Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 528 You told me this is a joke?

After dawn, Bian Lang returned to the hotel with the fisherman's only trophy of the night, a red-faced black carp weighing more than 5 kilograms.

At this time, many family members got up and went to the lake to take pictures, and Bian Lang successfully drove Dayong back.

He took a shower and planned to finish writing "Fuxian Lake" and give it to Chen Shuting when he got up at noon.

But the fisherman was much quicker than him. After returning home, he posted the recorded video to the family group: "I took this video while fishing at night last night. I was amusing a guy who sang very well..."

Then it was seen by my nephew who was on vacation and was bored at home, just checking his phone every day.

Before clicking on it, the nephew, who is in his second year of high school, first "taunted" his uncle in his mind as usual: "I guess he is going to do something stupid again, so why not make a random video to tease us?"

After clicking on it, the lighting wasn't quite right at first, and coupled with the sound of the wind and waves, the guitar sound was a bit weak.

The nephew was even more confused: "Where did my uncle fall? Where are the others in the video?"

It wasn't until Bian Lang started singing that he, whose ears had been trained by the two guitar-playing guys in his dormitory, immediately recognized the familiarity of the song: "This voice sounds familiar. Is it the one that sang 'Goodbye Jack'?"

Continuing to listen with doubts, the nephew felt that his uncle might have shot a video that would become popular overseas overnight.

He knew that there was a commotion at the hotel for most of the night yesterday, so he immediately sent a message to his classmate's sister who worked at the hotel to find out more.

After getting the answer that it was indeed the Rolling Stones holding their annual meeting in the hotel, he felt more and more that the person in his uncle's video was Bian Lang.

In order to confirm whether it was Bian Lang, he first compared a large number of videos on the Internet. However, the picture quality of his uncle's mobile phone was indeed very touching, and he was not sure in the end.

Originally, he could have sent the video directly to his roommate who was a guitar player for appraisal, but he didn't want to be robbed of the opportunity to become popular online by someone else, so he recorded a clip and sent it to his roommate for appraisal.

Roommate A may not have gotten up yet, but roommate B called him 5 minutes later: "Where's Silly Dog? Where are you?"

"You don't need to care where I came from, just tell me it's Bian Lang who's singing."

Roommate B is a die-hard fan of Bian Lang. If it was someone else, he might not be too sure, after all, the sound quality of this video is also very touching. But for someone like Bian Lang who releases new songs at the slightest disagreement, he thinks it must be him!

The video of the Rolling Stones' annual meeting at Fuxian Lake yesterday has been uploaded to the Internet by hotel staff and the Rolling Stones' families. The time and place are right, and the new song has such a comfortable melody, it can only be Bian Lang!
"You don't like listening to rock music, and even if you do, it doesn't matter to you. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Roommate B had recommended the Rolling Stones to this roommate countless times, but he never responded. Today, he came over to ask about it, so there must be something going on, so he also started practicing Tai Chi.

"My uncle recorded it. He said he encountered it last night when he was night fishing."

"Where's the video?"

"No, there is only a recording!"

"You are kidding me, do you think your uncle knows how to use a cell phone to record? I will help you to chase the beauty in class when school starts! You are definitely a slippery loach that is ripping it!"

After being exposed, the fisherman's nephew did not feel embarrassed: "Of course I have to post such an awesome video myself."

Roommate B was so angry that he laughed: "Look at your Weibo account, it's full of shit. It's impossible for you to get popular if you post it. Hurry up and send me the original video. I'll help you repost it after you post it!"

After reaching a pleasant py transaction, the nephew of the fisherman posted the video online. After being forwarded to Bian Lang’s fan chat by roommate B, following the topic of the previous Rolling Stone Annual Meeting, this video unexpectedly became popular!
The reason is that when Guo Sichu reposted it, he commented: "Have you ever seen a musician writing songs at six or seven in the morning?"

Then this meme started to spread rapidly, and people inside and outside the circle began to imitate it.

Liu Xiaokui originally found a photo of him working overtime on a set at night, but when he posted it, he was criticized by fans:
"As an actor, this is your job. What's there to show off?"

"Hurry back and memorize your lines, and don't come here to embarrass your brother Lang!"

"Xiao Kui, your connections are not good enough. Why didn't you show up at the Rolling Stones' annual party?"

After adapting to this kind of idiot character and finding that it has built up a good reputation for himself, Liu Xiaokui has become accustomed to this kind of joke.

But he still acted very angry and interacted with fans on Weibo: "How can anyone compare to my Brother Lang? Everyone went to sleep at the Rolling Stones' annual meeting, but my Brother Lang still went to the lake to find inspiration to write songs. You all should learn from him!"

He felt that it was not enough after posting it, so he also @ed the other three of the four! After receiving it, Xie Minzhi forwarded and commented on a picture of studying hard.

The other two were so angry that their lungs exploded!
Liu Xingwu's fans had a fight with Bian Lang because of the brand's endorsement of the British store, and in the end he was hammered by the other party for lip-syncing at a concert.

Now, whenever he heard anything related to Bian Lang, he would stay away from him. But since Liu Xiaokui had provoked a fight, naturally some people with nothing to do would bring up old scores with him.

For a popular singer, lip-syncing at a concert can be a big deal or a small matter, because many fans feel that as long as the atmosphere is there, the meaning of the concert has been achieved.

Of course, there are also some fans who have high pursuit of music and therefore stop being fans.

But no matter how you put it, this reputation is always bad, and he is dragged out for a walk by that mad dog Liu Xiaokui whenever he has free time. As one of the top stars, doesn't he have any face to lose?

He became more and more angry. After discussing it with his team, he directly forwarded a reply using his big account: "What does it have to do with you?"

Then the two top streamers who knew the traffic secrets well started to curse each other online.

Just when things were getting more and more away from the song "Fuxian Lake" itself, Yuxi Culture and Tourism, which has a good sense of smell, jumped out.

Not only did the official media directly repost the message to express gratitude, it also mobilized local self-media people, bloggers and internet celebrities to repost it.

But in fact, there is no need for official intervention at all. How could the hometown treasures and Yunnan Province internet celebrities who only play in the peak competition miss such an opportunity?

Various imitation, secondary creation, cover and play-playing videos began to become popular on the Internet.

Moreover, the local people of Fuxian Lake followed the Internet to find the fisherman's nephew, and then the small lakeshore that originally had few people became inexplicably popular.

The traffic of those internet celebrities who came here to live broadcast and shoot videos soared after they happened to meet some musicians of the Rolling Stones.

According to Yong's wife who was catching small fish with Chen Wenju, there would definitely be a lot of people coming here tonight to shoot the same video as the one taken by Bian Lang.

As for the nephew of the fishing man, he never thought that he was the one who posted the popular content, but it seemed that he had nothing to do with it afterwards. It was not until Qiu Luo came with his team to find his uncle to shoot that he found a new hot spot.

When he heard his uncle's account of the whole story, especially when he mentioned his deceased aunt, he was so surprised that his eyes almost fell to the ground.

First of all, he was surprised at Bian Lang's easy-going nature. Although he didn't like listening to rock music, under the influence of his two roommates and the things Bian Lang did to promote his hometown, in his mind, the image of Bian Lang had become a character like an immortal in a novel.

He couldn't figure out why someone would write a song based on a story he heard about a completely unrelated person.

Secondly, there was the reaction of his uncle, a fisherman. After learning that the person singing to him was Bian Lang, his uncle said, "Oh, it's his fault. I was wondering why this song was so good!"

There are no other reactions!

In fact, it’s not that his uncle was not surprised, but that the extremely shocked emotion had already surged like a raging wave the moment he heard the song "Fuxian Lake".

In the past few hours, this emotion has been absorbed by the deep water of Fuxian Lake, an inland deep lake, leaving only ripples on the lake surface.

As for who is singing, it is not the most important thing to him. What is important is that in his heart this song is the best gift for his deceased wife.

Under the influence of these emotions, he felt that he could not just send out the content hastily like others did. He should think about it carefully and write a good essay to do justice to his late aunt and the songwriter, Mr. Bian.

But this time he did not keep it to himself and sent the video he "secretly filmed" to his roommate B.

Just when he was waiting for roommate B to call and praise him, WeChat rang first. He clicked on it and saw that it was roommate B who sent a message: "Why don't you go to your aunt's grave and burn some incense!"

……

At lunch time, Bian Lang was rubbing his dizzy head and was pulled out from under the protection of the God of Bed by Dong Youbian.

"Hurry up and get out! Someone is coming from Yuxi Cultural Tourism and Chengjiang Cultural Tourism!"

"Hmm? What are you doing here? If you want me to urge you to sing, then I'm already prepared!"

Seeing that Bian Lang was still a little confused, Dong Youbian suddenly remembered that he had no idea what happened to these kids.

After quickly telling Bian Lang what she knew, she continued, "I came here specifically to thank you!"

"Oh! Looks like I won't have a chance to eat that red-faced green today!"

"How did you..."

Dong Youbian was also a little speechless. Sometimes she still couldn't keep up with her boyfriend's thinking.

But it makes sense when you think about it. If ordinary people could keep up with the thinking of Bian Lang, who can write these songs and shows no signs of running out of inspiration so far, he would not be the leader of the rock scene today.

Bian Lang was very fast and in just 5 minutes he had dressed himself neatly and was ready to go out.

When they arrived at the restaurant lobby, Dayong gave Bian Lang a thumbs up and said, "Lang, you're awesome! You stayed up late at night to write a song that became a trending search, and you even caught a big fish!"

Looking at the red-faced green fish that had been cooked into a copper pot fish and served on the table, Bian said with a frivolous smile: "It's all because of you. If I hadn't given you the bed, I wouldn't have done that!"

"Then I'd rather take your room every time I go out, so you won't have a bottleneck when writing songs!"

"Dayong is right!"

"Bian Lang is so miserable. He is the leader, but he is as miserable as the donkey in the production team!"

"What are you talking about? The donkeys in the production team are having a good time now. They can rest whenever they want... Brother Lang is an old ox!"

Faced with these "vicious words", Bian Lang had no choice but to snort and go into the private room.

At this time, a discussion about Bian Lang’s new song started again on the Internet.

As for the protagonist this time, it is "Hometown"!
Compared with the simple video of "Fuxian Lake", the video circulating on the Internet in my hometown has dozens of versions with different perspectives, which can basically explain the various situations of this song clearly.

Ma Yuan read several versions over and over again but still felt unsatisfied, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Liu Ziyang to ask for the official version.

Who knew that Liu Ziyang not only gave him the source of the music, but also told him one thing: "This song is just a demo, just listen to it, the accompaniment was improvised on the spot."

When Ma Yuan heard this, he felt that the Rolling Stones were really Versailles!

No one would object to calling "Fuxian Lake" a demo, but as for "Hometown", he could tell from the videos on the Internet that although it had many loopholes, it was definitely not at the level of a demo.

After hearing this, he almost dropped his phone!

"You told me this is a sample? Why don't we have such a sample here?"

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with what Liu Ziyang said.

Whether it is the prelude, interlude or outing, there is a sense of casualness in the playing.

But the chord progression starting with 5 was not ordinary at first glance, so he felt even more depressed!
After listening to it a few more times with patience, he felt that this song was so damn well written, so well that he called a first-tier singer with whom he had a close relationship and said, "Old Qi, have you heard Bian Lang's new song "Hometown"? I don't think he will release it himself for a while, so why don't you go and negotiate the copyright for the cover, and then..."

When the male singer named Lao Qi heard about this, he yelled on the other end of the phone: "Lao Ma, did you get poisoned by eating mushrooms in Yunnan Province? How could you come up with such a magical thing? What is your relationship with Bian Lang? Don't you know it? Even if you guys give up in the end, the Rolling Stones and I will never have anything to do with each other again."

"Old Qi, listen to me, find a movie, and then..."

After being led around by Ma Yuan, Qi Dongqiang felt that there seemed to be room for maneuver in this matter.

He doesn't really care on what platform the song will be released on. The key is that if he can get a suitable movie to sing it, the chances of him being able to sing the song will greatly increase.

Of course he listened to "Hometown". As for the first two sentences, there were only two sentences in his mind: "Isn't this song written for me? Damn! Why can't I write it?"
