Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory
Chapter 570: The mainland's reaction
Looking at Chris on the stage at this time, he was strumming the electric guitar to the rhythm of the drums, and for the first time he felt the feeling of being the center of attention.
Whether it was the French version of "Rice Shop" or "I Walk This Road Alone", the fact that they were able to cause such a big response on the spot was undoubtedly due to the popularity of the original versions of the songs. It was obvious that the audience was less enthusiastic about the songs they wrote later.
But as soon as "Yellow" came out, the climax of today's live performance so far appeared.
When he turned around and interacted with the lead guitarist, he saw the excited faces of fans passing by on the screen behind the stage. He knew that the band's path would be different in the future.
The root of all this is because of a song, a song created by Chinese rock star Bian Lang!
Whether it is the original Earth or the Blue Water Planet, people both look down on the idea of a band singing songs written by others.
But that also depends on the level of the song. Not to mention domestic bands, even those well-known foreign bands have precedents of singing other people's songs.
For example, the Rolling Stones signed a contract with Decca in May 1963. In June, the band released its first single, "Come On," a cover of Chuck Berry, which ranked 5st on the UK chart. At the end of 6, the band released another single, "I Wanna Be Your Man," a cover of the Beatles, which successfully entered the top 21 of the UK chart.
For example, Nirvana, Cobain also covered "Seasons in the Sun"!
Chris certainly didn't know about these things, but he didn't have any psychological burden of being questioned by music fans. Judging from the level of this song, he believed that those rock fans who previously said that Coldplay were gutless and threatened to stop being fans should now be enjoying this song.
The facts were pretty much as he expected. Although DGM didn't spend much resources promoting their performance in China, they still put various viewing guides on their official website.
When fans saw that only three songs in the set list were original Coldplay songs, many of them started to shout that Coldplay was no longer "Cool" and that they had chosen to bow down to money! They also firmly stated that they would not watch this performance!
But there were also some less radical ones who checked in on the Internet with the intention of appreciating the live scene of the China Music Festival.
When they heard the prelude of "Yellow", these people started to talk: "It's really worthy of Wave, such a nice and layered prelude, if I were Chris, I would definitely not refuse it!"
After singing two choruses, these people began to spread the word on YouTube:
"Those idiots who boycotted Coldplay, if you still insist on your previous ideas, you will definitely miss one of Coldplay's most classic live performances!"
"Go listen to Yellow! You can look down on Coldplay, but you can never look down on Wave! Believe me, you won't regret it!"
"Damn Coldplay, you stupid pigs, how could you premiere a song like this in China, which is so far away from us?"
There are also some people who are not Coldplay fans, but because of their interest in the Rolling Stones and Ringling, they also listened to "Yellow" through the Internet and naturally joined the Amway team.
Ibrahimovic was a very tough opponent before. He did not watch the live broadcast, but he watched on YouTube to see if anyone would come back and curse after watching it.
But even after seeing all these flattering contents, his heart did not waver. He thought that there would always be one or two staunch people who would jump out and tell the truth.
But he waited and waited, but in vain, what he got was more and more praise for the song, one line of which touched his heart: "Yellow, yellow, timid and introverted, but also passionate. Everyone has a person in their heart that they can't stop singing. I thought rock music was about venting, noise and explosion, but it's not. If you don't believe me, listen to this song."
Then he clicked on the link without hesitation and followed in, and heard Chris singing again:
“I swam across
I crossed the ocean for you
I jumped across for you
I climbed mountains for you.
Oh what a thing to do
The significance of all these actions
Cause you were all yellow
Just for your shy smile..."
Then his mind was pierced!
Climbing over mountains and crossing oceans, these specific but empty words have appeared in Ibrahimovic's life, and more than once. But the shy smile that he was crazy about never bloomed for him.
This was probably one of the few setbacks in his seemingly strong life!
He just continued to listen blankly, listening to Chris continue to sing about the stupid things he did when he was young:
“I drew a line
I picked up the pen carefully
I drew a line for you
Draw the beautiful you in my mind
Oh what a thing to do
Do this for you
And it was all Yellow
My heart is filled with warmth..."
"Damn Coldplay, even though you guys aren't as cool as you used to be, I still like this song..."
There are many people like him, all following Chris's singing, searching for the youthful memories that have been lost for a long time.
More young men and women have begun to muster up the courage to confess their love because of this song.
Until this time, many people still didn’t quite understand what Bian Lang meant when he created the Blueberry label: “younger, more inclusive…”!
Rock music, which once had a glorious past in China, needs not only new works and musicians, but also a new audience.
Works such as "Shame" and "Dream of the Tang Dynasty" are undoubtedly very good, but for these young audiences who are used to listening to idol songs with weak musicality and lyrics without much depth, they really need works like "Yellow" to build a bridge and help them develop an interest in rock.
Then, we will slowly follow the footsteps of those old rock fans and gradually develop the market for rock and niche music in China.
Although Bian Lang himself didn't think so much, he probably wouldn't make any big mistakes if he followed the path of his former club Modern in his previous life.
At this moment, he was holding the unplugged Ovation, and sang along with Chris's voice at the side of the stage:
“Your skin
Every inch of your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Your icy skin and jade bones
Turn into something beautiful
It is so beautiful that it will stay in my heart forever
Do you know?
Do you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry
I'm willing to give everything for you
For you I'd bleed myself dry
I will be content until my life burns out..."
While singing these lyrics, Bian Lang couldn't help but start thinking back to the original Earth.
Coldplay had never toured mainland China before Bian Lang came across the border. There were many reasons for this, and some even said that Coldplay did not crave Chinese fans and the Chinese market.
But Bian Lang doesn't think so. If the band hadn't been eager for the Chinese market, they wouldn't have collaborated with Rihanna on a song called "Princess of China" in 2012.
The MV involves Chinese elements such as the Thousand-armed Guanyin, martial arts, the dragon throne, and Chinese palaces. From this, it seems that the band wanted to enter China, but in the end they missed out because of Beastie Boy and "CSC".
In this life, such regrets were finally made up. In particular, the song "Yellow" was sung for the first time in mainland China.
Recalling the scene in his previous life when he watched a video and saw countless Coldplay fans singing along with tears in the audience, Bian Lang laughed. He thought that this scene would be reproduced on the Blue Water Planet in a short time.
Entering the interlude again, He Bianlang, who was concentrating on enjoying the performance, was distracted by the staff's shout: "Teacher Bian, it's time for the Hedgehog Band to get ready!"
Bian Lang nodded, and led the band members to their respective instrument positions. At the same time, the staff also pulled up the front of the curtain and the black cloth that did not block out much light.
After putting on the in-ear monitor, Bian Lang heard a voice from the lighting team: "Teacher Bian, please confirm the position of the microphone stand. We will try it here! We also need to try the microphone."
Bian Lang didn't think much about it. He listened to the singing coming from Heibu and started working as the staff asked.
“It’s true
This is my true heart
Look how they shine for you
Look at the stars in the sky shining for you
Look how they shine for you
As if I am also amazed by your beauty
Look how they shine for
Look at the stars in the sky shining for you
Look how they shine for you
As if he can understand my mood at this moment
Look how they shine for you
Look at the stars in the sky shining for you
Look how they shine
The brilliance in the sky is all for you..."
But what Bian Lang didn't expect was that after the chorus was finished, the interlude he was so familiar with did not come, and Chris's voice came from the opposite stage: "Wave, I hope to invite you to sing the last sentence..."
Then three spotlights simultaneously hit the position where Bian Lang was standing, and at the same time, the black cloth in front of the stage on his side was pulled open again.
At this moment, all the audience turned around and looked over at Chris's command.
Liu Ziyang's voice could be heard from Bian Lang's earphones: "Get ready, 1, 2, 3..."
Bian Lang did not hesitate at all. After taking a deep breath, he put his mouth close to the microphone and sang softly along with the keyboard player's music:
“Look at the stars
Look up at the starry sky
Look how they shine for you
Look at them blooming and shining for you
And all the things you do
It’s all because of your every move…”
The song should have ended here, but Bian Lang glanced at the Ovation in his hand and continued to sing: "I made a wish, I want to know how long the shooting star can fly, it has made me happy for a long time..."
Then, amid Chris's exaggerated shouts, the audience began to rush towards the stage where the Hedgehog Band was, with applause and cheers!
At this moment, Ibrahimovic was completely stunned by the scene. Sitting in front of the computer, he no longer knew how to express his surprise.
Before this, he had never paid attention to the China Music Festival. In his opinion, China, a mysterious and introverted oriental country, probably would not have a grand carnival event like a music festival.
But after seeing the Blueberry Music Festival today, he felt that he must have made a very big mistake.
Judging from the on-site layout of this music festival and the state of the fans, music festivals should not be a new thing for China.
And judging from the calmness with which Bian Lang handled the call, he must be a veteran in this field.
Looking at the people on the stage again, he found that the band standing behind Bian Lang was not The Rolling Stones that he knew.
In his opinion, it is common for several bands to share a drummer, and it is also possible to share other musicians, but the only thing that cannot be shared is the lead singer!
Of course, there are also cases where the lead singer of a band goes to play the role of a musician in other bands, but there is absolutely no lead singer who plays for two bands at the same time.
Just like himself, wearing the zebra jersey, it is impossible for him to dream of winning the championship with the Nerazzurri!
But what is going on with Bian Lang?
Driven by curiosity, Ibrahimovic began to look up things about the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang. It didn't take long for him to find out that Bian Lang was the lead singer of not only the Rolling Stones and the Hedgehog he had just seen, but also a band called New Pants.
Then he was even more surprised to find that this was a music "kingdom" built around Wave.
Although it doesn’t look that big now, when he gets to know it more deeply, he will find that as long as the “King” Wave can keep writing songs, this music “kingdom” from the East will surely shine all over the world.
Thinking of this, the thoughts that had arisen many times before but had been suppressed by himself now popped up again.
He plans to talk to the club president tomorrow and suggest that he ask Wave to write a new team song for Juventus and quickly replace the old team song that makes people feel depressed!
As for DGM's headquarters at this time, Evelyn was already applauding the performance across a continent.
This applause is not only for the Coldplay band, but also for Bian Lang.
She had learned from Chen Shuting that Bian Lang was very capable in custom-made products. She had also studied the cases of Ershoumeigui and Mayuan Poets. While she admired him, she also felt that there might be some randomness in this.
But after watching Coldplay's live performance this time, she feels that she is now the most loyal believer of Wave.
This song is good, but if it was given to Hatter, it would be rejected without a second thought. Even if everyone played it for fun out of friendship, the result would definitely be completely different from what it is now.
Looking at other bands in the company, I’m afraid they would not have thought of taking on a work by a Chinese musician before.
But Coldplay not only accepted it, but also left the first and last sentence of the song to Bian Lang on the spot.
She could see that this was not Bian Lang's request, but Coldplay was willing to do so, which proved that Bian Lang had completely gained Coldplay's utmost respect with his music. Even if it was a coincidence, only Bian Lang could do this kind of coincidence.
Thinking of this, her ambition grew.
Since it has been so long and the company has not found a suitable agent for the Rolling Stones in Europe, she must give it a try and remove the word "temporary" from her current position.
To do this, she knew that the opinions of Bian Lang and Chen Shuting were very important. To gain more of their trust, she had to help the Rolling Stones do some things in Europe that were beyond their plans and would be beneficial to them without causing any harm before many things happened.
But this always requires a bigger opportunity...
