Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 792: Soft Advertising and Hard Eating
After an empty beat, the double hammer drums sounded like thunder and the electric guitar was distorted like lightning, which completely opened the prelude to the long interlude. The two lead singers nodded their heads and moved to both sides to the rhythm, giving the C position to Dili.

Bian Dili, who hadn't performed a solo on a new song for a long time, walked directly to the front of the stage, pressed his body's center of gravity to the lowest, and pulled the body of the guitar back and forth to play. He felt as if he was in the center of a storm, but his feet were firmly gripping the ground, fighting the storm with notes.

When hearing this, what came to Bian Lang's mind was Ao Ge's pair of dazzlingly white long legs on the stage, swaying from Hung Hom all the way to the Taipei Exhibition Center...

This interlude is like an army marching forward bravely, with the powerful bass drum leading the way and the sharp strings harvesting the music. Wherever the army goes, no grass grows, and the emotions of all the fans are harvested completely!

Finally, at the chaotic climax, Di Li, Luo Lin, Dayong and the bassist opened their mouths at the same time, singing in even harmony: "La la la... la la... la... la la la..."

Throwing the guitar behind her, Yang Meng brushed back her long hair, lifted the microphone stand, stepped on the return sound, raised her head and sang: "So I can let you stay... So I can wait for your answer..."

Di Li walked over while rubbing the strings, leaning against Yang Meng, playing and swaying to the rhythm.

Yang Meng started to sing at this time. He took off his sunglasses and threw them to the audience. Then he bent over and sang 5 sets of high notes loudly: "So I can stop wandering, and I can go home with you... Alas..."

The ending note soared directly to G5. After putting down the microphone stand, Yang Meng brought the guitar back to the front, strummed the strings and began to interact with the fans in the audience.

The rest of the people were still singing in harmony: "La la la... la la... la... la la la..."

Then the bassist, who had never had much presence, took the center position and started a solo with the bass. Since the recording of "Summer of the Band", various musicians have shown their solos, but this is the first time for the bassist.

More than 8% of the people present were professional music fans. As soon as this charming bass solo came out, those who knew the music started to scream. It was completely different from the performance of "The One and Only Band" where everyone was confused and asked this and that.

Huang Kai shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, while Bian Lang thought of his third brother.

Just like Acura, he went all the way from Hung Hom to the Taipei Exhibition Center, then cut his long hair, and finally joined Le Xia with Brother Hui. He can be regarded as a living fossil in the Chinese rock scene.

Thinking of his third brother, he naturally thought of "Sewing Machine Band"... "Camel, you have to give me some strength! I'll take care of all the scripts in your life!"

It wasn't until Niu Boyi's voice sounded in front that Bian Lang came to his senses.

Niu Bo asked, "Teacher Luo Lin, excuse me, how old are you this year?"

Luo Lin had just caught his breath. When he heard the question, he smiled and replied cleverly, "You and I have a year together!"

Luo Lin was not joking when he said this. Although the two had never dealt with each other before, they were both from the alleys of old BJ and had drunk together during the first two recording sessions. When they knew they were the same age, everyone at the table, Niu Bo, who looked older, started to mock him mercilessly.

In fact, it's not Niu Boyi's fault. As a host, he doesn't look old among people of the same age. It's just that Luo Lin is too weird. He is almost 50 years old but now looks like he is in his early 30s.

When Bian Lang learned the news, the image that appeared in his mind was Jimmy Lin and the little black fat man.

Niu Boyi had never expected this, and he didn't expect that Luo Lin would drag him into this so directly.

In the end, he didn't say a word, but just spread his hands and made a helpless expression to the stage and the audience.

Then all those who previously thought that Rowling could play ancient idol roles were collectively petrified!

"Niu Boyi is almost 50, Luo Lin is the same age as him!"

"If this person were to endorse skin care products, he would be a natural saint!"

"I'm almost 50, but my voice is still so good. How do I maintain it?"

Bian Langhe also asked this question, and Luo Lin answered him: "I have some free time..."

Luo Lin could never have imagined that the first hot search in his life would be asking him how to take care of his skin!
As for Yang Meng's stunning appearance, it can only be said that Bian Lang's previous adjustments were too timely. If she had been given the hedgehog, she might have been overwhelmed by Bian Lang's halo.

Many producers in the circle have already imagined that after this episode is broadcast, this female lead singer, who had little presence before, will become popular.

Feimos even directly invited her: "Dream, I would like to invite you and Compass to be the guest performers at Hatter's next concert!"

Yang Meng was a little dizzy from this sudden happiness, and when she heard this she was still standing on the stage holding a microphone and grinning foolishly.

When he returned to the backstage and saw Bian Lang, Yang Meng, who was still excited, suddenly sobered up: "Oh, Brother Lang, I'm sorry, I threw your sunglasses off the stage! Send me the link and I'll buy you new ones!"

"Um, it's sponsored... I'll go to the front and ask everyone for it later... I have to wear it and show off a little bit anyway!"

Bian Lang even specifically asked Liang Kuan if he could throw it to the fans, and Liang Kuan’s reply was: “You must wear it and look cool for two minutes!”

There is no need to emphasize the word "showing off" for Bian Lang. As long as the sunglasses are on his nose, he is showing off.

If it was just a general sponsorship, it would be fine and compensation would be paid if any agreement was breached. However, when this brand signed the contract, it also agreed with Bian Lang on a long-term donation campaign to help students in mountainous areas of Yunnan Province.

Just for this, we have to do a good job of promoting it for others!
So when the big screen went up, Bian Lang didn't even wait for the lights to start shouting before picking up the microphone and saying to the audience, "Hey, who picked up the pair of sunglasses that Yang Meng just threw?"

The whole audience was in an uproar when these words were spoken!
"Hmm? Can't bear to part with a pair of sunglasses?"

"What is Bian Lang doing?"

"Hahahaha! What's going on?"

Only the brand staff present were so happy that they almost went crazy. Even if the fans didn't go up, the effect of editing this shot in would definitely exceed expectations!

Bian Lang didn't waste any more words and continued to explain the whole story: "This is sponsored by a brand. I just lent it to Yang Meng. So the fan who found it, please lend it to me for two minutes, and I'll give it to you later!"

After hearing this somewhat speechless explanation, the audience burst into laughter. The people from the brand were so happy that they were willing to pay more money to force the program team to edit in the video just for Bian Lang's words, and they would arrange for all kinds of hot searches.

Originally they thought it was a soft advertisement, but Bian Lang insisted on using it, so they were naturally happy to cooperate to the end!
When the goddess who collaborated with Hedgehog was introduced as Xie Minzhi, there was another small commotion at the scene. After all, people who listen to rock music don't think highly of popular singers, let alone those in the circle. And there was no Xie Minzhi's cheering group at the scene, so the hot scene when Xie Minzhi appeared in the past did not appear.

But everyone knows why the production team did this, but a few people still have expectations. After all, Hedgehog has Bian Lang in charge, and Bian Lang's ability to train people is obvious to all.

But when the song title appeared and the two new instruments of Bian Lang and Strauss were unveiled, the small sounds of surprise at the scene seemed to say, "It looks like there really is a surprise."

When Xie Minzhi sang after being trained by Bian Lang, even those who were familiar with Xie Minzhi were surprised: "Is this really her voice?"

After the performance, the cheers and screams from the audience also made Xie Minzhi, who was used to acting, shed sincere tears.

Lu Ming, who was in the audience, was stunned: "Xie Minzhi's real voice is so amazing? It will definitely be a big hit when the show airs."

Xie Minzhi's agent is already thinking about how to buy this song from Rolling Stone after the recording is completed.

It is a fact that the entire industry accepts that no matter how popular a top star is, he or she does not have a masterpiece that can be recognized by the public. But after listening to this song, he felt that Xie Minzhi was capable of breaking this barrier.

Even the group of people in the viewing room were amazed: "This is good, not as bad as we thought!"

“Haha, with Bian Lang here, he can become famous even if you give him a dog!”

Even when she got backstage, Xie Minzhi was still in an extremely excited mood:

"Brother Lang, do the fans really recognize me?"

"I was a little shaky when I sang at the beginning, luckily I had Ding Ding to support me from behind!"

"I really want to thank you for this. It's been a long time since I've performed live with the mic on. It feels great!"

Indeed, she has experienced bigger and more enthusiastic performances before. But facing almost no fans in the audience, she still received such great recognition. This feeling is like making a new debut!
Chen Xuan, who was standing at the back, found it strange, but the most important thing for her at the moment was to prepare for the next performance. Although it was not easy to catch up with the hedgehog, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep herself in the same state as in the rehearsal.

She felt that she was different from all the other performers. Although there was competition between the bands, they were not as concerned about gains and losses as she was. Most of the other female singers who came to help sing were also for traffic, but they were definitely not as eager to take this opportunity to become popular as she was. Moreover, she hoped that she would perform well this time so that the Rolling Stones would pay attention to her future development.

Wu Li has left, and no one knows who her next agent will be. She can only use her strength and performance to prove her value in Rolling Stone!
As she was thinking, she was distracted until Tu Ling patted her from behind: "Xuanzi, get ready! Don't be too stressed. You should be glad that it wasn't Brother Lang who was singing just now, otherwise it would be even harder for us to handle that scene!"

"Yes, I know. Thank you, Brother Tu Ling. Let's go to Si Gu for a drink tonight. I'll treat..."

"OK, but only if we don't make any mistakes later..."

Chen Xuan nodded, adjusted her Xiangyunsha cheongsam, took a few deep breaths and waited for the curtain in front to rise.

……

Sitting on a high stool, Chen Xuan put one foot on the horizontal bar and the other foot's tiptoe touched the ground. On the stage with only backlight, her silhouette and the three big characters "Yiyaya" written vertically on the big screen behind her formed a beautiful picture!
Then a male voice came from the microphone: "1, 2, 3, 4!"

Then, several sets of spotlights on the stage converged in two directions, instantly illuminating Tu Ling behind the drum shield and Chen Xuan on the high stool. At the same time, the sound of the piano and the two people's singing came out at the same time:

"The dew wets the flowers, baa ...

The drizzle kissed my skirt and wet it...

The singing voice fell into the beautiful hair, babbling...

The birds are drunk in the lake, babbling..."

Looking at Chen Xuan, whose body was swaying like a singing diva under the lights, Lao Jiang really couldn't connect the person on the stage with the "Fried Chicken Girl".

"The Rolling Stones are really a factory that makes stars. Anyone who is picked by Bian Lang is really a success."

When the interlude accompanied by Chen Xuan's Cantonese recitation came out, the audience was amazed again:
"Haha, when Tu Ling and the others were on the magic disc, they looked like a few refugees, but today they look like artists!"

"I haven't been to other music variety shows, but I think Summer of the Band is truly the best! There can't be any other music variety show in China that can compare to this one."

“When playing in a band, there’s really no place for pop singers!”

This time, everyone's attitude was completely different from the previous two times. Seeing the popularity of the show, their fame increased, and their performance fees naturally rose, and their desire to win naturally rose. Everyone wanted to see how far they could go!

So everyone was busy with their own rehearsals this time and didn't have much time and energy to care about other people's performances. As a result, many people didn't see what the final performance of Haigui was like.

Lao Zhao and Dai Qing were chatting as they watched: "Lao Zhao, compared to the one we recorded before, Summer of the Band is a real band variety show!"

"Who said it wasn't? When I was there, I saw that the camera was too big. Coming here is purely free to express myself. It's just that there are too many cameras. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable."

"Bian Lang really put a lot of thought into composing songs for others. And look at the music director, the sound director, and the team on stage...Do you need anyone else in your band? I'll join you to sing harmony. How about taking me with you to have fun together?"

Although this is a joke, it is actually the voice of several other female singers.

Du Yujuan herself thought so too, but she was more concerned about whether the Rolling Stones were still willing to sign her. She was willing to accept such conditions to continue making music, even if she had to quarrel with Du Juan every day.

She didn't agree before because of Pan Jianhu's relationship. Mainly because Rolling Stone was just a studio under Nanyin at that time, she was a person who was afraid of trouble, and Du Juan was said to be a tigress, so...

But after experiencing it personally over the past few days, looking at the status of these bands under the Rolling Stones, and the creative talent of Bian Lang that she could not understand at all, she was really moved!
