Rock and Roll: Glorious Years

27. The whole place was buzzing with excitement!

The reactions of others were also interesting. Half of the people who had seen Bian Lang's previous videos thought he would sing "Those Without Ideals Don't Get Hurt" again, since that was the only song they knew Bian Lang had ever released.

Xia Yuxi thought so too. He even thought that Bian Lang might recreate Loop Station on a variety show. But now that Bian Lang is going to sing a new song, he felt that this person was not only annoying and arrogant, but also didn't understand the routines of competitive music variety shows.

In order to quickly gather popularity and gain the most attention, choosing his own famous work for the first performance is a good choice. Bian Lang's foundation in this area is already weak, and he is going to risk releasing a new song, which is simply making things difficult for himself.

From this point on, he looked down on Bian Lang even more.

Regarding the song selection issue, after Bian Lang and the production team finalized their contract, the production team did offer suggestions, but Bian Lang insisted on singing a new song, so they didn't insist any further.

At this point, Bian Lang's performance had already begun. In order to maximize the integrity of the song, Bian Lang did not choose the lead guitar for accompaniment, but instead chose the rhythm guitar that runs throughout the entire song.

The moment this hard rock rhythm of pop metal came out, anyone in the know could tell it was the right vibe, a rhythm and beat that none of today's pop songs disguised as rock could deliver.

After playing eight bars of the intro, Dengbianlang looked up at the audience and began to sing! "Ee...yo...oh...oh...oh oh oh oh..."

Bian Lang directly used the original key of Dou Xian's version, and his opening note was a true G4, which shocked the mentors whose ears were already a bit tired.

Then, it repeatedly skips between the notes A4 and G4, finally ending with F4, leaving the discerning listeners thoroughly entertained.

Upon hearing that voice, Old Zhao said to Huang Kai, "Bian Lang and that guy surnamed Li should have hung out in Shucun before, right? How come I have no recollection of them at all?"

"Brother Xiulong said that when he was a struggling artist in Beijing, he was a mute guitarist and almost never sang. Who would have known that?" Huang Kai had heard Pan Xiulong talk about this before, so it didn't seem unfamiliar to him now.

"You guys at Magic Disc are really something. This guy is probably going to be a lucky break for Tiger now."

Huang Kai nodded, neither confirming nor denying the matter: "Who says otherwise? Let's keep listening. He started with this tone, but whether he can maintain his composure later is another matter."

Xia Yuxi was somewhat taken aback. Both were using high notes to create atmosphere, but Bian Lang opened with his true G4 voice, while Xia Yuxi used a falsetto A4. The audience might not notice much difference in this comparison, and might even think the falsetto was better and more impressive.

However, to a professional's ears, the difference is not insignificant. If the true voice can reach G4, then the effective articulation of the falsetto should not be a problem at A6.

Based on this reasoning, Xia Yuxi's falsetto A5, which is revered by fans as a god, is something that Bian Lang could easily achieve without using falsetto.

After singing those two verses, Bian Lang seamlessly transitioned into the main verse:

"In the sea of ​​people, there is you and me, we meet, get to know each other, and figure each other out... In the sea of ​​people, there is you and me, pretending to be upright with smiles on our faces..."

A steady high-pitched range from E4 to A4 made producer Pan Jianhu's eyes widen: "The frequency of these vocal transitions is quite high! That puts a lot of demands on the vocal cords. If the song continues like this, then this kid is a born lead singer!"

"There's no need to say too much. You know what we really want to do. Don't worry about too much, and don't be sad. One day you'll understand me!"

At this point in the lyrics, Liu Yao suddenly stood up without warning and threw a metal salute at Bian Lang on stage without any hesitation.

The lyrics struck a chord with her. She had thought about lyrics like these for many years, but the ones she wrote were never quite right. Bian Lang's first verse perfectly captured what she was thinking, leaving her deeply moved.

Niu Bo was a little confused and whispered to Long Qianwen beside him, "Teacher Long, what does this mean?"

Long Qianwen, not wanting to cause trouble, replied directly, "Go ask Brother Tiger after you've heard it!"

Without giving the audience a moment's respite, Bian Lang's singing continued:

"In the sea of ​​people, I saw you again, just as charming and beautiful... Slowly relax, slowly let go, still not caring... You don't need to say too much, you know what we really want to do... Don't care about so much, and don't be sad, one day you will leave me..."

The interlude began, giving everyone who had been on edge a brief respite.

After listening to all the verses, Liu Yao was still incredibly excited; in other words, she felt like she had found a kindred spirit. She desperately wanted to grab her guitar and go on stage to rock out with Bian Lang.

Pan Jianhu is no longer bothered by whether Bian Lang will listen to advice or not. He feels Bian Lang is incredibly unethical for starting the show with such a new song: "What are we supposed to do? Are we supposed to fight like this?"

He had watched a lot of Bian Lang's live performance videos before, but because he focused on Loop Station, he didn't pay much attention to Bian Lang's singing skills. Now that he has experienced it in person, he feels that Bian Lang is here to cleanse his ears.

Lin Yaorong had already asked his staff to inquire with the director if he could go up and accompany the drums. Although the request was impolite, his hands were itching to play the drums; he'd rather be cut off than not play. Unfortunately, the sound coming through the headset didn't grant his wish.

And the rock music fans in the audience were completely hyped this time!

The rock musicians who came on stage before just showcased a particular instrument, and the lead singers would simply sing along with the accompaniment. They didn't have the same exhilarating energy that Bianlang's performance created for them.

"Who said Bian Lang would fail? Come out and take your punishment!"

"I...I...I said it! I apologize! I'll apply for a super topic for Bian Dashen as soon as the show airs!"

"Hehe, Bian's high notes are truly impressive, incredibly stable! What was that guy singing in falsetto at the beginning anyway?"

These words immediately angered Xia Yuxi's fans:

"What's wrong with our idol? You rock fans only appreciate this kind of unskilled noise. Besides, you like him so much, you praise him so much, why don't you get him any support supplies?"

This statement really hit a nerve with rock music fans, who were incredibly angry. Why didn't the production team release any information about Bian Lang beforehand? If they had known earlier, they would have definitely arranged slogans and headbands like "Rock and roll never dies" in advance!

Just then, Xiao Fei, who had been mentally preparing herself for a long time, finally reached into her small bag and fumbled to take out the homemade poster she had made for Bian Lang.
