Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

The Water-Splashing Festival is the New Year of the Dai people, and is calculated using the Dai calendar, so the time is not fixed.

The original Earth's Xishuangbanna was mainly for the development of tourism, so the time was fixed at April 4, but the Blue Water Planet still calculates the dates according to the Dai calendar every year.

After it was decided, the biggest gimmick, Bian Lang, has been announced as a publicity gimmick, but the rest of the lineup has not yet been finalized.

Even if the other plastic surgeries were not announced, all the tickets for the music festival would have been sold out, but what needs to be announced still needs to be announced.

"Go ask Sister Chen about the ones that have been decided. If we arrange it according to the schedule, we are still short of a band. Just give her a shout after you finish eating, and she should be able to decide right away!"

Bian Lang said it casually, but Ai Hao felt a little helpless in his heart: "My brother Lang, if the art directors of other music festivals knew what you said, they would definitely say you are Versailles."

When he was almost done eating, Bian Lang wiped his mouth with tissue and walked towards the place where many rock music fans were gathered.

Everyone was chatting about something, and when they saw Bian Lang coming over, someone raised his beer and greeted him, “Bian Lang, come over here!”

Bian Lang waved his hand and said, "I still have to go on stage tomorrow. With so many friends here, I can't stop drinking. I know my self-control."

Li Hao listened and said, "That's true. If I were such a fool, I would be drunk tonight until the day after tomorrow."

"I have something to tell you. We are still short of a band for the Xibiqi Music Festival in Banna. Does anyone have time to go?"

Basically everyone here was informed of this before coming. Only a few expressed hesitation, and made it clear that they could not go either because of schedule issues or because they felt their band was not suitable.

But no one expected that right after Bian Lang finished asking this question, the commander followed up with a sentence: "Think about it carefully. If you don't want to go, then I have an idea!"

As soon as the commander finished speaking, the rafters echoed, "Count me in!"

Now, those who still had some ideas immediately extinguished the idea: "If you two go, then we will follow to join in the fun."

"Yeah, it's been years since I've seen the Commander and Brother Zhuan perform properly, and the one in "The Gift" doesn't count!"

Just like that, Bian Lang decided with just one sentence that these two veterans who wanted to continue their professional careers would join him.

Ai Hao is now quite familiar with the rock circle, and he knows how difficult it is to invite these two people. If this is promoted earlier, it will definitely be fatal to many old rock fans.

But all the tickets are sold out now, and if the news is announced, I'm going to be mostly criticized.

Seeing his gloomy face, Bian Lang guessed a little that he was afraid that his financial support would cause misunderstanding among people. So Bian Lang asked directly: "What's the matter? Are you worried that if the news gets out, people will call you a 'scam'?"

"Yes! Brother Lang, this is the first Xibiqi, I..."

Before Ai Hao finished speaking, Bian Lang had already thought of a solution for him: "The venue is in the Splashing Water Square. There are many natural stands nearby. Go back and find Zhang Wei and ask him to find you some of our powerful campus agents and make some detailed free-riding strategies..."

……

After the midnight snack buffet was over, Bian Lang and other main creators got together to review the process.

The issue of fans' declining physical strength and energy and the lack of enthusiasm in the venue naturally arose later today.

Qin Ge's suggestion was: "There is a play-off system to be recorded tomorrow. If not, we can give the fans an extra meal. Wouldn't that be better?"

Niu Bo said directly: "Increasing the time for eating and resting is not a big deal. But there is a PK at the end, and the time is uncontrollable. Will this affect some fans who are planning to go home that night?"

Bian Lang had never thought about this, but he felt that it was possible.

After thinking for a while, Bian Lang said, "Let's carry out this matter according to the original plan. This is something that is uncontrollable in the first place, and we can't do it perfectly. We can only try not to make mistakes and try to save some time. For the subsequent recordings, I suggest that we consider paying for the fans' accommodation..."

Everyone was stunned when this was mentioned, and Pan Jianhu said, "This is a good thing. It won't be a problem for us to cover this with our costs, but..."

Before Lao Pan finished speaking, Niu Boyi added: "In the long run, this will not harm the reputation of the program, but it may cause others in the industry to bear a grudge against it."

"There is a way to prevent them from bearing a grudge. We can find a few hotels to exchange sponsorships. It's not summer vacation or a holiday, so I think it's possible."

Chen Shuting didn't make a final statement. After all, it was not just a few dozen people, but hundreds!

None of the nearby hotels had the capacity to accommodate all of them at once, she had no experience in negotiations in this regard, and there seemed to be no mature cooperation cases in the circle.

In the end, it was Bian Lang who made the final decision: "Then Sister Chen should go and talk to them. If there is no hope, the money will be rolled over!"

Lao Pan and Chen Shuting naturally would not have any objection. This amount of money was used to maintain the image of the Rolling Stones among music fans and was nothing for the Rolling Stones now.

After all, the Rolling Stones are no longer the same as they were in the days when they had to live a frugal life. They can earn back this little money by releasing a single song, and neither of them would be stupid enough to consolidate their fan base.

However, before Niu Boyi could speak, You Xuefeng followed Bian Lang and the others in expressing their opinions: "How can this be allowed? How can we let your family figure out a solution? We can also contribute to this matter. If you have to pay in the end, we will also..."

Niu Boyi had no intention of not contributing, but the current situation was like setting them up against each other, so he could only say, "No, I haven't even expressed my opinion yet, how come I'm isolated! Anyway, my local connections can only rely on you two. If we have to contribute money in the end, then everyone should contribute according to their share..."

It was almost 12 o'clock when they finished the discussion, but Bian Lang still had a rehearsal, so he said hello to a few people and went to Le Xia Hall to wait. Before he went in, he saw Guo Sichu standing at the door.

"Bian Lang, there's no need to cover yourself so tightly, right?"

It was natural that Guo Sichu couldn't get in. Among the super fans, only Niu Boyi could get in. Even Liu Ziyang, one of his own people, was not allowed in, in order to leave enough room for surprises for a few super fans.

"What do you want to do in there? Can't you see it tomorrow?" Bian Lang asked with a wry smile.

"Sister Kuan has already gone in, why can't I go in?" After saying this, he pretended to look at the staff at the door angrily.

But the staff member did not react at all as expected when faced with a star putting on airs. He neither opened his mouth to explain nor showed any sign of grievance or embarrassment on his face.

Seeing this, Bian Lang guessed that Guo Sichu was probably waiting for him here. After all, she was indeed a singing queen, but she was not arrogant to the outside world and would not deliberately embarrass the staff.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. Shall we go to another place?"

Seeing that Bian Lang was so reasonable, Guo Sichu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go find a place indoors to have something hot to drink. The wind is a bit chilly."

Bian Lang nodded and took her to the Rolling Stones' temporary office.

He made a cup of hot milk for Guo Sichu, and made himself a cup of black tea, and then sat down opposite Guo Sichu.

"Queen of Songs, what's the urgent matter that requires you to come to me at this time?"

"My makeup artist was sent by the brand I endorse, the one I worked with on Peach Blossom Spring. She spent a day in the studio and talked to their boss. Then the people there contacted Sister Kuan and said they wanted to... But after Sister Kuan informed the investment department, they said that for this category, you have to give your approval!"

Bian Lang was wondering what the matter was. When he heard this, he said directly, "How can I not give you face? Besides, we still have a lot of female musicians. Just say hello to Yue Zaonuo's team."

Only then did he agree. Guo Sichu continued, "What they mean is that they want you to appear on camera to record a short drama, and the fee will be based on my level."

"Forget it! I can't do this!"

Bian Lang puts on makeup when he goes on stage for stage effects and to show respect to his fans and audiences, but he wouldn't do a commercial.

"You really don't want to consider it? You have so many female fans, it's hard to say that the effect is better than mine..."

Seeing that Guo Sichu looked at him with a gloating look, Bian Lang smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Can you help me communicate with this stage design team? I want to use them for this year's concert. Before you came here, Sister Liang had already talked to them, but their attitude seemed..."

Then Bian Lang understood. The team sent by DGM had plenty of work to do in Europe, and they came here purely to see if they could cooperate with Bian Lang, and they had no intention of opening up the Chinese market.

But Bian Lang asked another question: "Are you going to hold a concert this year? When did you decide?"

"It's just been recorded now, and it's expected to be released at the end of the year. By then, I should be an artist under the Rolling Stones. As a big boss, shouldn't you help this money-making machine of mine solve this small need?"

Having said that, what else can Bian Lang say? A singing queen has described herself as a money-making machine for the Rolling Stones. What else do you want to do?

"Okay, I'll take care of it... No, you don't need to come to me now for this matter?" Bian Lang still didn't quite believe it.

After all, in his opinion, these two matters did not require Bian Lang to come to Bian Lang to confirm.

Guo Sichu was really worried about these two things. As for why he was so anxious, it was mainly because Bian Lang himself didn't know that the situation of the live recording of the show had already spread in the circle.

Although the leaked videos were all insignificant, they still caused quite a stir in the circle.

Therefore, several advertisers with a keen sense of smell have started to plan to give quotes to the program team, so the party endorsed by Guo Sichu acted so quickly, begging Guo Sichu to take the blame for them first.

As for the latter matter, someone was even faster. It was said that Lantai had used their connections to find Qin Ge...

"That's all. If you want to think of something else, I'd like to hear your opinion..."

It would be hard for any man to resist if the queen of singing said something like this to you. Even if it was a joke, it was not said casually.

However, Bian Lang, the rock star of two lives, did not give in at all: "Okay, then go to the guest lounge and wait for me to finish the rehearsal here, and then go back to the hotel to discuss tomorrow's script..."

Maybe it’s because he hasn’t encountered such a situation for a long time. When Bian Lang said this, it felt a bit awkward, like a rookie pretending to be a veteran.

Guo Sichu burst out laughing when he saw this: "Bian Lang, you're really funny pretending to be dissolute..."

There is wind tonight, but no romance.

After the rehearsal, Bian Lang went back to the hotel and fell asleep. When he got up at 7:30 the next day to wash up, he saw the link that Chen Shuting sent him. Seeing that it was sent two hours ago, Bian Lang guessed that she might have stayed up all night.

When he clicked on the link and saw it, Bian Lang paused while brushing his teeth: "Is this spoiler a compliment or a criticism?"

After clicking on the link, I saw a true record of the entire recording process of yesterday by an unknown enthusiastic netizen.

There is not any spoiler about the competition results or the songs, but the author used a very exaggerated narrative to vividly describe the amazement of the stage and the various "aftereffects" caused by the long recording period.

In the comment section below, there are people expressing envy, cursing, and possibly other fans who were at the concert yesterday chatting below.

But if Bian Lang didn't know the truth, he would probably be itching to read the words he used.

"The only regret is that Bian Lang got excited at the beginning and then ran away!"

"Didn't you notice that Queen Guo was crying?"

"But they came down from the sky! Other programs can't even think about it, right?"

“I can only say that the Rolling Stones love the stage too much!”

"Bian Lang is a real talent scout. I predict that this dark horse will be the next Ma Yuan!"

"zzt is here, I'm really looking forward to Bian Lang's performance..."

These words, which seemed like every sentence was a spoiler but actually revealed nothing, really made those rock fans who couldn't be there in person feel itchy.

Especially those who had won the lottery but later withdrew due to various reasons: "Believe it or not, if you say one more word, I will report you on behalf of the program team! We all signed a confidentiality agreement when we went there, and your behavior is a serious breach of contract..."

"Don't be crazy, I've taken screenshots of everything. I didn't see these contents when the show aired. Just wait for me to sue you for spreading rumors!"

"The prodigal son ran away? The diva wept? What kind of moral decline or twisted humanity is this? If I had known I could watch this, I would have gone even if I was fired!"

"If you want to resign, just say so. Bian Lang and Guo Sichu don't have to take the blame!"

"Stop talking here. I'm going to ask for leave now to go to the scene. I heard that the recording place is quite deserted, so I can sneak in! Brothers, wait for my text live broadcast today!"

Among these eager spectators, there are many people in the industry like Pan Xiulong. Although he was working at the fruit station, he did not forget to send a message to the two people in the group who were at the scene: "@白刀@刘紫阳, can you tell me a little bit, how does the effect of the scene compare with the music festival?"
