Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

It’s one thing to think about, but we still have to wait and see their strength before we can know the details.

By the time Tao Xiaoyu finished singing her last song, it was nearly 11 o'clock. If it were in another city, it would be outrageous for such a large-scale concert with insufficient appeal to last until 11 o'clock, and not many people would be able to stick with it throughout the whole thing.

But in Banna during the special time of the Water Splashing Festival, it is perfectly reasonable to go to a barbecue stall or a bar to start the second half after watching the show.

Tao Xiaoyu didn't leave after coming down. She wanted to wait and watch the rehearsals of these bands, especially Bian Lang's.

The employees of the event company who had previously contacted Ai Hao now really dared to stay as far away as possible. Even a first-line star like Tao Xiaoyu had to wait there obediently, but he actually dared to arrange other people's rooms out according to the company's instructions. I really don't know if he can still work in this industry in the future.

As for the on-site details now, the person in charge of the event came directly to coordinate, and there is no longer the indifferent attitude as before.

But he also noticed that the celebrity teams that were quite polite to him yesterday were avoiding him today. Under the circumstances where they couldn't get away from him, they just smiled awkwardly and said hello, which made him feel uncomfortable. Although he could think that this matter was probably related to Bian Langzhe, he couldn't think of the key to the problem!

Of course, Bian Lang didn’t pay much attention to him!

After finishing all the things above, Bian Lang asked the bands brought by Yan Daokan to go on stage one by one.

With expectations in mind, Bian Lang paid less attention to the bands other than the three sisters. Another band directly covered the Rolling Stones' "Sunflower", which made Bian Lang a little confused: "This is not a talent show!"

When the three sisters came on stage, Bian Lang specifically asked, "Brother Yan, what is the name of this band?"

"Nozhen Band..."

"This name is a bit strange!" Bian Lang had just finished speaking when Yan Daokan explained to him, "These three girls are not Dai, but Monba. They came to Banna with their mother to do business. I remember the first time I saw these three sisters, they seemed to be only seven or eight years old..."

Bian Lang said "Oh" and didn't say much. Since they are from the Monba ethnic group, the name Nuozhen should be a transliteration, and there must be some special meaning in it.

Instead, He Lei smiled and said to Bian Lang: "Lao Ye fell in love with their eldest sister last year, and ended up treating my younger sister to meals for half a month..."

"Brother Ye is also a great guy!"

As the two were chatting, they saw that the three sisters on the stage not only played keyboards, guitars and drums, but also some other instruments that Bian Lang had never seen before. But he was almost certain that they were traditional musical instruments from XZ, and they were also the kind with a religious color.

This song is not long, and it ends before 3 minutes. Although the lyrics are not complicated, Bian Lang, who was attracted by the bass line of the lead singer and guitarist, thought it was good enough just by listening to the chanting without any specific meaning.

To be objective, Dayong's judgment is: "These three girls play music with their brains, while the other bands are just passionate!"

Therefore, the opening band spot for tomorrow's show has been decided to be given to the Nozhen band.

The other bands didn’t seem to care much about not being selected and just came over one by one to ask Bian Lang for autographs and take photos with him.

Of course, there are also people who like others, such as Ding Ding, Di Li and Teacher Shi!

Of course, the subsequent rehearsal also started with the Nozhen band. Those who were used to the Rolling Stones' rehearsal following the order had no objection to this.

The key point is that they don't need to line up all the time today, the main thing is to tune the sound. And with the rhythm of the nightlife in Banna, even if they play until late at night, they won't feel very tired.

Besides, this new-faced triplet band is really a bit rare, and a bunch of veteran rockers are quite willing to appreciate it.

That's what these rock guys think, but the three girls from the band Nozhen don't think so.

The dozens of musicians below were the kind that any one of them would sincerely call "teacher". So now it felt not like a rehearsal, but like a graduation performance.

None of the people in the audience are real audience members. They are like school teachers who can decide your life or death with just one word!

But even though they were a bit nervous, the final result was not bad. The three songs were all very well done. The only thing to find fault with was that the commander felt that the three girls were at a disadvantage if they sang this kind of song to open the show.

And there were more than one person who thought so, so Zhuanzi directly suggested: "I think it would be more appropriate to let Ma Yuan sing the opening song, and arrange a time for these three girls to sing around dark!"

Jin Ma didn't care, they were used to it anyway: "Brother Yuanzi, we are fine, the problem is that it's you who are going to do it before and after dark, what do you think?"

He wasn't trying to find fault. With Jin Ma's straightforward personality, he just really wanted to know the answer.

Rafter really didn't realize this: "We're at 7:, it will be dark by then!"

"It was dark then, this is Yunnan Province, not BJ... What do you say, rafter? I think we can give in!"

"Sure, we can just do whatever we want. Let the young girls be in the front. The older ones will take pictures and sunbathe..."

So, somehow, the Nozhen band successfully mixed into the official lineup from being a band with a long opening performance.

When the three girls heard the news, they didn't know whether to be happy or...

As for Bian Lang, he didn't say much. He just asked Zhou Ketong to get ready and have a good chat with the three sisters after the music festival to try to get them signed by the Rolling Stones.

There were basically no problems with the subsequent rehearsals. He Lei even asked his family to move a barbecue table to the empty square, and the group of rock musicians, who had no intention of returning to the hotel to rest, started eating and drinking here again.

The three girls from the Nuozhen band, who were also embarrassed to leave, naturally joined in. However, when they saw Xu Ye, the ambiguous smiles on their lips made Xu Ye feel a little bitter!

"Brother Lang, why did you just…"

"You wanted to have three of them at once, but they found out, and then they just took the opportunity to tease you."

“Hahaha!” After taking a sip of beer, Bian Lang laughed so hard that he fell backwards. “If this happened in ancient times, it might even be written into a good story!”

After saying that, Bian Lang stood up and walked towards the table where all the female musicians were.

Seeing Bian Lang coming, Ding Ding stood up and made room for him, then went to the next table to ask Kong Liang for advice.

After Bian Lang sat down, he had a drink with the three girls first, and then asked directly: "What are your names, and what does the name of this band mean?"

Hearing this question, the short-haired girl among the three girls spoke first: "My name is Xia Ruobing, my second sister is Xia Ruoqing, and my youngest sister is Xia Ruojie."

Although he didn't say it out loud, Bian Lang added in his mind: "Then where is Xia Ruoyu?"

After her elder sister finished speaking, the younger sister Xia Ruojie added: "Nuozhen is a transliteration, which means treasure fairy in our Monba language."

"Oh, Fairy Bao, this is a good implication! So is your surname a Chinese surname?"

"No, our last name is Xia Ruo."

This time, Bian Lang really learned a lot. He didn't expect that this surname, which he thought would only appear in fantasy novels, would actually be encountered in real life.

"This surname is quite impressive. So, do you have to find a son-in-law to live with you in the future? Otherwise, it would be such a pity..." Mu Mian spoke quickly and expressed his thoughts directly.

But the three girls did not respond, and their facial expressions did not change.

Bian Lang realized that there might be something hidden, so he changed the subject and asked, "How many years have you been in the band?"

The elder sister with short hair answered again: "1 year. We started helping out at home after graduating from Yunnan Arts Institute the year before last. But mom said she wanted us to live a different life. We have loved music since we were young..."

"Oh, it's our junior schoolmate!" When Bian Lang said this, he turned his head to look at Jin Ma.

Jin Ma obviously didn't hear it and was still discussing something with Liang Zi.

At this time, Mumian interrupted again: "Are you also from the sculpture department?"

It was originally a joke, but who would have thought that the younger sister, who is a guitarist and part-time lead singer, would say, "I am. My eldest sister and second sister are both from the Department of Ethnic Vocal Music. I had the lowest score at the time, so I was transferred there."

After saying this, the second sister Xia Ruoqing, who had been silent the whole time, finally added, "Now because of Senior Bian, the score for the sculpture department is probably much higher than our national vocal music!"

Hearing this answer, Bian Lang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the band of the original owner and Li Yiliang.

"Oh, then you really are my junior sister. How is the music environment here in Banna?"

The three sisters looked at each other, and then the eldest sister spoke up: "It's easy to find a job as a resident singer in a bar, but you can't sing our original songs. The songs we sing the most recently are "Goodbye Jack" and New Pants' songs."

Hearing this, Bian Lang felt happy but also a little emotional.

The soil of original music is still too harsh for new bands. But for the entire rock music circle, fresh blood is very important.

After all, as the Hedgehog song goes: "One generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be someone young!"

If there are no new bands to attract young people like them to listen to rock music, it will be difficult for young people to have the opportunity to hear the classic works of their former rock predecessors in the current entertainment industry controlled by capital.

The same situation happened on the original Earth. In a sense, Chinese rock music should thank the Master over the years.

If the wizard hadn't covered some new rock songs according to his own preferences, it would be hard to say when bands like Constance's Variations would be discovered and liked by music fans.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang didn't want to wait for Zhou Ketong to contact him, so he directly extended an olive branch: "Are you interested in joining Rolling Stone?"

The female musicians from the Rolling Stones present were not too surprised by this, because although the three sisters still had some gaps in skills and experience in playing musical instruments, the aura displayed in these three original songs was indeed worthy of Bian Lang extending an olive branch.

You can tell that their music has a strong national cultural gene, or perhaps a gene of religious belief in it. Humanity and tragedy are not minor themes in rock music creation, but after incorporating these ideological elements that others do not possess, the band's music presentation has a somewhat transcendent temperament.

This may also involve the relationship of three sisters connected by blood...

As for the reactions of the three sisters, they were somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

The three sisters of the Xia Ruo family did not even exchange glances with each other, but replied in unison: "There is no such plan at the moment."

Facing this answer, Bian Lang did not feel frustrated at all. Instead, he was more curious about the reason behind their determination: "Can I ask why?"

It was still the elder sister Xia Ruobing who answered: "Because we still want to work hard on the music we like for a few years without any constraints. If one day we feel it is time, the Rolling Stones of the seniors over there will definitely be our only choice!"

This may sound a bit weird to the female musicians of the Rolling Stones, but from the perspective of the three sisters, it is actually understandable.

After all, after joining Rolling Stone, although the company and Bian Lang himself never set any KPIs for the band, there are now two music festival brands, the Rolling Stone LAB which is about to be completed, plus "Summer of the Band"... there are so many ready-made performance opportunities in front of you. Even if no one forces you, you will have the idea of ​​competing.

Coupled with the basically established domestic top post-production team, it is possible to directly accelerate the creative cycle that would have been very long.

If it were a normal entertainment company, this would definitely be a rare good thing, but for a rock band, it is not necessarily a good thing. A work that is squeezed out of a toothpaste may not be bad, but a work that is polished over a long period of time must be outstanding in some aspects.

This is why some rock bands on the original Earth can become popular again after re-arranging their songs many years later, such as the Frozen Hell version of "California Guest House". The live performance with a few acoustic guitars looks more artistic than the original live version.

Facing this answer, Bian Lang smiled and raised his glass and said, "Then I wish you good luck. The door of the Rolling Stones will always be open to you!"

When the three sisters saw the smile on Bian Lang's face, they finally felt relieved.

They discussed this matter after the success of the Rolling Stone Music Festival last year, and all three of them believed without hesitation that now was not the best time for them to join the Rolling Stones.

But they never expected that this invitation came directly from Bian Lang himself.

In their naive minds, not many people in the circle could resist the temptation of an invitation made by Bian Lang himself.

The ability to make your song popular is enough to attract many pure vocal singers in the music circle, not to mention rock bands that have always been at the bottom of the food chain.

But because of this, the three sisters felt that if they joined the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang really wrote songs for them, it would probably limit their ideas. If the song was particularly good, it might become an insurmountable peak in their creative journey.

If it were a normal rock band, this might not be too prominent. But the three sisters insisted on preserving their own ethnic characteristics, and their music must have their own beliefs as the background!

But their beliefs are too far away from those of a Han Chinese like Bian Lang.

Of course, Bian Lang didn’t know about their mental activities. If he knew, he would just ask: “Are the “Savior Me” and “Lharo Tara” enough? If not, I will give you another Cangyang Gyatso…”
