Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 488 "Spring Silkworm"

Although Bian Lang did not play PATICA on stage, everyone who is familiar with the current Chinese rock circle knows the song "Goodbye Jack".

When Zhang Ting's sad singing voice sounded, some sensitive and attentive music fans finally understood:

"Fuck! This song turns out to be about Xiu Jieke!"

"Oh, a song commemorates two people. Is Bian Lang really a genius or just trying to save trouble?"

Once this setting is accepted, it will be difficult for music fans to get the rhythmic joy that they felt when this song was played in the past on this specific occasion.

On the contrary, when Zhang Ting sang: "Goodbye, Jie Ke!" for the first time, many people had smiles and tears on their faces.

This creative story will naturally be told by Zhang Ting to more people in the future, so he got into the crowd from the backstage and became his lead singer.

As for the other two brothers in the band, although they had feelings during previous rehearsals, they didn’t have much.

But now that they are at the scene with their own die-hard fans, their feelings are completely different.

A certain light flashed by, and the drumstick raised high by the drummer showed a kind of strength and beauty under the embellishment of sweat. The stubble on his face accidentally appeared from the hair, and the liquid that could not be distinguished from sweat or tears. It rolled down his cheeks, making Lao Deng a little distracted.

As soon as he said this, Xiufu, who was sitting in the booth closest to the stage, couldn't restrain him no matter how hard he tried. It's just that compared to the nun's constant tears, his cries were silent.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiu Jieke's photo began to appear on the LED screen behind the stage.

As the photos scrolled, Pan Jianhu's voice began to sound on the stage: "Xiu Jieke, born in 70 in Hunan Province, China, was the guitarist of the Blooming Band. He died in a car accident in 95 at the age of 25!"

The live broadcast room of Xiaopo Station is filled with candles all over the screen. Whether it is a blooming hardcore or a fan who comes to watch other bands, they will reach out and click to post a barrage.

Many of them may not know who Xiu Jieke is at all, but they believe that the person who can make so many big guys come to commemorate him is definitely a ruthless person in the industry during his lifetime!
And those in the industry who were not able to be there felt that the significance of this performance would be far-reaching.

Although various airplanes and rockets are rewarded until they take off.

He even felt a sense of guilt in his heart now. The telephoto lens he had purchased in the past in order to be able to take a clear picture of the celebrity's face in private was a complete insult to these devices. Only now should be the use case for these devices.

Looking at Fanhua, Wu Junyi, who was the first to sing on stage, although he is a second-tier singer, seems to have a lot of fans. But when it was broadcast live on DY, which has a wider audience, the number of viewers barely exceeded 3.

After giving a thumbs up to Zhang Ting and others, he walked to the center of the stage and said: "Thank you to the Blooming Band, and thank you to the audience and the fans who are watching the performance online. Although I can't actually be there, it's very difficult for Jie Ke His life should be well known to everyone, but it has been more than 20 years. I would like to seriously introduce Jie Ke to everyone here, so that while everyone is recalling it, new friends can have a clearer understanding of this musician! "

After the outro ended with Ding Tong's last portamento, Pan Jianhu, whose eyes were a little red on the side stage, stepped forward again with a microphone.

Today's Jingwei Reclamation is also a rare occasion in many years, and the windows are still open for a performance in winter.

Before that, the old couple thought that their son's name would only exist in their hearts and in the fragments of memories that their former friends would check from time to time.

Lao Deng didn't really listen to rock music before. After getting in touch with Bianlang, he slowly started to get in touch with it, and he couldn't extricate himself from it. Therefore, he also knows the importance of musicians to a rock band, so under his lens, these musicians who are not valued in the eyes of ordinary people have become the protagonists.

The drummer finished the performance with his head down during the second half of the song because he really didn't want to be photographed crying during the first song. For the same reason, the bassist played with his back to the stage during the second half of the performance.

The purpose is not so that the singing can be carried far, but just so that die-hard music fans drinking cold beer outside can also raise their eyes and catch a glimpse of the stage.

But compared with the "Gift" rock scene where the screen is full of candles and the number of people online at the same time has exceeded 20, it is clear who is real and who is fake, and how popular it is.

When they pass away one day and these friends slowly grow old and are forgotten, the words "Xiu Jieke" should completely disappear from this world.

Everything from smoking in the rehearsal room, drinking at the bar, to radiating on stage!
Although it is a remake of a photo, the picture quality is a bit touching, but it truly reflects the true state of Xiu Jieke as a musician during his time in the band.

Zhang Ting and Ding Tong were slightly better, but Zhang Ting still broke his voice during the second chorus without any surprise. But no one cared at all, there were only laughter and tears singing along.

However, the true feelings between these two people did not escape the lens of various photographers at the scene.

But things are different now. As long as this song continues to be sung and people continue to tell the story of Xiu Jieke to future generations, these three words will not be forgotten.

In his opinion, although his son only lived a short 25 years, the performance he has today may have been much more exciting than the lives of many ordinary people.

All of Xiu Jieke's former friends who were accompanying him either bowed their heads and drank, or wiped away their tears as Pan Jianhu continued to introduce: "In 1988, Jieke and Zhang Ting jointly formed the band 'Blooming'. Although he was young, he had participated in He formed three bands and was one of the most popular among the young generation of rock musicians at that time..."

Bian Lang, who was in the crowd, listened to Pan Jianhu's narration of Xiu Jieke's life, and he inevitably thought of Zhang Ju.

This bassist who has left a profound mark in the history of Chinese rock music is also very popular in the circle like Xiu Jieke here. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for his old friends to write two albums for him after his death.

He passed away in 95, and an album called "Goodbye Zhang Ju" was released in 97.

This may be the most important publication in the mainland rock music scene in 97, because it is a gathering with a huge lineup, and almost all of BJ's first-generation rock singers except Cui Jian will appear.

They include: Luan Shu, Ding Wu, Zang Tianshuo, Mian Mian, Xiesi, Zhang Chu, Hua Zi, Dou Wei, Gao Qi, Chen Jin, Kaiser, etc... They have only one common purpose, which is to commemorate the Tang Dynasty band who died in a car accident. Bassist Zhang Ju. This album has attracted much attention from all walks of life from the recording to the publication, which took more than half a year from October 96 to May of the following year.

For this album, Scorpio, the company responsible for the production, almost went bankrupt.

The most awesome ones are Luan Shu and Dou Wei...

In 10, 2005 years after his death, the album "Gift", initiated by BJ Sound Studio and produced by the famous musician Luan Shu, was released.

Zhang Ju's former friends Tang Dynasty Band, Xu Wei, Zhou Xiaoou, Zhang Chu, Gao Qi, Wang Feng, Li Yanliang, Chen Jin, Ma Mayou, Jiang Xin, Bruce Lee and new music creators Buyi Band, Cha Kexin and Yazong participated in the creation and recording .

The compilation album "Gift", which was also a gift to Zhang Ju and his family, was completed in just one month.

When "The Gift" was released, Bian Lang was already involved in the industry, but whether it was technology or qualifications, he was not up to the task. But looking at Zhang Ju's life, he was thinking, if he goes there one day, if he can do this, then his life in the music industry will not be in vain.

Now that he thought about his thoughts at the time, Bian Lang couldn't help but shake his head: "There won't be an album to commemorate me, but my brothers will probably write a song for me!"

When Pan Jianhu finished speaking, applause and shouts of "Xiu Jieke, awesome!" began to erupt from the scene.

Those fans who watched the live broadcast online and did not know Xiu Jieke's past, after listening to Lao Pan's introduction, sent a barrage of hands-clasped expressions while feeling sorry in their hearts.

Some passers-by also have a new understanding of this group of sincere rockers. They feel that today, almost 30 years after a person's death, he still performs a performance purely for a belated farewell. This is worse than Those entertainment stars who only care about popularity and profit are more worthy of being pursued.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Xue were watching together in front of the computer. When they saw the tears in their eyes, Jiang Feng gave her an unceremonious blow: "Look, these are the idols worth pursuing. That one you used to... …”

Faced with her brother's boring behavior of exposing scars, Jiang Xue didn't make any explanation, because she thought so in her heart.

Many people in the circle who were not able to attend the scene expressed their longing for Xiu Jieke through barrages: "Jieke, did you hear that? No one has forgotten you!"

I originally thought about coming over to disrupt the audio-visual flourishing operations, but when I saw this was the case, I quickly asked the navy to withdraw temporarily. Even if he loses completely this time, it would still be better than having someone point his spine and scold him later.

After the mood of the audience calmed down a little, Pan Jianhu continued: "Then we will now return the stage to the Blooming Band..."

After Zhang Ting waited for Pan Jianhu to leave the stage, he was not in a hurry to start the performance. Instead, he used the microphone to start looking for people: "Bianlang, where are you guys? You can't play this song with just a guitar!"

Bian Lang in the crowd only now remembered that he was going to help during this second song!
"Here it is! Music fans let..."

Before he could say the next words, Bian Lang was "brought down" and lifted up by a group of enthusiastic fans around him, and then they took him to the stage in a relay.

After standing firm on the stage, Bian Lang thanked the enthusiastic fans, then trotted behind Ding Tong and carried Ovation on his back.

I don’t know where I went to train before, but I also came to the stage carrying an electric piano on my back.

At this time, Zhang Tingcai continued: "This time our Blooming Band would like to express special thanks to Bian Lang. If he hadn't written "Goodbye Jack", our band might never have the day to reunite, nor would we have this event today. Performance." After saying this, the four members of the band bowed to Bian Lang.

Then Zhang Tingcai continued: "The following song is called "Spring Silkworm", which was specially created by Bian Lang for our band for this performance. I hope everyone can try to control their emotions for a while, and try their best to maintain their integrity no matter what happens. Quiet……"

I heard that it was another work by Bian Lang, and in the presence of Ding Tong, the old monster, he even called Bian Lang and Li Li to come up. The key point is that Zhang Ting solemnly asked the audience to keep quiet, so this You can imagine the difficulty and musical level of the song!
In fact, this is also true. In the minds of some music fans, this song "Spring Silkworms" is the best guitar song in China, and it is the only one of its kind.

Amidst the applause of the music fans at the scene and the sighs of "holding the grass" from the netizens on the Xiaopo site, Bian Lang found a high stool and sat down. After taking a deep breath, he pressed a C chord with his left hand on the fretboard, and then with his right hand Started finger-picking.

When the sweet guitar tone came out with a hint of ancient Chinese charm, the live broadcast camera was naturally given to Bian Lang, a great piano player.

While music fans marveled at the fact that Bian Lang didn't use a pick and was playing pure fingerstyle, Ding Tong's distorted sound with delay was like a blinking star, highlighting Bian Lang's lead tone and creating a distant feeling. atmosphere.

Just from this start, the music fans at the scene knew that Zhang Ting's reminder just now was completely necessary. At this time, any discordant ambient sound interspersed in would be a kind of damage to the performance.

After listening to this opening chapter, many people began to consciously become cautious about their breathing.

The slightly distorted bass sound that follows up is like a heartbeat, stirring people's hearts. Many people may not realize that this is the sound of the bass that gradually merges with their heartbeats.

After the bass players heard this, they all wanted to give Bian Lang a try!

There was "Cold Rainy Night" before, "Flying Bird" later, "Train" for Hedgehog, and now "Spring Silkworm" for Bloom!
He felt that as a bass player, he had not had such luxury and happiness for a long time in the past!
After Bian Lang played for 23 seconds, the scene seemed to have entered a brief silence. If it weren't for the image of a silkworm squirming and eating mulberry leaves on the LED screen, many people at the scene would have had the illusion that time had stopped.

But in fact, the synthesizer next to Zhang Ting's keyboard was working, and the imitated sound of spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves was already regarded by the audience as the ambient sound in the silence at this time.

It couldn't last more than two seconds, couldn't stop for a beat, and the two electric pianos Bian Lang and Di Li began to play a mixed performance of the two main tones.

The reason why it is said to be dual vocals is because the two guitars do not sweep the rhythm, but develop towards different motives in the same song at different frequencies, but they also support each other.

If this paragraph were described graphically, it might be two silkworms spinning silk and cocoons for each other.

Although each has its own trajectory, the inextricable connections between them are inseparable!
