Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 884Hurricane 2000
Roma fans were shocked and furious, while music fans who weren't really fans were simply amazed: "They can actually do this? These must be the most organized music fans ever!"

Some of the Chinese music fans present commented, "I used to think those idols' die-hard fans were pretty fierce, but now, looking at the fans of Rolling Stones, I feel like the fighting power of those die-hard fans is declining!"

This scene left Tang Dafeng and the others, who were already on stage, completely dumbfounded. Their prepared opening remarks were completely useless, or rather, Tang Dafeng simply forgot his lines in the face of this situation.

He could only manage a few polite words before starting his performance. After all, seeing TIFO at a rock concert wasn't the work of the city's home team's fans, and those two teams were scheduled to compete for third and fourth place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome the next day.

This scene is almost surreal!
Looking at the surging waves of people below TIFO, Tang Da felt his Dao heart almost shatter and wanted to jump into the sea to experience what it was like for himself.

As for the music fans who were forcibly pulled into TIFO, it was a completely new experience for them as well.

Especially for those music fans who are surrounded by the stage and cannot see it, the experience of feeling the atmosphere of the live music scene entirely through hearing gives them a fresh sense of excitement.

Some young couples were listening to music and kissing passionately under this giant TIFO – it was incredibly exciting!

After several drone pilots captured the scene from the air, they couldn't help but sigh at the bewildered looks of the Rome fans who weren't at TIFO: "You can only see this kind of classic scene at a Rolling Stones concert!"

"Yeah, what kind of thing is this? It's something no one could have imagined! Look at these Rome music fans, aren't they both angry and resentful?"

"Isn't that obvious? If Beijing Guoan were to play Shanghai Shenhua tomorrow, and the Rolling Stones were having an outdoor performance outside the Workers' Stadium today, with Shanghai Shenhua's TIFO being played there, could you handle it?"

"I can't stand it! Ugh! Lang Ge can't possibly be a Shenhua fan, he must be a Yunnan provincial team fan!"

The two pilots were absolutely right; the Roma fans at the scene were indeed both angry and resentful. They were angry at the Juventus fans' blatant and unbridled behavior, and resentful that Bian Lang wasn't a Roma fan!
As for the Juventus players mixed in with the regular team, while they were celebrating, they were also making jokes:
"It's such a shame Ibrahimovic didn't come!"

"There's no other way, he has to play tomorrow, so only we injured players who are suspended can come!"

That's right, the Juventus players who appeared with the Juventus fans were all either suspended due to cards or injured. Even those of them who don't like rock music chose to come and support the fans after listening to Bian Lang's new song for them.

They believe that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bian Lang will likely be the most famous Juventus fan in the coming years!
Besides, some of them are genuine rock fans and Rolling Stones enthusiasts...

Davis, who was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, is a fan of the Rolling Stones. He's just not as active online as Ibrahimovic, otherwise he would have already asked Bian Lang to write a song for the team.

Furthermore, in his opinion, Juventus should simply change their team anthem altogether. Having Bian Lang commission a custom version would definitely sound much better than the current one!
After Ibrahimovic successfully sent a message to Bian Lang online, he regretted not being more proactive. So, even though he won't be playing today or tomorrow, he will lead the team tonight as the biggest star among these players!

Although they couldn't understand the lyrics of the band Da Feng, the rhythm and beat of metal music allowed these athletes, whose hormone levels were abnormal, to experience the charm of rock and roll.

Bian Lang, who was preparing backstage, was at a loss for words when he saw this unexpected scene!
He'd never experienced anything like this in his life, and it would be a shame not to give the fans something in return. However, the song dedicated to Juventus definitely wouldn't be performed tonight; this was a consensus reached between Bian Lang, Agnelli, and the fan representatives. All three agreed that the song's premiere had to be on the pitch!

As for how to implement this seemingly absurd plan on the road, Agnelli and his team will naturally figure it out; there's no need for Bian Lang to worry about it!
Seeing that Bian Lang looked somewhat troubled, Da Yong immediately chimed in, "How about we change the opening song?"

"What should we change to?" Bian Lang had the same idea, but he had no idea what song to change to. Now that Da Yong had spoken up, he would leave the problem to Da Yong to consider.

"Dayong, stop showing off. You don't even have any ideas of your own, yet you're still offering suggestions!" Huang Kai was a pro at roasting Dayong. And he almost always hit the nail on the head!

But Da Yong was clearly well-prepared today, and Huang Kai's wish to gain the upper hand in a verbal battle was ultimately impossible to achieve: "The English version of 'Believe in Yourself,' that song is so catchy!"

Bian Lang was surprised that Da Yong had remembered this song, but if it was this one, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

After "Believe in Yourself" became a huge hit, Bian Lang asked the Xinghai Orchestra to record the complete orchestral accompaniment for "Hurricane 2000" so he could use it whenever he wanted.

I wonder if Tao Xingyue and Lunzi have practiced together. Tao Xingyue and Bian Lang aren't worried, after all, it was because of this song that she saw Dong Shuxian and Bian Lang's collaboration that she had the idea of ​​leaving classical music and switching to rock.

Therefore, it's impossible that she hadn't practiced this song. In fact, given her current status as a member of the Rock Records group, she might be even more familiar with it than Dong Shuxian was back then.

But it's hard to say about Lunzi. After all, he came after Kapok, and Bian Lang doesn't know if this guy has any training. If he hasn't, things might get a bit tricky today.

If the wheel isn't an option, Bian Lang would prefer to move the premiere of this song to an indoor venue with a live orchestra. After all, that's the right way to experience this song!

I wonder how many Chinese music fans got to know the Scorpions because of "Believe in Yourself," and then saw that classic video of their indoor live performance of "Hurricane 2000."

This became the introductory piece for many Chinese music fans regarding the combination of classical and rock music!

To be honest, anyone who hadn't heard of it before would be absolutely shocked when they saw that video for the first time. And the more inside the circle you are, the more shocked you'll be!

Moreover, this was under the influence of the cultural trends in China at the time...

Although this isn't the Scorpions' most popular song in China, the moment the intro starts, it's estimated that a whole generation will be on the edge of their seats.

If we follow the current trend of starting a new account on Xiaohongshu, then the title of Scorpion's first post should be "You may not know me, but you must have heard the intro to my song."

"Okay, you guys are fine. I'll go ask Lunzi and Tao Xingyue."

Tao Xingyue's answer was exactly what Bian Lang expected. She had not only practiced, but she practiced frequently, truly achieving constant improvement through practice: "Don't worry, Professor Dong's level is higher than mine, but that might not be the case with this song!" "Alright, you divide the parts yourself and go coordinate with Olaf on the accompaniment points. I'll go ask Lunzi. It would be a bit funny if he hadn't practiced and was just using a horn as a mascot!"

The result of Lunzi was somewhat unexpected by Bian Lang. Lunzi not only practiced, but also practiced solos on two different types of instruments: the trombone and the Fruger.

He just hadn't played this song with a band before, so he was a little unsure of himself. Of course, Tao Xingyue hadn't played with the Rolling Stones either, but she was confident in her skills and proficiency.

Wheels are always just a little bit inferior in this respect!
However, Bian Lang was willing to give Lunzi this chance: "Okay, go talk to Olaf. If it works out, great; if not, don't force it! We can reschedule the performance."

Sensing that Bian Lang's words implied consideration for him, Lunzi gritted his teeth and insisted, "Don't worry, I can handle it!"

Although Bian Lang had spoken up, he wouldn't necessarily insist unless Olaf, the music director, gave his approval. After all, this wasn't a small live performance, and everyone's hard work deserved the utmost respect.

However, in the end, Olaf felt there was no problem: "If Michelin has any problems, I will find a way. I asked him to use the Fruger so that the sound of the solo will have a very obvious difference in timbre from the recorded accompaniment!"

"Does Wheel know that's what you call him?" Bian Lang, after realizing that Michelin was referring to Wheel, managed to suppress the urge to laugh and replied to Olaf.

"Don't you think this name is cute? He may not know it, but I plan to tell Kapok about this nickname!"

"Olaf, you've gone astray now!"

Wheel was never his real name, and now they're giving him an even more outrageous nickname. I wonder if Wheel can accept that.

However, it's hard to say whether kapok is more acceptable than wheels.

After the pleasant decision to change the opening song, Bian Lang began to mentally prepare what he would say when he went on stage.

As for tonight's guest, Panama, he was also amazed by TIFO, this new form of fan interaction. Ivo even climbed down from the front of the barrier into the base of TIFO to experience this novel experience with Juventus fans.

But when the Rolling Stones went on stage, he regretted it a little, because not being able to see what was happening on stage made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Tang Dafeng and his group were just at the beginning; if they didn't see the main event, it wasn't a big deal. But it was different for Rolling Stones, the main event; everyone came for them.

So at that moment, some music fans in the TIFO center started shouting for the show to end.

But who would have thought that Bian Lang would suddenly say on stage, "Don't put away the TIFO yet, let's finish singing this first song!"

Hearing Bian Lang say this, the music fans naturally followed suit, and the slight disappointment they felt at not being able to see Rolling Stone and Bian Lang immediately disappeared!
When Ivo heard this, his instinctive reaction was, "Huh? Does this mean they're changing the song?" They had participated in the rehearsals and knew the order of the Rolling Stones' songs.

However, the fans' unexpected actions clearly disrupted the Rolling Stones' previous plans, so the Rolling Stones may very well change the song, or it may very well be a new song!
When Bian Lang said the song title, "Hurricane 2000," Yiwo's instinctive reaction was, "What the heck is this? Is it really a new song?"

Meanwhile, the entire team was secretly thinking, "We'll get used to it. If they didn't change the songs, it wouldn't be Rolling Stones!"

Then Bian Lang said in a passionate voice, "Thank you Juventus fans, I really like this surprise. I hope you can all get moving in a bit! Although it might sound a bit provocative, I still want to say this: consider it a rehearsal for tomorrow's game! Show some passion!"

After shouting that line, Bian Lang gave up the center position under the stage spotlight, and Tao Xingyue, dressed in leather and carrying a violin, appeared in front of everyone.

The moment the bow unleashed a storm on the strings, the audience members who could see the stage gasped in amazement:
"The prelude to a violin solo, or...?"

"The recording included an orchestral accompaniment, but you could tell the person on stage was the concertmaster; he truly brought out the feel of a rock violin!"

Tao Xingyue was the lead vocalist, but Liu Jiayun's cooperation was also indispensable, much like the guitar and bass... Of course, the wheel's Fruger horn also played its own distinctive part.

Instead of being an absolute accessory in the traditional background music!
Bian Lang doesn't have the smooth, gliding dance moves of Sylvester Stallone, the lead singer of Scorpions, but he can make a living just by his looks and can interact with his fans.

The Roma fans, who were on the verge of exploding because of Bian Lang's words, stopped themselves from turning away immediately when they saw the charismatic Bian Lang on the stage.

As Da Yong's cymbals rang out, the pitch of both the accompaniment and Tao Xingyue's live solo rose to another level!
Blindfolded music fans inside TIFO walked around bewildered, asking, "Outside... what's going on? What's happening on stage? Why does it feel like there's a whole symphony orchestra here?"

Of course, Bian Lang wouldn't tell them the answer; they could only rely on their own ears to experience the shock that the music brought them at that moment.

Although it was clearly a classical instrumental intro, the addition of rock elements made it capable of creating a wave of excitement at the venue. This was especially true for fans whose view was obscured by the TIFO and who were unaware of what was happening on stage.

They could only respond to the Rolling Stones' music with their body movements!
Watching the TIFO display pulsate abnormally, Roma fans were filled with fear: "Will the Rolling Stones stage this tomorrow? If that's the atmosphere, is this still our home ground?"

"Damn this melody, this rhythm, it's perfect for a war song... What should we do?"

This is what they call being blinded by concern. This situation, which is impossible even for someone with a brain, is now planting an ominous seed in the hearts of music fans in Rome!
