Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 751 Before the Storm
Like Liu Yao, most of the musicians in the circle who had collaborations with me did not come to cause trouble, but many business partners came.

Niu Boyi and Qin Ge arrived last night without notifying the people from Rolling Stone in advance. They just said hello to You Xuefeng. It was You Xuefeng who received them last night. The three of them came together this morning.

Looking at the flower baskets at the door, Niu Boyi started to joke: "Hey, I thought these opening flower baskets were given by the decoration company, but look at the popularity of the Rolling Stones, half of the entertainment industry is here."

Qin Ge listened to Niu Boyi's boasting and complained with a smile: "Fortunately, You Tai reminded me and helped to arrange it last night, otherwise I would have lost all my face today..."

"Bian Lang wouldn't care about this, and he doesn't have the time to look at them one by one..." Niu Boyi was right. Bian Lang definitely didn't have the time.

But before the three people walked into the door of the LAB, they saw Zhou Ketong and others adjusting the position of the flower baskets and taking pictures.

"Bian Lang doesn't care, but Liang Kuan does. She's such a smart person. Without her, Guo Sichu wouldn't be where he is today." Niu Boyi had just finished saying this when he saw Guo Sichu, wearing a casual suit and holding a cup of coffee, appear at the entrance of the Rolling Stone LAB.

"Teacher Niu, come, let me take you around first..."

Niu Bo agreed, but he started to grumble in his heart: "The Queen has gone out to greet guests, so now it's time to roll the stone!"

Not only Niu Boyi, Qin Ge also muttered in his heart: "Is this still the Buddhist Queen Guo who is said to have a good personality?"

After going upstairs, Niu Bo greeted several acquaintances one after another, and then asked Guo Sichu: "Chuchu, why didn't you think of holding a bigger ceremony at that time?"

"Bian Lang and the others thought it was unnecessary, and that the grand ceremony should be held when the school is unveiled. But who would have thought that so many people would still come, and I didn't have time to deal with those who wanted to hear my words..."

After hearing this, Niu Bo silently took note of the matter. Since Bian Lang wanted to make a big scene at school, he would do his best to help.

Although he was doing well before he cooperated with Bian Lang, he was never as successful as he is now. His spirit, status and wealth have been comprehensively improved.

In the past, he was the one who begged the platform most of the time. Now, after the results of "Taohuayuan" and "Summer of the Band" are out, the platform can only treat him well and dare not offend him even if there is no cooperation.

Although it is unlikely that "Taohuayuan" and "Summer of the Band" will change platforms, if a new project comes out, these platforms are all hoping that Niu Boyi can say a few good words for them at the decision-making level.

After a quick walk around, they discovered that the Rolling Stone LAB was indeed a large entertainment and leisure complex centered around music.

The main products include live shows, records, music peripherals, musical instruments, hair styling, nail art, eyelash extensions, Amiri clothing, Bianlan drinks and simple meals, etc.

After they ordered drinks and sat down in the lounge area, Qin Ge was the first to speak: "If I were a music fan, I wouldn't want to leave after coming here on weekends..."

In fact, many music fans who arrived early in Spring City have already started live broadcasts to show off their superiority.

Zhang Wei’s girlfriend Yang Jianrong was one of them. At that moment, she caught Dayong chatting about drums with netizens in the musical instrument area.

Of course, there were also people who wanted to know the songs for the evening special, but no matter how the fans begged Dayong, the young ladies and women shouted Dayong against their will: "Handsome little brother!"

But Dayong kept saying two words over and over again: "Secret!" As for who the warm-up band was, not many people cared. Although he mentioned Longitudinal Line, it didn't cause any big reaction.

Yang Jianrong's account, which previously had only more than 300 fans, had generated over simultaneous online viewers in less than an hour after it started broadcasting in the morning.

Compared with Yang Jianrong's show-off, the little witch is much stronger.

Thanks to Rolling Stone, her account has now become the top UP host of niche music on the small site. Having tens of thousands of people online when she broadcasts is already a piece of cake.

At this moment, she was giving everyone some scientific knowledge in the musical instrument area, and the camera happened to capture a Firebird guitar that was exactly the same as Zhuang Ling's signature guitar.

Thinking about the video of "Free Like the Wind" that went viral online a few days ago, she was really envious and jealous: "The signed Firebird in the hand of that little girl a few days ago was this one. I'm really jealous. It's the first performance and first signing of "Free Like the Wind", and it's a one-of-a-kind guitar..."

As soon as she said that, her sympathetic friends in the live broadcast room immediately jumped out to express their thoughts:
"Alas, if it was a girl who could play the guitar, I wouldn't be so jealous."

"Haha, I heard that the owner of the music store in Shanghai who sold this guitar doubled the price of the guitar and the girl didn't even blink an eye."

"Speaking of this, I just hate my wallet. I've been eyeing this guitar in the Magic City for a long time..."

"Brother upstairs, even if you have plenty of money in your pocket, you don't have the opportunity like that little girl to have a meal with Master Bian face to face!"

"That's the point. Witch, hurry up and take this one, or you'll run into the God of Waves..."

The little witch thought so before, but these pianos are just for display now and none of them are for sale.

As for where this guitar came from, it was naturally that the people at Gibson saw the video of "Free Like the Wind" and immediately found the dealer who had sold it, bought it back at a premium, and sent it to Bian Lang.

Fortunately, Gibson's people were quick, otherwise they wouldn't be able to buy this guitar even if they had the money.

The staff member who delivered the guitar also made a special explanation: "We checked the batches. This version was produced in the millennium. There are only 300 pieces in the world. I'm afraid the price of this guitar will skyrocket in the future!"

"Don't think about it. These are all for display. None of the ones here are sold outside..." As she spoke, she walked to the display cabinet of Bian Lang's homemade guitar replica.

It just so happened that a Fender staff member was here, so the little witch just found the most professional one to explain it to everyone.

"To be honest, this guitar is the most crudely made one I've ever seen. But the tone is definitely one of the best guitars I've ever heard. I don't know what Mr. Bian Lang had in mind when he made this guitar..."

When asked by netizens when the machine will be put into mass production, the young man replied firmly: "It is definitely impossible to mass produce it. The one you see now is a one-to-one model of Mr. Bian Lang's machine. The appearance is almost exactly the same, but it can't be played yet..."

Before she finished, the little witch moved the camera away from here and pointed it at the direction where the Gibson Firebird was placed. She saw Di Li coming over and talking to the staff, then taking off the guitar and carrying it away. Seeing this opportunity for a surprise interview, how could the little witch miss it? She quickly approached and asked, "Brother Di Li, are you going to use this guitar tonight?"

Musicians of the Rolling Stones are no strangers to the Little Witch, let alone the Mo Li.

After stopping to look at the camera equipment, Di Li sneered, "Don't come here and ask me for spoilers. Isn't it better to leave a little mystery for everyone?"

As soon as Di Li said this, the comment section of the Little Witch's live broadcast room immediately exploded:
"Mystery? How can there be any mystery if there's no live broadcast? Even if you add the most mystery, we have nowhere to watch it!"

"It's, it's..."

After reading these comments on Little Witch's phone, Di Li could only smile awkwardly and said to the camera: "Everyone, just watch "Summer of the Band" tonight. The official video will be released tomorrow morning."

Speaking of "Summer of the Band", tonight is the time for the second episode of the main program to be broadcast. In fact, it is needless to say that many people naturally think that the first special performance of the Rolling Stones will not be broadcast live, which must be to make way for "Summer of the Band".

But in fact, it has little to do with "Summer of the Band". The most important function given to Rolling Stone LAB is to promote rock concerts. If live broadcasts are carried out, some people, no matter how much they like rock music, may never step into a live venue to listen to rock music in their entire lives.

The Rolling Stones have reached their current status, and no one, whether it is the company or the band members, needs the income from these live tickets. To be honest, they just want more fans to come to the live performances and feel the unique charm that rock music brings to people.

There was once a saying that rock fans who have never listened to live music are a type of fake rock fans. The other two types are female fans who only look at handsome men's faces, and the other type is something that Bian Lang can't explain clearly, but as long as you chat with the other person about rock-related content for a while, you can tell.

After hearing what Dili said, the fans in the live broadcast room who were unable to attend the concert finally found a little advantage:
"Yeah! We can watch Summer of Band tonight, and those who go to watch the Rolling Stones can only watch the rest of us!"

"That's true! I never thought that we would feel superior to those who got the tickets because of Summer of the Band!"

Speaking of the second episode of "Summer of the Band", Niu Boyi and other main creators are here, and it seems that they are not worried about the ratings at all.

"Predict who will be the most popular in this issue?"

As soon as Niu Boyi raised the question, Guo Sichu took over the conversation: "Needless to say, it's New Pants, of course. I don't know how many fans cried when the goat knelt down!"

“I think they’re new pants too!”

After Qin Ge also expressed his opinion, Niu Boyi had a different view: "The Turtle and Exodus are also tonight. The live effect of Goat's kneeling may not be able to beat these two!"

"Mr. Turtle's video is touching, but the effect should not be as good as Goat's kneeling... As for the special effect of Exodus leading his troops, that's a bit beyond the scope!" Qin Ge continued to analyze.

"The turtles have off-field factors!"

After hearing this reminder, the three people including You Xuefeng immediately understood.

Bian Lang had been prepared for this. There would be a performance by the Turtle tonight, and everyone on the Rolling Stones side firmly believed that Li Yiliang would definitely attack again.

Why did the incident of the same name as the Face band stop fermenting on Monday, and the short essay on the official account of Li Yiliang's band was also deleted? That was because when Xiang Kun checked the trademark registration on Monday, he found out that the band name had been registered by someone last year, and the trademark holder was Rolling Stone Records.

The moment he learned the news, Xiang Kun felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness towards Bian Lang for the first time.

As for Zhu Wen, he was stunned for half a minute after receiving the news. He was not upset about the failure of his plan, but was surprised at the foresight and unreasonableness of Bian Lang's behavior.

If he said it was a coincidence, he would not believe it at all. If he said Bian Lang deliberately set up a trap to trick Li Yiliang, then Bian Lang was too amazing!

As for Li Yiliang, after hearing the news, he was once again filled with impotent rage, which then slowly turned into a feeling of suffocation! He couldn't figure out more than anyone else whether this was a coincidence or whether Bian Lang did it on purpose.

But no matter what the premise is, this result was caused by him! If he didn't use the name "Face", there would be no chance of coincidence and intention!
"Why? Why did you have to set me up with a band name so long in advance?"

But after venting, he didn't care so much, because he felt that with the current fame of the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang's arrogance, they would probably not bother to argue with him on this issue.

As long as the Rolling Stones don't come out and slap them in the face, they will continue to perform under the name of the Faces. When Mr. Turtle's "Boys Don't Cry" is officially released, they can have a good fight online about who plagiarized.

So at this moment Li Yiliang was a little excited and eager to try. He was eager for the "Summer of the Band" show to be aired as soon as possible tonight, and then the navy army they had prepared in advance would follow up and plant the concept that "Boys Don't Cry" plagiarized "Ode to Loneliness" in the minds of their band fans and the majority of keyboard warriors as soon as possible.

As for the fact that the Rolling Stones' first concert tonight will not be broadcast live, from the perspective of a rock man, he absolutely agrees with it with both hands and feet!

But considering what is going to happen tonight, he feels that it would be better for the Rolling Stones to broadcast the event live, at least it can divert the attention of many rock fans in the first place.

They have already hired a large army of internet trolls on this small, broken website, and they believe they are capable of making those rock fans get high blood pressure and heart disease in the first place.

"What a pity, Bian Lang! Tonight should have been a big day for you, the Rolling Stones, but you had to encounter such a terrible thing..."

If Bian Lang knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely laugh at him for being too naive.

Firstly, Bian Lang didn’t intend to let it go of the issue of the band’s duplicate name. Instead, he didn’t want to go through so much trouble, so he just wanted to wait until he had the slap he needed to kill him!
Second, Bian Lang has no intention of playing it safe on the issue of plagiarism. The outcome of the lawsuit is a technical issue of Zhuang Xian, but whether to sue Li Yiliang is a matter of Bian Lang's integrity.

If he was timid, that would not be Mr. Bian Erlang's character.

Speaking of Bian Lang, she is currently in the rehearsal room upstairs, rehearsing The Road to Despair with the members of the Longitudinal Line for the last time: "Let's set off. Don't ask where the road is. Moving forward desperately is the only way..."
