Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 798 Cohen ran away
Bian Lang just sang the main song and the chorus once and then called it a day.

When they came out, Wang Xianyu asked, "Teacher Bian, are you planning to change it into a Cantonese version?"

"Well, a Cantonese version, and a chorus version is also possible."

"Okay, when we have a concert at the end of the year, Taizihong and I can be each other's guests! I just don't know if he is interested, but if there are good songs, I don't think he will refuse."

Things were just as Wang Xianyu said. After Zhang Yaohong received the demo of the song, he hesitated for half an hour and then replied directly to come over as soon as possible.

His situation is similar to Wang Xianyu's. After having a family and children, his focus returned to the family. Since there was no pressure in life, he just laid back. But he still did not stop his activities and still showed up every year.

When Chu Xiwen contacted him and told him it was Bian Lang's album, Zhang Yaohong was actually a little tempted. After all, he hadn't released a new song in almost 10 years, and the new song by King Liu was so popular, which also gave him a little stimulation.

Now that I hear this song, I think it’s pretty good, so I agreed without giving it much thought.

They are all artists under Yinghu, so it is very convenient to operate.

On the third day, he brought his family and children here, and also brought Wang Xianyu's husband and children. None of the family members had ever traveled here before, and this time it happened to be during the holiday, so they just came here.

In the evening, while watching a performance and eating cross-bridge rice noodles at the Nanfeiyan main store, he followed Bian Lang to the stage and sang "No More Hesitation".

His singing skills and voice are indeed good, and he is much more handsome than the Prince Ji from the original Earth. However, compared with his wife Princess Yu, they are not even a little bit inferior.

After dinner, they went to Rolling Stone LAB, and Chu Xiwen started talking about Phoenix Entertainment: "Mr. Bian, have you heard that Yaorong's contract is about to expire? And Shiying's is almost over too."

Lin Yaorong had heard of this before, but he didn't know about Li Shiying's situation: "What does Sister Xiwen mean?"

"Sister Kuan, you should speak for yourself!"

Liang Kuan raised his glass and took a sip, then took over the conversation and said, "I just want to think about signing both of them. There is no such thing as too many musicians on the Rolling Stones side, and it would be nice for Li Shiying to sign to Magic Rock. You also recognize that girl's talent and strength, and if she signs us, we will have another powerful player!"

Bian Lang did not object, but he was afraid that people would not want to come to Yunnan Province because it would be too troublesome to manage them.

Li Shiying was fine. He had seen many Hong Kong artists signing contracts with mainland companies on his original Earth. The only difference was that they were in the north, which was convenient for him in every way.

If we bring these two people to Yunnan Province to guard the southwest for the country, they may not be willing.

"It's up to you to decide on this matter. As long as it doesn't affect work, I have no objection."

Chu Xiwen and Liang Kuan could of course understand what he meant. Before Liang Kuan could speak, Chu Xiwen said, "In fact, we at Yinghu can develop in-depth cooperation with the Rolling Stones, just like DGM. Let us host the Rolling Stones' world tour in Hung Hom, and we can absolutely guarantee that the venue will be full!"

There was another sentence she didn't say, but I believe Bian Lang and Liang Kuan could figure out the meaning on their own.

Since you are worried, Yinghu should sign these two people and then cooperate with Rolling Stone. This will be much more convenient.

The Rolling Stones don't have to worry about being out of reach, and the two don't have to worry about leaving their hometown. Although the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are like one family, many things still need a buffer zone. It's not easy for the Rolling Stones to land in Hong Kong directly, and it's not easy for Yinghu to come here to perform.

Therefore, the plan proposed by Chu Xiwen is a win-win situation!

Before the millennium, Hong Kong's entertainment market had always been extremely contemptuous of the mainland. It was only in recent years that the situation changed somewhat as it had to rely on the mainland market to make a living.

So before Bian Lang crossed over, Hong Kong stars could only make money in the mainland. In Hong Kong, even the singing gods were considered greasy, and Jiang Tao was enough.

"Sure. You can discuss the specific time with Sister Chen. As for Brother Yaorong and the others' affairs, I still say the same thing. Sister Kuan, you can make the decision."

Zhang Yaohong is a playful person. Now that his wife and children have been sent back to the hotel, he has completely let himself go. After listening to the three people talking about things, he held a full glass of Rolling Stone Craft Beer and began to greet Bian Lang: "Biansheng, let me toast you. I haven't released a new song for many years. After the millennium, our Hong Kong music market has not been doing well. The old bunch of people can't do it anymore, and I don't like the new ones either..."

After receiving this song from you, I really…really…can you write a few more Cantonese songs for me?"

Bian Lang's waist was suddenly sprained by his turn. He was reminiscing about the past before, but suddenly he turned to inviting the singer to sing.

"Brother Hong, you are not drunk, are you?"

"No, you can just call me Hongzai. I haven't been out much in the past few years because I feel that if I don't have any new works, wouldn't holding a concert just be a way to make money? Those older fans in Hong Kong have listened to my old songs countless times, and I'm not short of money, so..."

Bian Lang believed what he said. After learning about Zhang Yaohong's family background from Chu Xiwen, Bian Lang felt that he was making music now purely out of his interest.

"Let's record this first... I think when you sing the duet version, you two should sing out the longing for poverty!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yaohong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter until tears came out. Then he sang the lyrics that Bian Lang had given him during the day, "If you don't have the determination to stay with me for the rest of your life, please don't fall in love with someone like me..."

Then Wang Xianyu, who sat at the same table, naturally followed up: "In your dictionary, there is a phrase that can be dismissed, but it is still too much for me..."

Chu Xiwen listened and said to Liang Kuan beside him: "To be honest, if Bian Sheng had shown his creative ability a few years earlier, the Hong Kong music scene might not have declined to the point where it is now!"

Liang Kuan also said casually: "It's not too late now, just bring your people over. Yinghu doesn't have many businesses in Hong Kong now, you can apply for a studio here, and our cooperation can be closer..."

When Chu Xiwen heard the first half of the sentence, she suddenly became nervous. She had never thought about leaving Yinghu to work on her own. In the Hong Kong circle, Yinghu had the ability to really screw someone so hard that he could never get up again.

She is now one of the highest-ranking brokers in Yinghu, with the best options and resources. If word of this were accidentally passed back, all kinds of rumors would surely spread in the company.

Although her position would not be lost, dealing with these matters was not an easy task.

But after hearing the following words, she felt relieved: "For this, we need the help of the Rolling Stones. If the Rolling Stones' global tour can be finalized, I will be more confident when I discuss it with the higher-ups!" Liang Kuan raised his glass and clinked it with her, then said, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The two took another sip, and then saw Bian Lang and Zhang Yaohong walking arm in arm towards the small stage halfway up the mountain.

Although it has been incorporated into Rolling Stone LAB, the small label of Mid-Levels Coffee has been retained. Although all kinds of activities have been transferred to LAB, the small stage of the old Mid-Levels has been retained, and old musicians can still go up and play!

If others want to go up, they have to talk to the supervisor here, but Bian Lang doesn't need to do that. He can just go up and do it himself.

Old customers and musicians from the Rolling Stones came over and still liked to stay here to play. Now seeing Bian Lang half drunk coming over to go on stage, Liangzi immediately took out his phone and prepared to live broadcast.

Kong Liang also stood up, finished the wine in his glass, stretched, turned his wrist, and followed Bian Lang onto the small stage.

"What's the rule?"

"Let's make a pop song, and you can just follow along."

"Okay, then you go first..."

The simple exchange of three sentences made Taizi Hong feel as if he had returned to the millennium. In the past, several good musicians from Yinghu would often play like this in a familiar pub.

A glance, a few words of communication, and the birth of a new song may begin.

When the sound of the box guitar began to echo, Bian Lang pointed at Zhang Yaohong, who had been drinking a lot of wine for him, and said, "Prince Hong, you better listen carefully. I will only sing this song once. It depends on your ability to remember how much you can remember. Also, you will pay for all the drinks here!"

"Flat, flat!" Zhang Yaohong, who was also not very sober, made an OK gesture, took out his mobile phone and started filming the small stage.

Before Zhang Yaohong came, he went to have a drink with Xie Xinyan, and got to know Bian Lang's temper and habits quite well.

If you are discussing a serious business deal, even if he agrees, he may not fulfill his promise until someday when he remembers it.

But if you really get some inspiration while chatting happily, and Bian Lang is in a good mood, it is possible that he will write a song for you right away.

So just now, in addition to getting Bian Lang drunk, Zhang Yaohong also told him some heartfelt words, all about music and the reasons why he didn't want to continue singing in the past few years. As a result, Bian Lang really finished a glass and then pulled him over to the small stage.

Regardless of whether the song is suitable for him in the end, he will not refuse to eat this meal.

But as soon as Bian Lang opened his mouth for the first sentence, he seemed to be under a spell and sat on the ground, unable to move!
"I get drunk sometimes, and I love freedom... I often make mistakes and lie, but I always feel guilty... I have met many bad friends and learned to be greedy for new things and tired of the old ones. I have also owed many women..."

Then as I listened, tears began to fall naturally.

"Why do you still like me, a scoundrel like me... Are you stupid or great... Everyone here steps on me, no matter how bad my reputation is, you never mind..."

These were probably the only few sentences he could clearly understand, but it was enough for him to decide to take down the song.

Chu Xiwen, who had just followed, leaned against a pillar, shaking the wine glass in one hand, and sent a video he had just recorded to Zhang Yaohong's agent with the other hand, leaving a voice message: "This is a work produced by Bian Lang himself, don't be stingy with the money!!"

After a while, a string of exclamation marks came from the other side, followed by a voice message: "I will leave it to you to help Ah Hong to decide on a certain issue. Please thank Mr. Bian for us. I will fly over to prepare the banquet after I finish my work here..."

Inside Liangzi's live broadcast room, a group of rock fans thought they were going to see Bian Lang perform something big again, but no one expected it to be a pop song, and in Cantonese, and they suddenly felt it was not very interesting.

But some sharp-eyed people still recognized Zhang Yaohong in the audience, which caused a small sensation.

Finally, the word was passed around by netizens, and finally it became known that Bian Lang was about to enter the Hong Kong music scene!

Lin Fengjiao, who had returned empty-handed, was so angry when she saw the news that her breast nodules appeared. She also thought of the two people who were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han, which gave her a headache.

Lin Yaorong is okay, his earning ability is not very strong, mainly because as a member of the first generation of Hong Kong band, he has stronger connections and resources, and of course his business ability as a drummer is unquestionable. But if he really leaves, Fengniao will not feel it is a pity.

But Li Shiying is different. After several collaborations with Rolling Stone, she has also shown signs of becoming popular in the mainland market. She has good resources for various programs and variety shows. She is a hen that lays golden eggs. If she is let go at this time, they will definitely cry to death.

At this moment, all she can do is to use the usual methods of Hong Kong companies, threats and bans.

……

Just when the Rolling Stones were busy preparing for the last live recording of Summer of Le, something unpleasant happened that made Qiu Luo unsure of how to explain to Bian Lang.

Cohen, who had been fine and had nothing unusual, suddenly disappeared inexplicably. DGM couldn't contact anyone, including his agent Logan. In the end, the Rolling Stones had to call the police directly. Uncle Hat checked the hotel's surveillance and found that this guy and his agent finally boarded a flight to Shanghai. With the cooperation of Shanghai, they found that the two had already flown to the United States!
Bian Lang didn't think it was a big deal, the worst that could happen was just a change of players.

But DGM was in an uproar. After receiving the feedback from the Rolling Stones, Walker flew directly to the United States immediately.

Six hours after landing, before he even found anyone, he received a call from the company: "Walker, we need you to go to CAA headquarters. Cohen has signed a contract there. Go and sign the termination agreement and collect the liquidated damages."

After hearing this, Walker stood on the street in New York for a minute before forcing himself to accept this fact.

It is not worthy of the company to treat Cohen, a little-known character in the company, like him, even if he ran to outer space, and they specially sent him, who was about to become the president of the branch, to find him. But there was no other way. They had to give an explanation to the Rolling Stones no matter what, so that the future cooperation between the two sides could continue smoothly.

But in the current situation, he didn't know how to explain this to Bian Lang.
