Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 210: Smashing the Piano (Please subscribe, please read)

After the 20-second coda ended, Bian Lang's raised right hand slowly came down.

He was breathing heavily, recalling the scene just now, and smiled unconsciously in his heart: "Hey! Brothers, did you see it? I am wandering here without embarrassing our Chinese rock people!"

Regarding the planning of new pants, Bian Lang's previous plan was to start performing a few small-scale performances after reproducing the album "Life Is Hot Because of You". After completing the band members, they would slowly get used to it and then start Tour.

But after the album was recorded and it was time to select songs for the music festival, Bian Lang discovered the problem.

There are a few songs among them that are not so conventional and catchy, as well as the pure music "Walking on the Ice of Shichahai", which is a bit inappropriate to perform at this music festival.

It doesn't matter if it's in an album. After all, an album should look like an album. It needs to explain the concept of the album and express personal emotions.

What Bian Lang recorded was not a collection of New Pants hit songs, so it was impossible to pluck songs from other albums and forcibly add them to this album.

Not to mention that the main style line is not suitable. He also cultivated New Pants as a long-term band. He has compiled all the hot songs. What about the subsequent albums?
So, after much deliberation, he came up with the song "Fireworks" adapted from No. 43 Baojia Street.

And he also thought very clearly that this song is not a studio version. If the live performance at this music festival goes well, then he will directly upload the live version this time.

After all, this version would be completely meaningless if it were divorced from the scene.

At this time, Liu Yao, who was already preparing in the band tent, looked at the stage with a troubled expression.This song, she felt, should be hers again.

But this time he was not the only one who felt this way. Qiu Long, the guitarist of No. 1 Anxiang Road, also spoke up: "Yao, I think this song is like our band's. If we change the arrangement slightly, then... "

Drummer Xiao Fan also joined in at the right time: "Not only this song, I think the song Lao Zhao and the others took also seems to be ours!"

Maduge and No. 1 Anxiang Road are composed of students from two major music universities in BJ. They have received formal music education, so their styles are based on the blues rock style that established the trend of rock music in the early days.

Therefore, the songs from No. 43 on Baojia Street that Bian Lang brought out really match these two bands!

After hearing this, Liu Yao smiled and shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't want to! Let's finish tonight's performance well, and don't let the last three steal the spotlight! How many days have the new pants been established? Wait until we get back to BJ I don’t care, you guys are going to be laughed at!”

Although most of these words were made in jest, they are very enthusiastic about playing rock and roll. If they are really laughed at by people in the industry when they go back, then they might as well not perform this joint performance at No. 1 Anxiang Road.

At this time, on the stage, medical staff were already on stage to treat Bian Lang's wounds, and Pan Jianhu also gave Bian Lang a spare electric guitar.

Bian Lang spoke into the microphone and said to the audience: "I'm sorry for delaying everyone's viewing of the show. I'll adjust the volume again and I'll be back soon..."

The music fans in the audience didn't mind the extra delay. After all, being able to see the scene of Bian Bang smashing the piano just now was already a moment of witnessing history for many people.

Pan Jianhu, who was helping Bian Lang with the straps, asked with concern, "What happened just now?"

"At the last moment, the six strings jumped!"

Hearing this answer, Pan Jianhu felt that if he were on the stage, he would have smashed it just now!

The moment Dong You saw Bian Lang smashing the piano, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Later, when he saw Bian Lang's hands bleeding, he immediately wanted to climb up the stage to check the situation.

But he was too short, so he couldn't reach the edge of the stage even when he jumped.

When she walked around from the backstage to go up, the medical staff and Pan Jianhu had already come down.

"It's okay. It's just a few pricks from the wood residue. The wounds are not deep and no stitches are needed. Bian Lang asked me to give you a message. He's okay. He'll come down to find trouble after singing the last song!"

After hearing this, Dong Youbian felt relieved.As for why Bian Lang smashed the piano just now, she didn't think as much as Pan Jianhu did. She thought that as long as Bian Lang was fine.

After the music fans on the Internet witnessed this scene, they made all kinds of exaggerated remarks:

"This scene is so simple, NM. I really regret not being stronger and dragging my girlfriend to Spring City. Fortunately, I watched the music festival live, otherwise this hotel would not have squeezed me dry during the 7-day tour."

"Bian Lang's smash was so fucking rock and roll. I used to think that those who smashed the piano were just pretending to be sexy, but Bian Lang gave me the feeling that he was burning himself with the instrument. Why did it bring about a firework!"

"Yes, yes, the man upstairs said everything I wanted to say! He is indeed the class representative!"

There are countless things about rock warriors smashing pianos on the original earth.

Some people smash the piano to vent their emotions, such as Uncle Billy from Green Day!
Some people are protesting against the organizer who asked them to lip-sync, such as Chef Xie!
Some people do it for self-marketing, such as Bangzilong who once smashed guitars whenever he had a concert.

There are also people who simply smash their guitars and just don’t want to play again.Such as Kurt Cobain!

As a result, more and more people came to watch Kurt smash guitars... The original person recognized by the industry as "the number one rock smasher" was Pete Townshend, the guitarist of The Who band.

When The Who performed at the Railway Hotel Bar in Harrow, London, in September 1964, Townshend wanted to make a little more noise, and at first he poked the speakers with his guitar.

Later, the guitar body had cracked, and then Townshend raised the guitar and waved it in the air. As a result, the headstock penetrated the low roof. When he pulled it off and saw that the neck was almost broken.

At this time, some people in the audience began to make fun of him. Townshend couldn't bear it anymore and became anxious. He simply wanted to make the matter bigger, so he smashed the guitar with all his strength.

This event was listed by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the "50 Important Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll".

The one that Bian Lang had seen the most in his life was Lao Xie... He also knew that the ancestor who smashed the harp was actually not Wai Guoren, but his own Chinese ancestor - Boya smashing the harp to Xie Zhiyin!

……

Bian Lang moved very quickly, and within a few minutes the new guitar tone had been adjusted. The prelude to "Life Is Hot Because of You" sounded at the end, and the whole scene returned to the previous jubilant atmosphere.

Su's father had been staring at his daughter just now. He really felt that just like what Bian Lang said before, Su Kan at this moment was like a firework, making his life more exciting.

However, the moment Bian Lang smashed the piano, he was still shocked, and he couldn't understand it in his mind.

But now he heard Bian Lang singing again: "Brave, you stand here..." He seemed to suddenly understand.

Not only did I understand Bian Lang smashing the piano, but I also understood why so many people are obsessed with rock music. Driven by rock music, tens of thousands of people would tirelessly dance to the music in this open-air venue. .

After all, it’s just to vent the negative emotions in your heart!
In a sense, this is the same thing as a psychologist providing psychological counseling for people with mental illness.

Su's father is a doctor by profession. Although he is not a psychiatrist, he has heard of many tragedies that occurred due to mental illness in that environment.

If those people could also find the rock music scene as a way to vent their negative emotions, maybe there wouldn't be so many tragedies happening.

When Bian Lang sang the last line: "That ordinary life is as hot as water, because of you...", he completely recognized his daughter's choice in his heart.

He was even thinking about whether to suggest to the psychiatrist in the hospital after he returned home that they should work on rock music. Isn't that a way to go?

In view of the scene just now, when Bian Lang took the curtain call with the band, there were basically no fans who wanted to say "encore".

Some feel sorry for Bian Lang, and some feel that today's new pants are enough, and if there are more, they won't be perfect.

When taking photos with the fans, Bian Lang also asked the staff to invite Su Kan's parents to come up and take photos with the fans on stage with the band.

Then, Bian Lang used the microphone to apologize to Zuo Lin, You Li, who was preparing for the stage opposite.

I heard Li Shiying's sweet voice coming from the speaker: "It doesn't matter, Teacher Bian, it doesn't matter how much longer we wait to witness the classic performance of the New Pants Band! I believe that the fans in the audience will also agree with me." I think the same thing, right?"

Seeing this ability to interact with music fans at every opportunity, Bian Lang only lamented that pop singers, especially pop singers from Hong Kong, are really incomparable to rock musicians like them in this aspect.

After stepping down, Dong Youbian, who had been waiting below for a long time, immediately rushed up and asked with concern: "Is everything okay? Do you want to go to the hospital and deal with it seriously?"

Seeing the anxious look on her face, Bian Lang smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay..."

Before the words were finished, several heads of the "Langmi Backyard" arrived.

Seeing the two of them talking in an affectionate manner, Russell Ping could not rush up and interrupt her directly. Instead, she waited until Bian Lang turned around and saw them before she said, "Second brother, are you okay?"

Bian Lang grabbed Dong Youbian's left hand with his right hand, shook it hard and said: "Mom, I'm fine, I made you worry!"

This trick really worked. It immediately transferred the attention of several people from caring about Bian Lang's injury to Dong Youbian.

"Yubian, after this performance, let's go home for dinner. I'll cook the food myself..."

"Yubian, where is your dad? Last time we met briefly at a barbecue and didn't even have a few drinks. I'll wait for you to finish your work this time..."

"Youbian, you must have been scared by your dick just now. Sister Zou will take you to get a drink to calm down your shock..."

Dong You, who was a little shy, didn't break away, and just responded to the concern of the three people of the Bian family one by one.

At the same time, he kicked Bian Lang's calf with his foot, neither lightly nor hard.Bian Lang said "ouch" in a gesture, and half of his body was pressed against Dong Youbian's body.
