Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Turning our attention back to the stage, the musicians of the Hedgehog band did not hide behind the black cloth to tune the music and wait for the transition as usual.

Instead, they started improvising under the guidance of Bian Lang and waited for the fans to move towards the stage.

It was at this moment that Bian Lang suddenly remembered Dong Youbian who was participating in a musician competition.

Bian Lang was aware of the recording time over there, and this was about the time she was preparing to go on stage.

For this first elimination round, Dong Youbian chose the song "29" that Bian Lang gave her on her birthday last year. This was originally a very safe choice, and there was basically no possibility of any other problems.

However, after two rehearsals, because the accompaniment could not restore Bian Lang's original arrangement, the music director discussed the adaptation of the song with Dong Youbian.

But Dong Youbian himself was not satisfied after revising it twice. The version revised by the music director added string music, and forcibly changed a very powerful song into a more lyrical tune.

But the music director felt that it was good enough and there was no need to be picky. If the recording time was delayed, it would be difficult for everyone.

In these aspects, Dong Youbian is not someone who will accept things passively. What is more important is that Bian Lang's work is a birthday gift to her. She will not allow others to change it at will and wants her to perform it herself.

Chen Manman communicated with the director several times but there was no substantial change, and the director didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, Dong Youbian was the second to last to appear today and he would probably appear very late, so she thought she would be able to figure it out by now.

"Isn't this bullying by the director team? The arrangements for the songs have been submitted long ago. If you had told us earlier that the musicians here were not good enough, we would have brought our own band. What should we do now?" Chen Manman and Dong Youbian were of the same mind, so it was naturally impossible for her to persuade Dong Youbian to just give up.

Moreover, she herself felt that the revised version was so far away from the original that if it was released like this, it would simply ruin the song.

Seeing that Dong Youbian didn't say anything, she added: "I'll go and discuss with Sister Liu Yao to see if I can borrow someone..."

"Don't bother them. The lead guitar in this song has too many details in its tone. It's not something that can be practiced and performed on stage in a short time."

"What should we do? Ask Sister Chen?"

"What's the use? We only have one song left to go. I'll withdraw..."

Hearing these resolute and helpless words, Chen Manman's heart skipped a beat. She knew too well how important this opportunity was to Dong Youbian.

If he could get a good result in the end, it would somewhat fill the gap between the two of them, and Dong Youbian might not be so obsessed with going abroad.

But if he sang a bad version, Dong Youbian would not be happy even if he could advance to the next round.

What's more, it would be difficult for Dong Youbian to perform well if he sang under such circumstances.

However, she still wanted to try her best to help Dong Youbian, so she called Chen Shuting.

Chen Shuting was at the control center at the time. When she heard the news, she asked Liu Ziyang directly, "Do you know the music director of The Music Man?"

"What's wrong? What does this have to do with us?"

After Chen Shuting quickly explained the situation, Liu Ziyang laughed and said, "Before, they said they wanted to create the ceiling of domestic music variety shows. If they find such a stubborn person to be the music director, what ceiling are they talking about? The arrangement of "29" is not complicated, but there are too many small details. If the guitarist is familiar with the song one or two days in advance, how could he not play it well?

That guy just didn't want to use the original version, he wanted to highlight his presence! But he had this idea of ​​targeting us Rolling Stones, is he out of his mind? "

Chen Shuting did not hang up the phone and turned on the speakerphone, so Chen Manman could hear every word Liu Ziyang said clearly.

From the content and tone of Liu Ziyang's words, Chen Manman felt that the situation seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

Then, Lao Jiang, who was monitoring the program recording at Fruit Channel, received a call from Chen Shuting. After a moment of hesitation, Lao Jiang replied, "Wait for two minutes for me to give you an answer."

Then he picked up the intercom and called the director on the other side. After hearing what Lao Jiang said, the director showed an extremely complicated expression on his face.

What Lao Jiang told him was of great benefit to both the program and Dong Youbian. But doing so would be like offending the music director.

"Forget it. I won't be held responsible for this. Let Lao Jiang and the Rolling Stones bear the consequences!" After figuring this out, he used the intercom to inform the host, Lao Jiang, and all the staff involved.

Liu Ziyang's voice also rang out in Bian Lang's headset: "Bian Lang, we will start the show with the accompaniment of "29" and connect with the variety show on Fruit Channel."

Bian Lang was stunned at first, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he roughly guessed what had happened.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he made an OK gesture to the console without hesitation, then stopped playing the guitar and said to the audience who had not yet gathered in the audience: "There was a small problem at the last minute, so we have to delay everyone's time to play one more song with us today."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, combined with Bian Lang's actions on the stage just now, the hearts of the people in the audience couldn't help but skip a beat, thinking that the next performance was going to be ruined.

The words of complaint were already on the tip of his tongue, but he was forced to hold them back by what Bian Lang said next.

Then they all shouted in unison: "Okay!"

Some fans who had already reached the front line of the stage even shouted out, "We can sing all night long."

After hearing the most pointed sentence above, Bian Lang said jokingly, "There is no overtime pay...", and then went to discuss it with his friends.

When "29" was premiered, Bian Lang collaborated with Dong Youbian's previous band, but this did not prevent the musicians within the Rolling Stones from privately practicing their respective instrumental parts later.

Because they all know that the casual Bian Lang would want to play at any time, especially those led by Bian Lang.

So now when it comes to cooperating with the remote accompaniment over there, no one feels embarrassed at all.

Only Guo Sichu, who was temporarily recruited, asked with some confusion: "What should I do?"

"Have you heard this song?"

Bian Lang was not sure either. After all, this was the song he sang at Dong Youbian’s birthday party and it was not released later. He only sang it once at the Rolling Stone Music Festival hosted by Jin Wei Tianhai.

Who knew that Guo Sichu undid her high ponytail and joked, "If someone sang a song to wish me to be cool as the wind and wild as a dog when I was 29, I would marry them on the spot!"

Bian Lang didn't respond to this and turned the topic back to the performance: "Then could you please sing for me, Queen?"

“Hey! It’s an honor to have Bian Lang accompany me!”

Then Bian Lang used the intercom of the staff on stage to ask Liu Ziyang: "Is there any problem with the remote accompaniment?"

"What kind of problem can there be? Transmission technology is so advanced nowadays. As long as the dispatching on both sides is well coordinated, there will be no problem. Besides, it's a recorded broadcast over there, so even if something goes wrong, it won't matter."

"Okay then, let Guo Sichu sing here, and then we can remove her vocal track..."

When Liu Ziyang heard this idea, he felt that what he had done this time was really amazing. This kind of music festival live and variety show recording at the same time to sing a song, especially let Guo Sichu and Dong Youbian to do it, probably won't happen again in this life.

As for the live performance of "The Music Man", the music director Chen Jianju quit.

If the Rolling Stones had personally provided the accompaniment, he would have had nothing to say and would have just cooperated as required. However, this type of remote accompaniment was, after all, a blatant humiliation to him as the music director.

But he didn't mention himself at all in his angry words, all he said was his worry about the show: "If this is the case, the show will be completely messed up, it's unfair to other musicians! If someone asks the National Symphony Orchestra to accompany them remotely, wouldn't that mean they will definitely win?"

Facing Chen Jianju's question, Lao Jiang, who had already arrived at the scene to coordinate, said calmly: "Mr. Chen, my program team respects and trusts you very much. But the purpose of our program team is to bring the best stage to the audience. I believe that the cooperation from the Rolling Stones will definitely be what the audience wants to see, and this will also be an indelible classic scene in the history of our program and even in the history of Chinese variety shows!"

After being accused of such a big crime, Chen Jianju knew that he could not change anything, but he still sneered: "After recording this scene, should we discuss the details of the cooperation again?"

Who is Fruit Channel? They are the most powerful among the satellite TV stations except CCTV. Apart from the audience, they can only scold them. No matter who in the circle wants to sing against them, they will definitely not be tolerated.

Lao Jiang didn't sneer, but replied calmly: "Okay!"

The host Wang Han next to him was calm. His idea was basically the same as Lao Jiang's. This kind of super interaction between the music festival and the variety show, as long as it doesn't reach the point where it is unbearable to watch, is the rhythm of creating classics.

This is a very good exposure opportunity for both the program and the singers. The key is that in this way, the fans at the Blueberry Music Festival will naturally become the promotional force for the program. It would be strange if Lao Jiang didn't agree!

"These Taiwanese are just too self-righteous. Their original level is just a backup, but they still act so high and mighty. Why bother..."

In a flash, he had even thought of the words for the host: "Dear audience members, you will witness the latest and most difficult challenge in the history of our Chinese music and variety shows with Dong Youbian. Are you ready?"

Dong Youbian, who learned the final result of the matter at this time, was surprised and was trying hard to adjust his emotions to ensure that he could perform stably when he went on stage.

Although it seems to be the same as singing along with the accompaniment, she is very clear about the difference. If the two sides don't cooperate well, it will be a car accident!

After all, there was no rehearsal, so both sides could only rely on pure tacit understanding.

She knew that there would be no problem with Bian Lang and his team, and the only problem would be hers. But she believed in Bian Lang, and believed that he would perform according to the most classic version in her mind.

The signal source transmission between satellite TV stations is the most stable. At the music festival, after receiving the news from here, You Xuefeng immediately contacted the Fruit TV Station.

He himself felt that if this was accomplished, it would be a milestone. Unfortunately, his station's foundation was too poor, so he could only watch as the first prize was taken away by the fruit station.

Although he felt a little unwilling, he was not like Chen Jianju, who was still thinking about how to coordinate with both sides without disclosing anything and present this scene perfectly.

After a few minutes, the communication between the two sides was completed, and all the cooperation work was ready. After the signal was connected, the two sides began to interact.

On the "Musician" side, after the host Wang Han finished expressing the emotions, amid the cheers and excitement of the audience, they were all waiting for the signal to come from the music festival.

At the scene, a minute ago, Bian Lang also began to prepare the audience for the mood: "Music fans in the audience, how many of you are fans of Dong Youbian?"

The fans who were still guessing what song Bian Lang would add were stunned by the question without any context.

But that didn't stop them from joining in the fun with Dong Youbian's fans and shouting!

Seeing that the fans' reactions were good, Bian Lang continued, "She is currently recording a music variety show on Fruit Channel and needs our help. How about we cheer her on together?"

Although they still didn't quite understand what was going on, the fans who were eager to watch the fun released their greatest enthusiasm. Anyway, they believed that Bian Lang would never let them down.

"Because of some special reasons at the scene over there, we will accompany her here. All the friends at the scene, I hope everyone can become Dong Youbian's chorus, okay?"

Now, music fans finally figured out what was going on.

Some quick-witted people even blurted out: "Isn't it just smashing up a live band's venue? This is what we Rolling Stones are good at!"

After receiving enthusiastic responses from the fans, Bian Lang continued: “Thank you everyone, let’s be cool as the wind, wild as dogs, and rush into the dim lights…”

This line of lyrics instantly ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene.

Well, for many of Bian Lang’s fans, they are very much looking forward to hearing a live version of this song which has not been released yet.

After all, who at that reckless age doesn’t want to be as cool as the wind and as wild as a dog?

A moment later, as the signals from both sides were connected, the live images of the other side appeared on the big screens on both stages.

Looking down from the music festival stage and seeing Bian Lang and tens of thousands of people in the audience greeting him, Dong Youbian couldn't stop his tears from flowing!
