Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 383: One song has two uses, string battle

Hearing Bian Lang's words, Ambassador Qin's favorable impression of Bian Lang rose to another level.

But this matter is really not as complicated as Bian Lang thought. Diplomacy is not a favor between companies or individuals. This kind of favor fighting nation will remember Bian Lang well, but it will not have much to do with the country. People The National Song and Dance Ensemble's favor has no practical effect on China...

Diplomacy requires both face and tact. Bian Lang counts this as face, and Ambassador Qin knows how to operate it.

But he finally remembered Bian Lang's feelings.

He smiled and patted Bian Lang on the shoulder and said: "Thank you, Xiao Bian! Having literary and artistic workers like you is the pride of us Chinese people. My suggestion to you is that since "The Internationale" occupies two international words, then our pattern can be opened up a little. The honor this song brings to you may be beyond your imagination. As for the next two songs, what should be expressed is how you should make money or how you should do it. .”

Then Bian Lang understood it as soon as he said it. He nodded immediately and said: "I will charge one yuan as a copyright fee for the Internationale. In the future, if cultural troupes from other countries want to use it, they will pay it at this price. "Katyusha" is licensed for free. For the Soviet Union National Song and Dance Ensemble, the last song will be as Ms. Isinbayeva said."

Ambassador Qin smiled and nodded, and then translated Bian Lang's entire decision to Isinbayeva.

After hearing this, Isinbayeva smiled and thanked Bian Lang for his generosity, and then chattered to Ambassador Qin again.

Upon hearing this, Ambassador Qin raised the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, but did not give any feedback to Bian Lang. Bian Lang was not easy to ask, so he could only stand there and chat with her.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Ambassador Qin and Isinbayeva left accompanied by Chen Shuting.

As soon as this person left, Dayong couldn't stop talking: "Lang, you are really good. You can join the cultural troupe wherever you go. Are you going to take the public examination in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Kai rolled his eyes at Dayong and said: "Keep it down. The band is taking the exam. Why don't you make a fuss about it..."

"This... I don't think it's okay!" Li Li, who never participated in the bickering between the two, also spoke up.

Although none of them knew exactly how to take the test, they all knew that it was not easy, and that it would be unreliable to do this to a group of rock music players.

But Bian Lang suddenly remembered something. There was a saying in Lexia, China on the original Earth, that the band would take public exams.

Immediately, he said abruptly: "I think this will work! Let's take the exam together next year!"

As soon as these words came out, Dayong only thought that Bian Lang was joking, and immediately agreed: "Okay, let's review together next year..."

Di Li looked at Bian Lang's expression and walked away silently without commenting.

A few people chatted in the tent for almost an hour, and then the staff came to get them ready to go on stage.

Dayong and Bian Lang put a few more warm babies on their bodies, and then heard Feimos' voice outside: "Now, let's call the Rolling Stones together!"

At his call, the audience started shouting: "Rolling stones! Rolling stones! Rolling stones! Encore, encore, encore!"

Before leaving, Dili shook his head and said with a smile: "This is the first time I've heard of the guest band being called back by the host!"

This time, the Rolling Stones were accompanied by two string players. Liu Jiayun and Tao Xingyue didn't know whether they were nervous or cold. They kept shaking on the way to the stage.

Hua Yan, who was following behind, saw it and said with relief, "Sisters, this means there are a little more people and the audience is a little more enthusiastic. The rest is no different from your performance in the concert hall."

It was good that Liu Jiayun was more out of character. Tao Xingyue, who was more cautious, followed Hua Yan's words and said: "How can this be the same? There must be tens of thousands of people in this entire Red Square. My head hurts when I hear such shouting. It will be troublesome if you forget the score for a while."

Hearing this, Hua Yan added: "It's okay, Sister Tao, it's a new song. Even if you make a mistake in one or two notes, no one will be able to hear it. Besides, if there are no ignition accidents at the rock band, Can it be called a rock scene? Brother Lang even smashed the piano during the music festival..."

After being said that, the two women present at the time recalled that scene. If they were in their original group, they would definitely be said to be deviant. But at the music festival, Bian Lang smashed the piano, which directly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

"I can't bear to part with my piano..." As soon as Tao Xingyue said these words, his tone was completely different from before. Hua Yan could tell that her words had some effect.

When all the Rolling Stones came on stage, and Hatter didn't leave, everyone knew that the two bands were probably going to collaborate on this last song together.

With the addition of two more beautiful female string players, the voices from the audience began to get louder.

Bian Lang took the microphone handed over by Feimos, pressed it down with both hands, and then said to the audience: "Thank you everyone for your love of our Rolling Stones. Today is Christmas Eve, and we will sing the last song with Hatter Let’s work together as a band to send you a blessing!”

After saying this, Bian Langchong Feimos nodded, and then a group of senior men dispersed to the sidelines, letting the two female string players move to the middle of the stage.

Although the two girls did not have Amiri's customized designs, the style of their performance clothes was not the dresses in the previous performance halls. Instead, they wore black leather clothes that were more suitable for rock music. In addition, the traditional musical instruments have been replaced by electronic violins and electronic cellos. Although they are not as elegant as they used to be in the concert hall, their extra wildness is much more eye-catching than the ones in the concert hall.

Especially Liu Jiayun, who was hanging the electronic cello on her body with straps, did not look like a performer, but more like a female warrior preparing to go into battle.

After the two stood still, the moving head lights on the stage moved together, and more than a dozen beams of light intertwined into two gathering points. The target of this beam was not the two women, but the keyboard players of Hua Yan and Hatter, and Bian Lang and Feimos also walked to the front of the stage and stood on the left and right.

While the fingers of the two keyboard players were flying on the Wrigley, a series of dynamic electronic sounds were played. Bian Lang and Feimos also followed the rhythm on the stage and led the audience to beat the music with their hands.

The two raised their hands above their heads. Every time Dayong struck the military drum twice, the two of them clapped their hands. It was only repeated twice, and all the music fans in the audience followed suit.

This scene is exactly the same as when the original Earth Rockin' 1000 played the intro of "We Will Rock You" live!

Coupled with the chorus voices from the operatic voices in the chorus area, the basics of strong rhythm and gorgeous arrangement are ready.

After eight summaries, Bian Lang and Feimos made a gesture to silence their voices, and then the intersection point of the light beams focused on Liu Jiayun.

The bow of her right hand was lifted up, and it was placed on the electronic cello that was shaped like a recurve bow in front of her. As she pulled it back and forth, the rich tone enveloped the strong rhythm and poured into the ears of everyone present.

The mixture of string music and rock music is not uncommon in Europe, but a Chinese band also uses female string players, and they are not the kind who play supporting roles. These three factors added together suddenly aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Hooked up.

If we were on the original Earth in China, many people would probably be singing along as soon as this part came out: "I just discovered the difference between dreams and reality..."

But on Aqua Blue Star, fans familiar with the Rolling Stones first thought of Huang Kai's bass solo in "Flying Birds".

Pan Xiulong, who was present at the scene, heard it immediately and immediately pulled Liu Ziyang and asked: "Is this an adaptation or something?"

Of course Liu Ziyang had heard it before, and he was also surprised that Bian Lang used this chord twice, and it was still two songs with completely different styles. If others use it, they have to add a line of tribute or something like that, or they will be accused of plagiarism, but Bian Lang wrote it himself and no one can stop him from using it.

After Liu Jiayun played two bars, Dayong played the snare drum and Huang Kai also joined the performance with a straight bass. The rich and deep tone of the electronic cello, inherited by these two main rhythm bass monsters, immediately gave it a metallic feel.

In the blink of an eye, following the rhythm, the image of a puppet show appeared in someone's mind. Watching Liu Jiayun's swaying performance on the stage, the audience in the audience also started to move in response to this strong rhythm. own neck and body.

After 8 measures, while Liu Jiayun retracted her bow, she pointed to her side. The beam of the moving head light moved to the right and focused on Tao Xingyue. She placed the electric violin on her collarbone and lowered her chin to wind the bow. .

Although the same chords are played, the pitch of the violin is higher than that of the cello. This, together with the sound of the drums and bass, immediately brings out the layered feeling of the prelude.

As the performance progressed, Bianlang and others began to carry their instruments, ready to plug in at any time.

After another 8-bar performance, Dayong's drum set played a fill-in, and then all the lights on the stage came on. Liu Jiayun strung his bow again, and after two bars, Tao Xingyue was replaced.

Now the audience present can see that these two beautiful performers are competing on the piano.

Most of the people who come here are rock fans, and they have seen a lot of guitar duels. When "Katyusha" was played earlier, Dili and Bob even had a duel.

But now this battle between two electric violins, one big and one small, is the first time for many people to see it. The key is that two beautiful Chinese performers are fighting here. Needless to say, first of all, the visual impact is enough. Got it!

Netizens who are familiar with Rolling Stone also know that Bian Lang's arrangement is very good at integrating with symphony. The previous "Believe in Myself" and "Rock on the New Long March" are the two best examples. Recently, there aren’t many string arrangements for new songs, and many people are a little confused. But now that it has come out, two violinists, one big and one small, will take the lead. It is estimated that after tonight, countless young string players who have been exhausted by classical music will start to consider the possibility of turning to rock.

Although Bian Langsui has produced arrangements that combine symphony and rock before, these were all done by large symphony orchestras. Even if these string players had the intention, they would just play along by themselves.

But this piece was different. It was completely designed as a solo piece, and the enthusiasm of these string players was immediately mobilized.

Especially watching these two "female warriors" playing the piano with ease and grace in front of tens of thousands of people, who doesn't envy those who play these two instruments?

After the two fought for a total of 12 bars, Tao Xingyue stopped and stood up, and two electric guitars, Bianlang and Dili, who were standing behind Liu Jiayun, followed at the same time. Bian Lang's rhythmic strumming is overdriven, followed by the beat sweep of Dayong's bass drum; the lead tone of Qianli follows the melody of Liu Jiayun's cello, and the distortion is fully turned on.

If it were to be judged by rock fans from the original earth, the performance style of this section should be only one step away from Night Wish!

With the addition of Bian Lang and Li Li, the cheers of the music fans in the audience started from dots to bursts, and finally swept the entire Red Square. Although it has been almost a minute and a half without a single lyric, no one finds it boring or boring.

As for Xiaopo Station, a netizen who didn’t know his camp posted a barrage in the live broadcast room: “The intro to the intro is already one and a half minutes long. Isn’t this a piece of pure music?”

As soon as he said this, a guy who was obviously not a rock fan jumped out and said, "That's it? You've been waiting for more than an hour in vain. What kind of song is it if you don't sing a word? Aren't the Rolling Stones fooling people?" ?”

It doesn't matter what he said, the barrage on Xiaobo station started to explode. This time no one echoed, they were all criticizing him:

"The person who stays up late is either Rolling Stone's True Love or Heizi. This student, Heizi, tells you a shortcut key for quick reply: AIT+F4!"

"Kid, for the sake of your health, it's better to go to bed early and get up early, and listen to your pop songs. This is not the place for you!"

"After research, the longer the intro, the more harmful the song is!"

Moreover, some of these people who play classical music also spoke:

"What's wrong with pure music? Who can't sing? It's just a matter of whether it sounds good or not! Do you play musical instruments? Haha! The combined years of playing musical instruments of these people on stage is as old as several generations of your family!"

"Zhang Muyu, violinist of the West China Symphony Orchestra, supports the Rolling Stones in real name!"

The person who sent the message was kicked out of bed after his girlfriend snatched his phone back: "Are you sick? You need to use your own number. Get out of the living room and Go to sleep, dog! I'm warning you, whenever there is a Rolling Stones performance in the future, you won't be able to sleep in my bed for a week!"

The warrior frowned and looked at the calendar with red circles on his female voting table, and suddenly his heart was filled with despair!

But here in Moscow, after the same eight bars, Tao Xingyue led Feimos and Bob to start a new performance.

It wasn't until one minute and 42 seconds that Feimos walked to the microphone stand and waited for all the instruments to play the next verse at the same time. He sang the first lyrics in a clear and boyish voice: " God rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our saviour..."

As soon as these lyrics came out, some fans at the scene who had been brainwashed by rock and roll suddenly realized: "It turns out that today is still Christmas Eve!"

Some excited fans shouted: "OMG, this is a rock anthem!!!"

Immediately afterwards, Bian Lang walked up to the microphone stand and sang with a bass sound that sounded like it came from the abyss: "Was born on Christmas Day (Born on Christmas Day) To save us all from Satan's power (Save us from Satan's power)" ) When we were gone astray (When we went astray) O tidings of comfort and joy (Oh! God-given gospel)..."

Then the two people and the five choruses sang together: "Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy (bringing comfort and joy)..."

Moreover, the five choruses are divided into two parts, treble and bass, and with one bass and one alto from Bianlang and Feimos, the last sentence becomes the effect of a trio.

Coupled with the powerful accompaniment of various electronic instruments, a rock trio's "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" ignited the climax of today's festive atmosphere!

Although it is not Russian, the popularity of English in Moscow is always higher than that of Chinese. In addition, these words are not complicated, which greatly lowers the understanding threshold for live music fans. And without the tragic national background, the enthusiasm released by the fans at the scene was even worse than before.

After this part was sung, the previous part where the two women played the piano appeared again as an interlude.

This time, it was not just the two female string players who participated in the duel, but four other guitarists also joined in.

This one-on-one duel turned into a group fight, and the momentum suddenly changed!

If you had seen the two women before: "Holding the grass, cheating!"

So the current scene of group fights is: "Hold the grass! It's so cool!" Especially among them are masters like Bob, Li Li, and Bian Lang, who is omnipotent in the eyes of music fans.

And in a sense, this is still a blind gesture with bare hands. Everyone is holding a dick in their hands. Xiaopo immediately made a controversial post: "Isn't this better than those in Douwu?"

But everyone who responded to him had the same attitude: "Haha, you just know, how can this be compared! Without music, what are the dancers doing?"

During this interlude, the chorus members also cooperated with two lines, which raised the gorgeousness of the song's arrangement to another level.

In the eyes of those professionals, this song may be a bit too limited to be defined as rock music.

And in Olaf's mind, there were so many possible directions for the song. European neo-folk music, bel canto chorus, etc. are all things that can be modified without any sense of inconsistency.

If Bian Lang heard what he said, he would definitely add to him with a smile: "I can even change a pop song for you!"

But there is an important premise here, that is, the order in which this song or this chord appears on Aquamarine is reversed from that on the original Earth.

This English song only existed in "Flying Bird", so it doesn't matter if "Flying Bird" doesn't become popular. As long as this song "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" becomes popular, there will always be people who will trace the source and discover it. this source.

At that time, Bian Lang wanted to see those people say in surprise: "What? The song "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" actually evolved from a Chinese rock song!"

After the interlude, Bian Lang and the others played the exact same verse and chorus to the audience again.

With the foreshadowing of the first two times, when the third song started, half of the people at the scene were already singing along!

When the chorus reached its climax, almost 90% of the music fans present sang along with the group on stage: "When we were gone astray, O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy... …”

As the singing stopped abruptly, there was also the sound of all the musical instruments on the stage!

At this point, the performance of this super-staffed band of more than 15 people has come to an end.

All the fans at the scene did not expect that the performance would end with the blessing of a rock Christmas song.

Although there are still some unfinished thoughts, at this moment none of them can say anything to let Rolling Stone continue.

After all, this ending was the most perfect ending they had ever expected!

What they are thinking now is: "There should be no band in the world who understands us better than the Rolling Stones!"

"Not only can I sing the red blood with the Internationale, but I can also understand the sadness of the people of Moscow, and finally I can send blessings to everyone with a rock hymn."

Where else can you find a band like this besides the Rolling Stones?

In contrast, Hatter has no surprises. Many Moscow music fans have the illusion that Hatter is just a smoke bomb and the Rolling Stones are the real protagonists tonight!
