Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

When this was said, no one except Bian Lang could have anticipated what kind of impact this song would have on the Coldplay band, nor could they have imagined that this song would make music fans all over the world, for the first time, start to seriously and widely learn about modern Chinese music.

On the stage next to Bian Lang, Guo Sichu, who had already put on a name tag to sing harmony for Hedgehog, joked to Bian Lang after hearing this: "You've only been famous for half a year, why do you feel like you're going to be the godfather of rock music?"

"I don't want to do that. It seems that professions like Godfather never have a good ending!" Bian Lang said jokingly.

Ding Ding walked up to the two of them, looked at them with some envy and said, "Brother Lang, when can we also perform abroad?"

Before Bian Lang even opened his mouth, Guo Sichu said, "With Bian Lang leading you, it won't be difficult for you to perform abroad! Bian Lang has written quite a few English songs now."

"Seriously, if you know a suitable lead singer, you can recommend one with a youthful voice."

As soon as Bian Lang said this, Guo Sichu replied without thinking: "How about a girly look? What do you think of me?"

Before Bian Lang could reply, Ding Ding answered, "Sure, if Sister Chuchu comes to form a Hedgehog Band with us..."

Before Ding Ding could finish her reply, Bian Lang interrupted her: "How do you think the singer looks like a hedgehog?"

Ding Ding didn't know how to respond to this, but Guo Sichu said, "Ding Ding, your personality is quite like that of a little hedgehog. Bian Lang, seriously, can you help me form a band with you guys? I really want to have some fun."

"This..." Bian Lang hesitated.

His opinion of Guo Sichu as a tool is focused on the field of pop music. If she wants to play in a band, it is just for fun.

If you really want to put together a band for a long-term performance, not to mention how complicated the business matters are, it is also difficult to choose musicians.

If compared with the female-led bands from abroad in the original Earth, Guo Sichu's own conditions are very similar to Dorothy's, but there is a big gap with Nightwish.

"We at Rolling Stone have a plan for two lead singers. If you're willing, we can give it a try." Bian Lang no longer had any hope for Dong Youbian, the initial candidate, so...

When Guo Sichu heard this, he became cautious: "Well, I am very tempted by this proposal, but I have to think about it carefully."

Although she didn't know what Bian Lang's position on the dual lead singers was, she felt that Bian Lang's requirements would definitely not be low. Otherwise, with Bian Lang's creative ability, if he called her best friend Liu Yao in the circle, she felt that Liu Yao would definitely not refuse. And there was Dong Youbian, given the relationship between the two...

With the current momentum of the Rolling Stones, they will definitely become an international band in the future, which is what she aspires to do. But before that, she needs to sort out the things about herself that may affect her future.

She doesn't want to break off her relationship with Rolling Stone and Bian Lang because of some business issues.

"Okay, tell me when you've thought about it. There's no rush..."

Just as Bian Lang finished answering, the sound of Coldplay's instruments came from the stage opposite.

The prelude began with the strumming of the keyboard and electric guitar, bringing with it a strong British sea breeze that slowly blew into the hearts of every audience member present.

Following the rhythm, the yellow moving lights on both sides of the stage began to swing randomly towards the audience, dyeing the night by Fuxian Lake into a dim yellow, which perfectly matched the word "Yellow" on the big screen.

Several members of the Hedgehog band also sat at the edge of the stage, drinking Xibic, waiting to see Coldplay's performance of this song.

At the same time, Walker and his company were watching the scene at DGM. Before the song started, Walker opened a disc to predict the final performance of the song. Bob bet on the Grammy nomination option for 1000 euros for no reason.

Walker looked at Bob's actions and smiled happily: "Bob, to be honest, I really hope you win in the end, but at the same time I want to express my gratitude for your generosity!"

Bob spread his hands and said, "Walker, I have confidence in Wave. I really want to know how many times Wave and The Rolling Stones' names will be mentioned in the rock category when the Grammy nominations are announced at the end of the year!"

After being reminded by Bob, Walker remembered this: "Yes! After Wave's music is released in the United States, we will register him for the Grammy Awards!"

The Grammy Awards select all music released in the United States from October to the end of September of the following year, which is registered by artists or record companies. After successful registration, the organizing committee will classify and sort out the genres based on the musical attributes of the works. No artistic or technical judgment will be made at this stage.

In the first round of voting, the judges vote for the "General Field" and five nominees for another 30 sub-awards. At this stage, each judge can vote for 9 sub-awards and the "General Field".

The nomination results are usually announced in November each year, and the awards are presented in January of the following year.

The collaboration between the Rolling Stones and DGM is a matter that will come after the Rolling Stones Music Festival, so whether it’s “Fade To Black” or anything later, registration can only be accepted this year.

Walker didn't think much about this, but Evelyn, the Rolling Stones' overseas agent, had been thinking about it.

In her opinion, it would be a pity if these songs by the Rolling Stones were registered in the same year.

She was very confident that there would be a possibility that more than one of Wave's songs would be nominated for the same award.

If you say that she is competing with others, then it doesn't matter how many nominations she gets. However, these songs all have the potential to win awards, but she is using them all to fight among herself. As a manager, she thinks this is very unreasonable!

So after Bob brought up this topic, Evelyn said to Walker very seriously: "Walker, I suggest that the release of this song in the United States be postponed to after October."

They are all veterans who have been working in this industry for many years. When Evelyn said that, Walker immediately understood: "That's right. Let's see how Coldplay performs first. If their performance is average, I think we should let the Rolling Stones perform a version themselves."

Although Evelyn did not have as much contact with the Rolling Stones as Walker, she had more contact with Chen Shuting. Through Chen Shuting's many descriptions of Bian Lang, she had a different understanding of Bian Lang from Walker and others.

"I think Wave's opinion should be respected. If he really wants to use the Rolling Stones to premiere this song, it is unlikely that he would let other bands sing it first!"

While Walker was still thinking about how to answer, he heard the rhythm coming from the device begin to change.

The addition of distorted guitar, drums and bass completely gave the erratic tune a rock feel!

"Is this pop rock? Or British music?" Walker looked uncertainly at the musicians here who were many times more professional than him.

But Bob and Famous were both shaking their heads. They were not quite sure, but they felt that the musical style of this song should not be defined so generally.

With the strong rhythmic drum beats as a backdrop, the 32-second prelude is enough to arouse the emotions of all music fans, especially when they know that this song is still written by Bian Lang.

Moreover, the song title Yellow gave them enough expectations from the moment they saw the name.

“Look at the stars

Look up at the starry sky

Look how they shine for you

See them bloom and sparkle for you

And everything you do

And your every move

Yeah' they were all Yellow

But full of timidity and shame..."

Chris's voice is somewhat different from Chris Martin's. When Chris Martin sang this song, his voice gave people a very empty feeling, just like the stars in the night sky, which look very bright but are actually very far away from people.

Chris's voice is very strong, just like the waves lapping at his feet, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but never stopping.

In terms of live performance, Bian Lang feels that Chris's voice texture is more suitable, but if it is recorded, it may lack something compared to the original Coldplay.

After all, it is more appropriate to understand the "Yellow" in the lyrics as shyness. This song expresses the shy admiration of youth. It is a love song of a shy boy expressing his love. Not only are the lyrics shy, but the artistic conception expressed by the singer should also have such temperament.

The true intentions of many songs by Coldplay are not very obvious, which makes people fall into speculation but also enjoy it.

Yellow is also such a song. Without looking at the lyrics, when you first hear the prelude, you will want to run to a quiet and deserted place, open your ears wantonly, and feel this shy warmth alone.

This feeling is similar to that of many fans at the scene who don’t understand the lyrics and don’t read the subtitles.

When the prelude started, many people already felt like they were about to get sucked into it. When Chris started to speak, many people simply closed their eyes and let their ears and minds be massaged by the melody.

“I came along

I follow your breath

I wrote a song for you

write a song for you

And all the things you do

Thinking back on all your actions and smiles

and it was called Yellow

And named the song Yellow..."

Listening to the song, Guo Sichu looked at Bian Lang's profile and smiled sweetly in his heart: "A rock singer writing love songs, this gentle energy is really fascinating!"

As a singing queen with a full name stamped on her, love songs account for at least 9% of all Guo Sichu's works so far, if not 8%. Her "resistance" and appreciation of love songs are first-class.

So to her, this song is undoubtedly a very good love song.

“So then I took my turn

I'm exhausted

Oh what a thing to have done

Show my love with actions

And it was all Yellow

Oh, this process is full of uneasiness, shyness and a little warmth..."

Hearing this, Bob and Phimos both felt a little bit disappointed. Not because the song was not given to them, but because they did not go to the scene.

As a heavy band, this kind of melody is not their cup of tea, but they really like to participate in and feel this kind of live atmosphere.

Especially when the camera scans over the couples snuggling together.

"Coldplay has really made a fortune this time. With this song alone, they will soon become popular in Europe!"

It was not just the two of them who made this judgment; more than a dozen people in the DGM room thought so.

Walker even sent a message directly to Olaf: "If Bian Lang is still willing to write songs for Coldplay, the headquarters is willing to write him a blank check."

Blank check is just an adjective, but the value of this adjective is self-evident.

When Olaf saw the news, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Walker, you are quite thoughtful!"

“Your skin

Every inch of your skin

Oh yeah' your skin and bones

Every inch of your skin and bones

Turn into something beautiful

In my heart, all are beautiful things

Do you know? you know I love you so

Do you know that I have fallen deeply in love with you?

You know I love you so

You know I'm obsessed with you..."

The female fans who could understand the music or who were watching along with the subtitles felt an inexplicable excitement both mentally and physically, just like the pleasure of secretly lifting the hem of your skirt on a summer meadow to let the cool breeze sneak in from under your skirt.

This kind of expression does exist in Chinese lyrics, but it is definitely not common. After all, there are more advanced and implicit expressions in the Chinese culture and language system.

During the interlude, Guo Sichu looked at Bian Lang who was in a trance and asked, "This song is turned backwards. How are you going to turn it?"

Bian Lang smiled and shook his head, saying: "You will know when the time comes!"

Guo Sichu did not give up and continued with a different question: "If you were asked to write "Your skin" in Chinese poetry, "Oh yeah' your skin and bones..." How would you write it?"

Bian Lang did think of an interesting line of lyrics, but it had nothing to do with "Yellow" or "Meteor".

"The arm is like a clothes hanger, swinging in front of the courtyard, and the waist is like a bench, you can lean on it, or lie down and read a book..."

It is the same desire for physical intimacy, but when expressed in poetic Chinese, it makes people taste the sweetness and tranquility that comes after love reaches its extreme.

Thinking of this, he sent a message to Liu Huzhou: "Remember to come to me to get the new song after you return to Spring City."

As for Coldplay's manager, she was so excited that tears came out of her eyes. She had no doubt that this song would take Coldplay to a higher level than it is now, but seeing the effect of today's live performance, her ambitions became even bigger.

These fans who are not familiar with the English lyrics are all very excited in the audience. When the band returns to Europe, the effect will be even more amazing.

She really couldn't understand how a native Chinese like Bian Lang could understand English songs so well. At this moment, she had already made up her mind that after the performance was over, she would find a time alone to ask Bian Lang what his motivation was for writing this song.

After all, in her opinion, there was no way Bian Lang was an emotionally shy person.

And at this moment, a strong idea suddenly arose in her mind, that is, when she and Chris got married, there was no need for a "Wedding March", just this song "Yellow" would be enough!

In her opinion, the extremely romantic imagery combined with the frank confession of love is the pinnacle of love songs.
