Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 443 Next Song

The chorus continues several times and finally ends at an ever-increasing speed.

Many listeners are still immersed in the spiritual resonance of "Who will live and die with me... Who will live and die with me?" The outro, led by Gao Feng's SOLO who is sharpening the lead guitar, continues to add various BUFFs to the song.

Following the score and playing the solo, it feels like replacing the lead singer Bian Lang with an electric guitar, repeatedly singing the chorus with higher and higher notes.

Miss Pipa Jing also plays an important role in this. The backbeat solo at the same speed feels like a chorus to the sharpened lead guitar, which makes this ending sound both layered and layered. The elements of national style were not thrown away.

Anyone who has listened to "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" knows that the Rolling Stones are accomplished in the fusion of folk music and rock.

But the explosive metal style of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" can be heard by one's ears. Some people will indeed sound uncomfortable after putting aside the patriotic filter. But this song "Swords Like a Dream" is completely different. It doesn't feel as violent as Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty, and the lyrics are not as magnificent as "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty". However, it is easier to get ordinary music than Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty. Favored by fans.

When setting the theme of "Rolling Stone Jianghu", Bian Lang struggled with the song selection for a while. The word "jianghu" has an inseparable feeling in it for every Chinese son and daughter, and it is in everyone's eyes. He has different meanings.

In the eyes of some people, the Jianghu may be the youthful spirit of "who once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with a sword"; it may also be the loyalty of "who is dedicated to building up his family's reputation and will not be surprised even if he dies"; The heroic spirit is dry.

In the end, he chose "Swords Like Dreams" because he remembered that a media person from the original Earth commented on this song: "As soon as Zhou Huajian opened his mouth, the whole world was changed!"

From now on, it feels like not many people know this reincarnation band...

Wu Tong's voice: "How can I bear to let someone who loves you like this shed tears again? How can I bear to let all the happiness not belong to me..." It really leaves many people in their 70s and 80s still fresh in their memories.

As for Wu Tong, as the lead singer of the band Samsara, he and Dou Xian were recognized as the two strongest singers in the rock circle at the same time.

BJ, Geng Rong pressed the pause button again and said excitedly to the creators of "Sword and Swordsman": "Did you hear, did you hear, this is the song I want..."

Before Producer Liu could answer, a new creative director interjected: "Is it possible that Bian Lang wrote the song for "Tractor Band," a popular online movie, and made Huang Wei popular again? Is it okay if we get this song..."

Later, Samsara also followed the lead of Black Panther in searching for a lead singer across the country, and then found Wu Tiehua, the iconic female lead singer with "no falsetto" and "double tone" in the high range. However, she was fired later and was eventually replaced by Zhao sail.

In addition to Wu Tong, the band's lead guitarist Zhao Wei is also a big shot. Apart from anything else, just the title of retired with the rank of major is unique in the industry. At the same time, he and Wu Tong were among the first rock stars to appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Moreover, Boss Wu Tong, like the captain, has shown his skills as a "weapons master" on Xiaopo Station. The key point is that he is not only great at playing, but his composing and arranging skills are absolutely top-notch. After all, the Grammy is not a pheasant award. Although it is not an individual award, the gold content of being able to receive the award on stage cannot be overshadowed.

Although lonely, the songs of Samsara Band during Wu Tong's period are still very popular, such as "Man Jiang Hong", which was also selected by Bian Lang as the last song of "Rolling Stone Jianghu"...

Speaking of this big guy, we have to talk about the Samsara Band. This is also the only early rock band in the history of Chinese rock music on Earth that all members came from college.

Before the next words were spoken, everyone present almost guessed what he was going to say: "Let the heroine An Feng sing!"

But since Wu Tong joined Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Band to play the Lusheng, his relationship with the band began to undergo subtle changes. It wasn't until 04 that he was "fired" from the band while performing in the United States!

Producer Liu had the same thought in his mind, but he kept calm: "Old Geng, the song is good, but I have a question, where do you plan to put it?"

Bian Lang feels that the number of times this song has been covered on the original earth will not be less than 4 digits, and only two of them can be remembered by him. One is a version with a modified version of Tan's old tune, which is called the classic "Crusher" She, at a large party, once again lived up to expectations and showed the audience that singing skills and arrangement ability are not the same thing.

"Anyway, it's either the theme song or the ending song. What do you think, Old Liu..."

The man named Guo Zi did not answer immediately. He took out a Zhongnanhai cigarette from the cigarette case and put it on the tip of his nose, sniffing it back and forth. After thinking for a while, he said: "I can't say...according to the quality of this song, the ending Both the song and the theme song are fine. But there is always a priority, when it comes to promotion..."

Guo Zi immediately opened his mouth and interrupted before he could finish his words: "No! If we can take it down, we can't mention it. It all depends on Teacher Bian Lang's arrangement!"

The other is a version adapted by Mr. Wu Tong. Needless to say, Mr. Wu, who is known as an artist, sang this song with a different kind of momentum. Bian Lang's adaptation of this version is based on Wu Tong's version. Both the pre-chorus and the flute prelude are based on Wu Tong's adapted version.

The reason why Bian Lang remembered it was, firstly, because the time when he saw it was too close, and secondly, because it was unpleasant to hear. In the words of Mr. Heidao: "This is just to make this song awkward and add trouble to the audience. It is very unpleasant and makes people unable to smell a trace of the original work!"

……

Geng Rong was stunned when asked this question, then turned to the music director and said, "Guo Zi, what do you think of this song?"

"Guo Zi, look, this is the best of all three things..."

"Huang Wei is really suitable. An Feng has a great white voice. She has no problem singing songs like Teacher Bian's "Fried Chicken", but she can't grasp this song "Swords Like Dreams". Look at this crossover In 2016, I took advantage of Bian Langge’s satellite TV stations and the effect of being willing to listen to suggestions was not bad, except for the fruit station, which was messed up, and the result was..."

When he was told that, the person who had just opened his mouth immediately shut up.

However, Producer Liu said: "I think it depends on Guo Zi, but it's not that An Feng can't sing, it's just that the version she sings doesn't need to be used in movies, promotions, premieres, etc. Miss An is not entering the music world. Isn’t her mind set? Didn’t she go to Europe to study with Bian Lang a few years ago? I think it’s unlikely that Bian Lang would disagree with her if she spoke. However, we still have to agree on how much money everyone recommends spending on this song. ?”

As soon as this question came up, everyone looked at Guo Zi first. He was the most familiar with the market price of OST, so... Guo Zi sighed, ordered the Zhongnanhai that he had not ordered before, and took a deep breath. Scratching his head, he said: "This is really nonsense. The copyright for the two songs used in Zhou Mo's "Tractor Band" for the movie was given to 6 figures. I don't know the specific amount. But that price should be nothing now. Is it a reference value? Bian Lang's songs are now very valuable. If he doesn't plan to sing them himself, then there's no telling how valuable they are. If he says to find a singer to sing them, believe it or not, someone will come immediately. Spray Guan Ying until she shuts down!"

After being pointed out by Guo Zi, Producer Liu and Geng Rong realized that this matter was really not that simple.

Producer Liu thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

The call was hung up after two rings. Just when Producer Liu was about to complain, a message came back from the other end: "Brother Liu, I'm sorry, please wait for three minutes!"

"This boy Luotuo is really..."

Three minutes later, Qiu Luo's call came back: "Brother Liu, I'm sorry. I was just listening to Brother Lang's new work and I couldn't bear to interrupt. Don't mind! What's the important thing to find my brother at this time?"

Producer Liu didn't go around in circles and got straight to the point: "Luotuo, I'm here to ask you. What's the current market situation for asking for an OST from Brother Yilang? I won't talk about those vain people outside. I just miss you." The insiders will give me a range."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Luo really didn't know how to respond: "Brother Liu, if you are not a brother, I won't..."

Before he finished speaking, Producer Liu interrupted directly: "Luotuo, I have a new film to prepare after the Spring Festival, and the position of assistant director is reserved for you!"

Hearing this, Qiu Luo smiled helplessly in his heart. He didn't expect that he could easily get the position of assistant director because of this incident in a big-screen production that he had longed for but had no chance to participate in. You must know that Producer Liu has a lot of energy in the industry, and the directors he works with are all big names recognized by the market and the audience.

"Brother Liu, I don't have a clue about this now, but brother will definitely help you implement it. But regarding the assistant director, I don't think I have the ability yet. I'll come back when I'm ready in the future. Please Brother Liu..."

Qiu Luo's mentality is very stable now, and he has no shortage of various training opportunities at Rolling Stone. He will not stop the relationship, but he also knows very well that if he accepts Producer Liu's promise to be an assistant director, then he will have to help Bian Lang lower the price, let alone such a sensitive matter now, even if he usually He also didn't want to use this kind of thing to consume the relationship between him and Bian Lang as brothers and friends.

Hearing that this was the case, Producer Liu also had some concerns and said back: "I'll wait until you believe it." Then he hung up the phone with a smile.

Then he asked Geng Rong for Chen Shuting's contact information. After thinking for a while, he said, "Watch the Rolling Stones' performance first. If Qiu Luo doesn't give you any news, I'll call Chen Shuting myself!"

……

In the living room of the Magic City Folk Orchestra, the band leader Zhao Pei and a woman wearing a new Chinese-style cardigan were sitting on the sofa.

Just after reading this paragraph, the woman directly pressed the pause button, swept her hand over the white hair that hung in front of her eyes to block her vision, and asked Zhao Pei: "Captain Zhao, we really should try more traditional folk music to make young people more interested." The performance method that is easy to interest gives young people who are still insisting on learning folk music some motivation and confidence to persevere. "

"Teacher Jiang, you are right. After Xiao Tang collaborated with the Rolling Stones abroad, the level of attention young people paid to us was completely beyond our expectations. But we still performed those old songs without any innovation. This wave of enthusiasm has passed, and it will eventually return to the original situation. Now that the Rolling Stones are being targeted, I want to help, but just relying on the influence of our group..."

As a famous pipa player in China, Jiang Zhuzhi is a person with outstanding reputation and ability in the folk music circle. She learned pipa from her father at the age of 6, and went to Europe to perform with the National Folk Orchestra at the age of 18. At the age of 61, she is still actively working to spread Chinese folk music.

When "Chinese People" went viral on the Internet, she participated in the spread. Today, she came to see Zhao Pei. She was originally going to discuss collaborating on a traditional song. Unexpectedly, she was pulled by Zhao Pei to watch it before they even got down to business. Started the video.

When she was watching "Between Fingers" earlier, she was very interested in watching the first song "Drunken Madness". Then when she watched the horse racing, her hands were a little itchy. When the next pipa song "Ambush from Flying Daggers" came on, she became very interested. The smile on Jiang Zhuzhi's lips could no longer be hidden.

She was even thinking in her mind: "If this "Between Fingers" was performed by myself using the pipa, the effect would definitely not be bad."

Now listening to "Swords Like Dreams" again, Jiang Zhuzhi felt that Bian Lang, a rock musician, was really ambitious.

They, those in the folk music circle, often talk about promoting folk music, but how many of them are high-minded people who always insist on promoting it by going out. But in Jiang Zhuzhi's view, it makes sense to "find a new way" like Bian Lang to make folk music more popular at home, and then go global.

Otherwise, it will be the same as before, performing abroad to full houses, but having to rely on administrative subsidies to pay wages at home. If this kind of thing is said, no one knows who is being thrown away.

Thinking of this, she had long forgotten the business of coming to Zhao Pei, and said seriously: "You can find me a practice room later, and I will play a pipa version of "Swords Like a Dream", and then You record a video for me. By the way, Miss Tang should have a relationship with Rolling Stone, so please give me a message..."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhao Pei was already laughing like a rotten persimmon. When he heard the last sentence, he directly slapped his chest and said: "Don't worry, I will bring the message to Teacher Jiang."

"Then tell Bian Lang, the song writer and arranger, if you don't mind that my old lady is too old, I would like to have the opportunity to rock out with their band!"

In the past, when Zhao Pei heard this, he would definitely think that Jiang Zhuzhi was joking with him, but in today's situation, he had no choice but to disbelieve it. Not to mention Jiang Zhuzhi, a pipa player, even Jiang Zhuzhi, a band leader with a background as a conductor, also wanted to collaborate with the Rolling Stones.

Not to mention the distance, as for the horse racing song on "Between Fingers", he wanted to let the Magic City Folk Orchestra give it a try himself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Pei directly agreed: "Okay, I will contact Xiao Tang and ask her to help convey..." As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his phone and started typing.

However, this first message was not sent to Tang Qiao, but to the person in charge of publicity work in the group: "Use the group's official WeChat account to publicly contact Rolling Stone to ask for cooperation in "Horse Racing"..."

At this moment, Jiang Zhuzhi pressed the play button and saw a line of names popping up under the song introduction in the lower left corner of the screen: "Fenghuo Yangzhou Road"!
