Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Although he agreed to Ma Yuan's request on the surface, Qi Dongqiang himself knew that even if he found the crew and bought the song, no matter how powerful the producer was, there was no way Bian Lang would get his song accepted.

Unless Goose Egg apologizes!

But how could a goose egg do that? This proud goose egg didn’t know what it would hatch, but even if it hatched a duck, it would never bow its head.

However, this did not prevent him from wanting to push forward this matter. Anyway, his goal was to cover this song, and as for the final release, he would just leave it to God.

If you want to get the song, you have to get in touch with Bian Lang first, or at least leave an impression on him.

So he directly used his own big account to write a music review for "Hometown": "Hometown is not necessarily a geographical concept, it is more of a place that makes you feel at ease and makes you want to stop. It may be a city you have never been to, it may be a cafe, it may be a girl's arms. When I ate the authentic spicy hot pot in Sichuan Province, I knew that HDL was my homesickness!"

Lao Qi is not the only one who commented on "Hometown". King Liu, who has been following Bian Lang, also posted a Weibo after listening to this song:

"There are always some people who forget the meaning of their hometown! Why did they leave, and why did they come back? Hometown is a heart that can always forgive me. I have to walk a few paths and make a lot of mistakes before I realize that I want too much! I have to hate a lot of people and be heartbroken a few times before I understand how to become a strong city for love..."

There are also some female singers who are much more direct in their performance.

There was a first-line female singer in Kou Yong's company who was secretly acting weird with Dong Youbian when he went to Rolling Stone.

In terms of appearance and figure, she felt that she was more outstanding than Dong Youbian. She thought that if she had not accepted Xi Mangmang's invitation at that time, there would be no possibility for Dong Youbian and Bian Lang.

Later, after Kuacha got "Autumn Brew", she felt even more unbalanced. If Bian Lang had not interfered, this song would definitely have fallen into her hands.

The key point is that she had tried to get close to Dong Youbian and also put some effort into Kou Yong, but it was all to no avail.

After understanding "Hometown", she became even more jealous and went to make things difficult for Dong Youbian.

So on the homepage of her social account, there appeared such a paragraph:

When I heard "Hometown", a picture suddenly appeared in my mind. It was my 19th birthday, when I got my first cake in my life.

You and I escaped from the campus and ran to the fields beside the highway. Cars whizzed by, the setting sun was like blood in the sky, the wind was sharp as a knife, and I was as beautiful as a flower. We ran together and sang: "The setting sun in the sky once again reflected my face..." I changed the lyrics and sang: "I am your woman in the vast sea of ​​people." Then I threw myself into your arms.

That moment was my hometown, my hometown that I can never return to after three lifetimes.

Then countless female internet celebrities began to sing the song: "I am your woman in the vast sea of ​​people."

When Dong Youbian saw it, it was already the afternoon when they returned to Chuncheng. Comrade Dong was discussing with his wife whether to celebrate the festival in Chuncheng or go to Yangcheng. Then he heard Dong Youbian snort impatiently.

Dong Shuxian thought it was his daughter who had a problem, so he asked, "You should be able to spend the New Year with us this year, right? Do you want to stay in Yunnan Province, closer to Bianlang, or in Yangcheng?"

"I'm fine with either. It depends on what's convenient for you. It doesn't matter where we are, we'll just be a family of three!"

There is nothing wrong with what he said, but everyone can hear that there is some emotion in the tone.

As the head of the family, Dong Shuxian couldn't bear to hear such talk, but thinking that his daughter might not be here because of this matter, he made the final decision: "Then let's stay in Yunnan Province. It just so happens that Lao Luo called us to go to the Ant Nest together. It's not easy for the three of us to get food and drink, so let's stay together with Lao Luo's family."

Dong Youbian was not concerned about this matter, so he replied casually: "Okay, then just order it. Let's see what to send to Teacher Luo, and I'll arrange it."

Although Dong Youbian was angry, he was not so petty as to immediately record a cover of "I am your woman in the vast sea of ​​people..." to prove his identity.

I just really can't stand the behavior of the front line of my former company.

However, before she could figure out what to do, Bian Lang's response came.

At that time, Bian Lang had just returned to the company and was preparing to record a new demo for "Fuxian Lake" and give it to Yuxi Culture and Tourism for use first.

But as soon as Hua Yan was called over, Chen Shuting followed.

"Bian Lang, Mr. Kou called me and asked me to apologize to you. That first-line female singer in their company..."

If Kou Yong hadn't taken the initiative to tell him, Bian Lang would have had no idea about these relationships. After he figured it out, he also felt that this guy was really something.

Originally, it would be best to just ignore this matter and let it pass without any response.

But Chen Shuting felt that Bian Lang still had to make a statement on this matter: "Her secondary creation with a hidden meaning is completely exploiting you. If you don't make a statement now, you will be upset if there are more such things in the future!"

Would Bian Lang be upset? Of course he wouldn't be upset, but Dong Youbian couldn't not care.

Dong Youbian was upset, which indirectly caused trouble for Bian Lang. The key point was that Chen Shuting felt that if this happened more often, the combination of Dong Youbian and Chen Manman might not be able to deal with it well.

"Okay, I'll think about how to fix it. Anyway, the song has already been covered so many times online, so a statement like that is useless."

The key thing that Bian Lang himself is very clear about is that in this era of fragmented entertainment, there are some things that you simply cannot control.

If he were a single person, there wouldn’t be much to be aware of, but now with so many musicians behind him, his ego can only be kept within a relatively controllable range.

It is not advisable to start cursing directly. Since the problem was caused by the song, it is better to solve it with the song.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang remembered something about the song "Hometown".

In fact, the current version of the lyrics is not the original version of the song. Xu Shaonian talked about this at a concert.

At the time, he told his fans that the original arrangement was not easy to handle, so he used the simplified version later.

The outside world doesn’t know how the original lyrics and the original music work together, but people in the circle like Bian Lang have had the opportunity to hear them several times.

Although as Xu Shaonian himself said, he was not very satisfied with his work and the result was not the best, but the talent of the original lyrics was such that there would be absolutely no problem in publishing it directly as a modern poem.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang called Liangzi and asked him to prepare a live broadcast in the rock sauna.

While Liangzi was preparing, he also said hello to the small station.

When they heard that Bian Lang was going abroad, they must have mobilized all kinds of resources.

After all, the upcoming Spring Festival is the turn for CCTV and various satellite TV stations to dominate the screen with their evening shows, and they did not get the network broadcasting rights from any of them. So if they can finally come across a topic that can spark a firestorm, they must seize it.

So when the advertisement "Bian Lang visits the rock sauna and reinterprets the creation of "Hometown"!" popped up on the homepage of the small broken station, the music fans who had been aroused by today's series of videos and wanted to interact with Bian Lang were excited.

"It seems that Bian Lang is still protecting his child. It's better not to touch some restricted areas!"

"Yeah, although I think the story they made up is quite touching, but when I look at the person who posted it, I feel a little uncomfortable! It would be nice if Bian Lang could interpret it carefully himself!"

"In fact, sometimes I feel conflicted. As a fan of the Rolling Stones, I wish my music aesthetics would be praised by people all over the world. But when I see those people's 'covers' on the Internet, I really hope that I am the only one in the world who has heard this song!"

"I'm also very conflicted. When rock music wasn't doing well, we felt aggrieved! Now that first-tier artists are trying to take advantage of rock music's popularity, I feel like this thing just shouldn't go away at all!"

Seeing that a group of music fans had already started chatting, Liangzi, who was still waiting for Bian Lang to prepare, had something to say.

He also discussed this matter with Bian Lang, because Ershoumeigui often faces such doubts.

At that time, Bian Lang’s answer to him was: “Why do you think so much? Making good music is the highest belief of us musicians! As for other things, let time judge!”

When Bian Lang said this, he was actually referring to the situation of rock music in Europe and America. Take Chongtuan for example, do you think their songs are not as popular as those of pop singers?

The song "Hey Jude" was covered by unpopular singers and became popular all over China on the original Earth, but can you say that Zerg is not a rock band?

To put it another way, if Metallica goes on tour in Europe, there will probably be few pop singers in the world whose concerts can exceed the scale of theirs. Their songs may be more popular and sung than many pop singers, but can you say that they don't want rock music?

But this kind of thing will never happen in China! There are always some people who don't know what they are thinking, who will criticize a rock band from an angle that you can't even imagine!

And maybe when this band was not so popular, these people were once fans of this band!

So, in a sense, Chinese rock is quite distorted both in its practitioners and its audiences.

Liangzi certainly had no idea about these things, but that didn't stop him from repeating Bian Lang's words verbatim to his fans.

After hearing this explanation, some music fans actually began to understand a little bit.

For example, the song "Shame" can now be said to be one of the best works of Chinese rock in recent years. However, when it was first released last year, it was still criticized by many people for being bad, saying that it was too aggressive and that writing songs with the purpose of criticism was not in line with current musical aesthetics.

But the final fact is that, as time went by, because of the various events caused by this song, and more and more new songs were compared with "Shame", those who originally thought that this song was not good gradually accepted it.

Those who originally thought it was just average, the more they listened to it, the more they felt that this song was well written!

There were also some people who originally didn't listen to rock music at all, but were drawn into the Rolling Stones!

After all, music aesthetics can be cultivated through guidance. As a teacher from the original Earth once said, "You can't blame the current audience for their low level of music aesthetics, because they have never heard of anything good before!"

“Indeed, I now look back at music that I didn’t like decades ago and now find that it’s actually pretty good!”

"...I don't know what to say. I just hope that in a few years, my wife can do her homework with me while listening to the Rolling Stones!"

Bian Lang was actually already prepared, but he was watching everyone's discussion on his phone and found it quite interesting, so he had no intention of interrupting.

Seeing that everyone had finished chatting, Bian Lang finally entered Liangzi's camera.

Seeing Bian Lang enter the picture, the direction of the comments section changed immediately:

"Brother Lang, let's not talk about anything else, let's have the full version of "Fuxian Lake"!"

"Brother Lang, I haven't seen you live for a long time. Do you need to arrange a new song?"

"Brother Lang, please don't bother with those idiots. They are not worth it..."

After greeting the netizens in the live broadcast room, Bian Lang read a few sentences before speaking: "We'll talk about these things later. Let's talk about "Hometown" first. I read that joke online, it's actually very well written. I think if this story is given to someone, it should be able to be used as a script for an MV!"

After listening to what Bian Lang said, everyone understood the meaning behind this, so the "hehe" that no one knew what it meant started to fill the live broadcast room.

"But it's still too simple. After all, there is a fundamental difference between a 19-year-old girl and a woman who can start a family with you. Although I'm not married yet, who hasn't been young? And there is also an original version of the lyrics of this song, but I think that kind of real, very personal emotions may not be suitable to be sung."

"But now that I think about it, it would be better to give everyone and Miss Dong a more complete experience!"

As soon as this was said, the entire comment section went wild:

"It seems like you gave me the simplified version!"

"Can we still play like this? Bian Lang, do you look down on my level of appreciation, or do you think Dong Da is unworthy?"

"It's over, Bian Lang, you really have angered everyone!"

Bian Lang looked at these teasing words, smiled slightly and said: "If you want to listen, shut up! Listen carefully!"

After saying this, the comment section became a lot quieter!

Then I saw Bian Lang holding Ovation, pressing an EM chord and strumming. After 4 bars, I heard Bian Lang start singing:

"The white horse under my crotch is as fast as lightning, that is the ancient wilderness...

I passed by your eyes, and you couldn't even see my face...

Only the silver scabbard on my back, shining brightly in the sun...

I must arrive before dusk, I want to see my lover's beautiful face in the sunset...

When the wind chimes sounded, her dress danced in the wind..."

After listening to Bian Lang's singing, most male singers felt that the sense of immersion was a bit too much.

The two female fans all thought: "Oh my god! I've never seen a middle school boy as romantic as Bian Lang!"
