Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 703 Let’s go listen to the new song
After four songs, the Rolling Stones’ guest performance came to an end.

After Bian Lang and all the band members bowed out, he did not leave the stage. While waiting for Feimos and the others to come up, he walked to the side of the stage closest to Ivo and the others. After receiving a look from Silva, Bian Lang invited them, "Today, we have a famous foreign rock band at our concert. I would like to invite them to come up on stage and say hello to everyone, okay?"

Yiwo was stunned. Just when he was thinking whether to go on stage or just take the microphone and say hello to everyone, the voice of Feimos came from the stage: "Yiwo, are you here to investigate the market of Chinese rock fans? If so, I think you need to come up and say hello to everyone..."

Seeing that Phomos had walked over from the backstage and Bian Lang extended his hand to him, Yivo didn't think anything more and climbed onto the stage by grabbing Bian Lang's hand.

After exchanging glances with Feimos, Yiwo took the microphone handed over by Bian Lang and said, "Hello, Chinese music fans! I am Yiwo, the lead singer of Panama, and here are the musicians of our band!"

With the cooperation of the camera, all the band members and Silva appeared on the big screen, and Bian Lang next to them acted as Ivo's translator.

If it was at someone else's concert, Silva might have received more attention than Panama.

But this was Hatter's special show. Except for the VIPs, 99% of the other fans present were pure rock fans or metal fans, so these people's attention was focused on the Panama band.

In terms of popularity in China, Panama and Hatter may be similar. In fact, because Hatter came to China twice to participate in music festivals in the past year, and because of their relationship with the Rolling Stones, their fame in China is much higher than Panama.

But in foreign countries, it is not on the same level. To make an inappropriate analogy, it is the gap between the original Earth Tank and the Led Zeppelin.

So when many people on the VIP side were frowning and stunned, the overwhelming number of general music fans burst into applause and cheers!

Many pop singers present were confused and asked people around them: "What is the level of this Panama band abroad? Why are the fans reacting so strongly?"

The person who spoke did it subconsciously, but when Xia Yuxi heard it, the effect was completely different!

He sneered at those who were once like him, indulging themselves in the whirlpool of traffic-oriented domestic entertainment and were complacent, and couldn't help but speak to them: "It's just like the gap between you and Sister Chuchu."

"Xia Yuxi you..."

Just as he was about to retort, Yiwo's words, translated by Bian Lang, came again: "Thank you all for letting me see the Chinese people's love and passion for rock. I hope that during our Asian tour, we will have the opportunity to perform in China!"

These words were like a drop of water dropped into a boiling oil pan, causing the already restless atmosphere to explode instantly:

"Ah huh? Hatter isn't over yet and Panama is coming? I feel like this is the happiest time I've ever had since listening to rock music..."

"We Chinese rock music fans have finally made it this time!"

"Yeah, I used to envy the Japanese and Koreans because they could listen to performances by world-class rock bands. But now...hahaha, they can't even listen to the Rolling Stones!"

"With the Rolling Stones as a bridge, I think there will be more and more performances like this in the future."

Of course, the most excited people are not the music fans who are waiting for this feast, but the people from small and medium-sized entertainment companies in the VIP area.

Before, just guessing had made them want to make friends and find out information. Now that Panama has made it clear, it is even less likely that they will miss this opportunity.

The key point is that they are taking the opportunity of Hatter's concert to announce this news, which is equivalent to doing advance publicity. Once it is confirmed, it will save a lot of energy on publicity.

It is exactly as these people think. If the signal at the scene had not been so bad, this news would have probably appeared on the Internet by now.

After translating this sentence, Bian Lang directly extended an invitation to Panama: "Thank you Panama for recognizing our Chinese rock atmosphere. I, Bian Lang, would like to extend an invitation to you on behalf of Rolling Stone Music. You are welcome to perform in China!"

Bian Lang really didn't know anything beforehand, but through the reminder of Femos and analyzing the words and actions of Panama and the others, he was able to understand the real purpose of their visit.

Although the Rolling Stones may not be the only choice, as the person carrying the flag, he has to show the right attitude whether he is going out or bringing in!
After hearing Bian Lang's invitation, Yiwo smiled and said, "If we can cooperate, I hope we can invite the Rolling Stones to be our concert guests..."

Bian Lang nodded without comment, and then the two of them smiled and hugged each other on the stage, then walked backstage together, leaving the stage to tonight's protagonist, Hatter.

After hearing the conversation between the two, the people from the entertainment company who were excited just now felt their hearts half dead in an instant.

If it comes to money, resources and experience, they are not afraid to compete with the Rolling Stones. But when it comes to the guest singers, they really have no idea what to do. Of course, some people are smart and immediately think of Magic Disc.

Speaking of Magic Disc, in addition to many of its band members who came to watch the performance, Zhu Wen was of course also there.

At this time, his thoughts were similar to those of the people from other entertainment companies. The only difference was that if Magic Disc was in charge of this matter, although it could not be as good as the Rolling Stones, it would definitely have much more advantages than other companies.

Thinking that this was also a way, Zhu Wen began to think about how to contact the people in Panama.

He was not invited by the Rolling Stones, but paid for his own ticket to get in. He wore a mask the whole time for fear of being recognized by people in the circle at the scene.

The purpose is to see if there is any loophole...

He didn't know whether the Rolling Stones lost money this time, but they definitely made money from the publicity. Looking at the situation on the scene, he also felt that this path would be profitable in the future. The Rolling Stones had captured the market, but it was impossible for them to dominate the market, so he wanted to see if there was any possibility.

Zhu Wen is here, so Pan Xiulong must be here too, but he got into VIP from Liang Kuan through some connections. Facing this situation, thinking about the things that happened in the past, he felt sad. Although he didn't know whether the previous things had been discussed with Bian Lang and his cousin, he planned to meet with Pan Jianhu to have a chat after the meeting.

There is another person who is feeling very complicated right now, and that is Li Yiliang.

Being able to see a high-level European band perform live in China was definitely a big help to him, especially the song "Enter Sandman" which gave him great inspiration. But thinking that all this was because of Bian Lang, his former teammate, he felt very uncomfortable.

He still couldn't figure out why Bian Lang didn't release these songs before the band disbanded, so he wouldn't have done that. If that hadn't happened, would it have been him who was standing on the stage singing "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty"?

At this moment, he had an extremely strong desire to find Bian Lang and ask him why. Although this thought had arisen in his mind countless times, it had never been as strong as this time!
After all, after he and Bian Lang parted ways, this was the first time for him to watch the Rolling Stones' performance as a pure audience. In the previous Ximangmang Music Festival, he performed on the same stage with Bian Lang as a band, but now Bian Lang has stood on the same stage with bands like Hatter and Panama.

Moreover, he could see that Bian Lang did not look up to them in the same way that he and some domestic rock musicians looked up to foreign big-name bands. He could never have imagined that they were treated as equals and communicated with each other.

Maybe he knew in his heart that Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones had grown to a level that he could not catch up with, but he was unwilling to admit it. So, he came up with the idea of ​​abandoning Bian Lang and becoming a pop band.

In his opinion, this path is much easier than continuing in rock music, and once the band becomes popular, its future fame may surpass that of the Rolling Stones. After all, pop songs are what Chinese music fans like most.

Li Yiliang's idea is really not wrong at all. After all, there are many such examples on the original Earth. Especially the bands in Taiwan...

Thinking about all these things, Li Yiliang became more and more looking forward to the variety show that was about to be broadcast.

As for Yiwo, he did not return to the audience after he and Bian Lang went off the stage. He was no longer interested in Hatter's subsequent performances, and chatting with Bian Lang was what he needed to do right now.

Bian Lang also wanted to chat with him, so after coming down, they left the main venue directly and went to the band's lounge.

"Wave, I speak very frankly. I hope to obtain the performance copyright authorization for "JUMP." Yiwo's words were really beyond Bian Lang's expectations.

According to what Bian Lang thought, he should first learn about the current rock performance market in the country from his own perspective, listen to the Rolling Stones' ideas and suggestions for performances, and then go back and tell his agent to come over for a talk.

But who knew that Ivo wanted to buy the copyright of "JUMP"...

Seeing that Bian Lang didn't express his opinion, Yiwo was not in a hurry. He felt that Bian Lang probably couldn't understand why he came up with this idea.

But in fact, Bian Lang was thinking of something else. Since the band is called Panama and their style is similar to Van Halen, wouldn’t it be more interesting to just bring out "Panama"?

But Panama is not Hatter, the relationship is not that deep, and he wants to reproduce Van Halen, not just the songs. There is also Eddie's Frankenstein guitar... Once he has more time to hone his skills, he will be given the position of lead guitarist.

Bian Lang knew this in his heart. He was able to complete the double-tap solo in "JUMP" because he practiced a lot in his previous life. In terms of talent and skills, he and Di Li are not on the same level at all.

For example, if it takes 10 hours of practice to achieve a perfect score, it might take Bian Lang two or three times as long.

But it doesn't stop him from using the foundation he's accumulated over decades of his previous life to make Di Li doubt his life!
"Sure, let the agent discuss the specific details. I want to ask where your next performance will be?"

"The next stop is the island country, followed by the Merlion Country, and the Korean Country..." Yiwo answered Bian Lang's question almost instinctively.

"An island country? That's the hometown of Slam Dunk and Endless Rain..." Bian Lang thought to himself, but he said, "So if you want to hold a special show in China, when do you want to hold it?"

Yiwo didn't know how to answer this question, because he hadn't thought about it yet.

According to normal logic, the time for this kind of temporarily added performance must be arranged after the normal and confirmed plans. But Bian Lang asked that question, maybe he has some other suggestions.

"We haven't made any specific plans yet. If you have any suggestions, Wave, I'd love to hear them!"

Bian Lang didn't have any suggestions, he just asked casually. With the experience of organizing the Hatter special this time, Bian Lang already had an idea of ​​the time it would take to go through the various procedures. Even if it was expedited, it would take at least a week for approval.

Then we need to decide on the performance city, venue, equipment, etc. A month is the minimum preparation period. If we also add up the things like finding sponsors, etc., it is really hard to determine the time.

"I don't have any suggestions. I think your performance in China is a good thing for the development of Chinese rock music. It is my vision to prepare as much as possible and make the performance more perfect!"

If you hear someone else say this, you might think that Bian Lang is just talking nonsense. But the two of us here are rock musicians, so Yiwo believes this nonsense without a doubt!
"Thank you for your kindness, Wave. It seems that the company's previous investigation into the Chinese market was too delayed. Fortunately, we listened to Silva's advice and came here. It made us realize that it was a wrong decision to give up the Chinese market before..."

After Yiwo finished speaking, Bian Lang nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, in the past, due to many objective factors, there were some deviations in the foreign countries' understanding of our Chinese rock market. Of course, the influence of the Rolling Stones on the rock market in the past year is also an important reason." Bian Lang said this without any embarrassment, he was just stating a fact.

Yiwo didn't think that Bian Lang was just showing off in front of him. After all, before he heard about the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang, he had no idea about Chinese rock music. And he believed that bands and musicians in Europe and other countries around the world had the same perception as him.

Just when he was thinking about how to respond to Bian Lang's words, someone suddenly rushed in. Seeing Bian Lang here, the person breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Teacher Bian Lang, it's good that you are here. Hatter's new song is about to be sung later. Teacher Olaf asked me to remind you..."

Hearing this, Bian Lang stood up and said to Yiwo: "Let's go and listen to the new song..."
