Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 620 Floruit Show
Halfway through the meal, the proprietress came up to him. After having a drink with He Lei, she took a photo with Bian Lang.

After the photo shoot, Ma Zha said with a smile: "I heard from He Lei that Xibiqi is also yours. From now on, I will only sell your beer. When you make a new sign for me, can you also include a photo of the two of us on it?"

As the former lead singer of the band endorsed by Xibiqi, using his own image is a basic operation, and the boss is also a friend of He Lei. Bian Lang took a look at the menu before. It is no exaggeration to say that just by keeping the table for tonight, the boss lady lost at least 10,000 or 20,000 in sales. For these reasons, he had no reason to refuse.

Besides, it’s just a barbecue restaurant…

However, the photo he had just taken with his cell phone was obviously not usable, so Bian Lang asked Guo Li to take another photo of the two of them. This time, Bian Lang also brought an opened bottle of Xibiqi, and Ma Zha held a plate of their signature mustard-salted shrimp.

After the two finished filming, the group of people who were fighting below came back. Looking at the excitement on the faces of the group of musicians who were soaked to the skin, Bian Lang felt that just based on this point, there would be no problem with the band lineup for the Xibiqi music festival label next year.

Since we had to attend a parade the next morning, the barbecue ended before 12:.

Before leaving, Bian Lang took all the guests to perform "Sudden Self", and then was sent into an inflatable swimming pool mixed with a lot of ice cubes with full of "blessings".

To be honest, when I watched the video in my previous life, I thought it was a bit perverted.

But in the weather in Banna, he felt it was just a word: cool. He said it many times while having fun.

……

On the second day of the parade, the floats of Xibiqi and the Rolling Stones were the last. Although the logos on them were second-hand ones picked from the music festival, they were definitely not the cheap versions of the flower-covered floats.

Although the entire parade lasted nearly two hours, the musicians were extremely excited.

Huang Kai felt that it was completely different from the time in the FA Cup. This time he walked more than ten kilometers and performed on the streets in front of hundreds of thousands of people. This experience was unique.

Liao Chunming, the director of Dianhai Group's Happy World, saw the Rolling Stones parade through the live broadcast and was already thinking, "MB, how come Banna got there first? We must organize this band's parade this summer!"

A band like the Rolling Stones, which has its own popularity, sang rock and roll all the way to a Water Festival parade and took tourists to dance, so it was not difficult for this to become a hot search.

The local officials were naturally happy to see this happen. They also adjusted some of their communication strategies, adding shots of the Rolling Stones twice during the very precious 10 seconds of CCTV's news broadcast. Although they were just two fleeting shots, they were praised by the practitioners and fans of the Rolling Stones!
As this is the first time in the Chinese rock circle of Blue Water Star, no matter who sees it, while thinking it is outrageous, all they can say is that the Rolling Stones are awesome!

As for the Blue Water Star, there seem to be only two people who have accomplished this achievement, one is Singenzile, and the other is Piku.

Tourism practitioners in Banna have even begun to enjoy the surge in visitors and doubling of housing prices during next year's Water Splashing Festival after this wave of publicity.

When some people are happy, naturally some people will be unlucky. Needless to say, the first to bear the brunt is naturally the event company.

Not to mention the loss of popularity on the resource side, it would be difficult for them to bear the anger of their big financial backers.

Although Xibiqi used the music festival and the Rolling Stones to spend little money to achieve a big event, and used one-tenth of the investment in exchange for several times the publicity effect of the big sponsor, this matter essentially has nothing to do with the event company.

However, the fact that they were secretly trying to make things difficult for the Rolling Stones was leaked by some star who attended the first day of the concert, and even their major financial sponsor was criticized.

Thinking about the final 30% of the payment, the person in charge didn’t know how to ask for it.

As for the big sponsors, seeing the Rolling Stones' strong popularity and ability to create topics, they naturally wanted to emulate Xibiqi.

But Bian Lang responded immediately with a reason so strong that the other party could not think of any excuse: "We who play and listen to rock music are forever young and full of tears. We are far from the age where we need to take your company's health products. The adaptability is too low, so don't waste your budget!"

When we were about to leave Banna, three girls from the Nuozhen band came to our door unexpectedly.

Although Zhou Ketong felt that the possibility of this happening was not high, she still brought the person to Bian Lang.

"Attending the Rolling Stone Music Festival? It's not impossible..." Bian Lang really likes these three girls, but some things are as excessive as too little. Now he is not as impatient as when he first came here.

Seeing that Bian Lang fell silent in the middle of his words, the eldest sister Xia Ruobing mustered up the courage to speak: "Teacher Bian, although we know that even if we are given a chance to compete with other bands it will be very rare, but we want to give it a try! We can do without performance fees and travel expenses..."

Before coming to find Bian Lang, the three sisters had been discussing and struggling at home for a whole day.

They knew how popular the Rolling Stones Festival was. They started selling tickets when half of the lineup was still unknown, which was absolutely unique in the industry. The most important thing was that within less than an hour of going online, all the tickets were snapped up.

If you go to the seafood market again, you will see that what is left are just single-day tickets, and they are sold at a premium of three or four times, and they are snatched away in the blink of an eye.

Before last year's Rolling Stone Music Festival, no other music festival in the country would have been so popular.

Although the scale has not been announced to the public, during their interactions with the Rolling Stones musicians over the past few days, they have roughly found out that the festival is designed to accommodate 5 fans per day.

That’s 3 people in 15 days…Although it’s not the largest scale in the history of Blue Water Planet, it’s definitely among the top ten in history and the largest in the past decade.

With such a hot market response, according to the nature of the Rolling Stones, choosing a band would definitely be the first priority.

And even so, they estimated that as long as the Rolling Stones extended the invitation, most bands would refuse to participate in the Rolling Stones Music Festival, and they would be the kind that would be difficult to poach even if money was spent.

As a little-known band, they may have a big gap in some aspects when competing with those famous bands in the circle, but since Bian Lang wants to sign them, it proves that their music is not much worse than others.

So the three sisters finally decided to try their luck. After all, they didn’t know if Bian Lang would still be interested in them if they came again in the future.

Hearing these somewhat tragic words, Bian Lang was not soft-hearted. He just thought of himself when he first formed a band on the original Earth, and those predecessors who had the same experience.

The idea of ​​singing for a night for 1 yuan is a bit exaggerated, but it was not uncommon to attend music festivals for free in the early s on Earth.

Bian Lang remembers that during the second Snow Mountain Music Festival, half of the bands did not ask for performance fees. Although the nature of the band is different from that of Nuozhen, the desire to attend the music festival is the same. At that time, Thirteenth Month, which had bands such as Wan Zong and Lao Xie and folk musicians, packed all the musicians of the entire company and charged less than 20 yuan for friendship.

If divided equally, each musician would receive less than 5 yuan.

But it was after this that the Snow Mountain Music Festival became famous and invited Avril Lavigne to its third edition...

"Pack your things and come with us to Chuncheng to show Brother Tiger your performance. One more thing, at least five songs. If your original works are not enough, you can consider whether you can make up for it in this short time. If not, then..."

As he spoke, Bian Lang took out his cell phone, pulled out a PDF file and handed it over.

"You can sing these two songs, and I won't force you to join the Rolling Stones, but the recording and distribution of the songs can only be done by the Rolling Stones, and the copyright also belongs to the Rolling Stones..."

Just as Bian Lang finished speaking, Xia Ruobing, who had seen the song title clearly, said, "Teacher Bian, do you really not mind that we rejected your invitation before?"

Seeing her big reaction, Bian Lang knew that he must have found the right person. This kind of music with extremely strong style polarization is hard to sing with the right flavor if it is not for the right person.

"Rolling Stone is a company that focuses on music. Even if you don't join us, as long as I think the song and the person are right, we can cooperate in other ways. This is my personal feeling that for you now, the environment of Rolling Stone is much better than running around singing covers while creating your own works..."

"Lamrutara", what does this mean to the three Monpa girls? Bian Lang will never be able to empathize with them to that depth.

But to make an inappropriate analogy, it’s like the Zerg on the original Earth wrote a song called “Laozi” and then gave it to a domestic band and asked you if you want to sing it.

The three sisters of Xia Ruo family are probably in the same mental state right now!

But as a former colleague of FloruitShow, Bian Lang knew clearly what the meaning of this song was on the original Earth.

Hermitage Tara, also known as the Epidemic-Removing Tara.

This song is a prayer song written by Doudou and his friends for those three years, so the lyrics are easier to understand.

There was a passage in the story of the Twenty-Tar Goddesses: It is said that there was an epidemic in a certain place, and the locals asked a monk for guidance. The monk said that the locals needed to hang Tara prayer flags everywhere and recite Tara's praise and Tara's Heart Sutra. The wind blew Tara's Heart Sutra and then blew over people's bodies, and everyone was healed in the wind.

This is probably where the main image in the lyrics comes from: a shepherd boy running with the wind.

The lyrics themselves are quite interesting, but the arrangement itself has many noteworthy aspects.

The opening sound effect is the sound of flying bird bells, followed by a chorus similar to that of monks, which highlights the solemnity of the Bodhisattva's Dharma and instantly makes the music religious enough. However, what follows is a faster-paced rap, and the bass part is no longer the ancient human voice, but the 808 bass with a certain dynamic feel.

In addition, there is also layered percussion music, with different timbres and rhythms laid out one after another.

In the Heart Sutra of Tara, FloruitShow used layers of sound effects to create a psychedelic sound. Tara is the most beautiful and compassionate bodhisattva in the secret world, and it is natural that people feel dazzled by the Buddha's light.

It is worth mentioning that the vocal part of the praise to Tara is not a single sacred and alienated voice, but a multiple harmony, which also confirms the above-mentioned Buddhist verse about the plague: under the light of Tara and in the strong wind of prayer flags, the local people recite the Tara Heart Sutra together.

In general, the "ZJ elements" of this song are integrated very naturally, with both solemnity and magnificence.

From a musical perspective, the combination of world music and electronic music has also broadened its musical expressiveness. It just depends on whether these three girls can handle it in a short period of time.

In fact, if they really made up their minds, Bian Lang would have a lot of work to do when he returned. After all, Cyberpunk was a work by the Fugitive Female Bodhisattva, and he still had to recall some of the arrangements before he could restore them, as well as the lyrics of the Heart Sutra that were replaced by ellipsis.

Bian Lang also needs to verify some things with these three Monba people before he can decide specifically how to fill it in!

Bian Lang and the three sisters of the Xia Ruo family were all thinking about something, and the room was quiet for about three or four minutes.

In the end, it was Xia Ruobing who spoke first: "Teacher Bian Lang, what about the arrangement?"

Bian Lang was also struggling with this issue. It was not certain whether he could produce the original arrangement as it was. It was also not certain whether the three sisters would add some better elements based on their national sentiments.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Bian Lang finally spoke: "I'll do the electronic part. You can also try adding some of your own ethnic instruments. We'll see the effect and make a decision later. But let me be frank. If this song doesn't meet my expectations, don't even think about performing on the stage of the Rolling Stone Music Festival!"

Hearing this, the three sisters answered in unison:

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

"when are we leaving?"

Zhou Ketong, who had been watching this scene, thought to herself, "It seems Sister Chen doesn't need to worry too much!"

Generally speaking, if Bian Lang releases all the songs, he will be a member of the Rolling Stones sooner or later. Even Guo Sichu is...

Thinking of this, Zhou Ketong felt that mustering up the courage to submit her resume to Rolling Stone was the best decision she had made after graduation.

When she went back home for the Chinese New Year this year, she brought a big red envelope to buy new appliances for her family. When her classmates and friends pestered her for an autograph, this ordinary girl, who was not very outstanding in the small county town, suddenly became the center of attention in her circle of friends.

As for the fellow schoolmate who replaced her during the internship, who would be interested in caring whether she became the director's assistant or the boss's secretary?

After returning to Spring City, Olaf watched the performance of the Nozhen band and said to Bian Lang very seriously: "Wave, I suggest you sign them immediately. Your world music really needs these three elf-like girls to perform!"
