Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 515 Music Tailor and Song Washing

Tan Lian did not ask any further questions about Li Yiliang's words. She herself was very clear about one thing, that is, their friendship was based on mutual benefit.

She is attracted by Li Yiliang's talent, and Li Yiliang is attracted by the resources behind her.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Instead, she felt that this was the most stable relationship between adults.

Just like her and Ou Lu.

She was not unaware of Wu Junyi's little tricks, but in addition to her age and appearance, she also knew many unspeakable secrets of the European continent.

This is also the reason why she has been able to work so hard in recent years and still be by Ou Lu's side.

Of course, she also knows where Europe's bottom line is.

If this entertainment company was losing money, she would have stopped trying. And this time, it was not only Ou Lu's last chance for her, but also her last chance for herself.

So, she wanted to have a good time.

If you are not good at singing, ask a vocal teacher to give you lessons.

Make up for the problem of hoarse voice with songs!

In a sense, the band format requires relatively low singing skills.

For example, in the current Mayuan, according to the aesthetic standards of the traditional entertainment industry, if Bian Lang is a diamond, then the Golden Horse Award is a bronze.

But with a series of songs like "Lugu Lake" and "Spring City", after exhausting all his passionate emotions, he is undoubtedly the king.

Even Liangzi, his singing skills are actually very average, but it is the form of Errenzhuan rock that thoroughly stimulated a certain gene hidden deep in his heart, and then he suddenly went from being an unknown person to becoming a pioneer-level existence.

That's why after she knew Xiang Kun's true intention, she happily accepted the band format.

And even if she were to team up with someone like Li Yiliang, who had been completely "banned" by the rock circle, she felt she could accept it.

After all, Li Yiliang's skills are sufficient. As for character, in the entertainment industry it is just a persona in front of the public.

Once a person becomes famous, he can basically be changed back as long as he does not change his ways.

Thinking about this, she asked directly: "When will there be results?"

"Just these two days, I'll think about it carefully."

……

As for the other traffic stars who thought of stepping aside when they heard the name of the Rolling Stones, they are now actively using their connections to see if they can find out the Rolling Stones' real plans for this month.

Ever since the KTV chart-topping incident, Xie Minzhi has basically been staying away from Bian Lang.

She had originally planned to release a new single in January, but when she learned that the Rolling Stones would have a new song and album in January, she gave up on it without even thinking about it.

Now that No.1 has seen that the Rolling Stones have not made any move, her team has begun to get restless, but she still calmly thinks it is not possible: "I am different from the talented people like Bian Lang. If my fans see that I can't get first place, then..."

"We have studied the rules of the Rolling Stones. There are no important time nodes recently. The songs for the Spring Festival galas have been decided, and the songs for the variety shows have also been released.

A new song video has just been released. According to their nature, they will only release videos if they have no plans to release them in the near future. So I think there is no need for us to wait any longer. If we wait another month, we will lose another month, and we will have one less month to compete for the annual award..."

Hearing this, Xie Minzhi said in a helpless and self-deprecating tone: "Top of the annual list? Haha, don't even think about it! Halfway through last year, "Shame" was able to top the list, and that was when Goose Egg Music banned it completely! They only released an album and so many new songs in January this year. Let alone topping the list, I think it's hard for us to even make it into the top 10.

So we have to be absolutely sure to win the first place in the monthly chart. For a band like the Rolling Stones, which is now a phenomenal band, we are not guaranteed to release a song even if it is released in the second half of the month. "

After saying this, Xie Minzhi called Liu Xiaokui directly, hoping to get some accurate information from this Bian Lang's pendant.

Liu Xiaokui was taking a break on the set at the moment. He answered the phone in seconds and after listening to the request clearly, he smiled: "It's really uncertain. Who can know what my brother Lang thinks? But I can tell you one thing for sure. The compilation album they recorded last month will definitely not be released this month."

Hearing that the compilation album "Gift" would not be released this month, Xie Minzhi had a clear idea in her mind.

She also watched the live performance of "The Gift" carefully and had a very good feeling about the song.

The kind of high-level tear-jerking lyrics are what she has always wanted, but it’s a pity that Bian Lang’s songs are priceless.

Thinking of this, he thought of the song "Five Rings Song" that Liu Xiaokui and Wang Yun collaborated on: "Brother Kui, how did you ask Teacher Bian to sing the song?"

At this point, Liu Xiaokui knew what she wanted to ask, so he immediately advised: "Don't worry about it. My brother Lang took pity on me and Yunfei. If you want a song, you must get familiar with him first, and don't take the initiative to ask. When he thinks there is a suitable song, he will naturally think of you.

But you are much busier than me who only shoots dramas and records variety shows. How can you have time to hang out with me, Brother Lang? Besides, if you are a popular singer, you will not be accepted by anyone if you hang out with rock singers!"

Although Liu Xiaokui had said so much, who knew Xie Minzhi would find a way out of it: "Speaking of variety shows, are you going to the Peach Blossom Spring you're recording this year? If you go, can you take me with you?"

"Ah? What did you say? Did I hear you correctly? And the variety show that you, Xie Minzhi, took the initiative to ask to be on?"

It’s no wonder that Liu Xiaokui was so surprised. With the popularity and traffic of these four top stars, they were basically waiting in line for the program crew to invite them.

Don’t take the initiative to go on any show, unless it is related to publicity and promotion.

When Liu Xiaokui was on "Taohuayuan", although he had a strong subjective desire, the team still persuaded him for a long time. The main reason was that there was nothing to learn from this new program, and they were all worried that something might go wrong.

But looking at the results now, it should be Liu Xiaokui, one of the four top stars, who made a profit.

Needless to say, the increased exposure has greatly expanded Liu Xiaokui's fan base.

In the past, when he debuted as a young idol, a large proportion of his female fans were obsessed with his looks, but this time he showed his true self to the audience on the show.

Many older fans of the show and some music fans have a new and pretty good sense of him.

So much so that he has already asked the studio and the program team to discuss funding.

"What's wrong? You're the only one who can do it, but I can't, right? Didn't you get to know Teacher Bian on this variety show?"

Among the four top singers, Liu Xiaokui and Xie Minzhi are the two with the deepest personal relationship, so sometimes they talk casually. "You have to leave enough time for this. I'll tell you when the plan for this year comes out. But there is an opportunity right now. If you are willing to sing with you, let your agent contact you. Although it may not necessarily make friends with Brother Lang, it is a variety show he participated in after all, so it will leave a good impression on people.

Didn’t you have some unpleasantness with Brother Lang about the KTV incident before? Take this opportunity to…”

After hanging up the phone with Liu Xiaokuikui, Xie Minzhi immediately found her agent and asked him to call and ask.

But the agent replied reluctantly: "I don't think this show fits your current position. Although Xie Xinyan is also a superstar, he is not very popular now. It's just a rehash of sentimentality. There's no need for us to join in, right?"

Xie Minzhi didn't want to explain any more, so she changed her tone and said, "No one was optimistic about Taohuayuan at that time, but look at how popular it is now? I think anything that has to do with Bian Lang should not be easily missed!"

After such a question, the agent was speechless.

I asked around in the circle, found the phone number of the program crew and called them.

After 10 minutes, she said with a cold face: "This is really weird. They said that all the guests for the 12 episodes of this season have been recruited. If we are willing, we can be substitutes, but the effect of the on-site fan recruitment may not be that good!"

"What?" Xie Minzhi couldn't believe her ears!

"If we want to go on this season, we can only be substitutes. If someone encounters something and can't go... No, I don't believe this. Lanmei TV... Is that the name? Such a small TV station actually... Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to let you go!"

Now Xie Minzhi's agent no longer had the contemptuous attitude from before, and looked as if he would not give up until he got the spot.

As for Chen Shuting, she has temporarily given up using her work phone and WeChat, because all the people who contacted her today were people who were trying to find out about the Rolling Stones' song releases this month in a roundabout way.

But even those who had always had a good relationship with her were unable to get any accurate information from her.

Because even she, the housekeeper, is not sure!
She only knew that "Nothing" would be the first song recorded after the recording studio was completed, but she had no idea whether it could be completed on schedule, and how long it would take Olaf to complete post-production.

What's more, she herself hasn't even heard this song!

When it was almost time for dinner, she sneaked into the Rolling Stones' rehearsal room to take a look, and then sent a message to her closest friends: "If you can wait, wait a little longer. It will be either the middle of this month or the beginning of next month."

……

Now let's turn our attention back to Li Yiliang. Ever since he came up with that idea, he wasn't in good shape in tonight's performance. He made obvious mistakes several times because his mind was full of the broken chords and motives of "Boys Don't Cry".

Fortunately, almost no one who were drinking at the scene could hear it, so apart from looking at him a little dazed tonight, there were no other problems.

When he got back to his apartment after work, he immediately turned on his computer and mobile phone, and began to transcribe the music while listening: "⑥m7, ②m7, ⑤..."

After he finished plucking, he discovered that the chord pattern used in Bian Lang's song was also the conventional 4635251, which was really not something new and original.

Thinking of this, he became more certain of his plan!
Then, he found some lyrics that others had written down on the Internet and began to extract key words from them: "Night, orphans, where is my home, loneliness, lonely people, take you away..."

After listening to it almost 20 times, he finally took off his headphones and his face began to flush with excitement as if he had discovered a treasure.

In the past, he was very disdainful of things like sewing music and washing lyrics.

Not to mention that he did it himself, as long as he has identified someone as the music tailor, there will definitely be no good word from him.

But now that he discovered the convenience of this behavior, he began to laugh at his former self who had a serious obsession with mysophobia.

After despising his former self, he picked up the guitar and began to write the melody of the main song.

His plan was to completely "borrow" the chorus from "Boys Don't Cry", and then use the motive of the chorus to infer a not-so-similar routine.

This lasted the entire night, but he did not feel much tired from staying up late.

For the next four days, he remained in this state of excitement.

It felt like an old failed writer at Qidian.com who saw a new Wanding book, tore apart the outline, redid the details, and wrote a 20,000-word introduction in one breath for internal submission.

And I’m already fantasizing about getting a high rating of “definitely a talent” from the editor!

On the fifth day of rehearsal, he handed this "new song" to the other musicians and Tan Lian. The bassist and drummer looked at the broken chords and began to mutter in their hearts: "This song sounds a little familiar?"

The drummer tried it a little and felt something was a little awkward, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was.

Tan Lian didn't notice anything, but she felt that the lyrics were really too popular, and it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that it was a catchy song.

But after singing a little bit in his mind following the score, he felt that the song was quite catchy, especially the chorus which was really nice!

And she had a vague feeling that this song was particularly suitable for her to sing.

“Is this song written specifically for me?”

Facing Tan Lian's question, Li Yiliang answered directly: "Yes, those songs from my previous band, I think they are not suitable for you, so..."

When the other two buddies heard this, they were really impressed by Li Yiliang.

They admitted that there was nothing wrong with the first half of Li Yiliang's sentence. It turned out that none of the songs by the Mask Band were suitable for Tan Lian. To be more precise, none of them were suitable for a female singer.

But if you say it was specially made for Tan Lian, they would never believe it even if you beat them to death!

After all, they knew exactly what Li Yiliang was thinking.

If people didn't know what Li Yiliang was thinking, they would probably think that Li Yiliang was starting to have some kind of interest in Tan Lian.

"Well, sing it for me first..."

Li Yiliang didn't waste time. He talked to the drummer and started to sing: "Big Ben has already rung, the news of midnight..."

The two who had not paid any attention to the lyrics before, when they heard this, they both thought: "Li Yiliang has absolutely nothing to do with rock 'n' roll..."

When the chorus came out, they were stunned: "Aren't these chords and motives the chorus of "Boys Don't Cry"? "
