Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 909 Liu Bai

Chapter 909 Liu Bai
Indeed, this is the case. Even though it is past 2 a.m. in China, some people still wake up Bian's mother from her sleep with a barrage of calls.

When Luo Suping heard Ai Hao's mother recount this matter in a way that sounded like gibberish, she instantly snapped out of her daze: "What did you say? Is it true? I, as her mother, don't even know this. Where did you get this information from?"

Ai's mother was just as excited as Bian's mother, because once this news was released, Xibiqi, whose fortunes were tied to Xibiqi's, would definitely rise with it and reap huge profits. So Ai Hao's father was also bothered by people all night.

But you can't ignore them; they're either long-standing relationships or veterans in the distribution channels. Especially those in supermarkets and e-commerce—they're even more excited than if they were from Xibiqi!
They use this gimmick for marketing, and anyone who uses it knows how effective it is.

"Empress Chu! The future Crown Princess of Xibiqi?" Posting this out like this, whether it sells well or not is unknown, but it's guaranteed to attract a lot of clicks. Everyone loves a good show, right? People all over the world are the same!

So, the first thing Ai's mother did upon hearing the news was to call Bian's mother to ask, "There are so many photos online, and I've heard there are even videos on foreign websites. This can't be faked, can it?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Suping was basically certain that the matter was true. Bian Lan had mentioned it to her earlier when she received the tip, just in case Bian's mother was shocked into doing something rash when she finally found out.

After all, Guo Sichu isn't like Dong Youbian. Outside of the folk music scene, Dong Youbian might be famous for his songs but not for himself. But Guo Sichu is different; he's practically a household name across China, from young to middle-aged.

When Luo Suping thought about how this pretty young girl who looked so good on TV and sang so well might become her daughter-in-law, and then thought about the second son of the Bian family a year ago, she wondered if she had traveled through time!

"Your husband must have received quite a few calls too, go and lend a hand. I'll send a WeChat message to the second son later to ask him what's going on and then I'll let you know!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Suping lay on the bed in a daze for a while before pulling Bian Hai, who was still yelling, up: "Old Hai, get up! What time is it and you're still sleeping!"

Bian Hai was groggily woken up, and after hearing what had happened, he could only sit on the bed and grin foolishly: "Well, this kid really has guts!"

"Is that all you're going to do? That girl is Guo Sichu!"

On this issue, Bian Hai was clearly much calmer than Luo Suping: "Why are you reacting so strongly? Even if that girl is a princess from some European country, if she wants to enter my Bian family, she will still have to kowtow to you and me when she gets married."

Besides, your son is now capable of taking things to higher levels; he's not much different from Guo Sichu. Furthermore, didn't that young Liang say at Nan Feiyan's dinner that our son's fame abroad far surpasses Guo Sichu's?

Luo Suping hadn't expected Bian Hai to think of this so directly, but what he said was indeed correct. Regardless of whether Guo Sichu was a superstar or not, if she were to end up with Bian Lang, she would have to call her "Mom."

The key is the second half of the sentence. Thinking about it, this strong woman felt that her son's sudden growth made it impossible for her, a mother who considered herself to be doing well in business, to help him even if she wanted to!
She didn't like Bian Lang before, but she had a good idea of what was going on. As long as Bian Lang didn't commit any crimes, whether it was Nan Feiyan or Xi Biqi, it would be enough for Bian Lang to live a wealthy and leisurely life in Chuncheng for the rest of his life.

Now look what's happened! She's made it big by going abroad, and she wrote an English song that she thought was perfectly fine, but those old fogies have taken notice of her.

"Old Hai, you're saying that the love stories we read when we were young were way more explicit than the lyrics of your son's song, right?"

"You mean those are all great writers? In China, intellectuals are the highest class. People like Lao Er are just actors in their eyes, not worthy of being on stage!"

"That's true, but..."

"No buts, we can't help with that. But this time, we really need to urge them on. Guo Sichu is probably older than the second son, right? If they're considering getting married and having children, then they're at a relatively advanced age for childbearing. If they hurry, it'll only be a matter of the next couple of years; they can't delay any longer..."

Upon hearing Bian Hai mention this, Luo Suping also snapped out of her reverie and said, "Yes, if it's about getting married and having children, Guo Sichu is really at the age where it's time to start. We need to urge her to get married! Also, tomorrow at the store, there will definitely be some curious customers, so I need to inform the store managers..."

Bian Hai was quite relaxed about this; as someone in charge of production, he couldn't get involved in these matters at all. Whether it was the factory or the restaurant, it really wasn't his concern. However, seeing his wife still dealing with things so late at night, he couldn't just sleep next to her, so he sent a message to his eldest daughter.

He was certain that Bian Lan was still awake, and Zhang Fan, being Rolling Stone's legal counsel, was probably working overtime on this matter as well.

Sure enough, he bombarded him with messages, and after a few minutes, he finally received a voice message from Bian Lan: "Dad, we're all busy! Second Brother launched such a big project, I need to make serious arrangements at my shop tomorrow. Zhang Fan is still working overtime in Second Brother's office. If you're really free, come over tomorrow morning to help take Qinqin to school..."

After listening to the voice message, Bian Hai felt a bit amused and exasperated: "Well, I'm the only one in the family who's not really in a job..."

After saying that, he got up, put on a coat, and went to the balcony to smoke and relieve his boredom.

He only said those words about Guo Sichu to reassure Luo Suping; his own plans were far from simple. If things really went well, he'd already be figuring out how to handle things back home so as not to embarrass his second son!

In the past, Dong Youbian felt that his side was not much worse than others, except that he made a little less contribution.

But Guo Sichu isn't Dong Youbian! Even if her parents weren't anything special, she's been influenced by the Empress's noble aura for so many years, so there's definitely a difference between her and a small business family like theirs!
"I really hope they get together, but I also hope the second son won't be too overwhelmed..." The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he even let half of his cigarette smoke drift away into the sea breeze of Dianchi Lake...

As for Bian Lan, things are even more chaotic. "Sisters Who Make Waves" fried chicken and Bian Lan are deeply intertwined brands. With this news breaking tonight, she needs to make some advance plans and preparations. First, she needs to cope with the potential surge in orders tomorrow; second, she needs to guard against any disruptive attempts!

Of course, knowing the inside story, she is now concerned about another issue: whether Dong Youbian's involvement in this matter will have any negative impact on the baby in her womb.

As a woman and a mother, Bian Lan certainly knew how important her child was to a mother. But if this child was her brother's biological offspring, then the situation would be entirely different.

"Guo Sichu is at an age where she probably wouldn't be thinking about having more children, so being a stepmother would be perfect... But if Dong Youbian doesn't allow it, Zhang Fan said that going to court might not be a win. Besides, given Xiao Lang's current reputation, if this kind of lawsuit gets out, it will definitely affect his career!"

However, no matter how worried Bian Lan was, she could only arrange her own affairs. As for news about Bian Lang and Dong Youbian, she could only wait for Zhang Fan to return or for Chen Shuting to contact her.

As for Zhang Fan, he and his team are currently working overtime at Rolling Stone to secure evidence.

After the last collaboration with Jinlun, they really started negotiating a merger and acquisition of their branch with our firm. If this deal goes through, then his position as a senior partner is practically guaranteed.

Then his dream of becoming an IPO lawyer might not be far off. But the things he has to do right now are incredibly trivial, and only with his own people watching over him can he ensure that Liang Kuan's requirements are met.

Liang Kuan's request was for the law firm to cooperate with his team to record everyone who had made harsh remarks against Bian Lang and Rolling Stone since the "Hurricane 2000" incident.

Once the dust settles, they'll all be taken back one by one.

In Liang Kuan's opinion, the chances of Rolling Stone getting through this hurdle without any damage are extremely low. Even if Guo Sichu were to sacrifice all her reputation and connections, it wouldn't necessarily change the minds of those above her.

The fact that they haven't made a statement yet speaks volumes.

At least Rolling Stone will be fine; otherwise, they would have been completely shut down long ago, leaving no chance for Rolling Stone to recover. But their continued silence proves that they are definitely going to cause trouble for Bian Lang.

The official announcement for this song will likely be made after the Moscow concert concludes. She's also prepared various contingency plans in case something goes wrong on Bian Lang's side and she can't handle it!
So tonight's bombshell is meant to be blown out of proportion, and the ultimate goal is to make it so that even if Bian Lang is banned in China, no one will care!

Also, after this news came out tonight, those who spread rumors about Guo Sichu will definitely be retaliated against one by one.

Du Ziteng, far away in Shenzhen, was as excited as if his pig had stolen someone else's cabbage: "These kinds of viral hits only happen once or twice in a lifetime, right? These two are unexpectedly amazing! It feels like the Chinese entertainment industry can't contain these two at all!"

……

Back in Moscow, after Ivo's antics, Panama successfully took over the super-hot live performance left by Rolling Stones. Their performances of all three songs were flawless; Bian Lang's renditions of "JUMP" and "Panama" felt like they would immediately become their signature songs upon release.

Then, when the Rolling Stones were called upon again, everyone knew that the real climax of the night was about to begin! The Rolling Stones were determined to give them an even more perfect performance tonight for those two songs they were looking forward to!
"The Internationale" and "Katyusha" are of course the best choices, and Isinbayeva has also produced Russian versions of both songs. Of course, Bian Lang was involved in the entire translation process, and the final product was approved by Bian Lang.

Although there might be some differences from the original Russian translations of these two songs, Bian Lang felt that it wouldn't be a big problem.

Especially with "The Internationale," the Internationale was something they absolutely had to achieve. It's a French transliteration, and without Bian Lang's guidance, they really wouldn't know how to do it. But Bian Lang didn't actually have a deep impression of the Russian version.

But when it comes to Russian songs, Bian Lang does know one or two.

After all, it's impossible for professionals like Bian Lang and his team not to have heard of or studied a band like Lyubbai, a band of Beatles-level caliber from Russia. Crucially, some of their songs are genuinely good, and with the influence of those Russian-speaking veterans, they naturally learned to sing them.

Of course, whether the pronunciation is accurate or not, and whether the Russians can understand it, is another matter entirely. Anyway, the lyrics were proofread by people here, so there shouldn't be any problems. So, I'll take this opportunity to present one of the songs as a gift to all the Russians present tonight.

Since the song is "Lyubai," an accordion player is indispensable. So Natasha, who had been sitting in the back preparing all night, walked to the front of the stage with the two lead singers.

Upon seeing this person appear, the applause and cheers from the fans were not only for Rolling Stones but also for Natasha.

Bian Lang didn't sing this song during rehearsals, he was waiting to give everyone a surprise!
So when Natasha spoke the song title "Затебя, Родина-мать" (For you, Motherland) in Russian on behalf of Bian Lang, the Russians in the audience were instantly ignited.

As a nation with a tragic history, the word "motherland" holds no less weight in their hearts than the word "Chinese people" does in their hearts!
So when Bian Lang's acoustic guitar and Natasha's accordion played the prelude to a unique Russian folk tune, everyone present, except for those who knew the inside story, was shocked!
However, what happened next was even more shocking, because Bian Lang actually started singing in Russian, which wasn't very standard but was still somewhat understandable:

“Черезтерниикзвёздам
Braving thorns, heading towards the stars

Черезрадостьислёзы
Experiencing laughter and tears

Мыпроложимдорогу
We opened up the road

ИзавсёславаБогу
All glory to God
Иостанутсявпеснях
Our Golden Years

Нашилучшиегоды
It will remain in the song.
Иостанетсявсердце
This free wind

Этответерсвободы
It will remain in my heart.

Головывверхгордоподнять
Head held high and chest out
Затебя-Родина-мать
For you, Motherland

Мыдоконцабудемстоять
We will persevere to the end.

Затебя-Родина-мать
For you, Motherland

Мыбудемпетьбудемгулять
We will sing in celebration

Затебя-Родина-мать
For you, Motherland

Изастрану-трижды“Ура“
