Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Through the connection, host Wang Han felt for the first time that he was hosting a news program.

Seeing Dong Youbian's expression, he immediately greeted Bian Lang, "Hello Bian Lang, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to meet you, but I didn't expect that our first meeting would be in such a creative way."

Due to the time difference in signal transmission, Bian Lang spoke to the camera a few seconds later: "Hello, Mr. Wang, and hello to all the audience members of the "Musician" program!"

After saying this, Bian Lang slightly turned sideways, revealing the focus of the camera to the audience behind him, and invited everyone to join in: "Come on, everyone at the music festival, let's say hello to our friends at the show, and let them feel the enthusiasm of our music festival!"

After saying that, Bian Lang took two steps back, did a metal salute with his band members, and led the entire audience in shouting, "Rock and roll will never die!"

Wang Han, who was at the recording site, took a small step back and said in a somewhat surprised voice: "Oh my! The sound wave made me take a step back. It seems that the audience at the music festival is really too enthusiastic! Friends in the audience, did you feel it?"

The audience at the variety show had been recording since 2 p.m. and were already exhausted. In addition, the previous singer's performance was a bit old-fashioned, causing the atmosphere to become a bit dull before that.

But now the surprise created by the Fruit Channel and the Blueberry Music Festival has reignited everyone's enthusiasm for watching.

"Feel!"

"Dong Youbian, I love you!"

"Rolling Stones, rock and roll never dies!"

There are still some rock fans among the audience. They never expected that they could watch the live broadcast of the music festival on "The Music Man" and they are looking forward to the subsequent performances even more.

The sharp-eyed Wang Han stared at the screen and spotted Guo Sichu. Under normal circumstances, he would not have missed such a hot spot.

However, he thought that the program team had invited the other party before but was rejected. If he took the initiative to greet him now, there might be some bad comments against the program afterwards, so he gave up.

Wang Han was naturally looking forward to the perfect ending of this performance and creating history. But at the same time, he was also very clear about how difficult it was to achieve perfection without any mistakes in such a remote performance without any communication or rehearsal!

After Dong Youbian regained his composure, he spoke again: "So, Bian Lang, are you guys ready?"

Bian Lang made an OK gesture and said, "Come on, Youbian!"

Then the picture of the music festival changed from a bird's-eye view of the stage to a normal picture.

With just one turn, everyone saw Guo Sichu standing in the lead singer's position.

The surprise at the scene instantly turned into an uproar. Dong You listened to the countdown coming from the in-ear monitor and, without thinking much, began to adjust his mood and wait for the accompaniment to come.

As for the music festival, it’s completely different!

Many music fans had already seen Guo Sichu, but they thought she would still be the backing vocalist like yesterday, so they were not too surprised.

But when they saw her standing in the lead singer's position and Bian Lang standing next to Mu Man, they began to have all kinds of thoughts in their minds.

As for the fans of the queen and Dong Youbian who were watching the live broadcast online, they were completely upset.

"What is this? Are you sure this isn't a TV show?"

"That's definitely not the case. Even the TV series wouldn't dare to write that way!"

"Awesome! Bian Lang's move was really awesome."

“Hahahahahaha…this scene is so beautiful. Regardless of the relationship, this is definitely the most classic scene in the music world this year!”

"Come on Queen Chu, take down this Border Town prodigal!"

As for the three people involved, they had no such thoughts in their minds at the moment. They just wanted to do their best to present the most perfect effect in this coincidence performance.

Bian Lang turned around and nodded to the female musicians, and then Su Kan and Strauss started.

Amid the leaps of ethereal electronic synthesized sounds, Strauss, with his metal slide, showed off the heart-touching single-chord ruff of the original prelude, and played the guitar's overtones with the vitality of the guqin.

Then Bian Lang, who was playing an electric guitar, also joined in the performance. His fingers occasionally touched the strings, and an arpeggio suddenly but not abruptly blended into the music.

The lead singers on both sides were fascinated by the performance, and the audiences on both sides were mesmerized.

At the "Musician" scene, although this song did not require accompaniment, the band's musicians did not go downstairs to rest. They stood on the stage as a backdrop, watching the images coming from the music festival and listening attentively to the original arrangement that Dong Youbian was reluctant to change.

Seeing the close-ups of Strauss and Bian Lang, the two guitarists were immediately impressed: "How could such details be drawn out just by looking at the sheet music?"

What they said was absolutely true. In his previous life, Bian Lang had consulted Tie Shao privately, which was why he could perform so flawlessly now. And at that time, Bian Lang even teased Tie Shao: "You have won the Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Album, why do you go to a show and still get asked who you are?"

Tieshao was also puzzled at the time: "Yeah, you said that I debuted with a good song and won the Golden Melody Award, but when I came to the Folk Song Show this time, why are there still people asking me who this person is? It’s not Xu Wei, Xu Song, or Zheng Jun..." At that time, he was in the audience of the Folk Song Show 2022, and Bian Lang went there as a spectator.

However, Bian Lang's next answer made all the musicians present laugh wildly: "Ah? I know Xu Wei, Zheng Jun and Xu Jun, but who is Xu Song?"

As for the staff who had heard Chen Jianju's version of the arrangement, they all sighed at the first moment: "Director Chen is really... he messed up the song when it wasn't his own..."

And Dong Youbian on the stage had a circle of spotlights behind her focusing on her back, lighting up the stage in her black clothes.

Dong You closed his eyes, recalling the scene from last year's birthday crime scene live, waiting for instructions from the earphones.

All I can think of is Bian Lang singing at the top of his lungs in Jingwei Filling the Sea: "May you be as cool as the wind, as wild as a dog, and rush into the dimming lights..."

Maybe she was like that in the past, but now she is neither cool nor wild. Instead, she seems a little dazzled as she plunges into the dim lights.

After the 23-second prelude, Queen Guo Sichu and folk music master Dong Youbian, in different venues and facing different audiences, sang almost simultaneously: "Crossing the mountains and rivers, the road ahead is not full of life... colorful, but it seems to be lacking, what a pity..."

Dong Youbian, who came from a folk music background, had a sense of story as soon as he opened his mouth. He spoke with his eyes closed and immediately captured the hearts of the audience.

Chen Manman, who had been worried in the audience, finally put her mind at ease. It was at this moment that she became more certain of Dong Youbian's decision not to adapt the song.

This arrangement, which would be bland if a little more, and greasy if a little more, is far superior to the so-called world music string version adapted by Chen Jianju.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, the original earth would be without Teacher Li Guyi's Unforgettable Tonight.

Two guitars plus keyboards, drums and bass are enough to use notes to bring everyone's emotions into the story. Both Dong Youbian and Guo Sichu's vocals become supporting roles.

The director listened to the effect and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Bianlang is Bianlang! This is really incomparable. If there is any flaw, it is probably that this is not a live accompaniment."

But he didn't care too much about this. After all, as long as Dong Youbian could make it to the finals, wouldn't Bian Lang come to support his girlfriend?

As for Qian Shaowu, the sound engineer, he has even more experience.

This is only the second episode of the program, but since Lao Jiang proposed the concept of absolute live performance, many singers are actually still a little nervous.

After all, after being boiled in the tepid environment of music editing for so many years, how much real live performance ability do these pop singers have left?

So it is no surprise that in these past performances, basic mistakes such as singing out of tune, singing the wrong words, and missing a song were inevitable. Coupled with the arrangement of the head director Chen Jianju, there were too many unsatisfactory aspects in the first two shows.

He could already imagine the quality of this kind of performance after it was broadcast. Some of the singer's fanatical fans would definitely start complaining about the sound system.

Fortunately, with this incident, at least it gave those people favorable evidence that it would be impossible for them to find any flaws in the sound system.

He also thought of an interesting thing, which is how netizens will evaluate the singing skills and versions of the two female singers after the show is broadcast.

This kind of thing, where two different singers perform the same song with the same band's live accompaniment in different venues, is truly unprecedented and will be difficult to replicate in the future.

As for Dong Youbian on the stage, he was deeply involved in the song, just like the lyrics he was singing now: "I am always thinking about you, feeling uneasy, too ashamed to speak and tasting the loneliness..."

This is what she really thinks about Bian Lang and this relationship now.

Guo Sichu at the music festival had her hair loose, completely different from her usual elegant and dignified image in front of the camera. She looked like a crazy girl who had been locked up at home for too long and was suddenly let out to have fun.

After giving up all her singing techniques, her singing style today, which was purely based on emotion, really opened the eyes of the audience at the scene and online.

Just like the lyrics she is singing at this moment: "Stubbornly, I plunge into the dimming lights..."

At this moment, under Guoli's shutter, the two beams of light on the stage were particularly dazzling, illuminating two people respectively.

One is Bian Lang with an earphone flying in the air, and the other is Guo Sichu who has taken off the microphone and is ready to start singing!

What the variety show crew didn't expect was that while Dong You was singing the chorus, the ambient sound of thousands of people singing together at the music festival was somehow added in.

At this moment, not only the fans at the scene, but even the singers who were watching TV in the preparation room at the back were excited!

"Hey, this! Ten thousand people singing in chorus! Is this the chorus scheduled for tonight?"

"How...how is this done?"

In order to ensure the effect of this recording, this group of people has rehearsed three times. In addition to the results, they have already known the process and direction of this program.

When Wang Han introduced it earlier, the preparation room was already in complete chaos.

Especially Liu Yao, she understands and supports Dong Youbian very much. After all, the arrangements of Bian Lang's songs are basically so perfect that minor changes will ruin the classics, and major changes will lead to no ideas at all.

In addition, Chen Jianju is a producer with a very limited aesthetic sense. When she found out that this side could not be performed according to the original version, she wondered what she would do if she were Dong Youbian, and what she would do if she were Bian Lang.

But even she, a rock star, had never thought of such a fantastic idea.

“It’s so cool to be able to play music remotely and still be at the music festival!

Especially now with the chorus of tens of thousands of people, she felt that the first place in this show must belong to Dong Youbian!

"There is no answer, only the smoke of gunpowder. I hope you can be as cool as the wind, as wild as a dog, and rush into the dim lights..."

Dong Youbian opened his arms and used the angry voice he learned from Yang Meng. He turned up the sound pressure to the maximum and crushed the whole audience directly. Combined with the chorus of tens of thousands of people, it scared Wang Han who was sitting on the side of the stage.

When he received the news from the director, he was very curious about how the song would be performed by this magical live combination, but he never expected it to be like this!

In his mind, this feeling was like the battle between two armies in a movie. While one side was still figuring out how to fight, the coach on the other side started rushing over with a bloodthirsty aura and thousands of troops.

The key is that the 10,000 cavalrymen behind him were still shouting at the top of their lungs: "For freedom!"

Although he shouldn't have, he couldn't help but think of a question: "Compared to those bands' performances, can our live performance really be called a live performance?"

As for the music festival at this time, Guo Sichu was already like a madman, holding the microphone, letting his long hair and sweat twitching in the air, and bending down to squat to release all the breath in his body through chest resonance.

He doesn't know whether he can break into the dimly lit Bianlang, but he now sees Guo Sichu as the "himself" who is "cool as the wind, wild as a dog..." instead of the lazy singing queen Dong Youbian who sits on the altar.

During the second chorus, Bian Lang came to the front of the stage with his electric guitar. He stepped on the refrain and sang with Guo Sichu, who was already "crazy" on the other side: "There is no answer!"

With the close-ups of the two on the screen, Dong Youbian was also added to the "Musician" live show. Under the double impact of vision and hearing, even Chen Jianju at the scene could only sigh: "Who can surpass this version in the future?"
