Chapter 368 Hush! Is there anyone outside? (Two chapters in one, please subscribe, please vote monthly)

And starting from this section, anyone with sharp ears can hear that the tone of the guitar on the stage has changed. The overloaded timbre of the prelude and interlude changed to a distorted timbre, which made Bian Lang's low-pitched singing more tense.

The distorted electric guitar sound is like a bulldozer that pushes through everyone's ears, while Bian Lang's sound is like a steamroller, steadily filling in the gaps and allowing you to fly with quality.

It's not like many distorted electric guitar sounds generated after sampling, which really have no other function besides annoying you.

After four lines, Bian Lang's whisper turned into a dead-throated singing. With the support of the chorus and the high-pitched chorus of other members of the band: "Ah...ah...", the scene was like the whisper of a devil and an angel. Chanting does confrontation.

Tao Xiaoyu and the others were immediately stunned and dumbfounded. Even An Feng, the most confident person, now felt that he had swallowed his heart when he said he wanted to interact.

Stop talking about her, she felt that even if Tao Xiaoyu was next to her, no... even if Liu Yao came and gave her a microphone, this song would not be interactive.

It can be said that Bian Lang's singing skills are fully demonstrated in this song, including true and false voices, Qin opera, Peking opera chanting, and death throat. It is really Chinese, European and American, traditional and avant-garde, Peking opera and rock!

The key is that the configuration of the three guitars, bass, keyboard and drums can be said to be a solo performance from beginning to end, giving people a sense of symphony.

Moreover, the Rolling Stones obviously let it slip when they rehearsed this song yesterday. Bian Lang solved the battle with his real voice from beginning to end, and there were not that many changes at all.

The cycle of "Floating here and there, floating here and there, there is no end..." gradually fades out, and the sound of instruments also ends with Dayong's heavy bass drum.

In an instant, the audience burst into cheers!

“Rolling Stone is awesome!”

"Bianlang, Bianlang canonize the gods!"

The original Earth Records version of the song lasted a total of 7 minutes and 05 seconds, while the Rolling Stones live version took a total of 9 minutes and 43 seconds from the opening remarks by Bian Lang.

This kind of long rock song performance is not common in the current rock music scene of Shuilan Star, let alone the pop music circle! If this kind of song is played at a party, the director will definitely ask you to cut off the top and bottom and slim down even more, otherwise it will be impossible to give you a chance!

There was a popular singer in the audience tour group who immediately regarded the Rolling Stones as gods. This time was long enough for him to perform two songs under normal circumstances.

When I watched the rehearsal yesterday, there was no opening and drum section, and it came intermittently several times. He didn't pay much attention to the specific duration. Now he heard someone next to him say: "Oh my God, this song is almost ten times long." Minutes!" He felt as if the rolling stone was out of reach.

If he sang a song for more than five minutes, he would have to think about whether he would risk being scolded, but the Rolling Stones' feeling during these 10 minutes was: "Huh? That's it..."

Olaf took off his monitoring headphones and looked at Bian Lang who was regaining his emotions on the stage. He was extremely grateful that he could participate in this performance and future productions.

Liu Ziyang, who was far away on the other side of the continent, ignored all the news in the group and was already thinking about how to join the Rolling Stones.

Faced with a work of this level, he felt that if he missed the opportunity to sign it, it would be something he would regret for the rest of his life.

After Bai Dao blew wildly in the crowd of four, he thought of the invitation letter he had just received from a certain music group today, and instantly felt that it was a piece of cake.

He opened the memo on his mobile phone and quickly typed a line: "Rock and roll will never betray me! The Rolling Stones will always stand there as a symbol of Chinese rock and roll. They bring us musical touches and support for It's a spiritual shock that I think idol singers can never achieve! In this world where auditions, hype, sissy, and hookup festivals are all over the place, I'm glad I still have faith."

Ma Yuan took off his headphones and wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down. He remembered his promise to his wife not to smoke indoors. Seeing that the next song was coming soon, he could only silently put the cigarette under his nose and smell it.

As for Pan Xiulong at the scene, he was so excited that he almost took off. Although he has been a little sidetracked by Zhu Wen in recent years, his original intention to revitalize Chinese rock music is still there. At this moment, under the influence of "Flying Bird", he feels that he has come back again.

He was now extremely envious of his cousin, who was able to be bound to Bian Lang at a young age. And he offended this Chinese rock leader who was destined to shine so much that he didn't even know what to say...

"I probably won't have this opportunity!" However, he also thought about using his own way to do his part for his original intention and China Rock.

Bian Hai, who was next to him, probably thought that this person was more professional than him, so he wanted to learn a few words so that he could show off his son to people around him when he returned to China. Then he asked: "Brother, this song is pretty awesome. At your age, you still come to the venue alone. You must really love rock and roll. Can you explain it to me?"

Pan Xiulong didn't hide anything and said what he was thinking directly: "This is the pinnacle of the Chinese style! The dramatic singing and the wild lyrics are like 'raging clouds and wind and rain, blood washing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers'. Which Chinese style song now?" The song has such a pattern and spirit? I really regret not being a few years younger, otherwise... By the way, brother, you don’t look like a Chinese living here, why would you want to come to this live?" There is no way. , Pan Xiulong took a closer look at Bian Hai's domestic clothing, and basically judged that he was here for a trip.

Bian Hai never thought that Pan Xiulong would ask this question, then he hugged his hands, looked at Bian Lang on the stage and said cheerfully: "The one singing on the stage is our second child!"

"Uh..." When Pan Xiulong heard this, he was completely embarrassed on the spot: "Brother, you ask so many questions just to make me praise your son!"

As for Ai Hao, who has broken up with Bian Hai, he is now bragging to a chestnut-haired curly Yangma: "Wave is my best brother!"

When Dayangma heard this, he immediately showed an expression of admiration and immediately invited: "Friends from China, I really want to make friends with Wave. This is over. How about I buy you a drink?"

And Adams was drinking alone on the balcony of the private room. He was already thinking about how to talk to the advertisers invited here today.

Moscow is the last stop for the Rolling Stones in Europe this year. If they want to catch this last train, these advertisers will have to work hard.

He decided to discuss it with the two bands after this was over. Moscow at Christmas might not be the main idea of ​​​​Hatter. It can become a dual-core driver for the Rolling Stones and Hatter. Whether it is Hatter, the Rolling Stones or DGM, setting up the Moscow concert in this way is a win-win situation.

The only thing that worries Adams is that the Stones won't agree to do it. After all, if they change to dual-core, their performance time will be at least doubled, and the number of tracks will also be doubled. And if the subject changes, things that can be done as a guest now will not be done by then.

Although it seems that there is still almost a month left, it may not be possible to complete it if we really prepare.

At this time, Bian Lang on the stage, after breathing well, looked at the excited or dull figures in the audience, silently reciting in his heart: "The Tang Dynasty is awesome!" At the same time, he also determined what the Rolling Stones' first album should be. .

Tang Dynasty's album of the same name has a total of eleven songs, including the Internationale that Moscow will release later, and there will be three songs. Taking advantage of this wave of overseas popularity, I made this album directly. The timing and the condition of everyone in the band were just right!

After coming back to his senses, Bian Lang high-fived everyone on the stage to celebrate, then took off the shoulder strap of the Gibson Nightingale he was wearing, put the guitar back on the piano stand, and then returned to the microphone stand.

I saw him taking off the microphone, holding it in his hand, and said to the fans in the audience: "The tide is turning!" The fans in the audience instinctively thought that this was the name of the next song, but they never thought that Bianlang After saying that, the lights on the stage suddenly went dark, and everyone in the Rolling Stones disappeared from the stage.

On the originally dark big screen behind, a dark gray brick wall began to appear. The cracks in the bricks were clearly visible, but the mottled surface of the bricks showed the traces of time.

Then, a line of black graffiti text began to appear on the brick wall: "Comfortably Numb!"

The font is eye-catching and ferocious, and the content also gave the Berlin music fans present a feeling of enlightenment!

If the picture just now was a bit confusing, then when the Berliners present saw this line of words, they immediately understood. The meaning of this picture is... the Berlin Wall!

I don’t know who took the lead in shouting: “Berlin Wall!” Then various exclamations began to appear:

"Berliner Mauer!"

"OMG, what are the Rolling Stones planning to do?"

"Is this a theme that Chinese people can create?"

"Comfortable numbness, this metaphor is really..."

In the midst of this discussion, a circular beam of light hit the bottom of the center of the screen, and Bian Lang, who had just disappeared, appeared in the beam of light.

Standing under the beam of light with his back turned, the details of the leather jacket that no one had paid much attention to before were highlighted.

Two English words embroidered in red stood out in the eyes of the audience: "The wall!"

At this moment, the Berlin music fans in the audience exploded. If the scene during "Goodbye Jack" was boiling water at 100 degrees, then the water should be over 100 degrees now.

Berlin is an important landmark of the division of Germany and the Cold War after World War II. It has also become a symbol of the Iron Curtain that divided Eastern and Western Europe. This 167.8-kilometer-long wall, known as the "showcase of the free world," surrounded and sealed off the then West Berlin area like an island within the territory of the Democratic Republic of Germany for 29 years.

Blocked the way for 250 million and a half million Germans to return home!

Those present who were over 30 years old happened to be born at the time when the wall collapsed, and those who were older happened to be witnesses of this period of history.

Walker, who is 43 years old this year, has experienced that period of history.

Moreover, when he was four years old, his father was mercilessly shot and killed by the border guards because he was discovered climbing over the high wall. Therefore, this memory has an indelible impact on him.

At the same time, among the tens of thousands of people present, more or less all had the same memory as him. Faced with this heavy history, they were all so excited that they didn't know how to deal with it.

Now more than 30 years have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall. There are many various artistic film and television works focusing on the birth of this period of history, but this is the first time in their memory that a rock song with this theme has been produced.

Walker is a little lucky now that he didn't come over to observe the rehearsal in the early hours of this morning. If he had seen this scene in advance, the shock to him now by this song would have been at least half as great.

As for the Chinese tour group who had seen the rehearsal, they were shocked by the grand scene created by the combination of light and shadow, and did not care much about the cultural significance behind it.

But now they see that before the song starts, some people in the audience start to cry, and they feel that Bian Lang's performance is going to reach a new level.

An Feng, who is studious and inquisitive, immediately asked Tao Xiaoyu beside him: "Sister Xiaoyu, what is this?"

Tao Xiaoyu is a little older than Bian Lang. She has occasionally heard this matter mentioned by the old intellectuals in her family, but it is not her family's history and she has not understood it systematically, so she can only answer with a vague guess: "Maybe it is related to Something to do with the Berlin Wall!”

"Berlin Wall..." An Feng silently recited these three words in her heart, waiting to find the corresponding fragments from the corner of her memory. She was stunned!

"If Bian Lang sings this theme here, isn't it the same as going back to China to sing "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" in the ancient city of Chang'an? Who can the people of Berlin endure... This wave, Bian Lang is afraid of taking off in Berlin!"

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Bian Lang turning around, holding the microphone in his right hand and putting it to his mouth, with the index finger of his left hand standing vertically on his lips. She heard a soft voice from the speaker: "Shh!"

Then Bian Lang put his left hand to his ear again, as if listening...

Under the guidance of Bian Lang's performance, the scene suddenly became as quiet as a cold pool.

Then only a faint sound of electricity began to reverberate in the sky above Gendarmenmarkt, just like the noise in an old radio, which brought everyone present back to that era...

Against the background of the sound of electricity, sounds similar to knocking on the door and other environmental sounds began to appear, and then a rich male voice began to ask: "And you know? (Do you know)"

Then a young female voice answered in a weaker volume: "We needn't trick! (We don't need to trick)"

While these two sounds were looping, Bian Lang put the microphone to his mouth, opened his left hand and made a gesture of invitation toward the audience.

Then his feet began to bend slowly, and the left and right sides also drew an arc in the air.

In the direction of the stage pointed by his hand, another beam of light suddenly lit up, illuminating several foreign singers in the chorus area.

The questions and answers between men and women were still circulating, and only then did everyone realize that this was a live performance by two of the chorus singers.

This exquisite stage design immediately struck the hearts of the audience. They felt that this was not just a live rock performance, but a music stage show with a rock theme. !

Resisting the strong urge to cheer, the audience in the audience waited with bated breath for Bian Lang's next performance.

Bian Lang shrugged, and his magnetic voice and several chorus sang the first introduction of the song: "Is there anyone outside? (Is there anyone outside?)"
