Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 591 You can’t live without going crazy.

The reactions of those female fans who had just recently got into rock music because of Bian Lang were even greater than those of the female Bodhisattvas at the scene.

Although the current social environment has passed the era of being terrified when talking about X, the traditional Chinese people who are reserved and introverted always have a 100% interest in this matter, but they are unlikely to make such obvious hints in their music.

Now that Xi Que had performed this, the desire that had been aroused in addition to the surprise was also unable to fill the gap that had already been opened...

Especially as the electrocardiogram beats faster and faster during this section of lyrics, everyone on and off the stage feels that their heartbeats are in sync with the music.

Guo Li, who was standing on the suspended corridor, was also overwhelmed with emotion at the moment. He felt that the creator of this performance must be the ancient Greek god in charge of lust. Perhaps this god's surname was also Bian.

"If the world is really like this, we don't need to hide. If tomorrow is still like this, we don't need to remember..."

After singing this exciting chorus, just when everyone thought that the interlude would begin, Xi Que plucked the electric guitar lightly, and the sound became soft, enchanting, and a little lifeless again:

"Her lost feeling for love, my lost faith in you, on a bed covered with peach blossoms and mugwort leaves...Her lost feeling for love, my lost faith in you, on a street filled with the smell of obsession and porn..."

At this time, all the musicians in the preparation room were looking at Bian Lang.

The lyrics are quite explosive, but the overall performance was so touching that they didn't know how to describe it.

After all, it was difficult to have such a complete expression on the rock stage before. In the eyes of many people, this performance has completely surpassed the expression of the single word "rock music", and perhaps it is more appropriate to call it art.

Then the magpie's voice became louder again, tearing the bottom of its vocal cords to open its mouth, and its face became distorted and hideous with excitement.

“Let all dreams stay at the crossroads of youth, let all kings find the interface of power, let all reason be buried deep in the tunnel, let all of us disappear at the end of love…”

After the song was finished, the interlude started again, and the discussion in the preparation room started completely:

"This phrase only changes one word, but it's just as good as not changing it, so cool..."

"Bian Lang should stop hanging around in the music industry and start writing poetry or becoming a philosopher instead of trying to entangle those of us who haven't even graduated from high school."

"It's so damn suitable for Xi Que to give this stage to Bian Lang. I'm afraid they will take off from now on!"

As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, Ding Ding interrupted: "That's because Brother Lang's songs are good and the stage design is good. With these two points, catching a parrot won't be much worse!"

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, everyone still thinks it makes sense.

After all, the songs written by Bian Lang have never failed so far.

No matter whether you sing it yourself or for others, the only difference is the degree of popularity.

"Hahaha, Ding Ding, what you said, do you want the magpie to be renamed as a parrot?"

"You're right, this method may not work! I don't have a parrot, but my old man at home has a few mynah birds that learn very quickly. I'll get you one later. Why don't you try to form a mynah band?"

Old Zhao's words really made Bian Lang laugh and cry. Although he didn't know the principles of these birds' mimicry, he felt that it was unreliable.

"Old Zhao, aren't you afraid that I might corrupt your grandfather's mynah bird?"

"It's good to teach them bad things. They can still write songs for our band later. This is a good idea. I have to write it down."

In addition to those who were chatting, those who were not familiar with Bian Lang were thinking in their hearts: "This folk fanke might be the next Mayuan or Ershou. If only Bian Lang could listen to our songs carefully..." Thinking of these things, the bands' morale was lifted again.

Although the band focuses on originality, no band would refuse a song by Bian Lang to guide them and give them encouragement.

Even though Ershou and Mayuan did not participate in the competition, their recognition among music fans is higher than half of the bands here.

So even though they didn't go on stage, Liangzi and Jinma were there.

At first, they were told to let the two go to the professional music fans' place, but Jin Ma refused to go, saying that his level was not good enough and that he had a terrible problem with his tongue, and he was afraid that Niu Bo would hand over the microphone to him.

Since he wasn't going to the Golden Horse Awards, Liangzi would accompany him and watch the show among the ordinary music fans.

The two were now squeezed in the crowd, and while they were shocked by the magpie's stage, they were thinking: "When it's our turn next time, what kind of stage should we put on so that we won't be outdone!"

Just as the last interlude was about to end, the naked-eye 3D electrocardiogram changed into a beating heart and then began to catch fire from the center, slowly burning a hole in the heart.

As the fire spread, the "heart" gradually turned into ashes, and the people on the stage, which had a psychedelic feel before, were presented to everyone with 4K ultra-clear picture quality.

At this moment, the magpie was like a person who was suppressed by a nightmare all night and then suddenly woke up. With sweat all over his head and a ferocious expression, he sang like a madman: "Let all dreams stay at the crossroads of youth, let all kings find the interface of power, let all reason be buried deep in the tunnel, let all of us disappear at the end of love..."

When it was repeated once more, thousands of people at the scene began to sing in chorus under the leadership of Liangzi and others.

Guo Sichu, who was sitting in the super fan seat, just smiled, but he was as shocked as anyone else.

In her opinion, such a complete stage performance has completely set the tone for both rock and the show.

She doesn’t know whether there will be more in the future, but she feels that since the beginning of music variety shows, this program is really the ceiling of music variety shows!

And there is no other like it!

She had looked at the information provided by the program team before, but there was no specific description of these things. She thought it was a performance format similar to other music variety shows, with the band as the main body, plus the traffic of top celebrities like Bian Lang, to differentiate itself and break the circle.

But he never expected that, putting aside his personal preference for music, the purpose of "Summer of the Band" was to beat other music variety shows.

This is just a little-known band under the Rolling Stones. If New Pants and Hedgehog come on stage, what will the stage look like?

The outro after the song was not as long as the original version. When Niu Bo came on stage after it ended, he still seemed a little dazed.

After the performance, Xi Que also recovered from his crazy state in an instant. Niu Boyi asked him: "Xi Que, what were you thinking about when you were singing? How could you interpret the spirit of this song so vividly?"

Magpie scratched his head and said excitedly: "Our keyboard player, my girlfriend Tong Qi was absorbed by Hedgehog. I'm afraid that if we don't seize this opportunity, we will gradually lose our customers..."

When Magpie said this, many people felt that his EQ was really low.

But for those who have been playing rock music for many years without any improvement, the words "slowly fade away" are too destructive.

I won’t talk about the distant past, but among the bands invited to this year’s Summer of the Band, four or five bands wanted to regard Summer of the Band as a farewell for their bands and rock, and to give an account of their efforts over the years.

Because they know clearly that if they keep relying on performances to support themselves underground, they can only meet basic living needs at best.

But as they get older, facing realistic issues like parents and marriage, some rock fans start to think: "Is rock all about my life?"

Some people answer "yes", and they may continue to persevere.

Those who answer “not all” may slowly start looking for a way out for themselves.

Lao Tan is a good example. Although the band has disbanded, the existence of Banshan is proof that he is still in the circle. It is the strongest evidence that he has not left rock music!

Normally, this kind of song wouldn't have much of a tear-jerking effect, but Old Tan was a little upset by Xi Que's words.

Several musicians in the preparation room were in the same situation. Thinking about the uncertain future and the difficult past, they couldn't hold back their tears!

Dayong has a say in this matter, after all, he is the man who has collected all seven dragon balls.

Seeing that some musicians were getting depressed, Dayong said nothing and took the lead in applauding Xi Que at the scene: "I feel that Xi Que has succeeded this time, come on everyone..."

The 810 votes announced later proved that what Dayong said was true. It was more than 100 votes higher than Washe's score, which surprised Bian Lang.

At the same time, I was also thinking: "What exactly do the fans like this year? What is the watershed vote count..."

……

The performance of the next four pieces of music was still impeccable, and the fans who had been standing for nearly three hours did not feel particularly tired at all.

It’s just because of the difference in the audience and quality of their works that their scores hover around 700 points.

During this recording, Niu Bo announced a 45-minute break for everyone to eat, drink water and go to the toilet.

The lunch boxes for the fans were also provided by the program team, and those responsible for serving the meals were student volunteers from Yunnan Art Institute and someone from Li Yunkun’s stage management team.

Looking at the lunch box with two meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, as well as an energy drink, the person on Li Yunkun's side said to the volunteer, "This program group is very considerate. If it were the other ones, they would have given us only 15 yuan out of the 10 yuan meal standard, and we would have eaten a little. The lunch box with one meat dish and one vegetable dish is already pretty good."

He didn't know that after Li Yunkun found out all the details of the program crew, he never mentioned helping to buy lunch boxes. He only arranged for someone to receive the lunch boxes sent by Nan Feiyan and sent someone to distribute them.

This volunteer is one of the first campus agents of the Rolling Stones. He has never missed a volunteer for the Rolling Stones, so he has a say in this matter.

"I don't know what the situation is for others, but I tell you, brother, as long as it's something led by the Rolling Stones, the menu standard is like this..."

Looking at the fans who were standing or sitting around the park, praising the delicious lunch boxes while eating, the volunteer added: "These fans are the foundation of the Rolling Stones. There is no way the Rolling Stones can fool around with this matter."

After hearing this, the people on Li Yunkun's side were surprised and asked, "Does that mean there are no extras in these?"

"Huh? Why do we need extras? For these few hundred spots, more than 20,000 people signed up. Look at all the people out there, they're all eager to swap with you..."

“Those weren’t organized by you, too?”

"You think it's those from the fan circle..." When saying this, the volunteer's voice was a little lower, because he knew that Bian Lang had a fan base, and it was run quite well.

It’s just that they don’t make money by selling USB flash drives for 288 yuan or holding birthday parties.

In the preparation room separated by a wall, the musicians had already started eating their buffet, but those who had just performed or would perform the next day opened the iced bottles of Xibic and drank them directly, without any regard for the mood of the eight bands that would perform next.

However, none of these things can compare to everyone's congratulations to the civilian fan who currently has the most votes:

"Magpie, you guys can do it. You're back from a trip to the Rolling Stones, and now Fan's here too!"

"After Tong Qi plays with Bian Lang for a while longer, will you guys still take turns sending the musicians to Bian Lang on business trips?"

Of course, everyone was joking, but for Magpie, he could feel some of the changes after returning from the Rolling Stones.

If it were in the past, he really wouldn't care too much about makeup. If it was for a performance, he could accept simple makeup, but if it was full makeup like now, he would definitely refuse.

But when he followed Rolling Stone, he found that Bian Lang had no objection to this matter, so he jokingly asked: "Brother Lang, you still want to put something on your face, you are simply not giving us a way to live!"

Bian Lang’s answer at the time was also brilliant: “Then why are you still so resistant? Isn’t that even worse?”

"Brother Lang, you..."

"You know my former band, right? We performed with masks on, and we were still unknown in the rock circle for nearly 10 years. When we took off the mask after leaving the stage, not only the fans, but even the people in the circle didn't recognize us. But what do you want to play rock music for, besides money and fame, isn't it just to have more people like your music?

If you dress up well, more people will remember you. If you put more effort on stage, more fans will remember your songs. Wouldn’t that be great? Rock is an art of live performance. As long as it works on stage, I think it’s not too much to put on some putty on your face.”

From that time on, Magpie realized a problem: sometimes it’s not that fans don’t care about their music, but maybe they themselves haven’t taken this love to the extreme.

Perhaps the saying in the Peking Opera industry, "You can't survive without being crazy," also holds true for rock music.

Looking at the performances of the Rolling Stones at music festivals and when they were guests abroad, Xi Que suddenly had an epiphany. That’s why we have this performance today after he went crazy!
