Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Yiwo had heard the previous rehearsal, and looking at Lin Jiafeng's puzzled face, he could probably guess what the other party was thinking at the moment, which should be exactly the same as what he was thinking at the time.

However, he did not open his mouth to remind him, as if he was waiting to see Lin Jiafeng's extremely shocked expression behind him.

So when Lin Jiafeng cast a questioning look at him, Yiwo pretended not to see it and just stared at the stage and enjoyed it seriously.

The result was certainly not beyond Yiwo's expectations. After the three guitarists including Bian Lang played the interlude that made him fascinated, Lin Jiafeng was like someone who had taken a large dose of stimulants. He was already over fifty years old, and one gangster whistle after another came out of his mouth.

After Bian Lang and the others finished playing the song, his face had turned red with excitement, but the only question that remained in his mind lingered.

"Ivo, doesn't this song have lyrics?"

Yiwo had the same doubt before, but now he knows the answer.

Seeing Lin Jiafeng like this, he decided to tease this old friend: "Guess?"

Lin Jiafeng never expected to get such an answer, but he immediately came to his senses: "If you don't tell me, I can go to Bianlang directly later..."

Seeing that his old friend was not fooled, Yiwo smiled and replied: "Wave's original words were that he planned to write the lyrics for this song in Japanese, but time was too tight and he hadn't found a suitable co-writer yet..."

"What? You said Bian Lang was going to write the lyrics of this song in our language?"

Looking at Lin Jiafeng's eyes that were as big as copper bells, Yiwo spread his hands calmly and said, "Is this difficult for Wave?"

If the target was someone else, even if Yiwo said that he wanted to do it, Lin Jiafeng would just think he was joking, but for the person on the stage, it was really hard to say!

After all, Lin Jiafeng is very clear about how popular Bian Lang's English works are abroad. Take the ending of "Fade To Black" for example, it is now a must-practice piece for almost every guitarist in the island country.

The key point is that this is a pure English song, not the kind that mixes one or two sentences into the native language.

But this is an island language. Although it is the language of their own country, compared with the widely used English, Lin Jiafeng is not confident that Bian Lang, a native Chinese musician, can be proficient enough to use it to write lyrics.

"It's incredible! Why didn't he write such a good song in Chinese?"

"Isn't that good? Many of Wave's English songs were written when he was in Europe, so just treat it as a habit of his...Mr. Lin, don't you have any idea of ​​collaborating with Wave?"

"Cooperation... Oh, you mean a collaboration on writing lyrics? Then of course I'm willing to do that..." Lin Jiafeng was a little too shocked just now and forgot the news contained in Yiwo's words.

Now that he has been reminded and come to his senses, there is no reason for him to refuse.

After the Rolling Stones finished their work and left the stage, Lin Jiafeng and Yiwo approached them. After introducing themselves to each other, Lin Jiafeng expressed his thoughts without disguising anything: "Bian Lang, I heard that you wanted to write the lyrics of the song in our island language. I wonder if I can have the honor to participate in your creation?"

This question really stumped Bian Lang. Logically speaking, having a colleague like Lin Jiafeng to help him would definitely be much more effective than just hiring a translator. But Lin Jiafeng was a veteran in the island country's rock circle. If he really wanted to create something from scratch, Bian Lang would definitely nod in agreement without hesitation.

But the problem is that the lyrics are already there, and what he needs is a translator who can straighten out the non-standard Japanese lyrics he sings into the correct lyrics. If Lin Jiafeng were to do this, it would not be a waste of talent.

If this happened to Bian Lang himself, it would be no different from an insult.

So Bian Lang did not hide anything and told him the truth directly: "Mr. Lin, of course I am very willing to cooperate with you, but the cooperation I am referring to is actually a translation job..."

Although Bian Lang doesn't have many Japanese songs in his mind, there are still about a dozen in his head, and each one is a classic among classics, but it is impossible for Bian Lang to learn Japanese just for a dozen songs.

Since he is a senior in the island circle, it would be a good choice to let him reproduce those classics when the time is right.

At this point, Lin Jiafeng became even more confused: "If it's a translation, does that mean you've already written the Chinese lyrics? Why don't you sing it first?"

How could Bian Lang explain clearly to such a person who was always asking questions? He could only give Lin Jiafeng an answer that would shut him up: "Just wait and listen. If you think my lyrics are not good, I can give you the adaptation rights for free!"

This trick really worked. Almost at the same time that Bian Lang finished speaking in English, Lin Jiafeng’s big hands, which were covered with age spots, reached out and said, “It’s a deal! By the way, does this song have a title now?”

There was no need for Bian Lang to hide anything, so he replied directly: "ENDLESSRAIN..."

……

Tokyo Dome is located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, Japan. It is a stadium with 55000 fixed seats and is also the home stadium of the Japanese professional baseball team Yomiuri Giants.

Because of the Panama performance, some audience areas were added in the inner field. Although several stands behind the stage were lost, the final number of tickets sold still exceeded 50000.

Liu Yongzhi had been to the dome to watch performances before, but he was always there to see Japanese girl groups. He never imagined that one day he would be able to see Chinese stars perform at the Tokyo Dome. It is difficult to describe his excitement at this moment in words.

Even though the island country and China are actually across the sea, the distance from the east is even shorter than the diagonal line of China's inland. However, due to various reasons, the chance of seeing Chinese singers perform in the island country may not be higher than that in Europe and the United States!

What's more, they are a rock band, and they came as guests on a tour of the world's top rock band.

In addition, he was encouraged by the popularity of the video and arrived at the square outside the Dome early today, ready to collect some materials for the next video in his series.

Before he went out, he had anticipated the situation of encountering his compatriots, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that his expectations were obviously very different.

In the square in front of the dome, the number of Chinese compatriots that could be seen accounted for a quarter of the total, which surprised him. You have to know that this is not Yokohama's Chinatown. If you can see such a large number of compatriots here, what else could it be if not for the Rolling Stones?

As for why he could tell them apart at a glance, it was probably because of the feeling of blood connection engraved in his bones.

"The influence of the Rolling Stones is obvious..."

Of course, the Rolling Stones' guest performances were also changed at short notice, so many of these people may not have tickets at all. So many of them may have arrived a few hours in advance just to try their luck and see if there are any scalpers who still have tickets.

Liu Yongzhi thought that he should also shoot some footage of his compatriots and edit it into the video, so he spotted a fellow girl and went up to ask her.

"Hello, young lady. Are you here today for the Rolling Stones' performance?"

The girl had noticed him as a compatriot before. When she saw him coming over with the sports camera, she had already simulated the other person's conversation in her mind, and this one was obviously within the girl's expectations.

"Yeah, I bought the Panama ticket before, but I didn't expect that I could even go to the Rolling Stones live..."

"Can I ask you some questions? I'm the UP host of this little broken website..."

"Your account is Liu?"

“Have you seen my video?”

"I haven't seen the previous ones, but I watched your video last night several times..."

After a conversation, the relationship between the two was immediately strengthened. As both are international students, the girl's school is not in Tokyo, and she took a 3-hour public transportation this morning. From the girl's mouth, Liu Yongzhi also learned that the Rolling Stones also has a fan club in the island country.

This girl named Qian Yuxuan is one of the founders of this fan club. This fan club not only has Chinese compatriots, but also many fans from island countries, and the majority of them are girls.

Of course, there are also some music fans who are already working and living in the island country. Under the leadership of Qian Yuxuan, Liu Yongzhi's next interviewee is the oldest male fan in the fan club.

Judging from his retro punk outfit, Liu Yongzhi should be a veteran rock fan.

The interview went smoothly. Although this guy is over 30 years old, he is as sentimental as the homebodies: "I have been in the island country for nearly 10 years. The last time a domestic rock band performed here was 7 years ago... This time it was still in the Dome. Although it was not a special show, I think Panama's guest performers are already amazing!"

"It's hard to say when the next time the Rolling Stones come to our island country to perform will be their own show at the Dome... I'm really looking forward to what new songs the Rolling Stones will bring us tonight. I think this is a rare opportunity for me, as an overseas Rolling Stones fan, to show off in front of domestic fans..." When he said the last part, his eyes were about to flow with excitement.

Of course, what he said is absolutely correct. This time, domestic music fans can’t even watch the live broadcast and can only wait for the official video to be released.

Although there were still nearly two hours until the show started, meeting so many compatriots, all of whom came for the Rolling Stones, the time really passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Yongzhi also encountered some people who really came to the scene to try their luck, but this number was very small. Many people were like Liu Yongzhi, who bought tickets from scalpers without hesitation as soon as the news was released.

There are very few people scalping tickets here today. Liu Yongzhi even interviewed a scalper from an island country and got a price that was 3 to 5 times the original ticket price.

This is completely different from the scalper ticket that Liu Yongzhi bought last night at a price only 30% premium. This also reflects that the Rolling Stones still have a large fan base in the island country.

As for the Japanese rock fans, Liu Yongzhi certainly didn't let them off. The Japanese fans who have long liked the Rolling Stones in the fan group are no worse than the top domestic rock fans when it comes to blowing rainbow farts. And it's all emotion, and you don't need any professional knowledge as an aid at all, and you can still be convinced by listening to it!

Some were randomly found rock fans who had just heard of the Rolling Stones yesterday. These people had mixed reviews. Some girls were simply attracted by Bian Lang's looks.

Some even said that if Bian Lang could go for the visual rock route, he would definitely be the top star in the island country!

If someone like Bian heard this, he could only sigh and say, "I can't control this thing!" He didn't mean to look down on it, he just felt that he simply couldn't handle it.

Thinking back to the time when XJAPAN would release half-meter-long red pills at any time, Bian Lang wondered if these guys would end up with baldness due to using too much hairspray...

As for the music, it must be said that XJAPAN’s success as Asia’s top rock band was not achieved by relying on the visual style, but its music is truly impeccable.

Otherwise, how could they be included in the three most famous rains in the history of rock music? You should know that the creators of the other two rains were Prince and Guns N' Roses. It goes without saying that the quality of the work that can be on par with these two is of course high.

As for those Asian top rock bands in Taiwan that lip-sync, Bian Lang feels that even the current rankings are just self-congratulatory remarks by the fans.

They are certainly the youth of many people, but they really have little to do with rock music...

At this time, there was a special group of Chinese audiences outside the venue. They were people in the circle who came specifically for the Rolling Stones.

Most of them are from the Rolling Stones, and basically all those with passports have come here. Before in Europe, due to the long journey and the long performance cycle, most of the Rolling Stones musicians did not have the opportunity to see the Rolling Stones perform live abroad.

The island country is so close this time, and it’s a Panama tour, so how could they not go and see it?

The team leader is Liang Zi. It's not because he has any other advantages, but simply because he has a cheerful personality and likes to take charge of things. He is not afraid of anything, whether it is at home or abroad!

They just got off the plane in Tokyo at noon today. They basically went back to the hotel to put their luggage and then came directly to the Dome.

Seeing that there were many compatriot fans at the scene, Liangzi became more active. He felt a little uneasy beforehand because he didn't find a translator in advance, but now seeing so many compatriots he was not nervous at all.

First, he took a group photo with the dome as the background, and then started to ask fellow countrymen for some information.

Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones are still in the spotlight in domestic public opinion. They also hope to use the true feelings of these people abroad to slap the faces of domestic keyboard warriors.

As luck would have it, the first person Liangzi wanted to question was Qian Yuxuan.

Before Liangzi could speak, Qian Yuxuan felt that this person looked very familiar: "Wait, little brother, don't say anything first, let me think about why you look so familiar..."

Liangzi was also surprised: "Ah? Our second-hand reputation has spread to the island country?"

After holding back the excitement in his heart for about ten seconds, he heard Qian Yuxuan chuckle, and then blurted out to Liang Zi: "Brother, you play rock music, what's the point of playing it?"
