Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 457 Rehearsal Storm
The two hit it off and complimented each other, and then Bian Lang sent Huang Wei a message to talk about the matter, asking her to learn more about Editor Liu.

Then the two talked about the projects behind V Stranger.

Bian Lang originally thought that Lao Mo would talk to him about "Star Wars", but he didn't expect that Lao Mo would talk about something else.

"After painting V, I want to try Chinese style themes!"

"Okay, there are so many mythological themes in China, it's good to pick out any story and process it, but Lao Mo's painting style is a bit..."

Of course Lao Mo knew there was something wrong with this, but he still insisted: "One V is enough to support our family for a long time. Aren't I starting to dream about revitalizing Chinese comics again?"

After saying this, Lao Mo took out one from Yuxi and lit it for Bianlang, and then lit it for himself and said, "Am I a little ignorant of praise? I have just achieved some small results, so I thought About to take off?"

Bian Lang still didn't answer. He took a puff of cigarette and moved the hand holding the cigarette to Lao Mo to signal him to continue.

Lao Mo took a deep breath from the cigarette. Under the smoke, he said a little self-deprecatingly: "I am a person who is rushing to the fourth place. If I don't give it a try, I will get old and lose my enthusiasm! It's like You are like this now, for China Rock..."

Such words are a joke to social animals and capitalists, but Bian Lang believes it. Who makes him a rock man who is always young and always has tears in his eyes!
At this moment, there were only a few lines in his mind that he didn't know the beginning and end of, and he didn't know whose lyrics were lingering: "If we don't go crazy, we will be old. How can we pay homage without memories? What else is immortal? You will never have what I missed." …”

This was indeed an oversight by Bian Lang. He now spends most of his time rehearsing and writing songs at the company, while Dong You prefers to find inspiration at home.

When Bianlang came back, she smiled and asked, "Should we change rooms?"

After Bian Lang said this without thinking, he continued to say to Lao Mo: "When the painting is finished and published, I will compose a song for you."

"Then you are waiting for the rhythm of animation!"

Listening to these two lines of the song, Lao Mo suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Just now he was saying HIgh, but now that Bian Lang had even finished the song for him, he began to back down: " If the painting is not good and the Bianlang song is in vain, then I will be nailed to the pillar of shame and reviled by the fans!"

"Monkey or Nezha, you choose one!"

"If you go and never come back, you will never come back!"

"Then change it and find a community that is less noisy or has good sound insulation."

I had heard from my girlfriend before that she didn't mind living here first, but she changed her mind not long ago. There must be other reasons.

"No, let's just find someone to make a movie!" After saying this, Bian Lang stood up, put out his cigarette butts, and sang with a smile: "I want, what's the use of this iron rod..."

He has read both the movie and the original work more than once. The 15-word "The Legend of Wukong" is at the starting point, which can be done at a rate of 5K per day per month. But this book is a masterpiece that has made countless Westward Journey fan writers sigh and worship it.

Patting Lao Mo on the shoulder, Bian Lang gave a thumbs up and said: "Old Mo, I want to eat fish!"

After eating Lao Mo's fish, Bian Lang returned to the company and started thinking about the plot of "The Legend of Wukong".

It would be impossible to ask Bian Lang to write the original work word for word. It would be possible to make do with an outline. He remembered the movie quite clearly. Combining the two, Bian Lang believed that it would not be a big problem to give Lao Mo a script that could be turned into a comic.

"Monkey!"

Hearing this, Bian Lang probably understood why Dong Youbian proposed to change rooms just now.

"Okay, give me a story in exchange."

However, Dai Quan's "Wukong" came to mind and I quickly wrote it down.

Bian Lang didn't answer immediately. He walked over and sunk himself into the couch. He took the guitar and was about to play it twice, but Dong You pressed him down and said, "What time is it? Aren't you afraid of being complained by the neighbors?"

Back when he was a child, it was almost 12 o'clock, and Dong You, who came back first, was holding his guitar in a daze.

As for finding a house that does not require discussion, Bian Lang thinks that all the decision-making power can be left to Dong Youbian. Whether to rent or buy, whether it is far or near, he only has to pay for it when the time comes.

……

The next day, Bian Lang was invited by You Xuefeng to go to the provincial station for a meeting.

Bian Lang is the most annoying thing about going to a regular workplace for a meeting. For a meeting in his own company, he only has melon seeds, beer, and crayfish. After finishing the meal, things are basically settled. But in a formal unit, there is definitely more nonsense than the main topic!
You Xuefeng also knew his temper, and only let him enter the conference room after getting rid of the leaders above.

"Junior, the main reason I asked you to come here is to seize the time to select the people for the first three phases. Then we will prepare the publicity and start recruiting non-singer performers."

It is said to be the first three issues, but in fact it is mainly the first issue.

After Xie Xinyan joins, he will have to appear in the first episode. According to the 1V100, 1V30 and 1V3 models given by Bian Lang, if you want to maintain the program duration without too many games, you must ensure that every game There are two singers singing.

So it’s a question of who will match up with Xie Xinyan, the king, in this first episode.

With the current reputation of the show, a male singer in the same position may not be willing to come even if he pays someone to do it. After all, the Lanmei International brand is too weak and has little appeal in the industry.

Even with the endorsement of King Crab, Liu Ziyang as the music director, and the support of the Rolling Stones, everyone still has to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

"What does Xie Xinyan mean?" Bian Lang knew what You Xuefeng meant, but he didn't want to continue.

Guo Sichu, a diva, doesn't want to join this kind of music group that enjoys the joy of the people. Even if Bian Lang agrees with her body, it won't change. As for Dong Youbian, Bian Lang felt that it was really inappropriate to appear in this first issue.

This first episode is a time to build an audience base. If you choose a folk singer who is sad about the spring and autumn, it will be easy for people to say thank you and weird things.

"He thought it would be fine to choose a popular female singer. For the next two issues, he used personal connections to get it done. This is the first issue..."

Bian Lang didn't listen to what You Xuefeng said later. He just thought of the popular female singer, and then he thought of "fried chicken girl"!
"Let Chen Xuan do it. She should be considered very popular now, right?"

Bian Lang himself believed in Chen Xuan's current popularity, but he just didn't know if there would be any other evaluation indicators in the provincial and Taiwanese provinces.

Obviously, You Xuefeng and the others had not considered Chen Xuan at all before, but now that Bian Lang brought it up, they fell into thinking.

"The main sponsor of the show hasn't been found yet. If it were Chen Xuan, I would also have sponsored the first episode for the show." Hearing this, You Xuefeng asked one more question: "Don't you want to use your own money?" Are favors used to attract investment for the show? Why now?”

Bian Lang didn't want to use favors to attract investment for the show before. That's because variety shows haven't come out yet. Even if people are willing to sponsor it for the sake of your face, the cost will naturally not be high, and they still owe favors.

If it becomes popular later, it will be impossible to increase the price. So after discussing with You Xuefeng, Bian Lang decided that the first issue would rather be empty than anything else.

"If I choose Chen Xuan in the end, I will give it to my sister's fried chicken restaurant..."

"That's okay! Let's study it..."

While they were researching, Bian Lang sent messages to Chen Shuting and his elder sister to notify them.

In his opinion, this plan is the optimal solution at the moment.

Chen Xuan's famous song "Fried Chicken Girl" premiered in Spring City. Coupled with the Rolling Stones' Yunnan origin, she has the highest proportion of fans in Yunnan Province. If you want to choose 100 people who can sing both Xie Xinyan and Chen Xuange, it is of course the most convenient to find them in Yunnan Province.

"That's it! Then we will start pre-announcement and gathering the audience to participate in the show!" Without letting Bian Lang wait any longer, You Xuefeng made the decision.

"Okay, then I'll ask my sister and Sister Chen to come over and sign the contract as soon as possible!"

Although it is a two-party cooperation, this time it is with the province and Taiwan as the main body, so the formal procedures have to be followed from this side.

"Don't worry about anything else, just sign this one first!"

When You Xuefeng saw that Bian Lang was about to leave, he couldn't help but take out the fourth phase of the contract for him to sign. After Bian Lang signed it in ink, he asked You Xuefeng: "Senior, who have you decided to invite to me?" Did you go together?"

"Why don't you think about it? Of course it's Yubeian!"

After hearing this, Bian Lang finally understood why he had to be brought here today.

If it were Rolling Stone, Chen Shuting would definitely ask this question before signing the contract. So no matter what, you have to let Chen Manman check the schedule first, and all kinds of things will come up.

Now that Bian Lang has signed it himself, it is Bian Lang's own business to deal with Dong Youbian. As for Bian Lang, he will find someone else to ride with him? This possibility is almost non-existent!
Resisting the urge to tear up the contract, Bian Lang said fiercely to You Xuefeng: "Senior, if you play like that again in the future, then everything can only be discussed in the company!"

"Junior, please understand me. It's just this once, it won't be the same next time!"

When he was about to leave, Bian Lang suddenly remembered something, and then asked You Xuefeng: "Senior, what is the process for selecting programs to be sent to CCTV?"

You Xuefeng thought it was Bian Lang who had an idea, and then said with a slight embarrassment: "Junior, it's not that I didn't think about you, it's mainly that the nature of the program selected this year is too special. You understand this kind of thing. Wait for the quota next year As soon as I get here, I’ll discuss it with you right away!”

But who would have thought that Bian Lang smiled "hehe" and left without saying anything salty: "It's okay, senior, don't take it to heart, the Guangdong Province has already reported it to me!"

You Xuefeng: "..."

……

Since receiving Bian Lang's revised version of the arrangement, Guangdong TV Station and Xinghai have been working on it with 120% energy.

At first, Dong Shuxian thought that just one Li Linqing would be enough, and the workload would not be too big. But who knew that what Bian Lang gave him was a symphony score!
Although it is not a score that the orchestra can use directly, for Dong Shuxian, a violinist with a deep love for classical music, this excitement is enough.

Since the program was selected in the name of Guangdong Province, it was naturally impossible to summon orchestras from other places to help arrange it. On the same day, he brought together several teachers from the Xinghai Orchestra Department to set performance scores for various instruments.

At the school's Mid-Autumn Festival party before, Li Linqing sang a revised version of "Good Luck Comes", but at that time she asked the school's pick-up students to put together a band to perform temporarily. The arrangement was also simple, just according to the original version. The melody line of the rock version of "Good Luck" changes Du's heavy metal tones and rhythms to a popular melody.

Now that she saw the symphony score written by Bian Lang himself, it was impossible for her not to be excited.

After all, the two accompaniments have different gold content, plus Bian Lang specified that a chorus should be added, this is a song that is heading for a big production!

If she is really selected for the Spring Festival Gala, whether it is the province, the school or herself, it will be something worth bragging about for a lifetime.

If they follow the development of coloratura singers in the past, if they want to appear on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, they would normally have to at least have a certain professional title in school and a certain right to speak in the circle. It's totally not what she can think of when she's in her early thirties.

But now CCTV directly asked Guangdong Province to choose and send this song, and Bian Lang personally asked her to sing, which is equivalent to bringing this originally epic achievement to our eyes.

Compared to this, the school's discussion about letting her go on a teaching trip to Yunnan Province was nothing. If she was asked to transfer there directly, he would agree without hesitation.

There is no doubt about the level of Xinghai. The school symphony orchestra led by several professors took Chengping out in three days.

Although Bian Lang said they could do whatever they wanted, Comrade Dong still sent him a finished product for the Spring Festival Gala directing team.

After listening to it with headphones, Bian Lang remembered the peak of the original China where this song was sung, that was Zu Hai...

Recalling Li Linqing's performance at the Xinghai Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and comparing it with the current version, it is probably the difference between daily practice and formal performance on stage.

For this kind of song that can be played at a party, it is completely different from rock music that values ​​the scene. It not only needs to be full of emotion but also needs to be stable!

In Bian Lang's view, as long as this kind of song is released once, it is equivalent to getting a lifetime ticket to the Spring Festival Gala.

Just like the song "Unforgettable Tonight", what is so good about teacher Li Guyi's singing? The best music critics probably also praised Xia Ji Baden. But if you want someone else to sing it, no matter how the song turns out, you will definitely be criticized!

Thinking of this, Bian Lang was already thinking about the time to take out "Unforgettable Tonight".

"Well, let's keep it secret for now and let "Good Luck Come" prosper for five, six, seven, eight years, and then come out and slap me in the face when someone badmouths me!"

On the day of the third rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Reuters photos of Guan Ying entering and leaving the rehearsal venue were taken and leaked online.

Naturally, the media compared the previous incidents between Guan Ying and Bian Lang. The general idea was that Bian Lang, who could not attend the Spring Festival Gala, was not qualified to be compared with Guan Ying.

At this time, in the rehearsal hall, the musician named Mao was sitting in the audience, with his legs crossed, waiting to see the jokes in the Cantonese version of "Good Luck Comes".
