Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 241 Don’t pester me (please subscribe, please vote)

Before nine o'clock in the evening, the golden horse came back with Olaf.

Judging from the familiarity between the two, Bian Lang estimated that these two Mandarin-speaking people should be able to communicate quite smoothly.

Jin Ma knew that Bian Lang and Olaf had something serious to discuss, so he said hello and went to the record store downstairs to help.

"Oh! Wave, Dian Province is such a magical place. I didn't expect you to actually eat bees and bugs. And that surprise is really..."

Bianlang can understand the bamboo insects and bee pupae, but what is this surprise?Is there any Yunnan dish whose name is related to "surprise"?

Under Olaf's explanation of referring to each other, Bian Lang finally figured it out. What Olaf just said was not the English word surprise, but the non-standard pronunciation of "Sapi".

Since there was something to talk about next, Bian Lang didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, so he was kind enough not to tell Olaf the ingredients of this dark dish. He was afraid that Olaf would run to the toilet after hearing this and never come out.

After chatting, the two got down to business. Although they had mentioned it before, now that Bian Lang has officially sent an invitation to Olaf, the meaning is different. It is not something Olaf can say that I will carefully consider.

"Wave, I very much support your idea, and I'm also very grateful that you can invite me to be the music director of the Rolling Stones, but China is too far away from my home. Also, from a cost perspective, I suggest you and money It would be more appropriate for you to cooperate, sir.”

Bian Lang has never thought about this. Although Qian Shaowu has a good record as a recording engineer, he personally produced the albums of the older generation of well-known rock bands and several current singers and queens when they were young. .But now his main focus is as a sound engineer, and he is only invited to large-scale parties, music festivals and large-scale music festivals, so cooperation is unlikely.

Moreover, even if Qian Shaowu agreed, he could only help Bian Lang in the recording project, and his skills in music production and perception were far inferior to Olaf.

To give a less polite example, for the outro of Bian Lang's "Fade To Black", Qian Shaowu could adjust the sound effect he wanted according to Bian Lang's request, but if Bob didn't play well, he wouldn't give it. Provide accurate adjustment suggestions.

But Olaf can do it. He can not only point out the problem, but as long as you give him enough time, he can use the keyboard to simulate the same effect for you.

As for Pan Jianhu, the music director, he claimed that he could not keep up with the times when Bian Lang was recording the songs himself.

There is a lot of music to be produced by Bian Lang, and the coverage of styles is also diverse and rich.So we need a producer like Olaf, who is familiar with various music genres, to help Bianlang calm down the scene.

Especially in the later production of the entire album!

For an album, a music producer is to some extent equivalent to the director of a film and television drama.He not only controls the recording project, but also organizes and schedules production resources, supervises the recording process, mixes and masters post-production.

The style of the music producer determines the final direction of a record and is the soul of a record.

Of course Bian Lang will also be involved, but he is the one who sets the tone. More details and implementation-level matters require an experienced person like Olaf to help him control it.

Olaf is not without his shortcomings. His shortcoming is that he cannot speak Chinese well, but for a person who has a persistent pursuit of music, this can be made up for through learning.

After thinking about this, Bian Lang continued: "Olav, let me show you something."

After saying that, Bian Lang took the tablet and quickly logged onto the Copyright Network, then handed the tablet to Olaf.

Olaf didn't even look at the song titles carefully. He just looked at the serial number of the last song, 163, and took a breath of cold air: "Wave, are these songs composed by you?" It felt like he said nonsense. Rafe immediately added: "Wave, if you want to record all these songs, it will not be a simple project!"

"So, I really need you to help me! Olaf, although I have never met your wife, I heard that she is more interested in Chinese food. I believe she will support you in coming to work in China. As for the Hoffman Company, as long as you agree, I will talk to Walker."

At this point, Olaf was completely tempted, so he asked one more question: "What are you planning to do with your next album?"

"I already have a plan. The album is called "Three Nothings". It has only three songs. You have heard two of them... But there is no hurry about this. I hope to produce "Fade To Black" as soon as possible, and I will give Exodus The band wrote a song that needed an arrangement for an Irish whistle, and I thought you’d wait to find a good whistle player.”

Although the whistle originated from the Chinese flute, it was introduced to Europe in the [-]th century.In the fifteenth century, the Irish court had records about the royal whistle player. The whistle had six holes, commonly known as the six-hole flute, or six-hole whistle.

The whistle looks very similar to the Chinese piccolo, but over the centuries, the whistle has become the most commonly used instrument among the Celtic people.The timbre, playing style and playing techniques are completely different. Really good performance cannot be achieved by keyboard simulation.

Others might be able to make do with it, but for Bian Lang, a time traveler, he didn't want to make do with it if he had the conditions to restore the original flavor.

Olaf was also deeply impressed by the band Exodus, not because of the beautiful lead singer, but because he felt that there were very few bands in China that could master the style of death metal.

<divclass="contentadv">The key is that Bian Lang can actually create this style. You must know that this style is very different from the hard rock and punk that he thinks Bian Lang is best at.

"That's no problem. Just give me the score and I'll help you with it. I'll have to discuss it with my wife about coming to China, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!"

Seeing that the balance in Olaf's heart had begun to tilt towards the Chinese side, Bian Lang added another considerable weight to him.

"Olav, I also plan to open a modern music school in Spring City next. By then..."

"OMG! Wave, you are the most thoughtful Chinese musician I have ever seen so far! I am really looking forward to finally working with you..." If Bian Lang was a European and had this idea, then Olaf would only jokingly advise him to wash up and go to sleep.

But this is China, where the entire music education is relatively backward. Let alone whether it can reach the level described in the side talk, just having this idea and being able to say it in front of people, Olaf I feel that it is already worthy of respect.

"So, I need your help even more. After all, a public required course like the history of modern Western music requires a professional like you..."

"Stop! That's enough. Wave, if you continue to say this, I'm afraid I will agree to you directly!" In fact, there is no need for Bian Lang to continue, Olaf wants to agree now. As a musician with pursuits, in addition to his own production Besides being recognized by the audience for his works, what could be more satisfying to him than being able to teach others and solve their doubts?

But if he just agreed, not only would the company not be able to explain it, he would also be unable to explain it to his wife Hannah!

Seeing Olaf interrupting him so eagerly, Bian Lang smiled unkindly and said: "Olav, when I go to Europe this time, I will definitely bring more Chinese delicacies to visit your wife... …”

"Wave, you are such a devil..."

After the two chatted about the business, Bian Lang sent Olaf the score of "MyExodus" and then asked him to go downstairs to Mid-Levels.

Nowadays, the seats in Mid-Levels are already packed. Fortunately, Lao Tan always reserves a private room for the Rolling Stones and the others no matter how booming the business is, so Bian Lang doesn't have to worry about not having a place to sit.

Since the Rolling Stones Music Festival has just ended and the Magic Disc Music Festival opens tomorrow, it is a good time for musicians from all walks of life to gather here.There is no special performance tonight, just anyone who wants to play can come, the atmosphere is so good that you don’t want to miss it.

This made some drinkers who were not music fans a little unbearable. There was a bald man sitting at a table at the door of the private room, shaking a dice cup with a young girl. Maybe he lost a few games in a row, which made the man's face and bladder feel a little full. He couldn't stand it any longer, so he shouted to the girl: "You said that these people are just tinkering with a bunch of broken instruments, and there are no singers or DJs. Everyone is just enjoying themselves. What is it?"

The girl was originally very annoyed by this nouveau riche, so today she posted a photo of her drinking in Mid-Levels on her WeChat Moments, and this bald man came to meet her by chance after smelling the smell.It was originally a bourgeois party between her and her sisters. The addition of her eldest brother turned the originally relaxing game of listening to music, chatting and drinking wine into a "pig-killing game" of shaking dice and drinking wine...

Now when I heard what the eldest brother said, I immediately choked back on my words: "Didn't you see that only our table in the bar was shaking dice cups, and everyone else was enjoying the music?"

The elder brother didn't know whether he didn't understand or pretended not to understand. He said nonchalantly: "Xiao Ling, after you finish drinking this, I will take you to a newly opened nightclub and open a champagne tower. This beer does not taste good, it is very bitter. , wouldn’t it be a fake bar?”

The girl who was called Xiaoling was immediately amused: "Okay, then go and drink your champagne. We sisters are gathering here to listen to music. By the way, don't come here again with your attitude." It’s time to farm, be careful if the boss hears and beats you.”

After saying this, the eldest brother became anxious: "What's wrong with my attitude? Why don't we let people talk about selling fake wine? Believe it or not, I'm going to call and report it now..."

At this time, Xiaoling's sister also laughed: "Xiaoling is right. If you say this louder, even the old drinkers here will kick you out without the boss! You are a water drinker. Okay, don’t you know what real wine tastes like?”

"Hey, why are you talking?...You still won't let me..."

The private room in Banshan didn't even have a door that could be closed, and it was only separated from the outside by a curtain. The conversation at the table outside was actually listened to by Dayong and Bian Lang who were sitting at the door.

Before the eldest brother finished speaking, Dayong stood up, opened the curtain and made the sign of the cross on his chest, and then said seriously: "Amitabha! This donor, I will count with my fingers, if you don't Come on, the young boss of this brewery is going to argue with you."

"None of your business..." The eldest brother was about to retort when he saw Dayong, who was as tall as a mountain, and all the long-haired and flowery-armed men in the private room who were more social than him, and he immediately gave up.

Being refuted like this, the eldest brother naturally couldn't stay any longer. He stood up and said in a pretentious manner: "Xiao Ling, I'll go and find the booth first. I'll send you the address and table number later. Bring your sisters with you." .”

I didn't want to, but I heard Xiaoling say: "You should learn how to be polite in the future. Don't just talk and yell just because you have some money. I have deleted your WeChat account, and don't pester me in the future..."

Hearing this, Bian Lang had another song in his heart: "Don't you have to speak so arrogantly? Where are the rules... Maybe you should really learn politeness and don't let others criticize you... Put your The attitude has become more acceptable. You and I are equal, so don’t pester me..."
