Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 761 Everyone has a back-up plan
The war of words in the barrage on the small broken station started and spread to the entire Internet because of the end of "Boys Don't Cry".

It seems that the two sides are evenly matched, but in fact, among Li Yiliang's supporters, the proportion of fans is almost negligible. Under the guidance of the water army, keyboard warriors and network trolls have become the main body. Apart from mindless trolling that ignores facts, there is nothing new.

However, this popularity did boost the download volume of "Ode to Loneliness".

Because the song was written by Bian Lang, the main forces on the Sea Turtle side are also Jinzi and 100,000 hippies.

Most of the 100,000 hippies were those who presented facts and reasoned. There were many star-chasing girls in Jinzi, and they were very good at controlling comments. As long as it was the official account of the relevant person, it was their battlefield. Those passers-by who came in unexpectedly thought that the Rolling Stones had hired water army.

However, the parties involved in the incident remained very calm, and no one spoke out.

On the other hand, "The Voice of China" saw the right opportunity and was the first to come out!

A program poster featuring Li Yiliang and his band "Face" was released by the official Weibo account. Although it didn't say anything, people who know about this could naturally understand the tension in it.

They didn't know whether it was one of their own people using a smurf account or they hired a special army of internet trolls, but the comment section was filled with comments like "Always imitated, never surpassed!" and "The King Returns!"

Among them are Yin Yang from "Summer of the Band", Mr. Turtle, and Bian Lang. The whole thing feels as if "Summer of the Band" copied them completely.

This was something that neither the "Summer of the Band" team nor the Rolling Stones had expected. It was obvious that they underestimated how thick-skinned Qiu Kui was.

At this time, in the group where the minefield man was, the group owner PR finally gave the first release message: "@白刀老师, your article can be published."

After receiving the message, Bai Dao did not respond immediately, but looked at the time. It was almost 20 minutes since the performance of "Summer of the Band" by Hai Gui. His short essay of less than 500 words could indeed be published!

After responding in the group, he clicked publish on his computer.

The content is just facts and insults, and the accompanying picture is the time when Liangzi uploaded the video of Bian Lang singing and playing the guitar on "Rock Sauna" and the time when Li Yiliang and his new song was released. And @ Li Yiliang and the official of "The Voice of China" were mentioned.

There was no mention of "The Voice of China" in the original plan, but since people are coming to confront him, Bai Dao will not show any mercy.

Anyway, this is a new account, so he doesn't think it's a big deal even if it's blocked again. Anyway, now he has discovered that he has a lot of loyal fans who don't like his music, but just like to see him argue with people.

So after the release, he @The Voice's official Weibo account and posted: "You old man, you didn't ask a single question from the birth to the upbringing of your son, and now that he's successful, you come to acknowledge him as your son. Do you think you, a five-guarantee household that I hate, can be any more shameless?"

Online quarrels are all about who is more shameless. Qiu Kui certainly doesn't care about the gains and losses of this city or pond.

But after some interview videos of artists who had conflicts with them were exposed, the situation was different. Some shady things like "50W per lamp" and "grassroots is just a cover, those who can advance are either bribed or have connections" were dug up by some residual chlorine marketing accounts.

These news have been circulating on the Internet before, but whether they are true or false, people just watch them for fun and not many people care.

But this time it’s different. Some of the artists who spoke out were those who were treated unfairly and eliminated at the time, and have now made it big. These people are now all eager to speak in person, so their credibility is completely different!

Qiu Kui was upset after seeing the news. The inside story of "The Voice of China" is no secret in the industry, but it was not disclosed in such a concentrated manner before, and it was not during the broadcast schedule of the program, so it was convenient for them to deal with it.

But this time it was so concentrated and at this point in time. If she said it was a coincidence, Qiu Kui would be the first one who would not believe it.

"It must be either Summer of Le or Rolling Stone. They have already prepared for it. Zhu Wen is really good at scheming. He just hides behind the scenes and lets us and Li Yiliang go to confront the Rolling Stone head-on, while he and Magic Disc just sit back and reap the benefits..." When saying this, the expression on Qiu Kui's face was like Rong Mama holding a bamboo stick.

As a variety show that has lasted for more than 10 seasons, the PR means are definitely not too weak. Anyway, Blue Channel and "The Voice" are one and the same, so Qiu Kui will not worry too much. It's just a matter of seeing which direction to start from!

Although Rolling Stone and "Summer of Music" had not taken any precautions against "The Voice of China" before, Du Ziteng, who took the job from Rolling Stone, was on guard.

Most of the accounts that released negative information about "The Voice of China" are maintained by their own companies. As for the materials, how could a company of their nature not collect all kinds of materials on a regular basis?

At this time, Du Ziteng was swaying in his boss chair. What he released now was only a part of the negative information about "The Voice of China" in his database. There were some more explosive ones, such as "the mentor revealed that he was ordered to turn around by the director", which he had not yet released.

After all, if he wanted to make money on both ends, some things would not be sold at a good price. Of course, he was not the only one who had these things, but he was confident that there would not be many people who could use them like he did.

Just when he was thinking about how to contact The Voice of China, his cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Liang Kuan calling, Du Ziteng said to himself with some regret: "This woman's judgment is still so accurate. It seems that I can't make any money from this!"

After saying this, Du Zijian took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and just before he thought the other party was about to hang up, he slid the screen to answer the call.

The tone of his voice changed from calm and self-satisfied to emotionless: "Mr. Liang, I'm personally watching the blogger's posting time. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

Liang Kuan didn't believe the old man's nonsense, but he hid his sneer in his heart. He spoke with a grateful tone: "I want to thank Mr. Du on behalf of Bian Lang and Summer of Music for what happened just now. I guess Mr. Du should have a lot of explosive information in his hands, right?"

"Mr. Liang, aren't we friends with the Rolling Stones? Since it's just something we can do for a friend, there's no need to be so polite!" Du Ziteng didn't want to reveal all his cards in one go, so he wanted to test the waters first.

Unfortunately, Liang Kuan was too perceptive. When she saw those entertainment marketing accounts collectively start to expose negative information, she thought it must be Du Ziteng. Given the nature of this old fox, he must have another trick up his sleeve. From a business perspective, this approach is understandable, but Liang Kuan knew that if she went against "The Voice of China", she would be going against Blue TV.

There is no need to explain much about Blue Channel's background. Over the years, the situation of death by entertainment and death by entertainment has happened to Blue Channel more than once or twice. Until now, not only has it not been affected much, but it has also been able to keep up with the pace of Fruit Channel. This is enough to explain many problems.

Therefore, she must ensure that Du Zijian's backhand play is beneficial to the Rolling Stones, otherwise when something happens later, the Rolling Stones will be passive.

"Boss Du, let's not beat around the bush. Although we are friends, brothers should be clear about accounts, right? Just name your price directly..."

At this point, Du Ziteng knew there was no need to continue playing Tai Chi, so he just laid it out: "Boss Liang, you know what I want. If this gift today and the other materials I have are not enough, I can accept any additional fee..."

Du Ziteng did not specify the price, but Liang Kuan knew it very well: it was the distribution rights of Rolling Stone Craft Beer.

If he really just wanted the distribution rights of Pengcheng, Ai Hao would have agreed to it long ago. I don't know why this old fox changed his mind after meeting Bian Lang. He wanted the online distribution rights of Rolling Stone Craft Beer. This appetite is really big.

Speaking of Xibiqi, even if you ask Bianlang, they will not do online business. This is the same as other beer brands with strong regional characteristics.

However, the positioning of Rolling Stones from the beginning is completely different. It targets consumers who pursue quality, so it is inevitable to go online. However, it has not reached that stage yet, and Ai Hao has not decided whether to do it himself or outsource it.

Therefore, Du Ziteng's condition made Bian Lang feel embarrassed at the time.

However, after Ai Hao and the others discussed it, they decided to let Du Ziteng give it a try. First, they had no experience, so it would be better to hire someone directly instead of trying to do it themselves for a year or two. It was just a matter of profit ratio.

Secondly, of course, it was given to Bian Lang as a favor. Without Bian Lang, there would be no Rolling Stone Craft Beer. In other words, without Bian Lang, it is unknown whether Xibiqi has been acquired. Anyway, even if it is given, various corresponding terms and conditions will be in place. If Du Ziteng can't make it, then it can be taken back.

This way, someone will spend money and energy to pave the way for the brand, which is not a bad thing for Xibiqi.

However, Bian Lang did not inform Du Ziteng about this matter immediately, but told Liang Kuan and let Liang Kuan handle it himself. His original intention was to give Liang Kuan more resources, so that whoever thought of this matter could use it!

"How about this, Mr. Du, since you have mentioned it so sincerely several times, I will accept the matter on behalf of Bian Lang. But the specific details of the cooperation can only be discussed with the factory by you when the time comes!" Liang Kuan deliberately made her tone quite embarrassed, making people feel that she, Liang Kuan, would also have to pay a lot for this matter.

Hearing this, Du Ziteng's tone, which had been flat until now, changed a little: "Then I really have to thank Mr. Liang..." Although he knew that Liang Kuan's words were full of water, since his goal was achieved, Du Zijian would not care about other things.

"I still have 15 videos in my hand, two of which were leaked by former mentors of The Voice of China. One of them has not been circulated in China yet, and now it's up to you how you use it..."

After Du Ziteng finished speaking, Liang Kuan replied without even thinking: "Send it to me so I can take a look, and then I'll tell you what I think."

After receiving the documents and watching the video of the Hong Kong mentor, Liang Kuan remembered that Xie Xinyan had also been a mentor. Now she felt more confident.

……

As for one of the main actors, Bian Lang, he doesn't care whether there is a flood of comments on the Internet or not. He just enjoys the music with more than 2000 fans at the scene.

The previous plan was to sing 16 songs, so the number will not change, except that half of the original songs have been replaced.

This time, Bian Lang sang the song he had prepared, "The Fear in My Heart", on the stage. Although this song is already quite popular, this is the first time that the Rolling Stones performed this song in a public live performance. The harmony vocals that had been waiting in the wings finally came into play.

The identities of these three harmony singers really surprised the fans in the audience. They are Guo Sichu, Xia Yuxi and Feimos!

Guo Sichu had already sung the harmony of this song for Bian Lang on a variety show, and she is now preparing to become the lead singer of the Rolling Stones, so although fans felt surprised, it was also understandable.

As for Xia Yuxi, he was not originally in the plan, but after the incident, he reached an unknown PY deal with Tan Ying and replaced Tan Ying, which was unexpected for the fans at the scene. Although it was rumored that Xia Yuxi would be the lead singer of Hedgehog, the fans were still reluctant to believe it before seeing the real combination.

After all, the contempt chain is there. If Bian Lang hadn't had the amazing record of developing Liangzi and Golden Horse Awards, rock fans would have probably criticized him a long time ago. Today, I saw Xia Yuxi singing harmony on stage, and my impression of him instantly improved. Bian Lang didn't expect Xia Yuxi to come up, but he didn't care. He believed that any member of the Rolling Stones could sing the harmony.

As for Fimos, that was really a big surprise!
That is to say, if there were English lyrics at the end of the song, Bian Lang would definitely kick the guy who came up to make trouble away.

"Just take away the pain that penetrates my heart... and let me be empty-handed again... Only when I am dying can the real me be born..."

These lyrics, which are both sad and uplifting, made the fans at the scene feel that this is a true reflection of the current situation of the Rolling Stones.
They are already a top-notch band in Chinese rock music, but they were forced to change venue and perform on the street by a DY internet celebrity. Isn’t this a "heart-wrenching pain"?

And it's not just the Rolling Stones who are feeling the pain, it's also the pain for all rock fans and all rock people!

This was the first concert of the Rolling Stones! In the minds of these people, this was destined to be a rock milestone. If it was really ruined, then what they would have to face later in the journey might not just be the three punches and two kicks they received today. It might be the lifelong hatred of the entire rock community for him!
Therefore, everyone felt relieved when they sang the last line of the English lyrics: "Just let time go on, Your kneeling now stand, With no fear in my heart, God comes into my mind..."
