Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 768 Adults Don’t Make Choices
Wu Hao had expected this result. After Bian Lang rejected him, he smiled and asked, "What if we lose the lawsuit?"

"Justice lies in the heart of the people!"

These words choked Wu Hao.

"You are really something, kid. The fans gave you justice, but they put some people on the spot. The key is that Li Yiliang's name is definitely not among those who were hurt the most..." Wu Hao muttered in his heart, but said, "It's not easy for Yunnan Province to produce such a band that can be used as a business card. Since you don't want to reconcile, I won't say much, but you have more than just fans behind you!"

"Hey! Do I have the imperial seal and the iron certificate?" After thinking this over in his mind, Bian Lang politely replied, "Thank you, Director Wu. This matter is very important to me and the company, so the solution of reconciliation is not even within my consideration!"

Wu Hao could empathize with what he heard. Why did you plagiarize my work and then you distort the truth? There is no hope of going to court!

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. That’s probably the case!

He just received a private call from the higher-ups, just to pass on a message. It sounded like if Bian Lang was willing to reconcile, they would go talk to Li Yiliang. This behavior made him angry!
Anyway, the matter has become a big deal now, and public opinion is more inclined to be favorable to Bian Lang and Rolling Stone. The order of copyright registration time is there. Li Yiliang definitely only dared to talk big to get traffic, but Bian Lang really dared to sue.

"Okay, I won't say any more to you. If you need help, don't hide it, just ask!"

"Okay, Director Wu, then you should go to bed early!"

After hanging up the phone, Bian Lang smiled helplessly and said, "What is this all about?"

Thinking back on the whole incident from the beginning to now, Bian Lang was now extremely certain that this must have been a fraud that had been arranged long ago. And there was definitely more than just Li Yiliang behind this. He had the guts, but definitely not the brains. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sold the copyright behind Bian Lang's back, and then he would have to take the initiative to explain such a thing later.

Although Bian Lang would not do such a tasteless thing, if he wanted to do it, he would definitely not leave so many tails.

However, this incident also reminded him of a lawsuit on the original Earth, which was similar to his, but the other party was even more shameless than Li Yiliang's.

After the hit movie Nezha directed by Jiaozi became a huge success, a stage play called Five-Dimensional Memory sued Nezha for plagiarism and demanded half a small amount of money in damages. When Bian Lang saw the poster of Five-Dimensional Memory that imitated the Avatar movie poster, he thought these people were really crazy!
But at that time, "Nezha" had a box office of 50 billion, so it was worth taking a chance and turning a bicycle into an Alto.

Bian Lang followed this matter until the plaintiff's lawsuit was dismissed. I remember a netizen said at that time that it was very satisfying:
They are crazy about riding on the popularity. According to this, Japanese comics basically have five protagonists, one is hot-blooded, one is funny, one is cold-blooded, one is rational, and one is weak. Can they sue each other to death? Youbai, Psychic, Naruto, Space Knight, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, Hunter, Evangelion, Saint Seiya, Demon Altar... Maybe some are missing one, but if you listen carefully, they are all the same...

However, this song of mine would definitely not reach the 50 small goals, so some people started to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Bian Lang called Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan was still working overtime to collect various pieces of evidence online. When he saw that it was Bian Lang's number, he answered it without any hesitation: "Xiao Lang, if you want to ask about the progress, then don't talk anymore. I'm busy."

"No, I just want to ask if I can sue him for something else, so that he can be sent to jail!"

"My goodness, I just want to win the lawsuit and make the other party apologize and pay compensation. Why are you thinking of sending them to jail?" Zhang Fan said it directly without any hesitation.

"Isn't it annoying to have a piece of shitty plaster stuck to your body all the time?"

"Think about it. Including the case involving Li Yiliang, the company will have to fight at least three lawsuits in the future. If you are asked to go to court for all of them, then..."

Hearing this, Bian Lang interrupted directly: "Brother-in-law, please stop. Even if I don't understand, I know that this kind of case can be represented in court. I don't have the time to go..."

Only if you have actually been to court as the plaintiff or defendant, will you know that those grandiose court opening scenes in legal dramas are all fucking fake!
Most of them are just flattery and deception after the various aspects of human nature have been magnified and the disguise has been torn off.

Bian Lang was unlucky. He had been there twice in his previous life. Once, he was turned from a witness into a defendant, and the other time he was the one who sued someone.

Without exception, both times, the two parties cursed each other in court, and the lawyers did the same. So he definitely didn't want to go a third time...

"So what are you going to do next?" Zhang Fan was not asking casually. For a high-profile public figure like Bian Lang, once the lawsuit starts, any news that is unfavorable to Bian Lang may affect Bian Lang himself and the Rolling Stones' plans.

Bian Lang also cooperated and told the truth: "The most important thing right now is the start of school, and writing a song for King Liu..."

Hearing about the school opening, Zhang Fan wanted to persuade Bian Lang to wait. After all, this was a sensitive period and it was about education, but thinking about Bian Lang's personality and the nature of the school, he finally didn't say it.

Although Bian Lang can start the school in a low-key manner and then hold this ceremony later, playing rock music is not like marching in the night in gorgeous clothes. If it doesn't turn the world upside down, it's not rock music anymore!

"Okay, I understand. I will discuss Li Yiliang's matter with Zhuang Lu. Anyway, I have the upper hand now!"

If it was a normal customer, Zhang Fan would not be so blunt. After all, he was his brother-in-law, and such a promising one at that!

After hanging up the phone, Bian Lang started thinking about finding songs for King Liu based on the ideas he had just mentioned.

It's like looking for someone, but it's just a choice. Compared with the one who was on the opposite side of the original Earth, this guy is much better at singing. Of the four kings of the original Earth, no matter how others praise him, Bian Lang thinks that King Liu is the most balanced one.

He can’t sing as well as Zhang Geshen, he can’t dance as well as Aaron Kwok, he’s not as tall as Leon Lai… As for acting skills, Bian Lang thinks he can’t be ranked first among the four. But he is a model of old age and perseverance, it’s not an exaggeration to say that he is a model worker.

As for this artist's songs, the one that impressed Bian Lang the most was naturally "Stupid Kid", and the rest were "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" and "Practice".

After writing down the titles of these three songs, Bian Lang crossed out "Practice" first. The reason was simple: he couldn't remember all the lyrics. He could only write down what he remembered first, and then try to make up for it when the floodgates of memory were flooded again.

I'm a little undecided between "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" and "Stupid Kid".

If you want to choose "Stupid Kid", you can just copy and paste it. The key is that the lyrics have a strong sense of the times. The resurgence of the original Earth is driven by special events... As for "Male Crime", there is a lot of room for adaptation.

Because Bian Lang felt that the original arrangement of the song was too boring and bitter based on the lyrics. But the core of the song was not like that, of course, this was just his understanding.

Fortunately, there are people who share the same idea as him. Bian Lang remembers that at a certain "Pigeon" show, Xin led people to change this song into a rock version. Bian Lang's own feeling is that, except for Pan Weibo's rap, which is a bit out of place, the other parts are really changed to suit his own aesthetic.

However, if this version was given to King Liu to sing, wouldn’t it lack that feeling?

Bian Lang did not dwell too much on this issue. As an adult, he chose to accept both. He was also confident that King Liu would accept the arrangement of recording both versions.

He did it right away. He copied the lyrics of "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" and sent it to King Liu without saying anything else. He just waited to see the reaction. After all, it was getting late, and King Liu, who has been obsessed with becoming an actor in recent years, might be busy in some crew.

Then Bian Lang found the list of female singers that Liang Kuan had sent him earlier and started to select a partner for King Liu.

King Liu is indeed on the crew, but he is not filming.

The actress who played opposite him couldn't find the mood to cry, and if she used eye drops, her facial expression was too stiff. Although he was stuffed in by the investors, King Liu was also one of the investors, so naturally he didn't need to be spoiled.

So while the director team was trying to find a solution, he continued to practice his lines with the script in the small tent nearby.

Normally in this situation, even if there is news, the assistant will wait until the filming is officially over before coming to inform King Liu. But Bian Lang was the one King Liu personally called and pinned as the top star at this stage, so of course the assistant didn't dare to delay!
"Boss, news about Bian Lang!"

"Okay, I understand. Let's talk about it after we finish this scene!"

It's not that King Liu didn't want to see it, it's just that he didn't want to film anymore after watching it. He only had a few scenes left to finish filming, so it would be best to finish filming early and go to Spring City to record songs.

Just as the assistant was about to leave, King Liu stopped him and asked, "Is there any new progress on the Bian Lang case?"

Recalling the time when he talked to King Liu about this, the assistant shook his head and said, "No..."

"Um……"

After the assistant left, King Liu's mind was no longer on the script. The few points of fine-tuning the expressions that he had thought of before now seemed boring: "I think this is enough to act opposite that model who can only stare." Thinking of this, he put the script back on the table.

When he appeared at the camera again, the entire crew was stunned by what he said: "Director, how about the previous take? If you think it's okay, let's just keep it for one take."

If this was said after the filming was completed, the director would feel that this voice was simply a blessing, but now, he couldn't figure out whether it was a blessing or a curse.

"Could it be that they greeted him?" The director thought about it and nodded, "Then let's keep one!"

The model also felt incredible, but this was definitely a good thing for her.

This time she felt that she was in a particularly good state of crying, although she still used eye drops...

As for the director, after watching King Liu's obviously bad acting through the monitor, I suddenly felt that this one was more pleasing to the eye than any of the previous ones.

After all, there is no harm without comparison. If the acting skills are brought to the same level, the models will not stand out so much!

Then the king actually asked again: "When can my scenes be arranged?"

The director, who thought he had perfect reading comprehension, was even more confused this time. What on earth was this dad, who brought money into the crew, trying to do?
But he was not the kind of person who liked to play tricks, so he asked King Liu in a low voice: "What do you mean?"

"I want to finish the filming quickly and go to Bian Lang to record a song!" King Liu doesn't like to pretend, and there is no need to pretend. Since you asked, I will tell you the answer directly!
As soon as the director heard about this, he knew it was going to happen. Since they had no objections to him, and seeing that King Liu was not interested in this, he got the shooting plan from the assistant director and confirmed it before saying to King Liu, "We'll be done tomorrow..."

After hearing this, King Liu happily patted the director on the shoulder and said, "Please, director..." Then he quickly left the filming area and returned to his nanny car.

At this time, it had been nearly an hour and a half since Bian Lang sent him the lyrics. He looked at the song title and lyrics in the file and began to add the melody in his mind. Although he was a pure vocal singer when he first debuted, he gradually learned to write his own songs, so this was just a professional habit.

But after reading the lyrics over and over again and not feeling much, he remembered to reply to Bian Lang.

However, after typing and deleting the number several times in the input box, he finally made a voice call directly, but he hung up before the number rang twice.

This is a WeChat social skill he recently learned from his assistant. It says that when you want to talk to someone by voice but are not sure whether the other party is convenient or not, you can try this. If the other party is convenient, they will call back directly. If it is not convenient or they didn't see the message, they basically won't reply.

The result of this test was that Bian Lang replied immediately: "Brother Liu? Did you lose your phone?"

This answer clearly showed that the previous test had no effect. King Liu looked at his assistant with a meaningful smile, then replied to Bian Lang: "I just finished filming and read the lyrics you wrote. I was a little excited and couldn't help myself..."

After this message was sent, Bian Lang’s voice came over: “Brother Liu, I want to make two versions of this song, one rock and one ballad. Are you going to sing both?”

“You have to sing both!”
