Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 63: Dyeing the Night Black (please follow up, please vote for recommendation)

At 29:[-] p.m., without any preparation or warning from the outside world, the two major music platforms and Xiaopozhan simultaneously uploaded the sound source and video of a song called "Dye the Night Black".The pop-up window and scrolling of the homepage of Xiazi, together with the homepage recommendations of Yuncun and Xiaopozhan, made this song signed by the singer Huaxia Rock [-] ignite this ordinary night at once.

Bai Dao, who had already received the invitation, glanced at the new moon shrouded in clouds and mist outside the window. He put on his earphones, took a sip of freshly brewed green tea, and spit the tea leaves that flowed down his lips back into the cup. Looking forward to watching the video.

There was no music at the opening, only an empty stage with very dark light and almost black-and-white tone. The cones of light from behind did not directly hit the air, and then were swallowed in the darkness.

A man whose face could not be seen clearly, wearing a black leather jacket and large black square sunglasses was behind the microphone stand, next to the camera's lower left corner. A hair dryer with an upward angle blew his long hair into a mess. The remaining three musicians were also far apart from him.

No need to guess, the person behind the microphone stand is Bian Lang.

Just this one shot gave Bai Dao a feeling of loneliness and desolation in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of an electric guitar sounded, and a clean intro solo made Bai Dao's pupils dilate instantly. When he wanted to wait to see a close-up of the playing, the camera suddenly switched but the music did not stop again.The tone of the electric guitar changed from the American dry sound to the British crunch sound, and the scene changed from the empty stage to a seemingly small rehearsal room.

The style change from grunge to punk made Bai Dao uncomfortable, but the tall, thin man with a cowboy hat and sunglasses on his face was playing the guitar in the picture, which was still almost black and white, which made Bai Dao feel This design seems to be a little different design inside.

After identifying this person as Tian Yuan, the lead singer and guitarist of Joystick Band, Bai Dao had some guesses about the signature of Huaxia Rock 29, who didn't understand what it meant: "Could it be that there are 29 bands?"

Just when he was about to deny his unrealistic conjecture, the camera switched again, and the timbre of the electric guitar began to become sharp, but not harsh.The picture is still in a small rehearsal room, and the band members are all wearing sunglasses.

"Thrash metal, big wind..." Bai Dao can basically verify his conjecture now, and he is now looking forward to which bands will appear in the future.

Sure enough, when Lao Zhao, who was also wearing sunglasses, appeared in the camera, he was completely captivated by the sound of the bass drum, which was as steady as stepping on a sewing machine.

The 48-second, 24-bar prelude featured a total of 8 bands, and then the camera switched to the Rolling Stones again, and the long-haired Bianlang finally sang:

"When I opened this window that had not been opened for a long time, dust was scattered on the ground left and right. I completely forgot how long I had been standing here, and completely forgot any direction..."

Bian Lang's voice did not contain any trace of emotion, with a dead face without any expression, his heart twisted suddenly when he saw Bai Dao, and an inexplicable palpitation made him a little uncomfortable.

Immediately afterwards, the screen changed again, but instead of the previous joystick band behind the Rolling Stones, it was a thin young man with a mohawk on his head who had never appeared before, still wearing sunglasses, and the wavy However, the screen did not completely disappear, but was shrunk to the upper right corner of the screen in the form of a small frame.

I just heard the Mohican youth sing in a somewhat hoarse voice: "What kind of power can tear down the gray wall, what kind of soil can raise love, this scene before me once appeared in my deep memory, reality and dream, I I don't doubt, reality and dreams, I don't doubt..."

The screen was changed again, and the screen of the young Mohican shrunk to follow Rolling Stone's buttocks, and a tall, burly man with long hair was switched out, roaring out the resentment and anger in his chest full of resentment and anger in a black voice: "Why does the thick ink make the night Blackened, smeared, smeared, around the moonlight..."

The scene changed again, this time the lead singer was a very good-looking girl, but the strong old-school Florida death metal style when she opened her mouth made Bai Dao confused: "Why does the thick ink dye the night black? Apply it arbitrarily , smear it around the moonlight at will... oh... oh... oh..."

Bai Dao couldn't help but whispered: "Zao'er? I'll go, she still remembers that she has a band?"

From the beginning to now, a total of 8 rock bands of different styles including Grunge, psychedelic, British, thrash, punk, hard rock, heavy metal, black metal, and death metal have appeared in the video. This design directly subverts Bai Dao's three styles. view.

Although this kind of arrangement has a great sense of fragmentation in the listening experience, he is shocked by this brand-new creative form from the bottom of his heart!

Moreover, the obviously meaningful lyrics made him feel the true power of rock and roll, irony and unyielding!

I have long received the news that Pan Xiulong is also sitting in front of the computer desk in the study at this moment. The lyrics from the HiFi-level speakers are like a basin of piercing ice water, pouring him completely. As for whether he wakes up or not, he does not know. .

It's just the line in the chorus: "Why does the thick ink dye the night black..." made him empathize: "Will the thick ink of capital leave the last bit of moonlight for the music world? Alas, but the moonlight cannot become a shining light after all. The sun that brightens the dark night..."

Qi Hongtu also received the news that Nanyin and Rolling Stone were going to make a big move. With great curiosity, he also waited in front of the computer until now.But when he heard this, he laughed disapprovingly: "That's the problem with rock players, what's the use of writing a song to sarcasm, you are just shrimp seeds in front of goose eggs!" Thinking about Mo Die Promising the copyright of all the songs, he turned on Weibo in high spirits and directly posted the sentence he just said, and at the same time posted a photo of the cover of the proposed contract.

Ma Yuan, another executive of Goose Dan Music, is different. As the music director of the platform, his views on this song are naturally polarized.From the standpoint of the company, he wished that this Huaxia Rock 29 would be banned from the entire network.When it was released at this time, the irony in the lyrics was really close to replacing the word "thick ink" with goose eggs.

But as a musician, he was amazed by the quality of the song, the artistic conception it conveyed, and the unprecedented presentation form: "Masters of Rhythm, those idiots, really failed to achieve success and failed failure!"

The song continues, and the 30-second interlude reaches the main shot of the guitar solo, bringing out another 10 bands.

When the chorus started again, Magpie, who had previously been a guest guitarist in the Rolling Stones, also switched to the rehearsal room scene, singing with emphasis in his operatic style: "Why does the thick ink dye the night black, smear it arbitrarily, smear it arbitrarily, in the moonlight around……

The camera then cuts to another band: "Why does the thick ink blacken the night, smear at will, smear at will, around the moonlight..."

After repeating the chorus twice, all the bands had finished their appearances, and the Rolling Stones were cut to the main screen again, with the remaining 28 bands defending it in the form of small windows.

At this moment, the originally nearly black-and-white picture began to have a hint of yellow, just like the yellowed old photos.

29 different bands, 109 musicians speak at the same time:

"Why does the thick ink blacken the night, smear it arbitrarily, smear it arbitrarily, around the moonlight..."

"Why does the thick ink dye the night black, smear it freely, smear it freely, around the moonlight... oh... oh... oh oh..."

Then the 1 minute and 48 seconds long outro began, and on the screen at this moment, the small frames of the other 28 bands had disappeared, leaving only the Rolling Stones on the screen.A moment later, under the background of the main shot of Bian Lang, the subtitles began to scroll:
