Chapter 314: The memory of paper media (please subscribe, please vote)
After returning to the hotel, Bian Lang, who was invited by Dong Youbian, Lao Luo and the program team, was a little bit dumbfounded by this cleverly named celebration.

But thinking about the wishes of several people, and for the sake of future ratings of variety shows, he still smiled and agreed.

As for Xie Xinyan's invitation, the location is not far from the hotel where he and Watts will meet tomorrow, so if he has time, he will definitely go there.

After a dreamless night, when Bian Lang woke up the next day, London was still shrouded in fog.

After hurriedly washing up and ordering breakfast, Bian Lang received a video invitation from Dong Youbian.Seeing the configuration of Xibiqi and a small barbecue in the ant nest, and then looking at his strange way of eating milk, bread, and adding the chicken coriander oil he brought, Bian Lang felt that he must let this group of people go back. Pay a price.

But when he saw everyone raising glasses to celebrate the success of his first guest performance in Europe, Bian Lang felt that this group of people was quite cute.

Then Liang Zi also summoned the "band" members to show Bian Lang the results of the past few days of training.Although there are still many problems in terms of tempo and proficiency, Bian Lang feels that the performance is much more realistic than the accompaniment.

After hanging up the video, it was already nine o'clock London time. After Bian Lang went downstairs, Chen Shuting, Wang Wenhui and others were already waiting for him in the hotel lobby.

The rest of the Rolling Stones went to the DGM headquarters to rehearse, and he, Chen, and Wang took Guoli to the hotel where Watts was staying.

At this time in China, news about the Rolling Stones' guest debut in Europe has also become a hot topic.

It was mainly the one-word song reviews by Bai Dao and Liu Ziyang that attracted the attention and heated discussion of netizens.

Liu Ziyang's comments about the music and arrangement are similar to what White Horse Zilong Qunli said at the time, except that some changes were made in rhetoric and sentences.

Although professional enough, compared to the more intuitive and impactful lyrics, his music reviews are much less popular than Bai Dao's analysis of lyrics.

But if Bian Lang wants to write a professional and true evaluation of this song, the original Rolling Stone record company will definitely not be able to get around it.

The reason why the song "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" or the album of the same name still sounds so awesome even now is that, to put it simply, it's because the producers of the Rolling Stones traveled through time.

With the help of Wanwan producers, we have introduced modern music concepts that are ten years ahead of the entire mainland, music feelings that are in sync with Europe and the United States, mature and precise music arrangement and production, and sophisticated and balanced music recording and mixing.Without the Rolling Stones, without Jia Minshu of the Rolling Stones controlling the general direction of the album's production, and Fang Wuxing writing the lyrics, there would be no such album.To put it more bluntly, the Rolling Stones are the chefs of the entire feast, and these bands and musicians are just the top ingredients.

And this is also Bian Lang's ultimate plan for the Aquablue Star Rolling Stones. He is now the executive chef of the Rolling Stones team. He brings these classic "recipes" he brought from the original earth to find the most suitable top-notch dishes on the Aquablue Star. "Ingredients" are cooked one by one and displayed to the world.

In the taxi going to the destination, Bian Lang received a message from Pan Jianhu, which contained links to two music reviews. After reading it, Bian Lang felt that Liu Ziyang's words were not perfect enough.

The first reason why "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is so awesome is the structure of the entire song.It’s a standard metal song, with the introduction of camel bells, drums, high-pitched guitar solo, lead vocals, rhythm, lead guitar, chorus, slow tempo, chorus again, rising key repeatedly to a climax, the structure is very complete. .

The other parts are also excellent. The rhythm pattern of the rhythm guitar part is neat and rhythmic. The processing of the repetition of different passages is step-by-step. The tone of the lead guitar is gorgeous and the riff is smooth. The melody has both the pentatonic scale of Chinese folk music and the progression of classic metal. . The reason why the solo sounds so metal and folk at the beginning is because it is a typical method of using a single instrument to present a very simple and slow melody line, without the use of other instruments to support or accompaniment. This is essentially not what Western rock music is willing to do, but is the norm for erhu or dizi.

The use of dramatic singing narration in the song's melody directly influenced many later Chinese rock bands, but the frantic rising tone cannot be imitated at all.The rhythm guitar's processing and transformation of harmonies is also extremely sophisticated, concise and direct, and closely connected with the solo, creating a bright sense of advancement.

Second, it’s an awesome artistic conception.This song is very closely tied to the theme of dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty. From the melodious camel bells at the beginning to the atmospheric timbre of the main vocal, it can show the feeling of dreaming back to a colorful and ever-changing fantasy world, especially the vocabulary selection and coordination of the lyrics are magnificent. And rich in poetry, Ding Wu's incredibly high-pitched singing voice and roaring like Peking Opera chants fully demonstrate the unique appeal of Chinese rock music.

As a result, many people say that this song is China's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Now that he has thought of this, Bian Lang plans to bring "Bohemian Rhapsody" to him when he goes back tonight. As for the analysis of the lyrics, as Bai Dao said: "Eastern philosophy + realism + dreamy retro + poetry quotation, so far, this type of Chinese-style rock lyrics creation, "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is The pinnacle! If you want to surpass it, it depends on whether Bian Lang can produce new works of this kind in the future."

Seeing this, Bian Lang clicked on the link to Xiaopo Station's video to see how the live broadcast was.Since I didn’t wear headphones, the sound of the song came out through the external playback of my mobile phone. The initial foreshadowing section was fine, but when I got to the solo part later, the local driver suddenly turned his head and said to Bian Lang in the back seat:

"Did you play this song by The Rolling Stones, the guest band from China at Hatter's concert last night? Did you go to the concert last night? Then you are so lucky. When I went home last night, I My daughter showed me the live video sent to her by her classmates. The three songs they performed in Chinese were all quite good, but I still like "The Angel" the most. I will practice this song carefully before the weekend derby. Then we will sing with them live to the old Arsène.

If I could meet them in North London, I would definitely treat them to a drink with Rosie Lee..."

The driver spoke very quickly, giving Bian Lang no chance to interrupt. Until he finished speaking, the co-pilot Wang Wenhui said first: "Man, there is no chance for you to invite Rosie Lee, but you can consider it." Waive them the fare this time, and then you can take Wave’s photo and autograph and go back to make your daughter happy at night.”

After hearing what Wang Wenhui said, the driver smiled disapprovingly and said: "Chinese, you are really good at joking. Although I can't understand Chinese, I won't just find a Chinese to sign and go back to deceive my daughter..."

Before he finished speaking, the driver suddenly paused as if he realized something was wrong. He looked sideways at Wang Wenhui, and after glancing at Bianlang through the rearview mirror several times, he asked with some disbelief: "Wave, The The lead singer of the Rolling Stones? Is that really you?"

After seeing Bian Lang nodding in confirmation through the rearview mirror, the driver immediately said happily: "OMG, I was just saying this casually. I never thought I would actually meet you. Please be sure to take a photo and sign it with me when you get off the car." Name, this way my daughter..."

Finally, when getting off the bus, the driver specially handed his Nathan's scarf to Bian Lang and asked him to sign it. After the two of them took a photo together, the driver left with satisfaction.

Guoli looked at the photos in the camera and instantly decided to develop a gold branch in England.

At this time in China, there was another person wearing reading glasses in front of the computer, studying this article related to Bian Lang word by word.If it were an ordinary manuscript, Ge Yue, the founder of "Awakening Weekly", would not even review the manuscript himself, let alone write it.

But this manuscript was different. It involved Bian Lang donating the proceeds from "Rock and Roll on the New Long March" to the "Veterans Care Action" fund. He couldn't trust anyone else to write it.

Throughout October, "Rock on the New Long March" topped the new song list with nearly 10 million downloads, followed by songs by the Rolling Stones.Therefore, the entire month of October can be said to be a month in which Rolling Stone swept the new song charts.

The day after the song share was received, even though Bian Lang and Chen Shuting were not in the country, the Rolling Stones directly transferred the money to the fund's account.When Ge Yue received the financial confirmation call, he was also filled with emotion. When it comes to doing charity, there are many celebrities who make big noises but little rain.

Some are very high-profile when facing the media, but when it is their turn to implement them, they often start to become a little untrustworthy.

As for Rolling Stone, Bian Lang didn't even give him a message in advance. Instead, he directly asked the financial contact to check the account information, and then directly made the payment.As a founder of a fund and a media person with a certain reputation, Ge Yue felt that it was necessary for him to send this news out to let more people know.

Moreover, he feels that the memory of the Internet is too short. Even if it is a hot search, it will only last for 24 hours at most. After 24 hours, no one may pay attention to it, and even big data push notifications will no longer be pushed. If you want to look for it again, you have to search specifically.

Although the circulation of each issue of my own "Awakening Weekly" has dropped from 50 copies at its peak to 10 copies now, no matter what, people who read these 10 copies of the magazine will definitely remember it. Lang is such a rock person who is consistent in his words and deeds. He is doing charity in areas that ordinary people don't pay much attention to.

Moreover, if it is circulated in the public area, he believes that the memory of paper media is completely incomparable to that of the Internet.Maybe a few years or decades later, when someone picks up this issue of the magazine again, they see the long-haired rocker Bian Lang on the cover with a somewhat uninhibited smile.

Everyone can't help but praise: "This guy is so awesome!"
