Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 850 Why bother yourself and torture us?

"Fuck you!" Du Yunxi held back his anger but could only continue to have ineffective interactions with fans.

The Magic City musicians began to laugh secretly in the background:

"This guy certainly didn't expect that the rock fans didn't leave, did he?"

"Since we're here, how can we have fun and see who's going to leave? We don't want to leave either, do we want to wait to see the joke?"

"That's not necessarily the case. We are laughing at the joke, but others may not think they are the joke..."

Laughing, the lead singer Wenlong suddenly said seriously: "It's fun this time, but what will that old dog Zhu Wen do to us next? Do you brothers have any plans?"

"Heh... Let him do whatever he wants. Anyway, he only has copyright as one trick. If I start over again..." The drummer also spoke quickly, but he shut up halfway through.

Wenlong looked at his brothers, and finally said with a bit of disappointment: "Zhu Wen was able to let those who can't sing into the music festival this time, who knows if he can let us warm up for the popular stars next time. If he wants to leave this time, then we'll leave!"

"But what about our songs? Are you willing to give them up?"

Facing the question from the lead guitarist, Wenlong waved his hands and said, "The old must go before the new can come. There's nothing wrong with starting over. Besides, we don't know how long the Magic Disc can last. Who knows, in a few years, this matter will be resolved naturally..."

Even the most persistent Wenlong has come to terms with it now, so naturally the others have no objections.

As they were talking, they had already walked to the band's rest area.

Seeing Zhu Wen waiting there with a sneer on his face, the people from the Demon City didn't have any special reaction to him. They were all waiting for Zhu Wen to start cursing, and then they would just leave.

But Zhu Wen did not play by the rules this time. Although his face looked devoid of human touch, his words still sounded human: "Thank you for your hard work. This time everyone is fighting for our rock industry, and it seems to be working well. Let's all go to rest early..."

The faces that the people in the Demon City had prepared for failed to turn around in the end, but since the seeds of leaving have already sprouted, even if you extinguish them now, they will continue to take root and sprout in a few days!

After greeting Zhu Wen, Wenlong saw Zhu Wei drinking with a group of musicians.

He thought about it and called his brothers to go over together. Without any intention of being shy, he greeted Zhu Wei in front of the Magic Disc staff: "You did a great job yesterday! It's been a long time since I've seen such a cool female lead singer..."

"Wenlong? You and the Rolling Stones aren't..." Zhu Wei wasn't drunk, but this matter was indeed very confusing to her as she had just joined the Rolling Stones.

"Kaizi and I talked it over a long time ago. His choice was right. If he hadn't left, maybe we wouldn't have realized it now. Some things can't be blamed entirely on external forces. We have a lot of problems ourselves... Before I listened to "Fade To Black", I thought the Rolling Stones became popular because they could stir up trouble...

But after listening to "Fade To Black", I feel like I'm a fucking baby! Bian Lang is really awesome, this song is one of the best in the world!"

Wenlong lit a cigarette, picked up the can of Rolling Stone Craft Beer and took a sip. After a burp, he laughed happily and said, "The beer Kaizi sent is really delicious!"

Zhu Wei now knew where this Rolling Stone Craft Beer, which she had never seen before, came from, and she also felt the emotion in Wenlong's words. But there were some things she could only think about but didn't dare to say...

If they want Mo Cheng to be willing to sacrifice his life and go all the way west to Chuncheng, then that should be discussed with Pan Jianhu. It would be best if she, a small fry, doesn't say a word.

But Wenlong was not one to keep quiet, so he continued, "If we go to Rolling Stone, can Bian Lang return Kaizi to us?"

He didn't say this behind the current bassist's back, because he knew that this future bassist would not leave BJ.

The bassist smiled generously and said, "I won't go with you, but if we come back to perform, even if Bian Lang wants to play bass for you, I won't agree!"

He said this when he realized that some people were not doing well, because like many musicians from the original Earth, he still had a job in BJ that he had to stick to.

"Old Liao, why the hell are you thinking so beautifully? Is it reliable that Bian Lang plays the bass for us?"

Before the joke could even be continued, Zhu Wei suddenly said, "If Brother Kaizi can't do it, what do you think of me?"

Wenlong was just a little stunned, then he reacted: "Yes, you are still the bassist!"

But after saying this, they both felt awkward. It seemed a little inappropriate to talk about this at this time.

Wenlong was the quickest to react and changed the subject, "Can Xia Yuxi get along with you guys?"

Zhu Wei naturally and smoothly continued the topic: "Not bad, I don't know what he was like before, but now it seems that he has a good relationship with everyone!"

"Hey, if I really go, then the three enemies on the show will be reunited!"

After hearing this, Zhu Wei remembered that Wenlong was a substitute for "The One and Only Band" and had a fight with Xia Yuxi at that time.

"Hey, if you two go to Summer in Music together next year, then..."

"Impossible, the Rolling Stones can't possibly participate. Xia Yuxi is the lead singer of Hedgehog. This year, Bian Lang will definitely lead the team to win the championship. If the champion team goes next year, that would be a bit of bullying, wouldn't it?"

When the drummer said that, everyone started laughing.

At this moment, the sound of accompaniment instruments on Du Yunxi's stage finally rang out.

Everyone present was in the circle, and they were much more sensitive to the prelude than the fans. When they heard the prelude, except for a few people who had heard the rehearsal, everyone frowned.

"No Escape! Damn! This dude is awesome!"

"Is he paying tribute to the Rolling Stones? He's..."

"Fuck, why didn't we think of this song then?"

"Hey, hey, hey, how can he sing this song?"

Wenlong sneered and waited and saw what would happen.

Of course, there are some rock music fans with sharp ears. After listening to it, they all felt that the style of painting was a bit wrong:
"He, he, he also wants to pay tribute to Bian Lang? Could he be a friendly army?" "Uh... if you can't beat him, then join him? Isn't this guy scared silly?"

"Oh wow, it seems like it was a good decision not to leave. I really want to know how well this guy can sing."

Before going on stage, Du Yunxi's agent had already discussed with Zhu Wen and asked him to lip sync directly without doing half-open mic or anything like that, so there would be no risk!
Anyway, it's just cutting leeks, and the people who cut them won't ask whether the leeks are willing or not.

But when the prelude ended, a tuneless voice came out from the speakers: "Why is there still a ball of fire in your eyes..."

The rhythm and beat are not right!
How do I describe it? I think it was a mistake, but it also felt like there was some design involved. But if you want to say it was an adaptation, it doesn’t seem to be rap…

But the musicians in the band's lounge reacted immediately: "Oh my god, Master Li is too old to see the buttons on the mixing console clearly, right?"

"Lao Li, you are my idol! You actually turned off the playback of this bitch, so fucking funny!"

"Don't slander Teacher Li. Teacher Li is just sleepy!"

"No, this should be a specially adapted live version. Teacher Li's amazing performance will definitely put him on the same level as Liu Ziyang and Lao Jin in the future!"

The band members didn't even need to report this to music director Li Jihong, he was planning to do it himself.

He deleted the audio source, then questioned whether someone had touched his computer. In the end, the volunteer took the blame, and no one could find fault with this matter.

Although this incident will definitely affect his personal reputation in the future, people who understand will naturally think about the cause and effect of the matter. Although Li Jihong does not have a great sense of mission to revitalize Chinese rock, he is also quite clear about the crux of the overall decline of the Chinese music scene.

Capital has no bottom line when it comes to interests, and traffic stars are even more shameless.

If this continues, serious musicians won't be able to make money, but these monsters will find all kinds of ways to get fans to pay. If this continues, the music industry will only get worse!

The producer directly writes songs with AI, and then uses AI to synthesize the sound source. There is no problem in releasing a few songs a day. If the account is successfully created, they will start to recharge the platform and strive to create phenomenal brainwashing songs.

It doesn't matter if it falls on deaf ears. All they paid was a line of instructions and a few cents of electricity!

With such efficiency and speed in making money, serious musicians no longer have the energy to continue to follow the old ways and calm down to polish their works. Even if they don't want to go along with the industry, they are completely desperate about it.

Then there was a talent gap, and slowly, the music scene was no longer the music scene!

Li Jihong is a man with some aspirations, so after such a commotion on stage, why can't he, who is behind the scenes, be allowed to make a mistake once?
The most interesting thing about this is that Du Yunxi's earphones have sound at this time. Not only the original sound, but also Li Jihong's instructions: "Okay, keep the rhythm of reading the words."

So Du Yunxi, who was concentrating on the in-ear monitor, didn't pay any attention to what was coming out of the speakers. He even felt very good about himself and started interacting with the audience!

Many rock fans in the first row are feeling a bit complicated right now!

You may want to scold this guy for his awful singing, but his attitude is so decent that you can't find any fault with him, especially when he is singing live with the mic on, at the cost of ruining his own future!
Even if you can't stand it, it's still much better than those lip-synced ones!

This is something that fans really recognize...

So, when Du Yunxi saw the rock fans giving him a thumbs up, it wasn’t an illusion, nor was it the fans’ ridicule, but everyone felt from the bottom of their hearts that this guy was really brave!

As for Zhu Wen, who was totally unaware of the situation, he was extremely sad. Anyway, there was no possibility of repairing the relationship with Du Yunxi, so it didn't matter how much more material was added.

Du Yunxi's agent was also helpless and desperate. He looked at the stage and didn't even have the heart to shake his head or sigh.

This step was wrong, and then there were more mistakes. He shouldn't have been so obsessed as to let Du Yunxi cross over to make money. It's hard to say whether this will affect his acting salary!
"Hurry up and try to clear your name. This matter cannot end like this. We should not die completely without any chance!"

Moreover, he looked at Du Yunxi who still didn't notice anything wrong on the stage, and he really couldn't figure it out: "Does he really have a big heart, or is he just going to risk it all and become a comedian?"

Thinking of this, he felt that his idea seemed feasible!

As for Du Yunxi's fans, the emotions were even more complicated. Even if they had never heard the original version of "Can't Escape", they also couldn't understand how Du Yunxi sang it!
Then, if we put these two things together, namely, the singing is indeed unpleasant to the ear and the singing is really daring, it seems that the character of Du Yunxi is really interesting.

"Is Yunxi making fun of himself?"

"I think he really worked hard for us fans, but this performance is a bit hard to judge!"

"Why bother yourself and torture us!"

There are quite a few fans of Du Yunxi who have this last thought. Although they have filters, it does not mean that they have no aesthetic standards.

Especially after listening to so many bands and singing Bian Lang's works for most of the day.

Even if one has the least appreciation ability, after having listened to Bian Lang's songs for so long, one will now have some ability to distinguish!
They can allow lip-syncing because what they want is probably the emotional value of everyone chasing stars together.

But this is too big!

It feels like they finish eating seafood, and then immediately bring a bowl of poop to the table for you to smell, and ask you to give a five-star rating. This is extremely disgusting!
But when it came to the chorus, they couldn't understand what was going on when they heard a bunch of rock fans in the audience singing along as if they were possessed!
"I know what you're thinking. You want to have hope. I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm really not as good as you imagined... I want you to be different from me, to give you a sun and fantasy, but you refuse and tell me that you've changed a little bit now..."

They thought that the rock fans would leave en masse before Du Yunxi went on stage, that the rock fans would boo collectively, and that the rock fans would shout out the names of other bands like they did.

The only thing I didn’t expect was that Du Yunxi’s first live performance would have a large group of rock fans singing along in the audience!

"Who are the fans?"

When the interlude came, a few of Du Yunxi's fans couldn't help themselves and asked the rock fans curiously: "Brother, shouldn't you look down on Du Yunxi? Why are you helping to sing the chorus?"

"Well, we really don't like his singing. But this song is a good one. We may not be his fans, but we are fans of this song!"

After the explanation, the rock fan gave a metal salute to the stage and then led the crowd in shouting, "Bian Lang is awesome!"
