Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 841 Watch the Concert Video Together

Guo Sichu attended an event last night and boarded a plane back to Chuncheng in the early morning. He was still half asleep on the sofa in his apartment.

Hearing Liang Kuan's happy words, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked softly, "What's up? Bian Lang's official video is out? How is it? Is it great?"

Seeing her drunken look with eyes still unable to open, Liang Kuan patted her head and said, "Sleep a little longer, the effect is very good."

Seeing Guo Sichu humming twice like in a dream and then falling asleep again, she went to the balcony, closed the floor-to-ceiling window, and started calling contacts to find a way out.

With the current popularity of the Rolling Stones Music Festival, it would not be difficult to find a main sponsor to take over. Moreover, based on his understanding of Bian Lang, if something like this happened, even if the festival lost money, he would pay out of his own pocket to make up for the loss, and he would definitely ensure the purity of the rock and roll bloodline of the Rolling Stones Music Festival.

Even if this hadn't happened, the Rolling Stones would have been easily controlled by a financial sponsor who couldn't decide their life or death, and their future would have only gotten worse.

She had just made her first call when the female CEO of the event company across the street asked, "Sister Kuan, I was just about to send a WeChat message to ask about something when your call came."

Hearing this, Liang Kuan did not rush to get down to business: "What is it? Is it about Chu Chu or the Rolling Stones?"

"I have an event next month and I want to invite Du Yunxi to attend. Since the main guest is King Liu, Du Yunxi doesn't need to do anything, just show up. Aoyin said that it would be OK to ask the sponsor to provide reception. But yesterday afternoon, he told me that the schedule is a bit tight, so I also need to find a backup."

Hearing this, the old man Liang Kuan asked directly: "It's hard to ask for money? How much do they want?"

"I knew that Sister Kuan was the most thorough in this matter. I was thinking that if the number was less than 10, I would pay for it myself and report it to the sponsor so that they would think well of me. After all, we have been cooperating for five or six years and I have made a lot of money from them. But Aoyin asked for 35 and said that he could sing a song on the spot. Isn't this crazy?"

Upon hearing this offer, Liang Kuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This kind of situation is just showing the face, even if there is no connection in the circle to help make connections, the sponsor will pay for the reception at the market price, and Du Yunxi wants to take advantage of King Liu's popularity. This situation is like Guo Sichu going to support someone, and the sponsor wants to find a young traffic star to attract attention. As long as the schedule of the traffic singers does not conflict with their own endorsements, how can they charge fees?

For this kind of unpaid work, it is normal that the person behind you cannot come because of a conflict in schedule with a profitable work. But this kind of thing of asking for money for adding more scenes, and asking for 35 at the first sight, is something that even an old veteran like Liang Kuan has never heard of before.

However, combined with what Pan Jianhu just said, Liang Kuan felt relieved after thinking about it: "Did Aoyin say that Du Yunxi was going to participate in the Rolling Stone Music Festival and make his debut as a singer?"

"Yes, Sister Kuan, I just want to ask if this is true. But even if it is true, I don't plan to cooperate. I can't afford 35 of them, and it will leave a bad impression on the sponsor if I tell him. I can just negotiate for a replacement."

"Haha," Liang Kuan chuckled, and then continued, "Aoyin did express this intention to the Rolling Stones through the brand he endorses, but we can't agree to it. Letting someone who hasn't even figured out the role to perform at a rock music festival, and to be the main attraction on the last day, who would give them such a big face.

Du Yunxi's team wants to take advantage of the popularity of the Rolling Stones Music Festival, so let them see if they can handle it. The Rolling Stones' performance in England was very successful, and the official video will be online before noon, so wait and see! "

After saying this, Liang Kuan paused before continuing, "That beverage company has threatened to breach the contract. Do you have a suitable one? If so, we can talk about it first. It is the main sponsor of the beverages for the Rolling Stone Music Festival."

"Ah!? Isn't this a coincidence? The event that King Liu is supporting is held at the Coco Tree in Hainan Province, the one I've been drinking from since I was a child. Sister Kuan, if you are sure, I will go and discuss it with them right away..."

"I am sure about the matter. It depends on whether they are willing to stick to it. You can go and have a chat about it first. Let's not talk about anything else. You need guests to attend your event, right? Can the four kids from Liu Xiaokui's studio be there? If they are, I can arrange it for you, as long as there is no conflict in their schedules."

Yang Qian on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then immediately responded affirmatively: "Okay, I'll send the time and content to Sister Kuan first. I'll go and talk about the sponsorship of the music festival first..."

After hanging up the phone, she thought for a while before she said to herself, "Is there something wrong with this sparkling water seller? The Rolling Stones have a ruthless person like Liang Kuan, yet they dare to force the palace like this, not to mention the stubborn temper of Bian Lang..."

After thinking about it, she sent a message directly and prepared to make an appointment for a meeting with the person in charge of Coco Tree.

In her opinion, there will be no room for easing the tension once Liang Kuan takes action, and he will definitely fight to the end!
As long as Rolling Stone dares to expose this matter, Sparkling Water will definitely fight to the end. After all, for a company's image, plus Du Yunxi's small fan base, fighting to the end may not necessarily be beneficial, but giving in is definitely a lose-lose situation!

So while the Rolling Stones officials released the behind-the-scenes footage of the band's performance in London, they also directly promoted the Rolling Stones Music Festival: "See you in Haikou in October, at the Rolling Stones Music Festival!" They were also particularly thoughtful and posted a lineup poster with only the Rolling Stones as the main act on the last day.

The only enthusiasm of the fans for this almost certain thing was to urge them to sell the tickets quickly.

Only Bubble Water and Du Yunxi's team could see clearly that the Rolling Stones were just expressing their attitude to them. However, they were also able to keep their composure and resisted the urge to go to Pan Jianhu to continue the conversation.

In Du Yunxi's studio at Aoyin Entertainment, Du Yunxi's main agent looked at the news and sneered, "Music festivals have been relying on traffic for the past few years, but the Rolling Stones are the only ones that don't have any. It sounds great, but I think they are just holding on.

As long as the bands and songs are saturated, even the Rolling Stones will have to follow the old path of other music festivals. Sparkling Water has connections with the local authorities, so they can ask someone to report it. I wonder if the Rolling Stones still want to hold this music festival?"

Although this method is crude, it is very effective. Find two big names with scary reputations and bring up the issue of cultural invasion. The competent authorities would rather not do anything than cause trouble.

Anyway, no matter how much manpower, material and financial resources were invested in the early stage, the losses are the organizer's business and have nothing to do with the competent authority.

“There’s no need to offend the Rolling Stones like this, right? I think those who offended Bian Lang before didn’t get any good results…” Du Yunxi himself still had some concerns, but since his debut till now, everything has been arranged by the company, so the probability of his suggestions being adopted is almost zero!

"Are you talking about Xie Minzhi and Liu Xingwu? They are both going to be in the music industry for a long time and are in direct competition with Bian Lang, so they are afraid! You are just a fresh-faced guy who relies on your looks to gain fans. Your purpose in entering the music industry is to gain fans quickly and make as much money as you can while you are still popular. The company cannot predict how long you will be popular, and whether you can successfully transform when you get older.

So you don't have to worry about the consequences of offending Bian Lang. We are not in the same field, and we don't make the same money. After this wave, we will not have any intersection with the Rolling Stones. Don't worry, they will compromise in the end. No matter how hard the bones of rock players are, they have to bow their heads in the face of reality! "Du Yunxi's agent is certainly not naive enough to think that he can control the Rolling Stones with this means. He has a plan that he thinks the Rolling Stones cannot refuse.

After hearing Yang Qian's news, the person in charge of Coconut Tree put on an expression that said, "I don't understand, don't lie to me," and asked, "Sparkling Water can't do that, right? Rolling Stone wouldn't be so serious about a traffic puppy, right?"

"Mr. Qi, what is a traffic puppy? It seems that you are also an expert. Just tell me, if this is successful, would Coco Tree be willing to be the main sponsor?" Although Yang Qian was 100% sure, it was impossible for her to say something so absolutely at this time.

"Then I'll be honest with you. Haikou is our base camp. If this can be accomplished as soon as possible, our marketing team will definitely cooperate with us. Without saying too much, in addition to the sponsorship, we will also pay for 5000 tickets for marketing purposes... If the Rolling Stones are willing, we can also pay for the endorsement fee!"

Coconut Tree's idea was very simple. Since it was held in Haikou, they, as a leading local enterprise, were the first choice. Although there would not be a shortage of tourists anywhere during the National Day holiday, Hainan Province, a major tourist province, could receive a huge number of tourists, so it would be no problem to receive more than 100,000 people in two days.

Previously, due to information asymmetry, beverage companies from other places got there first. Now that they have the opportunity, how could they not take advantage of it!

Faced with such a wealthy sponsor, Yang Qian didn't even have the courage to mention that his aesthetic taste was not good. But he really didn't dare to respond to the last sentence: "Then should I give you a case first, and then you wait for my good news?"

"If Bian Lang can write a song for us, he can set any price!"

After hearing this, Yang Qian recalled the style of Coco Tree in her mind and could only cheer herself up in her heart!
"Okay, Mr. Qi, I will definitely convey your message and do my best to facilitate it."

Yang Qian saw off Mr. Qi from Coco Tree and planned to go back to the coffee shop to rest for a while, browse Little Red Potato to change her mind before going back to the company. Just then, she saw the news that the official video of Rolling Stone had officially appeared on the small broken station.

After refilling her cup of coffee and connecting to WIFI, Yang Qian found her headphones and put them on, then she clicked on the special video on the website and started watching it.

After looking at the progress bar of more than 4 hours, she couldn't help but swear: "Damn, can't this be divided into two parts? If someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder sees this video at the airport, won't they miss their flight?"

The situation Yang Qian described did not occur, but there really were rock fans who, after seeing this progress bar, directly called their friends to form a team and went to discuss with the owners of local bars that had live performances.

As for the music fans in Chuncheng, there is no need to go through so much trouble. Rolling Stone LAB and Sigu Chuncheng store have set up the venue directly, and you can 100% meet various knowledgeable people in these two places who will explain to you the things you don’t understand.

The start time at Rolling Stone LAB was 7:7, but it was already packed around . I don’t know who came up with the idea, but a huge poster was hung at the entrance of LAB: “No alcohol for spoilers! Report and get gifts!”

If it were released somewhere else, no one would care, but at the Rolling Stones, no one dared to try.

After all, he is a tough guy who dares to post the whistleblower's photo with a blurred picture at the door. Any waiter inside can tell you the gossip stories about Bian Lang...

Zhu Yan suppressed his curiosity and didn't watch it during working hours today. After finishing his work, he pulled Hong Ke over.

On the way here, Hong Ke discussed with Zhu Yan about doing a special feature on Rolling Stone. They thought about going there early tonight so that they could record some material when there were fewer people. But when they got to the LAB, they realized that they were thinking too much.

Not to mention finding a relatively quiet place for the interview, if we hadn’t informed them in advance, they might not even have a place to sit.

This was the first time that Lao Tan organized such an event, so he didn't know how deep it would be, and he never expected to attract so many people. Even though the place was full, people kept coming to the bar with money to drink directly from the bar.

"Does this feel like the feeling of showing movies in the village when we were kids?"

Old Tan didn't get any response when he asked this. He looked around and realized that the people standing next to him were either young and had never experienced this, or they said, "I live inside the Second Ring Road."

Finally, Liangzi said, "Why don't we book a movie theater next time? That would be really cool!"

"The sound system is definitely not as good as the one here, but it sounds awesome. I think I can give it a try."

"Yeah, people still go to the cinema to play games, so it should be okay for us to watch a concert video, right?"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Lao Pan thinks this may be worth a try in the future. If there are conditions for live broadcast, it is not impossible to organize a small group of fans to book a venue.

Not to mention going to the cinema to watch live broadcasts, even watching performance videos in the LAB is a new thing for many music fans.

While looking forward to the Rolling Stones' performance, I am also looking forward to whether there will be some different surprises at the LAB scene.

As soon as Exodus' opening song came on, fans familiar with the band noticed the band's improvement: "It's really different after going abroad! I think they are in better shape than when they were in Summer of the Band!"

“You can’t say that this is the case just because they went abroad. After all, it’s been a while since Summer of the Band, and they are still growing!”

Generally speaking, the fans' reactions to Exodus' warm-up were quite normal, except for a few who had obviously watched the show during the day and were trying hard not to spoil the show. Their faces showed that they must be feeling very uncomfortable.

It wasn't until the vocal-less version of "Wish You Were Here" was almost halfway through that the fans, seeing the stunned expressions on most people's faces, took out their phones and started capturing all kinds of emojis. They also wanted to see what their own expressions were like a few hours ago!
