Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 109 Diving (asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a reward)

Back at the youth hostel, Dayong and Huang Kai were drinking with the Dafeng band in the yard. Seeing Bian Lang coming in, Dayong greeted him: "I heard that you went on a date with the singer, how is it going?"

"If there is progress, I will bring them back! By the way, how are you playing today?"

"I went to the zoo to see the Third Prince of Xizhimen in the morning, and our stomachs were almost squeezed out. In the afternoon, I went to the Science and Technology Museum. My son didn't want to come out after playing until the museum was closed. When I came back, I went to Houhai for a meal. I passed by the bar street. There was a party, and when my son shouted, I was recognized..."

When Dayong said this, there was a hint of pride on his face.

Then Huang Kai also said: "I just came back from Sigu. I met a few musician friends from before, and the Magic Disk guy asked me if I want anyone else. By the way, Li Hao also asked me to give it to you. With a message, the group of people in the circle collected [-] CDs and sent them to him after he had packed them up."

"Of course I want people. I haven't found a keyboard player or a guitarist yet. What do you think?"

"Coming to the Rolling Stones, to be honest, it's a little bit boring. It would be nice to have a keyboard player to put new pants." Hearing Huang Kai's comment, Bian Lang nodded and said, "Okay, if the time is right tomorrow, then Just meet him, mainly the keyboardist of the Rolling Stones, can’t we ask Brother Hu to come with us during the music festival?”

Hearing this, Tang Dafeng added: "If it doesn't work, just bring Tong Qi with you, or if there is nothing important tomorrow, you can try your luck with us at the Metal Music Festival. There are often some good independent musicians there. Go and play."

"Okay, what time tomorrow?"

"Leave at one o'clock in the afternoon, and we will be together then."

After drinking for a while, they all went back to the room to sleep. Bian Lang couldn't sleep after going back to the room. It was already past midnight on Friday, August 8nd, the day when the first feature of the variety show was released. It was also the day when "Shameless" and Guangda Le The day when fans meet.

Qin Ge was holding an online meeting with Chen Shuting and a director from Yuncun to discuss the release of the song at the same time.

If it had been at the beginning of the recording of the show, the promotion period would definitely not have been as busy as Bianlang, but it is different now. His popularity, the effect of the show, and the songs that will be sung in the first episode are all from the show team. Traffic password.

Not to mention too much, the most discussed topic in the show is now which song Bian Lang will sing.

Various netizens expressed their opinions, some said "People without ideals don't care", some said "Don't Stop My Music", others said "Dye the Night Black", as for "Insects Fly". Be classified into the ranks of aunt fans and niece fans.

Fans like Guoli and Little Witch, who know the inside story, have to play guessing games with everyone, but they also have to endure not to reveal the truth.

Although the two had hinted several times that Bianlang would sing a new song again, no one listened to it. After all, everyone agreed that the first issue of Shangyin Zong was to sing their famous song.

This kind of continuous discussion has made Yuncun, which cooperates with variety shows, pay 120% attention to it.

Yuncun contributed one-third of Bianlang's results last month. Now that the July wave is still lingering and there is no diversion of goose eggs, they also want to get the biggest share of the pie.

For this reason, Yuncun even offered an exclusive copyright cooperation clause second only to Liu Yao, but Rolling Stone rejected it directly.Bian Lang's thinking is very clear. As long as the platform does not punish him, he will not engage in exclusive cooperation unless the platform is his own.

After experiencing the power of July Wave, many singers who originally planned to release songs in August began to hesitate. They were not the netizens on the Internet who were relatively uninformed. They knew that Bian Lang had new songs to release.

Especially those traffic stars, all of them seem to be dumb, and they have no desire to release new songs at all.

Even a veteran first-tier singer decided to wait until the variety show airs to see the situation.

According to the promotion rhythm of the variety show, Bian Lang sent out a press release at 0:30 and then went to bed.

……

The next day, Bian Lang took a late sleep and didn't get up until almost 12 o'clock. He ate something casually in the restaurant of the youth hostel, and then went to 13club with Dafeng Band.

13club is right next to Gongti. Normally, it just opened at this point, but today there is the Metal Music Festival, so there are already many people waiting for this meeting.Although there are only 5 bands performing, Metal, a small music festival with an extremely obvious style, has never been short of dead fans.

Bian Lang, who was wearing a baseball cap, did not go backstage with Dafeng and the others, but blended directly into the crowd. In this dark room, it was also the home of metal, so Bian Lang's outfit did not attract any special attention at all.Having been a rock person for two lifetimes, Bian Lang can still recognize at a glance how many of these men and women in the audience are music fans and how many are musicians.

Musicians are generally calmer and like to stand closer to the speakers because it makes it easier to criticize their peers on stage.

Bian Lang remembered a time in 500 Miles in his previous life. After their band performed, there was a performance by Fragments. He wore a hood and sunglasses and slipped into the first row.As soon as the guitar started playing, a guy next door who was dressed exactly like him said, "Secretary Ma, the five strings are not tuned correctly." Not 5 seconds after he came over, Bian Lang also said: "Isn't Lao Qin right?" I haven’t eaten and I can’t even hear the bass drum.”

At this time, the buddy next door turned his head, took off his sunglasses, and Bian Lang was overjoyed: "Captain, it's not appropriate for you to come here to criticize?"

"Shaojian and you are still brothers from the same hometown, and I haven't seen you show him any face." Li Yanliang also smiled.

At this moment, Bian Lang saw a buddy standing with his hands in his pockets, not talking to anyone, just waiting for the dark curtain on the stage to open.Based on this judgment, Bian Lang approached him and stood next to him without saying a word.

The opening was the Gale Band. After tuning through the black curtain for a while, Bian Lang and the buddy frowned at the same time. It wasn't that anyone's pitch was inaccurate, but the bass was completely silent.Dafeng plays thrash metal, without the bass of the bass, the overall sound is very strange, with a sense of cheap plastic.

Or to put it another way, bass-based metal is like human eyebrows, you don't care that they're there, but when they're gone, you really want them back.

After a while, after the curtain opened, Bian Lang noticed the despairing look on the bassist's face. He felt that standing on the stage now was even more uncomfortable than being dead.

The faces of the other people were not very good, but facing the enthusiastic shouts of the music fans, Tang Dafeng still opened his mouth to greet the music fans, and then his very aggressive rhythm guitar began to advance with the song .

The long hair that was thrown up on the stage immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the music fans, and the whole audience became restless.

Bian Lang and the buddy beside him didn't move, so they could only move to the edge of the stage, giving space to the music fans behind to follow the stage.

Therefore, the ears of the two people are almost equal to the side of one of the returns.
It was at this time that the two of them heard some problems almost at the same time, because the bass sound that had not appeared during the previous tuning was now there, but it was a little different.

The most intuitive thing is that the two looked at the bass player at the same time, and found that the voices of the bass player and the bass on the stage were out of sync.This song was rehearsed by the Gale Band while Lang Lang, and now the movements of the bass player Lao Peng are not the same as the root notes coming out of the speaker.

But Lao Peng still played seriously, just like he had performed and rehearsed countless times before.

Although none of the notes came from the bass in his hand, he didn't play badly, and he was still playing so proudly on the stage!

The two glanced at each other, the buddy first pointed to the keyboard player on the stage, and Bian Lang understood the meaning, which meant that the current bass sound was played through the keyboard.Music fans may not be able to hear it at the scene, but how can it be hidden from the ears of professionals.

Rhythm and melody are fine, but the difference in timbre is not the slightest bit.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang couldn't help but give this guy a thumbs up, and then asked at the top of his lungs: "Keyboard player?"

This buddy also sensed Bian Lang's identity as a musician, nodded at him, and then the two continued to listen.

One song ended, then another, and the whole place continued to be in a highly restless atmosphere. Lao Peng still didn't slack off at all. It was not like Bian Lang and the others who couldn't see or hear anything wrong at all.

As for Bian Lang, the two of them stood in the front row and just swayed to the rhythm. Those who didn't shake their heads looked like they were blinking.Especially Bian Lang’s long ponytail, it would be a waste if not shaken off!

Until the climax of the last song of the Gale Band, a young lady next to Bian Lang couldn't stand it anymore. She thought why she came here to listen to metal without being impatient and decided to help Bian Lang.Seeing Bian Lang's long ponytail peeking out from behind his baseball cap, he reached out and took off his hat and threw it onto the stage.

At this moment, Lao Peng saw him. The moment he saw Bian Lang, he, the bassist who had been an actor throughout the whole scene, seemed to have found his only excitement. Then he approached the microphone, pointed at Bian Lang and shouted: "Put that stroke up and dive!"

Before Bian Lang could react, he only felt someone grabbing his waist and trying to lift him up. At the same time, he felt someone grabbing his ankles.Without any mental preparation, Bian Lang was lifted up like this.

He had no lack of diving experience in his previous life, but it was the first time he was lifted up by someone in the audience. Just as he was being carried forward, the young lady who took off his hat suddenly saw him clearly. look like.

"I'll go! Isn't this Bian Lang?" The voice is very high-pitched. With the ending of only the sound of instruments, this voice is not inferior to the lead singer at all.

Tang Dafeng heard it too, and after glancing at the bass player who was still smiling, he yelled into the microphone: "The Rolling Stones! Side waves!"

Good guy, it will be even more lively off stage now.Bian Lang was like a piece of cargo, and was sent round and round with the accompaniment of the Gale Band, and finally he was sent to the stage when the performance stopped.

And when he broke away from this long-lost diving feeling, the scene unanimously rang out a uniform slogan: "Bianlang, let's play a song!"

Bian Lang was also very disgusted with the idea of ​​adding temporary tracks to a band's performance later on, which was a taboo in the industry. But before he could speak, a man jumped up from the backstage and said through the microphone: "Bian Lang , I managed to catch you on the spot! So what if the ones behind us don’t perform, the big deal is that the performance fee will not be charged, just be impatient!”

As soon as the words were finished, another woman's voice came from the 13club bar: "You won't lose a penny. I'm afraid I can't afford it. Let's see if I can give you my life!"

As soon as the female boss said these words, the emotions of the music fans in the audience were once again boosted: "Bian Lang, let's play a song!"

When the mood reached this level, Bian Lang didn't stop, picked up the microphone and said: "Then let's play a song."

Hearing this, Tang Dafeng instinctively untied the electric guitar and handed it to him, but Bianlang waved his hand and walked to the keyboard.

After the keyboard player stood up and gave up his seat for some reason, he asked Bian Lang: "Bian Lang, was that obvious just now?"

Bian Lang shook his head and said: "It's live, let's just have fun. Which band has never encountered this situation." Then he leaned closer to the microphone and said to the thin old Pang: "Old Pang, this song is for you! Today This is awesome! If it had been anyone else, I would have just smashed the piano and left!"

Then Bian Lang's fingers began to wander on the keyboard. After playing the prelude of four short verses on the synthesizer bass, Bian Lang started singing directly:
"You are brave, standing here, with a thin but proud face..."
