Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 305: The audience where the storm gathers (two chapters in one, please subscribe and vote monthly)

The time came on the night of Hatter's concert. There was still an hour before the entrance time, and a considerable crowd had already gathered in the square at the entrance.

After the indoor venue with a capacity of 12000 people was equipped with a stage and other equipment, the final number of tickets sold to the outside world was 11000.Tickets were sold out within 17 minutes of opening, which also set a new record for Hatter’s ticket sales in previous tours.

I didn’t know before whether this sold-out speed had something to do with the inclusion of the Rolling Stones’ name in the pre-announcement. Today, I saw a lot of Chinese faces outside the venue, and I can basically confirm that there is an inevitable connection between the two.

DGM also gave the Rolling Stones enough branding this time. In the past, the posters for the supporting guests were basically just a few The size of the space they occupy is just different.

Moreover, on the pyramid-shaped poster standing near the fountain in the square, the Rolling Stones' logo also occupies a full page of it.

At this time, Watts and Zhang Jing had just taken the subway from Wembley Park Station. Without looking at a map or navigation, they followed a group of leather-clad rockers to the square in front of the stadium.

Zhang Jing felt a little strange when she saw many locals dressed normally but wearing red and white Arsenal scarves taking photos in front of the Rolling Stones logo.

"Ms. Watts, are the Rolling Stones that famous in Europe now?"

Faced with Zhang Jing's question, Watts was also confused.Although music has no borders, language barriers can still cause great obstacles.

Especially as a professional English-Chinese translator, she is well aware of the huge gap between Indo-European and Sino-Tibetan languages. Not only are their pronunciations and glyphs very different, but there are also huge differences in word formation methods.

Therefore, she feels that even if the Rolling Stones, which currently only has one English song "Fade To Black" without audio source, has local fans in Europe, they are at least senior rock fans like her.

With this doubt in mind, Wentz took another closer look, and only then did she realize that some of the people who took photos with the Rolling Stones logo actually left after taking the photos!

"Jing, I think you can go find the Chinese over there and ask what's going on?" Watts's curiosity was now aroused by these people.

Zhang Jing pulled down the scarf that covered half of her face, revealing her iconic Chinese face, and walked towards a male compatriot who was wearing a woolen hat but was stomping his feet in the cold.

"Hello sir, do you know why these people are taking pictures here?"

Xie Xinyan was not very well-dressed when he arrived, but he thought he would get high in the infield soon, so he put his long woolen windbreaker on the nanny car.Not wanting to cover up too much and not wanting to be recognized, he put on a woolen hat and a thick sweater.

Thinking that he would be entering the venue in a few minutes, he didn't bother to walk back to the car, so he could only stand there and stamp his feet to keep warm.

Now he suddenly heard someone saying hello to him in Chinese. He suddenly had a slight stress reaction. After all, he was really scared by some fanatic fans and paparazzi when he was in Xiangjiang.

But after he realized that the person did not directly recognize him, he replied in Chinese with a Cantonese accent: "I don't know either."

But when he spoke, even though there was no bright light source in the square, Zhang Jing still used his iconic accent to guess and ask: "King Xie Tian?"

Now that he has been recognized, Xie Xinyan has no intention of continuing to hide it: "Hello, are you here to hear the Hatter concert too?"

"I came to listen to the Rolling Stones, so did you?" Compared to the Rolling Stones, Xie Xinyan's status in Zhang Jing's heart is slightly better.

After all, Xie Xinyan was the male idol recognized by the girls when she was in junior high school. He was good at singing and handsome, but unfortunately now he is increasingly neglecting his job.But even now, she occasionally digs out Xie Xinyan's old songs and listens to them.

For the most classic songs, she can still sing a chorus just by opening her mouth.

So facing Xie Xinyan like this in a foreign country, she really didn't know how to describe her mood at this time.

"Chasing stars with King Xie Tian? Is this..."

Just as he was thinking this, Xie Xinyan said: "I like the Rolling Stones' songs very much, and it helped me regain my original obsession with rock music..."

Hearing this, what came to Zhang Jing's mind was the scene where Xie Xinyan angrily smashed his sky-high price electric guitar at a party many years ago in order to resist lip-syncing.

"Perhaps, the Xie Tianwang we saw is not his true self. Under his handsome appearance, there should be a hot rock and roll heart wrapped around him."

Before, Xie Xinyan was busy stomping his feet to keep warm and didn't notice the situation of those who went to take pictures with the Rolling Stones logo. Now he was reminded by Zhang Jing. After observing it, he felt that this situation was very interesting.

After all, he was abroad, and he didn't need to pay as much attention as he did at home. He immediately walked up to a middle-aged man who had just taken a photo, and asked in a friendly manner in fluent English: "伱伱Okay, may I ask if you take a photo with this logo? Does it have any special meaning?"

Seeing Xie Xinyan's typical Chinese face, the middle-aged man said excitedly: "You are also Chinese, right? Don't you know the Rolling Stones? That is the best rock band in China in my opinion!"

Faced with this rhetorical question, Xie Xinyan was stunned for an instant.He never imagined that one day, he would be betrayed by a foreigner on the streets of London to a band from his home country.And what’s with this proud tone?

"Is it possible that Bianlang still has your London blood?"

Thinking of this, Xie Xinyan confessed: "Of course I know this is the Rolling Stones' logo, I just don't understand. You don't look like you are here for a concert, but why do you come here specifically to take pictures?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, the expression on his face became even more exciting.I saw him pulling on his Arsenal team towel, pointing in the direction of the Emirates Stadium and saying: "Why did the Rolling Stones create a brand new song? That will be our weapon against Tottenham on the weekend! We will still die." The Tifo pattern of the Rolling Stones logo was used to scorn Tottenham's players.

If this happened earlier, I would definitely buy a ticket to support the Rolling Stones!Bian Lang, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones, is our forever friend in North London! "

After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, Xie Xinyan suddenly had a strange idea in his mind about who I was and whether I was in China or London.

Zhang Jing, who was following him, was also dumbfounded!

She could understand writing a song for Arsenal fans, after all, this was Renbianlang's specialty.But using the Rolling Stones' logo to create Tifo on site is a bit difficult to understand.

At this moment, the crowd that had been stranded in the square began to move towards Wembley Stadium, and the two realized that they were starting to check in for tickets.

Immediately, Xie Xinyan thanked the middle-aged man who helped him solve his doubts, then turned and walked towards the gate of the stadium.

After taking two steps, he turned back to Zhang Jing and said, "See you inside! Then let's cheer for the Rolling Stones together!"

"Okay, see you inside!" Facing King Xie Tian like this, Zhang Jing was stunned again.

"This is my former idol, and today I actually met her in real life, and she even talked to me. The most important thing is that he actually listens to the Rolling Stones live like me! This..."

Zhang Jing felt that she was a little lost. How could she forget to ask for a photo and autograph?

If this was posted to a group of classmates in junior high school, it is estimated that many female classmates who have not been in contact for many years will secretly send her private messages to inquire about the specific situation.

In the end, how she was dragged into the gymnasium by Watts was not even clear to her.

It wasn't until the sound of the warm-up band's instruments sounded that she was brought back to reality from the floating clouds.

She didn’t know what tricks Wentz used and how many euros he paid to get tickets for the A2 area closest to the stage after the tickets were sold out. If they could squeeze to the front, they would be only one block away from the stage. A hand's distance away.

Although it is a standing room, it is still the best seat compared to the seats in the stands.

She didn't know whether it was the heating in the venue or the carbon dioxide exhaled by the 11000 people that made the temperature of the venue suddenly rise. At this moment, she had taken off her scarf and stuffed it into her schoolbag. Under the leadership of Watts, she walked towards the front barrier. Pushed through.

Xie Xinyan, who came in a little earlier than the two of them, now firmly occupies the C seat in the audience.He also took off the woolen hat on his head, stuffed it into the side pocket of his baggy overalls, and whistled at the warm-up band performing on the stage.

It wasn't because of how exciting the band's performance was, it was just because he remembered that many years ago, as the second Chinese to hold a concert at Wembley Stadium, he was also a shining person standing on this stage!

In the front row of the stands facing the stage, Adams, who had not listened to rock music live for a long time, was chatting with the vice chairman of Arsenal: "Lewis, I never expected that you would actually call me to ask for a concert. tickets.”

"My old friend, I didn't expect you to show up here in person. To be honest, when the people from the Fans Association put the video of "The Angel" in front of me, I never expected that this song was actually a Chinese song. People wrote it!”

Before Adams could answer, Crazyscale CEO on the other side interjected: "I really didn't expect that you could actually bring the Rolling Stones to Europe in such a short period of time."

Hearing this, Adams leaned forward, rested his elbows on his knees, pointed to his right with his finger and said: "Did you see the representatives of the luxury goods companies over there? They offered an offer that DGM couldn't refuse. The price tag sponsored Hatter’s tour, and the condition was that the Rolling Stones would come and be the guest performers.”

"What? What does the Stones have to do with them?"

Faced with this question, Adams straightened up, made a gesture of spreading his hands and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I feel that some people hope that the Rolling Stones will not continue to be in the limelight in China for the time being..."

Hearing this, Lewis said happily: "Then I have to thank them for their generosity, otherwise this derby will lose a classic scene that will be remembered by North Londoners for a lifetime!"

"Who says it's not? I personally think that if the team doesn't win more championships in the future, it will be a shame for this song!"

<divclass="contentadv">At this time, in the background, Feimos and Bob were already making final preparations.

Judging from the scarf styles of the attendees, there were a lot of gun fans present today. They didn't know whether these fans had purchased tickets for the concert in the first place, or if they had bought them from scalpers at a high price after yesterday morning.

They just heard from Evelyn that just before entering the venue, the original 75 euros for both side stands tickets had been sold to more than 300 pounds, and the standing tickets for any area of ​​the infield were more than 600 pounds... …

As for the A2 area in the C position, the scalpers on site did not have it at all.

It is said that on a second-hand website, someone sold one ticket for 180 times the original price of 10 pounds.

They were a little surprised by the increase in their scalper votes before, but after seeing that nearly half of the A2 area were Chinese, they completely understood what was going on.

It turns out that the reason for the increase in scalper votes has nothing to do with them.

Among the Chinese in the A2 area, international students account for a large proportion of them.When they learned that the Rolling Stones were going to be the guest singers at Hatter's London show, every song was inspired by Bian Lang's original Earth's special period. Everyone was competing for KY's energy and speed online, and they didn't know what would happen next. The scalpers launched a blitzkrieg.

Among them, there was a rich second generation with a lot of pocket money. He grabbed more than 20 tickets in one go. Except for a few tickets that were given to Hua Xia classmates at the original price, he made a total of 1 yuan in this wave. Doo.

The warm-up band's performance had entered the final stage. Feimos, who was holding a guitar, took a sip of the beer handed by his assistant, passed it to Bob and asked in passing: "Bob, what do you think, besides "The Angel", How about those new Rolling Stones songs?”

Bob took a sip and passed it to the bassist. After wiping the remaining wine stains on his beard with his wristband, he said seriously: "If our performance was in China, I'm afraid that after the Rolling Stones came on stage, the audience's The support will exceed ours.”

"Are you talking nonsense, man? But this is London!"

"I want to say that if the Rolling Stones tour Europe in the future and invite us to be guests, we may be under a lot of pressure! Think about the English song he sang during today's rehearsal. If you are a rock fan, you Will you go crazy about it?”

Thinking of the scene during today's rehearsal during the day, Feimos was really a little jealous.

If they were at the peak of their band's creative period, then maybe they could ignite their creative desire and spend half a year or a year polishing a piece that they feel is similar.

But now, Feimos feels that it may take two, three, or even more years, and he may not be able to write a comparable work.

But he is not depressed at all. Music is also a category of artistic creation.Except for the fixed seven scales of do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and si, there is really no agreed-upon standard for other variables that allows you to judge the quality of music.

Just like Bian Lang's new song "The Angel", the chords are ridiculously simple, but the lyrics are heart-piercing enough.

Thinking of this, Feimos said to the people following him: "Guys, show your true skills today. Let the people of Bianlang and Rolling Stone see the level of our Hatter's live performances in Europe... …”

And now Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones are becoming the most loyal spectators in the stands next to DGM's artists.

To be honest, a few people wanted to follow them out to the infield and stand high, but they were afraid that when it was time for them to take the field, they would be too high to find anyone, so they could only sit in the stands.

As the stage lights turned from bright to dark, the shadows of Hatter and several others appeared on the stage.

Feimos didn't make any opening remarks. Just a distorted guitar sound swept out, which completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

Under the glare of the moving head lights, the audience in the audience has begun a new round of agitation.

The shouts that began to come out scatteredly, after a few seconds, automatically adjusted into a neat and rhythmic shout: "Hatter!"

This kind of momentum makes Bian Lang, who has been a rocker for two lifetimes, feel deafening.

Thinking about the internal fandom in China, Bian Lang really feels that those who spend tens of euros to listen to rock music live are the ones who can really draw power from music.

And those young men and women in the rice circle who are deeply affected by the stick trend are just using the favorable material conditions given by their parents to mock their parents' failure in educating them in three views.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang felt that if the first song they were going to sing today could provide some positive guidance in the subsequent fermentation process, it would have some positive effects on the music aesthetics of Chinese fans of Aqua Blue Star. To improve.

When Hatter's performance officially got on track, Bian Lang experienced the difference between an indoor rock scene with thousands of people and an outdoor scene.

You may not have noticed much of a difference when there was no audience during the rehearsal, but now that the venue is full, the auditory and visual shock it brings is unmatched by outdoor venues.

Listening to Feimos singing at this time, Bian Lang even wondered if this guy was paddling on purpose at the Rolling Stones Music Festival...

Ten songs were performed in one breath, two of which were pieces that Bian Lang had heard at the Rolling Stones Music Festival. There were only minor changes in the arrangement, and they were all focused on the drum set.

But just this small change made the effect of these two songs in this enclosed space far better than the effect in the open air during the music festival.

To put it simply, this is the difference between listening to music with ordinary speakers and listening with HiFi-level headphones.

At this point, the first half of Hatter's performance was about to end, and the Rolling Stones also came down from the stands and went backstage to prepare for their appearance.

After Bob finished playing the ending of the current song, Phimos, who had not said a word before, just singing, finally said: "Next, let me hear your most enthusiastic screams! Use our Londoners' voice We would like to extend our warmest welcome to today’s guest performer, The Rolling Stones.”

Under the guidance of Feimos, the atmosphere once again reached a climax!

Xie Xinyan, half of his body already leaning out of the isolation fence, has now taken off his thick sweater and tied it around his waist, revealing the black vest underneath.A gangster whistle with a long tail sound came from his mouth, which was a prelude to the Rolling Stones' appearance on stage.

The Chinese music fans who had retained their strength before were now transformed into vocal loudspeakers. Some of the screaming female voices made Olaf directly sigh on the mixing desk: "Could this be?" A student from the vocal music department of which conservatory, right?"

Zhang Jing, who had basically remained calm just now, was now guided by so many Chinese voices, and her inner universe could no longer contain the impending momentum.

Having squeezed to the front, she shouted with all her strength: "Bianlang, you are awesome!" After that, she looked up in a daze and saw Xie Xinyan, who was a few feet away, giving him a thumbs up!

At this time, in the Hatter live broadcast room of Xiaopo Station, the barrages that had maintained a stable output before suddenly went crazy:

"I saw it, I finally saw it with my own eyes! We finally have a Chinese rock band that can become a guest of a big-name European band!"

"High energy ahead, please wear headphones!"

"Come on, tell me, I'm not dreaming now!"

"Rolling Stone is awesome! Bianlang is awesome!"

Although rock fans in the studio had already known the news, it was not until the Stones actually appeared on the Wembley Arena stage.The inner impact it gave music fans was unparalleled when they heard the news before.

With their national self-confidence and pride overwhelming, they can only express their emotional heights by smashing the keyboard.

Looking at the barrage that filled the screen and the data of more than 200 million people online at the same time, Chen Bing began to feel a little carried away at this moment: "I just want to know who among the guests in Ant Nest who are watching the live broadcast now can Sit still."

The ant nest at this time was exactly 9 o'clock in the morning.

From the beginning of recording until now, there has never been a time when everyone gathered neatly and energetically to watch TV at this time in the morning.

Whether it was a script that they really liked or was requested by the directing team, the expressions on everyone's faces at this moment were extremely exciting.

Liu Xiaokui was now very familiar with Liang Zi. The two of them were like two flying monkeys whose fuses were lit. They jumped up from the sofa and shouted: "Brother Lang is mighty!"

Looking at the atmosphere at the scene, Guo Sichu, who has always been a Buddhist, actually set a goal in her heart: "I want to go to Wembley Stadium to hold a special concert before the Rolling Stones!"

Lao Luo sat on the lazy sofa with a smile, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Duan Yuntao: "Hurry up to Xiaopo Station and watch my student perform in London!"

Wang Yunfei also widened his eyes, looked at the TV screen and said with admiration: "Awesome, my Teacher Lang, when you return to the ant nest, I will definitely hold a celebration banquet for you!"

As for Dong Youbian, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He just knew that he was jumping around with a group of people.At the same time, she also thought in her mind: "This variety show will end soon, so I can go to Europe with Mr. Bian to watch the show!"
