Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Bian Lang played out eight bars in one breath, and then the knowledgeable Strauss came into his own.

This version is played by three acoustic guitars. Due to the tight time schedule, Bian Lang could only play the broken chords and the main chord together, and let Strauss be responsible for the rhythm of Glenn Frey's part.

It is simply impossible to perfectly reproduce such a complex performance under such circumstances.

Therefore, Bian Lang only planned to make a prelude and be done with it. If he could lose this... hehe, that would definitely be impossible.

Although Bian Lang's fingerstyle performance is not as superb as Don Felder's, the difference is negligible when it comes to the prelude to California Guest House, a classic that he had practiced countless times in his previous life.

So when Bian Lang used fast 16th note fingerpicking to demonstrate the coordination with Strauss, everyone was dumbfounded except Ding Ding who had not returned yet.

Huang Kai: "Fuck you, playing fingerstyle? You are not polite at all!"

Strauss: "Is this written now? I'm the first one who doesn't believe it!"

Tong Qi: "So what do you want to do with a sand barrel?"

When Ding Ding came back, he was not alone. Because the band that was going to compete with Hedgehog was a reggae band. When Ding Ding went to Tu Ling to get the conga drum and sand pipe, Tu Ling thought that only magic could defeat magic and thought that Bian Lang would use reggae to compete with the other party, so he ran over to watch.

But when he heard the finger-picking music, he didn't know whether he should be excited or disappointed.

Excited? Of course, that was because he could hear this classic song first. Disappointed, that was probably because he was sure that the style of this thing was at least an ocean away from reggae!

After the three string players had finished their performance, Bian Lang stopped and demonstrated the hand drum part to Ding Ding.

There are only three rhythm patterns in total, and for Ding Ding, the difficulty is just to remember a few speed changes and the timing of the cuts.

As for Tong Qi, she felt that the task assigned to her by Bian Lang was a way for Bian Lang to take care of her and not give her any time to have nothing to do, so he made such a musical instrument.

If she knew that this was the treatment only for the lead singer in the original version, I wonder how she would feel.

But Don Henley is the drummer and lead singer, which is a very special existence in the entire rock circle of the original Earth.

Fifteen minutes passed in a flash, and after everyone's performances were divided, Bian Lang began to adjust the three acoustic guitars brought by the staff one by one. As for why two guitarists needed three guitars, they didn't know.

Anyway, it’s impossible to give one to Huang Kai!

After 25 minutes, they played together again, and then waited for Niu Boyi to shout "start".

After seeing this scene, Qin Ge in the back began to mutter in his heart: "If this is broadcast and someone says there is no script, I may not believe it myself!"

But this really happened before his eyes, and Qin Ge couldn't help but believe it. As for whether Bian Lang had thought of this melody a long time ago, it didn't matter to him.

Anyway, facing this kind of song, which he thinks must be a classic, it is a great fortune for the program team and music fans to have it appear in the show.

As for whether the opponents would think that Bian Lang was using his inventory to bully them, Qin Ge felt that they certainly would not. They should feel proud that Bian Lang took out such a powerful weapon just to defeat him!

California Guest House This was Bian Lang's second public performance at Blue Water Star, the first time was at the Yunnan Art Guitar Club. However, Bian Lang played the ending at that time, and the students at the scene were not at the level of being able to remember and transcribe the score after watching it once. As for the video material, only one student recorded a little bit of the ending.

Without mentioning the song title, even the students in the guitar club who were present at the time would probably find it difficult to connect the two together.

After Tu Ling returned to the preparation room, a group of people came up to him to inquire about the situation:

"How is it? What style? Is Bian Lang really going to use reggae to defeat reggae?"

"That's unlikely. Hedgehog's positioning is punk, which is far from reggae!"

"Not necessarily. The previous part wasn't punk! The Rolling Stones played everything. This is not the main event, I think..."

"Anyway, I think it's a foul to bring Bian Lang!" This was said as a joke, of course. If there really was no Bian Lang, not to mention what the fans would think, the rock music people themselves would feel that it was a bit lacking.

After everyone had talked about it for a while, Tu Ling made a gesture of wiping his neck in front of everyone.

Now everyone basically understood: "Well, it's still a one-shot kill!"

As for Hedgehog's opponents, they completely let go after they figured out one thing: "It's impossible to win anyway, so let's just show off our music!"

Although there was a 30-minute break, the super fans and professional fans went to the bathroom and then came back to continue chatting.

The topic of the conversation naturally revolved around the question raised by Liu Ziyang:

"I wonder what kind of song the Rolling Stones... no... Hedgehog will come up with?"

"30 minutes is quite tight, especially since the chord progression is quite melancholy, it's really hard to get it right!"

"Do you think Liu Ziyang had consulted with Bian Lang beforehand?"

"How to communicate? Who would have thought that Hedgehog would deliberately throw fans into this situation."

"That's true..."

As for the super music fan, Guo Sichu also asked Liu Ziyang: "How far do you think Bian Lang will go in designing this chord?"

"If it were normal times, and he had one day, I think he could decompose a whole set of string chords with this chord progression. There are so many things that can be played with 63524123. With the hedgehog's configuration today, we don't know what Bian Lang can play. I think the keyboard should be more colorful!"

After Liu Ziyang finished speaking, Guo Sichu followed up with a question: "How long do you think their performance will be this time?"

If Liu Ziyang's previous answer was somewhat clichéd, then he was much more interested in this question: "I bet it'll be within two minutes!"

Before Guo Sichu could reply, Liu Xiaokui leaned over and asked, "What are you betting on?"

"Besides, the duration of the homework taught by your brother Lang, Ziyang bets it will be within two minutes."

After listening to Guo Sichu's explanation, Liu Xiaokui said with a smile: "Teacher Ziyang, I bet that it will take more than two minutes. If I win, how about making a song for the four kids in our studio?"

Liu Ziyang also started to playfully say, "Okay, the cost won't be reduced by a cent anyway! Sichu, what about you?"

"I bet you two minutes!"

When Guo Sichu said this, Liu Ziyang and Liu Xiaokui both took a deep breath, thinking in their hearts, isn't it obvious that this female hero is going to lose?

Even if Bian Lang designed it to be exactly two minutes, if there is a slight delay or a delay during the performance, a one-second error is normal.

"Si Chu, how big are you going to play this game?"

"We'll be a family from now on. If I win against Zi Yang, you should make plans for me. I really want to release a few more albums seriously."

"You said that as if I won't help you if you don't win this time. When you come over, Bian Lang and I will have a good discussion..."

Zheng Zeting didn't participate in the topic here and was just chatting with Niu Bo.

But when she heard that the singer was really going to join the Rolling Stones, she pretended not to care, but in her heart she had already started to think about how to further cooperate with the Rolling Stones.

Apart from anything else, the configuration of this king and queen is enough for Bai Gou to place a heavy bet, and it is the kind that does not require any gambling.

……

As soon as the 30-minute preparation time was up, Niu Boyi, who was looking at his watch, said to the fans in the audience: "Okay, now the time is up, everyone get ready and start enjoying the impromptu solos of the two bands!"

After the big screen went up, Liu Ziyang saw that both bands were in a relaxed state, so he asked with a smile: "You are all ready, right? Then Hedgehog will be in the back, is that ok?"

Seeing Bian Lang nod, Niu Bo made a gesture to the director on the scene, and then the lights on the hedgehog's side dimmed.

The lead singer here took a deep breath, nodded to the percussionist, and then the rhythm of the box drum was heard.

The strongest point of reggae is the rhythm. Following the backbeat drums, the sound of the rhythm guitar comes out, and after 4 bars, the lead singer's voice comes out: "I am a tree... Name, Name, O... O..."

"You are also a tree..."

The song is not long, only about 1 minute and 30 seconds, but driven by the reggae rhythm, the bodies and minds of all the fans were swaying along.

Just like the spring breeze blowing into the body, everyone, like the lyrics, turned into a tree, sprouting and growing leaves in the spring breeze, and then swaying in the wind...

After the performance, Niu Boyi led the audience in applause and asked Liu Ziyang: "Teacher Ziyang, does this count as completing the task you set?"

Liu Ziyang nodded with a smile on his face and said, "It's very well done. The chord progression and breakdown are in line with the theme. Moreover, this was originally a somewhat hesitant chord progression, but it was performed so joyfully. I think only reggae can do that."

Many music critics and professional music fans also think so. They also think that if the band had not encountered Bian Lang, perhaps they would have made it into the top 16.

After finishing his evaluation, Niu Boyi asked Bian Lang in a provocative manner: "So Hedgehog, how do you evaluate the opponent's performance?"

Bian Lang thought about it, and then said honestly: "I like this song very much, and I hope to hear the full version of this song in the future!"

Everyone could tell that what Bian Lang said was not just perfunctory official rhetoric, so the lead singer felt a little flattered: "Thank you, thank you, it would be even better if you could show some mercy..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into laughter. It can be seen that this person is a straightforward person.

Just because of his ridicule, Liu Ziyang has decided to put them on the list of candidates for the revival match.

As for Bian Lang showing mercy, that was naturally impossible. Now that the California Guesthouse had been taken out, it would inevitably be a one-sided crushing.

Even the most improvisational reggae can’t handle it!

After saying this, Niu Bo closed his mouth and continued, "Well, now let's enjoy the hedgehog's performance together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the only lights on the stage were the ones illuminating the hedgehog's side.

After everyone's attention was focused on a few people, they realized that Hedgehog had given up his electric guitar. Bian Lang and Strauss both sat on high stools, and they were carrying wooden guitars.

Looking at Ding Ding and Tong Qi again, the two of them were not staying at the instrument seats where they were supposed to be.

Ding Ding was fine, a percussion drum set was within his job scope. But it was weird for Tong Qi, a keyboard player, to be holding a sandbox!

Seeing Tong Qi's expression, Guo Sichu smiled at Liu Ziyang, as if to say, "You guessed wrong!"

Liu Ziyang didn't think it was a big deal, but became even more excited.

After all, after giving up the keyboard and drum set and replacing the electric guitar with an acoustic guitar, this is a sign that you want to go purely for technique. After all, the tolerance for playing an unplugged acoustic guitar decreases after giving up the effects pedal.

As long as there is a slight flaw, these professional music fans with ears as sharp as bats will not let it go.

But as soon as Strauss started strumming and Bian Lang started playing the steady-speed fingerstyle, the scene, which had been a little lively just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet.

There is no way around it. The music played by these two guitarists at this moment gives people a feeling that they cannot be disturbed.

Unlike the quietness at the scene, the preparation room was immediately filled with excitement: "Fuck, classical fingerstyle, even the Rolling Stones would kneel down to this!"

After Li Hao expressed his feelings, he realized that what he said seemed wrong, but he immediately turned his attention to the Face Band.

The regular lineup of the Rolling Stones was on "Summer of the Band" this time, with three members each, including Faces and Hedgehog. Faces also advanced, and they sang "Hey" produced by Bian Lang.

Now that Hedgehog has come up with this kind of fingerstyle guitar arrangement, Li Hao wants to know what Di Li thinks.

It was obvious that many people had the same idea as him and turned their attention to the Faces Band.

Di Li noticed the gazes directed at him, and in his heart he felt a mixture of love and hate for the fans who had pushed Hedgehog to this point!

But when facing people in the circle, he still has that lukewarm expression.

But when Bian Lang started to speed up from around the 15-second mark until the 30-second super-speed fingerstyle ended, he started cursing in his heart: "Uh, why not take this thing out at some other time? Why did he have to take it out now? Also, when did Bian Lang's fingerstyle become so awesome?"

The broadcast footage gave a big thumbs-up to Bian Lang's right hand as he played the guitar, and the guitarists in the preparation room all applauded unconsciously.

There was applause and whistles at the scene...

Liu Ziyang, who had been relatively calm in the past two days, could no longer sit still. He was now extremely glad that he had made the decision to increase the difficulty.

Didn’t this directly force Bian Lang to create a classic?

As soon as Bian Lang finished playing the guitar, Ding Ding started moving.

The loop of "dong dong da, dong da, dong dong da..." made percussionists like Tu Ling feel a skip in their hearts.

5 seconds later, Tong Qi's sand bucket followed up, and the two percussion instruments continued to play until 55 seconds. Immediately after Strauss's strumming, Bian Lang's fingerstyle continued.

With the preparation and addition of percussion instruments, the layering of the music was suddenly elevated to a higher level. Around 1 minute and 20 seconds, Strauss, who had just occasionally made a cameo appearance, finally began to officially take up his post.

When the rhythm guitar of the original 77 version came in, although the reaction was not as strong as that of the live performance of Frozen Hell, it meant that once the iconic chords of the main melody appeared, the tone of the song began to reveal a truly classic flavor from now on.

The sound field effect was not so good during the previous rehearsal. In this situation, Tong Qi listened to his own appropriate sand tube rhythm and truly felt Bian Lang's absolute control over the arrangement.

Under his absolute control, even if it is improvisation, no instrument will play a supporting role!

"It seems that I am not redundant! Tong Qi, stay calm and don't waste time!"

At 1 minute and 44 seconds, Bian Lang quickly changed to a guitar and played another single-note broken chord with a mellower tone, which, coordinated with Huang Kai's bass, brought the climax of this prelude to an unparalleled height.

But this classic piece did not last long. At 2 minutes and 10 seconds, with the sudden stop of Bian Lang's right hand, Strauss also stopped at the same time. Then Ding Ding used two double sounds of "dong dong" to end this performance.

Seeing the band members no longer moving, musicians like Liu Ziyang were almost gritting their teeth!

"That's it? Bian Lang is such a jerk!"
