Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 794: Whalesong

The two female lead singers are still not clearly visible under the naked-eye 3D effect of the whales swimming in the sea, so many people feel that the singing is coming from the mouth of the whale!
As for those who didn’t know what black metal was before, they were even more confused and thought: “Ahhh! If whales could speak, would they have this accent?”

Before, those who were foreigners like Cohen were not that shocked. Even the half-Rolling Stones-made Face and Hedgehog were just so-so. But when it came to Exodus, this black brother was really unable to remain calm: "WOW! This style of metal music is very niche even in Europe. There is actually... actually a band in China that is good at this style?"

Bob next to him thought that this guy was going to be cold and cruel all the time. He even started to stutter when he heard this. He patted his shoulder and said, "You don't know yet, this band has a female lead singer, right?"

"What? You're not kidding me, are you, Bob?" Cohen blurted out this reflexively, but thinking about it, this was originally a cooperation match between goddesses, one of the two voices must be a female voice, and there seemed to be no need for Bob to tease him.

So before Bob could respond, he added, "Then she must be an amazing lead singer!"

Bob nodded approvingly, then stretched out his right hand and waved it, saying, "She is also a very professional manicurist..."

Cohen: “EMMM!”

As for those who came for the first time and didn't know much about the industry, their words fully reflected their professionalism: "Isn't Summer of Music known as a live all-open mic concert? This one with a sound card doesn't count, right?"

"For the sake of effect, I think it's acceptable. It's the same as the electronic microphone. Aren't they used for hip-hop? How many people can sing with their original voice?"

"This is different, isn't it? What's the difference between that and audio editing?"

"There's a huge difference. The sound correction can improve the pitch, but this is just a sound effect, so it's fine to use the microphone all the way!"

Listening to the two idiots' serious discussion, Lu Ming quickly clapped his hands to interrupt them, then pointed at the stage, signaling them to watch the performance seriously.

As the band that Xie Minzhi first collaborated with, he certainly knew whether Green Algae’s voice was real or fake. Now he just wanted to wait and see the surprised expressions of the two after the truth was revealed!

“Making wishes that I will, find my herd tomorrow, 52 Hertz of heartbreak, 52 Hertz of heartache…” (Looking forward to tomorrow, I will be able to find my people, Hertz of heartache…)
“Pacific deep is the loneliness that, drowned the child…”
The two people's singing stopped abruptly here, and everyone in the audience roared together: "Drowned the child..."

The music also returned to heavy music from the whistle and box guitar that had been going on just now!

At the same time, the naked eye 3D effect disappeared, showing the full picture of the band. Previously, there was only a picture of a whale wandering alone in the deep sea, but after it was changed to the big screen at the back, there were more companions...

Then everyone sang together: "Hey, come along, let's sing songs that no one'll ever understand..." (Hey, come with me, sing the songs that will never reach the ears of our people)
It was just like a group of brothers who had already dominated the tribe meeting their long-lost brothers, so sincere and warm!
Then the two female lead singers in the front row turned around and sang to the others: "Blessing me I'll always be, Proud of what I am, Proud of what I am..." (Bless me, I wish I can always be proud of my own differences...)
Then the two of them swung the electric guitars on their backs in front of them, followed the rhythm of other musicians, and started to dance in front of the stage with their long hair swinging!

If it were two grown men, the impact on the audience might be slightly less, but one is in his early 20s and looks young and beautiful, and the other is in her 40s but looks like a mature queen. The destructive power is directly multiplied.

The old people in the rock circle were all delighted when they saw Du Yujuan, and many memories began to come to mind. They all sighed: "This voice is still so powerful, Tiger, if you two had been together at that time, maybe..."

The commander was interrupted by the rafters before he could finish his words: "If I had followed Brother Tiger, I would definitely not be standing on the stage in this state now. I would have been worn out long ago and my spiritual energy is gone!"

Pan Jianhu wanted to refute it, but he held back in the end. After all, he really thought so!

Last year, Bian Lang invited Du Yujuan to join him but failed. He actually thought about the past and realized that he owed her something, but he didn't regret it! He felt that if the person beside him was Du Yujuan instead of Du Juan, this relatively stable and harmonious family state would not be maintained until now.

For no apparent reason, he recalled a line from a song by Bian Lang: "I fell in love with a wild horse, but there is no grassland in my home!"

Turning our attention to the viewing room, no one jumped up and played the air dance like those drama-loving variety show stars in the domestic entertainment industry, but there was plenty of applause and cheers.

Even Liu Yao stood up from the sofa on the joystick and walked over to talk to Bian Lang: "Now that you have found this sister, don't let her go. Sister Juanzi, I'll go talk to her. It would be a shame if such a great voice didn't continue to shine on the stage!"

"No need. Sister Hu told me yesterday. As long as Sister Yujuan is willing, I will definitely sign it!"

"Yeah! This song is also very exciting. To be honest, I really didn't expect you to bring in black metal. If I can't do it later..."

"Leather Pants, what's your energy? Did we invite you here just to listen to you criticize the show?" Huang Kai spoke quickly and was not afraid of Liu Yao. Unlike the others, although they felt uncomfortable after hearing what he said, they did not retort directly.

"I'm just telling the truth!" Liu Yao felt that he had no bad intentions, so he felt justified in retorting!

Bian Lang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "This song is just about a story about a whale. It doesn't bother anyone! At most, it reminds me of the relationship between rock music and the entire pop music scene!"

When Bian Lang said this, everyone who heard it woke up as if from a dream!

Xie Minzhi is now so grateful that she wants to kowtow to Bian Lang. If she still cooperates with Exodus, she is confident that the effect will be far worse than the current one!

If someone really interprets this meaning by then, her competitors will use these two points to nail her to the pillar of shame!
Especially the latter one, if it is serious, it will really be criticized to the point of losing a large number of fans. Everyone is not against cross-border traffic, but they really don’t like the character setting of being a whore and pretending to be a saint.

Especially when it comes to rock music to divide traffic, if this was said in the past, people would definitely laugh their heads off.

She would not be like Xia Yuxi, who was like taking the wrong medicine, paid the penalty out of her own pocket, and then plunged headfirst into the Rolling Stone business!

"Chasing waves by myself, in the ocean of endless sorrow...drowned the child..."

The main song played again. After the two people beside Lu Ming saw the people and equipment clearly, they shook their heads and exclaimed: "This is unscientific!"

They dared to talk about using sound cards, but they themselves did not believe that Summer of the Band was lip-syncing. Moreover, as producers, they could not understand how Summer of the Band could dig out so many unique voices in a Chinese music scene that they believed was already supported by Internet celebrity songs.

Bian Lang actually created this kind of work that is not very popular in the market, but has a lot of style and musicality. Lu Ming was glad that Bian Lang changed the person at that time! If he really followed his modification method, compared with this version, he knew that it would be completely unbearable.

With Xie Minzhi's voice, even if Bian Lang were to sing it, she really couldn't sing this kind of song! Although it's possible to practice a black voice, it's definitely not something that can be done in a short time...

But when he saw the two people around him with constipated faces, he felt better again!
When the second chorus started, although there were no metal fans at the scene shaking their heads, there were already halfway through the audience doing metal salutes and following the rhythm!

"Hey, Come along, Let's sing songs that no one'll ever understand..."

Cohen sang along directly. As a black man, this line really brought back some bad memories of his childhood in the white circle. He believed that if there was such a song to encourage him at that time, then his entire teenage years might have been more colorful.

He thought of the character that Bian Lang had created for him, and at that moment his eyes were filled with tears.

From there, he sang along until the end: "Blessing me I'll always be, Proud of what I am, Proud of what I am..."

This song is only three and a half minutes long, which is the shortest song recorded so far in "Summer of the Band". It is also the song that has left the audience with the most unsatisfied feeling so far!

When the lights on the stage returned to normal, everyone discovered that the two female lead singers' faces were covered in sweat. When Niu Bo asked a question, everyone was looking forward to what kind of voice would answer.

"Although old friends already know your unique skills, Green Algae, there are many new friends here today, so we still need you to show them off!"

Green Algae was also not vague. After catching his breath, he first greeted everyone in his normal voice, and then immediately switched to dead voice and said: "Thank you Teacher Bian Lang for giving us this song! Let us no longer be that lonely whale!"

She just said this on her own, and it had nothing to do with anyone else. But when everyone heard it, they all felt that it was true!

Then, the idea that Bian Lang had just mentioned in the preparation room was figured out by someone!

"Yes, this is how black metal works in the entire rock circle, especially in China. This is also the case with rock music in the entire Chinese music scene, so I hope that after Summer of the Band is broadcast, more Chinese music fans will be able to appreciate what truly good music is!"

Liu Ziyang said this sincerely, and now he is not afraid of offending anyone. He has a completely "love whoever you want" attitude!

Niu Boyi didn't dare to respond, but Du Yujuan, who was holding the microphone on the stage, did: "Zi Yang, thank you Rolling Stone, thank you to the program team and Bian Lang for your contribution to Chinese rock. Just being able to go through this makes all my years of playing rock music worthwhile."

“And you, the fans who have always loved rock music!”

Several members of the Klein band who were waiting backstage were also deeply moved after listening to the show. They did not receive as much attention as other dark horse bands in the beginning, but they have steadily made it to the present. However, because of "Summer of the Band", the bars where they often perform locally have been packed recently.

It’s not like they haven’t been invited to participate in the show before, but they were just supporting roles. There was no way the band could be the protagonist like this time.

The key point is that from their own feelings now, Hedgehog is a royal family that is truly convincing, and there is no inside story. There is definitely a factor of fame, but everyone understands this. Now the thoughts of several people are very pure. They definitely want to win, but they really don’t care much about the ranking. They just really want to leave a few more works on this stage.

Where can they find such an awesome team to serve them after leaving "Summer of the Band"?!

Tao Xiaoyu and they have a good understanding of each other, and a British rock song is also a very prominent presence in this year's "Summer of the Band".

Watching lead singer Wei Fei standing on the stage in British style and singing the lyrics with a chilly maritime flavor, the melody in Bian Lang's mind automatically began to form: "Please don't put your life in the hands, Of a Rock n Roll band, Who'll throw it all away..."

Ever since Bian Lang began to consciously and actively rewrite songs, it is rare that the works of bands he had forgotten would suddenly appear in his mind.

So he immediately took out his phone and quickly typed on the memo: "Oasis "Don't Look Back In Anger"..."

Huang Kai, who was very familiar with his movements, had already begun to think in his mind: "This band is going to take off."

……

The simultaneous appearance of Joystick and Liu Yao later was interpreted by some rock fans many years later as Liu Yao's official reconciliation with the rock community.

When asked about the person involved, Li Hao specifically said: "The two people our generation should be most grateful to for playing rock music are Liu Yao and Bian Lang. Liu Yao made us persist despite our anger and jealousy, and then we waited for Bian Lang to come!"

The last band to perform with guitar was New Pants, and of course they sang "Hand Tractor Ski" in collaboration with Huang Wei.

As the group that has worked together the longest, the tacit understanding between them is really obvious to all. After discussing with everyone, Yang made some minor changes to the arrangement, and Bian Lang also thought it sounded good.

When Niu Boyi announced the voting rankings, New Pants took third place without any surprise or joy, and the second place was Joystick.

Exodus is amazing, but it may be due to aesthetic differences and language issues that they are ranked second to last. The third to last is Klein, which may also be due to language issues.

As for the remaining bands, Niu Bo kept them a secret and said they would be announced in the next episode.

Now not only the audience was dissatisfied, but even the viewing room was filled with all kinds of Chinese curses.

"Is this interesting? It's understandable that they want to whet the audience's appetite, but they are hiding it from us just to keep us awake, right?"

"Who is the last one? It's really frustrating!"
