Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 809: Front, Back, Left, Right

Bian Lang and Xie Xinyan had very sharp ears. They turned back to look when the conversation was halfway through.

Although the M fan was outnumbered, he was not afraid of the stage at all. After seeing Bian Lang, he added: "Bian Lang, you are also short-sighted. Why do you write songs for those who are out of date? For our M group brothers..."

Bian Lang and Xie Xinyan looked at each other, then both raised their middle fingers and said to the M fan, "It's none of your business!"

The artists from Yinghu were dumbfounded. Only Zhang Yaohong clapped and cheered: "It's none of your business!"

The crab fans around this M fan who originally wanted to curse him started laughing after seeing this scene.

Seeing the state of Xie Xinyan and Bian Lang, the depressed mood just now was slightly relieved. Not to mention what kind of temper Bian Lang has, Xie Xinyan was not a good-tempered person when he was young and popular. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to temporarily leave the music scene when he was at the peak of his popularity and become an actor and a cook at the same time.

Now as I grow older and gain more experience, I may become more restrained, but the fundamental things cannot be changed.

If he is really just a coward and lets everyone swallow this big green-headed fly, then there is no point in making a comeback. It would be a joke if he returned to the throne after being away for half a lifetime.
Therefore, everyone is looking forward to what kind of reversal will happen after this!
This episode certainly did not affect the bunch of fresh faces on the stage who had already started posing. They were all encouraged by their father M before the show started, and their minds were full of scenes of stepping on superstars to get to the top and letting Bian Lang take the initiative to send songs to break into the mainland idol market.

I have forgotten everything else!
At this moment, the sound engineer at the mixing desk, who was wearing a hat, complained to Chu Xiwen behind him: "I'm really going to be killed by you this time. You cut off the microphone, turn on and off the microphones, and then restore the sound. If I lose my job, I have old people and young children at home..."

Chu Xiwen stepped forward and held his shoulder, saying in a joking tone: "It was M's father who asked you to cut off the microphone. If you want to put it more seriously, it can be considered a performance accident. This is Xinyan's concert..."

"That's all within your calculations, Sister Xiwen. Sigh! Why are you guys fighting with each other and making things difficult for a tuner like me?"

"Don't worry, you are mine, I won't let you lose your job. If Xinyan's show goes well, we'll add more shows, and then we'll start planning a national tour. With Biansheng's help, you don't have to worry about the new song..."

Hearing this, the tuner sighed again, took out the mask he had prepared in his pocket and put it on, covering half of his face tightly. He was not worried about the fans, but he was afraid that if something happened next, someone would take a picture of his face and post it online, and he would be caught and beaten by the fans when he went out in the future!
When Chu Xiwen saw this action, she squeezed his shoulders hard again, then stood back with her hands folded and watched.

After the 25-second prelude and group dance, Hu Yanchen, the handsome member of the M group, took the center position and sang along with the rhythm. But when the song came out from the speakers, it seemed that everyone's heartbeat skipped a beat.

"What the hell is this? Is this singing in tune?"

"It's fine if it's not in tune, it's not even the rhythm!"

"Hahahaha! They can't even sing the lyrics clearly, and they're just panting. This is killing me, seriously! And you still have the nerve to be a guest for King Xie?"

"The tuner must be given a chicken drumstick! He just turned off the backing track. Isn't this going to kill these young boys in the boy band?"

"It's so funny, King Krabs did this on purpose!"

Until now, the members of the boy band still haven't realized that the background music has been muted, so there is really no hope for them.

But what can they do now? Can they imitate those real singing masters and stop to communicate with the tuner: "Teacher, please put down the accompaniment again, this is not my voice!"

So I had to adjust my mindset quickly and start singing seriously instead of just lip syncing.

The others were somewhat relieved. After all, Hu Yanchen had already helped them to clear the big thunder. If they were more careful, they could not be worse than him.

At this moment, M's face has become uglier than a bitter gourd. Although lip-syncing when singing and dancing for boy bands and girl bands is already a practice tacitly accepted by the industry, fans also said that they can fully understand it.

But being completely exposed in such a high-profile scene in such a way was the first time in Bian Lang's two lifetimes that he had personally experienced it. He felt that this was more emotional than the two people who held the microphone upside down, because at least they could hear it, and now this one was probably heard by the stutterer, so he could curse smoothly.

Mr. M quickly stood up and walked towards the mixing console.

However, Huang Liansheng, who had already understood everything, grabbed his arm and stopped him: "Wait, what's the point of you going now?"

"Huang Liansheng, I'm going to fuck you!" M's dad also understood that he was being tricked by a conspiracy.

Huang Liansheng also understood that he was being used as a gun, but he had to at least maintain his dignity in front of the other party.

He tipped off M's father in private. On the surface, he had to stand on whichever side Bian Lang stood on. Who told Zhang Yaohong that he needed Bian Lang's songs now? Although he said before that Zhang Yaohong wouldn't care, as a manager, the performance and income of the songs before "Songs of the Past" were all real. He knew how much he could earn. How could he not care?
As for why he wants to please everyone, it is because of his ability that has kept him successful in this circle. If someone else were to do this, it would not be possible.

"Are you going to turn off the power now? Can you afford the consequences? This is Yanzai's comeback concert. If you really turn off the power, the boss won't let you off easily. Either you call a halt directly, then do you want to keep the reputation of your M group?" After a scolding, M's father was finally persuaded to calm down.

Moreover, he deliberately raised his voice loudly, which meant that he wanted Bian Lang and Xie Xinyan to hear it. No matter what the real situation was behind the scenes, he had to put on a good show and not give others the opportunity to question him.

"Let me go. Even if I don't cause any trouble, I will stop the rest of the performance!"

Huang Liansheng sneered, and then continued: "Even if you don't say it, the people in the M group know that they can't continue. Be generous, Xiwen must be at the headquarters, and if you go there, you can only quarrel with her and make a fool of our Yinghu to outsiders!"

After hearing this, Mr. M finally calmed down completely.

Indeed, in addition to the artists from Yinghu, there were also some singers and artists from other companies who were close to Xie Xinyan and came to show their support. This made them laugh and embarrassed Yinghu. If the boss really got angry, it would be difficult to clean up the mess. In the end, it was only a loss of face for the M group, and it did not affect the entire Yinghu Entertainment. It would be easier for him to deal with it later.

Thinking of this, he sighed heavily, glanced towards the red gate, and then sat back in his seat unwillingly.

Although the people on the stage knew that they had been tricked, they had also seen a lot of big scenes and knew that they couldn't stop now. Anyway, with their current popularity and fan loyalty, the company would naturally guide fans to whitewash them. As long as it was not a principled mistake, it was not a big deal in their eyes.

Anyway, the worst Hu Yanchen was already on stage, and after they were prepared, it was impossible for him to be worse than him. When the fourth member, who was also the vocalist of the team, started singing, his standard white voice, the pitch and the rhythm were all accurate, which saved a little face.

The few dozen fans at the scene were so excited that they burst into tears, shouting that their brother had it so hard!
Xie Xinyan's fans watched the fun and found it quite joyful.

Nothing unexpected happened. When the song and dance ended, although the guys in Group M looked unhappy, they still forced themselves to smile and bow to express their gratitude under the leadership of the group leader, and invited Xie Xinyan to return to the stage again.

This time, Xie Xinyan did not go up there alone, he also pulled Bian Lang directly onto the stage.

After seeing Xie Xinyan become a Rolling Stones fan at Hatter's Wembley concert, his fans began to pay attention to Bian Lang. After experiencing the flash mob of "Huaxiaren", they all regarded Bian Lang as a benefactor who helped Xie Xinyan to make a comeback.

So now when the two of them came on stage, no one didn't recognize him. The cheers were getting louder and louder, and some crab fans also reached out their hands and gave a metal salute!

"That's right! Bian Lang should be the guest of honor!"

"Roar, roar, roar! Side wave! Side wave! Side wave!"

"Rock 'n' roll never dies!"

Seeing the rekindled enthusiasm at the scene almost approaching the opening, the artists and singers who had never experienced the atmosphere of a Rolling Stones live performance looked at each other in bewilderment.

After all, before, I only read news online and heard from friends in the circle about how great the Rolling Stones’ live performances were and how popular Bian Lang was. Now that I have experienced it myself, the feeling is naturally different.

In a sense, Hong Kong has its own system in place for society, management and culture. The locals are not particularly xenophobic, but they do support local stars more in the entertainment sector, that's for sure.

So, when foreign singers and stars appear as singing guests and gain such popularity, how could the local artists present not be surprised, especially since Bian Lang is what they call a mainlander.

After Xie Xinyan came on stage and took the microphone, he still ignored the members of Group M who had not yet left the stage, and began to interact with the fans: "I can stand in Hung Hom today and restart my musical journey. In addition to thanking you for your support, the person I need to thank most is Bian Lang!" After that, Xie Xinyan bowed deeply to Bian Lang.

Bian Lang quickly stepped forward to support Xie Xinyan, then took the microphone and said, "Thank you for the invitation from King Crab, which gave me the opportunity to meet everyone before the Rolling Stones' tour lands in Hong Kong."

This was equivalent to announcing the tour in advance, and there was another commotion at the scene:
"The Rolling Stones are coming to Hong Kong for a tour? Oh, then I must come!"

"Are the Rolling Stones really coming? That's great. I was originally planning to go to the mainland for the next Rolling Stones Music Festival..."

Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more heated, the fantasy of the M group to step on the king and be licked by Bian Lang was completely shattered. However, they were in Hong Kong, after all, they heard more than experienced, so how could they know how Bian Lang beat all kinds of idols in the mainland.

In addition, they were just ignored and left on the stage, and the young and popular ones began to feel unconvinced.

Team leader Luo Yiming also saw what the few people were thinking. Thinking about it, from their debut till now, except for occasionally because of the script effects of some variety shows, they had never really suffered such humiliation.

He immediately turned on the microphone and said to Bian Lang: "Teacher Bian, this is Hong Kong. We prefer Cantonese or English songs. What if the Rolling Stones come to tour and do not meet your expectations?"

Bian Lang became excited when he heard this. He originally thought that after being tricked, these young men would behave themselves and not cause any more trouble. Who would have thought that they would encounter someone who would fight back?

Bian Lang turned his head and asked seriously: "If the level of your performance just now represents the aesthetic standards of Hong Kong music fans, then I have nothing to say..."

When asked this question, Luo Weiming's face turned red and he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a long time. In addition, he was met with various disapproval and ridicule from the fans at the scene, so he turned off the microphone and prepared to ask everyone to leave the stage.

But Hu Yanchen, who was the worst victim, refused to take it. He ignored the leader's signal and directly started to speak on the microphone: "Teacher Bian, do you think we call you teacher because you deserve our respect? No, it's just because you are older than us. We are 20 years old on average. The future of the entertainment industry belongs to us. People like you who only immerse themselves in the comfort zone of rock and roll will not be sought after by young people, at least not the young people in Hong Kong!"

As soon as these words came out, before Bian Lang could respond, all kinds of shouting and insults came flooding in. M's father saw it but didn't try to stop it. He could just say a few words back and then incite the fans to whitewash him by speaking the truth and being true to his nature.

Unlike those old foxes in the circle, they only say one thing to one person and another thing to another person, and they have no personality at all!

After hearing this, Bian Lang really didn't know how to refute it. He guessed that the most suitable career for this guy was to be a lecturer. He definitely had the motivation to inspire others, but he didn't know how strong he was.

"Come on, don't waste everyone's time. Give me an electric guitar and let me, an old man, sing a song for you and see if I can outshine you young people..."

As soon as he finished speaking, bassist Adong handed him a Fender. Bian Lang said nothing, put on his straps and walked towards the red gate where the band was.

During this process, the band stage, which was originally lower than the normal stage height, began to rise slowly until it was level with the main stage and stopped rising.

This was not specially prepared for Bian Lang, because the first and second halves of Xie Xinyan's concert had different themes. The first half was basically old songs or pop songs, highlighting him personally. The second half was rock style, so the band also had to appear with Bian Lang.

Bian Lang went over and high-fived a few people one by one. After casually testing the sound to make sure there was no problem, he stood directly in front of the microphone stand brought by the staff.

Without any warning or interaction, Bian Lang simply plucked the strings and produced a highly distorted lead note, bringing the atmosphere back to the theme of the music.

The fans whose ears had just been polluted by the magic sounds of the M group, felt their adrenaline surge again when they heard the high-distortion electric guitar opening. As they waited for the drums and bass to come in, their heartbeats also began to move again to the rhythm.

After the four-bar prelude ended and the fans' emotions were fermenting endlessly, Bian Lang took his right hand off the guitar, pointed at the M members who were still standing on the stage and began to sing: "I'm too low-key, which makes the world too lonely, isn't it... I'm too high-profile, which offends your noble doctrines... It even makes me feverish..."
