Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 472 Half of the Country
Upon hearing this, Dayong's expression began to become complicated.

After spending the past six months getting along with each other, he couldn't express his feelings for the Rolling Stones in words, but if he really had to give up his position now, he felt that he would be drunk for at least a month!

But he is also very aware of the current gap between himself and Kong Liang.

If the Rolling Stones were replaced by Kong Liang, it would be hard to say...

When the battle between heaven and man had just reached this point, Bian Lang spoke up: "Why don't you dare? But Rolling Stone has great courage. You still have to think about how to do it when you come."

Bian Lang said this without any hesitation.

There is always a shortage of good drummers, let alone such top masters in the country. But it is impossible to replace Dayong just because he is here.

In his opinion, whether a band can last for a long time is secondary to technical issues. The most important thing is whether several people can work together.

In the past six months with the Rolling Stones, the temperaments and personalities of several people have become similar.

Besides, there is still room for Dayong to continue to improve. Kong Liang feels like a drummer who has reached his peak. When working together, if there is a conflict of ideas, it is easy to break up.

Kong Liang, who saw Dayong's expression in his eyes, clicked his tongue and said: "Dayong, look how anxious you are. I won't compete with you, I just want to find a safe and stable class in Rolling Stone now. I met my daughter last year... …”

The school issue is nothing new within the Rolling Stones, but not many people outside the Stones know much about it.

In his two lifetimes combined, Bian Lang has seen countless male musicians become fathers.

If it had been left in the past, Kong Liang would have refused directly without even thinking about it, and he would have had to say a few words.

For example, the lead guitarist of his band never drank too much before he had a daughter, but since his wife became pregnant, he would limit his drinking every time they ate together, and he has become gentler.

"Being a teacher in a music school? Can I do this? I haven't even attended college for a day. I have only taught a few young drummers before. This..."

After hearing Kong Liang's proactive explanation, everyone understood why he made this choice.

Among them, the most common ones are those who are slaves to their daughters. The name and photo tattoos are just superficial, because there are many real cases of having daughters who changed from "evil men" to "warm men".

Everyone thought that according to Kong Liang's temper, he would not agree to such a thing.

Although he trusted Bian Lang, he was still a little uneasy before Bian Lang actually said it.

Although he didn't know if becoming a teacher would change his daughter's view of him, he was sincerely willing to give it a try.

Some people have even imagined that his daughter disowned him, and then Kong Liang desperately wanted to "change his ways" and finally gain recognition and enter her life.

After hearing this, Dayong's hanging heart was completely relieved.

But things were different now. He was thinking about his daughter and was willing to make the biggest change for her.

As for Kong Liang's personal life and past, Bian Lang wouldn't care as long as it wasn't that.

Rock and roll, you can't play it if you don't have any temper. Since I actively want to return to the business environment from the underground, I must have thought about making some arrangements with my previous life.

If someone makes a mistake during band rehearsal, the person will be scolded even more harshly than Bian Lang.

But who would have thought that after hearing the words "be a teacher", Kong Liang, who has been arrogant all his life, actually showed a little timidity.

"Okay, after this performance is over, you can come back to Spring City with us to have a look. If there is no suitable band for the time being, wait until our Rolling Stone Music School comes up and we can arrange for you to teach students there."

Although his tone of voice was somewhat self-doubting and defensive, everyone present could tell that this Mr. Liang really wanted to give it a try.

But when he was her daughter's accompanist, no matter what the situation, no matter how long it took, he would always be a kind old father figure.

"There aren't any of us serious about studying music, right? But there shouldn't be many people in the circle who don't recognize us... When the school is established, I'm going to give lessons to the students."

As soon as Liu Ziyang opened his mouth, Kong Liang's worries disappeared.

Although he had never done this kind of work before, he still asked one more question: "Can you find a place where I can get used to it in advance?"

Before Bianlang could express his position, Dayong spoke: "Master Liang, I have taught children before, how about I communicate with you?"

"You can stop me, Dayong. You are teaching children. By then, all the people who come to the music school will be adults. The tricks of coaxing children won't work."

Huang Kai had just finished speaking, and Hua Yan added: "I think when the time comes, I will teach them the history of Chinese rock and roll in the first class when they enter the school. After listening to the history of Chinese rock and roll, they will face the challenges of teachers like Brother Liang and others. When the time comes, I will naturally be convinced.”

Bian Lang never went to college, but he felt that Hua Yan's advice was quite reliable, just like when he went to school, he must take the ideological and political test.

With ideological worship, students will be willing to listen to whatever the teacher says. Of course, if it's a pretty female teacher, there's nothing much to say.

"Hua Yan's suggestion is good, but once Lao Tan has sorted out the charter for establishing the school, the teachers who are sure to teach will have to go to Dian Yi or Xinghai to learn."

Although Bian Lang said so, in fact, he still thought of a suitable band form for Kong Liang.

He remembered that at a New Year's Eve party at Station B, the Finnish heavy metal band Apocalypse had a configuration that was very suitable for Kong Liang, the "explosive drummer".

Find three or four classically trained cellists, who don't need any lead singers, and follow the same path as Revelation. First, they will copy Metallica's songs into an album, and then make various arrangements to blend classical music and music. Let’s do a sweep of metal music. This is another band that can expand its territory around the world.

When the time comes, I will look for an opportunity to play out some of Takanashi Koji's works from "Fairy Tail" first. But he won't mention it now until Kong Liang officially joins.

After dinner, the Rolling Stones and their group went to the rehearsal room at the agreed time.

When they arrived, a group of people were smoking at the door. Bian Lang only knew Rongzi and Zhou Kun, and there were 6 other people he didn't know.

After Raft raised his hand to say hello, when Bian Lang and the others approached, he began to introduce: "Bian Lang, the song was written by Acridine!"

Bian Lang had no objection to this very rock-and-roll introduction method. He stepped forward to take the cigarette lighter from the rafters and put it on before saying: "Thank you guys for coming. I hope that after this performance, everyone can find opportunities more often." Juju. It’s not easy for Chinese rock music today..."

A man wearing an octagonal hat who was called Commander answered: "The ambition is not small! The music market now gives rock and roll too little room to survive, and there isn't much we can do. If you have this heart, we will do our best to support you. First hand. If something like this happens to Guan Ying, I'll just start talking about it. Those pop singers are not even worthy of carrying our shoes!"

If anyone else said this, it would be a bit like taking credit after the fact, but when the commander said this, no one really said anything about him.

Before coming, Bian Lang had figured out the identities of these veterans. The commander named Commander was one of the top lead singers in the rock band Water Blue Star. Later, after the band broke up, they basically lived like an immortal. They rented a yard in Miyun and planted fruit trees while continuing to make music.

An album of pure music will be released in two to three years, mostly using some unpopular ethnic instruments. Bian Lang felt that this person was somewhat similar to the original Earth's Huanqing, but he was much more famous inside and outside the circle than Huanqing.

"Thank you, Commander. If rock music wants to rise again, this kind of thing will only happen more and more in the future. We can't always count on you guys to help us young people succeed!"

As soon as Bian Lang finished replying, another person named Li Kai also spoke up: "This is different. You still have to fight against them in the current music market. After you are busy doing this without any desire, they will also take advantage of us." There is nothing we can do.”

This former keyboard player has now been behind the scenes for many years, and now he mainly works on soundtracks for movies.

Before Bian Lang could respond, another person who felt like he had some signs of albinism answered: "Brother Kai, among these old buddies, you have the most energy in the circle now. If you are going to finish this time, you will have more Let’s take Bian Lang to meet some people in BJ, so that when this happens again, there will be no other people shouting out except people from the rock circle.”

When I started speaking, this person's name was Luo Lin, the lead singer of the Locust Song Band. Although he is almost 60 years old, at first glance, he looks as if he is 40 years old, and he seems to be getting more and more demonic as he gets older. The Migratory Band is also the only band that was founded in the late 80s and is still going on today.

Moreover, I really don’t know how Luo Lin’s voice is maintained. There is no trace of throat decay at all. Bian Lang compared his recent live videos from three months ago, and they were really the same as those from decades ago.

"Thank you Brother Luo and Brother Kai. When everything is over here, come to Spring City and find me!"

Li Kai didn't say anything, but Luo Lin said unceremoniously: "Then I won't be polite to you. Give our band a place at this year's Rolling Stone Music Festival!"

Faced with this kind of overture, there was no reason for Bian Lang not to agree, but she didn't know how hard Rongzi and Ding Tong had to work to make these people who were usually hard to invite willing to be so friendly to him.

The other three who didn't speak included a wind player and two lead singers, both of whom were from the same period as the original Blooming Band.

In addition to Bian Lang and Kong Liang, the four members of the Blooming Band, and Liu Yao, who has not arrived yet, these 15 people will be the live lineup on the day when the song "Gift" is performed.

From the most senior commander to the youngest generation Bian Lang, it is no exaggeration to say that this is half of the Chinese rock circle.

Liu Ziyang, the most emotional person, looked at the lineup and began to imagine in his mind the scene where countless rock fans were crying at their mobile screens on the day of the performance.

When several people finished smoking, Liu Yaoren also arrived. As the only woman among the 15 people, her appearance meant that the paparazzi were not far away.

So after a few people entered the shed, a rather blurry photo of the rock half appeared on social media.

The person who posted this picture was Lao Deng. Ever since he and Bian Lang got to know each other, his work focus has been more or less on various rock bands.

With the strong rise of the Rolling Stones in the past six months, he has been on the right track, and his income has been far behind those of the paparazzi who were at a similar level to him before.

Tujie looked at the deliberately fake photo, then took a picture of the 500MM lens placed on the car seat and said with a bitter smile: "It really ruins your reputation!"

But Lao Deng smiled nonchalantly: "I think this scale is just right now. People won't criticize us, and we can also get traffic. It's the best of both worlds."

Tujie thought about it and lit a cigarette and agreed: "Indeed, if such an unclear photo is taken, those rock fans will probably have to discuss it for a long time without making any guesses. Isn't this going to get hotter?" "?"

Seeing a colleague approaching, Lao Deng took out the pointing pen from his waistcoat and rolled down the window. He rushed to a naughty child playing next to him and said, "Kid, uncle, let me give you a toy. You can point it at the car over there." Playing with the glass."

The naughty children are curious about everything they are not familiar with, not to mention things that can emit light beams during the day. Then they followed Lao Deng's instructions and stared at the car window of the companion. Harder.

When I saw green dots shooting over me, I quickly put down my camera and looked towards Lao Deng and the others. However, apart from the naughty kid holding a pointing pen, there are no traces of Lao Deng and Tujie anywhere.

The final result was that when the paparazzi went to educate the naughty child, he scared the naughty child to tears. By the time the paparazzi came out of the police station, half of the Chinese rock scene had already started eating and drinking in Xiu's mutton-shabu restaurant.

It wasn't just the 15 of them who went, there were more than 40 bands and singers who were going to perform, making the atmosphere in Xiujia's store extremely lively.

Xiu Jieke's parents naturally knew what they were going to do next. The two old men looked at these ordinary people with a fierce look, but the rock man who had taken care of their business for many years had long been tired of saying thank you. Only Xiu's father Only the waiter who keeps drinking cups can express his emotions.

When he was at his happiest after drinking, the commander stood up and let the old couple experience the group version of "Gift" in advance!
When Zhang Ting sang with his voice that was about to break, with tears in his eyes, he sang: "Time leaves behind beauty and chaos. Fortunately for us, we still have the luck to sing..." Those present who were not red-eyed were all tactical in running outside. Went to smoke.

Bian Lang also had a lot of feelings. He felt that after Ding Wu sang this line, he must have a lot of things to say to Zhang Ju.

At the same time, he thought again: "In another 10 years, will there be brothers on the original earth who will write me a song? To commemorate me..."

Lao Deng, who had been following here, watched these rockers cry and laugh through the camera screen, and began to look forward to the performance that everyone in the rock circle was looking forward to!
Faced with 5000 ocean tickets from scalpers who didn't know whether they were genuine or not, he decided to take a gamble!
