Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 630 Katrina Skeleton
Bian Lang, who was standing in the backstage, looked at this scene and all he could think was “Awesome!” Isn’t this much more awesome than those directors who play cosplay?
The most important thing is that this is to promote my own music festival!

And judging from this, this gentle man probably has a hot heart hidden under his gentle appearance. Although his behavior today is far from his image, Bian Lang has to say: "This is too cool!"

The fans in the audience had already said this for him, and after a brief moment of confusion, they all cheered.

"This is so cool! This leader is so rock and roll!"

"There's no rule that leaders can't listen to rock music! I've never seen it before, maybe they're hiding it a little too well..."

"Yes! It should be Bian Lang who aroused his inner ambitions! That's how it should be..."

"This is probably the most awesome opening speech I've ever heard!"

Under the influence of this emotion, I don't know who started it, but everyone followed suit and shouted: "Let's sing a song!"

Even Jin Ma, who was about to go on stage, started to cheer, "Director, please sing a song!"

It was unknown whether the director had come prepared or was just naturally very talented. Amid the noise of the crowd, he turned around and looked at Bian Lang in the backstage and asked, "Bian Lang, I'm going to sing a song of 'Rock and Roll on the New Long March Road' now. Does that conflict with your rules?"

Bian Lang, who was even more confused, came to his senses instantly, made an OK gesture, and waved to let Ma Yuan and others go up and accompany him.

Are you kidding? Bian Lang has never heard of such a thing in his entire life. If you miss it, you will definitely lose a lot!

In my previous life, I only heard that Sicong's father and Ma's father would rock at the annual meeting. The more formal one was the professor who sang "Song of the Wine". This seems to be the first time that someone in the system has sung rock in public!
It wasn't just Bian Langlai who was confused, the fans in the audience were even more confused. Although they shouted out their demands, they were just talking nonsense and didn't expect the person above to agree to it! This is really the real-life version of "one dares to ask, the other dares to agree"!
As for the most confused person, Wu Hao was the one who had never met this gilded leader from BJ in private. He just said modestly that he would not cause trouble, but now he was actually acting like that?
Wu Hao didn't know what to say in the song with clear and well-tuned pronunciation: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it. It's 25,000 miles away... I can only say it, but I can't do it. How can I know it's not easy..." If this wasn't said to be well prepared, he would be the first one to not believe it!

Bian Lang was not confused, but he thought this was really funny. If he hadn't been watching the scene, and if he hadn't been joking about this kind of thing, he would have thought this guy was just a Rolling Stones agent!
Many people thought the same as him, especially those musicians who were not members of the Rolling Stones. They all asked themselves in their hearts, "Is this fake? I didn't see this person during the rehearsal. Did the Rolling Stones secretly arrange the rehearsal?"

Faced with this somewhat unreal scene, the fans were happy to join in the chant: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!"

Those short video bloggers stabilized the gimbals in their hands, excitedly thinking about the title of today's hit video.

An Feng, who was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, clapped his hands and followed the beat, and asked Guo Sichu: "Sister Chuchu, your arrangement is too professional!"

Guo Sichu shook his head and said with a smile: "It must not be arranged. From the Beijing dialect, it is probably..."

Among all the people in the audience, only Ding Tong frowned and recalled: "Why does this person look so familiar? Where did he come from? Could he be the BJ veteran arranged by Bian Lang?"

But looking at the confused expressions of Zhang Ting and Yuanzi beside him, he shook his head and rejected his idea.

If it was really BJ's old gun, even if he didn't know him, then the people around him couldn't have not known him. If it was true, they would have started to make a fuss a long time ago. Ding Tong even thought about what they would say for them: "Oh my god! How did this guy get up there? This guy is not an ordinary person..."

The key point is that he knows better that no one dares to joke about such things.

The mystery was finally solved by Bian Lang. After the leader stepped down, Bian Lang naturally went up to him to express his gratitude.

He was not good at dealing with these people, but this time he wanted to express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

But who would have thought that right after they shook hands, the leader would speak first: "Hello, Bian Lang. I've heard my father and my son talk about you a lot in the past year. This time, I finally get to meet you in person."

Bian Lang was even more confused now. This person seemed to be someone he knew in a roundabout way, but he had never heard the leader's name. He couldn't even think of searching for any clues...

Just when he was about to dig out a villa with his toes, the man opposite him came to his rescue and said, "My name is Hao Yun, and my father is Hao Jianguo from the General Political Department's Art Troupe."

Bian Lang had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and at this moment he was thinking in his heart: "Hao Yun? This name is okay. If you are not this person, I will give you a song "To Live"!"

But what he said was: "No wonder you had such good pitch and breath just now, it turns out it's a family tradition! You've done an amazing job in organizing our music festival!" After saying this, Bian Lang began to think about it in his mind. He would ask Ding Tong about it after the event was over. No matter whether this was a public or private favor, he had to do it.

"The Rolling Stones Music Festival and the Rolling Stones music are now a new cultural name card for Yunnan Province. As someone from the Cultural and Tourism Bureau, I would like to thank you for your support! If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me first..."

Bian Lang understood the latter part of the sentence, which was a reference to his previous marathon incident. However, Bian Lang didn't pay much attention to it. Even if it happened again, he would still do the same thing.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Wu Hao came over and asked Leader Hao to leave. Bian Lang watched the back of the departing figure, and suddenly felt enlightened. The recognition of the fans was different from the recognition from the higher-ups. Bian Lang believed that after this, the marathon would most likely not happen again.

The song coming from the scene at this time is: "Because the wind blows across the rainbow... The night sky of the Spring City makes everyone become gentle..."

If there is anyone who is more suitable for the opening of the Rolling Stone Music Festival in Spring City than the scene just now, it is probably this song. He was originally planning to go to the main control desk to check the situation, but suddenly he became playful.

He rushed to the front of the stage along the isolation tape. Before the chorus, he explained his identity to the security personnel. Then he walked along the isolation tape in the middle, opened his arms and clapped his hands all the way, and sang with the fans: "Because we have gone from youth to winter, because the city is in despair, it's all painted in your eyes, some come here out of admiration, some leave sadly..."

The cameraman in the middle quickly adjusted the lens to focus on Bian Lang who was rushing towards him. The center was also filled with emotion: "This is just like the festival that the Rolling Stones organized for themselves. Who wouldn't say it's awesome!"

The last set of images captured by the camera for this song was from Jin Ma on the stage to Bian Lang sitting on the fence. Like Jin Ma, he was facing the audience, hammering his chest with one hand and tearing his voice: "For whom am I trying to keep her... Woohoo... Ma Yuanshang on the fourth floor... Woohoo... Cut off the one behind me..."

Then he turned around and leaned back, jumping directly into the waves formed by the hands of music fans!
Feeling the joy, An Feng, who was standing on the roof, made a trumpet shape with his hands and shouted "Oh, Oh!" twice, then said with a clear mind: "Bian Lang doesn't even need to move himself to do the backstroke, it's so cool!" Guo Sichu felt the joy from the bottom of his heart and couldn't help laughing: "You can also try it, if you are in his position, you should be able to swim faster than him!"

"Hey, Sister Chuchu, please stop teasing me. Even if the two of us want to sneak in and play with the fans, if we are recognized, the scene will definitely be..."

An Feng didn't know what words to use to describe the following words, but Guo Sichu could hear the loss in his heart.

This was just heard by Old E who came up to serve coffee. She put down the coffee, thought for a moment and said seriously: "Why don't you just wear a mask?"

"But wouldn't that be weird? If someone were to walk around in broad daylight wearing a mask, wouldn't it be obvious to others that there's something wrong with this guy?"

An Feng said this instinctively, but Guo Sichu heard something else: "You think I'm asking you to play the Monkey King? Do you want me to find you another stick? I'm telling you, if you really dare to play this cosplay, no one will be able to recognize you after taking a photo with you."

After saying this, Guo Sichu just burst into laughter!

Old E didn't laugh, but looked at the skull model in the tent mysteriously, and then said to Ma Rui: "Little Mazi, why don't you give An Feng a skull makeup like the one they use during the Day of the Dead in their hometown of Dela. In this crowd, everyone will just think she's a black metal fanatic..."

Before, Mari didn't know what black metal was, nor did she know what the skull makeup had to do with black metal.

But because she is currently working on a series of rock-themed works, she may not be able to figure out the differences between these genres, but the iconic visual expressions of these genres are easy for her to come by.

As for what the skull makeup is, we can understand it from the look in Old E's eyes just now. Anyway, it is related to death, so it is the standard of black metal.

"Yeah, I can give it a try!"

The people on the roof of the car would not doubt Ma Rui's painting skills. After all, she is an artist who has held solo exhibitions abroad.

Then Old E called her husband up and explained to them what the skull makeup was. She also found some pictures on the Internet for them to refer to.

Although they did not feel particularly excited after seeing it, they felt that it was not bad. Especially after nightfall, this makeup might create a skin effect that would keep strangers away.

After lunch, Ma Rui and Lao E went to the music festival market to find those who did painted tattoos to get materials for their creations.

Three hours later, when Bian Lang came over to have a cup of coffee, An Feng's makeup was basically completed. He was sitting in the tent with a guitar and taking cosplay photos with the skeleton model.

When he looked up, he saw a female skeleton inside. Bian Lang wanted to make a joke, but after recognizing that it was An Feng, he basically understood what this person was trying to do.

"An Feng, is your makeup interesting?"

An Feng actually saw Bian Lang coming, but she didn't say hello because she wanted to see if her skin disguise was successful. After being seen through at a glance, her originally somewhat excited mood suddenly became less beautiful.

"Bian Lang, you saw it right away?"

Bian Lang said jokingly, "Your question is so fresh. It's like peeling off your skin according to the bones of your face, but the facial features have not changed. I'm not blind! But this job is really good. Are all the painters so curly now?"

Hearing this, Ma Rui was stunned for a moment, then stuck her head out from the roof of the car and said, "Thank you for the compliment, great artist Bian! But don't just talk and don't practice. You have also drawn original paintings for comics that sold well abroad. Why don't you give it a try?"

Bian Lang originally wanted to refuse outright. Even if he had nothing to do, he would not do this kind of work. But at this moment, the image of the Katrina skull in "Coco" began to emerge in his mind. Compared with Ma Rui's professional skills in skinning and bone painting, Bian Lang felt that Katrina skull might be more suitable for this person.

The reason why Bian Lang has such a deep memory of the Katrina skull is because he feels that it is one of the few artistic creations on the original Earth that has separated the skull from horror and still has artistic value in Yao Hong's creative style.

In the original Earth, Catrina's skull is based on a skull, painted with colorful colors and flowers, and is a typical representative of Catrina. Catrina's skull is a skull image wearing a feather hat, and is a character created by Mexican painter José Guadalupe Posada.

The painting first appeared in Mexican newspapers in the 1980s. The purpose of the painting was to satirize the young Mexican women who worshipped foreign things and blindly followed European trends, thus losing their own national characteristics. The skull in the painting was dressed in European court clothes and an exaggerated French hat, expressing the author's criticism of the vain and exaggerated social atmosphere.

The annotation in José's illustration is: "Death is democratic, because in the end, blond, dark-haired, rich or poor, everyone will eventually become a skeleton..."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get some green algae and some more ingredients and come back..."

After hearing what Bian Lang said, Lu Zao, who was still setting up a nail art stall, stuffed her small box of rhinestones to Bian Lang without hesitation and said, "You go first. I'll come over as soon as I finish this. Wait for me... Let me learn too."

Seeing Bian Lang bringing back a box of rhinestones, Guo Sichu and An Feng probably understood what he was going to do, but out of concern for her own skin, Guo Sichu still called her makeup artist to come over. They believed that Bian Lang's painting skills were fine, but they were still not very confident about a rough man who had never used cosmetics.

Finally, Bian Lang came up with a manuscript, and then Guo Sichu's makeup artist and Ma Rui jointly completed An Feng's makeup.

Facing the half-finished product that was painted with a mixture of black and purple eyeshadows, with oversized eye sockets and nostrils, and then decorated with rhinestones to highlight the gorgeous and deadly beauty, Guo Sichu pulled Bian Lang and said, "Design one for me too, quickly, so that we can go out and have fun together tonight!"

Looking at the half-finished makeup in the mirror, An Feng uttered in a joyful voice: "I wonder if anyone can recognize my beautiful skull this time!"
