Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 618 Sudden Self

When the fans heard this, some started to have conspiracy theories, thinking that it was the organizer's fault: "Did they not pay enough? Bian Lang won't come back for the show!"

But this argument was immediately rejected by music fans with some brains: "What are you thinking? You should look at the face of the Buddha instead of the monk. How could Xibi Qilang do such a thing in his own factory?"

"That's right, it would be nice if Hedgehog could come up and sing "Yearning for Life" for an encore!"

After confirming that there were no safety hazards, they simply closed the switch and the performance began, and the Rolling Stones band went on stage.

Looking at the chaotic audience, Bian Lang was about to find a loud speaker to say something when the lights in the venue suddenly came on. Blind by the bright light, he subconsciously raised his head to block it.

When the hands were lowered, the shouts from the audience began to multiply:

"Oh my god! The Rolling Stones! The ones coming back are actually the Rolling Stones!"

"Wait a minute, let me count... Bian Lang, Huang Kai, Dayong, Di Li, Teacher Shi, Hua Yan! The full lineup of the Rolling Stones!"

"Emmm, is this a music festival I can attend if I pay more than 200 yuan? There's the Rolling Stones!"

"Hahahaha, it was worth it! I ate, drank and had fun in Banna, and it was almost like I got to see the Rolling Stones live for free!"

As for those staying in the nearby upstairs hotels, they were really "freeloaders". Several small internet celebrities who were live-streaming were so excited that they screamed.

The users who followed the precise traffic push made their live broadcast rooms reach a climax!
Different from the excitement of the fans at the scene, netizens were not only excited but also envious and jealous!
Xiao Yin, who is studying at Yunnan University for Nationalities, watched the live broadcast on the website and started to mutter: "The Water Splashing Festival should also give us Dai students a holiday. At the very least, we can hold a small Water Splashing Festival at school so that other students can feel the festive atmosphere!"

Another girl next to her also said, "That's right, we should also have a holiday for the Torch Festival of the Yi ethnic group!!"

Another Bai girl also interrupted and said, "Then we should also celebrate the Bai people's March Festival!"

The Versailles of these three girls made the only Korean girl from the north in the dormitory feel the insurmountable gap between the north and the south.

As for more rock fans, they will probably report the Xibiqi Music Festival as a "scam" again!

After all, the Rolling Stones haven't performed live since their New Year's Eve concert, and Bian Lang and other musicians have started practicing the trumpet. Now he's playing the tuba without any warning, so how could netizens not have an opinion?

Although the tickets for the upcoming May Day Rolling Stones Music Festival have already been sold, and the Rolling Stones will perform on the last day, their unexpected performances are obviously more popular with some rock fans.

After all, the probability of releasing new songs at a music festival organized for one’s own brewery is almost 100%!
Just as the argument started online and there was a huge uproar at the scene, Bian Lang finally took action.

He picked up a bottle of Xibiqi from his feet and opened it, saying to the fans in the audience: "Come on, come on, finish this one and there's another one! Wait a minute, let's tune down."

Music fans don't mind this kind of behavior of mixing in personal opinions, but although beer is sold in cups at the Water-Splashing Festival, people are not going to drink diluted beer on site, let alone use diluted beer to splash water for blessings.

The booing and mocking sounds mixed together, making the atmosphere a little weird.

Afterwards, Bian Lang, who was "covering" the other musicians' tuning, released the last big trick of Xibiqi's event: "Everyone, don't rush to complain. After the music festival is over, you can use the ticket purchase voucher of this music festival to exchange for a dozen 500ml bottles of Xibiqi beer for free in any bar in Banna that sells Xibiqi! This activity is valid throughout the entire Water Splashing Festival..."

Upon hearing about this sudden benefit, music fans started to party!

At the scene or outside the fence, the staff from other beer brands who came to check out the place immediately started cursing!

"Fuck! They really made a lot of money from this wave of publicity! There were only about 10000 people at the scene, and the cost of one dozen per person was less than 30, but the publicity effect..."

"Xibiqi's market share in Banna was already high, and now with what's happening, it's even harder to shake it!"

As for netizens, they were even more envious. Not only did they get to see the Rolling Stones for over 200 yuan, but they also got a dozen bottles of wine for free. It was almost like getting it for free.

And those bar owners who sell rare beech are extremely happy right now.

As for those nightclubs with high entry barriers, they felt a little uncomfortable when they heard the news.

In the past, Xibiqi’s sales in Banna were indeed amazing, but those emerging nightclubs pursuing high profits would not give Xibiqi an entry ticket.

But after today, this situation may gradually ease.

After all, in a sense, Xibiqi and Rolling Stone are also considered a local name card of Yunnan Province. If you run a nightclub in the local area and don’t have the local signature beer on the menu, it is a bit out of place.

Of course, Xibiqi’s high-end series, Rolling Stone Craft Beer, is also in the works.

Seeing this scene, Ai Hao in the backstage couldn't help but raise his beer and toast to Bian Lang on the stage.

Almost a year ago, he would never have thought that Xibiqi's fate would be changed by this big brother with a different surname who never asked about the factory's affairs.

It didn't take long to tune up the band. Just as the fans' discussion had turned from the topic of "freeloading" to whether the Rolling Stones would sing new songs tonight, Bian Lang's voice was heard: "Are you ready for the final carnival?"

After the deafening response, Bian Lang continued, "The last song is "Sudden Self"!" Faced with this unfamiliar name, music fans both at the scene and on the Internet gave the most enthusiastic response!
"I told you, for the Rolling Stones to be doing this secretly, it has to be a new song!"

"Blind guess, hard rock!"

"Long live the Rolling Stones, long live the new songs!"

As the shouts grew louder, Di Li and Strauss, who were already standing in the front row of the stage, stepped on the foldback speakers, one on the left and one on the right.

Under the backlight, Strauss's golden hair flew in the wind. The moment she leaned forward, her already extraordinary curves were stretched even more exaggerated.

With a buzz cut and wearing sunglasses, Toli stood in the front row like a blade warrior.

At the moment when the two of them plucked the strings one after the other, the overloaded sound of the electric guitar was like an F1 car preparing to start on the racetrack, sending out the most overwhelming roar to the entire venue!
This didn't seem like a prelude, it immediately raised the adrenaline of the fans.

Some fans even blurted out: "Metal! The Rolling Stones turned it up!"

But as the noise of these two tracks gradually dissipated, Bianlang in the middle used a more popular melody to play the real prelude of the song.

The rhythm is not fast, but the unrestrained and unrestrained feeling in the melody is transmitted into the ears of all music fans through the notes.

If it were on the original Earth, as soon as this prelude was mentioned, the tone of the comments section would definitely start to become chaotic, with people either revealing their age or making fun of half of Wu Bai.

Of course, there are also some hurtful comments in Cloud Village:
"The strange thing is that you didn't understand or like the songs before, but after a certain time and a certain amount of life experience, you instantly understood the feelings expressed in these songs. Songs will never go out of style, but time cannot stay forever. I only believe that true feelings will stay forever after the passage of time."

The lyrics of this song were written by Xu Ke and Wu Bai, and it is the theme song for Xu Ke's movie "Sanda".

The original singer at that time was Huang Xiaohu, and the lyrics were actually written from a female perspective.

In the movie "Sanda", the hero resolutely chooses to fight boxing in order to prove that he is not afraid of losing. The heroine sang this song with a hint of sadness when bidding farewell to her lover.

The girl's lover wants to do something big. The girl is reluctant to leave her lover and does not want to face the sadness of parting, but separation has become inevitable. Instead of acting like a child, she might as well help her lover become a better him.

The heroine's inner thoughts can be summarized as: "Since you have your heart set on a broader sky, hurry up and do it. After all, time flies. You don't need to miss me while you are working hard. I will live my life well with your tenderness in my heart."

If you listen to this song in conjunction with the movie, you will find that it is a very good blend of a woman's tenderness and an open-minded attitude towards life. The more free and easy the lyrics are, the more sincere and lingering the hidden love seems.

But Huang Xiaohu's version didn't become popular in the end, and was picked up by Wu Bai, the golden song recycling station. In 2004, he sang the song again at the Life Heat Concert, and in the interaction with fans, he improvised the classic drinking lyrics that made the song popular!
After this song became popular through Wu Bai's live version, many people thought it was a song about men's emotions.

So, when Bian Lang sang this song with a smile on his face, his damn carefree spirit made the fans envious: "I heard you say that the sun rises and sets, it's unpredictable whether it will be sunny or rainy, and the road is full of footsteps. I have become accustomed to your sudden self, and I can see through nature..."

After this first-person perspective, Bian Lang gave a short interlude, and the next verse, which was in a persuasive tone, followed: "Then don't stay, time will pass and it will no longer be there. The sky you look out at is filled with more rainbows. I will hold you tightly in my heart. In the cold winter, I will recall your tenderness..."

When the lyrics reached this part, the three sisters of Nozhen, who were the only ones in the performance lineup who had never heard of this song, suddenly had a strong feeling: "This song might not be written for male singers!"

If it were the original Earth, Bian Lang could have been the accompaniment or conductor for the latter part of the song, but this was the Blue Water Planet, and he had to sing the song by himself: Fill my heart with joy, and sadness with tears of smile. Countless encounters, endless waiting, if this life is all I have, why should I wait to start over..."

During the interlude, Bian Lang, who was in a playful mood, stopped playing and picked up the hair dryer on the ground to perform performance art. He was also wondering in his heart how Wu Bai trained his fans, and how he could transform from a rock singer to an accompaniment player, and finally to a conductor. The key point is that in the end, even if he didn't speak, no one would criticize him.

Compared to those bands that have to work hard to prove they are not lip-syncing, Wu Bai is absolutely unique in the music industry, as he relies on his "strength" to make fans pay to come to his concerts to sing for him!

As his thoughts turned, Bian Lang found an opportunity to shout to the audience: "Come on, finish this cup, there's still one more..."

None of the music fans expected that the teasing sentence that Bian Lang said before he started singing was actually “lyrics”?
But no matter what, in Banna, where people don’t believe in drunkenness, it’s hard to say how popular this song will be. Bian Lang believes that even if he can’t finish the whole song, at least this sentence and the next one will become his catchphrase: “After I finish this one, there are still three more…”

As soon as these two sentences came out, all the locals present no longer doubted how well Bian Lang knew the people of Banna.

The three sisters of Nuozhen have the same feeling. From "Dai Di" to "Mangbala Naxi" and then to the current song, Bian Lang's understanding and love of this hot land have been shown through the melody and lyrics.

The three sisters were thinking, if they had a chance to invite Bian Lang to visit Motuo, then the emotions that flowed in their blood but could not be expressed due to their lack of ability, would they be able to get a perfect answer from this man who had already been deified in their hearts?

But they are just thinking about it. After all, Medog is not Yunnan Province, and what they believe in is far away from that of ordinary people!
While the three were thinking, Bian Lang's singing continued: "Then don't stay. Time will pass and it will be gone. The sky you look at will be filled with more rainbows. I will hold your passion tightly in my heart, and in the cold winter, I will recall your tenderness..."

The lyrics were repeated over and over again, and it was hard to tell whether they were about a woman's deep love and generosity or a man's self-carefreeness, which made the fans present feel a little bored.

As for those die-hard rock fans on the Internet, who were just heartbroken by the popular melody of this song, at this moment they were conquered by the lyrics.

Although many of them have vowed more than once in front of the posters of the founder of rock music, "If the Rolling Stones play pop rock again, I will quit!", but time and again, the fans are always the ones who get slapped in the face.

To put it in an exaggerated way, the posters of the rock ancestor on the walls of these music fans will sooner or later be replaced with those of Bian Lang! I wonder if they will still remember these "childish" actions at that time.

"Fill my heart with joy, and sadness with tears of smile...Countless encounters, endless waiting, if this life is all I have, why should I start over..."

The strumming sound of the acoustic guitar overwhelms the other instruments and plays the ending. This part is not difficult but the melody is nice enough. It is destined to become a must-have song for singers on the run!
