Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Bian Lang’s idea was very simple. He only remembered one or two of the most classic songs, so he took them out to serve as a model for the musicians on Shuilan Star, so that everyone could have a direction to learn from!

As for whether or not to create an MDSK rap label like Original Earth Modern, that is something to be discussed later.

In fact, the reason why rap is at the bottom of the contempt chain is that the works are not good enough.

Whether on the original Earth or the Blue Water Planet, the works of these rappers can take into account both lyrics and musicality like Jay Chou's "Nunchucks".

Or it can be as majestic as Laojiu's "Mountain and River Map", which can sing out a beautiful China and evoke the Chinese people's infinite national pride.

Then no one will look down on rappers!

But the problem is that you keep saying "cram at the last minute" every day, and the rest is all diss and verbal battles. How can you expect many people to treat you well?

When Bian Lang said that it didn't matter, Lao Pan and Liu Ziyang were stunned.

Putting aside the issue of the contempt chain, these two people are also quite familiar with Bian Lang's music library. So far, they have not seen a song related to rap, so no matter how confident Bian Lang's words are, they still maintain a certain degree of skepticism.

It’s not that Bian Lang doesn’t have the ability. How could the lyrics of a song like “Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty” be bad? Not to mention the music and arrangement.

What they doubted was how much energy Bian Lang would put into completing this "attempt"!

Bian Lang's debut in every music genre is a classic. If you fail in rap and are pulled down from the altar because of a song, it would be a loss...

"Bian Lang, if you write it, will you sing it yourself?"

"I'm not that fluent in speaking, so of course I sing for others!"

After hearing what Bian Lang said, Liu Ziyang became curious: "How fast do you plan to write this song?"

"I'll write it first... Mr. Kou, please leave this guy with me first. I still need to learn some things from him!" For this song, Bian Lang couldn't just speak and write it as he did for the other songs.

The arrangement part is easy to explain. This song is a fusion of new metal and Chinese style. Bian Lang had carefully analyzed the arrangement of this song when he was in the original Earth.

However, it is not so easy to restore the lyrics. He only read the lyrics once or twice in their entirety when he was on the original Earth.

Even with unclear pronunciation, I can still understand it smoothly, but I can't remember some parts of the lyrics so clearly.

Having a rapper with good vocals can at least help Bian Lang improve his speed and the degree of restoration.

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this. They thought this was probably the biggest joke they had heard this year.

Bian Lang wants to learn from a rapper who is still ostracized in the circle?

This joke is a bit...

Hei Lun just happened to come down at this time. After hearing those words without any context, he didn't know whether he was shocked or frightened, and he almost fell to the ground without standing steadily.

Fortunately, Old Tan who was passing by helped him, so he didn't have to kneel down and become a disciple on the spot.

"Boy, don't you have enough wine? Let me tell you, if you order one of Bian Lang's inspiration packages, I guarantee you'll be a great songwriter..."

Faced with Lao Tan’s sales pitch, He Lun is now a little overwhelmed.

It wasn't until Kou Yong spoke that the awkward atmosphere was broken: "Hei Lun, come over quickly and go with Teacher Bian. He plans to let you stay in Chuncheng for a while and create a Chinese style rap song with him!"

"What? I... Teacher Bian, respect!"

He Lun was a little confused now. He never expected that the dream that was once picked up by the Rolling Stones would appear before his eyes like this.

At this moment, he had completely forgotten the purpose of coming here.

The opportunity to participate in a music festival is no longer important. If he can learn how to produce accompaniment from Bian Lang, he will have the confidence that he can perform his Chinese-style rap better and more stylishly, and even create a groundbreaking work.

If other musicians who had no involvement in rap said this, he would directly respond with sarcasm and diss, but this is Bian Lang!

Since rising from punk, he has tried almost all mainstream rock styles, and also set the tone for Chinese-style rock with the song "Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty".

It would be understandable if it were all within the scope of rock, but Bian Lang’s folk music creations are equally good!

I won’t talk about the distant past, but the videos that circulated before the New Year are “The Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk” and “Model Love Letter”, and they are now ranked second on the folk guitar cover chart of Bilibili!

There are also the symphonic arrangements made for Dili in "Between Fingers", as well as the recently released folk music version of "Swords Like Dreams" and the bel canto version of "Good Luck Comes"!

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense for Bian Lang to create a Chinese style rap song.

"Okay, sit down and have a drink. Come upstairs to see me tomorrow..."

……

Three days later, when the Rolling Stones got the accompaniment sheet of "Nunchucks", they started to feel confused.

Dayong, in particular, looked at the drum sheet that was a metal rhythm and asked directly, "Lang, are you recording the accompaniment for rap? Or are you playing traditional Chinese style new metal?"

Why do they say that? Because in this music score, they also saw parts for the erhu and gong!

And the piano solo needs to be taken care of by Hua Yan!

With this configuration, if you say it can be used as an accompaniment for rap, few people would believe it.

However, after Dili and Dayong played the prelude over and over again and discovered that the electric guitar riff was a backbeat, they felt that this could really be the accompaniment of a rap song.

As for Hei Lun, the process of writing songs with Bian Lang over the past three days was completely a process of constant self-denial.

The reason why he was excluded before was because the things he made were a little weird, and he looked down on other people's games, so...

But when it came to Bian Lang, he felt that those words that he had been so proud of before were just bullshit in his eyes!

Regarding his performance of this song, he felt that his only advantage was that his fast pronunciation was clearer than Bian Lang's.

He sang the rest of the parts by himself!

Especially the way the two 7-word lyrics are connected after the unprecedented beat, he thinks this is the flow that an OG should have!

But one advantage he has is that he refuses to admit defeat. Since Bian Lang has made it clear that he cannot sing this song himself, he is now the best candidate.

As long as he can finish this song and continue the style created by Bian Lang, he will be able to produce such a work on his own one day.

But as the rehearsal process progressed, Helun realized that this was a process for him to re-establish his understanding of the music system!

First of all, the accompaniment recording process was extremely tiring. Just for the drum part, Dayong practiced so much that he almost scratched his dreadlocks bald. In the end, he had to get Kong Liang over to complete Bian Lang's request.

Even someone as strong as Kong Liang couldn't help but complain after getting familiar with it: "Bian Lang, how can a third-rate drummer like you write such a drum sheet?"

The other is the piano solo part. If this song can be described as having both civil and military skills, the rest of the song is about tough warriors, and only this short piano solo plays the role of a scholar.

In the original arrangement of this song, this part was played by Jay Chou himself. I hope all musicians on the planet know that Jay Chou has a solid foundation in classical music piano playing, so Hua Yan, who started out by just touching the keyboard, could not achieve the effect that Bian Lang wanted no matter what he did.

Fortunately, the Rolling Stones family includes Su Kan, a keyboardist with a background in classical piano. They called her over to complete the recording of this section.

As for the erhu, it was performed by Old Wu, a versatile folk music player.

The entire recording process was completed by Liu Ziyang and Olaf in collaboration.

Except for Hei Lun, all the top lineups of Rolling Stone Music were out this time. With such a big commotion, Kou Yong didn't dare to leave, so he stayed in Chuncheng to practice singing with Hei Lun.

He was afraid that once the news leaked out, other rappers who were more mature than Helen in all aspects would try every means to grab the song.

But there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. It's just that the story changed its meaning as it was spread.

Whether people are in the circle or outside the circle, they all think that this is simply impossible.

Not to mention whether Bian Lang would try rap, even if he did, he would never collaborate with someone like Hei Lun.

Especially those guys in the rap circle who think they are the boss, they just start creating based on this.

"I have a preconceived notion that you have no talent. No matter how hard you study, you can only be envious. Even if Bian Lang likes you, so what? Why would he, a rock player, understand hip-hop? I just wrote something to you and you got stupid. Losers don't deserve to live in this land..."

Some entertainment marketing accounts even believed that this was Helun's company, and this was self-marketing. They said that Kou Yong was just spending money by relying on Dong Youbian's old boss status.

If it were in the past, He Lun would definitely write a song in response, but it is different now.

With the "Nunchucks" in his hand, he was waiting to master this unparalleled skill and then show these people who the loser is.

You don’t have to write songs, but you can’t help but express your attitude, so Hei Lun directly shouted on Weibo: “You guys are just pretending to be stupid. Do you have the right to question Bian Lang? Let me tell you, the things you are proud of now are all left over by others! Chinese style metal rap, this is a field you will never touch!”

After the concept of Chinese style metal rap was thrown out, those who didn't believe it thought it was even more ridiculous:

"Haha, did you tune out the Rolling Stones' 'Dream of the Tang Dynasty' and use it for your own use?"

"You're really bold. You're talking about Chinese style metal rock. Are you going to find some Rolling Stones accompaniment and start reciting 300 Tang poems?"

"It does sound a bit like that this time, but you let the Rolling Stones accompany you? How shameless do you really have?"

But because of this, some people really believe it.

Liu Xiaokui, who never mind getting into trouble, first scolded those rappers who were full of shit on the Internet, and then called Bian Lang to inquire about the situation: "Brother Lang, give me a date, when can it be on, I will go and pull it up!"

Bian Lang didn't expect Liu Xiaokui to be so sure. Of course, he wouldn't ask him directly: "Why do you trust me so much?"

"The Blueberry Music Festival, the date will be announced in the next few days, in early March!"

"Well, eh? I happened to be filming in southern Yunnan at that time. I'll come over to hang out with you then. Do you have any new songs coming up this time?"

There will definitely be new songs, and Bian Lang has already decided on it, but even if he tells Liu Xiaokui, he won’t be able to hear them in advance, so it would be in vain.

The Rolling Stones will not attend the Blueberry Music Festival if the theme is already clear. Bian Lang will attend with New Pants or Hedgehog, and he will sing "Fuxian Lake" for the folk music section, so he plans to perform it himself.

Since you want to take up a performance spot in your own name, you have to sing a few more songs.

"Don't ask me. You'll know when you get here. By the way, are you coming to southern Yunnan to shoot a movie or a TV series?"

"It's a TV series about the war of resistance against Japanese aggression. What do you think, Brother Lang? I'll ask the director to assign you a role?"

"Forget it. Asking me to act is just like asking you to sing. Don't torture the audience. I mainly want to ask about your schedule. If it's suitable, I would like to invite you to be a super fan of "Summer of the Band"..."

Hearing the words "super music fan", Liu Xiaokui was so scared that he almost dropped his phone.

"Brother Lang, you just said that asking me to sing is torturing the audience, so asking me to review the band is even more..."

"Ma Dong is a layman, and he is the main creator of the show, what influence does it have? Even Xun Ge'er has a deeper connection with the rock circle than him!"

Bian Lang muttered to himself, but said: "Music fans, I'm not asking you to be a mentor. This program has no mentors, only music fans! I'll ask the program team to send you specific information later. If you want to change your schedule, please consider it!"

Having said that, what is there for Liu Xiaokui to consider? Since he is not going to embarrass himself, what is there for him to consider?

"Okay, the schedule and everything, just move it around. Brother Lang, you chose me for your project, so that means you're giving me traffic!"

Bian Lang had already made up his mind about the candidates for several super music fans.

Niu Boyi is a part-time host, Liu Ziyang is a part-time professional knowledge commentator, Guo Sichu is responsible for balancing yin and yang, and Liu Xiaokui is responsible for making jokes and creating atmosphere. There is also a mobile position, and those in and out of the circle will take turns to show up depending on their schedule.

Now the planning has been almost completed. Once the lineup for the Blueberry Music Festival is finalized, Bian Lang will start preparing the songs for "Summer of the Band".

The Rolling Stones account for one-third of the bands participating in the show. It would be a waste if we don’t use this opportunity to increase the popularity of the original Earth’s classic rock songs!
