Rock and Roll: Glorious Years

The staff at Weibo's backend were completely bewildered by the reports: "Are these people really stupid or just incredibly stubborn? They dare to do this..." Without even needing to report it to their superiors, they immediately started banning the accounts one by one!

The little witch in front of the computer screen was now looking at the Weibo posts that had previously infuriated her, refreshing the page and taking screenshots, while letting out a giggle!

"Go ahead and curse, the more you curse, the better! We'll see how you all die soon enough!"

Just a few minutes later, a series of official media outlets reposted the Weibo post from the General Political Department's Art Troupe.

Sima Nan's supporters panicked. Once they realized the truth, they frantically tried to delete their previous comments, only to find that their accounts had been banned…

Sima Nan, who was just overjoyed by the rising popularity, now realizes he's in trouble and is preparing to delete the video and run away when he discovers his account has been banned!

After witnessing this series of actions, Chen Shuting laughed arrogantly and joked with Bian Lang, "Bian Lang, don't tell me you, this rich second-generation, have connections above you. Otherwise, I'll really have to sell myself into the Bian family!"

"Sister Chen, it can't be that serious! I don't know what happened either..."

As the two were chatting and laughing, Chen Shuting's phone rang. Seeing the words "internal number" displayed on the screen, Chen Shuting had a strong premonition that made her feel a little lost.

After letting out a breath and adjusting her mindset, she felt a little giddy after finishing the call.

"I never imagined I, Chen Shuting, would be performing on CCTV with a rock band!"

Seeing her ecstatic expression, Bian Lang asked, "What's wrong, Sister Chen? What's got you so infatuated?"

"Notify the band members that we will be attending rehearsals and recording for the Army Day gala next week. It will premiere on CCTV-7 on Army Day."

"Wow, the General Political Department's Art Troupe is really ruthless, they went straight to CCTV! That's perfect, the album will be recorded in Beijing in one go, you tell Olaf not to bother with any more trouble, just go to Beijing." This news gave Bian Lang, who had been in deep trouble recently, a sense of relief.

After all, it's CCTV. He had only ever heard of it in his past life, seen it, but never actually been on CCTV-7. This achievement is probably something that no one in the entire rock music scene combined could have accomplished in his past life!

"Hehe, Old Cui, I've really made you proud this time!" Thinking to himself, Bian Lang habitually started humming a song.

"I don't want to leave, I don't want to exist, I don't want to live too realistically..."

"I want to leave, I want to exist, I want to die and start over..."

Listening to the unfamiliar lyrics and melody, Chen Shuting wondered, "Which song is this? It sounds like a new song... This talent..."

Meanwhile, Goose Egg's promotional activities for Chinese music in Berlin were also quietly unfolding.

At Pariserplatz in downtown Berlin, Ambassador Liu Gengyun, accompanied by staff, is preparing to pass through the Brandenburg Gate to attend an event.

The sudden music from the square made him pause slightly. He turned around and saw a band combining Chinese and Western styles preparing for a performance, with a Chinese girl playing the violin doing a sound check.

"Oh, are these also bands participating in the event?" In response to Ambassador Liu's question, the staff member smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Our Goose Egg Music event area is in the central square. These bands must have heard about it and came to add to the event's popularity."

The ambassador said "Oh" after hearing this, and then prepared to leave. Just then, the Chinese girl playing the violin turned around, and as their eyes met, she smiled and nodded at him.

The kindness of compatriots when you are abroad is the most touching gesture, and even ambassador Liu Gengyun, who spends most of his time abroad, is no exception.

Seeing the girl dressed like a student, he asked the staff about the start time of the event. After confirming that it would start in half an hour, he decided to stay and support his compatriot.

"Go for it!" Liu Gengyun encouraged the girl in Chinese, then took out his phone to prepare for recording.

The girl smiled back, took a closer look at Liu Gengyun's Zhongshan suit and the red badge pinned to his chest, and then turned to her foreign companion who was adjusting the bass guitar and whispered a few words to him.

"Oh, really? Then we'll have to be even more serious."

Without keeping the onlookers waiting long, the girl raised her bow and began to play on the strings. The rhythm, distinct from classical music, caught Liu Gengyun's eye.

Once the bass and drums are added, the rock and roll energy is fully unleashed.

While everyone was still guessing what song it was, the foreign lead singer sang in broken Mandarin: "Open this window that hasn't been looked at for so long, dust is scattered on the ground on both sides..."

Immediately, someone in the crowd exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh! This is 'Schwärze die Nacht' by Huaxia Rock 29!"

At that moment, Liu Gengyun's sense of national pride exploded!

As the song gradually reached its climax, musicians of different skin colors and ages emerged from the crowd to join in. At this point, Liu Gengyun realized that this was a flash mob event.

"That's great, this is true cultural export!"

More and more musicians joined in, and the crowd of onlookers grew, including foreigners who sang along in Mandarin that they couldn't understand at all.

As the chorus began, a burst of clear, articulate Mandarin suddenly erupted from the crowd: "What has darkened this night, arbitrarily smearing, arbitrarily smearing around the moonlight..."

Even Liu Gengyun, who has experienced countless things abroad, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

He was completely moved and touched by the atmosphere until the end of the performance. But the final scene caught him off guard!

All the performers were seen holding their hands together in front of their chests, speaking Chinese, German, English, French...

After reading the contents, Liu Gengyun felt a mix of emotions.

"Music knows no borders, reject monopolies, and support Chinese rock music going global!"

The staff around him looked utterly bewildered.

Wang Wenhui and Olaf, drinking beer in the crowd, high-fived each other: "Oh, Wang, well done!"

"These were all ideas spontaneously generated by music fans and international students. I only participated in organizing them. The key is that Bian Lang's songs are really good!"

"Wave's creative talent is truly amazing, and I hope that new song in the video will be released to European music fans soon!"

Such a thing—showing up at your door on the day of the event to slap you in the face—is unlikely to happen in China, but it's quite common abroad.

At this moment, the violinist suddenly rushed over and invited Liu Gengyun to take a group photo with them. Seeing that everyone had stopped, Liu Gengyun smiled and walked closer to the band, taking a group photo with the Brandenburg Gate as the background.

Finally, Liu Gengyun encouraged them for their efforts in spreading Chinese music before following the staff to the center of Paris Square.
