Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Domestic rock fans are naturally happy to hear about this. Some of them are so wild that they are already waiting at the airport to fly to the island country.

But not all of these media people who were slapped in the face remained silent. There was a small group of people who, whether because the power of money was strong enough or because they were too professional, actually banded together and prepared to tear off some skin from the Rolling Stones even if they couldn't bring down the big tree of Bian Lang.

This time, Du Ziteng, who had been defeated in the previous fight, rationally chose to wait and see. No matter who came to lobby him or how much money was offered, he would not agree.

The reason is very simple. He saw some deep-seated problems that others did not see clearly.

The previous cases of Goose Egg and Rolling Stone were ultimately a game between the platform and the record company. Even if some entertainment companies were involved, it would be far from the current situation.

Now, at this year's Golden Melody Awards, Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones can be said to be the only ones to win, achieving a real crushing victory. Of course, Jason also refused to recognize the fake award.

If this was just a one-time event, it would be fine. We are only halfway through this year, but judging by the songs released by Bian Lang and Rolling Stone, there will definitely be more awards next year. This has made those investors who are used to spending money to quickly create stars and then quickly harvest fans to make money unable to sit still.

He looked at the little thing he had written after spending half a day gathering information from all sides, and began to mutter to himself:

“No matter how clearly those business research reports write, rock music is only as big as a piece of fruit in a layer of fruit sandwich in the big cake of the entire Chinese music scene. But once more people taste and get used to this natural fruit flavor, will they still find the outer layer of the cake that relies on flavors and pigments to be tempting?”

In addition, the Rolling Stones and Goose Egg have returned to the path of cooperation, which means that the platform will remain neutral on the surface and support rock music in private.

The reason is very simple. Compared with those traffic stars, the cost of supporting Bian Lang and Rolling Stone is almost free.

After the signing ceremony with the Rolling Stones yesterday, the Rolling Stones songs that were released on time at midnight did not perform too well in terms of downloads, but they surged by several million. This is incomparable to the amount accumulated by the other two companies over a year.

But this morning, the stock price of Edan Music almost reached its daily limit, which is no small matter. If you say that there is no connection with the signing yesterday, who would believe it?

However, the situation is completely different for the two latest singles from the album "Songs from the Past" which were just released at noon today.

Liu Chuang's new song "Never Left" directly topped the charts on three major platforms, making the original No. 1 tremble in fear. Moreover, it was the kind of song with both sales and word of mouth soaring! Among them, the volume of goose eggs accounted for half.

In his previous achievements, there was no such direct crushing dominance.

Moreover, the sales and word of mouth were both great. Even those people in the industry who didn't like the Rolling Stones would just keep quiet. But those who were already on good terms with the Rolling Stones were just bragging about it!

Some people used to think that they were from the pop music circle and it was difficult for them to speak for the rock music circle. Now that they have released such a good pop song, they no longer have any pressure to be the tap water. The essays filled with all kinds of compliments were sent out as if they were free.

If netizens saw this kind of flattery on a normal day, their first reaction would probably be that a certain popular star hired some internet trolls.

But after listening to the songs, they all blamed themselves for not having enough knowledge, otherwise they would brag even more than those music bloggers.

The most important thing is that the thawing between the Rolling Stones and Goose Egg means that it is only a matter of time before those singers and companies that had previously severed ties with Goose Egg because of the Rolling Stones get back on the shelves.

As for why Liu Chuang is first, it really depends on his luck.

Because Silva's "I Surrender" was included in the foreign song chart according to the language and singer's international classification regulations, and it also debuted at number one!

The download volume is more than twice that of Liu Chuang, and more than double the total download volume of all foreign songs ranked 2-10. Although Silva doesn't care much about this result, it is completely different in the eyes of the three major music platforms.

This marks a new model for Chinese music to integrate with foreign cooperation.

If this song can achieve the same results in Europe as it did in China, then the influence of China as the first release place in the world music circle will be completely different. These may not have much effect on the interests of entertainment companies, but they are completely different for the platforms.

There is another point that Goose Egg cares about more, that is, through Rolling Stone, he can directly contact the core layer of DGM, then the vast amount of copyrights under DGM...

It can be predicted that foreign rock music may begin to spread in China at a speed that no one expects. Compared with the long-term sluggishness of domestic rock music, foreign rock music is different.

How can the domestic capitals that only seek quick results and only focus on traffic remain sitting still?

They will not offend Goose Egg, and they don't have the ability to lead the rock circle to break up with Goose Egg like Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones did. Now they are asking Goose Egg to take the initiative to make peace.

Although there is a little shadow of capital behind the Rolling Stones, its nature and field have nothing to do with those of them who are often in the entertainment industry. Therefore, their competition with rock music, after the Golden Melody Awards incident, will trigger an open and normalized market competition battle.

Du Ziteng is a man who will take any job as long as he has money. Although he has no principles or bottom line, he sometimes makes decisions based on his own preferences.

He had no interest in rock music before, but the Rolling Stones' new song "The Imperfect Comedy" made this cultural "old rogue" regain some of his memories of the literary youth in the late 80s.

That’s right, literature is his biggest hobby. Digging deeper along this line, he found more of the atmosphere of his youth in the lyrics of other works by Bian Lang.

So he decided not to get involved in this matter, and might even help Bian Lang when necessary.

As for those big Vs who specialize in doing dirty work, they did not miss this good opportunity to make money. One after another, short essays criticizing rock music began to appear on the Internet.

Most of them are still the same old clichés. In the year since the rise of rock music, as rock music has become more and more well-known, many prejudices and one-sided views have no longer caused much waves.

There is only one entertainment account on DY that specializes in sharing internet celebrity brainwashing songs. I don’t know where they found the manuscripts, but they used AI to generate subtitles and sounds and then put them up, which created the most glorious moment for this account since its opening.

The content points out that "The Imperfect Comedy" does not conform to the public's musical aesthetics, the lengthy instrumental performance has no aesthetic appeal and makes people want to sleep, and the lyrics of less than 50 words cannot provide any emotional value. It is pure "scam"!

At the same time, the entire Rolling Stones' music and rock music were generalized.

The number of likes exceeded 10 million, which made Liang Kuan gasp.

Following his line of thought, many people began to express themselves freely, and immediately on DY there was a craze for boycotting the Rolling Stones, mainly among some unknown group.

After it spread to other platforms, those who supported rock music began to stop.

Bai Dao was the first to jump out as the first one to blow the whistle. His opinions are not novel at all. He used "The Imperfect Comedy" as an example to criticize the low musical aesthetic taste of most people in China.

Daoye raised his hand and countless music UP hosts on the small broken website of the Rolling Stones' base camp jumped out to support him. After being fueled by some people with ulterior motives, this incident triggered a big discussion on the national music aesthetics.

Many netizens who took this opportunity to vent their emotions started to curse online:

"I'm not saying anything, but songs like that with only a few lines of lyrics won't be appreciated even if they are released overseas!"

"Let's not talk about those high-end concerts. Ordinary people like us can't understand them. But rock music is popular music anyway. Just a few incomprehensible lyrics, you think you are so noble, right?"

Many of these people may not even have heard of this song, but under the impetus of this wave of public opinion, they successfully turned against it!

When Bian Lang, who was rehearsing in the island country, learned the news, he was not surprised at all.

Bian Lang thinks that Chen Shuting's description of Bai Dao's behavior is jumping into a fire pit, which is extremely reasonable: "What Bai Dao said is absolutely correct. We really need to select the audience for this year's album, and not many of these people comment after listening to the songs. If we follow the entertainment industry's set of establishing a good baby persona, why should we rock and roll?"

Bian Lang will not compromise on this point, not even for money!

If it's purely for money, then order the Daolang set meal, add Pang Long and Yang Chengang as side dishes, and you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

"So just leave it like this? Let the heat die down slowly?"

Bian Lang waved his hands and smiled, "Didn't those people say that foreigners can't appreciate it? Then I'll let them have a look... Anyway, I was too busy before and I haven't come up with the lyrics for "ENDLESS RAIN" yet, so I'll just play the instrumental this time!"

"Ah! That's not impossible!"

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

Because Bian Lang has been busy with so many things recently, he has not been able to find someone to help him restore the lyrics of "ENDLESS RAIN" to the Japanese language. He originally planned not to use it this time and replace it with an English song or a Cantonese song, but now that someone is inciting provocation, he has to give it a try.

Anyway, the approval here doesn’t have so many restrictions and is easy to operate.

At the last rehearsal in the evening, after the warm-up band finished their performance, the band members did not leave, but came to the Rolling Stones under the leadership of the lead singer.

Bian Lang originally thought that they just wanted to get to know each other and have some exchanges, but who would have thought that when the young men came up to him, they bowed deeply first, and then blurted out, "Seniors, it is our great honor to perform with you!"

After understanding what these guys were talking about through translation, Bian Lang roughly guessed that it was probably because his band's music had gained some popularity in the island country's rock circles.

What made him curious was what works they liked. After all, after all the overseas business was given to DGM, looking at the financial statements was just a matter of understanding the numbers, and he didn't know the specific situation in each region.

"Thank you! I want to ask, how much do you know about the works of the Rolling Stones?"

After listening to the translation, the lead singer took out an album of "Tang Dynasty" from the outer layer of the guitar case and handed it to me, saying: "This is my favorite album since we formed the band, and "Dream of Tang Dynasty" is also my favorite song... I hope to get the signature of the predecessor..."

From the beginning, Bian Lang thought to himself, given the temperament of the Japanese people, shouldn’t they prefer English songs?

But if you think about the original Earth, Tang Dynasty's overseas performances were in Berlin and the island country. It's not surprising that a lot of video footage of the performances at that time was left behind by the people of the island country.

If we think about it from the perspective of our ancestors, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the bloodline suppression!

Thinking of this, Bian Lang happily took the CD and took a look, only to find that it was unopened and a domestically released version.

"Signed outside?"

"Yeah, I plan to keep this album as a treasure and never open it..."

Bian Lang signed the CD and handed it back, then continued to ask: "How long has your band been established? Is this your first time forming a band?"

"Less than two years. We were all students before..."

Combining the strength they demonstrated during the rehearsal on stage just now, Bian Lang can basically figure out the gap between the new generation of bands in the island country and those in China.

These professionally trained bands climbed to the top of the new generation of bands in the island country in two years. When compared with other domestic bands with the same conditions, Bian Lang felt that the gap between them was at least several times that of Li Yiliang.

But this gap is caused by many reasons, but it can be seen that the musical literacy of these people is much higher than that of domestic rock musicians.

The lead singer named Qitian Lin talked a lot with Bian Lang, which made Bian Lang lament the lack of educational resources, but also made him more determined to run the Rolling Stone Music School well.

Finally, Nanada Hayashi and the band members took a group photo with the entire Rolling Stones band.

After the photo was uploaded to YouTube, both their fans and the Japanese rock community started discussing it crazily:

"Are we really that lucky that the Rolling Stones are here as guests?"

"I thought we had to go to China to see the Rolling Stones, but now we can get a sneak peek!"

"After I was told I couldn't perform, I was thinking about who Panama would invite to take over. I didn't expect it to be the Rolling Stones! Everyone, see you live..."

The person who spoke was none other than Lin Jiafeng, the lead singer of Feng Band, a veteran island band that was originally going to be the guest performer for Panama Band.
