Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 681 A ray of light in the ordinary

After hearing Coldplay's song selection, the fans applauded even more enthusiastically.

It's also a game that doesn't want to just get by, but if we compare Joystick and Coldplay, even if they really fight, it's hard to say who will win.

Niu Boyi, who was well prepared, announced that the program would be suspended for one hour to give fans a chance to eat and rest, and also to give the four bands some time to prepare.

They all have to sing their own signature songs, so the musicians don't need to prepare much, but they do need to communicate and tune with the tuning team again.

Anyway, everything was clear. When the four bands met backstage and talked about the songs they were going to play, Li Hao laughed, "How come they are so in sync? No one is convinced by the previous arrangement of others. They want to let the fans compare, right?"

"Li Hao, you haven't even drunk the wine yet, why are you already confused? These are all songs written by Bian Lang himself, is it necessary? Don't everyone just want the fans to enjoy the songs all at once?" Huang Kai was not going to tolerate Li Hao. Anyway, he had quarreled with this guy a lot when he was in BJ!

"Kaizi, you are boring now..."

"What's the matter? Do you think you're going to lose to Coldplay? How about you guys sing the song that Bian Lang wrote for you again!"

Li Hao was not fooled and said with a smile: "Don't try to trick me. Coldplay wants to compete with us because they want to listen to our original English songs. How can we compare them with Bian Lang's songs? We are just beating ourselves up..."

After saying this, a bunch of people started to pester Olaf to prepare for the audition.

According to the order, the four bands Coldplay took the lead, followed by Hedgehog, which was in line with everyone's expectations.

Just as Bian Lang and the others finished tuning the music, Xia Yuxi, who had just gone out to eat something quick, came in.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Bian Lang approached him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Yuxi did not hide it: "Looking at the hedgehog's scene, I really want to back out!"

"It's okay. If you think it's not possible, I can find someone else. No force..." After reconciling their past grudges, the two of them had long forgotten the unpleasantness from the previous show, and now they chatted with a bit of the feeling of friends.

"I'm just talking, giving up without trying to see if it works is not my style!"

"so what?"

"From now on, can I stay with you all?" Xia Yuxi's answer was something Bian Lang had never expected.

According to Bian Lang's idea, after Le Xia is finished recording, Xia Yuxi will be allowed to take over the lead singer position and rehearse and then record the album. At most, during the tour, Bian Lang will perform a handover ceremony in the first show.

I didn't expect Xia Yuxi to be so proactive.

"Okay, let me think about it. Ding Ding, come here!"

After calling Ding Ding over, Bian Lang arranged: "From now on, you will be the captain of Hedgehog for the time being. Apart from participating in the rehearsal of "Summer of the Band", you can ask Xia Yuxi for other matters."

When Ding Ding heard that the position of Hedgehog's captain was handed over to her, she was a little scared: "No, Brother Lang, let's wait until the Summer of the Band is over. Won't the Summer of the Band still have a tour by then?"

Bian Lang knew that Ding Ding didn't want to be the leader, but simply didn't want Hedgehog to change the lead singer. Although Bian Lang's decision could not be changed, her mentality was to delay it for as long as possible.

"Yeah, Brother Lang, let's wait until this is over..." Tong Qi also joined in.

But Bian Lang was unyielding: "Just do as I say. You two stop being so stubborn. If I continue to take on both sides, it won't be good for you and Hedgehog. If the band doesn't go on tour, what's the point!"

Seeing that Bian Lang refused to give in, Ding Ding could only say in a listless voice: "Okay, then you can add him to the group!"

Xia Yuxi knew that it would take some time for these rock musicians to completely accept him, and he also needed to completely transform himself into a rock talent.

"Then I'll ask you to take good care of me from now on!"

Huang Kai, however, was able to see it clearly and patted Xia Yuxi on the shoulder, saying, "I can't believe it. After causing such a mess on the previous variety show, we are now teammates!"

Xia Yuxi was just not familiar with him, otherwise she would definitely give him a harsh reply: "You even betrayed the magic disc directly, I am being very gentle!"

After they chatted for a while, a staff member came to notify them to prepare the stage. Xia Yuxi said goodbye to them and went to the front to be an ordinary fan.

After everyone gathered, Niu Bo didn't waste any time and directly announced the start of the game.

As the original singer of "Yellow", Coldplay performed this time with the mentality of saving their best stage and not caring about winning or losing. They were naturally visibly relaxed!

After listening to "Meteor" and then "Yellow", today's music fans are undoubtedly happy. This opportunity is what Liu Ziyang said in his comments later: "Many of us here may only encounter this kind of opportunity once in our lifetime. Let's give applause to Coldplay! Thank you for your pursuit and love of music!"

Joystick's performance was equally eye-catching. Their original songs have a history of more than 10 years. Rock fans who have heard them couldn't help but sigh: "Thanks to Bian Lang and "Summer of the Band", otherwise I would never have thought that I would be able to see such a good performance by Joystick."

If Li Hao saw this, Bian Lang guaranteed that he would turn into a crybaby again!

Li Hao is now standing on the stage with Coldplay waiting for the result. He is very conflicted. He doesn't want to lose, but he also doesn't want Coldplay to leave. In these two brief exchanges, he still learned a lot from them.

In the final voting results, Coldplay won with a narrow advantage of 5 votes!

Faced with the result that the two bands went into the next round together, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and hugged Chris.

With over a thousand people voting, and without any backstage manipulation, a five-vote difference is no different from a tie. Li Hao, Tian Yuan and the others could accept this kind of loss.

When they got to the stage at Washe, the five of them felt that they had made a big profit this time and regarded it as their last time on stage.

Originally, if there were no fans buying tickets for the first game and Hedgehog was sent to play a tiebreaker, they would have already left, so choosing Hedgehog for a PK this time can be considered a dream come true.

What they brought out was the band's most popular masterpiece. Although it was only sung among a small group of fans during their tour in Guangxi Province, its quality was not low.

The fact that they were ranked second among the eliminated bands proves that everyone still recognizes them.

Listening to their music, some of the veteran fans of both dynasties were discussing:

"Do you want to trick the hedgehog again later? They won't leave even if you lose, right?"

"This isn't good! The previous incident was ridiculous enough, and the beneficiaries both times were all Washe. This is also unfair to them!"

After hearing this, Xiao Han and the others all shook their heads in protest: "No, you can do whatever you want, we don't care!"

As for the 100,000 hippies, none of them had such thoughts. If Hedgehog took the initiative to release the money later, then they would not be lenient, and they would not give Bian Lang face when they scolded him online.

But if the hedgehog performs normally, they will not vote against their conscience.

The discussion got louder, and those in the front circle started asking, "What's going on? Is this a script?"

Although Lao Jiang was not in the last game, he had heard about the situation from Tian Xiao and explained immediately: "In the last game, the fans took advantage of a loophole in the competition rules and voted Hedgehog into the play-offs. They just wanted to hear two more songs!"

After hearing this explanation, everyone in the circle was impressed!

Those who make these programs are thinking: "Please give me a carload of these viewers who can create their own highlights for the program!"

As for singers and stars, they are also thinking: "It is such a blessing to have such lovely fans!"

But no matter what, they will not cooperate.

After the performance, Washe had no more psychological burden and waited to watch Hedgehog's performance. Since Hedgehog was waiting in the preparation room, the fans at the scene didn't know what songs they were going to sing, so when the name of "Daydream Blue" appeared on the big screen, the exclamation seemed to blow the roof off the Lexia Pavilion.

As for Lao Jiang and other program developers, they are all wondering if this is a script. Others just think it sounds good, but those of us who are program planners can better understand how much popularity and traffic this "script" can bring to the program in every aspect of marketing.

Even if he were to host a music variety show, he probably wouldn't dare to do this. It's not difficult to have the original singer and the cover singer on the same stage, but the difficult part is that there is still a vote after the adaptation. According to the Chinese people's usual introverted and courteous character core, this kind of scene is too embarrassing no matter who wins or loses.

It is so difficult for the program crew to keep the level of performance fair!

And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the program team is afraid that the fans will erupt into a large-scale public opinion. After all, the program is for fans to watch. If the two sides fight and the public opinion escalates, it is possible that the program will be suspended!

But "Summer of the Band" and the rock circle don't have these concerns!

First of all, rock music is not something that is reserved. Secondly, fans are basically against the work, not the person. Before recording, Lao Jiang asked Pan Jianhu a question: "If a band does not perform well live, how will the fans treat it? Will the program record another live performance?"

At that time, Pan Jianhu's answer was: "Even if it's the Rolling Stones on stage, the fans will still boo if they sing out of tune! It's impossible to re-record. Rock music is what it is. If all performances can't be as precise as the records, then what's the point of coming to the live show! Just listen to the records at home!"

"Will the sound editing be processed in post-production?"

"It all depends on the final sound recording. But at most we can deal with the noise and remove some ambient sounds that are not allowed to appear according to regulations."

"Even at a major car accident scene, you won't make up for it?"

"What's there to make up for? This is rock 'n' roll! Don't be fooled by how steady Bian Lang is on stage. He made a fool of himself a lot during rehearsals backstage!"

What else can he say in the face of this market environment? If these situations appear in his program, regardless of whether the audience will accept it or not, the people in the station will not give you a good face.

"That's great! This project is really a variety show, except that its audience is too narrow!"

Lao Jiang is actually still conservative. In fact, apart from what happens on stage, the words and deeds of a group of rock musicians behind the scenes are the real explosive points. If the materials of cursing in person, drinking, sleeping, quarreling, and bragging in the viewing room were put on his show, he would not dare to imagine that these would be recorded.

"Youth is a green age. I know there will be no color in tomorrow..."

Bian Lang’s singing brought him back to reality. Just like Liu Ziyang said, opportunities like this are rare in a person’s lifetime, so he might as well appreciate it seriously.

At least half of the fans present had heard Hedgehog sing this song at a music festival, but never in an indoor sound field. Moreover, the music festivals are too far away, and the ambient sound is too complicated. Looking at this scene, even if the coordination of sound, light and electricity was not prepared in advance, the overall effect is still better than at a music festival.

"Please don't leave, this place is better than blooming flowers..." Ding Ding's voice and Bian Lang's singing at the same time made the people at the scene feel some details that they had never felt at the music festival. In the environment of the music festival, music is the most important role as an emotional catalyst. When so many people secrete something together, many details in the music are ignored by the fans.

But it’s different here, with fewer people and without those messy factors affecting the scene, the rock fans can experience a completely immersive rock feast this time!

The fans who were sitting near the front could even see the color of the pick in Bian Lang's hand, and even the sound of breathing and gasping could be heard clearly. Even if the sound system at the music festival was very good, these things would be ignored in the chaotic atmosphere.

In the venue of Summer of the Band, the program team and the participating bands really focused everyone's attention on the listening attributes of rock music, rather than other things that have been severely demonized.

There is no unbridled indulgence after losing control here, only the most authentic rock music!

When watching other bands’ performances, you may not be able to experience these things for a moment, but when watching Hedgehog’s live performances, the details that shocked the fans beyond words reminded them: “This is a live performance you have never experienced before, and this may only happen once in your life!”

"Youth is a green age. I understand that tomorrow will not have colors. Society is a game of hurt. I realized it when I woke up..."

Looking at Bian Lang on the stage, who had a desperate but stubborn expression on his face, Xia Yuxi in the audience finally saw the true colors of the Hedgehog Band.

That is a ray of light hidden in the ordinary world!

Although not as dazzling as the Rolling Stones, when it lights up, the sun's rays will be covered by it!
