Rock and Roll: Glorious Years

Half an hour later, a total of 29 bands, including Li Hao's joystick band, received the lyrics and music sent by Bian Lang.

After reading the lyrics in one go, Lao Zhao gasped several times. The guitarist almost rummaged through his bag for his medicine, but thankfully he quickly blurted out, "Now, everyone in the lyric writing industry has to call Bian Lang 'master,' whether it's speed or quality. The ability to make Goose Egg (a nickname for a male singer) feel utterly defeated by that one 'dirty' word—I, Lao Zhao, am impressed!"

The guitarist grabbed the sheet music and glanced at it: "Wow! The outro is almost two minutes long... Lao Zhao, what should we do? Should we arrange it ourselves or wait for the arranger?" Just as he finished speaking, the full score from the band on Bianlang's side was transmitted over.

At the Nanyin headquarters, all 13 bands, including Rolling Stones, were present. Since Bianlang wanted to go big, all the members of Nanyin, who had been collectively banned by the Goose Egg platform, naturally had to play along to the end.

It's worth mentioning that not a single person complained about this undeserved disaster from beginning to end; everyone felt that the current situation was the only natural course of things!

This is what rock musicians should look like and have the attitude towards!

Huang Kai got excited as soon as he saw the intro and outro of the sheet music. After trying it a few times and feeling unsure, Xique returned the Zhuyin guitar tab to Bian Lang.

Looking at the drum score, Da Yong couldn't help but mutter, "Bian Lang, are you doing this on purpose? This bass drum is so fast, it's like stepping on a sewing machine!"

Ignoring the banter among his band members, Bian Lang addressed all the musicians present: "I'll go through it first, and then you can play however you like, as long as it stays within this framework. You can use whatever sounds you like on the instruments, but there's only one requirement: the drums cannot be changed!"

After everyone agreed, Bian Lang continued, "I started this whole thing, but I don't regret it. Thank you all for playing along. Anyone here who wants to sing this song in the future can just let the company know. As long as it's not for TV shows or selling OSTs, you can use it for free to perform or record!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Dafeng immediately followed up with, "That's generous! Let's get started quickly, finish rehearsing sooner so we can record..."

Pan Jianhu was itching to try it out, seeing the song and the hype. But he couldn't; he had to discuss the song's release with the other two major music platforms.

The hired photography team is already in place, and they're just waiting for the band to finish their rehearsals so they can get started.

At this moment, the most excited person on the scene was Yang Meng. Her mind was now filled with musical scores composed of various flying notes.

She even called her own father over today, wanting him, a long-time rock music fan, to witness this moment. She felt that this might leave a significant mark on the history of Chinese rock music.

After receiving Pan Jianhu's call, both Yuncun and Xiazi platforms expressed their willingness to cooperate. After all, since Edan had banned this wave of rock bands, the fan base of these bands on Edan became the target of the two platforms. As for how many they could ultimately gain, that would depend on their own abilities.

Yuncun was very efficient; after Pan Jianhu explained the situation, they immediately promised 12 hours of homepage promotion. Xiazi was equally generous, maximizing both pop-up ads and homepage scrolling resources.

As for Bilibili, after Chen Shuting contacted Chen Bing, they immediately had customer service contact a group of music content creators to be on standby, and a scrolling recommendation spot on the homepage had already been reserved for them.

The reason for such a pleasant experience is that there have been so many rhythm game players who have bypassed the Great Firewall to challenge Crazy Scale in the past two days. After various videos of them getting beaten were sent back, the rhythm game channel, which previously had little popularity, was suddenly boosted.

After receiving Chen Shuting's call, the little witch immediately bought the next available plane ticket and rushed to Kunming.

Zhou Ketong was in the Nanyin Planning Department office, working with several senior colleagues on press releases.

They need to ensure that the press releases to various media outlets are sent out before the video is released.

At that moment, Liu Chenglong, the director of the copyright department at Goose Egg Music's headquarters, had just finished a phone call with Magic Disc. No one in the entire company, let alone their copyright department, could have predicted that things would escalate to this point.

In the past, after the company quietly removed the song, the other party would start fawning over them. But with Rock Records, they just made a phone call to ask for a reason, and then there was no further action.

Then they started fighting online, repeatedly challenging the company's bottom line! Naturally, the company couldn't tolerate this!

However, as the director of the copyright department, he saw the potential for rock music to grow in the near future, and that it was very likely to revive many old rock songs. Goose Egg was already weak in this area of ​​copyright, so he took this opportunity to directly approach Magic Disc.

But after that phone call, Magic Disc didn't give any clear answer, which puzzled him: "Is the saying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' no longer valid?"

Immediately after the incident broke out, Magic Disc's CEO, Zhu Wen, issued a gag order to all 46 of its bands, strictly prohibiting anyone from getting involved in the matter.

Pan Xiulong wanted to say something, but thinking that Zhu Wen was the one who made the right judgments at every important juncture that brought the company to where it is today, he held back.

He hasn't gone out to investigate these past few days, staying home like a coward, refusing to comment on any calls from people in the industry asking about the matter. After receiving a call from the copyright department today, he talked to Zhu Wen for a long time, but ultimately failed to persuade his old partner of many years.

FM95.4 also received an invitation from Nanyin, but after discussion among department leaders, they ultimately decided not to get involved.

Hong Ke and Zhu Yan were angry, but the pressure from above left them with no choice. After discussing it, they decided to take leave and go to Nanyin. Even if they couldn't broadcast the event on the radio, as veterans in the music industry, they didn't want to miss this moment that could become a classic.

On the way there, Zhu Yan stopped by the store to pick up the phone he used to contact foreign purchasing agents. That's when he saw the message Wang Wenhui had sent him. He knew Wang Wenhui's background and was originally thinking of refusing him directly, but considering Rolling Stone's current situation, he checked the time and said, "If you're not asleep, come back and wait. There's going to be a big move in the domestic rock scene today."

Bian Lang and his team's rehearsals went relatively smoothly. Bian Lang naturally had no problem with the performance, since the outro of this song was quite popular in the original Earth rock scene, and the lead guitarist would often use it to practice.

But whenever he started singing, the original singer's distinctive scallion flavor would always linger in his mind. After all, they were buddies who had slept on the stairs together in a past life, and that kind of deeply ingrained memory was hard to erase.

He tried it four or five times on his own before he finally reached the standard that he felt was OK.

At this moment, a woman of similar age to Pan Jianhu appeared beside the small stage of Nanyin, dragging a huge suitcase.

"Luckily I made it in time. If I had missed this, Tiger, do you believe I wouldn't divorce you?!" This shout instantly added an aura of 1.9 meters to her already 1.7-meter height!

Completely unaware of the situation, Bian Lang looked at Xi Que with a puzzled expression. Xi Que leaned over and said to him, "Tiger's wife! Photographer, Tiger's wife produced the Chronicle of Chinese Rock."

Searching through the original owner's memories, I learned that Tiger's wife's name was Du Juan, and her relationship with Pan Jianhu and his group of Chinese rock musicians was a complicated and tangled affair.

At this point, more than six hours had passed since he distributed the sheet music.

Li Hao's joystick band was the first to finish. Looking at the video they sent over, Bian Lang felt that he had taken this step completely!
