Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 648 One dares to think, the other dares to promise!

After the three consecutive choruses ended, the fans shouted "Encore" as expected.

While Xie Xinyan, who was well prepared, was discussing with the band members, Qi Yue became the most nervous person in the audience.

After yesterday's "accident", she directly asked a staff member to guard the fireworks point today, striving to avoid any mistakes.

As for the boss of the fireworks company, he was also here. He had already fired the two employees who "acted on their own initiative" last night. He didn't have the energy to investigate the reasons. He was now personally responsible to ensure that there would be no problems with the fireworks display in the next two days.

This is the only way to ensure that the subsequent contract can continue to be fulfilled. Otherwise, judging from the look on the face of the person in charge of Dianhai Group who had contacted him this morning, he felt that the other party might have already been looking for other partners.

Without letting the fans wait any longer, Xie Xinyan discussed with the band for a few words and returned to the microphone stand. He cleared his throat and said, "Thank you all for your great support for my first music festival trip. For the encore song, I would like to invite the original author of this song to come on stage and sing with me!"

After he said this, the fans in the audience cooperated very well and shouted Bian Lang's name.

When Bian Lang heard what Xie Xinyan said, he probably guessed what Xie Xinyan wanted to sing in the encore. Sure enough, after he went on stage, he heard Xie Xinyan say, "Chinese People!"

After nodding, Lang said, "I'll start?"

"Yeah! I'll sing the first chorus!"

"OK, no problem……"

As for questions like how to perform without accompaniment instruments such as flutes, Bian Lang did not ask.

After all, since they had made this request, it meant that they had already considered all these things. According to Bian Lang's idea, they should have made some appropriate changes in the arrangement, and he was also looking forward to hearing what the new version would sound like.

When the prelude started, the familiar flute sound was replaced by keyboard simulation. After adding the electronic sound element, Bian Lang felt that it was still quite interesting, although a little rigid.

"Come from the waves that have traveled five thousand miles, or the city walls that need to be rebuilt..." This song was very popular in China at the time, combined with the foreign brand event. There was no fan present who had not heard it.

So as soon as Bian Lang opened his mouth, the whole audience immediately started singing in chorus.

Observing the situation below the stage, Bian Lang was wondering if he could learn from Brother Wu Bai and directly switch to becoming a conductor!

But in the end, Bian Lang didn't do that. He sang the song with Xie Xinyan according to the plan just now.

The fireworks also launched perfectly during the photo session after the end of the festival, bringing a perfect end to the second day of the festival.

In the next rehearsal according to the old tradition of the Rolling Stones, the Rolling Stones were the last band to be rehearsed. The performance of Liangzi and the others in the front was basically stable, so there was no need for Bian Lang to keep an eye on them anymore. He took Xie Xinyan and the others to the snack street to get some midnight snacks.

All other stalls are preparing to close, but Nan Feiyan's own store is still bustling with activity in order to meet the needs of musicians.

However, Bian Lang never expected that when he arrived at Nan Feiyan’s stall, he would actually see Xia Yuxi, and she was sitting at the same table with Ai Hao!

The other members of the Rolling Stones were not familiar with this person, but Huang Kai was very familiar with him. He immediately asked Bian Lang: "Why did that guy come? Does he want to record your album?" This was the only possibility he could think of!

Bian Lang didn’t know either. If he hadn’t stared at him for a while, he would have thought he was Ai Hao’s friend or something.

"Not really. It was like that at the time. He..."

As for why Ai Hao was accompanying him, Bian Lang probably thought it was because of the gambling contract. Although it didn't have any substantial effect except for bringing a wave of inexplicable traffic to Xibiqi at the time, he really didn't break his promise. Just for this manly thing, Bian Lang felt that he should go over and say hello.

After all, Xibiqi was his family's business, and he had long forgotten what happened between him and Xia Yuxi.

But at this time, Liang Kuan and Chu Xiwen also came over. Seeing Bian Lang and Xie Xinyan together, Liang Kuan walked up and said, "Do you want to join us? I'll treat Yu Xi to a midnight snack. He came here for the copyright of the new song sung by Shan Yang!"

Now, not to mention other people, even Bian Lang himself was confused!

Huang Kai: "His head was caught in the door?"

Dayong: "Is this... considered surrendering to the enemy?"

Di Li: "Huh? Does he not want his fans anymore?"

Hua Yan: "Are you kidding?"

Bian Lang: "This matter..."

Liang Kuan had expected this kind of reaction from these people, so he smiled and said, "It's okay. If you don't want to see him, we can talk directly when Shu Ting comes over!"

"It's okay, just chat! I'm also curious about what he wants to do! Brother Yong, you take the brothers under Lion Rock there first, I'll be there soon!" After saying that, Bian Lang and Liang Kuan walked towards the table where Ai Hao and the others were.

When Xia Yuxi was still more than ten meters apart from Bian Lang, he had already spotted Bian Lang. Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he became even more panicked.

According to his thinking, although Bian Lang was a person who hated evil, the two of them really didn't offend each other to death. Moreover, he thought about it carefully later, and the friction on the variety show was actually fueled by the production team for the sake of effect.

Moreover, Bian Lang's attitude towards music makes him believe that obtaining the copyright to cover a song should not be a difficult task.

But what he was going to propose now would have seemed like a fantasy to him a year ago, or even half a year ago. But he really couldn't calm down! Especially after reading the lyrics carefully, he realized that talent was the most mysterious thing in the world, and it couldn't be improved by any training! He really couldn't think of those lyrics no matter how hard he tried!
As Bian Lang got closer, his discomfort had reached the point where Ai Hao could see it just by looking up.

"Teacher Xia, let's go first..."

Xia Yuxi instinctively picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Ai Hao's, and then drank the wine in the glass, trying to suppress the nervousness in his heart.

But who would have known that after taking a sip of the wine, he could even hear the thumping sound of his own heartbeat.

How should I put it, it feels a bit like a student who has done something wrong and is waiting for the teacher to come and question him!

"Brother Lang's aura..." Looking at Xia Yuxi whose body was shaking a little, Ai Hao added silently in his heart.

Although Bian Lang felt that this matter was very sudden, it was not something that he could not accept. As long as it was not taken away to make eight changes to Xia Ji, he would have no objection.

And the fact that this guy came here in person instead of asking the company or the agent to talk is enough to show his sincerity!

When he got closer, Bian Lang didn't expect Xia Yuxi to be the same as when they met on the beach. He took the initiative to reach out his hand and said, "Hello, Teacher Bian!"

“Fuck, what’s going on…” If it were someone else, Bian Lang would probably politely reply, “Teacher Xia, you’re welcome!”

But thinking that the other party might be uncomfortable with that, Bian Lang simply skipped the politeness and the name and said directly: "Sit down, sit down, how does Xibiqi taste?"

Xia Yuxi was also stunned by the question, but he still smiled and said, "It's pretty good, not too bitter..."

Ai Hao almost laughed out loud when he saw the two people being awkward. His bad impression of Xia Yuxi was all because of Bian Lang. Today, we chatted for a while and listened to this guy, who, taking advantage of drinking and his status as someone who was not in the circle, talked about a lot of his recent thoughts and changes.

Ai Hao felt that this person was not bad, but he was praised too much in the past and was a little arrogant.

Moreover, he had heard Liu Ziyang occasionally mention it: "Xia Yuxi has good qualities, but I don't know why he was led astray to become what he is now."

"Mr. Xiao Ai, thank you for your help!" Liang Kuan's words just happened to help everyone out of the predicament.

"Well, what are you talking about, Sister Kuan? We also have cooperation with Teacher Xia..."

The four of them finally sat down, and Liang Kuan raised a glass first, then went straight to the point: "Yuxi, I heard that you came here this time to get the cover copyright of New Pants' new song. I want to hear your thoughts!"

After this question, Xia Yuxi suddenly felt relieved.

He slightly moved his chair towards Bian Lang and Liang Kuan, propped his elbows on his knees, and began to speak seriously: "In the past year, I have listened to a lot of music that I have never heard of before. I also looked back at the process of my journey and found that I have gone astray.

I wanted to be a singer before, but now I feel like I've become a star! Fans don't care whether your singing is beautiful or not, as long as I open my mouth... So I wanted to try again in a different direction, so I thought of rock, and I happened to hear that song!
In a sense, I think that song is not suitable for most people, but I like it very much! I think if I continue as before, life will really become a journey without any surprises like the lyrics! "

Bian Lang had never expected that this person could be so frank, and he could tell that Xia Yuxi still had his own pursuits for his music. Although it might not be very clear from what he said, trying to get out of some old frameworks might really help him come up with something more suitable for himself.

Since we are talking about this, Bian Lang asked: "I am curious, what do you think of rock music?"

Xia Yuxi seemed to know what Bian Lang would ask, and continued with what Bian Lang said: "I can't really describe it with some precise words, but the general feeling is like this...

I probably heard an amazing electric guitar solo performance on a radio station for the first time, and then I couldn't stop. I worked part-time to earn money to buy my first electric guitar and started practicing hard. Then I went to various music festivals to accumulate connections and fans. Finally, I became a hit on a TV show, and I went from being a little-known guitarist in a small band to a guitar hero that everyone pays attention to. "

When Bian Lang heard what he said, he felt his eyes light up instantly. Bian Lang could get the feeling described by this description, and he could even associate it with many things.

This should be the feeling that comes out after rock is embodied in the eyes of different people!
Whether it is the original Earth or the Blue Water Planet, there has always been a voice saying this about Chinese rock:

In the 1990s, a group of children from big courtyards came from BJ. They usually did nothing but carry bird cages every day. They found that the people they looked down on in the past had made a lot of money by taking advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up, while they had nothing but a self-righteous sense of superiority. So they anxiously wrote a bunch of lyrics that could be put under the idiom dictionary definition of the word "hypochondriasis", and composed a bunch of songs that only Ding Taisheng and his ilk would like, and flattered each other in their pitifully small circle.

If someone has a little musical skill and writes songs that are more popular in the market, you can make up a concept like "rock spirit" to attack him for not having rock spirit. You hold on to the shit you wrote and say that creation requires not music theory but core, not knowing that your core is nothing but imaginary bitterness and hatred in the eyes of outsiders!

That is actually correct, but it only explains the origin, but not the outcome.

After all, looking back, those so-called works full of bitterness and hatred were nothing more than boomerangs against later reality.

"Are you going to record the song and release it or just use it live? How do you plan to arrange the music?" Now that things have come to this, Bian Lang will get straight to the point.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuxi gave him a surprising reversal: "That was my thought before I came here. On my way here today, I saw Teacher Bian saying that Hedgehog is looking for a new lead singer, so my current thought is..."

"Wait a minute, Yuxi, do you know how much the penalty for breach of contract is in your contract?" Liang Kuan didn't know what Bian Lang was thinking, but she was reminding Xia Yuxi now, which in a sense was also a way to clear the way for possible future events.

"I know. If the interview is successful, I will handle these things myself!"

It was not until Xia Yuxi said this that Bian Lang came back to his senses. He then subconsciously asked, "How good are you at playing guitar? Do you want to be a lead singer with just your voice?"

Bian Lang's words confused others even more than Xia Yuxi's previous words!
It's really like the absurd feeling that one dares to think and the other dares to agree to, as joked about online.

But one of them is a first-line singer who is taking a break, and the other is the latest all-rounder in the rock industry! There is really no need for them to make fun of each other!
Liang Kuan felt that since Bian Lang asked this question, it basically meant that he recognized Xia Yuxi's professional ability.

In fact, it was true. What Bian Lang disliked was Xia Yuxi's singing style of always hitting high notes. He was quite impressed by his voice recognition. Especially his youthfulness, which was a good match for the hedgehog!
