Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Caizi's matter was very simple. She just had to sign an authorization and that was it. No matter how the assistant lawyer translated the specific matters to her, she didn't seem to care much.

Anyway, she felt that as long as it could help Bian Lang, she would be willing to do it even if she was asked to give false testimony.

However, when the young male assistant lawyer looked at her, there was a clear expression on his face that was different from usual.

After finishing the business, Zhuang Xian, who was already aware of the crowded scene at the office entrance today, asked, "Mr. Bian, is it convenient for us to satisfy your fans in our office?"

"Can it be solved in one go?"

Hearing Bian Lang's somewhat embarrassed tone, Zhuang Xian thought that Bian Lang was probably frightened by what happened downstairs just now, so he smiled and said, "Is it okay to take a photo together?"

"Row!"

Then Bian Lang's filter for the profession of lawyer was a little broken. It was okay for younger people and trainee lawyers, but when taking pictures, even a female senior guy at the same level as Zhuang Xian came close to Bian Lang and took the initiative to ask for Bian Lang's WeChat.

As for the huge group of people guarding the door of Jinlun, Jinlun finally called the security guard to come up, allowing Bian Lang to leave the office building smoothly.

When going to the restaurant, Bian Lang and Zhang Fan took Zhuang Xian's Land Rover.

As soon as the car drove out of the underground parking lot, Zhuang Xian started talking: "In our industry, the top is actually about managing personal connections. I'm a little better at litigation. Those who do IPOs really have friends all over the world."

Bian Lang knew that Zhuang Xian was explaining to him the reason for the scene just now, but he still asked curiously: "Have you ever encountered two former clients who wanted to sue each other and then entrusted you with a case at the same time?"

Zhuang Xian laughed after hearing this and said, "Such a situation will not happen. This time, the Rolling Stones are suing an intern I have taught before. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. To be honest, we are not normally needed in such a lawsuit, but as soon as the assistant told me, I asked someone to contact Lawyer Zhang.

Tan Yongzhong is an intern I once taught, but now he is using his legal knowledge to make money in the dark area. This is simply smearing Jinlun and trampling on the dignity of the law. So if I don’t send him to jail personally this time, I will be betraying the justice in my heart! "

These words really gave Bian Lang a new understanding of Zhuang Xian.

Bian Lang completely believed the first half of Zhuang Xian's words. As for the second half, no matter what the truth was, he felt that in the current social environment, it was really rare for Zhuang Xian to say such words given his identity and status.

Perhaps because he had done his homework beforehand, the restaurant Zhuang Xian chose was not a high-end place that often appears in legal dramas, but just a hot pot restaurant with a nice environment.

When he entered the box, he saw two women sitting inside. Even though Bian Lang had seen countless women, he didn't know whether these two people were sisters or mother and daughter.

In order to avoid making a fool of himself, Bian Lang could only wait for Zhuang Xian to introduce them. But before Zhuang Xian could open his mouth, the two girls looked at the younger one and jumped up from the stool.

He hesitated for a long time with a look of surprise on his face, and finally exclaimed: "Ah, it's really the God of Waves!"

"God of Waves?" Faced with such a domineering nickname, Bian Lang didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He also couldn't understand why he had so many nicknames, from Bian Mu to God of Waves, what kind of gods are these?

Only then did Zhuang Xian introduce them with a smile: "My daughter Zhuang Ling, her mother Du Yujuan."

"They are really mother and daughter!" Thinking this in his heart, Bian Lang said with a smile, "Bian Lang!" Then he introduced Zhang Fan and others who came with them.

Before Bian Lang sat down, Zhuang Ling ran over and picked up the guitar case leaning against the wall. When Bian Lang saw the Gibson logo on the guitar case, he became interested.

"How long have you been practicing guitar?"

Zhuang Ling paused for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Ah, I just want to collect a guitar signed by you, Langshen. I just bought it yesterday..."

"Uh...okay!"

After saying that, Bian Lang took the guitar case and opened it, and a brand new Gibson-Firebird came into his sight.

"Hey, reincarnation also requires a technical skill!" Bian Lang couldn't help but sigh.

Although this guitar is not a top-notch acoustic guitar, its price is also around 310 yuan. Bian Lang remembers that he bought his first acoustic guitar in his previous life by saving up pocket money for half a year, a Yamaha F, which he treasured very much.

Even in the later stages of forming a band, I felt reluctant to buy a Gibson-Firebird.

But when it came to Zhuang Ling, from her tone it sounded like it was just a common purchase of daily necessities.

However, even though he lamented, Bian Lang did not think it was a waste for such a guitar to fall into the hands of a little girl, nor did he think that such a guitar could only play its greatest value in the hands of a musician.

Seeing Bian Lang staring at him in a trance, Zhuang Ling asked, "Lord Lang, I heard from the boss that there are not many of these guitars, so they are great for collection. Can you tell me more about them?"

"That's the truth! It looks like new without a scratch. Can I try it out?"

"Okay! Okay! Can I record a video? If you can write a new song with this guitar, it can become a family heirloom!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present laughed. Bian Lang took out his guitar, tuned it, and said, "This guitar is called Gibson-Firebird, also known as the Firebird." The reason why Bian Lang could speak so freely was because of Xu Shaonian.

Firebird is less famous than other Gibson models, but Xu Shao Nian must be particularly fond of Firebird. Bian Lang remembers that Xu Shao Nian had performed with Firebird since 05 or 06.

At the Sichuan Province Fan Club in 2006, Xu Shao Nian played and sang several songs for everyone with this Firebird. It can be seen that he likes this Firebird very much and uses it almost every once in a while.

In 2014, Xu Shaoyan and his team went on vacation in Sri Lanka. The guitar they brought was also a Firebird guitar, and a video of him singing "Free as the Wind" went viral on the Internet.

At Xu Shao Nian's concert one year, the Firebird guitar was responsible for playing "Paradise on Earth".

The prelude of the song "Paradise on Earth" is an adapted version of the ancient guqin piece "Jiu Kuang". If one wants to play the sound of the guqin on the guitar, special tuning is required. In addition, there is a 3-minute guitar solo at the end of "Paradise on Earth".

With its special tuning and fingerstyle, there is no guitar more suitable than the Firebird that can meet both needs.

"Gibson's acoustic guitar has a bird branch, and there are three brothers in this bird branch. The eldest brother is the hummingbird, the second brother is the pigeon, and the third brother is this Firebird."

After hearing what Bian Lang said, Zhuang Ling looked at her mother with a bit of pride, as if to show off: "What do you think? Your daughter has good taste, right? Even Lang Shen can't let go of this zither!"

When buying this guitar yesterday, Zhuang Xian's wife felt that the price of over 4 yuan was a bit expensive.

If her daughter really wanted to learn guitar, she would be willing to spend the money, but if it was just for autograph collection, she felt it was not worth it.

The owner of the music store heard that he wanted to give Bian Lang an autograph, so he jokingly said, "If you really want to give it to Bian Lang to sign, you can always bring it back if you don't want it, and I'll raise the price. If you buy a bad one, it's better to just ask for an autographed photo."

The boss really thought that the girl was just trying to fool her mother and didn't take the matter of asking Bian Lang for an autograph seriously at all.

Although he said it as a joke, it was also true. There were too few Bian Lang-signed guitars on the market, and he saw a colleague who had one, saying that he spent 5 yuan to buy it to show off.

It was an entry-level Fender that came from Dayong’s previous music store, and the owner felt it was a pity to see it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If it was the Firebird, he would be willing to pay another 5 to buy it and keep it as a treasure.

Zhuang Xian's wife thought about it and it made sense. Since they were not short of money, they might as well buy a bad one and ask others to sign it. They might even end up being laughed at behind their backs.

Now looking at Bian Lang's performance, Zhuang Xian's wife feels that the money is well spent.

Bian Lang continued to tune the instrument and explained the basics of the instrument: "The Hummingbird was created in 1962. When it was first created, its fingerboard was narrow and its strings were short. Whether it was playing chords or strumming, the effect was very good and the feel was unmatched. It was originally designed for singers."

After strumming a C chord, Bian Lang continued, "Although the Hummingbird is good, the big brother is too versatile and doesn't have any special features. So a few years later, Gibson launched the second brother of the three bird brothers, the Dove. Compared with its big brother, the Hummingbird, the Dove has strengthened the characteristics of strumming, and for a while the Dove was unrivaled."

After strumming another Dm chord, Bian Lang continued, "And the third brother, the Firebird, was born many years later. At that time, Gibson launched a series of electric guitars called Firebird, and by the way, it also launched a Firebird acoustic guitar.

As the youngest of the three bird brothers, the Firebird is inclusive. It has the characteristics of both the hummingbird and the pigeon, and strengthens the balance of its strumming and decomposition. By the way, there is no standard version of the Firebird. Several are released every few years, so each one is a limited edition! "

Hearing this, Zhuang Xian could also tell that Bian Lang loved this zither. If he didn't like it, how could he understand it so clearly.

And it is a limited edition, which is a real favorite for people who like Giordano. It is just like a woman buying a bag, if she can afford to buy a limited edition, who would buy a regular one.

Thinking of this, he said casually: "Zhuang Xian, how about giving this zither to Mr. Bian Lang?"

Of course Zhuang Ling agreed. If she could give Bian Lang a guitar and he could use it in his performances in the future, as a rich woman, it would be something she could brag about for the rest of her life.

But before she could open her mouth to agree, Bian Lang waved his hand and continued, "Besides that, the Firebird has another advantage. Its string length makes it very convenient for special tuning, and the width of the nut is wide enough, so you won't feel the fingerboard is too narrow when fingerplaying."

Bian Lang kept another sentence in his heart: "This is also the reason why Xu Shao Nian chose to use it to play "Xiao Wai Yuan"..."

After saying this, Bian Lang stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang, although this piano is limited edition, it is not difficult for me to get it. Now that it is in your daughter's hands, it is her destiny. Just be careful when you keep it, don't ruin it! It would be a pity!"

Seeing Bian Lang say this, Zhuang Xian was a little embarrassed after he realized what was happening: "Yeah, with Bian Lang's current status in the Chinese rock circle, it doesn't take much for him to ask for a guitar."

Seeing Zhuang Xian like this, his wife quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Bian Lang. I’ll go back and ask the people at the music store for advice. We can make it at home if you want…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Ling quickly handed the pen to Bian Lang: "God Lang, I will definitely keep it well!"

Bian Lang was also in a good mood. Since he had touched the zither, there was no reason not to play a piece for Xu Shao Nian. He reached out to block the pen handed to him and took out a pick from the pocket watch of his jeans...

Seeing this action, without him saying anything, everyone present took out their phones and waited.

Even the waiter who was about to come in to serve the soup base was stopped by Zhuang Xian, "Please put it aside first, we will do it ourselves later!"

The pick paused on the strings for a few seconds, and Bian Lang's thoughts drifted to the video of Xu Shao Nian's team singing and playing on the beach in Sri Lanka... It felt like some things were his destiny!

He pressed a C chord with his left hand, and while strumming the strings, he began to sing: "Da La Di... Da La Da Di Dong... Da La La... Da La Da Di Dong..."

The singing never stopped, but the right hand kept switching between sweeping and plucking. The 16-bar prelude repeated the four words "Dala Didang" over and over again. But looking at Bian Lang closing his eyes and enjoying himself, everyone felt that it would be fine if the song continued like this until the end.

Especially Ayako, who had just known Bian Lang for a few days, she wanted to shout right now: "Mori Sei, Gangbadai..." But in order not to affect Bian Lang's performance and the quality of the video, she could only hold it back.

There is a gap in the instrumental performance of the prelude after 16 bars, and the lyrics of the main song are also sung from Bian Lang’s mouth at this time: I am as free as the wind, just like your tenderness cannot be retained... You push away my outstretched hands... Go away, it’s better not to look back... Endless drifting, the desire for freedom... All vicissitudes, endured alone..."

Bian Lang's voice does not have the showmanship of high notes and pitch changes, nor does he deliberately use his breath to rub the vocal cords to create the grainy feeling of a smoked and drunken voice. But after Bian Lang has embodied the sadness, forbearance and persistence of two generations of rockers, weighed the gains and losses, and seen through human nature, that kind of bohemian and freedom-loving feeling has touched everyone's heart with one voice!

"I gave you tenderness, but you refused to accept it... I gave you hands, real feelings... I gave you freedom, long-lasting memories, I gave you everything, but I couldn't stay..."

The ending note is very long, singing about not being able to stay, but perhaps thinking about not being able to let go.

Then the guitar stopped, like a sigh!

But the boy then responded: "I am as free as the wind..."
