Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 864: Not Returning Home in Wealth is Like Walking in the Night in Brocade Clothes

The dense drum beats continued, and Bian Lang stopped singing and began to shake his heads with the fans, as if he didn't want the song to end.

Shinston looked at the scene and said with a smile: "You must keep these video materials. They will be useful when Bian Lang is old and shoots a documentary!"

Kyle looked at Hingston in surprise after hearing this and asked, "Are you really that sure?"

"As long as they can have a higher-level world tour within three years, even if they disband the band, it will be a legend! Even if I, the music director, can see it, there is no reason why you, who is in charge of business at DGM, can't see it, right?"

"What you said makes me want to be the Rolling Stones' manager..."

"Forget it. The man who could write "Free Bird" is not suitable to be your partner."

Kyle smiled noncommittally and continued to enjoy the scene.

The last song of the official performance was "All Good Things Must End", which had a good meaning, but the foreigners' response was mediocre as they didn't understand it.

Bian Lang knew that this attempt had failed.

However, when it came to the encore, the fans actually summoned out "Yellow".

Chris, the original singer at the scene, was so excited that he was as happy as a 120-pound child: "Look, the Rolling Stones are singing "Yellow", it's so wonderful! Incredible..."

His colleagues felt that he was just a student showing off to his teacher.

In fact, Chris had achieved very good results in Europe in the past few months since he came back from China with Yellow. So when he was drinking and bragging with his colleagues, Wave was the person he talked about most, as well as his experiences in China.

Later on, everyone got tired of hearing this and thought that what he said was a bit exaggerated. But after watching the Rolling Stones live today, they all felt that what Chris said was not true.

They thought this might be because Chris didn't know Bian Lang well enough when he was in China...

Although this was the first time that the Rolling Stones sang this song in a concert, because of Coldplay, this time there was a real chorus of tens of thousands of people in the venue.

Bian Lang really enjoyed this feeling. The cameraman from China who was in charge of filming was already feeling emotional. This would be big news once the news was reported back to China.

If one day there could be a Chinese song that could create such a scene abroad, then the flower-growing countries would probably have unified the planet!
There was still a celebratory cocktail party this time, and Adams still paid for it out of his own pocket, but Bian Lang couldn't slip away.

However, Bian Lang had a very good chat with Xinston, a new acquaintance of his who works in film and television music.

Because he remembered a movie, which should be "Pirate Radio" that most of the rock fans on the original Earth have seen. Of course, there is also "Crazy Heart", but for that one, he needs to go to North America to find the director and team.

Bian Lang was determined to find someone to shoot this film. He had previously considered director Geng Rong, but later Bian Lang felt that it was not appropriate for such a good martial arts film director to shoot this kind of film, so he wanted to get to know this person.

After listening to Bian Lang's brief talk, Hingston was silent for about half a minute before saying, "If anyone says in front of me that you used other screenwriters' names to write V for Vendetta, I will make him a clown in the industry."

Bian Lang didn't care about this at all, and even joked: "Maybe I should come up with an English pen name, so that people won't say that!"

Hingston was stunned, and smiled and responded: "That's a good idea, so have you thought of a pen name?"

Bian Lang joked: "Alan Moore!"

"Hahaha...it's really just an ordinary pen name..."

"Then if you have a suitable director to recommend, I think we can meet and talk this time if we have the chance!"

Xinston didn't understand why Bian Lang was so straightforward and urgent, but he personally liked this style of doing things.

"If I understand correctly, Wave, you mean that you can provide the script and the funds, and you only need a director and a filming team, right?"

Bian Lang nodded and said, "Yes, and of course all the music!"

Hingston was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed and said, "Of course, but I think you need an assistant or executor."

Bian Lang didn't hesitate and directly extended his hand and said: "I hope you won't think this job is too tiring by then!"

"I like challenging things!" Xinston agreed very readily.

But he never expected that it would take him a full year and a half to complete the soundtrack of this movie with the full cooperation of DGM.

But when the movie was released, he proudly said: "I think the best choice in my life so far is to attend the Rolling Stones' special show in Barcelona and accept the invitation of Wave!"

If this drama is really filmed, Bian Lang certainly won't have time to take care of all these things, and he must find a tool to help him complete the music part.

After all, there are 37 original songs in the movie soundtrack, and the original steps are just selecting songs and purchasing copyrights.

But for Shuilanxing, although the above two steps do not exist, these 37 songs have to go through all the processes from singer selection, rehearsal to recording.

According to Bian Lang's guess, if it is really confirmed, it is very likely that the movie has been finished, but the songs have not been recorded yet. Because Bian Lang, who has carefully studied this movie, knows that the total shooting time of this movie is only 90 days.

It would be an impossible task to record these 37 songs in three months, even if it was for Bian Lang to sing himself!
Hingston did not disappoint Bian Lang. When the Rolling Stones set out for their next stop, Wales, he sent Bian Lang an accurate message: "I will be waiting for you in Wales with the director!"

Wales was added later. Between Lisbon and Wales, Chen Shuting chose Wales without hesitation. When Evelyn tried to explain it to her, Chen Shuting said directly: "We Chinese have an old saying, if you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes. Strauss is also an important member of the Rolling Stones, so choosing Wales will be the common choice of all the Rolling Stones."

In fact, no matter who you ask from the Rolling Stones, everyone will tell you to choose Wales without hesitation. Strauss didn't say anything on the surface, but she had already thought of how to express her gratitude to her teammates.

Although the Magnet Band had disbanded, when the original band members heard that Strauss and the Rolling Stones were back on tour together, they all spread the word.

The ticket sales capacity has been expanded to 2.5 people, but it still fails to satisfy music fans.

Among them, at least 3,000 people are old fans of the Magnet Band. Even if they don't go for the Rolling Stones, they will come for Strauss!
The warm-up band changed from Exodus to Dafeng Band, and the guest was also changed to Panama, but Exodus and Hatter still came to watch the performance.

The venue was the same one where Hatter performed last year. When Phimos revisited the old place, he said to Ivo: "It was here that the Rolling Stones met Strauss last year..."

Seeing his expression of showing off, Yiwo smiled and said, "What does that have to do with you?"

"That's because Magnet was our opening band at the time..."

Seeing how Firmos was arguing, Ivo didn't want to tease him anymore. Instead, he asked a serious question: "Why didn't I hear any news from the music department? Is it because the Rolling Stones' music is not up to standard, or is it because your DGM public relations are not in place?"

Speaking of this, Feimos was full of anger: "They said that the Rolling Stones have released too few English songs officially, and that Dili and Strauss are not like other guitarists, with a lot of video materials, so they think they need to wait a little longer!"

"What are you waiting for? Aren't they going to include that song? Or is it that the base number is not enough?"

"The base number is definitely enough, but they said that in the previous calculation rules, the global influence project did not include any data from China. However, in the Rolling Stones' base number, the data from China accounts for a high proportion, which is unfair to other bands..."

To be honest, later on, Phimos realized that there was really nothing wrong with this excuse, but he still felt that something was wrong.

Ivo bowed his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I really hope I can do something to help the Rolling Stones, but I think given the arrogance of Music, they will not care about how markets outside of Europe view them."

Of course, Feimos also knew what Ivo meant, that is, if this kind of thing were to be exposed in China, it would definitely cause many domestic music fans to denounce Music, but they didn't care at all.

What the two of them had not considered was that if this matter were to spread back to China, then those people in the country who disliked the Rolling Stones would have room for trouble.

"However, this situation won't last long. After the Rolling Stones have finished their round, if Music still doesn't respond, I fully believe that fans will go to the door of their company and throw rotten eggs!"

Speaking of this, Yivo gave Femos a sly look, and then the two of them smiled knowingly, and then they went backstage to find Bian Lang, arm in arm.

At this time, in the tent where the band was resting backstage, Tang Dafeng was looking at the apology letter from Du Yunxi sent from China, and he felt so relieved!
"I really don't know if these young hunks have shit in their brains. They just took advantage of the situation once and didn't bother with Bian Lang. Who would want to bother with a clown like him? Now the three music festival organizing committees have to apologize, and he has to slap himself in the face. It's really..."

Green Algae, who was doing the nails of Dafeng's guitarist, also laughed and said, "If it was last year, we might have just sighed and swallowed it for the sake of the performance fee. Thanks to Brother Lang and the Rolling Stones, we have become really tough!"

What Green Algae said is not only the idea of ​​the Rolling Stones members, but also the idea of ​​all the bands participating in the boycott movement.

Even if you are not a participant of China Rock 29, nor a participating band in "Summer of the Band", or even have never participated in the Rolling Stone and Blueberry music festivals, you should thank the Rolling Stone for making the rock scene bigger again!

Let everyone be able to support themselves through music and live a better life with material enjoyment...

Take Original Earth as an example. Although there was no person like Bian Lang, the success of "Summer of the Band" did reactivate the market for rock music and music festivals.

Take Pants for example. Before they won the first season of "Summer of the Band", Bian Lang remembered that Shen Lihui had teased them that their current ability to bring in tickets was not as good as that of Ma Youye and his group of folk singers.

You can easily imagine how much the performance fee is.

But after "Summer of the Band", Pants, one of the bands that benefited the most from the show, had its peak festival quotations reach 200W, while Miserable Faith and Wan Qing were 120W at the same time.

There was also Jiulian Zhenren, who had no presence at all before. After "Summer of the Band" became popular, the offer directly reached 80. That was the offer for commercial performances before the show was finished...

Time goes back to the second day after the live performance in Barcelona. The small broken station immediately made a quick cut for the fans to use.

As a result, facing the crazy fans who have lost their reason and logic, the rock fans are naturally the weaker side. But after the three music festival organizers contacted the Rolling Stones and did not get any guarantee from Lao Pan, they really panicked.

Because everyone knows that their statement is worthless and no one will believe it. Not only is it almost zero cost, it is not as sincere as others offering temporary workers.

If it's a newly-launched music festival, then just cancel it. There's no need to think too much about something that can be resolved by saying it's force majeure.

However, these three labels have been in business for three or four years in a row. Even if they don’t make money at the box office, they can still rely on their influence to attract various subsidies and sponsorships from the venues.

If they go wrong this time, their losses will be more than just a music festival.

Moreover, they had previously thought about following the example of Penguin and calling on other labels and performance companies to boycott these bands, but after asking a few colleagues, they all said that they were crazy.

Only Xi Mangmang said a few more words: "If you want to continue with this label in the future, you should apologize to the Rolling Stones privately and apologize to the fans publicly. Maybe there is still room for redemption.

Even if we can unite and boycott, what's the point? The Rolling Stones can ask Blueberry to replace any of you in a minute, and then set up a Niulanshan label. Do you think it's difficult for them?
The Rolling Stones are not Magic Discs, nor are they any of those other entertainment companies. On the one hand, they are not short of money, and on the other hand, they can almost represent the entire Chinese rock scene!"

This insightful analysis made the heads of these three companies apologize to the fans on the same day, and then fly directly to Chuncheng to find Lao Pan in person.

As for Du Yunxi, he had deleted the Weibo post showing off his contract a long time ago. After sacrificing an assistant and restraining his fans, he also publicly apologized to the rock music fans...
