Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 395 Let the guitar have some dignity left

In an instant, countless memories that had been dusted off but would never be forgotten began to surge in Qi Yue's mind.

Nanluoguxiang is right next to Gulou East Street. Their store is located here. I really don’t have too many memories of being on Gulou East Street.

The lyrics just sounded like they were sung to her by Lao Lei...

And she wiped her tears and silently gave this answer in her heart: "I can't wait for you anymore, Lao Lei, I will already be a little old lady by then. I hope that in the next life you will be full of romance..."

The singing did not stop because of her crying. She finally started to pluck the strings and started to play the lead tone, which was stuck on the counter-rhythm point of Dong Shuxian's violin melody.

Liu Yao, who started to sweep the rhythm, also opened his voice and sang: "Give us a song worth singing, let the guitar have some dignity left..."

When Bian Lang sang the word "dignity" with a slow chorus, it felt like the three guitars on the stage were talking like human voices.

The melodies of the piano and violin were still silently supporting her.

At this moment, everyone in the audience who knew how to play the guitar clenched their back molars and made a "sizzling" sound in their mouths.

Looking at Liu Yi again, while she lamented that Bian Lang was so talented at writing lyrics, she was also glad that she didn't have any thoughts of lip-synching from the beginning of the show.

He felt that the sound that only he could hear was not the sound of the piano, but the sound of sobbing!

The people present were all people in the industry, and there were so many cameras staring at them. They were all people who weighed the pros and cons. No one made any drastic move, but the live broadcast room exploded:

"Fuck! These lyrics make me feel heartbroken!"

"Haha! The organizer is not stupid. If he knew the lyrics in advance, how could he let Bian Lang come on stage!"

Immediately afterwards came the chorus followed by Bian Lang: "Flowing water...wu...wu...wu...junershiwudegaduo..."

The 4-bar interlude ended, and when the chorus started again, it was replaced by Liu Yao and Bian Lang, alternating and repeating!

"With these lyrics, every passerby listens to emo, and even the guitarist listens to it."

After singing this line, Dayong, who had been playing cymbals before, and Huang Kai, who had been holding the wooden bass and rocking it, finally moved.

As for Wang Yunfei, he only felt that the lyrics written by Bian Lang were more serious than the baggage in their cross talk. With his slight shaking, Yun Cun probably didn't know how much public relations money he had to spend afterwards!

Before, they just felt helpless about being forced to lip-sync, but now after hearing Bianlang's lyrics, they felt that no matter what the reason was, what the organizer did was really disrespectful.

At the rehearsal scene of BJ TV, Zhang Ting was so shocked that he was speechless!

As for Liu Xiaokui, his admiration for Bian Lang had already reached its peak. Anyway, he didn't know what other adjectives he could use to express his shock.

He couldn't help but think of the band's late guitarist Xiu Jieke: "If Jieke could hear these words, he would probably cry miserably!"

Although he mainly plays keyboards, as a musician, if the guitar of this lyrics is replaced with any instrument, even when he is forced to pretend to play, these lyrics can still resonate with the player.

The organizer knew the lyrics in advance, but due to time constraints, the director and the staff responsible for reviewing the lyrics took a quick look at them and made sure there were no sensitive words that would hit the mark, and then submitted them directly for reporting.

It seems that while sending the running water, it is also reminding the running water to "flow faster!"

In addition, the plan at that time was to let Rolling Stone and Liu Yaozhen sing. After people from Pengcheng came to say hello later, the organizer wanted to force Rolling Stone to lip-sync. Time was tight, so no one thought deeply about the lyrics. The current situation has just emerged.

At this time, the next line of lyrics was also narrated from Liu Yao's mouth: "I was once at the end of the world, delusional about the world, that's all..."

After three repeated choruses, there was another interlude, but this time only Dayong's "ta da da... da da da... da da... da da da da..." was left. The sound of military drums.

"Is this a script pre-set by Bian Lang and the organizer?"

I saw Dayong's pair of drumsticks falling on the military drum like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, and to the accompaniment of what was like a quiet lake, the only ripples before stirred up a few drops of water.

The folk singer sitting in the row behind Dong You felt extremely regretful. He just felt that the dignity of the piano he used during the performance had been desecrated by him!

At this time, all the musicians on the stage joined in, and the soothing piano, the majestic strings, the jumping guitar, the low bass, and the rush of the drums were intertwined.

A scene of a person standing alone on the shore, quietly watching the water rushing past appears in the mind of the listener, and the flowing water also reflects their respective pasts, just a quick glance, and when they look up again, there are already thousands of sails And passed...

After the two sang eight lines alternately, Bai Bianlang sang steadily in the alto range: "Flowing water... Wu... Wu... Wu... Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

And Liu Yao used the Yi dialect: "junershiwudegaduo..." After each sentence was slowed down by two beats, he sang for Bian Lang.

Although the sound quality was too loud, the two people's exquisite cooperation made the song sound like a self-mixed song.

The tuner's hand holding the monitor couldn't help shaking, and he kept lamenting one after another. In my heart, I not only scolded the ignorant event company, but also scolded myself: "Such a classic scene was brought down by this crappy sound system!"

At this time, the director's dialogue had already fallen to the ground. He knew that this might be the most classic party performance he had ever directed in his career, and there would be basically no chance of replicating it in the future.

Not only will these shameful coincidences never happen again, but he will also never have the chance to collaborate with Rolling Stone and Liu Yao!

And the Rolling Stones here don’t just refer to the Rolling Stones, but the entire Rolling Stones music!

During the whole process of singing this song, he twice thought about pulling the plug, but recalling Bian Lang's words: "Give us a song worth singing..." He felt that if he did that, it would be Committing a crime!

The word "gift" was a loud slap in the face to everyone involved in the decision-making and execution of this matter!

As for the CEO of Yuncun, there were leaders around him. On his face, he seemed excited about this classic scene, but inside he was already panicking. I have already begun to think about which public relations company I should find to deal with the aftermath.

The song "Send Running Water" finally ended with Dayong's "ta da da... da da da... da da... da da da da..." sound of the military drum.

<divclass="contentadv">Then Bian Lang and Liu Yao reached for the microphone in front of them at the same time. Finally, Bian Lang took a step ahead of Liu Yao, brought the microphone to his mouth, and said without a pause: "Thank you, Thank you to everyone present and the organizer for giving us musicians the last bit of dignity!”

After finishing speaking, Bian Lang pulled the microphone stand and bowed deeply to the audience!

Then Liu Yao, whose hand was still on the microphone, also bowed, followed by Di Li, Huang Kai, Hua Yan, Dayong and Dong Shuxian!

At this time, in the audience, Pengcheng's leader was the first to stand up and take the lead in applauding Bian Lang on the stage.

Amidst the applause containing various emotions from the audience, Bian Lang led everyone away from the stage.

The director who was about to apologize didn't even have time to say anything when he was stunned on the spot by a group of people who didn't even turn their heads or even look at him.

The leader of Pengcheng also saw some clues at this time, turned to the CEO of Yuncun next to him and asked: "What on earth is going on?"

The Bianlang guys put away their instruments backstage and left directly through the passageway backstage, not even taking the pile of trophies left on their seats.

In the end, Pan Jianhu and Dong Youbian brought it back!

Although the awards ceremony was not over yet, people started to get up and leave the area where the Rolling Stones and others were sitting.

Ma Yuan looked at the screen and fell into deep thought.

Bian Lang's last thank you seemed sincere on the surface, but it was also a mockery of the organizer!

He knew that this should be the best time for Goudan and the Rolling Stones to repair their relationship. Yuncun almost gave them this opportunity with both hands, but when he recalled the scene when Goudan banned the Rolling Stones and other rock bands, he finally just I was able to keep the idea of ​​repairing the relationship in my heart.

He didn't know whether Yun Cun would eventually break up with Rolling Stone, but he knew that even if Rolling Stone finally broke up with Yuncun, Rolling Stone would never cooperate with Gou Dan again!

At this time, Xiazie Music was already working on formulating an exclusive copyright contract with Rolling Stone.

In the group of White Horse and Purple Dragon, there was now a rare silence. After seeing the Rolling Stones come off the stage, Bai Dao burst into tears again. After taking off his glasses and wiping away his tears, he walked to his bookshelf.

After searching for a while, he stood on tiptoe and took down a novel called "Siddhartha" from the top shelf of the bookshelf.

I searched along the table of contents, turned to one of the chapters called "Boatman", and then sat back in front of the computer.

Then he opened Weibo and found the bunker under Bian Langchaohua and posted it.

At this time, someone had already typed out the lyrics to "Send Running Water" with a quick hand.

After he clicked in, he clicked on comments and excerpted a sentence from the book as a music review: "I learned to listen from the river, and you should learn from it too. The river knows everything, and you can learn everything by asking the river to teach you." , you have learned to stay on the ground, learn to be silent and explore the depths."

As for Liu Ziyang, he is already packing his luggage.

He bought the guitar's last flight to Zhenze City, and was going to provide tuning support for the Rolling Stones' recording of the Little Broken Station New Year's Eve party!

It’s not that he’s afraid that Xiao Po Zhan will do the same thing, he just feels that every scene played by the Rolling Stones is destined to be a classic, and he wants to leave his own place in it as a participant.

As for the majority of netizens, they are now going to Yuncun's Weibo and have begun to denounce their shameless operation.

At BJ Airport, Chen Shuting, who was still waiting to change flights and go directly to Zhenze City, received a call from Yuncun. After a respectful greeting, the person on the other end began to ask about the formation of the Rolling Stones.

Although Chen Shuting was not present at the scene, through Zhou Ketong's report, she basically got an overview of what happened. She also understood the meaning of the other party, but the final decision on this matter had to be met and communicated with Bian Lang. Only then can you decide whether to talk or break up.

However, her personal preference is that firstly, the Yunchun incident is not directed at the Rolling Stones, and its nature is completely different from when Goedan Music blocked the Rolling Stones; secondly, the Rolling Stones maintained the dignity of rock music at the scene, and the band not only There was no negative impact due to this incident; thirdly, it was Yuncun's willingness to bleed heavily.

"I'm sorry, the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang are very busy with their upcoming schedules and there is no time to meet and chat. If you have any questions, just communicate with me online directly."

Facing the powerful Chen Shuting, the people from Yuncun paused for two seconds and then said directly: "We will draft a new contract for the Rolling Stones, but the figures for some of the terms need to be communicated to you in person. There is also the sound source of the new song... "

Hearing that the other party had already stated the conditions, Chen Shuting put a smile on her lips and replied politely: "See you in Spring City on the 29th..."

……

Two hours later, a large group of Rolling Stones people showed up at Pengcheng Airport. The Rolling Stones and Dong Youbian flew directly to Zhenze, Pan Jianhu returned to Spring City, and Liu Yao wanted to return to BJ.

The leader of Pengcheng, who already knows the whole story, is now reprimanding the subordinate who was still complacent and ready to ask for credit: "What you did is completely tarnishing Pengcheng's city image. We will go to Pengcheng again in the future." Who would dare to agree to this kind of related cultural activity?"

The subordinates were also very depressed. His operation seemed to have no problems in the past. Everyone was doing it the same way. Why did he encounter problems now?

Seeing that he didn't speak, the leader suppressed his anger and continued: "Now hurry up and think of ways to resolve public opinion. You can't deal with it coldly. I will investigate the relevant responsible persons and event companies to the end, and don't miss any link. . When facing netizens, you must have an attitude that if you do something wrong, you should stand up and be beaten. You will coordinate with Yuncun, and the notice must appear online within an hour."

Four hours later, the Rolling Stones and their group had just landed at Zhenze Airport. On their way to pick up their luggage, Zhou Ketong showed Bian Lang the draft document admitting their mistake between Pengcheng Cultural Tourism and Yuncun.

This time, both parties did not shirk their responsibilities and directly acknowledged the matter. Pengcheng Cultural Tourism directly announced that it would issue relevant documents prohibiting lip-synching in performance activities.

After reading it, Bian Lang remembered the "Real Singing Movement" launched by the original Earth Lao Cui in 2002. There was so much commotion at the time that even the Spring Festival Gala, which had been lip-syncing for 10 years, started singing for real.

But from the perspective of latecomers, this movement only achieved a small stage victory in the end. At that time, how many of the managers, producers, directors and singers who signed the True Sing Movement actually fulfilled their promise?

Investigating the fundamental reason, perhaps the biggest blame still has to be placed on capital.

Bian Lang felt that if Lao Cui's movement had succeeded at that time, it would have at least improved some of the perennial decline of the Chinese music scene.

To perform well and sing well, you need to measure your own conditions, and not use technical means to "deceive" the audience under the guise of traffic.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang decided to follow Lao Cui's path and promote the "True Singing Movement" in Shuilan Star when he is able!
