Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

After completely "awakening", Li Yiliang, whose tailoring skills were fully maxed out, once again met Zhu Wen, who almost made him retire from the circle, but the situation was not as tense as imagined.

On the contrary, after listening to Li Yiliang's song, Zhu Wen, the "Wang Gan Niang", felt that she had met the wonderful woman "Jin Lian"...

With Xiang Kun maneuvering in the middle, the two who still wanted to continue to use each other got back in touch.

Li Yiliang prepared this song for the competition and didn't intend to release it in advance.

The main reason is that they are not a professional music company, so recording is not very convenient.

But things became different after Zhu Wen intervened.

Mr. Turtle is going to perform at the Blueberry Music Festival. If the Faces can release the song before this date, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.

Zhu Wen has experience in these matters. He knows very well that many netizens who like to watch the fun basically don't care about the truth. They just like to watch people who are stronger than them being hammered, public figures' reputations being ruined, and so on.

"Yiliang, take the band to record the song tomorrow. You can use the production resources of Magic Disc as you like, as long as you can release this song before Haigui goes on stage.

Also, can you see which other songs of Bian Lang have room for improvement? "

Talking about this, Li Yiliang is no longer sleepy.

Ever since he sewed "Boys Don't Cry", he has been eyeing the songs that Bian Lang sings for others.

His idea was very clear. For songs like those written by Bian Lang for others to sing or which were not popular, he would start to study the arranged fragments and re-produce them.

For example, the prelude solo at the beginning of the bass in "Flying Bird" is a complete waste in Li Yiliang's opinion. This kind of melody should be reserved for the chorus of a classic song, instead of "Flying Bird" which is not popular with the audience.

Even now, although Li Yiliang has started working as a music tailor and is still trying to exploit Bian Lang, it does not stop him from complaining about Bian Lang.

Just like he felt that it was a complete waste of resources for Bian Lang to give "Boys Don't Cry" to Tu Ling and the others to sing, and they had to play reggae when there were so many other options.

In addition, people outside the circle just watched the amazing performance on the small broken station. Only those in the circle knew that Bian Lang was the most core person in this matter.

Although the show "Di Li" is only about 10 minutes long, which guitarist wouldn't be envious of the songs that appear in it?

Li Yiliang felt that if Bian Lang had been willing to share these songs with him, if not all of them, at least one third of them, things wouldn't have ended up like this.

So, when he was stitching Bian Lang's song, he actually felt that Bian Lang owed him. He used this unfounded psychological suggestion to smooth out the slight sense of guilt in his heart at the beginning.

The two hit it off and chatted for nearly three hours. Zhu Wen repeated to Li Yiliang what he had said to Tu Ling and the others: "You should know the song "Three Little Birds", right? You guys can sing it first. After it becomes popular, I will take care of the copyright issue!"

If it were the previous Li Yiliang, he would definitely think that this kind of thing was a fantasy, or an insult to his IQ and EQ, but it is completely different now. He wishes that Zhu Wen and Ou Lu, two guys with courage and capital, could stand up to him and the Face Band and let them use some good songs that have been forgotten by Bian Lang without any scruples.

"Well, Mr. Zhu, you are a wise man. I hope you and Mr. Ou can always support us..."

Zhu Wen patted his shoulder and said, "You are also a smart person. I will tell you directly that your previous relationship with Bian Lang will be the cornerstone of your future success if you use it well. The opportunities and resources here at Boss Ou are better than those at Magic Disc. You should follow him to expand your network. If you want to make a song, just tell me..."

While saying that, Zhu Wen was thinking in his heart: "If even one-third of the musicians under Magic Disc are as sensible as Li Yiliang, then Magic Disc will have no worries about its future."

Considering the speed and capriciousness with which Bian Lang releases songs, as long as they handle things well, they may not suffer any loss even if legal proceedings are taken in the end.

But the people under my command are... not even as good as those internet celebrities!

When Zhu Wen thought of the word "Internet celebrity", he suddenly felt that his whole mind was opened up.

Back then, they were under the banner of revitalizing Chinese rock, but in the end, they were just trying to fleece the poor. Now that the old guys want to stick to the original spirit of rock, why don't they change their mindset and consider market issues in order to make money?

The sudden emergence of the Rolling Stones did bring rock music into mainstream circles, but after all, there is still a high threshold for appreciation!

Some people may like Bian Lang’s songs just because they follow the trend and think a certain song is particularly to their liking.

In fact, Zhu Wen himself believes that the group of fans who can listen to all of Bian Lang’s songs does not account for even one-tenth of all the Rolling Stones’ fans.

But this does not prevent them from liking bands and this form of music involving live instrumental performances.

"If these old guys don't want to, then I can find new musicians to form an internet celebrity band. They don't need to have any works. They can just start covering the classics of the Rolling Stones..."

If Bian Lang knew about his plan, he might even give Zhu Wen some advice: "Let's name the band Huichundan, it's a good name! I can also write a song for you called "First Love"..."

"I look forward to meeting her every minute, waiting silently without complaint, I long to meet her every minute, and I am happy to meet her on the road for a few days..."

……

Back to Spring City, in addition to Coldplay, the new Rolling Stones' booth has already been lined up. Not only the bands and artists within the company, but also many first-line artists from other companies have come to make appointments with Olaf.

It’s not that Liu Ziyang is a bad person, but he has too many things to do now. Not counting the music festival, he is also needed for the recording of "Summer of the Band", so he directly told the public that he would not take any work for half a year.

He has already taken up residence at Fuxian Lake. Looking at the progress of the stage construction and the beautiful sunset over Fuxian Lake, he just feels that it would be a very good idea to waste the rest of his life in such a place.

But unfortunately, just as this thought came to his mind, a phone call interrupted his thoughts.

"Guo Sichu! You are a queen after all, can you please have some shame? Can you stop staring at me like this..." Liu Ziyang and Guo Sichu have been friends for many years, so they were not so serious when they spoke.

"Liu Ziyang, I'm suing you! You had already promised me this before you even came to report to Rolling Stone. I thought you had just changed jobs and still had to face a devil boss like Bian Lang, so I didn't rush you..."

"Why don't you ask Bian Lang to make it for you? He's definitely no worse than me when he's serious about it..."

Guo Sichu: "Isn't that nonsense? If I could invite him, why would I bother to pester you..."

Liu Ziyang: "There will be a way. I suggest you wait a while. You know Bian Lang is most afraid of owing favors, and..."

"Then can you arrange it for me?"

"Okay, no problem, but you have to keep it a secret. Please don't let it out. Bian Lang's song is so good. I have a feeling that this song will be played countless times every year in this month."

Guo Sichu had no doubt about Liu Ziyang's judgment on music: "Okay, send me the lyrics and demos, I'll practice first and give him a surprise at the music festival. I hope my reputation as a singing queen is still useful!"

"It definitely works! Your fans are not dead, they are just a little older and not as fanatical. Believe it or not, after doing that this time, Bian Lang will definitely be scolded to death by your fans."

"Well! Not bad!" Guo Sichu didn't have any announcements, so she, who had never waited for a stage at a music festival, decided to accept Liu Ziyang's proposal.

Whether it was a surprise for Bian Lang or not was secondary. The key was that she herself wanted to have such an experience.

……

Just as the Blueberry Music Festival was entering its countdown, Dong Youbian and Liu Yao went to report to the "Musicians" program team of Fruit TV. As for Xiang Kun's previous suggestion that he could find a way to get the Faces Band to go, it was eventually left unfinished.

The two had been on good terms before, so they weren't surprised to see each other at the scene.

It’s just that other musicians in the pop circle, when they see these two, will naturally have a feeling: “What are they doing here? They are either here to kill us or they are here to kill us all the way!”

These people are very familiar with the script process of variety shows, so they think that these two people who sing live every day are here either to collect money to take the blame, or to win the first or second place.

But who would have thought that at the group meeting before the recording, the director of Fruit Channel said directly: "Everyone, when we invited you earlier, we said in advance that there will be no audio editing this time. I hope everyone can take it seriously!"

After hearing the words "no audio editing", those from the pop music industry began to ask seriously: "How many times will we record it?"

"Passed in one try! The scores are voted by the public judges on the spot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone asked again: "What if there is an accident during the performance, there will be no re-recording?"

“Performance accidents are also part of the performance. I know that all teachers are used to presenting their best side to the audience, but have you ever thought that perhaps the audience has already become aesthetically fatigued?

It’s not that they can only accept the perfect personality of the teachers, but the teachers are too particular about it… We think that we should not make our own personality too sacred…”

This was said very politely, but some people were really not happy about it: "I have to be responsible to my fans and followers. I think it's better not to broadcast a program without any quality assurance!"

The program crew expected some people to leave, so they were not in a hurry at all. They had originally planned two sets of plans, and the loss of one person would only require a slight change in the rules!

Liu Yao, who had been silent the whole time, started chatting with Dong Youbian: "Youbian, we are not afraid of anyone at the scene, but I don't know how the audience at the Fruit Channel will choose?"

"I really don't know about this. I have never participated in this kind of competitive music variety show before. If we just look at the live performance, folk music should be at a disadvantage."

Dong Youbian's analysis is good. The audience vote has a lot to do with the atmosphere of the scene. Those who are more explosive and sing high notes often get more recognition from the audience.

As for Dong Youbian, who sings folk songs, if he only uses his own songs, he will probably end up with two rounds of boxed lunches.

"That's not necessarily true. I think folk songs still have the power to touch people's hearts. Forget about it for the first show. Just go ahead and sing "The Age of Flying White Clothes" to test the waters first!"

"kindness……"

After the meeting, the director and program planner Lao Jiang reported back: "There is still no movement from Liu Yao. I think it would be easier to start with Dong You."

"No, I think Dong Youbian's purpose this time is not simple. On the contrary, Liu Yao is still the one who has rock music in her heart, which makes it easier for her to convince Bian Lang. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. Let's record four episodes first and then wait for the schedule of the Rolling Stone band variety show!"

"Okay, if both sides can do it, that would be the best!"

"It's not impossible. Bian Lang is not a stone. His band is called the Rolling Stones, which proves that he is willing to have a smooth side. So if we put in more effort, who knows, Bian Lang will jump out to help us when the time comes!"

……

While Lao Jiang was still daydreaming, Guo Sichu had already arrived at Fuxian Lake.

Tomorrow is the rehearsal, because Bian Lang sings the second to last on the first day, and the rehearsal time is also later in the order. Liu Ziyang's plan is to arrange her to participate in the rehearsal as a chorus, and as for how to do it on the day, it depends on the cooperation of the two.

Although it was already March, it was still quite cold by the lake in the wind at night. The second shift was finally delayed until one o'clock in the morning, so Guo Sichu, who was wrapped in a down jacket and a woolen hat, was not discovered by others at all.

In addition, Liu Ziyang, who was cheating backstage, turned off her microphone, so even if she started singing, she would not be exposed in front of Bian Lang.

In just half an hour, the singer finished the rehearsal as a chorus member.

Before this, she only got the song that Liu Ziyang gave her for the finale, and she didn't know what other songs Bian Lang would sing.

After listening to the six folk songs prepared by Bian Lang, she felt more and more that Bian Lang should not be a little monster of this era: "If you were 6 years earlier, in the Chinese music scene that was not yet lonely, perhaps you would have achieved greater success!"

The reason why Guo Sichu felt so was largely because she didn't know how to describe the music preferences of today's young audiences.

In the past, when people commented on the quality of a song, the hard indicator of “good to listen to” was still recognized by everyone.

But for today's young audiences, the attribute of a song being good is replaced by many things about the singer that have nothing to do with music.

This is why she is becoming more and more Buddhist, but she really likes singing. She hopes that the appearance of Bian Lang can break the poison that capital has cast on the audience! Let the aesthetics of music return to the correct track it should have been! Only then will she, Guo Sichu, find the music scene interesting...
