Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 697: Red Carpet
Guo Changxiong and his friends didn't watch for long before going back together. It wasn't because the organizers wanted to chase them away, but they wanted to leave some surprises for tomorrow.

Green Algae did not bring professional nail tools this time. After rehearsing in the daytime, she went to borrow tools from her friends. When she returned to Wukesong, she immediately started to do Bob's nails. It was not until the Rolling Stones were finished that Bob went on stage with his new nails, very satisfied.

Then Green Algae was targeted by the bassist. After returning to the B&B, Green Algae worked overtime until after 3 a.m. Feimos also wanted to try, but his hand was not healed yet and he couldn't play the piano, so Green Algae refused because it was useless.

Fortunately, the second rehearsal was held in the afternoon of the next day, so we could get enough rest.

That afternoon, Green Algae and her friends finished rehearsal first and came out to get some fresh air. It was around five o'clock, and rock fans had already gathered in the open space at the entrance of Wukesong.

Seeing someone taking a photo with the poster at the door, the guitarist of Exodus said with some envy: "We wish we could have this scene someday!"

Although Green Algae was envious, he felt that this day would not come too late.

They are no longer unknown now. They have to open the first show of Hatter's tour. I wonder how many bands of their level are eager for this opportunity!
So she patted the guitarist's shoulder and said very domineeringly: "In three years, I believe Brother Lang can take us to Europe!"

Just as he finished speaking, a foreign guy with blond hair and blue eyes came up to talk to him. Everyone thought he was just chatting her up for no reason, after all, Lu Zao's looks were among the best in the industry.

But who knew that the guy would say the name of the band right away: "Hello, are you the Exodus band?"

The moment they heard the name of their band, several people felt like they were hallucinating.

But after a brief moment of daze, Green Algae was the first to speak: "Yes, please..."

Before he could finish his words, the handsome foreign guy excitedly turned around and called out to his friends: "Guys! It's really Exodus, come on!"

Then he turned to Green Algae and continued, "We got to know you after watching the video of the Rolling Stones Music Festival. We really like your music! I never thought there would be a band playing Celtic metal in China."

The guy spoke pretty good Chinese, and he didn't speak fast, so everyone could understand him.

Green Algae looked at the guitarist with some pride, then smiled and responded to the foreign guy: "Thank you for your love! Are you here to listen to Hatter's performance today?"

"Yes, when I was still in England, I never had the chance to see Hatter live. I never thought that coming to study in China would allow me to realize this wish! I look forward to your special performance in BJ. When the time comes, I will definitely go there to experience your music in person!"

"Thank you for your support, but you don't have to wait until I have a special show, you can hear our performance tonight."

Now it was the guy's turn to not believe his ears. Although the name of the opening band was not announced, no one expected it to be Exodus!

For a moment, the young man's eyes widened, and he screamed with disbelief on his face: "Incredible, you are the warm-up band for Hatter tonight! That's great! I think the quality of this performance is definitely the best I've ever seen in China!"

After the young man was excited, his companions also ran over. After hearing the news, everyone showed a very surprised expression on their faces. Since they came together, there would not be any difference in their preferences for music.

One of the Chinese girls even took a photo with the band and directly uploaded the photo to Weibo, and announced the news that Exodus would be the warm-up band!
Exodus was not very famous before participating in this year's Rolling Stone Music Festival. Although it has increased a little after this year's Rolling Stone Music Festival, it has not reached the level of breaking out of the circle. However, the small circle of metal fans has a small advantage, that is, the speed of communication is fast!

Not long after she posted this Weibo, it had received over a thousand likes. Some metal fans at the scene even came over to ask for photos and autographs based on the details of the scene in the picture.

As a result, Lv Zao and the others were all very proud when they went in to prepare for the show. When they passed by Bian Lang, Lv Zao went up to him, grabbed Bian Lang's arm and thanked him profusely: "Brother Lang, thank you so much. Without you and the Rolling Stones, how could Exodus be so recognized by the fans today!"

"What's wrong? You don't have a fever, do you?" Bian Lang, who was a little confused, had just finished speaking and wanted to reach out to touch Lu Zao's forehead.

Lu Zao pushed Bian Lang's hand away and started talking about her experience outside.

Bian Lang was thinking, "If you knew that DGM is already discussing your overseas agency matters, would you faint?"

However, Bian Lang was just thinking about it in his mind and didn't plan to tell them at this point in time. What if they were too happy and one of them couldn't control himself and hit Hatter on the head? That would be a lot of fun!

Of course, he won't give you a surprise after a good performance. After all, Exodus was favored by DGM, and there won't be any major changes because of this performance. It's just a difference in the conditions during the negotiation.

"That's enough, keep this one steady. If we mess this up, it will be such a disgrace to my grandma!"

If a few people say they are not nervous, that would be a lie. The experience of attending a music festival is completely different from this kind of occasion!

But if Bian Lang just kept encouraging them, they might have become even more nervous. But now that Bian Lang gave them a harsh warning, their desire to win outweighed their nervousness.

"Brother Lang, just watch..."

……

As the show was about to start, celebrities from the circle began to arrive one after another.

Some who wanted to take advantage of the popularity naturally went out in a big way, and even went to the posters at the door to pose for photos and post them on the Internet. The low-key ones either went through the employee channel, or dressed modestly to take a look at the front, take a photo and then go in.

Xie Xinyan belonged to the latter, but he still stood in the crowd at the door for a long time.

This reminded him of Hatter's performance at Wembley last year, when the Rolling Stones were also invited as guests. Now, less than a year later, this scene has already developed in China.

And looking at the situation at the scene today, the fact that Hatter’s first show was sold out is definitely due to the Rolling Stones.

Xie Xinyan smiled and turned around, taking a selfie with his back to Wukesong and the big poster in the distance. Then he put on his mask again with satisfaction and hurried to the staff passage! Xia Yuxi was similar to Xie Xinyan, except that he didn't wear a mask and was still with Dingding, Tong Qi and Zhu Wei.

As for why Zhu Wei infiltrated Hedgehog's organization, that was Ding Ding's idea.

Before Xia Yuxi came, Hedgehog had three members of the Rolling Stones, and Strauss held three positions. Tong Qi and herself were also musicians who held two positions at the same time, which was not a problem in the short term, but as time went on, and there were more overlaps in time, conflicts arose.

Drummers are scarce, so she has no problem taking care of both Compass and Hedgehog, but Huang Kai and Strauss will be irreconcilable as long as the Rolling Stones have a performance.

So she started looking for replacement musicians internally. Zhu Wei happened to have no idea at the moment, so she just brought him in first.

When the four of them were taking photos in front of the poster, Ding Ding was recognized by fans. It was the first time in Xia Yuxi's life that he was asked to take photos with others as an extra, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it and even found the experience interesting.

When he went in, he asked Ding Ding: "Ding, what do you think would happen if someone recognized me in the photo?"

Before Ding Ding could even open his mouth, Tong Qi laughed and retorted: "There probably aren't any fans of yours in the rock circle right now!"

"Fuck, just watch, give me a year..."

It was also because of Xia Yuxi's interactions with everyone during this period that everyone felt that he was a very sincere person, and that his singing skills and voice were really impeccable, so those who originally disliked him have now become friends with him.

At this point, Ding Ding said to Xia Yuxi very seriously: "There are still limitations for a lead singer with a pure voice in a band. Although I don't expect you to be at the same level as Brother Lang and the others, it will be better for you and the band's future if you can basically sweep the rhythm and go on stage!"

Xia Yuxi had no problem with music theory, he played the piano pretty well, and he had some basic guitar skills. He knew that what Ding Ding said was right, so he nodded and responded, "Yeah, but we still need to find a lead guitarist."

"Yes, Mr. Shi still has to teach classes in the future, so it will be difficult for him to take care of the hedgehog!"

"There's no rush for this, just take your time. Anyway, there are so many guitarists in the company, they won't be useless during the performance!"

As for the Panama band led by Silva, they stood at the door for a long time, and took a general look at the situation before taking a group photo with the poster.

When they entered, they did not go through the employee channel or VIP channel, but entered through the ordinary audience channel. They just wanted to fully examine the various capabilities of the Rolling Stones in hosting the event.

They also came during the rehearsal, but they came and left quietly, and no one except Chen Shuting noticed it. They were mainly there to check out the hardware configuration. Yiwo took a look at the line array on the stage, and there was nothing much to say about the equipment. He also heard that Olaf was in charge of the entire sound engineering, so there was no problem with the hardware and software of the equipment!
Today's move is to see their organizational capabilities in other areas. After all, they are in the same echelon as Hatter in Europe, but Hatter has at least appeared twice on Chinese music.

If they suddenly add a stop to the Panama tour, they have to consider various factors, and also see how the Hatter show performs. But in the final analysis, it is thanks to the emergence of Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones that the entire Chinese rock performance market has been boosted, which is why they have the idea of ​​performing in China.

After all, the population of this ancient oriental country is a very large market!

After entering, feeling the already heated atmosphere inside, Yiwo asked with a smile: "There are 1 people this time, right?"

"8000!"

After listening to Silva, Ivo looked at the 90% attendance rate and thought about the many fans outside. He said in confusion: "Hatter is still a bit conservative. If it is a four-sided stage, there should be a lot more fans, right? China is so big, the area of ​​one province can be compared with some of our European countries. It will be difficult for fans to follow this tour!"

Silva smiled playfully and said, "I don't know the exact arrangement, but I disagree with your last sentence. Many Chinese music fans really don't mind traveling across half the country for their idols. And China's subways are really fast and convenient. You really should go and experience it."

While they were talking, Elf came over with Liang Kuan.

Although it is not a band under DGM, Panama has a good relationship with Silva. The importance of connections in the entertainment industry is self-evident, so he is very happy to help the two parties to achieve this cooperation.

Even if the cooperation doesn't work out this time, it will leave a good impression on each other.

Liang Kuan was of course happy to have more contact with these world-famous bands and artists, but she herself had not expected that after she came to Rolling Stone, these people would come to her one after another even if Guo Sichu had tried hard to get in touch with them in the past.

It is true that Guo Sichu can get many international brands, but they are all attracted by her influence in China. Even if she has the opportunity to go abroad to watch shows and participate in activities, it is just a work-related formality. The people she can meet are just nodding acquaintances. It is impossible for her to come with the clear purpose of cooperation like Panama.

Just as the few people were introducing themselves to each other, Guo Sichu, An Feng, Lao E and Ma Rui appeared in front of the poster together.

The few of them were not covered very tightly, and there were no bodyguards to clear the way, just sunglasses and masks. However, when they took off their masks to take pictures, many people still recognized An Feng and Guo Sichu, and of course, they were asked for photos and autographs.

Later, they happened to meet a few brothers from the Dafeng band who were about to go in. Guo Sichu suddenly had an idea and asked them to help protect them in. Although the tattooed arms and long hair did not cause any psychological deterrence to the rock fans.

But many metal fans who came today were very polite and made way for them when they saw the heavy metal band members from Dafeng Band.

On the way in, Tang Dafeng joked with Guo Sichu, "If we brothers can't make a living from music anymore, we'll work as security guards."

Of course Guo Sichu would not respond casually: "Brothers, you are just joking. With Bian Lang here, there is no way we can have that day."

As the group photo of An Feng and others was uploaded to the Internet, a topic on Weibo began to become popular. Someone began to count the number of celebrities who came to participate in the premiere of Hatter. In the end, someone began to exclaim:
“This performance at Hatter is like a red carpet.”

"With this kind of scene, if you don't know, you'd probably think it's an award ceremony!"
