Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 866 Ole ole ole ole
Huang Kai didn't seem to realize the deep meaning behind Bian Lang's tone, and continued to explain: "You want her to be the lead singer, so I think you might not want to arrange for her to go to the Magic City."

"I don't care about so many things. Let them discuss it themselves when they arrive. But it's easier to find a bassist than a lead singer, right?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Kai became angry: "Bian Lang, if you speak nicely, we can still be friends!"

Seeing the look on his face, Bian Lang thought that if he had something useful at hand, he would definitely throw it at him.

"No, Brother Kaizi, I still want to go to your hometown for the Blueberry Music Festival!"

"You..." Huang Kai also wanted to return home in glory, so Bian Lang was able to take advantage of him in this matter!

"By the way, I heard that Italy wants to find you to sing the theme song for the World Cup?"

When asked about this again, Bian Lang was a bit embarrassed: "It wasn't me they asked, it was the owner of Juventus who said he could help if I had any ideas."

"This boss is really good at doing favors. How can you fail if you take action? The World Cup, that's terrifying... But if you still write in Italian, you won't be singing it yourself, right?"

Bian Lang had never really thought about this. If it was really in Italian, he would definitely not sing. And it seems that some host countries prefer to use their own singers to perform.

Now, the biggest crisis facing him is CAA. The most direct solution that Bian Lang can think of is to expand his influence. The fastest and most effective way to do this worldwide is probably the theme song of the World Cup.

And there is another benefit to having a good relationship with Italians, as anyone who has seen The Godfather knows!
Of course, if the song is to be easy to spread, English lyrics are an unavoidable prerequisite. And it really doesn't need to be complicated, as long as it is catchy and can resonate with the fans.

To give an inappropriate example, "BJ Welcomes You" is the theme song for the 100-day countdown to the Olympics, but compared to "You and Me", the theme song performed by Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman, the former is obviously more popular!
Thinking of this, Bian Lang directly rejected "Un' Estate Italiana", and he didn't want to bring out "The Cup Of Life" for the first time.

Then the remaining answer is easy to choose. However, to record this song, he really needs to ask these people in the football circle for help to make this song more meaningful! After all, the World Cup belongs to fans all over the world.

"Don't write in Italian, write in English. I've figured out how to do it. By the way, did you see Juli coming?"

Huang Kai was already used to Bian Lang's jumping thoughts. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I haven't seen it. You have to ask Evelyn."

He originally wanted to ask why others came to every show, but then he thought about it, they are the Rolling Stones, we have the great artist Bian Lang, and he is also a member of DGM, so why not come if he can.

In fact, Jiuli really came, but his purpose was not simple. He wanted to improve his relationship with Bian Lang and compete for a guest spot from Panama. He had no hope of snatching it from Hatter, after all, Hatter had done a favor to the Rolling Stones, and they were still the same overseas agent. The only thing left was the last show in Berlin, so he had no illusions at all.

At this moment, he was lobbying Ivo in the bar: "Ivo, don't you Panama need to prepare for the next tour? Give us one show so you can have more time to prepare."

Seeing Jiuli like this, Yiwo wanted to tease him first: "But, does Wave need you?"

This immediately broke Jiuli's defense: "Yiwo, I thought we were friends!"

"We and Hatter have both invited the Rolling Stones to be special guests. What about you?"

Jiuli: "We are not worthy, okay?"

At this time, Jiuli was a little angry. The reason why he wanted to be a guest of the Rolling Stones was, of course, to use this opportunity to find a stage to showcase their own unsuccessful works. After all, if it was their own special show, the agent and DGM team would strongly oppose singing these works.

But as a guest of Rolling Stone, he was sure that DGM would not be able to do anything about it, and that Bian Lang would not care either. This was his true pursuit of music besides making money.

"Jiuli, when did you become so serious?"

"I've always been so serious, but sometimes I have to compromise with money..." When saying this, Jiuli's mood had calmed down a little, but he was a little depressed again.

The topic of niche and mainstream is a mystery in music circles all over the world, and the same goes for creative inspiration.

Before Mayouye and his friends became popular, songs like "Nanshan Nan", "Anhe Bridge" and "Rose" were considered niche, but later even popular domestic pop singers covered them. However, these guys were unable to write works of this level afterwards.

There are actually very few bands like Jiuli who have tasted the sweetness and can turn back to continue to create with their original intentions. Yiwo is of course happy to help Jiuli, but he is also very conflicted!

They were more considerate of the human touch when being guests of the Rolling Stones. Not to mention that the Rolling Stones went to the island country to rescue them, the subsequent special show in China in collaboration with the Rolling Stones did open the door to a new world for them.

Let them realize how huge the potential of China is!

There were many bands that wanted to enter the Chinese market before, but without the Rolling Stones as a springboard and the complexity of getting everything running, many bands' agencies chose to give up on this piece of fat meat.

But now with the Rolling Stones as a springboard, it's much easier to make these things happen.

Moreover, the results of the forerunner Hatter have come out. The six cities attracted a total of 6 fans, with an average of 10.2 per show. This is 1K higher than the previous average of 7 per show expected by both parties. The increase in ticket revenue for each show is in the millions.

Whether it's influence or income, this is a result that all three parties are quite satisfied with, whether it's the band, DGM or the Rolling Stones.

DGM will not hide these data and will even publicize them in a big way, so Panama is already planning a trip to China next year. The cooperation partner is the Rolling Stones, and only the Rolling Stones.

If they were to be guests in one less show, they felt that the favor would not be enough. Of course, this did not include the share of their works given to them by Bian Lang.

So he made a suggestion that Jiuli found outrageous but also exciting: "Then let's go together in the next match in Russia!"

"This..." Jiuli was silent.

If it were a pop singer, it wouldn't be a big deal to have two or three guests at a concert. Some even went so far as to turn a solo concert into a compilation.

But it seems a bit inappropriate for a rock band to do that. Moreover, this is the first solo tour of the Rolling Stones, which is very important to both the Rolling Stones and their fans. "Talk to Wave and think about dividing the concert into three parts. It won't take up their performance time, and the fans certainly won't mind playing for an extra half an hour."

Yiwo's idea immediately piqued Jiuli's interest: "Your idea seems good, so should we go and discuss it with Wave?"

Before the two of them finished discussing, Jiuli's phone rang. Seeing that it was Evelyn's number, Jiuli answered it immediately. After hanging up the phone, Jiuli picked up his beer glass and clinked it with Ivo, saying, "Wave wants to discuss something with me. I'll go to the hotel to find him first. I'll discuss this with him."

"Go ahead, tell me when you're done!"

After leaving the bar, Jiuli began to think in his mind: "What does Wave want from me?"

It was 10 o'clock in the evening local time, neither early nor late. He really couldn't guess what Bian Lang wanted to talk to him about.

When they met Evelyn at Bian Lang's hotel, they asked Evelyn several times but she said she didn't know: "I think you may not know Wave very well. There are some things he just does as he pleases. As his agent, I can't keep up with his pace at all. But it's definitely not a bad thing..."

Jiuli nodded and followed him upstairs.

After entering the door and greeting Bian Lang, he was stunned by Bian Lang's next action.

"Here, this is a gift for the Villarreal fans."

"Uh... so fast?" Jiuli couldn't help but pause when he took the tablet from Bianlang.

Think about it, it has only been a few days since he asked Bian Lang for help. He knew that Bian Lang was fast, but he didn't expect him to be this fast.

"I believe the fans will definitely like this song!" Bian Lang's confident words made Jiuli give up any other ideas and start watching it on the tablet.

After investigating Villarreal's side and confirming that the team's home jersey is bright yellow, I was sure that this song would work. I hope that this song can also make Villarreal use the nickname of the Yellow Submarine just like in the original Earth.

Five minutes later, when Bian Lang played the prelude with his guitar, he was able to sing directly: "In the town where I was bor，Lived a man who sailed to sea，And he told us of his life，In the land of submarines…"

The voice is 6 points similar to Lennon, but the feeling in his bones is 120 points!
How to put it, it's like a soul that doesn't want to be bound by shackles, but has to compromise in order to survive, but still deliberately pretends not to care.

This is Bian Lang's profile of Lennon...

Two minutes later, Jiuli calmed down his excitement and asked Bian Lang seriously, "Wave, on behalf of the fans, I want to thank you. Who are you going to sing this song for?"

"Of course it's for your band! If you think it's okay, then let your agent negotiate the price with Evelyn!"

Jiuli was somewhat surprised by Bian Lang's straightforwardness, but also felt relieved. After all, this was the result he wanted!

Evelyn also smiled and said, "Even if this single doesn't have the attribute bonus of the team, it is still a single that suits your temperament very well. It is likely to sell well. Tell Nikita to prepare to bleed!"

Bian Lang's works are no longer as unpopular in DGM as before. With the two successful cases of Silva and Coldplay, it is not to say that they are flocking to it, but no one is willing to let this opportunity slip away.

As for why Bian Lang doesn't sing himself, Bian Lang feels that he is still far from Lennon's schizophrenic state.

Flying leafs, doing yoga, taking nude photos, sit-ins, protests, fighting with the immigration department, singing the praises of peace and love... etc., Bian Lang is not a person who lives in that era and environment, so he cannot understand how these things can be seamlessly integrated into the same soul.

But Jiuli can!
Because Bian Lang has read this person's information. Apart from the things that are impossible to happen again after the change of times, the things he has done are probably only a Yoko Ono away from Lennon...

"Thank you, Wave. I promise Nikita will have no objection to the business matters. Is there anything else I can do for you? I know this is not just a copyright transaction for a song..."

Before he could finish his words, Bian Lang interrupted him and said, "There is indeed something I need your help with. I hope you can help me find La Liga fans to record a song. I wrote a song to participate in the World Cup theme song competition!"

"What? The competition for the World Cup theme song?" Jiuli could only admit that his thinking could not keep up with Bian Lang's pace at all.

He was at the La Liga club one second, and the next he was at the World Cup theme song. But to be honest, if he had the ability, that would definitely be what he would do. That's the World Cup, the World Cup that fans all over the world dream of!
"Yes, I would like you to help me find a fan to record a sample."

"Huh? Why are you looking for me? Do you mean to look for Villarreal fans? Juventus' people are still here, and you have a good relationship with the Gunners..."

"I think fans of the world's famous leagues, in addition to the five major leagues, there is also River Plate..." He originally wanted to say Xia Chao, but Bian Lang hesitated.

"I understand. Leave the rehearsal to me and I'll organize it. Do you need a video? I can make it for you when the time comes."

Bian Lang’s idea is to release a demo first and then plan the MV.

But before he could speak, Evelyn, who had understood the whole story, took charge of the matter directly: "Wave, tell me the specific requirements, and you don't need to personally take care of the rest. Including who needs to be found to sing, and other requirements..."

Bian Lang nodded and thought that this was the best approach. This matter might also involve some things with Agnelli later on, so it would be best if Evelyn could help deal with it.

Although Evelyn didn't say it, she had already figured it out in her mind.

The World Cup is one of the most influential sporting events in the world, involving the largest fan base. Bian Lang won the theme song, and hundreds of millions of views are just the foundation!

As for whether it can succeed, she, like everyone else, has mysterious confidence in Bian Lang!

When she received the file sent by Bian Lang in the early morning and forwarded it to him a few minutes later, Jiuli directly sent a recording of a trial singing: "Ole ole ole ole, We are the champions..."
