Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 845 What is this for?

As for whether the singing is good or not, and how the live effect will be, Du Yunxi doesn't have to worry about it at all. As one of the conditions for cooperation, Magic Disc will naturally help to solve these technical problems. Although lip syncing is shameful for the band, it doesn't mean that they will definitely not use this method.

After listening to Du Yunxi's cover demo and figuring out their specific purpose, Zhu Wen directly gave a brilliant suggestion: "Yunxi's voice is quite explosive. If you want to cover it, you can try "Shame". This song has a wide audience and I believe it will give fans a surprise."

As for copyright authorization, Zhu Wen would not take the initiative to ask about it, and Du Yunxi's agent certainly wouldn't ask about it either. In this case, it was assumed that the music festival organizing committee would handle the copyright, and the key point was that such things had never been heard of at the music festival.

Only variety shows often do this kind of thing of acting first and reporting later. It turns out that Mango TV and Blue Channel are "habitual offenders" of doing this, and for a period of time they focused on folk musicians who were so niche that they were almost forgotten at the time.

Brother B chose to fight to the end, and ended up being scolded by all kinds of fans. Saying things like "I'll give you the face to sing your song..." Brother B was so angry that he went to Matang to find Fatty Song and drank for many days before he calmed down.

So later on, when it came to Fatty Song, Da Bing and Er Bai, they even wrote “thank you letters”!
However, after thinking for a while, Du Yunxi's agent actually asked a question that Zhu Wen didn't dare to think about: "Is there any special niche song over there? Our Yunxi can help spread it and expand its influence."

"I told you, 'It's Time to Slip', do you dare to sing it?" Zhu Wen thought to himself, but he said, "Let me think about it, and I'll give you some news today."

"Then please help arrange the accompanying band, Mr. Zhu!"

"rest assured!"

Zhu Wen wanted to re-employ Li Yiliang and form an "Avengers Alliance", but after thinking about Li Yiliang's luck and fighting ability, he finally decided to give up.

Zhu Wen knew that Du Yunxi's visit would not have any substantial impact on Rolling Stone, and at most it would disgust Bian Lang. If Du Yunxi's fans were more powerful, they could get their idol one or two hot searches like "Wang Po selling melons".

As for taking advantage of the Rolling Stones, forget it! Bian Lang is not someone who can swallow his anger, and he is very willing to do it.

Because of the recent cases of Rolling Stone, Jinlun is said to be preparing to acquire Zhang Fan's law firm as their branch in Chuncheng. Even if it is not as famous as "Nanshan Pizza Hut", I believe it will be "Wuhua Unbreakable Pine" sooner or later! (Rolling Stone is located in Chuncheng Wuhua District)

As for forcing the Rolling Stones to give in and let Du Yunxi perform at the Rolling Stones Music Festival, Zhu Wen might have thought it was a possibility in the past, but now he would never dream of such a thing! The Rolling Stones used to have the ability to organize music independently, it was just a matter of how much money they could make.

Now you are using a sponsor and a portion of the box office to force the Rolling Stones to change the rules, how can the Rolling Stones accept that? Fight to the end, at worst you can do it yourself!
What's more, the current Rolling Stones are no longer the era of Bian Lang, Pan Jianhu and Chen Shuting. Liang Kuan's connections and resources in the entire entertainment industry are so strong that any large entertainment company would salivate.

When it comes to box office appeal, Du Yunxi does have some capital.

The festival itself was designed to attract 1000 people, and despite all the media and local government publicity, less than tickets were sold. Magic Disc has no burden, as they won't lose a dime even if they don't sell any tickets for this kind of festival, as the cost is already covered by the government.

But who would mind if they could sell more?
As soon as Du Yunxi's fan-only purchasing channel was opened, his fans directly contributed to sales of over 10 units within 4000 minutes.

According to his fans, "It's totally worth it to spend more than 200 yuan to see Brother Yunxi!"

The little witch originally had an attitude of not going to this music festival. The focus of her video content now, in addition to "Summer of the Band", is the Rolling Stones' tour. According to the arrangement made by the Rolling Stones, she will go to Berlin to attend the last show.

But when she saw the news come out, she immediately smelled a conspiracy because she knew a little bit of the inside story.

Chen Shuting, the top female star on the list, was abroad, so it was difficult for her to judge, so she told Liang Kuan about this. Liang Kuan thought about it and contacted the little witch directly: "Go, the expenses will be reimbursed by the Rolling Stones. Also, see if you can invite a few more rock fans to go with you, or interview a few rock fans after the performance..."

The little witch is now a very mature blogger in business. When Liang Kuan said this, she understood what he meant: "I understand, Sister Kuan. I have my own way to do this. You just wait for the results!"

In my opinion, this trip is a real experience sharing, there is no need for any guided interviews, let alone shooting scripts. There is no need to summon your own people to go with you...

As a rock lover, the biggest name in Magic City is still the biggest band in this lineup of Magic Disc, but there are several independent bands that are actually quite good. She is now running around various music festivals, which is a bit like helping Chen Shuting find hidden gems.

After all, not all bands with potential want to find a big shot like Bian Lang to lean on. Lao Pan doesn’t have as much time as before to run around and see bands…

However, before she was about to leave, she received news that someone from the Rolling Stones would be traveling with her.

"Witch, Zhu Wei is going too. You two can make an appointment and see where you meet. We can help you book a room here!" The little witch thought that the venue was in a county-level city near Tianjin, so there was no need to book it so early. She could just pick a homestay or something when the time came. She could also use her boyfriend's travel blogger account to get an exchange.

"No need, Sister Kuan, just make arrangements for Zhu Wei, I'll contact her later."

But when she was about to contact Zhu Wei in the evening, she found out that not only was there no B&B, but even the plane tickets and high-speed rail tickets to get there a day in advance were all sold out!

"This Du Yunxi fan base is really good. Are they going to bring this small town to a standstill?"

As soon as the little witch finished speaking, her boyfriend Zheng Fengxiang sneered and said, "I have a feeling that this music festival may become a brand new model in the history of our Chinese Music Festival!"

"Tell me carefully!"

"I just checked the data from Du Yunxi's official website. There are more than 9800 tickets. Can there be 1000 fans in this city? I think that's too much! That means at least 9000 people will go to this place from other places. Judging from the fact that there have never been many tourism-related resources here before, these 9000 people can directly blow up the tourism reception capacity of this city...

Hotels, restaurants, and public transportation are likely to be completely paralyzed on that day, so we should call Zhu Wei to discuss it and make preparations early. Otherwise, we might die of exhaustion on the road..."

The first thing Zhu Wei said when she received the call from the little witch was: "Witch, have you decided where to live?"

"No, what about you? Didn't the company help you with it?"

"Well, since I heard that you didn't need it, I thought about asking you out later, but now it's all over, nothing can be decided..."

"Well, it seems that we underestimated the influence of that young hunk. Lao Zheng and I just discussed that we will meet in BJ and rent a motorhome to drive there a day in advance... You and I will sleep on the bed, and Lao Zheng will take care of him in the driver's seat for one night..." Hearing the arrangement made by the little witch, Zhu Wei was not so worldly-wise as to say: "Okay, then Lao Zheng will have to work hard!"

The call was made on speakerphone. Upon hearing this, Lao Zheng answered directly: "It's okay. Compared with the conditions I used to have in the wild to take pictures of the stars, this treatment is considered five-star. It's settled then. I'll ask someone to contact the RV..."

"Okay, but I'll find a way to deal with the RV. There are so many veteran BJ musicians in the company. I remember someone who..."

Although Zhu Wei didn't remember where he heard it from, he was not wrong. Kong Liang did have an RV. He drove it to Chuncheng and rented it to a RV club in BJ to collect rent. Zhu Wei and his friends wanted to use it, so he agreed directly:

"Okay, I'll call them and make the arrangements. You can just pick it up when the time comes. By the way, I have an Indian Chief in BJ that can be tied to the RV. You can help me take it out for a stroll, and then help me find a trailer to tow it over!"

Zhu Wei also rides a motorcycle, so when she heard this request, she asked tentatively, "How about I ride it back for you?"

"Yeah, you ride a motorcycle too!" After saying this, Kong Liang pondered for a moment and said, "But you should think about this yourself. You're a girl riding thousands of kilometers, and it's all about safety. By the way, why did you go to that crappy music festival?"

"We'll talk about the car later. Anyway, I'm telling you in advance! Sister Kuan asked me to go and see if there's a suitable independent band..."

"Oh, that's true... Go ahead, be careful on the road..."

……

When the three of them gathered at BJ and drove to the music festival venue, the Rolling Stones were also preparing to leave for Barcelona. While waiting at the airport, Chen Shuting told Bian Lang about this matter, and Bian Lang frowned and shook his head: "Isn't this completely nonsense?"

Chen Shuting's opinion is quite neutral: "They are not like us Rolling Stones who want to build a label effect. If they only pursue traffic and revenue, then this method is really good. The needs of all parties are met. Maybe the only ones who are not happy are the rock fans!"

At the time of his trip, Bian Lang had never experienced such a mixed music festival lineup, but based on common sense, he felt that there were a lot of problems.

But what Chen Shuting said also makes sense. As long as the cost of such a small music festival can be covered, this operation is indeed the most effective. However, this has nothing to do with the Rolling Stones. Even for the Blueberry Music Festival, the Rolling Stones absolutely put musicality first.

Speaking of the Blueberry Music Festival, the National Day schedule has also been confirmed, and the venue is Shanghai, but the lineup information has not yet been made public. However, according to online predictions, the Rolling Stones will most likely not participate, but Bian Lang is likely to take over as the lead singer of Hedgehog and Xia Yuxi.

"That's true. It didn't mention a special rock music festival. So should our Rolling Stones label add a Rolling Stones Rock Music Festival?"

Hearing Bian Lang's angry words, Chen Shuting smiled and said, "Whatever you say, I'll send a message to Tiger Master in a moment."

When the plane took off, the little witch and her friends heard from the navigation that they were only 2 kilometers away from the highway, but when they looked up, they saw that the highway had become a parking lot. The three of them were shocked and felt that driving the RV here was an extremely wise decision.

After waiting for about 20 minutes without any movement, Zheng Fengxiang said, "Witch, why don't you put down the motorcycle and let Zhu Wei take you down first to see what the situation is. You can also take some footage first. I'll put down the drone and see how far the traffic jam is..."

The little witch thought about it and nodded, "Alright, then I'll go down with Zhu Wei first, and I'll call you if there's anything!"

After saying that, Zheng Fengxiang and Zhu Wei took the Indian chief off the trailer. After adjusting the gimbal for the little witch, the two women slowly moved forward along the emergency lane that was already half occupied.

Several male drivers who were still waiting nearby saw this and cursed the national quintessence while getting out of their cars to greet Zheng Fengxiang with cigarettes: "Brother, you are here for the music festival too, right? You brought two girls with you, what a talent!"

Zheng Fengxiang took the cigarette and lit it before replying, "Yes, but we are in the self-media business, so we have to work while having fun!"

Speaking of this, the male driver stroked his chin and thought for a while, then he suddenly realized: "Is that the little witch who just went down and raised the camera?"

"Yes, I'm his boyfriend. The woman riding the bike is Zhu Wei, the bassist of the Shanlan band..."

"Oh oh oh! Hey, brother, I was just joking just now, please don't take it seriously!"

Zheng Fengxiang smiled indifferently, then changed the subject and said, "Brother, you guys booked the hotel a long time ago, right?"

"Well, if you want to talk about this, then I have to talk to you. I came here on a business trip last year. The best hotel was probably three-star standard, and it was only 120..."

Feeling that this material would be useful, Zheng Fengxiang quickly interrupted: "Brother, do you mind if I record a song as material?"

"Mind? Of course you should mind. You should make me look handsome in the photo. You can't embarrass yourself in front of rock fans all over the country..." After saying that, the driver took a few deep puffs of his cigarette, crushed the butt, and then signaled Zheng Fengxiang that he could start taking pictures.

The content really did not surprise Zheng Fengxiang at all, it was all complaining about Du Yunxi's fans.

"I originally booked a room for more than 200 yuan. Within 20 minutes of placing the order on the APP, the hotel called and said that there was a problem with their system and the room was sold out, so I had to cancel the order. We are grown men, so we didn't think much about it and directly canceled the order. Not long after that, when my girlfriend checked again, the hotel room was available again, for more than 1000 yuan..."

"And look at this, it looks like a parking lot. I don't believe you if you say that everyone here listens to rock music!"

Zheng Fengxiang had just finished recording when the little witch called: "Old Zheng, have you flown the drone? How far is the traffic jam behind you?"

"No, after you left...what happened down there?"

"The music festival venue is not far from here, and everyone is looking for a place to park. Isn't this a traffic jam? What do you want to eat later? We'll buy it and bring it to you..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard another voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Miss, are you here specifically to take pictures of Yunxi? Can you give me a V? I want the high-definition raw pictures..."
