Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 396 Aolong Double Drive

Although it was already early in the morning, the Xiaopo Station staff led by Chen Bing and Chen Bing arrived at the airport to pick up a group of Rolling Stones. Among them, Chen Shuting, who had arrived early, was also standing with him.

Seeing Sister Chen, Zhou Ketong began to feel a little weak. She was trained as an agent. In the matter that just ended, she basically had no effort.

On the plane, she thought about how to explain this matter to Chen Shuting when she saw her.

Before getting in the car, she found an opportunity to pull Chen Shuting aside alone and said sincerely: "Sister Chen, I'm sorry!"

When Chen Shuting heard this, she put her hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay. After this incident, you should be very clear about the bottom line of the Rolling Stones, right? When you encounter this kind of situation again in the future, you should remember this That’s our bottom line as a Rolling Stone.”

"Well, I remember it, Sister Chen!"

After getting in the car, Chen Shuting talked about it in front of Chen Bing.

Chen Bing thought about the bad things that happened in his company before, and couldn't help but sigh: "These young people who have just left school are good. At least they have a sense of shame and will come to admit their mistakes. If those old guys in the workplace are like this, it will be a good thing He just knows how to keep trying, and as long as you don’t mention the bad things, it feels like it has nothing to do with him!”

Bian Lang and Chen Shuting knew there was something in their words, so they smiled and said nothing.

Then Chen Bing said: "The current configuration of the Rolling Stones is really enviable. The sound mixing team is handled by two top producers. If we had known that this was the case, we would not have hired the sound manager alone." After working, who will earn this money?"

What music fans are talking about about Wang Zhe is his signature transposition. After singing this song, not to mention the simple ones, the last line is as difficult for ordinary singers as the eighteen bends on the mountain road to the sky. When Bian Lang listened, he knew that this person was not good at it. Very laborious.

Listening to the argument between the two, the other musicians in the program "Between Fingers" felt speechless.

……

After another song came next, Wang Zhe took off his ears and went back to communicate with the tuner.

But when the tuner faced these requirements made by Wang Zhe, he was inexplicably upset after working for eight or nine hours in a row. He immediately said: "Teacher Wang Zhe, you are not a live accompaniment of the band. Plus, you are a live accompaniment of the band." There are only three tracks in total for your piano playing. Unless someone separates the main accompaniment track for you, I won’t be able to fulfill your request."

Faced with Olaf's request, Liu Ziyang said without giving in: "Olav, I respect your professionalism very much, but your understanding of Chinese music is not as good as mine. "Drunk Mania" and "House of Flying Daggers" are Ancient Chinese music, "Horse Racing" and "Fishing Boat Sings Evening" are also Chinese-style music. Do you think you can do it better than me, a native Chinese?"

At this point, even Olaf had to pinch his nose to recognize this, but he also had a reason to refuse: "Liu, you are right, but don't forget that the main body of the performance of "Fingertips" is electronic The guitar also needs to be coordinated with the strings. At this point, I think I’m more suitable than you!”

After a final discussion, the two parties decided to let the Rolling Stones rest first and come back for rehearsal at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.

The rehearsals of Xiaopo Station are not exactly in the order of performances like the Rolling Stones music. They are constantly adjusted according to factors such as the time of each artist and the location of the stars. The recording will start at 45pm tomorrow. The Rolling Stones The performances of the three groups are not adjacent to each other, and the total time is about minutes, but the rehearsal can be done in one go.

The point is, if someone else's program can ask one of these two to do the live sound mixing, it's already a big deal. And the Rolling Stones are two great masters competing for work here, how can people not? Envy and jealousy!

After hearing this introduction, Bian Lang felt that Xiaopozhan's strategy of playing the emotional card was indeed implemented quite well.

Bian Lang didn't know that Liu Ziyang was also here, and he didn't react for a moment after hearing this. After Chen Shuting explained it to him, he smiled and said: "Then I'll thank Director Chen first, and you can do it next year." When the time comes, we at Rolling Stone will definitely support you!"

When Wang Zhe heard this, he fell into deep thought. Thinking that there was someone behind him waiting to rehearse, he smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you first, the sound teacher!" Then he asked his assistant to take a picture of the sound on the mixing table. Write down the data in the picture, and then prepare to go to the lounge to think about whether there is any solution.

This time he made some new arrangements of old songs. In addition to wanting to give music fans something new, he also wanted to do some promotion for his concert this year, so he wanted to make the scene as perfect as possible. Some.

The dispute between the two was finally resolved when Bian Lang arrived, and Bian Lang asked Liu Ziyang to be solely responsible for Dong Youbian's performance. Dili's "Between Fingers" is a collaboration between two people. As for the Rolling Stones program, Olaf, who has collaborated more with the Stones, is in charge.

The string player Dong Shuxian hired was biased towards Olaf, but he also quite recognized Liu Ziyang's achievements in China. The group of folk musicians hired by the Magic City Folk Orchestra are more inclined to his compatriot Liu Ziyang, but Olaf is right...

"Liu, I'm glad that we can work together, but this time Wave appointed me to be in charge of this performance. We can work together, but you have to listen to me."

At the rehearsal scene at this time, Liu Ziyang and Olaf were looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

From then on, the music producer Shuangqi, whom the Rolling Stones later called "Aolong", officially began to step onto the big stage of the Chinese music scene.

After a good night's rest, at 6: the next morning, a group of people from the Rolling Stones appeared in the studio. Now on the stage, a first-line male singer named Wang Zhe was rehearsing on the stage. Watching him playing and singing in front of the grand piano, Chen Shuting, who knew that Bian Lang was not very familiar with the pop circle, gave him some knowledge: "This is the Bay Area." There is a singer from the other side of the bay. He used to be very good at playing rhythm and blues, and he was popular for a while, but then he had some problems with his voice, and he has less time to perform in the past few years..."

Bian Lang knew that Xiaopo Station wanted to give them more time to rest, so he agreed.

Olaf, who was standing aside, had just heard the conversation between the two. Looking at Wang Zhe's unwilling expression, he asked Liu Ziyang next to him: "Liu, what level is this singer in China?"

"A first-line singer, but because of some problems with her voice before, she hasn't released any new works in a few years. This time is probably the first time she has attended such a large-scale performance in the past few years. She probably just thought she wouldn't perform for a long time. , this time we can give music fans a better live experience.”

Liu Ziyang didn't pay much attention just now, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with Wang Zhe and the tuner.

But Olaf listened carefully. Wang Zhe himself used live piano performance to replace the keyboard in the original accompaniment, but there are differences between live and recording. Wang Zhe also likes to do some improvisational things live, so It is inevitable that there will be some conflict with the keyboard sound in the original accompaniment.

If the audience is generally not able to hear this, even if they are professionals and do not listen carefully, they may not be able to hear it.

But Wang Zhe brought it up herself, which proves that she is a singer who has requirements for her own production. Faced with Wang Zhe, a musician who had the same production requirements as Bian Lang, Olaf wanted to help him.

<divclass="contentadv">Now that he has come to China, except for the Rolling Stones, he has almost no other interpersonal relationships. He also wants to make more friends in the circle, whether it is for the company or for himself. …

After thinking about this clearly, he caught up and called Wang Zhe.

Just as he was about to introduce himself, Wang Zhe called out his name: "Mr. Olaf, what do you want from me?"

Although Wang Zhe had already guessed something, he acted quite reserved before getting confirmation.

"Mr. Wang, it would be great if you knew me. I think I might be able to help you solve the problem you encountered!"

Hearing what Olaf said, Wang Zhe immediately started to get excited: "That's great. This won't delay your work, right?"

"If it's convenient, you can give me the accompaniment. I'll have time to get it for you after I finish it. Before the official performance starts, we should still have time..."

Hearing what Olaf said, Wang Zhe smiled and said: "It's not inconvenient! Thank you very much for your help!"

"You're welcome. You are as respectable a musician as Wave. I very much hope that you can become our friend of Rolling Stone Music in the future..."

Wang Zhe also laughed when he heard this: "I think there is no one in the Chinese music world today who would not want to be friends with the Rolling Stones."

After handing the accompaniment to Olaf, Wang Zhe thought for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​taking a rest, and headed towards the auditorium in the direction of Bian Lang.

The Rolling Stones were rehearsing from Dong Zuoyuan's performance, so Bian Lang was still watching from the audience at this time.

When Wang Zhe came over, he saw Bian Lang paying attention to the stage, so he and his assistant found a seat nearby without disturbing him.

After Dong You finished singing a song, and while communicating with Liu Ziyang, he went up to say hello to Bian Lang.

"Hello Bianlang, Mr. Olaf just now...thank you!"

After listening to Wang Zhe's explanation of his purpose, Bian Lang reached out and shook Wang Zhe's hand, and then joked: "It's okay, just remember to pay us Rolling Stone."

Wang Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's for sure! I watched the video of the award ceremony last night, and I also watched the video of Yuncun's apology. If I encountered such a problem, maybe I just gave up the opportunity to perform this time. I didn’t expect that the Rolling Stones could still find a way to complete the performance so perfectly. It’s really amazing!”

Facing the compliment, Bian Lang responded: "You are also very good. If I had done that transposition just now, my vocal cords would probably be knotted!"

Although Bian Lang's description is a bit exaggerated, he didn't lie. If he sang it by himself, there would be no problem if he sang it two or three times, but if he sang it seven, eight or even ten times like Wang Zhe, he really wouldn't have any problem. That ability.

Wang Zhe didn't expect that Bian Lang was actually listening to his rehearsal attentively, and continued curiously: "I haven't performed on such a large stage for a while, what do you think of my state just now..."

Once the two started chatting, they couldn't stop. It wasn't until Dong You finished singing the two songs that Bian Lang politely ended the conversation: "Now it's our turn to play. If you've been here all this time, You can give us some advice!”

On the surface, Wang Zhe agreed, but in his heart he was muttering: "How many people in the current Chinese music scene can give you Bianlang and Rolling Stone advice?"

Although "Between Fingers" is the main focus, in the section of "Yun Gong Xun Yin", a band without three guitars would be completely unable to show the essence of this piece, so this time Strauss was added. The new lineup of Rolling Stones, including the band, made its first appearance on the Chinese stage.

Of course, there is also the last piece "Blue Lotus". It is impossible for one person to perfectly display this piece in front of the audience just by hard work.

Because of this program, with the help of Chen Shuting, both Fender and Ovation sponsored the party. This is also the first time for a foreign musical instrument brand to sponsor a domestic evening party program.

Moreover, two musical instrument brands of the same category sponsored the same performance, which was also the first time for Aqua Blue Star.

But it was Bian Lang who came up with this idea, and the two brands’ flagship products are also different.

Looking at the dozens of various guitars on the stage, the director of Xiaopozhan's investment department still thinks it's a bit fantasy!

Although Li Li has a lot of stage experience, and he has been practicing seriously after the program was finalized, but when it came to the official rehearsal, he felt a little nervous.

He was nervous because he didn't want to disappoint Bian Lang and the audience.

When Li Li, who was carrying an electric guitar, played "Drunkard" with Ovation's double-headed Hawaiian guitar, Wang Zhe just wanted to say: "It has to be the Rolling Stones! We are all thinking about how to do what we are good at. As the field continues to make breakthroughs, he has already begun to adapt ancient music."

When the one at the back that imitated the sound of a horse was pulled out by the rocker, no one who was there was not surprised!

As soon as the "Yun Gong Xun Yin" part came out, coupled with the naked-eye 3D projection of Shui Lanxing's "Journey to the West", Wang Zhe couldn't help but shout out: "This new soundtrack, I feel, is more suitable for this animation! "

By the time he finished displaying all the eighteen martial arts skills, he was already sweating profusely. Faced with the applause of everyone on the stage and off, he breathed a long sigh of relief and then said to Bian Lang: "How's it going brother?"

Bian Lang gave him a thumbs up, and then said: "I think your condition is still a little tight. When the official recording starts, I think you can add some sunglasses!"
