Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 565: Willful Bian Lang

Lao Luo did not come to the scene today, but he and Duan Yuntao and several other people from the music conservatory made an appointment to watch the live broadcast together at Duan Yuntao's house.

After listening to He Lei singing the last few lines, Duan Yuntao said directly to Lao Luo: "Lao Luo, arrange for the students you are currently teaching in a few days. I will give them a test!"

"Humph, if you want to defeat your own organization, why do you come to disrupt my normal teaching..."

Lao Luo himself is actually quite puzzled, because among the students he taught, there are indeed a few who can bring him honor in their profession.

But the most famous one now is Bian Lang, whose talent and attainments in music need no further explanation. Even He Lei, who he doesn't care much about, now seems to have a stronger talent in music than his main profession of sculpture.

This made him wonder: "Were these guys transferred here as professionals?"

He couldn't remember anything about this happening more than 10 years ago, but he planned to take action on this matter on Monday.

Duan Yuntao also had this idea, but he didn't want to look at the past ones. He only wanted to look at those who were still studying in the past two years. As for those who were admitted last year, he didn't dare to think about it. The scores they got at that time were not something that their music conservatory could achieve.

As for the younger students from Yunnan Art Academy below the stage, they were all envious of He Lei, their upper bunk brother, who was not only written into a song by Bian Lang, but also had the opportunity to perform on the same stage with Bian Lang at a music festival.

Min Min and the members of Seagull Band were not only excited, but also a little proud!

After all, this song was first released in their live broadcast room, and now it is a must-sing song when they sing every night. Although it is a bit awkward for a girl to sing this song, it still attracts many fans to stop and Internet celebrities to check in.

However, the arrangement they came up with on their own is quite different from tonight's version with strings added.

In the interlude, Bian Lang added a cello and violin ensemble. According to Min Min's own evaluation, the appearance of these two instruments "gives the song a sense of age."

But it would be difficult for them to follow suit. Liu Jiayun and Tao Xingyue's playing skills are at the level of the band's top contenders. After communicating and integrating with musicians of various styles in the past few months at Rolling Stone, the classical flavor in their playing has been able to be controlled freely.

It won’t make people feel that it is not well-matched with the song itself, or that there is a problem with the coordination with other people.

In fact, this combination of five people is the most classical one among the current members of the Rolling Stones. I don’t know what kind of tricks this team can come up with in the future.

After bidding farewell to "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk", Bian Lang stood up and sat back on the stool on the stage.

Amid everyone's great anticipation, he finally uttered the three words "Fuxian Lake".

Many leaders who came here specially were waiting for this moment. Although they had heard about it before, it was not the official version after all, and they all wanted to know what this official version would look like.

Sitting back on the high stool, Bian Lang returned to the original spot under the lights. Wearing a white shirt and blue pants, he looked like a college student, with the six-string Ovation draped over his legs.

The moment Guo Li pressed the shutter button, he felt that this photo could be used directly as a promotional image for Ovation.

He Lei, who had already returned to the quarantine area, picked up his son again. His son pointed at Bian Lang and asked, "Dad, can I learn to play guitar with that uncle in the future?"

"Yes, I can tell him whenever you want to learn."

This time, He Lei came here not only to listen to the live performance, but also with other tasks.

After communicating with Ai Hao, we were able to arrange a performance on the day of the Water Splashing Festival, but as the Dai New Year, the locals take it very seriously.

So He Lei made an appointment with the leader of the Propaganda Department to come to the scene of the music festival tomorrow to see the atmosphere. If it can be confirmed, he will also confirm this matter with Ai Hao and Rolling Stone.

In his opinion, this was just a formality. How could there be anything that his brother couldn't handle?

Which local leader would not like someone like Bian Lang, who can always leave a song wherever he goes?

Su Kan played a beautiful piano prelude, and accompanied by the early spring evening breeze, Bian Lang began to sing: "What kind of night is this, making people sad and nostalgic, you said to remember this moment, even if we are separated from each other..."

Compared with the version sung by Bian Lang himself that was previously circulated on the Internet, the pure piano prelude gives people a more magnificent and comfortable feeling.

Coupled with the lake view that can be seen by looking up, the audience present basically had the same thought: "This song is so beautiful and nice to listen to."

Compared with the music during the Shuimu Nianhua period, the music after Li Jian went solo has undergone a complete transformation.

Especially in terms of musical performance, the style is completely different from that of Boss Lu and his team.

Boss Lu said that they separated at that time because of different musical concepts, but in fact, in Bian Lang's opinion, it was Old Li by the Baiyagar Lake who looked down on Boss Lu who could not live without "you" for his whole life.

It's just hard for Liao Jie. His reputation is getting worse and worse as he keeps selling greasy food on various shows along with Boss Lu.

Bian Lang remembered that after Li Jian's "Legend" became popular, he also appeared on the Voice of China as a mentor. Meanwhile, Boss Lu and Liao Jie, who performed at the same time, had a commercial performance in a shopping mall, but the fans who came specially for the show were disappointed because of the performance fee issue.

"How can such a moving wish be blown away? The autumn wind sweeps over the lake, leaving ripples in my heart..."

The reason why Bian Lang is obsessed with the use of string music in folk songs is actually closely related to a performance in which Li Jian once collaborated with a symphony orchestra.

At the performance of this song Fuxian Lake, in addition to the piano, there was also a harp...

There was no need to copy the original version in this situation. After the air beat, Tao Xingyue played a long love song on the violin. After blending with Su Kan's piano, it paved the way for enough emotions for Bian Lang's singing.

"It is so difficult for us to love, hate and part. The moment we turn around and leave, it is the end of the world..."

"You said this moment, right at this moment, we..."

The chorus that followed, under the "leadership" of Guo Sichu, stretched out the three words "we ah" very long, with different timbres and pitches blending together, and the sound could be heard far away in this night.

The guests from the hotel next door who were not there for this purpose had kept their windows closed so as not to be disturbed.

But now that this soothing tenderness has appeared, many guests simply open the windows and start enjoying it for free.

Some even went to the hotel staff to inquire about ticket purchases for tomorrow's music festival.

The response I got was: “Sold out!”

After listening to the song, several leaders praised it highly. The special funds from the Culture and Tourism Bureau have already been allocated, and they will reward the Rolling Stones with the money after Bian Lang officially releases the song.

Given the influence of the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang today, one can imagine how much traffic this song will bring to Fuxian Lake in the future.

And they believe that Bian Lang will definitely give the copyright to singers performing in Fuxian Lake area for use, just like he did with "Distant Guests Please Stay".

This bonus can be regarded as a little compensation to Bian Lang.

The interlude was a duet played by the violin and cello in turn. Although the effect was not as flawless as it was in the concert hall in this open sound field, the fans at the scene had no regrets when they could hear this effect at the open air music festival.

Many musicians in the audience were sighing: "Although it is a sub-branded music festival of the Rolling Stones, the equipment is really a bit vague!"

Olaf, who was monitoring the whole process, said to Liu Ziyang directly: "This arrangement really has the feeling of those European classical music masters. It would be great if he could release an album like this."

Liu Ziyang nodded without answering. He was now considered to be someone who was relatively familiar with the Bianlang music model.

Once the first song of a certain style is released, it will definitely be followed by at least one album, it just depends on when it will be released.

Of course he would not tell Olaf about this discovery, as he had his own plans.

Listening to this interlude, Bian Lang, who had his hands free for a rare moment, was recalling things about Li Jian.

Bian Lang couldn't remember when or where he heard Li Jian sing Chyi Chin's "Flower Festival" by himself, and then the image of Joey Wong popped up in his mind unconsciously...

After this interlude ended, the guitar, which had served as a mascot for half the song, was finally played by Bian Lang.

At the same time, a song began to sing: "What kind of night is this, making people sad and nostalgic, you said to remember this moment, even if we are separated from each other from now on..."

This faint sense of sadness began to spread in the scene under the careful arrangement of Bian Lang and his companions.

At this moment, the fans standing in the front also found a place to sit down.

It’s not that they can’t stand, but it feels a bit inappropriate to stand and listen to this song.

Because of Bian Lang on the stage, I felt like I was possessed by Li Jian at this moment.

He is no longer as unstoppable as when he sang rock, but has more of the elegance and composure of an old folk singer who has experienced a lot.

If it were someone else, some people might feel that the sense of disconnection was a bit too strong.

But when this happened to Bian Lang, no one thought it was wrong.

After all, this is how he came to be, alternating between rock and folk music.

At this moment, countless musicians in the audience felt that Bian Lang was a blind box gift package sent by God to the Chinese music scene, and it was the kind that could never be opened.

"How can such a moving wish be blown away? The autumn wind sweeps over the lake, leaving ripples in our hearts. How difficult it is for us who love, hate and part..."

"The moment you turn around and leave is the end of the world... You said this moment, this moment, is forever...

Lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu…

La la la la la la la la la la la la la…”

In these two singing passages, Su Kan and the other three classical musicians all contributed their highest performance standards, even though there was only a piano and two violins, one large and one small.

But the momentum presented already has the feeling of a symphony. If it were accompanied by an orchestra, the effect would definitely be more shocking.

The three girls who used to play classical music thought so, as did Olaf and Liu Ziyang. Since the arrangement has come to this point, why not just go straight to a perfect version!

Bian Lang certainly thought so too. The original version of this 40-second chant was accompanied by a full orchestra. Bian Lang himself probably thought that it was because of this part that the song was nominated for the Best Arrangement Award at the Golden Melody Awards the following year.

In the past, it was not easy to find a symphony orchestra to provide accompaniment.

But today, as long as the Rolling Stones open their mouths, the school orchestras of Yunnan Art Institute and Xinghai University are always on standby.

I think those mature commercial orchestras would definitely not mind taking such a job.

In this atmosphere, the four people in the harmony section also showed their best skills.

Guo Sichu even added the gullet sound that she rarely used at the scene. She felt that even if her voice exposed her, it didn't matter. Anyway, Liu Ziyang had already arranged something for her, and she had to go on even if she was recognized by Bian Lang.

With the five different high and low voices including Bian Lang, it feels like an infinite loop of stereo surround sound has been turned on at the scene. Many people just closed their eyes, hoping that this part will never end and can be looped forever.

But this was impossible. After the singing ended, all the musicians on the stage were silent for a beat, leaving only the piano accompaniment and Bian Lang's singing: "In the blink of an eye, the sky is already dawning. I don't know where I went last night. The water of Fuxian Lake is rippling, but no one is sad anymore..."

As the piano's final note seemed to be about to dissipate at any moment, a music fan exclaimed: "This has already surpassed the scope of a musician. I think at this moment, Bian Lang should be described as an artist!"

But at this moment, a somewhat willful thought clamored in Bian Lang's mind.

Because the image of Wang Zuxian in her youth that he just remembered started to revolve in his mind again...

At this moment, Bian Lang grabbed the guitar that he had let go of, and after a strum without any warning, he played the D5 chord and sang softly:

"Are you unwilling to stay with me? Are you going to leave once spring is over?"

After hearing this, all the workers in the venue were stunned!

Liu Ziyang was stunned for half a second, then quickly informed Dayong through the intercom:

"Use the cajon, just follow the rhythm! Don't drag..."

"Su Kan, if there is a second verse, you should follow it at that time, C key, chord 3231..."

"Cello, it depends on the situation. If there is an interlude, you should follow the chord progression of the piano!"

Given Liu Ziyang's knowledge of the Rolling Stones' music library, he was 100% sure that he had never seen this song before.

This must have been something Bian Lang came up with on a whim!

I guess in today’s Chinese music scene, only Bian Lang dares to behave so willfully.

When Kou Yong sang the first line of the lyrics, he felt something was wrong. When the second line came out, there were only three words in his mind: Why?

"Only the flowers of sincerity can bloom, but you want to fly away like the migratory birds. Stay, stay..."

Hearing this, Chen Shuting frowned a little. Although she didn't say it directly, the four words "how can he have such virtue and ability" had already been labeled on Dong Youbian by her.
