Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 393 Lost to Liu Yao

Once you start rocking the repeater, you can't stop.

In the singing of "Please don't stop my music..." over and over again, a classic scene about this song was born.

However, the only ones who could fully experience this scene were the guests present.

After all, the on-site sound collection equipment has its limitations. With Naraqua's sound equipment, the effect that can be heard in the live broadcast room is only half of what it is in the live broadcast room.

But just this half was enough to make the rock fan in the live broadcast room blow up:

"The Rolling Stones' Unplugged, there were so many singers singing along in the audience, it would be so enjoyable to be there!"

"The live broadcast and radio reception are average. Just think about this kind of thing. This kind of award ceremony is only attended by people in the industry. We ordinary people can't buy tickets even if we have money."

"I hope the Rolling Stones can perform an unplugged show next year! Let those who dislike rock and roll being too boring take a closer look. Rock and roll that is not boring can also hit people's hearts!"

Seeing this scene, all the leaders of Yuncun didn't know what to say.

Bian Lang clearly remembers that after the Muma band's noise reduction, only Hat Qiang was left in the band.

Bian Lang went to the island country to watch a music festival, and happened to catch a performance by Hat Qiang. The musicians were all temporarily found in the island country. In the next few days, Mao Qiang drank with Bian Lang every day, and slept on the sofa of Bian Lang's B&B every night...

So far, the Rolling Stones' unplugged performance has not overturned, but the psychological pressure on the subsequent performers has been great.

When we meet again, it will be the year before Le Xia.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang decided that after the New Year, water blue star Le Xia would have to make arrangements!

Bian Lang picked up the loudspeaker again and said to the audience: "I hope we can hear more and more sincere music in the future!"

If we look at it according to the perfect standards of previous parties, the Rolling Stones' performance today was still flawed. Compared with the sound of the instruments picked up by the microphone and plugged directly into the mixer, there are always some ups and downs. Many sound details in the instruments are missing. All methods are shown.

As soon as the clean bass comes out, there seems to be a magic power, driving people's curiosity to explore what this instrument is.

Bian Lang met Mao Qiang at the Snow Mountain Music Festival in 07. At that time, the two even spent money to buy a roasted whole lamb at the Green Forest Inn, and treated Brother Muyang and Brother Yunpeng to a meal.

Finally, with a sped-up improvisation by all the musicians, the outro finally came to a perfect rest.

Otherwise, based on the lineup of bands present at that time, China Rock may not have to wait for Le Xia to start to recover.

The outro also left a special acoustic bass solo for Huang Kai. Whether in the audience or in the live broadcast room, 99% of the people had never seen this instrument, let alone heard it.

Apart from the MIDI show in my previous life, the most influential unplugged event in the Chinese rock circle was probably the "Noise Reduction, Unplugged Rock Concert".

The singing stopped at Bian Lang's "la la, la la la..." sound, but the playing of the instruments did not stop.

However, many people have never seen this kind of unplugged rock performance. In addition, Bian Lang did not choose the kind of high-pitched songs that could easily expose the defects of the sound equipment, and his singing was stable, so whether it was live or in the live broadcast room, it was It's got rave reviews.

Although the little witch who was watching the live broadcast knew about this instrument, she had only seen it played by foreign amateur musicians who specialized in unplugged music. This was the first time she had seen someone playing this instrument in China. According to what she said to the veterans: "The number of people who see playing mubass in China is probably less than the number of people who heard that they won 500 million in the lottery!"

Bian Lang was a little forgetful when singing. Playing unplugged on this kind of stage was actually a brand new experience for him.

As for the layman who "passed the message" to Yuncun, he didn't know the deeper meaning of what Rolling Stone did. He only thought it was the result of his own work, and was still thinking about how to take credit for it.

In the eight or nine years between, so many bands disbanded.

Bian Lang remembered that it had been running for several years. Unfortunately, LeTV was still too conservative and did not spend much publicity resources. It was all about making money from advertisers.

Then several people stood up, carried their instruments and bowed off the stage, leaving only room for all kinds of imagination for those present.

The key is, this is a serious and genuine singing!

Since the Rolling Stones require more coordination than solo singing, and the more difficult performances do not use any back-up, then why do the singers behind them who only need to stand and output, need to lip-sync?

Of course, this logic is for singers with self-esteem and bottom line.

As for those who only know how to chase traffic and rely on cutting off fans, there is no pressure, and they may even contemptuously curse Rolling Stone in their hearts.

Although Bian Lang didn't say anything clearly, smart music fans can basically tell that those who sang and danced without any breath must be lip-synching.

After it is over, there will definitely be no shortage of discussions surrounding this topic...

As soon as the Rolling Stones arrived backstage, a staff member came trotting over: "Teachers, the tuning teacher would like to ask you to come over. I want to discuss the tuning of the next song."

When Dayong saw that it was not the one who just shied away the responsibility, he did not want to make things difficult for him, but it did not mean that they swallowed their breath: "You go back and tell the tuner, no need, we are satisfied with the treatment we have now. I don’t dare to ask for anything more.”

After listening to Dayong's words, Bian Lang, who didn't know what happened backstage just now, asked, "What's going on?"

"Didn't you notice that none of us have any hearing loss?"

Of course Bian Lang discovered this problem, but because he was not plugging in the power, he still used a microphone to collect the sound directly. In addition, Bian Lang performed too much in small live performances in his previous life and often did not have a return equipment, so even if he discovered it, he didn't pay much attention. .

Now when he heard Dayong ask this, he felt that the things here might not be simple.

"We at Rolling Stone have only been established for less than a year. We don't have earphone manufacturers to customize them, and we don't have dedicated microphones. We must make arrangements for this next year." As soon as these words came out, the staff really didn't know what to do. After answering the call, he didn't dare to stop him. He could only watch the Rolling Stones leave the backstage and return to the audience in front.

When the others were seated firmly, Dong Youbian came over and asked with concern: "What's going on? You don't even give me any feedback? You actually changed the repertoire that was agreed upon for the performance!"

Before Bian Lang could answer, Liu Yao said, "This is forcing us to lip-sync."

Hearing this, Bian Lang joked: "Ear Hui, it feels like his role in the Chinese music scene is the same as a temporary worker in the law enforcement department or a mental patient who has done bad things."

Interrupted by Bian Lang, the group of people around them couldn't hold back their laughter.

Several people are in the front row of the artists, and every move can be said to be under the surveillance of the camera, and right now the pop music awards are being awarded on the stage.

<divclass="contentadv">So this behavior of several people immediately attracted the attention of various media in front of them.

It feels like the cameras on the stage are not as much on their side.

Because it was an award for pop music, everyone knew it had nothing to do with them, and it was also the music genre with the most awards, so they just continued chatting quietly.

Liu Yao: "What are you going to do with that song later? Do you just follow the same routine?"

Bian Lang: "Well, when the time comes for our three guitars, plus Teacher Dong's violin, the effect will definitely be better than this one!"

After hearing what Bian Lang said, Liu Yao then asked: "Then when you came down, the director team didn't come to tell you anything?"

"A staff member said that the tuner was looking for us. He probably wanted to talk about pickups and tuning, but we ignored him. Anyway, we will do what we promised, but as for how to do it, that's up to us. It’s something!”

"Yes, they went too far this time. They didn't even say hello and forced people to lip-sync. Those of us who are prepared are better. Look at that folk singer..."

Speaking of the folk singer who was cheated, he is also very nervous now.

He is not afraid of being caught lip-synching by fans through the comparison with Rolling Stone. After all, he would not deny what he had done, but whether or not to tell the truth gave him a headache.

Let’s just say, it’s actually not very useful, and it’s hard to say that it will attract some negative fans to yourself. Moreover, the resources negotiated between the agent and Yuncun due to this matter will definitely be wasted!

Don't tell me, he feels aggrieved!

At this moment, Qiu Yue in front of him was heard saying to Bian Lang: "Bian Lang, this version of your arrangement is really back to nature. If there is nothing wrong with his sound, and he sings the chorus in a higher key, it will feel even better." Have power!"

As soon as Qiu Yue finished speaking, Dong You continued: "Actually, singing this song like this is almost like singing a folk song."

Upon hearing this, the folk singer was stunned, and then stretched his head over to join the discussion: "Teacher Bian, can you buy a license for this song just now? I don't do commercial performances, I just record a video for this incident. …”

……

There are a total of 10 awards for pop music, and this process takes almost an hour.

During this period, Bian Lang and the others were chatting all the time. When they heard that someone had won a prize, they did not hesitate to applaud.

It’s just that the director and photographer also understand “traffic”. A few times the live broadcast camera panned over and saw them chatting. Fans of the singer who was about to receive the award started saying that rock music was disrespectful.

As a result, Rolling Stone fans and passers-by who understood what was going on began to fight back:

"The Rolling Stones played Unplugged just now because they were forced by the organizer. Since they don't respect music or singers, then why should they respect the organizer!"

"I think the Rolling Stones did a good job of hosting them by not flipping the table and leaving. Is this what a music awards show should do, forcing people to lip-sync?"

"You're right. If it's a variety show, it's more or less fair. This is a music awards ceremony! If it's all about lip-syncing, where will the credibility of this award be in the future?"

"Stop talking about you guys. The Rolling Stones still have a show behind them. If it gets too big, be careful that the organizer will just stop the live broadcast and you won't be able to watch it."

As more people talked about it, the previous lip-synching incidents of the performers began to slowly spread on the Internet.

On the scene, it was the next guest singer's turn soon, and he and his manager were still arguing with the director backstage.

In the end, of course, the director team compromised.

The male singer did not leave immediately after singing, but said a word of thanks to Bian Lang: "I would like to specially thank the Rolling Stones and Mr. Bian Lang. The song they just played, I think, is not only rock music." The voices of people are also what those of us who are serious about making music want to say!”

The director looked at this scene, sighed, and was already thinking about how Yun Cun should deal with the aftermath.

After the Rolling Stones and others went down, he had asked the staff several times to ask Bianlang and others to come over and re-tune the sound. But the Rolling Stones' reply was always: "Just like that!"

This is obviously an attitude of not wanting to cooperate!

The key is to have Liu Yao behind him!

It’s really one wrong step, and then the next!

……

Next to be awarded are the three awards for the best lyrics, composition and arranger of the year.

Bian Lang missed out on the first two, and only the best arrangement was won by Bian Lang.

As for the final overall best song of the year, Bian Lang was mentally prepared before the award was announced.

"Shameless" is currently No. 1 on the music charts of the year, so he thinks there won't be any other changes to this award.

When the CEO of Yuncun said the title of "No Place to Shame", the Rolling Stones were filled with joy. But then, Yuncun's CEO actually said Liu Yao's name without gasping!

"Ah? Sister Yao? This..." Dayong was stunned upon hearing this!

However, the Rolling Stones reacted quickly and immediately clapped and congratulated Liu Yao to cover up the embarrassment of this moment.

I saw Liu Yao getting up. When she passed by Bian Lang, she paused intentionally and said to Bian Lang: "Thank you!"

This "thank you" Bian Lang is well-deserved. He personally feels okay about not receiving this award. Anyway, he, the original singer and songwriter, will not be less popular.

Another point is that this is not the Golden Melody Award in the middle of the year. The gold content is different, so naturally he doesn't care that much.

But he couldn't figure out why this award was given to Liu Yao?

Liu Yao did publish "Shameless", but now on the list, Liu Yao's version is ranked sixth. Bian Lang felt that no matter how many fans Liu Yao had, other data besides purchases would not be enough to make her version surpass Rolling Stone's.

Just when he was confused, he heard Liu Yao say on the stage: "I can win this award today. The person I need to thank the most is the songwriter and original singer of this song, Bian Lang! If it weren't for him to lead China Rock 29 did something that the rest of us did not have the courage to do, and I would not have made up my mind to sign an exclusive contract with Yuncun, so I would not have received this award today!"

At this point, Bian Lang reacted.

He was looking at the Chinese music rankings, and the statistics from Yuncun's awards ceremony were only within the platform, not the entire network!

Therefore, although Liu Yao's version of "No Place to Shame" ranked sixth, her copyright was exclusively licensed to Yuncun.

As for the Rolling Stone version's number one, that's the data from the entire network!

Of course, there is no such thing as goose egg music...
