Rock and Roll: Glorious Years

The elegant hostess, dressed in a champagne-colored long dress, opened the door and was initially puzzled to see two unfamiliar Chinese faces. However, after learning Wang Wenhui's purpose, she happily welcomed the couple inside.

When Olaf returned around 8 p.m., he was immediately shocked by the scene inside his restaurant.

My wife, who is usually dignified and elegant, now has a slightly flushed, cherry-red face and is spouting all sorts of praises as if they were free.

The expensive Mason Blue Onion series tableware set on the dining table, which he had hardly ever used since buying it, was filled with all sorts of foods he had never seen before.

Although unfamiliar, the aroma, infused with various unique Chinese spices, made Olaf, who had only eaten two sausages at the party that night, swallow hard.

The blues music that used to be played at home during meals was replaced by Chinese music he had never heard before…

Olaf's wife stood up, hooked her arm around his, and pulled him to the table to sit down. She said excitedly, "You have such a good Chinese friend who cooks so well, why didn't you introduce him to me sooner? You absolutely have to try this Baojiang Tofu..."

Olaf looked up at Wang Wenhui and his wife sitting opposite him, smiled and shook his head, following his wife's advice. After trying a bite, the molten cheese-like texture, paired with the unique yellow chili dipping sauce from Yunnan Province, gave him a culinary experience that he couldn't resist.

Seeing his wife's enthusiastic expression, Olaf didn't expose Wang Wenhui's little trick to his face. After sharing a glass of red wine with the three of them, he got up and invited Wang Wenhui to the study to chat: "Mr. Wang, thank you and your wife for the gift you prepared for Hannah. I think our two families can be good friends in private in the future, but I will not agree to your request regarding work matters."

Seeing that his tone was no longer as aggressive as it had been during the day, Wang Wenhui quickly revealed his true purpose: "Mr. Olaf, I respect your professionalism and musical taste, but I have come here today not for those kids. I would like to ask you to help me appreciate a Chinese rock song and record a video for me."

Hearing this, Olaf, realizing his earlier remarks might have been somewhat inappropriate, replied somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, perhaps what I said earlier was a bit too subjective. Was it that song, 'Those Without Ideals Don't Get Hurt'? Well, I can tell you definitively that I really like its melody and lyrics..."

After Olaf finished rattling off a long list of things, Wang Wenhui replied, "It's not that song. It's a rock song called 'Schwärze die Nacht,' which was just released in China."

Upon hearing that it was a new song, Olaf's eyes lit up with anticipation: "Mr. Wang, you should know that the fee for me to record an appreciation video is very expensive! I want to give Hannah the opportunity to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine once a month."

Seeing that he had relented, Wang Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily, "No problem!"

After the two men finished talking and reached a consensus, they stood up and shook hands. Olaf went to the refrigerator, took two bottles of Radeberger beer, and then took Wang Wenhui to his home workshop.

Following Wang Wenhui's instructions, he bypassed the Great Firewall on his computer and accessed Huaxia's network. On the homepage of Yuncun Music, he found the promotional cover of "Dye the Night Black" in a very prominent position. After clicking on it, the sharp-eyed Wang Wenhui noticed the number of downloads for the song and couldn't help but gasp.

When he checked before he came, it had over 19 views, but now, just a few hours later, it has surged to 25. At this rate, it's estimated that it has probably already reached 40 views across the entire internet...

After Olaf clicked in, he handed Wang Wenhui a pair of headphones, put on a pair himself, and then clicked to buy and play: "Mr. Wang, I hope this song will be as enjoyable as tonight's feast."

"Mr. Olaf, I'm sure it won't disappoint you."

Five minutes later, Olaf took off his headphones and said angrily, "King, I'm very grateful that you recommended this 'bullshit' song to me!"

Upon hearing the word "dog shit," Wang Wenhui's heart leaped into his throat: "Could it be...?"

Before he could even speak, Olaf continued aggressively, "Although I don't know the meaning of the lyrics yet, I think the composition and arrangement, the musicians' performance, and the production style of this video are comparable to many big-name European rock bands. It's just that the recording and mixing quality is worse than 'dog shit'!"

Upon hearing this twist, Wang Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out his phone, handed Olaf the lyrics that his wife had helped translate into German, and carefully explained the background of the song's creation to Olaf.

"I see. Then I apologize for what I said earlier. They are truly a group of musicians who deserve respect." He glanced at the songwriter's name, which was still "Hua Le," and added, "Hua Le's work is absolutely to my liking. His music is entirely about fighting against the world. I definitely want to meet this musician if I have the chance!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenhui added, "Mr. Olaf, Hua Le is Wave, the lead singer of The Rolling Stones!"

"Oh really? That's quite an enviable guy! King, you can call me Olaf from now on. I think we're friends now. I'm really grateful that you let me hear this song right away."

The opening of The Rolling Stones' grunge style, mixed with a touch of psychedelic, is very creative. As for the video format, bringing together so many different rock bands performing together is itself a rare and imaginative feat!

"My lord, what a wonderful night! Come, let us begin our work."

Olaf started listening to the song over and over again, pausing occasionally to jot things down in his notebook. By the time everything was ready, half an hour had passed.

Half an hour later, Olaf posted the video on his YouTube account.

As a recognized top music producer in Europe, in addition to his own professional work, he often produces various music appreciation videos on YouTube. With his professional and objective analysis and his style of never saying anything against his conscience, he has millions of followers on YouTube.

In this video, in addition to analyzing the music itself, he also made a very subtle satire of Goose Egg Music's ban on a number of rock bands.

The video garnered countless comments from fans in less than 10 minutes after it was uploaded.

"Wow!!!!! Is this Chinese rock music? I can't believe it!"

"It's Chinese music again, and The Rolling Stones... What kind of monsters are these unfamiliar bands? How did they suddenly appear!"

"Olav, what are you implying? Is Hoffman going to import songs from these bands?"

Upon seeing this, Olaf seemed to snap out of a daze and looked at Wang Wenhui: "Wang, you didn't actually acquire the copyright agency for this song, did you?"

Wang Wenhui smiled with a hint of pride, but he still answered honestly, "Not yet, but with your video help, I believe I can succeed!"

Olaf was taken aback, surprised by Wang Wenhui's candor: "Then I wish you success, hahaha, I'm really curious to see what price Walker will offer for this song."
