Compared with the situation in China, DGM was scolded badly by scalpers this time.

As soon as it was announced that there would be no Rolling Stones guests in Paris, the price of scalper tickets began to plummet. The ticket price that had soared to almost 800 euros was cut in half.

Before the show started, the ticket price from scalpers outside the performance venue dropped back to the original price of 210 euros.

This time, Hatter fans were happy, because the regret that the Rolling Stones could not be there as guests was relieved a lot.

This unintentional crackdown on scalpers was even praised by some music fans.

Of course, DGM is not without some means of handling public opinion. Although it has not made any public statement, various reports are flying that the Rolling Stones will not perform in Gaul because the M brand treats Chinese people differently because it is of Parisian aristocratic descent.

Anyone who is interested will know at a glance that there is definitely a shadow of DGM behind this news.

However, this episode did not affect the price of Hatter Berlin station scalper tickets. Although DGM still did not announce it in advance, after the domestic news spread to foreign countries, it was almost confirmed that the ticket price for the Rolling Stones to participate in Berlin station had risen to nearly 1,000 euros.

As for Amiri, they had no idea that the endorsement they just signed from Rolling Stone would bring them such a huge publicity effect.

After Xiaopo Station’s advertisements appeared, those fans who could only drink Xibiqi to support Bianlang now have a new consumption point.

Male fans will weigh their wallets when faced with Amiri's jeans of the same style as Bianlang with a price tag of more than 2000. Women don't think so much about spending. Which female fan doesn't want to dress up her boyfriend or husband as Bianlang? The waves are like that.

So although this pair of ripped jeans with small legs is a mass-produced product, it was bought as a limited edition by domestic Bianlang fans.

As for shirts and casual suits, they are not very friendly to many men who usually do not pay attention to body management. It's not that it can't be worn, but it just doesn't feel like the same outfit as Bian Lang's.

But the sales volume still increased several times than before, so much so that Holly, who was leading the matter, received a call from the big boss himself: "Holly, you did a good job. Find a time to talk to Wave. Let's talk about it." Amiri can deepen its cooperation with Rolling Stone in the future and produce a series co-branded by Rolling Stone..."

Strauss, who was unable to leave on time due to visa issues, naturally followed this time. With her joining as a guitarist, Bian Lang had more options when performing.

It's just the outro solo of "Comfortably Numb". After practicing for so long, I still haven't quite figured it out yet, let alone her. Looking at the music score, she still felt a bit like drumming, and listening to Bian Lang's requirements for the tone and use of the vibrato, she felt that it would be torture to play the ending exactly the same every time she performed.

In fact, this ending solo has a lot of improvisational content, and even Lonely Master himself plays it differently every time.

Therefore, when practicing this solo, the original Earth guitarists used the CD version as the standard.

Even so, the music scores on the market are still diverse and cannot be unified.

The main problem is the use of the tremolo. To pursue the same accuracy as the original version, the accuracy of the tone and rhythm is indispensable.

To use an exaggerated metaphor, if your mobile phone fingerprint is not the big and small thumbs, then practice this section to be as silky as Lonely Master, and even the fingerprint lock on your mobile phone will not be able to open it.

After getting the sheet music and listening to Bianlang and playing it again, Tili said bluntly: "If I don't practice it by then, Berlin will still be your solo solo, and I will play the rhythm for Qi."

……

With the continuous high-profile performance in the previous two games, DGM's positioning for the shows with the Rolling Stones has changed. Whether it’s promotional materials or on-site lighting and stage design, Rolling Stone is no longer just leftovers.

Hatter is not unhappy either. Both Feimos and Bob now feel that the Rolling Stones' future achievements in the rock circle will definitely be a palace-level existence. When one day the Rolling Stones' fame completely surpasses theirs, then they can brag: "Before they became famous, the Rolling Stones were our guest performers for Hatter."

In the same way, the Rolling Stones have truly become a palace-level presence. When they come to Europe for a large-scale tour, then Hatter will be their live guest, which is also something worth looking forward to.

So before anyone from Hatter arrived in Berlin, Bian Lang was invited to the scene to ask for his opinions on the stage. On the original basis, he would create the stage effect they wanted most for the Rolling Stones.

It is unrealistic to directly reproduce Pink Floyd's super concert scene, but by paying tribute to certain details, Bian Lang thinks it is still possible.

When the on-site stage design team heard Bian Lang's needs and got the song sample and asked someone to start making the video, they all felt that DGM had really signed an all-round band this time. Just the idea of ​​​​this background video, even if it was Even if the world's top stage design team comes here, they may not be able to achieve this level of adaptability.

Although it hasn't had any effect yet, they can already predict the shocked expressions of the fans at the scene when they face this scene. For this reason, the chief director of Berlin Station directly issued a hush order. If any of the staff involved leaked any information, they would be facing lawsuits.

Moreover, he deliberately arranged the final rehearsal of this song in the latter part of the night Berlin time to prevent fans from sneaking in and filming the scene and spreading spoilers online. In his opinion, this kind of stage spoiler would lose at least half of the surprise and shock, so...

The venue for this performance is Gendarmenmarkt (Gendarmenmarkt Square) in Berlin. This is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe and a must-visit place for tourists. The square is surrounded by the DG Cathedral, the Gallic Cathedral and the Concert Hall. It is also the venue for the Berlin Open Air Classical Music Festival every summer. The performance stage for this concert was built on the steps in front of the National Concert Hall. .

This concert hall was formerly the site of the National Theater, which was burned down during World War II. It was not until 1979 that the famous Prussian architect Schinkel built a new building on the ruins of the original theater, integrating the remaining parts of the original building into the new one. in the building.

Although this is not the former site of the Berlin Wall, it is still stained by the flames of World War II. Bian Lang believes that the people of Berlin will understand the meaning of his stage design.

In order to match the performance of the Rolling Stones this time, DGM specifically followed Bian Lang's request to find three of their company's best chorus singers to help the Rolling Stones at the scene.

After so much effort, everyone was looking forward to the final moment of presentation. When the last rehearsal was over, all the staff on site felt at a loss for words. They really didn’t know what the scene would be like when it was officially presented tomorrow. .

Because the Rolling Stones performed this song live in two plans, with Dili and Bianlang playing the final solo. Tonight's rehearsal was only for Dili to play the solo A plan, but I don't know where the news came out, saying that it will be used tomorrow. The probability of Plan B is more than half.

As for Bian Lang, during the rehearsal process, he couldn't help but think of the scene of "The Wall" where Shui Ye was on the ruins of the Berlin Wall on the original earth.

At that time, the staff used giant foam blocks to build a huge curtain wall on the stage between the audience and the band. As the performance progressed, the huge wall curtain collapsed on the stage, and hundreds of thousands of fans in Berlin screamed and vented. The band members sang "the tide is turning! (The times are changing)" behind the collapsed wall.

The song "The Tide is Turning" is not Shui's work during his Pink Floyd period.

On the original earth, there is a strange saying among many pseudo-Pink fans that the melody of Lonely Lord’s composition is better and the lyrics of Shui Lord are better.

Bian Lang thinks this is nonsense. Most of Pink's classic melodies were composed by Shui Ye, and this song "The Tide is Turning" is the best response to those fans who have such strange opinions.

Being able to use melody to drive lyrics, and being able to write about war and politics in such a profound way, Bian Lang couldn't think of anyone else on earth who could do this.

Although it was a rehearsal in the middle of the night, it was still seen by someone who was interested, that is, a Berlin tour group from China.

When Bian Lang came out of the venue, he met Li Shiying who had not returned to the hotel to rest.

Seeing the female singer wearing a long down jacket and wrapping herself like a doll, Bian Lang asked in surprise: "Why haven't you gone back to the hotel to rest?"

"Brother Lin is going back first. I haven't recovered from jet lag yet, so I came here to take a look. Teacher Bian, your scene will definitely become another classic in the history of the Rolling Stones after tomorrow!"

"Where is this? When several god-level scenes of "The Wall" are combined and presented together, it will be a real classic." Thinking this in his heart, Bian Lang said: "Well, but in the future Definitely look for opportunities to surpass!”

Li Shiying took a small breath and stamped her feet while saying: "Then the Rolling Stones will come to Berlin for a special concert in the future. I hope I will be lucky enough to be the backup vocalist for Teacher Bian Lang!"

"Okay! You, the future little queen, can be the backing vocal for the Rolling Stones, of course you can only ask for it!" Bian Lang subconsciously regarded this person as Deng Ziqi, otherwise he would not have come up with a song by Beyond again. The greeting to Chen Shuting was given directly to her.

But it’s not under the banner of Rolling Stone Music. It’s hard to say whether he will eventually be able to reach the heights of Deng Ziqi on the original earth.

"Ah! Teacher Bian, I don't even know how to answer your words. You are far worse than me..." Bian Lang slipped out a sentence, which invisibly made Li Shiying feel a little jealous. seed.

Speaking of chorus, Bian Lang thought of "The Tide is Turning" by Shui Ye. The chorus of this song requires a small choir to have that feeling. And for the scene of "The Wall", Mr. Shui also invited a symphony orchestra.

Thinking of these inhumane super concert scenes, Bian Lang wondered if he could consider forming a small symphony orchestra and choir in the future.

Although there are not many opportunities for others, this is different for Bian Lang. There are many domestic rock and symphony concerts that can be remembered in his mind, let alone foreign ones. Yes.

As long as half of it is copied, this symphony orchestra will be enough to support...

　I saw some book friends saying that the order of Berlin and Moscow was reversed. I went back and looked at it. I did write the previous chapter in reverse order, because the order on the outline is that Moscow is at the end. I have changed the previous part. I would like to inform you here. Hello fellow book friends. Every time I write to the scene, the speed is very slow. The update may be late tomorrow, but it will not be absent...
