Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

"What the hell is this?" This is the most intuitive feeling many people have when they hear this.

At the beginning, Rowling was the one who shook his head the most, but when it came to the area he was most familiar with, he felt that rap and other things were all nonsense, this was a thorough heavy metal song.

But as soon as Helen started talking, he was stunned: "Is this the level of the questions in the Chinese Level 10 listening test?"

But after catching up with the lyrics on the screen, his admiration for Bian Lang became as endless as the surging river.

Heavy metal, traditional Chinese style, and rap. Before Bian Lang came up with these three elements, Luo Lin estimated that no one in the circle had ever thought of really combining them together!

Not only did Bian Lang think about it, he also really did it, and he even performed at such a high level. It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it makes people despair, but at least he felt that he couldn't do it even if he wanted to.

The one who was more shocked than him was the commander. After listening to Ai Hao's story, he finally accepted the fact that Bian Lang had rapped a metal Chinese style song.

But he had no idea how these three elements would be combined together?

When the lyrics of this Chinese song were performed with the rhythm of rap, the words that popped into his mind were: "Can it be played like this?"

Later, when Old Wu picked up the small gong and gave the introductory remarks, he felt that this song was even more extraordinary.

If you want to call it rap, then it is indeed! Because the vocal part is all about rhythm and flow, there is no such thing as tune at all.

But this arrangement is totally not what should be in the current Chinese rap circle.

In this regard, these things in the audience give rappers more say!

In their usual practice, when they make their own accompaniment, they first select the Loop, and then start adding various simulator instruments. If you don’t listen to the vocal part, to put it bluntly, they are not as good as those DJs who play records.

But what is playing on the stage now?

The top domestic rock band is playing accompaniment! And the lyrics actually tell a story with a sense of scene!

The key point is the last sentence of the main song: "I want to go to Songshan Mountain in Henan to learn Shaolin and Wudang..." It's not that they can't write such words, it's that they have never thought about it!

"What am I doing (making a maggot), what am I doing (making a maggot)... Breathe in and out, feel at ease..."

When hearing this line, 99% of the people in the audience probably didn’t understand what they were singing even if they looked at the subtitles.

But for some of those who understood that it was Hakka dialect, the feeling was very different.

The lyrics now give people the feeling of showing the civilization of Chinese martial arts. Hakka is also known as the living fossil of ancient Chinese in the Central Plains of Tang and Song dynasties.

Plus Hakka boxing...

“Is there really no ceiling or language barrier for Bian Lang’s music creation?”

Although they are just three simple words, when it comes to the original meaning of the words, pronunciation, rhyme and so on, the talent for language creation displayed in them is not that simple.

After all, Hakka is not the southwestern Mandarin like the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan dialects, but if you speak it slowly you can still understand some of its meaning.

Hakka is completely different. Anyone who does not understand the language, even if they are Chinese, will think Hakka is a foreign language, just like a foreigner.

But Bian Lang unexpectedly added it into the lyrics, and there was no sense of incongruity in either the pronunciation or the meaning it expressed.

At least among the rappers present, no one would have thought about writing lyrics before.

"What are you doing (making a horse cover), what are you doing (making a horse cover)... Qi sinks into Dantian and the palms open...

"What are you doing (making a horse cover), what are you doing (making a horse cover)...Traveling a thousand miles a day to tie a sandbag...Flying over eaves and walls, don't be surprised, it comes and goes..."

After hearing this, even the most argumentative people at the scene felt like they were looking up to Bian Lang.

Especially those who previously thought that Bian Lang wrote rap just for fun, whether in words or in their hearts, now they all want to slap themselves in the face!

"Does Bian Lang not know how to write rap? He is simply attacking from a lower dimension!"

"Haha, I shouldn't have gotten involved with Helun at the time. I should have asked the company to sound out the situation and then snatched the song from Helun!"

"This is definitely a groundbreaking work that opens up a new genre! Is Helun's ancestors really happy?"

“Haha! No wonder the Rolling Stones were invited to perform live accompaniment. The live effect is so explosive!”

Those rappers who had previously held a disdainful attitude now began to dance to Dayong's explosive metal drum beats.

"A horse step forward, a left hook and a right hook, a sentence that anyone who irritates me is in danger, repeated again and again... a cigarette that I don't smoke, put away for many years, it has always been with me..."

Compared to the current scenes where single rhyme or double rhyme can cause the whole audience to scream, this section keeps following the rhyme of an, which is so awesome and powerful that it is unreasonable.

"What are you doing (making a magai)... What are you doing (making a magai)... I open the Ren and Du meridians...

What are you doing (making a MacGyver)… What are you doing (making a MacGyver)… The sign of the sick man of East Asia…

What are you doing (making a horse cover)... What are you doing (making a horse cover)... I kicked you away, humph!"

As soon as these two sentences came out, the image that came into the minds of the original Earth listeners was either Bruce Lee or Jet Li.

The scene in the movie where Chen Zhen kicked the plaque "Sick Man of East Asia" into pieces not only kicked in a new era, but also kicked out the Chinese nation's strong national self-confidence and cohesion.

As for the Blue Water Star, whether it was the audience on site or online, everyone had an urge to take a crack at it.

I wish I had a sign like this in front of me, or a little islander, to show off my skills and satisfy my desire to vent.

For some people with strong execution ability, the body's reaction has already given a direct answer.

She kicked the socket away; she kicked the wall and knocked her wheelchair over; she kicked her boyfriend off the bed...

Fortunately, the last kick was not to an important part, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Hurry up and use the nunchaku, hehehe... Hurry up and use the nunchaku, hehehe... People who practice martial arts should remember that the benevolent are invincible. Who is practicing Tai Chi and is so successful..."

Although the song is sung at a fast tempo, the rhythm and lyrics of the chorus are so magical that you can't forget them once you hear them. Under the instigation of the wheels, many people in the audience were able to sing along.

After singing the complete chorus again, the interlude that was supposed to appear finally came.

While everyone was still immersed in the exciting atmosphere brought by the lyrics and drum beats, the performance of other instruments suddenly stopped.

I saw that Old Wu, who was holding the gong before, had changed to the erhu at some point. He swung his long gown and a solo on the erhu poured out like a mountain stream, and the rock fans at the scene began to cheer.

Compared to rappers who pay more attention to lyrics, they focus more on the arrangement.

They really enjoyed listening to Dayong's metal drum beats, which had always been of high standard.

But they have been spoiled by Bian Lang and think that this is a routine operation. Even if you use it in rap, it can only be said to be an unprecedented crossover. As for the arrangement, there are not many surprises.

But as soon as the erhu solo came out, the familiar feeling of being completely out of control and wanting to accurately express my feelings by swearing came back!

Guo Sichu and the commander said at the same time: "This arrangement, how can a normal person come up with it!"

Guo Sichu added: "If this song doesn't win the Best Arrangement Award at the Golden Melody Awards next year, my name, Guo Sichu, will be written backwards!"

There are quite a few people who share the same idea as Guo Sichu, and they are all top-notch people in the circle.

There is no need to talk about Olaf and Liu Ziyang, both of whom have been heard of for a long time.

Ma Yuan was sighing as he watched.

Ever since the incident of going to sea, Ma's wife has said that as long as Bian Lang releases a new song, her husband Ma will become a shrew.

At this moment, Ma Yuan's heart is as excited as every Chinese musician who has a pure musical dream.

Regarding the arrangement of this song, they feel that simply defining it as rock or rap may be too one-sided. This song is likely to become a weather vane for future Chinese pop music.

This is not the first time that Bian Lang has tried to add traditional instruments to his music, but his previous songs like "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" were all standard pure rock. The difficulty is there, and some people can only listen to it even if they like it.

If the song is not popular, many people in the circle will have less motivation to learn this style.

But this song "Nunchucks" is different. You can sing along after practicing ventriloquism. If your tongue doesn't have a motor, then lower the tempo a bit. If the arrangement is not that good, then change other chords according to this template...

In short, they firmly believe that since Bian Lang has put forward this idea, people who are interested will naturally study and learn from it and work together to expand this business!

The sound of the erhu continued, and the three major instruments of rock music entered again. Helun on the stage danced with nunchakus again, raised the microphone high, and used the most powerful force he had ever exerted in his life of playing hip-hop: "Hurry up and use the nunchakus, hum hum ha ha... Hurry up and use the nunchakus, hum hum ha ha..."

After the erhu became the "leading" instrument, the Chinese style of this arrangement became even more obvious.

There was a kung fu blogger on the small broken website. He was watching a live broadcast while broadcasting himself playing with nunchakus. In the past, there were only a hundred or so people in the live broadcast room, but inexplicably, thousands or tens of thousands of netizens came in.

While he was excited, his mood was the same as what the netizens in the live broadcast room said: "The song is good! It's just that Helun's moves were too perfunctory, so the blogger should just make a video of the timing!"

"Those who practice martial arts should remember that the benevolent are invincible... Who is practicing Tai Chi and is so successful..."

As soon as this line of lyrics came out, the kung fu blogger named Xiang You gave a thumbs up to Bian Lang in his heart!

He graduated from Shaolin Martial Arts School and had worked as a stunt double for several years. As a result, he was injured all over and never got a chance to appear in public. So he followed his wife back to her hometown in a small county and opened a training class.

When there are no students in class, he would start a live broadcast, which not only promotes Chinese martial arts culture, but also earns some money from tips.

But the content is always the same. After a long time, not only do the fans not like to watch it, even he himself feels a little unenthusiastic.

But when Bian Lang came up with the song "Nunchucks", he suddenly had a new idea. It's hard to say whether he could design a set of movements based on Bian Lang's song...

After another chorus ended, the musicians on the stage paused again, and Hua Yan, under the spotlight, played a piece of classical piano like mercury pouring out of the ground.

Although this short interlude is not long, only 11 seconds, this flash of inspiration brings the style of the entire song to a level that is difficult for ordinary musicians to achieve.

Just like what is written in the lyrics of this song, "I only like the nunchaku's soft yet hard aspects", all other parts are hard, and this fresh and refined classical piano part is soft.

Another Chinese saying is that the way of literature and martial arts requires alternating between relaxation and tension. Most of the song is about martial arts, and the literary part is played by this piano.

Guo Sichu closed his eyes and enjoyed the piano music. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the commander, only to see that the commander was still enjoying it with his eyes closed.

Luo Lin immediately sighed, "Bian Lang is such a beast. This summer, I must ask him to write a new song for me."

"Are you going to let him beat himself?" Guo Sichu said with a smile.

"Just tell me, we old noobs, with our old tricks, really can't beat him. It would be better for us to just be his tools and let him fight himself. Isn't that exciting? I guess the fans would like to watch it too..."

Luo Lin just said that, but Guo Sichu, who was already a super fan, remembered it. No matter whether others like it or not, she was very happy to hear about it.

After this piano piece ended, the chorus that made the whole audience excited came again: "Hurry up and use the nunchakus, hum hum ha ha... Hurry up and use the nunchakus, hum hum ha ha..."

After repeating six or seven sentences in a row, the fans at the scene were basically driven crazy by the Rolling Stones and Heron.

Although the climax is exciting, not everyone can withstand the continuous climax.

Fortunately, because of the appearance of this song, the differences between hip-hop fans and rock fans who used to dislike each other are no longer a problem.

Now there is only one god in their hearts, and that is Bian Lang!

As for Helun's role, they automatically ignored it.

"Use your nunchakus quickly, hmph! I'll defend with my hand knife, hmph! Nice roundhouse kick..."

Originally, He Lun's stage design for today was to end with a roundhouse kick, but he had no basic skills, so he found a trainer at the last minute. The trainer looked at his body shape and shook his head, saying, "Young man, go to the gym first and work out your belly. With your current physique, even if I teach you, I don't think your lower body can withstand it..."

If Bian Lang heard this, he would have to argue with the master: "You are too arbitrary. Where do you put Master Hong Jinbao?"

Hei Lun was also self-aware. Since his master had said so clearly, he gave up. Anyway, Kou Yong had already entrusted all subsequent production to Rolling Stone. According to what Bian Lang said, he must hire someone who knows real kung fu to shoot a good MV for this song.

But today, he was completely high, watching so many fans following him. The most important thing was that the Rolling Stones were accompanying him live. He felt that he would only be able to enjoy this kind of scene once in his life.

In a flash, he decided to give it a try, no matter what the result was, to add something different to the highlight of his singing career.

So, when the outro started after the vocal part, whether it was the fans at the scene or on the Internet, they watched the nearly 200-pound fat man on the stage squat, turn sideways, lift his foot, and perform a roundhouse kick that they will never forget...
