Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 250 Selling and singing (please subscribe, please vote)

Thinking of Pink Floyd's world-famous super venue, super large searchlights, giant screens, giant inflatable dolls, and large cranes are just standard equipment; helicopters, ambulances, military vehicles, and extended Lincolns drove directly into the performance venue, and even invited a A whole symphony orchestra came as accompaniment... Bian Lang yearned for it.

But the album "The Wall" has 26 songs. Although it taught him to listen to the entire album in order from beginning to end, Bian Lang can only clearly remember the most classic songs. .

"I hope this trip to Berlin will remind me of a few more songs."

It took about half an hour for Bian Lang to write the lyrics and music of "Comfortably Numb", then he checked the time and sent a message to Guo Sichu, and then drove to pick up Dong Youbian.

After the two had a meal at Nan Feiyan in the snack street, they rushed to the venue of the Magic Saucer Music Festival.

Although they are all located next to Dian Lake, the land of this real estate company is all flat and open land. The venue of the music festival is an open land next to the commercial district.

There is also an aquarium and ice and snow world here. Except for the lack of hot springs and health care, it can be said that they are completely comparable to the mountain and sea projects.

There is a music festival during the National Day, and there is a lot of traffic here, but it is far from the Rolling Stones Music Festival, which is a few kilometers of highway parking lot.

Bian Lang drove the car to the third floor of the three-dimensional parking lot. After stopping, he took a photo of the parking space before holding Dong Youbian's hand and leaving.

When I arrived at the entrance of the music festival, I saw from a distance that the security guard asked a fan to throw away the food and water he brought with him in the trash can that could not cover the door. The two got into an argument.Bian Lang didn't hear the exact cause of the noise. In the end, he saw that the music fans didn't throw anything and didn't enter the venue. They took the tickets in their hands and went to find scalpers.

But none of the scalpers who shouted 100 a ticket showed any intention of taking over the ticket.

At this time, Pan Jianhu happened to come over with Feimos and Walker. After seeing it, he went up to negotiate and finally got the tickets.

After the two groups of people met, Bian Lang asked Pan Jianhu: "Brother Hu, how much did it cost?"

Pan Jianhu handed the ticket to Bian Lang and said with a smile: "It didn't cost any money. I exchanged the ticket for the New Road show for him!"

"You're awesome!" Bian Lang couldn't help but give Pan Jianhu a thumbs up.

Several people waited for a while, and when Dayong and Huang Kai arrived, they all took the tickets from Pan Jianhu and lined up to check in and go through the security check.

When he arrived at Dayong, he was stopped, saying that the tambourine he was carrying did not have a performance certificate and he was not allowed to bring it in. Dayong argued with the security guard: "I don't have any food or drink hidden in my tambourine, and it doesn't endanger public safety." , why just let me take the lead?"

The momentum is similar to that of Wang Baoqiang who angrily drank a bucket of milk in "People on the Road".

"It is stipulated above that musicians who are not performing are not allowed to bring instruments in. Please understand..."

"Why is this breaking the rules? Are you afraid that I will go on stage to steal the performance?" Dayong became more and more angry as he spoke. After attending music festivals for so many years, this was the first time I heard that they were not allowed to bring musical instruments inside.

Bian Lang, who had already entered, heard the quarrel behind him and turned back to ask what it was about, but was stopped by Pan Jianhu: "It's okay, I'll handle it!"

But it didn't seem to work if Lao Pan went there. There was still a faint tendency for the conflict to escalate, so Bian Lang and Huang Kai quickly followed.

At this moment, a girl with a work permit came over and was about to understand and solve the problem. When she saw Pan Jianhu, she shouted: "Master Hu!"

Seeing that he was an acquaintance of the staff, the security guard calmed down a little.

The girl came over to understand the situation, took out a work permit and handed it to Dayong, and brought the person in.

As soon as the security guard saw this operation, he added: "If they start singing for a while, who will bear the responsibility?"

The girl replied angrily: "If the Rolling Stones can perform at the Magic Disc Music Festival, then the real estate company will probably hold a celebration party for us tonight."

Indeed, as the girl said, the person in charge of the real estate is now eager for the Rolling Stones to come over and cause trouble.

The person in charge who made the final decision on the Magic Disc is now thinking about how to write an inspection while maintaining public opinion.A multi-million publicity campaign is not a small deal for them. They can find objective reasons for not meeting expectations, but if it triggers public opinion, then he has to shoulder this responsibility.

After all, music fans included the names of their properties when they criticized Magic Disk.In comparison, in addition to some problems exposed by the incompatibility of reception capacity with the flow of people, the Dianhai side has achieved a double harvest of reputation and income in other aspects.

Even after the music festival is over, the flow of people to the amusement park, hot springs and wetland park between mountains and seas continues unabated.

He Yan, under Quan Hongtao's instruction, has already begun to formulate a long-term contract to cooperate with Rolling Stone. According to the results of the group's discussions, they want to sign a five-year cooperation with Rolling Stone on the music festival.

Accompanying Pan Jianhu and the others all the way inside, the girl poured out her bitterness in front of the old leader without caring about the company's face: "Master Hu, this music festival is really terrible. Do you know why they are not allowed to bring musical instruments in? What about investment promotion?" Even the singing and singing stalls are rented out, I don’t know what to say.”

When Bian Lang heard this, he felt that this was indeed something.

"Does anyone really know how to rent?" "Yes, 1500 of them were rented out for 4 a day. I took a look yesterday and they were all bands from Cang'er. There is a Chinese-foreign joint venture band that is pretty good. I'll tell you later I’ll take you there and listen.”

Bian Lang was interested in this. He checked the time and it was still half an hour before the show started, and said to the girl, "I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, I didn't expect Teacher Bian to show up at the Magic Disk Music Festival. Can I take a photo with you and Sister You Bian?"

After Bian Lang agreed, he pulled Pan Jianhu in again. After the four of them took a photo together, the girl took them to the place where the joint venture band he mentioned was singing.

Because there was no opening, a small group of music fans gathered here.While still outside, Bian Lang listened to the melody played by the trumpet and instinctively felt that the foreigner in the joint venture must be the trumpet player.

This was indeed the case, except that the bearded foreigner wearing a top hat was not playing the trumpet, but the flugelhorn.

The range of the flugelhorn is two and a half octaves wider than that of the trumpet, and its tone is softer than that of the trumpet. It is mostly used for jazz and blues band performances or solos.

At this moment, a metallic female voice sang: "Baby, you and me..."

"Oh, this voice is so exciting..."

"How did you get this big smokey voice?"

"Why does this sound sound familiar..." Dayong said this is what Pan Jianhu wanted to say.

With this question in mind, Pan Jianhu squeezed into the crowd. After careful identification, he resisted the urge to shout and stood there and continued to listen.

The first song that came to Bian Lang's mind after hearing this voice was: "Baby, it's your love that makes me drunk. I don't care..."

Then it goes like this: "Rocks pierce the sky, stormy waves crash on the shore, thousands of piles of snow are rolled up, the country is picturesque, and there are so many heroes..."

The voices of Billie and Wu Tiehua can be said to be unique female voices in the Chinese music scene of that era, especially Wu Tiehua. When she took over the reincarnation home position from Wu Tong, the album titled "Expectation" was also subversive. sexual meaning.

As for Billie, she was the first Chinese-speaking singer to hold a concert tour in the United States in 1975. She was also a guest invited by MJ when he held his first concert in Bay Area.

"With a voice like this, why are you reduced to playing in a street band?"

Don't get me wrong, Bianlang has no discrimination against street bands. As long as the music is good, it doesn't matter whether it's on a big stage or on the roadside... the only difference is how many people can hear it.

This situation is not only caused by the squeeze of the music market, but sometimes it may also be the choice of the musicians themselves.

Bian Lang remembers that it was the Snow Mountain Music Festival that Lao Cui attended. Lao Cui performed on the stage and was known as Wang Lei who divided the north and south with him at the Brigade Horse Racing Stadium in Shuhe, while Zhang Quan, the wild child, performed at Qinglong On the bridge, a tambula was being played and a blind man named Zhou Yunpeng was playing the guitar.

During countless subsequent interactions, Bian Lang asked Brother Quan: "What were you thinking at the time?"

The response I got was: "I use my labor in exchange for remuneration to buy milk powder for my son. I think it's very real! If I record a song and post it online, I won't necessarily make money and get scolded, so why should I sing for They listen.”

That year, Zhang Weiwei wrote the world-famous song "Midian".

Thinking of this, Bian Lang calculated in his mind: "There are still more than four months until the "Midian" month."

After the song was finished, Bian Lang really felt that this jazz song was good, and when he was about to scan the code to support it, he saw a stack of black discs next to the guitar case that looked like he had recorded it.The sign next to it also says: "Tip for yourself."

Seeing these words, Bian Lang felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know whether it was because he had the same experience in his previous life, or because the music just now was very good and deserved to be heard by more people...

Just when he was about to ask the lead singer for his contact information, Pan Jianhu came over and hooked Bian Lang's shoulder out of the crowd.

When we arrived at a deserted place, Lao Pan said seriously: "Bian Lang, I want to sign this person..."

"If people are willing, let them go to Rolling Stone!" Bian Lang's answer was a bit beyond Pan Jianhu's expectation, but Pan Jianhu's next sentence was even more beyond Bian Lang's expectations: "That's right, it will save your sister-in-law from thinking too much!"

"Who is Brother Tiger?"

"You don't know about feelings. I thought you recognized her. Du Yujuan, the former female lead singer of Shutu Band, we had a conversation when we were young..."

"Hahahaha!!!! This is going to be signed. I will give her a song as a signing gift."

Bian Lang really wanted to see Pan Jianhu's expression when he heard his ex-girlfriend sing "Dear John"!
