Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory
Chapter 521 Annual Meeting (2)
Under the stimulation of this big prize, many people simply ignored what the prizes behind it were.
Only a few of them started discussing the physical rewards behind them.
For example, these guys who have changed their name to Mr. Turtle, as a new band to join the Rolling Stones, have released a classic song like "Boys Don't Cry" not long after they arrived, and they are already quite satisfied.
Another thing is that as a band, creating your own works is the foundation, otherwise it is not called a band.
Looking at Tank3000, which had been relegated to second prize, Tu Ling said seriously, "If we win this prize, how will we divide it among the band members?"
The guitarist replied in all seriousness: "I don't have a driver's license, you guys can just discuss it."
"I'm the only one with a driver's license! You still need to discuss it, what do you mean?" The bassist's daily breakdown always comes without warning.
Liu Huzhou, who had been standing beside them, couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Brothers? You make it sound like you'll definitely be chosen! Even if we draw by the number of people, it'll be Rolling Stone and Compass! There are only three of you, how can you compete with them?"
"That's better than just you alone!"
As the meal time got closer, more and more people gathered on the grass in the dining area.
Tan Ying and Tan Xiao were standing next to the roasted whole lamb rack, watching the sizzling whole lamb. They explained to their daughter, who had never been to the grassland, "The sheep used in Yunnan Province have a different taste from the sheep on the grassland. They marinate them with a lot of spices before roasting them..."
As for Dayong and his friends, they were talking about the brand of fried mullet in the buffet area.
"The wave-resistant fish, even though this little creature has a domineering name, it still can't escape the clutches of the waves in the end!"
Not far away, Olaf and his wife were struggling with their conscience over the wild dishes made from various insects.
According to the European eating habits, they don't even eat many of the internal organs of poultry and livestock, let alone insects rich in various high-protein foods.
But during the time in Spring City, Olaf's wife has tried many kinds of "dark cuisine". Although the ingredients and methods sounded completely unacceptable to them, after eating bee pupae with their eyes closed once, Olaf's wife's resistance to these strange-looking foods has been quite low.
Just when the two were hesitating whether to try bamboo worms or water centipedes first, Bian Lang pulled them out from somewhere, pointed at the worms and said, "Those that are available in this season must be frozen. I suggest eating bamboo worms, and water centipedes must have spit out sand when they are alive, so that they won't hurt your teeth when you eat them."
Olaf and his wife thought this was a very good suggestion. When they were about to pick up a piece of food with their meal, they found that Bian Lang had actually picked up a water centipede with chopsticks and put it directly into his mouth and started chewing it.
The couple looked at Bian Lang in confusion, the subtext in their minds was: "You suggested that I eat bamboo worms, but you yourself were eating water centipedes so deliciously, are you sure you are not trying to steal food from us?"
Olaf didn't have much time to think about it anymore, so he just started to insult Wave like a close friend: "Wave, don't you think your behavior is shameless?"
"No, even though it hurts your teeth, it doesn't affect the fact that it tastes good!"
On the temporary stage, Pan Jianhu and Liu Ziyang had already begun to adjust various musical instruments and sound systems.
Although it is not open to the public and there is no live broadcast, the Rolling Stones' annual meeting cannot be without performances by various bands. If the sound system is not good, then if the video is leaked, people on the Internet will laugh at it.
Liang Zi, who was temporarily acting as the host, was not nervous at all. However, when he looked at the performance schedule, he felt it was unreasonable.
Anyway, they were all just entertaining themselves, and it would be boring if something went wrong. So he went to discuss it with Liu Ziyang.
Upon hearing that the performance order was to be changed, Liu Ziyang said with a sly smile, "You are right. If Bian Lang were to perform last, he would have been drunk by then. What's the point of singing? It would be good enough if he could get his tongue straight and speak! In an occasion like tonight, it's impossible for him not to sing. Let him be the first!"
"Well, I'll go talk to Sister Shu Ting, and after she finishes speaking, I'll start summoning Brother Lang to the stage!"
Hearing this, Pan Jianhu also joined in: "Let me take a look. It turns out that the opening is Ma Yuan. I'll go and tell Jin Ma and the others. That kid has sung the opening so many times but still can't get rid of his nervousness. By the way, has Bian Lang decided what to sing?"
"Hey! Who knows? I just asked Dayong and he said he didn't know. Anyway, the musicians of the Rolling Stones are used to it, so they can just improvise the accompaniment when the time comes."
"That's right. Anyway, if it's from the music library, Dayong and the others have basically practiced it. If Bian Lang wants to improvise, that's also great. Qiu Luo is in charge of the videography tonight, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Just like that, a group of people discussed privately for a while and then sold Bian Lang.
The main character, Bian Lang, still hasn't figured out what song he will sing at the end of tonight's show.
After joining the company, musicians such as the Rolling Stones basically go through all the songs in the music library first, and then start to practice the ones they particularly like.
Because Dayong is from the Bay Area and was attracted to the band by the song "No More Hesitation" by Bian Lang, he has a special liking for the Beyond songs in their music library.
Bian Lang added more than 10 songs from Beyond one after another, and Dayong had basically practiced to the point where he could sing along just by saying the song title.
So he has been intentionally suggesting to Bian Lang to release another Cantonese song these days, but Bian Lang has never agreed.
As for honing his skills, he specifically looks for songs with longer preludes, interludes and outings, and then arranges them himself, hoping that there will be a song whose guitar arrangement can surpass that of Bian Lang.
Strauss is of the same type, but her Chinese is still of a very poor standard, so her eyes are all on English songs, especially Pink Floyd's.
Including "Comfortably Numb", there are currently only five Pink Floyd songs in her music library, but she has completely mastered the melody and chords of each song.
She even tried some arrangements in this psychedelic style based on the chord progression of "Comfortably Numb".
Huang Kai had no taboos. As long as he heard from Dayong that there were drum beats suitable for bass solo, he would tinker with it himself. Even if his arrangement was not as good as Bian Lang's in the end, at least he was familiar with the chord progression.
Hua Yan is also a contestant who has no taboos, but he spends more time than Huang Kai. He has gone through all the songs in the music library more than once, just to ensure that if Bian Lang wants to make a surprise attack, he can help Bian Lang arrange some parts other than guitar and use the keyboard on the spot.
Although Bian Lang himself didn't know, Liang Zi and several others had informed him in advance.
So now everyone is wondering in their hearts what Bian Lang wants to sing, but they don’t want to reveal that they know Bian Lang has been sold, so they don’t want to keep asking.
When it was getting dark, Liangzi's voice finally came from the speakers: "Everyone, pay attention, find your seats quickly, and keep an eye on your wives and children, so that you don't get drunk and lose them. Remember to bring more food to the table, and when Sister Shu Ting starts speaking, don't get up and walk around casually..."
With that opening line, everyone started to take their seats in band groups with their families.
Two single people like Chen Xuan and Liu Huzhou just looked for people they were familiar with to share a table.
The most eye-catching three tables in the middle, one table is for all the members of the Rolling Stones, Chen Shuting, Pan Jianhu, Olaf and Liu Ziyang. Originally, they wanted to add a seat for Dong Youbian, but Dong Youbian took the initiative to refuse and sat at the same table with his parents who had just arrived and Bian Hai and his wife.
Sitting at the same table were Lao Mo, Mrs. Hu, and a few people from the animation studio.
Huang Jie and his friends were so happy that they were able to sneak in and attend the annual meeting thanks to their common boss!
Take Huang Jie for example, her mother asked Chen Shuting directly, but was eventually rejected. But Huang Jie can now sit at the table in the first row and even sent Huang Wei a selfie with the stage as the background.
Huang Wei was currently at a company's annual meeting. She had just finished singing and was sitting at a table with several other performing guests when she received this selfie.
The singer sitting next to her had a good relationship with her and his family also had a daughter. She took the initiative to hand her the phone and said, "Look, I am not as good as a kid who draws cartoons. She can sit in the front row at the Rolling Stones' annual meeting. It's really..."
The quasi-frontline came over to watch for a while, and said enviously: "Just be content. You have collaborated with the Rolling Stones on a single album, and you have a family member in the company. My agent has contacted Chen Shuting countless times, and last time I met her for dinner several times in BJ, but I didn't see her."
Huang Wei didn't dare to respond lightly, for fear that if she wasn't careful, she would offend both parties.
But if she had to offend one side, she would naturally choose to offend the one next to her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhun Yixian smiled and added, "Don't think too much, I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else. Everyone in the circle knows Bian Lang's style of doing things. If you use your connections to force it, it will definitely backfire!"
Huang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking for a moment, she changed the subject and asked, "Isn't your daughter learning a musical instrument? How old is she this year? Where did she go to school?"
"Well, I'm confused when I think about this. She used to learn the viola well, but now she has to learn the guitar. I originally planned to send her to the Central Conservatory of Music or to Europe, but now I'm afraid she will have to be sent to the United States."
Huang Wei thought of something when she heard this, but she didn't say it directly. Instead, she asked indirectly, "Why do you suddenly want to play guitar when you are studying viola so hard?"
"Didn't the Rolling Stones have a new female guitarist? She watched the video of the Rolling Stones as a guest in Berlin. At that time, wasn't it the female guitarist and He Dili who were guarding Bian Lang on both sides? She thought that was so cool, and then..."
"Isn't this a coincidence? The Rolling Stones are planning to set up a music school. I heard that the teachers who will teach musical instruments will mainly be the Rolling Stones. Why don't you ask your daughter for her opinion?"
Not many people know that the Rolling Stones are going to open a school, especially those outside the company. Many people who heard it think that the Rolling Stones are just shouting slogans and don't really want to do it.
However, Huang Wei's relationship with the Rolling Stones makes what she says much more feasible than others.
"You said this is true? Then is their school considered a college or university?"
"I don't know the details, I just know that they are working together with Dianyi and Xinghai. The location was found before the New Year, and I heard that the recording studio has been built. Olaf is leading it, and I plan to go to Chuncheng to record songs in the future!"
I heard that the recording studio was set up, and it was Olaf, the top music producer in Europe and the United States, who was so popular that I was moved.
"Weiwei, please keep an eye on this matter at the school for me. Let me know when you have any confirmed news. I'll see if I can go there to try to record a new song after the New Year."
While the two were chatting, the LED screen on the stage at the Rolling Stones' annual meeting had already begun to rotate the achievements of the Rolling Stones in the past six months.
Then she changed out of her down jacket and put on a leather outfit, changing from her usual OL look.
At first glance, he really looks like a rock musician or a biker.
Except for Lao Mo, everyone at the scene saw her wearing this outfit for the first time, and they started clapping and whistling!
"Wow, with Shu Ting's talent, if she had the time to learn, she would have a good chance of being a drummer!" Pan Jianhu said while clapping.
After Bian Lang whistled, he replied: "Come on, we still have to rely on her for business matters..."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Shuting gave a metal salute on the stage and said, "Once we Rolling Stones start rocking, we can't stop!"
Then, the former stars on the stage all changed their identities and became fans, and began to salute and shout: "Rock will never die! Long live the Rolling Stones!"
After calming down a bit, Chen Shuting continued, "In the past six months, I believe that everyone has felt the same as I did, that it's unreal. Rolling Stone Music was created from scratch. Under the leadership of Bian Lang, we held our own music festival..."
After saying this, she paused, then looked behind her, and immediately the big screen began to play footage from the Rolling Stones Music Festival.
Although not much time had passed, the classic scenes on the scene, especially Hatter's accompaniment and leading the audience in singing "Rock on the New Long March" and the Rolling Stones' "Fade To Black", were so exciting that the people who witnessed it were deeply moved.
Mrs. Tiger: "These foreigners in Hatter are really good at it. The effect of the encore of this song is really amazing. This is how Talent Summer Rock goes out!"
Ou Feina: "Yes, I saw people performing it on the streets of Europe. I am really proud of Chinese rock!"
Di Li looked at the part where Bob played the lead guitar solo and said with some annoyance, "It would have been great if I had joined the Rolling Stones earlier! The solo in "Fade To Black" was so well written. I missed the premiere. Next time I see Bob, I must give him a good beating!"
"Who can you blame since you were busy trading stocks at that time? If Brother Hu hadn't brought you a guitar, you wouldn't have met Bian Lang on the plane!" Huang Kai said with a smile.
"Youbian also contributed to this. If it weren't for her guitar case which is the same as yours, you wouldn't have met in advance at the airport. We don't know how things would have developed afterwards..."
As the scene turned to England, Chen Shuting continued, "Last year, the Rolling Stones also brought our Chinese rock music to Europe as a guest performer, opening a new chapter for our Chinese rock music to go overseas..."
