Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 786 The Queen's Decision

At this moment, the group of five people in the conference room were also confused.

No one had considered this issue just now, and their way of thinking was still stuck in the concept that Guo Sichu was just a non-staff member of the Rolling Stones.

Now that Bian Lang asked that question, Liang Kuan was the one who had the most difficulty.

To be honest, she certainly wanted Guo Sichu to join the team. Although Guo Sichu was crowned the queen in China, her fame abroad was far less than that of the Rolling Stones. There were only benefits and no harm in going out.

But the problem is that there is only two months of rehearsal time. Can Guo Sichu and the Rolling Stones get along well? And during these two months, Guo Sichu has other work to deal with...

Liang Kuan quickly reviewed the confirmed schedule in his mind and shook his head, "Time does not allow. First of all, I have to be responsible for the contracts on hand, and secondly, I have to be responsible for the quality of the Rolling Stones' performances!"

Bian Lang, who already knew Liang Kuan's style, didn't say much. He had no preference on this matter at the moment. He just wanted to confirm it and let everyone make some arrangements.

But who knew that Liang Kuan would take a turn later: "But I think it's still okay to participate in some performances and a small number of songs. One show each in China, Europe and North America, what do you think?"

Bian Lang didn't say anything at first, waiting to see other people's reactions, and then Olaf jumped out first: "If that's the case, then I have to put forward my thoughts. I suggest that Miss Guo only participate in two shows in Europe. This schedule is easier to coordinate, and European fans will be happy too.

If a band performs two different shows in Europe in a short period of time with different songs and even different personnel, it is not a good thing for the Rolling Stones who are performing their first solo show! "

Since Olaf has spoken, Lao Pan will not hide it anymore: "I suggest the same thing, or just don't participate. Chuchu and Bianlang's current relationship... um, I mean, will the fans... Also, if you go abroad and Chuchu is not in China... many people will not agree, and then the public opinion will be very unfair!"

Liang Kuan frowned after listening to this. What everyone said made sense, but she had been with Guo Sichu for so many years, and no one wanted Guo Sichu to become famous all over the world more than she did.

Just when she was thinking about how to solve all this, Bian Lang spoke up: "Then don't follow as the lead singer of the band for now, but appear as a guest singer. This is the simplest and most flexible way. I'll pick two songs for her and she can rehearse them a few times. Then she can adapt to the situation when the time comes!"

After Bian Lang made the final decision, no one had much to say. As for the rest of the bands, Bian Lang didn't need to personally inquire about them.

After waiting for Liang Kuan for a while, the two of them went to the school next door to see what kind of good seedlings Huang Wei's company had sent them. They also wanted to see if any of the three men could fit in a pair of chopsticks.

"Bian Lang, what is your plan for choosing songs for Chu Chu?"

We already have some ideas for this side wave, currently it's Cranberries and Roxette, as for Nightwish we'll have to wait and see later.

"All in English. Since your future goal for Guo Sichu is also to go global, English songs are the first choice."

Bian Lang didn't need to explain this point in detail, and the two of them reached a consensus.

As for Guo Sichu, neither of them felt any pressure. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight first. There is nothing to say about this.

"Well, does she need to train any special vocal techniques? If so, I'll arrange her time in advance and find a vocal teacher."

Bian Lang thought for a moment and said directly: "Let her practice her angry voice. After all, songs like 'Dreams' are alternative rock songs. For a normal rock singer, angry voices are used a lot."

"You don't need to find a vocal teacher for this. Just wait for her to come back and learn from you."

"Yes, sure. By the way, where did she go today?"

"I went to record a program on Fruit Channel to promote Summer of the Band."

"Huh? That weekly variety show is still on?"

"Yes, but the influence is not as great as before. But if Le Xia wants to go out of the circle, exposure through these channels is necessary. They originally invited you to go, but I thought you wouldn't have that intention, so I told Chu Chu. Then she agreed..."

Hearing this, Lang suddenly felt something in his heart, and then asked: "Has she been on it before? Has anyone of the same status been on it before?"

Hearing the change in Bian Lang's tone and the speed of his speech, Liang Kuan smiled inwardly before replying, "Don't worry, I won't lose face. Chu Chu's career and mine are tied together. I can seriously say that even if you ask, I won't agree to anything that's disadvantageous to Chu Chu!"

“How come you talk like a father-in-law talking to his son-in-law? Really…” Bian Lang muttered to himself, then said, “Thank you. If you really let me go, I think I will…”

"No need. I think if I tell you, even if you want to refuse in the end, the entanglement process will definitely be very difficult. Chuchu won't go there to make those games or anything like that. She will just show up and sing a song, and that's it. Their studio director won't dare to make it difficult..."

As they chatted, the two arrived at the school.

Liang Kuan made a phone call to ask, and then a young girl who had never been seen before ran to the cafeteria to find the two of them.

"Sister Kuan... Teacher Bian Lang, hello! I'm Zhang Yingru, the leader of this extraordinary trip. You can just call me Xiao Zhang... OK. They're still in class now, why don't you two wait here and I'll call them over after class."

The way he was out of breath, it was obvious that he had just run.

Liang Kuan said a few words of comfort before asking, "Whose teacher are they taking?"

"Teacher Li Linqing's vocal lessons are really professional. She is much better than the ones we invited to the company for training."

Bian Lang couldn't tell whether the girl was flattering or telling the truth, so he asked, "Xiao Zhang, could you please tell me what their strengths are? I really want to know. By the way, please take us there directly. We want to see their condition during class and their current foundation."

If you want to choose a pair of chopsticks, singing skills are secondary. Anyway, it is not difficult for studio singers like "Old Boy" to sing songs casually. These are all leftovers from talent shows, so there is basically no need to worry about singing skills.

The key is the appearance of the two people, they have to be ordinary enough. If they are a pair of handsome guys, this thing will not work at all when filmed.

But he couldn't ask in front of the company's leader: "Are there any people with ordinary looks among you who came this time?" So he could only go to the scene and see directly.

Liang Kuan didn't tell anyone what they were here for, so Zhang Yingru was a little nervous.

And her inner drama is so rich that it is almost overflowing. As the team leader, she certainly hopes that Bian Lang can look at the people she leads differently. It would be best if he could just give them half a song or a whole song. That would be the best.

But she was also afraid. Bian Lang's ability to feed people by looking at them was well known in the circle, and there was no doubt about it. She was afraid that the person Bian Lang liked would end up being in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han, and then...

She was thinking all the way, and she still had no idea when she arrived at the classroom door. In order not to disturb their normal teaching order, Bian Lang and others stood outside the classroom and watched. They saw Li Linqing playing the piano while guiding the students to do voice training. There were few people in the school, so their appearance was still seen by the students in the classroom.

"Is that Bian Lang, Teacher Bian?"

As soon as the whispering sounded, Li Linqing also saw the three of them, and then he coughed lightly to remind everyone to continue to study seriously.

But it seems nothing...

In the end, Bian Lang and the other two left and went to another classroom to watch!
This was the first time that Bian Lang came to watch since the beginning of the school year. When he arrived, Ding Tong was teaching "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty". Bian Lang stood at the back of the classroom and listened for a while.

"Old Ding's talent for teaching is quite strong. I wouldn't have such patience if it were me!"

Zhang Yingru smiled and didn't respond, but Liang Kuan said without hesitation: "That depends on the person. If Chuchu asked you to teach, you would be patient."

"What's the point of this kind of test?" Bian Lang thought to himself, and then replied: "That depends on whether she has the patience. Besides, why bother? Let's save some food for those of us who play musical instruments!"

After watching for a while, the three of them walked away. Liang Kuan asked about the course schedule of the students at Feifan Entertainment. The class there had just ended, so Bian Lang and the others went directly to Li Linqing's classroom.

"Teacher Li, how are you? Are you used to it?"

Li Linqing didn't try to hide it and told the truth directly: "It's OK. The sound conditions are good, but everyone's basic knowledge of music theory is a little lacking. Do you want to find a teacher from Yunnan Art Institute to give you a refresher?"

According to the original arrangement, these seven students did not have this course, but seeing Li Linqing's euphemistic attitude, Bian Lang directly said to Zhang Yingru: "Team Leader Zhang, what do you think?"

"Teacher Bian, just make the arrangements. Our students will unconditionally cooperate with us on this point."

As soon as Zhang Yingru finished speaking, seven students spoke up one after another to express their determination, regardless of whether they meant it sincerely or not.

I guess it doesn't matter whether what I learned is useful or not, as long as I can leave a good impression on Bianlang, it will be worth it.

Since this was the case, Lang did not hesitate and directly agreed to Li Linqing: "Okay, I'll talk to Dean Li later, and then you can discuss the course time yourself."

After that, he said to Zhang Yingru, "Girls can go now, boys stay for a while."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four girls visibly turned cold. But since Bian Lang had said it so clearly, it was not good for them to continue standing there, so they walked out reluctantly.

Zhang Yingru didn't leave. She had never asked what they were supposed to do before, so she had to stay here and listen.

Seeing that these three people all looked quite ordinary, Bian Lang asked directly: "Can you all play the guitar?"

The fattest of the three said, "I can! I can play "Rice Shop" no problem!"

"Well, it's worthy of being a world-famous song!" Bian Lang affirmed in his heart and was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by the other two who said in unison: "We are learning it."

Bian Lang waved his hand and continued, "Who has dancing skills?" In the original version of "Old Boy", Xiao Yang and Wang Taili played and sang, one while the other danced, and this pair of chopsticks was complete.

The three of them were dumbfounded by this question and shook their heads to indicate that they did not have this skill.

According to their ideas when they came, the company asked them to come here for training, mainly for vocal and instrumental training. They are not cut out to be idols. It would be fine if the body shape classes could help improve their temperament, but now they have to learn dance too. Is this really something that a rock musician can come up with?
Seeing that the three were a little confused, Bian Lang started to explain: "I am planning to shoot a music video. I need to find a group to sing and play the two male protagonists in the music video. One needs to play the guitar and the other needs to do the moonwalk..."

They didn't know what the moonwalk was, so Bian Lang could only bypass this question and said, "Since the three of you are valued by Feifan, you must have no problem singing. Are you willing to give it a try?"

When they heard about this good opportunity, the three of them quickly said, "Yes!"

Bian Lang nodded and glanced at Zhang Yingru. Although she was the team leader, she was also the temporary agent of this group of people. If she didn't nod, nothing he said would be of any use.

Fortunately, Zhang Yingru had good eyesight. Before Bian Lang could speak, she took the initiative to say, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you thank Teacher Bian and introduce yourselves."

"Oh! Thank you, Teacher Bian, for giving me the opportunity! My name is Lin Youcheng..."

"Thank you, Teacher Bian. My name is Du Yongkang..."

"Thank you, Teacher Bian. My name is Xu Xiaotian..."

"Okay, let's do this for now. You will have class first, and then rest at night. Let Team Leader Zhang take you to the next door to see the director first. If he agrees, you will start to receive professional training... If the director doesn't like you, or the training effect is not good, we can replace you at any time!"

After saying this, Bian Lang left. It depends on themselves whether they can seize the opportunity.

Liang Kuan would naturally discuss the remaining contracts with Zhang Yingru, but before Bian Lang turned around and walked out the door, he heard Zhang Yingru tentatively ask: "Teacher Bian, are there any opportunities for the four girls? As long as they can show their faces, it's fine. Give them some training!"

She was also thinking that she would give it a try first, but she didn’t expect that Bian Lang would agree after a pause of one second: “There is also a female lead and many supporting roles. When the script from Director Qiu comes out, let them audition first!”

After getting the answer, the smile on Zhang Yingru's face became even brighter.

“Once Cohen confirms the matter of ‘Old Boy’, I will borrow a few people from the dance academy to develop the moonwalk, and then I don’t have to worry about anything anymore…” As he was thinking about things and walked out of the teaching building, Bian Lang was blocked by a person coming towards him.

He looked up and said, "Liu Huzhou? Why are you here?"

"Brother Lang, I want to talk to you. Guitar heard that you were here, so he came here to wait for you. Do you have time?"

Thinking about what happened recently, since Dong Youbian went abroad, Liu Huzhou and Chen Xuan, as members of the folk music camp, have been affected to some extent.

But Bian Lang is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish between public and private. The amount of folk songs accumulated in his mind is just as much as rock music, so he still needs to grasp this area.

"Let's go, it's almost time for dinner, let's eat and chat in the cafeteria..."
