Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 689 May's Ranking
At the end of May, the competition for the top spot on the new song chart was between the two songs "When I Wake Up" and "Viva".

Although from the surface, this most conspicuous information seems to indicate that Bian Lang is no longer the leader, but in fact, the big hand behind the scenes is still Bian Lang and Rolling Stone.

Although the fans of the two groups are not as fanatical as those idols' crazy fans, Tao Xiaoyu hasn't been in the top five of the new song chart for nearly 10 years, and Crab King hasn't released a new song for almost 5 years, so the enthusiasm of the die-hard fans is unprecedented.

Crab fans all claim to be the king of fans, and their influence and scale are not comparable to those of Tao Xiaoyu's fans.

However, the audience of "When Awakens from a Dream" is wider than that of "Viva", and the age group covered is also larger. After adding the scale of passers-by fans, it is on par with Xie Xinyan.

As for the media, most of them have prepared two manuscripts with different contents, waiting to be released as soon as the results come out.

The most uncomfortable thing is the Goose Egg Music Platform.

Liu Chenglong has been in Spring City for more than a week, but there is still little substantive progress in the business negotiations. This is the longest business trip he has ever taken in China for a single case.

Liu Chenglong and Ma Yuan looked at the result in the hotel and sighed, "Well, we have been running for another month. If we still can't reach an agreement, what will we do next month?"

The Rolling Stones Music Festival was so popular this month, but the Rolling Stones and several other popular bands had not uploaded any new songs for the festival, so he felt that he had a chance to compete.

But these two songs that came out of nowhere made the entire platform feel despair.

Thinking about the plan for the album "Songs from the Past", he felt that if he didn't hurry up, the next six months...

And once the results of the Golden Melody Awards next month come out, the popularity of the Rolling Stones will definitely surge again. If they were still the Rolling Stones of the past, they wouldn't be too worried.

But now they have Liang Kuan, a quasi-godmother-level agent in the entertainment industry. Once Rolling Stone and Bian Lang win awards, it will definitely be a huge publicity outside the circle.

Why do I say that? Actually, in the original Earth, many rock bands and rock singers have won the Golden Melody Awards, but very few of them have become famous because of the awards. Some even broke up their bands because of their nonsense after winning the awards.

The man's name was Tian Peng, and their group back then was called Long Kuan 9th Dan.

Tian Peng's own band, Supermarket, is the first electronic band in China and has been playing since the 1990s.

If it weren't for Liang Kuan and Edan, there would still be room for fantasy, but due to reasons like Chen Shuting's lack of resources, Bian Lang's laziness, Pan Jianhu's unprofessionalism, etc., the value of the Golden Melody Awards at the market level has not been released to the maximum extent.

Thinking of this, Liu Chenglong hesitated: "Old Ma, what should we do? Should we really agree to their 20%-80% profit split?"

"We all know the bottom line of the higher-ups, but we should still fight for what we should fight for. There's still half a month left. I think we can settle the deal within this half a month!" At this point, Ma Yuan was not so anxious.

It's nothing more than a price, 80% of the total profit, and it's impossible to increase it any further. If some news gets out, the other two companies will also make some moves. They may not come together to negotiate with the Rolling Stones, but at least they can get some help.

At this time, the two protagonists competing for the list were sitting together in the Rolling Stone LAB which had not yet officially opened. The celebratory champagne and cake were ready, and they were just waiting for the final result.

Anyway, it’s either Xie Xinyan’s return as the king, or Tao Xiaoyu’s charge towards the queen of singing. No matter who wins, it will be a good start for the Rolling Stones and the album "Songs of the Past"!

Of course it was Liang Kuan who came up with such a ceremonial thing, and Bian Lang was of course also pulled in.

There were still more than 10 minutes left, and Xie Xinyan's download volume was currently leading by less than . Chu Xiwen kept scrolling through the list and said to Liang Kuan beside him, "How about we make a bet?"

Who would have thought that the usually generous Liang Kuan would shake his head and say, "Xin Yan took the top spot, you guys want to sing a song, what are your bets?"

Chu Xiwen knew that Liang Kuan was not so easy to deal with, so after thinking for a while, he said, "Whether we win or lose, we at Yinghu Entertainment will help you hold on to the contract with Edan!"

Liang Kuan nodded with interest and continued, "Thank you, this is enough, but the time for fulfillment may be..."

"Just follow Teacher Bian's wishes!"

"it is good!"

The reason why Liang Kuan was so straightforward this time and didn't mention waiting for Bian Lang to decide was because after recording "Viva", he asked Bian Lang if he could still write songs like this. Bian Lang replied: "I can write a few songs." Then Liang Kuan replied: "Then I will definitely sell it for a good price."

Therefore, she didn't feel any pressure even if she lost the bet.

After confirming the bet, Chu Xiwen stood up and walked towards Bian, Xie, and Tao, who were chatting about something. When she told them about the bet in front of them, Bian Lang smiled and said, "Then I'll be the one to bet with you. Starting with you, in the next few months, as long as the song from this album gets number one on the charts that month, I'll be the one to bet with you!"

Tao Xiaoyu smiled and shook her head, but Xie Xinyan found the bug in this sentence: "What if you have to go there yourself?"

Bian Lang waved his hand and said, “Before “Universal Youth Hostel” came out, I didn’t release any songs myself!”

Xie Xinyan then nodded and said, "That's pretty good!"

At this time, Liu Chuang, who had already completed recording his own version, got the news from somewhere and joined in.

"Come on, let me feel the atmosphere in advance!"

Hearing his confident words, Tao Xiaoyu smiled and joked: "Old Liu, don't let Silva throw you too far away and then be embarrassed to show up!"

After Bian Lang changed the arrangement, demonstrated it himself, and gave him guidance many times, the final recording was so good that Silva would sincerely say, "Wow!" So when faced with Tao Xiaoyu's joke, he replied arrogantly, "Then you wait and see, what's going on now?"

After saying that, he opened a bottle of Xibiqi and went to look at the results on the tablet on Bian Lang's side.

On the contrary, Tao Xiaoyu and Xie Xinyan were a little afraid to watch. Xie Xinyan had won this honor more than once, but that was more than ten years ago. The gold content of the charts at that time was not comparable to that of today, but he had heard from many friends who have been releasing songs since then that although the gold content has become lower now, it is more difficult to compete for the charts.

Of course, that was because of the idol fans. As for Tao Xiaoyu, she only made it into the top three once in many years, so her desire for this ranking is quite strong. Although she knows that in the future of Rolling Stone, Bian Lang will definitely give her works, but the opportunity to join the album produced by Bian Lang is probably the only one in her life.

If she is given the honor of topping the new song chart at this point in time, there will be more to talk about in the future.

Bian Lang was not in a hurry. He just handed the tablet to Liu Chuang and went to get the Rolling Stone Craft Beer himself.

By the time I got back with a beer, the results were already out.

He didn't need anyone to tell him, just by looking at Tao Xiaoyu's excited expression, which made her look like she was crying, he knew who was at the top of the list!

"Hurry up, we're waiting for you to take pictures!" Liang Kuan urged, and Bian Lang quickly put the pot on the table and ran over to the few people.

In the photo with a cake with the word "Champion" in the foreground, Tao Xiaoyu is wearing a crown and a ribbon, which is full of ceremonial sense. The three men around her, Xie Xinyan, Bian Lang and Liu Chuang, are all important figures in the Chinese music scene.

The moment this photo appeared on the social media platform, all the female singers who had rejected Liang Kuan due to hesitation and wait-and-see attitude regretted their decision.

If it wasn't too late and the time wasn't right to disturb them, Liang Kuan's phone would probably have been bombarded with calls from these people.

Guo Sichu, who went to participate in activities with Silva, also forwarded and sent her blessings immediately. She also sent several long voice messages to Liang Kuan, probably expressing her gratitude and so on.

Without Liang Kuan's support, Guo Sichu would not have been able to live so freely these years. He would not have been so confident to switch jobs to Rolling Stone.

Tao Xiaoyu's success in competing for the chart marks the first milestone for Magic Rock, a new label under the Rolling Stones. This is very important for her, Liang Kuan and many others.

In Moyan’s current plans for this year, the album “Songs from the Past” is the top priority. Now that we have made such a good start, everyone hopes that this momentum can be maintained in the next five months.

As for Silva, after "Summer of Love", Elf really enjoyed himself and didn't want to go back to Europe.

There are more than a dozen endorsements under negotiation, and he has received so many invitations from various TV stations and programs that he doesn't know how to choose. There are also countless commercial performances.

What made him most excited was Silva, who didn’t like these jobs before. He didn’t know whether it was because of his participation in the recording of Le Xia or because of the magical country of China.

She actually started to be willing to take on these jobs, but all of them had to go through strict screening by Elf and the small team borrowed from Liang Kuan.

Today's event was also very coincidental. For a certain international brand of perfume, the domestic spokesperson is Guo Sichu and the European spokesperson is Silva, so both women attended at the same time.

This has invisibly raised the status of Magic Rock in the industry. You know, if you want to invite foreign first-line artists to participate in domestic activities, it is not enough to have money. The relationship between DGM and Rolling Stone is well known to everyone in the circle, and with Guo Sichu as the pillar, many people have begun to have ideas.

At the same time, Elf had discussed with the head office and decided to hand over all of Silva's agency matters in China to Mo Yan. In fact, this was because of Liang Kuan's agency and the Rolling Stones brand.

In exchange, Guo Sichu's agency matters in Europe will also be handed over to Elf's team.

They will have to discuss this matter formally with Liang Kuan after they return to Chuncheng.

As for Hatter, the location and time of the first stop of the tour have finally been finalized. The location is set at Wukesong on June 6. The Rolling Stones will be the guests, and the opening band will naturally be Exodus, which had been scheduled before.

The news was announced on June 6st, and the ticket sales were announced. This is not a big deal in the entire entertainment industry, but it is different in the rock industry.

This time, the promotion did not involve any mysterious guests, it just openly used the name of the Rolling Stones.

Many of Hatter's old fans began to complain:
"This is screwed. I originally thought there would be no pressure to grab tickets with 8000 tickets, but now with the Rolling Stones fans, it's going to be very difficult!"

"There are so many venues across the country, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"

"Of course not. The Rolling Stones can't possibly follow them around the country as a guest. I guess it's just the beginning and the end. Forget about going anywhere else."

"That's right. If it doesn't work, we can just grab a ticket at the next stop. The Magic City isn't that far away!"

As for the rock fans in the circle, those who heard the news started sending messages to Bian Lang to ask to buy tickets.

Bian Lang had already thought about these things. These 8000 tickets were all for music fans. A special area was set aside in the venue to invite people in the circle to come. Chen Shuting was left to arrange the specific details.

Evelyn was actually a little conflicted about this matter. After all, the popularity of the Rolling Stones in China was there, and doing so was equivalent to taking advantage of the popularity of the Rolling Stones. From a commercial perspective, this was fine, but from the perspective of testing Hatter's real market appeal in China, it was a bit bad.

However, the performance of the first show's ticket sales will determine the subsequent investment promotion. She was really worried that if the first show was sold out, it would be difficult to pre-cool the tickets later.

The first advertiser was Tank3000, who agreed to the offer without much consideration. In less than a year, they have seen significant results from eating into Bianlang's traffic. Even if Hatter's results were average this time, they were willing to be the scapegoat, just as a favor.

As for the fact that Xie Xinyan was backstabbed by "his own people" after his comeback as a king, the fans of the franchise treated it as a joke and pushed it to the top of the trending searches.

Although the fans are unwilling to accept this, none of them are the kind of fans who would mindlessly start a war.

First, they knew the relationship between these two people and these two songs. If it really got ugly, Xie Xinyan would have a hard time living under Bian Lang. Xie Xinyan finally made a comeback in the music industry because of Bian Lang's catalysis. If he had to act in a movie again because of this incident, it would be a loss.

Second, they also admit that Tao Xiaoyu's rendition of "When Dreams Wake Up" is indeed nice to listen to, and has the potential to become a classic sad love song, and will be sung in the future. In comparison, "Viva" has a smaller audience. Some people even joked that even if this song was played by Bian Lang, it would probably fail!

Today, Tao Xiaoyu's agent's phone was bombarded with calls. All of them were to confirm Tao Xiaoyu's schedule, hoping to invite her to sing "When Dreams Awake" on TV shows and commercial performances. In fact, this fluctuation had already appeared when the competition for the list began, but many people were waiting and watching at that time. But now Tao Xiaoyu has defeated Xie Xinyan and won the first place.

Then the value is completely different!
