Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 427 Compass Band

At the scene, Yang Meng and the Compass Band have already begun preparing for the main stage.

Of all the members of the band, only Yang Meng, the lead singer, has not officially appeared on stage tonight. Even the two string players Liu Jiayun and Tao Xingyue have accompanied other bands as accompanists.

As for Strauss and Ding Ding, it was already their third time on stage, so she, Yang Meng, was the most nervous in this all-female rock band, and it was at such a large concert!

If it's at a music festival, she thinks there's still some room for error, but if it's at a concert, if the performance really fails, it's going to be a really big stage show.

Tonight, all the members are members of the Rolling Stones' internal band, so the audience in the audience will definitely feel the contrast, and this is the first time the band has participated in such a large-scale live performance since its establishment.

"Meng! Don't be nervous! You have to believe that we are the most unique female rock band in China!" Faced with encouragement from an experienced player like Strauss, Yang Meng found some confidence.

Under Ding Ding's call, everyone held each other's shoulders and held a cheering ceremony.

Then, I heard Niu Bo introduce at the beginning: "The next one to perform is a new band under the Rolling Stones. It is also a rock band composed entirely of girls. Let us welcome Compass!"

When they heard the label "all girls", everyone in the room, both men and women, started howling.

Regardless of whether they have known Yang Meng before or not, they all feel that their eyes are shining brightly!
Needless to say, the visual impact of all the girls, the technical strength of each musician is also excellent, and the live vocalist is crisp, so the applause and cheers received at this time are already on par with when the Rolling Stones were on the field. .

The ratio of male to female musicians in the rock circle is about 10:1. Among the poor 1% of female musicians, you still need to find a group of people who can communicate normally and effectively to play in a band together and sing songs sung by the Rolling Stones. Take it over and arrange it so well!
This is the Compass Band that will be known as one of the top 10 unsolved mysteries of Chinese rock music many years later!
Liu Yao looked at Yang Meng on the stage, feeling excited and praying at the same time: "I hope this band can go as far as possible with the help of the monster Bian Lang!"

Before the veteran finished speaking, Xiao Nan interrupted directly: "Don't believe me if I tell you, it's all about women. They won't get along after a long time, and they can quarrel all night long over trivial things... Cobra is I feel that even if sisters start a band together, they will not escape the fate of disbanding in the end!"

Before Xiao Nan could answer, another veteran interrupted him and said, "Isn't there an old saying that men and women work together to make them less tired, so..."

"I can't say it's not possible at all at that time, but the company didn't treat them as musicians. It felt like they were just hyping up this gender gimmick!"

Compass's first song was "No Escape", which was sung by the Rolling Stones at the Haicaihua Music Festival. Yang Meng and Ding Ding were the first people to see it live.

In his last life, Bian Lang remembered that he once chatted with Sister Nan from Cobra, and he even asked her: "Sister Nan, in fact, there are many female rock musicians in our country, why can't we form two more bands with all girls? ?”

When I heard about Compass today, my manager took a few girls to watch the live broadcast in the company.

Of course, this is just the feeling of Bian Lang, the head of the Rolling Stones, and the audience in the audience is completely different.

However, the most touching thing was the group of rock and roll players at the scene. Only those who are in it know how difficult it is to be an all-girl rock band.

"Isn't this the original Qimeng band team? In the original company, they were simply..."

The Qimeng band mentioned by netizens, after the company found three new girls to join, continued to rehearse and perform under the brand of the first domestic female rock band.

Thinking of these words, Bian Lang heard a rapid drum beat in his mind, and then the voice of an electronic female Bodhisattva came: "You must see the flowers bloom, and you must wait for the swallows to return. Thinking that they will all come back, I will fight to the death." For all this existence..."

……

As soon as Yang Meng opened his mouth, the new lead singer said: "That's it? I feel worse than before!"

"Why is there still a ball of fire in your eyes? I don't know what to do..."

Yes, that’s howling!
Bian Lang, who was backstage, was filled with emotion when faced with this scene. A rock band composed entirely of girls is an absolute rare species, both on the original earth and here.

However, Yang Meng and his band used to play metal, so it shouldn't be too difficult to pick up this kind of hard rock song.

Including rehearsals, this was the second time Bian Lang heard her sing this song. The frosty voice made Bian Lang very comfortable. If I want to use an analogy, it is not as "smoking and alcoholic" as the original Earth Tian Zhen, but it has a little more tenderness.

Netizens also sent their blessings in the barrage:
"Come on! It's not easy to be a female band in China!"

"If you are serious about making music, you still have to come to Rolling Stone and come on Compass!"

Facing the lead singer who had been eliminated from the girl group, the bassist who had not left immediately silenced her with one sentence: "This is real singing, without millions of tuners and post-processing!"

The lead singer heard this and immediately shut up...

"No Escape" is already an old track by the Rolling Stones, so many fans can sing along with the chorus: "I want you to be different from me, give you a sun and fantasy, but you refuse and say to me, now There has been a little change..." Facing the scene of tens of thousands of people singing together, Yang Meng tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart before finishing the song.

And after singing, she waved to her friends, then bowed to the fans in the audience and said: "I'm sorry, fans, I was a little nervous just now, and the tempo of this song was wrong in two places!"

Just after hearing this sentence, all the people in the rock circle looked a little bad.

They all thought that this girl might have learned some kind of tea trick to steal singing time when she was in the previous company.

Pan Jianhu was also a little panicked. If Yang Meng was really such a person, then...

Just when I thought of this, I heard Yang Meng continue: "So, please give us some time to grow. Our compass will get better and better. The next song..."

After hearing this, the group of people who had been afraid to breathe just now felt relieved.

If he really said something like, "Let me sing it again...", then the band would probably have to change their lead singer.

If it's your own concert, then you can re-sing it as many times as you want, but this kind of concert with a high density of songs also involves a time like New Year's Eve. Let alone dragging out one song, even if it's Saying one more word may cause accidents in subsequent performances.

Bian Lang remembers one time when he participated in a commercial performance. Mao Chuan and the others were arranged at the New Year's Eve time. As a result, the previous steps were delayed a little. They went up and started playing the prelude, and the host started counting down with the audience. .

Then there are the New Year’s Eve fireworks and Uncle Hat’s clearance!

In the end, they didn't sing a word of the lyrics, but just led the audience to say: "Happy New Year!" and received 50 performance fees.

Bian Lang and Li Hongqi, who were performing in the front, joked when they saw Mao Chuan and asked him to share the money. They both said that they were not delaying the time in the front, so they could not be as relaxed as they were in the back.

It was impossible to divide the money, but that night Mao Chuan and his group were all drunk and lay down in the hotel.

Today is the Rolling Stones during New Year's Eve. It wouldn't be pretty if the Rolling Stones started counting down to New Year's Eve in the middle of their song.

With the encouragement of the audience, Compass started playing the band's next song.

The girls wrote this song themselves, so the effect is naturally not as good as "No Escape", but judging from the intensity of the applause and cheers, the fans at the scene still recognized it.

During this period, Chen Xuan, the "fried chicken girl" who had just stepped off the stage, asked Bian Lang: "Teacher Bian, where did she sing wrong?"

"If you compare it one-to-one with the version I sang, there are more than two places. When she said that, I probably just relieved myself of the pressure. You can ask Teacher Liu later if he heard it. Anyway, few people in the audience would be able to hear what they said..."

There really was this factor mentioned by Bian Lang. After Yang Meng spoke, he really relaxed a lot and found his mood for the last song!
After singing the two songs, Yang Meng took a deep breath and said, surrounded by applause, "The following song is a new song written for us by Brother Lang."

After hearing this introduction, many music fans became excited:

"Count it, there are a few new songs tonight!"

"Bian Lang sang two songs by himself, "Trick" by Second Hand Rose, "Da Feng Song" by Gale Band, and "Ideal Thirty" by the folk song. If you add this one, it will be 6 songs!"

“I don’t know how many more songs will be released later, but I guess there will be one more from Mayuan Poets!”

While they were discussing, Yang Meng bowed to the backstage, and then said: "This song is very difficult. If there are any problems after a while, Brother Lang, please be more patient!"

Bian Lang waved his hand to her disapprovingly, thinking in his heart: "If there are still so many things next time, I will have a good talk with her."

Amidst the roars of laughter from the fans in the audience, Yang Mengchang took a few breaths and then said into the microphone: "'I'm Expecting' is for everyone!"

After Yang Meng said this, the main lighting on the stage went dark, and only the surface light illuminated Yang Meng in the C position.

Seeing this, the music fans in the audience consciously stopped all discussions and became quiet.

Then, the piano melody simulated by Su Kan on the keyboard began to float over the stadium.

Yang Mengmai, who was holding an electric guitar, closed her eyes and listened carefully to the sounds in her ears. After the two-bar prelude, she held the microphone with both hands and sang in a clear chest voice:
"I look forward to one day I will come back..."
