Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Ai Hao had already bought a house for Bian Lang in the same community, the smallest apartment in the community, 160 square meters. On the same floor of the building opposite, if the two brothers wanted to have a drink at night and didn't want to go up and down the stairs, they could just raise their glasses on the balcony.

Bian Lang simply moved his own things here. He left the original owner's things unchanged, just like the things Dong You left behind. After turning the anti-theft door lock to the right twice, all of them were sealed inside the old and dilapidated house.

After returning from the Music Industry Park, Bian Lang held his Ovation and played aimlessly. As he played, he began to sing: "The motorcycle of happiness rushes forward, and my tears are in the wind..." When he listened to this song before, Bian Lang thought that the commander was really hypocritical when he was young, but now that he has encountered problems...

Then, while playing the guitar, he fell asleep on the balcony.

It was almost 12 o'clock before he was awakened by Ai Hao, who was watching from the opposite building.

Being woken up at this time, it would be hard to fall asleep again. The two of them opened a glass of wine and talked about the brewery...

At this time in the hotel, Silva and Elf were chatting about what they had seen and heard today, and the focus of the topic was naturally Bian Lang.

Although Elf had learned a lot about Bian Lang before, it was still not comprehensive enough. Today, he followed him to the recording studio, visited the school, and finally went to the "Summer of the Band" recording venue. Elf's evaluation of Bian Lang has reached the level of a monster.

"Silva, how do you think Bian Lang can do all these things while composing music?"

"Maybe these things are the source of his inspiration! By the way, I want to release this song as a single in Europe. Can you help me with the specific process?"

This was not unexpected to Elf at all. The demo he heard Silva sing in Europe and the song he sang in the studio this time were completely different. Of course, it was one thing to have the accompaniment, and Bian Lang's suggestions on some small details of Silva were also very important.

"No problem, but do we need to go back and re-record it?"

If it was in the past, there is no need to ask this question, we would definitely have to go back to Europe to re-record. But now the Rolling Stones have sufficient hardware and software, if there is a difference, it may be that we can use more famous producers in Europe after returning to Europe.

"No need, I'll just ask Olaf to record a separate version for me. By the way, this variety show of theirs should be very exciting, right?"

Even the well-informed Elf couldn't answer this question. In his opinion, getting a bunch of rock bands to compete on a variety show was just like getting them drunk and having a fight.

So he was also quite curious: "I don't know, but I think it will definitely not be too mediocre..."

Speaking of this flying super fan, the original plan was for Feimos, but they are from the same company, and their tour is being planned, so he is not in a hurry to go back for the time being, so he gave this position to Silva.

In Fimos’ own words: “I prefer to watch performances in crowded places!”

Speaking of which, the first stop of Hatter's tour has been decided, and it is in Shanghai. As their first concert in China, the Rolling Stones will of course be the guests.

As for the warm-up band, Hatter did not choose Coldplay, but invited Exodus, who had already joined the Rolling Stones. When Lu Zao received this job, he immediately suspected that he was hallucinating.

Even after Chen Shuting confirmed it with her again and again, she was still twisting the Prajna on her forearm with her fingernails.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of recording. This time the band was missing half of its members but the recording time was extended.

In order to ensure relative fairness, the format of the next game was not announced on site after the last recording.

Therefore, after the 16 bands gathered together, the first thing they did was to record in the studio without an audience. The content was of course the competition system and the draw.

Everyone was notified of the adaptation competition in advance, and everyone was mentally prepared, but even Bian Lang had no idea how to play it specifically.

After all, there are still many screenwriters and planners of "The One and Only Band" in the program team. They still remember the incident last year when Bian Lang directly changed the song and withdrew from the competition. And they believe that if such a situation happens again, Bian Lang will definitely change the song with the band.

Therefore, they really kept the format and song selection of this competition absolutely confidential. It wasn't because they were afraid that other bands would know about it and prepare in advance, but they were afraid that Bian Lang would know about it in advance and yell at them to make changes.

After the 16 bands listened to Niu Boyi's introduction, Li Hao, who was sitting next to Hedgehog, asked: "Bian Lang, why are these people so mean! First draw lots to determine the two-on-two duels, and then decide how to change it. If it's our two teams that are drawn to duel, then what? Change a song at the same time?"

"How would I know? Those people in the planning team are more cautious about me than Zhuo Wei..."

"Who is Zhuo Wei?"

Bian Lang, knowing that he had let the cat out of the bag, pointed to the entrance of the shed and said, "The greyhound guarding here."

"Hey, you Rolling Stones are so fashionable that you even name your guard dogs with their full names!"

As the last one to come in during the breakout round, Hedgehog basically has no human rights. He doesn't even have the right to hit his opponent, so he can only watch.

When the joystick was called, the quiet Tian Yuan kicked Li Hao and let him go up. Because the previous people had not drawn the hedgehog, he was thinking on the way to the stage, what if this one drew it?

Although I'm not scared, I still feel a little...

Niu Boyi certainly understood the effect of the show. Seeing Li Hao coming on stage with something on his mind, he asked bluntly, "Li Hao, do you have an ideal opponent?"

Who is Li Hao? He is the kind of person who dares to say anything when he is drunk! Although he did not drink today, he still boasted a lot: "If I can choose, of course I will choose the strongest one."

Although he didn't say who it was, he had already focused his attention on the hedgehog.

Bian Lang ignored him and started a bet with Tian Yuan: "I said it's Exodus!"

"That's impossible. Bian Lang, was your math taught by a physical education teacher? We can't meet Exodus in the first half. I hope it's not Washe!"

Facts have proved that Tian Yuan, who never brags, is absolutely right.

Li Hao held a sign with the name "Washe" in his hand, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. According to the voting scores in the first episode, Washe should be the last, that is, the weakest band voted by the audience.

According to what Tian Yuan and the others had discussed before the game, it would be best to find a band that also plays punk, so that fans can make a more intuitive comparison. Who knew that they would draw this one.

Faced with this result, Tian Yuan covered his face and said, "Well, you guys just sit here, we'll go over and join the brothers in Washe."

Bian Lang patted Tian Yuan's hand and said, "Come on!"

Of course, the result of the draw did not show the exciting internal communication drama of letting the hedgehog play against New Pants in the second round. Of course, no one expected that the one who drew the hedgehog would be Coldplay!

Actually, it wasn't a draw. In the end, they were the only two teams left, so they automatically became opponents.

Seeing that all the bands had been paired up successfully, Niu Boyi began to announce the rules of the next adaptation competition: "Okay, since everyone is now sitting together with their opponents, then I will talk about the rules of this adaptation competition..."

"In this adaptation competition, in order to let the live fans feel the difference in the adaptation more intuitively, each team will pick a song from their own band and give it to the opponent to adapt!"

"what?"

"What is this? A plot to sow discord?"

Niu Boyi ignored the musicians' surprise and discussion and continued, "Also, you have the right to vote this time! Each of your votes is worth 20, and you can only vote for you and your opponent. Of course, if you really can't stand the adapted song, you don't have to vote!"

"Haha, is this a competition of music? This is totally forcing people to be worldly-wise!"

“Do you want to play it that big?”

"That's interesting! I think it's good!"

Of course, Bian Lang did not comment on the discussion among the crowd, but he knew very well why the program crew did that.

He is simply afraid that he will withdraw from the competition, or that a bunch of rock fans who share the same idea as him will follow suit.

But from the perspective of the program's purpose, this approach actually has both pros and cons.

The good thing is that the audience and music fans can see and hear more rock songs, and there are plenty of highlights.

For example, if a band that plays heavy metal draws a reggaeton band, it would be really hard to figure out how to change the song.

The bad thing is that many rock songs are not widely sung, and they cannot show that more styles of songs can be made into something different in the hands of rock artists, allowing everyone to better understand the musical concepts of rock artists.

Just like the subversive scene in the original Earth's "Summer of the Band" where the Big Wave Band adapted "Love Business", we can no longer see it.

But since things have come to this, Bian Lang won’t say anything. Just follow the rules.

While the musicians were still discussing, Niu Boyi continued, "Okay, now we'll give you half an hour to discuss what questions you want to give your opponents..."

After that, everyone got up and prepared to go back to their own lounge to discuss.

At this point, everyone's thoughts began to become complicated. For most bands, this choice is not difficult. As long as you choose a famous song of the band, it will be a bit difficult for the other side.

But this time these bands are able to come here, and many of them don’t care so much about the ranking, they just want to show more of their own music.

The first reason is that they don’t have much reference, and they don’t know what kind of impact the show will have on their band after it is broadcast; secondly, with Bian Lang in it, they have an idea of ​​who will win the championship!

It's not that they were worried about the inside story of the show. After all, in the first show, fans voted for the play-offs just to hear two more songs. If this was the inside story, they would be willing to admit it!

But the main reason is the gap in strength in all aspects. With a boss of statement level like Bian Lang following, what competition system can't the Rolling Stones win?

As for Hedgehog, Bian Lang simply said: "You guys can discuss it. Hedgehog only has a few songs anyway."

As soon as he said this, Huang Kai came up and said, "No, I think you should make the decision on this matter. You wrote all the songs. Which song do you want to hear a different version of?"

After hearing that, Bian Lang started to think about it.

When they were on the original Earth, there were many covers of Hedgehog's songs, and the most popular one was "Train". I don't think I've heard many covers or adaptations of other songs. Coldplay played pop rock, and he really wanted to hear how they did teenage punk.

"Then let's discuss and choose another song besides 'Train'..."

Looking at Coldplay, after Chris and his teammates returned to the lounge, he was silent for a while, and then he took the initiative to speak: "Guys, what do you think?"

He is really confused now. If they draw another band, they won't be bothered and will just play their own original famous songs.

But when it came to Hedgehog, they had concerns. It wasn't because of face, because Bian Lang had done them a favor, they couldn't bring themselves to do it, but mainly because he was worried that if Bian Lang changed the song, it was hard to say whether their own version would be...

Those who can play in a band together usually have similar thoughts in their minds, so after Chris asked this question, the drummer said directly: "Then choose a less famous song from the album?"

"What if Bian Lang changes it into a really cool version? What should we do when we perform in China?"

For a rock band, singing someone else's song is fine, but if they have to sing a new version that someone else has completely changed for them, they might as well die! The key is that they can foresee that if Bian Lang changes the song, the style may be completely different from the original song!

Chris pinched his brows and said nothing. He felt that if it didn't work, he could just follow the Chinese way and draw lots, which would be simpler.

At this moment, the bassist suddenly said: "Yellow" should also be considered as our band's song, let him revise the song he wrote..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the eyes of several other teammates lit up: "Yeah, why didn't we think of this?"

Chris, who already had a smile on his face, immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go ask the production team!"

When Coldplay's PD heard this idea, he was shocked!

First, he didn't expect that foreigners could come up with such a trick, and second, he also wanted to hear what it would be like for Bian Lang to modify his own song...

Without giving it much thought, the PD said to Chris, "Leave this to me. You guys should get familiar with Hedgehog's songs first. They don't have many songs, so you can actually start preparing now!"

"Okay! Thank you for your advice. I'll go back and wait for your news!"

The reason why the PD agreed directly was that he had already thought that the program crew would not have any reason to refuse. After all, who doesn't want to see such a scene?

After hearing this idea, Qin Ge waved his hand and said, "Okay! Let's do it!"
