Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

This was a disadvantageous song choice, and unsurprisingly, Dong Youbian was voted the third from the bottom by the audience.

Chen Shuting, who knew the result, didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. If Dong Youbian could make it to the finals after all the ups and downs, it might be a good thing for her.

However, judging from the two episodes that have aired so far, the audience's preferences are relatively balanced, and no one's popularity is particularly prominent.

According to the competition rules, there will be new singers appearing in the next episode, and I don’t know what the situation will be like.

The countdown to the start of recording for Rolling Stone's "Summer of Band" has already begun, and participating bands have basically cleared out their schedules for a month or two and are following the rhythm of the Rolling Stones.

Recording a variety show and then the Xibiqi Music Festival, then coming back to record again, and then the Rolling Stone Music Festival!

More than two-thirds of the bands participating this time were not from the Rolling Stones, and 80% of the musicians had never participated in a variety show. Even those who had participated in "Unique Band" probably felt that they were not much different from last year's.

But once they entered the Rolling Stone Music Industrial Park, the two band members who arrived first were stunned: "Oh my god, this is a plus version of Tree Village?"

Hearing what Li Hao said, Lao Zhao interrupted in astonishment: "How could Shu Village have such conditions at that time? Even Plus can't compare to it. If it is established in the future, this will be a utopia for us musicians! Kaizi, could it be that the Rolling Stones bought this land just for this matter?"

The one leading Mu Ge and operating the fir pole is Huang Kai. He and Lao Zhao were on the show last year, so these two have the most say when it comes to the conversation.

After Huang Kai walked around Lanzhou, he glanced at Li Hao, who looked incredulous, and pointed at the recording studio where the final work was being done. He said, "Li Hao, put away your inexperienced look and look inside before you speak."

Old Zhao thought that the director was still Qin Ge, and the production team had not changed much except for the addition of Rolling Stone and Yunnan Provincial TV Station. How much would the program change?

But who would have thought that after entering this place named Lexia Pavilion, Lao Zhao had the urge to run back.

It’s not that I want to withdraw from the competition, but I want to go back and take out those cool things at home that I haven’t used for a long time.

The originally worthless expression on Li Hao's face has now become even more frightened and distorted.

Tian Yuan, who always wore sunglasses and seemed to be never awake, helped Lao Zhao to speak out what was in his mind: "I was careless and didn't bring enough clothes!"

If you say that these rock musicians have no idol baggage, there aren't many of them. They just do whatever makes them feel comfortable on weekdays.

But their awe of the stage, especially a stage that they felt a little afraid to imagine, suddenly rose to an unprecedented level.

Every band and every musician has their own unique aesthetic logic when it comes to musical aesthetics and band image.

Especially the punk party!

"I say you guys are really funny. Although Chuncheng is not a first-tier city, it has all the necessary brands and vintage stores. Why don't you just buy some first..."

"Kaizi, if you have time during rehearsal, take us for a walk..."

"Yes, we have to go to Old Tan's for a drink. I just don't believe it, how can his fortune-telling water be any different from mine?" When Li Hao said this, he had already made up his mind that he had to find a way to get back Old Tan's empty wine bottle that was said to have been used by Bian Lang.

The worst that could happen is that he accidentally drops it, to prevent this guy from showing off while making dirty money with that "wine dispenser" whose authenticity he is not sure.

After watching the show, Lao Zhao sighed again: "In the past, when we watched those super rock performances abroad, we said that they were meaningless, but in fact we were envious. It's just that there is no such condition in China, so we can only say a few sour words.

But now that I've seen your show, I feel like we deserve to be abandoned by the audience. Even those young actors who can't sing know how to use stage effects to excite the audience, but why do we always stick to that rut? "

Li Hao also agreed 100% with what Lao Zhao said: "Yes, our music is already explosive. If it is matched with an awesome stage, wouldn't the explosiveness be doubled?"

This would be a joke if it was said before someone did it, but if someone really achieved it, then every rock fan would have to praise the Rolling Stones.

As a few people were walking out, they saw a few foreigners in work clothes walking in. When they saw Huang Kai, they greeted him and it seemed that they had a good relationship with him.

"Sound team?"

For rock bands, it goes without saying how important live sound is. Good equipment can make the audience resonate better and hear more details.

This is also the reason why many rock bands refuse to perform commercially, because these contractors often skimp on equipment, and some even don't understand it at all. This also leads to many bands' records sounding good, but when they perform live, they sound like a car accident, especially for heavy-duty bands.

Think about it, even an awards ceremony at the Yuncun level turned into a farce, so what about the others?

And it's not just the equipment, the tuner's skills are also a key. Otherwise, would bands like Lao Cui in China have to bring their own tuners to music festivals?

However, in this regard, the performance of the Rolling Stones has never been criticized by people in the industry. Liu Hao asked about it now just to confirm what level it is.

Huang Kai nodded and said, "Yes, they were sent directly from DGM, and the lighting and stage design team also sent people to help."

Liu Hao and Qi Yue are familiar with each other and recognize her level. Since they still have to seek external help after Qi Yue comes, the final result can be imagined.

Speaking of this, Huang Kai followed up the topic and said something serious: "After you submit the repertoire for your premiere, go to Qi Yue and the team to discuss the lighting and stage design."

Everyone knew this process, but they didn't expect Huang Kai to speak so formally, so Lao Zhao and Liu Hao agreed to it seriously.

Everyone wants to see what's going on. It's just a matter of determining the lighting positions. Is there anything else you can do?

After visiting this place, Huang Kai took a few people to the factory building next door, temporarily named Hall 2. This factory building is about 1000 square meters and its function is to provide logistical support services for Le Xia Hall.

Although the format is similar to the previous "Unique Band", the row of separate rehearsal rooms makes these people feel that the Rolling Stones are really awesome this time!

"Kaizi, are all these prepared for this time? The investment is not small. If we mess up, then..."

"Li Hao, can you say something nice?" Old Zhao retorted to Li Hao with one sentence and then looked at Huang Kai and waited for the answer.

Huang Kai didn't know much about these things, but he could still brag about them: "These are all planned according to the long-term program. They will be useful in many places in the future."

After leaving Hall 2, Huang Kai led a few people to Hall 3. This hall was smaller, about 400 square meters. But it had two floors, the lower floor had only three walls and was now used as a temporary warehouse. He led a group of people directly to the second floor.

Although this building is smaller and shorter than the other buildings, it is the closest to Dianchi Lake.

Looking out from the large floor-to-ceiling windows that have been replaced with tempered glass, you can almost take in the entire beautiful scenery of the east bank of Dianchi Lake.

Looking at the second floor which had been cleaned but was empty, Lao Zhao couldn't help but ask, "What is this used for?"

Huang Kai did not keep the secret and directly replied: "This is the place for you to sell CDs and peripherals. There will be 800 audiences for each show, and there will be various media activities during the recording period... Tiger Master should have explained this to you a long time ago, right?"

Seeing the confused expressions on these people's faces after hearing this, Huang Kai knew that they had probably forgotten about this matter!

"Okay! I'll call and ask them to mail it to you..."

It’s not that Lao Zhao and the others forgot about it, but they felt that the surrounding market that Tiger Master mentioned was unreliable. Even if they brought the products, they wouldn’t be able to sell many. It would be better to wait until the show was broadcast and then sell them online.

But now after walking around like that, I feel like we, the rough guys, were too careless.

The Rolling Stones are not just doing a variety show, it feels like they are rebuilding the rock industry. This market is not just about selling a few CDs and promoting the band, it is about letting more people fully understand the rock culture.

If you don't support this, it would simply be...

Thinking of this, Lao Zhao and his friends all took out their cell phones and quickly called those band acquaintances who had not arrived yet to remind them.

Even if Pan Jianhu emphasized this matter a thousand times, it would not be as effective as the bragging of those who arrived earlier.

It took almost 2 hours to walk around the place, and we saw all kinds of supporting facilities that they could think of and couldn't think of, and the Rolling Stones had them all.

After going to the recording studio of the school across the street to take a look, Lao Zhao was immediately tempted: "Kaizi, are the housing prices here high?"

"Hey, Lao Zhao, if you just sell your old, run-down house in the inner ring, it won't be a problem to move here and buy a large flat..."

Pastoral Song and Joystick are now doing pretty well in the circle, and they were all so surprised. One can imagine what the reactions would be of other middle and lower-level bands when they saw this.

Especially those who are still relying on various side jobs to subsidize their bands will want to ask about the threshold for signing a contract with Rolling Stone after reading this.

……

Ever since Hua Yan discovered the beautiful scenery on the roof of the factory and took Rowling up there once, the Rolling Stones had to weld a special staircase on the outside so that the musicians could go up to watch the sunset, barbecue and drink beer.

From the first day of entering the venue, the Rolling Stones team had someone in charge of recording the process with video, recording how this place was transformed from a desolate industrial ruin to what it is today.

I just happened to have cut some of them out tonight, so Lao Pan took them out and showed them to everyone.

The more Lao Zhao watched the quick-cut video, the more he felt something was wrong. According to his idea, it would take at least a month or two to turn this abandoned industrial "site" into what it is now. But looking at the date on the video, it has only been less than two weeks.

Although China's speed has shocked the world, this is also based on its cash capacity.

It is not a bad thing that the Rolling Stones have money in the circle, but how to spend it does require some courage. If it is purely for the money, it is absolutely impossible to do so.

Especially after listening to Pan Jianhu's explanation of the cause and effect of the incident, the rock fans felt that the Rolling Stones were very considerate.

If they were to encounter such a thing, the first thing they would think about is changing the schedule and finding a new studio. As for the band’s schedule, according to the situation before Bian Lang became popular, the band’s survival situation was even worse than that of Yuanqiutu before the summer. Who would care about your schedule, because apart from unprofitable tours, there was basically no work.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhao picked up a bottle of Xibiqi and called on everyone, "Come on, toast to the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang!"

"Cheers to the Rolling Stones! Cheers to Bian Lang!"

Everyone roared from the bottom of their hearts, which frightened Bian Lang who had just come up. He was afraid of heights to begin with, and the strong wind on the roof almost threw him to the ground.

Fortunately, Dayong helped him from behind, and then...

"Hey, Bian Lang is here, come quickly!" Pan Jianhu shouted as soon as he saw him.

Bian Lang slowed down for a moment, then went over and said to everyone, "I'm still alive, why are you toasting behind my back?"

"Who knew you would come here at this time? Didn't we just hear what Brother Hu said about the venue? We thought..." After Li Hao said that, Bian Lang also understood.

"Thank you all for coming to support me. I won't say more. Let's just record the show together..."

After sitting down, Bian Lang chatted with Li Hao for a while, and Li Hao asked in a roundabout way: "This time it's over, this place will be developed into a music and cultural industrial park, then I will be Si Gu, right?"

"We don't even know how the flow of people will be, you're planning to open a chain store, Mr. Li..."

"Old Zhao and the others are all asking about buying a house. I think your place will become the second largest rock music base in the country sooner or later. Leave some room for yourself."

Probably no one would question that the first one is BJ, but there are different opinions about which one is the second one. Some say it is SJZ, some say it is Shanghai, but no one says Spring City.

But now these rock people seem to be very sure of this, because here we have the Edge Wave and the Rolling Stones!

"You can ask Master Tiger about this. I don't know the details. By the way, what will you sing in the first show?"

When asked this, before Li Hao could answer, Lao Zhao spoke first: "Let's sing "I Really Need It" and see if we can make the first episode full of songs written by you, Bian Lang."

This is just talk. Bian Lang doesn't even know many of the bands. If it's the fourth, fifth, or sixth bands of "Summer of the Band", it's really hard to say.

Lao Pan took this to heart. There will be an adaptation competition in the later stages of the competition, and he will prepare a playlist of the Bianlang series, which will definitely attract a lot of attention.

You can also check out these bands’ private preferences for Bian Langge!

At this time, Li Hao interrupted and asked, "By the way, what are the rules for the audience this time?"
