translated into Chinese as Ireland's Second Hand Rose!

No rebuttal will be accepted regarding the influence on Wang Jingwen!
So, the roots are still the roots of punk, and the rhythm at the beginning makes the fans just want to dance along!
Bian Lang, who was strumming, felt his eyes blurry, and the stage had already changed to the 94 Woodstock performance of the Cranberries. In addition to the crowds of people, there were also bikini hot pants girls rising and falling on the waves.

When he turned around, Guo Sichu had changed into a man with short hair and was wearing a black backless dress. She was spinning around on the stage holding a microphone with a wire.

"Oh, my life is changing everyday, In every possible way..."

"And oh, my dreams, it's never quite as it seems, Never quite as it seems."

As soon as Guo Sichu said these two sentences, the Rolling Stones and Guo Sichu's fans automatically stopped fighting and reached a temporary strategic unity!

"The Queen's voice is straight to the Gothic genre. This is definitely the last piece of the puzzle for the Rolling Stones to impact the world rock music scene!"

"This is the prelude to Queen Chu's internationalization! With the support of the Rolling Stones' musicality, this time it's really stable!"

We are all used to it, and we all know that it is very difficult for Chinese modern music to go abroad, but now this Rolling Stones band with two lead singers can definitely make a splash!
“I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more, Because it came from you.”
Guo Sichu's voice foundation is better than Wang Jingwen's, and her vocal range is wider. To be more specific, she is a female version of Wu Qingfeng!
The effect of singing at this time is close to the recording version of "Dreams". As for the live version of "Dreams", the videos that Bian Lang has seen at concerts and music festivals do not show a particularly perfect version, which is much worse than "zombie".

A friend once joked that when Dorothy sang "zombie", it was as if she was possessed by Uncle Nine and the audience turned into zombies.

“And then I open up and see, the person falling here is me, A different way to be.” (I opened my heart and eyes and found myself at a loss as to where to go)

When singing this part, Guo Sichu turned around and glanced at Bian Lang, with a hint of affection in his eyes, as if testing him.

Then they both sang together: "Ah, la da ahAh, la da ahLaLa"

The original Dorothy's chanting used as an interlude is so unorthodox that it seems to float to the sky without a trace. Without a good foundation in bel canto, one cannot sing out the enchanting aura of dust removal. As a result, many cover singers are accused of being out of tune when they sing this part.

Guo Sichu had a foundation in opera singing, but in the end he took the initiative to take several lessons from Li Linqing before he was able to learn it.

Now the male voice of Bian Lang, two octaves lower, has been added to support the sound. Although it lacks the fairy spirit, the catchy feeling is fully maximized!

Liang Kuan and Chen Shuting, who were sitting together in the audience, were laughing playfully at the moment. After looking at each other, Liang Kuan leaned over slightly and whispered, "Do you think it's possible?"

Chen Shuting pretended not to understand and said affirmatively: "Why not? The Rolling Stones already have a fan base abroad. We can go on tour together next year, and then Bian Lang can plan an album for Chuchu. The road will be set. But we have to sing English songs..."

Seeing that Chen Shuting didn't respond, Liang Kuan pretended to be stupid and said, "There's nothing we can do. Chinese is too difficult for foreigners. Let's just do something simple... Let's talk to Bian Lang and come up with a few more songs and hand them over to DGM. Although we are a rock band, we must have sustained popularity. Let's try to see if we can get a small performance."

When asked about this, Chen Shuting stopped pretending: "Indeed, the popularity cannot be stopped. Moreover, DGM has registered for the Grammy Awards this year. With the cooperation of PR, the Rolling Stones will definitely go to North America."

When it comes to the Grammy Awards, both of them are looking forward to it!
As for the audience, they had different thoughts. Those who were just listening to the songs were already daydreaming, while those who wanted to gossip started comparing Dong Youbian and Guo Sichu.

Although not many people have heard of "Dream Man", most of them were present today. If we ignore other things and just talk about singing skills, Guo Sichu is the winner.

But the lyrics of "Dream Man" are different from those of "Dreams". At that time, Dong Youbian and Bian Lang officially broke the window paper, so the emotional intensity of Guo Sichu and Dong Youbian cannot be compared.

"Why are you competing over this song?"

As soon as Mu Mian finished speaking, Guo Sichu's voice came again, as if responding: "I want more impossible to ignore, Impossible to ignore." (I want to know more, I can't pretend not to know, pretend not to know)

"It's really troublesome to fall in love with someone like Brother Lang!" Mu Mian's thoughts were also the thoughts of many people in the audience.

His friends all hope that Bian Lang’s relationship can be stable and happy, but when they think about his uncanny creative ability and dazzling achievements, as well as his impeccable looks, they all feel that this seems a bit far-fetched!

Right now it’s just in China and the music industry. If this network of contacts expands further, it will be like Tang Monk entering the Kingdom of Daughters…
