Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 544: Love BJ More Than BJ People

Bian Lang believed that Zhang Fan did this on purpose because of the video incident in the morning.

But as a family, Bian Lang thinks it is best to be able to quarrel but not break up. If a family treats each other with respect all day long, what is the difference between them and "acquaintances"?

However, Zhang's mother, who was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, gave her son a killing look and said, "That's not bad. Old people are more caring. These stars should be much better maintained than ordinary people like us. It's no problem for them to have babies at 40."

Once the two elders reach a consensus on this kind of issue, there will be a lot of topics to talk about. However, Bian Hai and Zhang's father were a little dumbfounded!

As for Bian Lang, he couldn't say that he had no reaction at all, but he didn't think too much about it. Having lived two lives, he knew very well that in such a happy family scene, it was enough for the old man to be happy.

He focused his energy on listening to Guo Sichu's singing and decided not to interfere too much with Dong Youbian's development as Bian Lang. He regarded Guo Sichu as an important candidate to be a tool for reproducing the classic songs of the original Earth.

This was the first time he listened to the live broadcast of Guo Sichu's professional stage. In the ears of these professional players, the sound quality of the live performance and that of the equipment were completely different.

There is a huge difference between the on-site sound field environment and the sound that comes out after transmission.

To give a simple example, the sound of Guo Sichu’s singing after transmission has the same effect as what Bian Lang is singing in the living room now.

The live sound is just like the effect of Bian Lang singing in relatively small places like bathrooms and stairwells with stronger reverberation.

From the ear feel point of view, of course the one with strong reverberation sounds better, but for those with built-in reverberation, the difference is not that big.

Therefore, many music variety shows and evening shows adjust the sound in part to restore the live effect of the performance as much as possible. Of course, some people adjust the sound without limit for the effect of the show.

For example, Xie Pineapple from the Original Earth, even managed to perform electronic music on a certain inspirational variety show, and even said that he wanted to fulfill his dream of singing and dancing.

Originally I read the news for fun, but ended up being annoyed by the big data. The key point is that someone even suggested that they invite their band to perform accompaniment for Xie Pineapple.

Bian Lang was so angry at that time that he immediately gave Xie Pineapple a brilliant suggestion on Weibo: "Teacher Xie, don't you have over 100 million fans on the Internet and are the most popular person? With your size, the show can't accommodate a big Buddha like you. Why don't you hold a solo concert at the Malanshan base camp? Then no one will care how you sing and dance!"

Then within a few minutes, the comment section of Bian Lang’s Weibo was flooded with Xie Pineapple’s fans, and less than half an hour later, his Weibo was reported and banned.

We are getting off topic and let’s get back to Guo Sichu’s voice. BJ TV did not edit the sound according to Guo Sichu’s request.

It sounds like Bian Lang is not much different from his live performance. He starts with A5 and his pronunciation is steady and accurate.

For many singers, the difficulty lies not in the high notes of the chorus, nor in the emotional buildup and progression in the middle of the verse, but in the beginning.

Especially many singers who have been famous for many years, because they did not pay attention when they were young, overused their voices and did not pay attention to maintenance. When the function of the voice declines in middle age, they begin to have a hoarse voice.

Once my voice breaks, I’ll start to worry and get nervous when performing live, fearing that I won’t be able to give the best performance to my fans.

Of course, this only applies to those who have aspirations. Those who are just trying to make a profit do not count.

In this situation, the situation on the scene will fluctuate greatly, and once a car fails, the mentality will become more and more unstable.

Some can adjust, some just...

Obviously, Guo Sichu is not among them.

But it is obvious that Guo Sichu's singing this time does not have the relaxed feeling on the stage that he has in variety shows.

Compared with her performance on Old Yin Mountain, Bian Lang felt that was the true state of Guo Sichu, the queen of singing. Recalling the state of Guo Sichu's voice at that time, a song rang in Bian Lang's mind: "Give you a CD from the past, listen to our love at that time, sometimes I suddenly forget that I still love you..."

As soon as the queen of singing appeared, BJ TV’s ratings dominated the eve of the Spring Festival.

Old Zheng had already returned home to reunite with his family. Looking at Guo Sichu, who was performing as steady as an old dog, he began to show off in front of his family: "Look at this, what do you mean by face? This is the singing queen Guo Sichu, other satellite TV stations can't invite her even if they pay!"

His wife and daughter just couldn't stand his boasting. They exchanged glances, and then his wife spoke up, "It's like you're very familiar with Guo Sichu. If it weren't for Bian Lang and Rolling Stone, why didn't you invite them to your party a few years ago?"

Old Zheng was not annoyed. He ate the ham slices sent by Rolling Stone as a New Year gift and drank the Maotai that he had kept for a while. He said proudly, "In the final analysis, it was me who went to find Old Tan first to establish a relationship with him. That's how we were able to cooperate with him later. Guo Sichu also agreed to our cooperation for Bian Lang's sake!"

The logical chain is correct, but as Old Zheng's wife said, Guo Sichu definitely attended the party just for Bian Lang's sake.

In Guo Sichu's opinion, it was absolutely worth it for Bian Lang to customize a song for him.

At this moment, she was drinking red wine, eating skewers and watching the evening party with Liu Yao in BJ's nest: "How was the singing? Did you feel better than before?"

Liu Yao wasn't sure whether Guo Sichu's singing skills had improved, but the fit between this song and Guo Sichu was undoubtedly the best she had heard in the past few years.

This gave her the feeling that "besides Guo Sichu, there is no other version worth listening to!"

Hearing this compliment, Guo Sichu, who was curled up on the lazy sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand, laughed so hard that his body shook with laughter: "Sister Yao, your voice is so beautiful. What should I do if I want to hear more of it?"

"Get lost! I don't know what kind of shit luck you have, that Bian Lang actually let this song slip into your hands?"

Guo Sichu knew what Liu Yao meant by that, so she replied without even thinking, "Bian Lang is a person who understands music 100%. Even if this song is given to Dong Youbian, she won't be able to sing it well!

She can sing songs about love, literature and art with a feeling that only Dong Youbian can have, but it is difficult for her to handle works like "To the Clouds"! "

Liu Yao actually shared the same view: "Indeed, Bian Lang really understands her, and all the songs he gave her are plus points! By the way, Fruit TV should have invited you, right? For the music variety show that will be recorded after the New Year..."

"It's boring. If Lao Liu and Bian Lang and the others were to go, then I would consider it. But with the invitation list they have drawn up now, I really don't have any desire! Why, are you still considering it?"

When asked that question, Liu Yao was stunned for a moment, then he said leisurely: "I want to bring the band with me, and they gave me a contract to the finals..."

"So kind? The conditions should be quite high, right?"

Just as Guo Sichu expected, Fruit TV was able to offer this kind of guaranteed contract in advance, and the conditions were of course clear: "They have to cover at least three Rolling Stones songs and release a new song.

It’s easy to sing a cover, but I’m not sure about this new song…”

Guo Sichu felt the same way: "Who wouldn't want one? Bian Lang did agree to give me one, but he's not sure when. How about this, if you really want to go, tell me when you're sure, and I'll go talk to Bian Lang about it."

Liu Yao didn't know about this in advance. She just said it casually and had no intention of coming here to ask for help or resources.

She knew better than Guo Sichu how difficult it was to customize a song for Bian Lang. Especially if it was her song, it had to be rock and roll, and it definitely couldn't be something like "Towards the Clouds".

So even though they were close friends, she refused without a second thought: "No, I know your album is still missing a hit song, and since he agreed to customize it for you, you should seize this opportunity to squeeze out his potential.

I feel like he just doesn’t like writing pop songs. If he gets serious about it, it will definitely be much higher than this level.”

Guo Sichu absolutely agreed with this point. He didn't believe that Bian Lang could write a work like "Dream Man". "To the Clouds" was the pinnacle of his pop song writing.

That's right, although the song "Dream Man" sung by Bian Lang and Dong Youbian by the Lugu Lake has not been officially released and there are not many videos circulating on the Internet, Liu Dawei, who recorded the original video, showed it to her privately during the recording of the variety show.

She was immediately attracted to the song and even practiced it privately. However, Cantonese was not her strong point, otherwise she really wanted to talk to Bian Lang and ask him to buy the song.

"In terms of being casual, I used to think I was number one in the entire circle, but who knew there would be such a monster like Bian Lang. He actually casually played a song like 'Dream Man' during a break in his performance at Lugu Lake. And 'Send Flowing Water' was actually written at the award ceremony to satirize the organizers. It's really..."

"Speaking of this, when he came to me to discuss it, I felt like I had wasted the past 20 years. And the performance he arranged for Dili, I think it was a great thing that really gave rock a good name! You don't know, after watching Dili's performance, the old guys in our band are now studying crossover like Lai Mo..."

More than an hour passed as the two chatted, and the Spring Festival Gala on BJ TV was coming to an end.

Liu Yi, who was on duty at the station to check the data, was now quite satisfied. Although the ratings were cut in half after Guo Sichu, it was still firmly at the top of the major competitors.

Moreover, the situation in the past where Fruit Channel and Blue Channel competed for the top spot and other satellite TV stations could only compete for the third place has changed greatly this time.

Fruit Channel is still very competitive, but the gap between it and BJ's first place is still quite large. As for Blue Channel, which spent the first budget to create a super traffic lineup, it was firmly suppressed by Shanghai and Guangdong Province and ranked fifth.

Although it may sound a bit absolute, all of these are closely related to Bian Lang.

According to Liu Yi's own feeling, the entertainment industry, where traffic is king, is quietly undergoing some small changes.

It’s not that the traffic is not good enough, but traffic alone is not enough.

This may be the most direct change that Bian Lang has brought to the entire Chinese music scene in the past six months.

"Fruit Channel also has a Korean band and the King of Songs, and we also have the Rolling Stones to back us up. I think the top spot is secure."

The assistant nodded after hearing what Liu Yi said, "Indeed, the song that the Rolling Stones are going to sing is already quite popular. Obviously, everyone was not satisfied with the effect on a small stage like Jingwei. Many people are waiting to see the Rolling Stones perform this classic on a big stage this time..."

When saying this, the assistant's tone was naturally filled with admiration.

As a native of BJ, his feelings for this city are needless to say. They are definitely much stronger than those of Bian Lang, an outsider who has been here for two lifetimes.

But his feelings for BJ were more of a blood connection, and his best memories were from his childhood. After graduating from college and entering the social animal farm, his feelings for BJ had long since worn off.

The realistic and sad word "escape" has appeared in his mind more than once.

But Bian Lang's song "One night in beijing" once again brought back his feelings of reluctance to leave his hometown.

"I don't dare to ask for directions at midnight, for fear of ending up at Di'anmen Square..."

"People say that deep in the land of flowers..."

This is written from the perspective of an outsider, and he thinks BJ city is the most provocative and profound!

If "Bell and Drum Tower" is Bian Lang's voice for the old Beijingers, and he wrote about the fireworks of the old Beijing hidden in the alleys at the foot of the imperial city, then "One Night in Beijing" is a song from a foreigner's perspective, singing out the absolute imperial power of Beijing's indelible cultural heritage in the hearts of the Chinese people!

Especially when I was watching the live recording that day, my palms were clapping so hard that they hurt, and two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably down my cheeks and in my heart.

While he was thinking about this, Liu Yi patted him lightly and said, "Don't be in a daze. It's almost time for Rolling Stone. Are you ready for the hot search?"

After coming to his senses, he started to search for operations on the computer. After a while, he said to Liu Yi with joy but helplessness: "Liu Dao, the fans have spontaneously given us the top spot. What do you think we should do then?"

When Liu Yi heard this, he took the notebook from the assistant and was shocked!

Although there were some differences between the topics they planned to buy, the goals and effects had basically been achieved.

"Buy it, why not? It's just icing on the cake, isn't it? Besides, there is a budget, and the money saved can't be used to give out bonuses. I just want to increase the popularity, so that when Lao Zheng asks for credit, he will have a stronger back!"

So, when the Rolling Stones were halfway through their song, there were already no less than 10 hot searches related to the Rolling Stones on Weibo, half of which came from BJ TV alone.

A large number of BJ fans who had not heard of this song before started to express their opinions on the Internet.

"A stranger could write a song that made even a BJ like me cry and shed tears. He really put a lot of effort into it!"

"From 'My home is inside the Second Ring Road' to 'I don't dare to ask for directions at midnight, for fear of walking into the depths of Baihua', it feels like he loves Beijing more than I do as a Beijinger..."

Some merchants with a keen sense of smell have started marketing by taking advantage of this topic:

"Rolling Stone, my name is Dong Lai Shun, you can call me Shun Shun. When you come to BJ, just come to my house for dinner!"

"Rolling Stone, let me introduce myself. My name is Quanjude. If Xiao Shunzi's family is not satisfied, come to my Sandezi place. I will serve you roast duck..."
