Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 674 You'd better go in and admit it yourself

By the night before the official recording session, since there were too many celebrities from the entertainment industry who were going to participate in the recording of "Summer of the Band" the next day, Rolling Stone did not arrange any separate receptions and directly set up a buffet in a venue that had been cleared in the park.

Anyway, no matter who comes or when they come, they will all be brought in.

Zhou Ye was naturally emotional because Zhou Ketong had rejected her before. If Zhou Ketong hadn't given her two more invitations to the crew, she would have turned her face away on the phone. But thinking about the favors from the crew, she still endured it for the time being, thinking about giving Zhou Ketong a taste of her own medicine when she got here today.

But after entering the buffet venue, Zhou Ye no longer remembered about making things difficult for Zhou Ketong. She was completely shocked by the artists present who were more famous than her.

Guo Sichu is now a member of the Rolling Stones and a regular super fan of "Summer of the Band", so it is most appropriate for her to be the one to host this event tonight. But she is a singing queen after all, and she has been accustomed to being a Buddhist for so many years. She is not opposed to doing this out of the blue, but it makes some people feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Ye is naturally one of them!

Logically speaking, since they had participated in the show together, they should greet each other first to build relationships, but Zhou Ye felt a little embarrassed because of Guo Sichu's aura surrounded by several first-line singers, so she didn't want to go forward. At this time, the two crew members who got the admission tickets from her also arrived.

She just gave this favor to the director and didn't know who would come. Now that she saw it was the combination of the investor and male lead Shen Tong and the music director, she was a little surprised.

It was inevitable that the music director would come, but as a woman who had already finished filming, she was very clear about how important Shen Tong's role was. Moreover, they were all rushing to catch up with the filming schedule, and his presence proved that the entire crew took this matter very seriously. She was just about to go up and say hello, but she found that Zhou Ketong was leading the way in front of the two people, and she was leading them in a completely opposite direction from where she was.

She looked up and saw a man with glasses whom she didn't know chatting with Liu Chuang.

Then I saw the crew's music director trot over and shook hands with the man.

"Oh, Teacher Ziyang, it's been a few years since we last worked together. Your current achievements are really..."

Liu Ziyang also smiled and replied: "Don't try to curry favor with me. What crew are you working on this time? Why did you come to us? Are you here to ask Bian Lang to sing a song?"

The music director was stunned. He didn't expect Liu Ziyang to expose his intention so bluntly, leaving him at a loss as to how to respond.

If he nodded and admitted it, it would mean that he was not giving Liu Ziyang face in public. If he said a few words against his will, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if he still had to go to Bian Lang in the end?

Fortunately, Shen Tong spoke up to help him out at this time: "Teacher Ziyang, long time no see. We are making a costume spy film this time, and there are too many unprofessional opinions on it, so we came to Rolling Stone to seek authoritative help!"

Liu Ziyang had just been joking with the music director because he hadn't seen him for a long time. He didn't expect that this would create such a huge psychological burden on him. Now that he heard Shen come to his rescue, he realized: "Well, Ming, you think too much. I didn't mean that. By the way, you are..."

After taking a look at Zhou Ketong in front of them, he continued, "Did Ketong invite you?"

The two of them really didn't know about this. The director gave them Zhou Ketong's contact information, so they didn't think much about it and nodded directly: "Yes."

If Zhou Ye, who was watching from a distance, knew what happened, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood!

Just when she was about to go over to say hello to Shen, she saw Guo Sichu turned around and saw Shen, then greeted several first-line singers around him, and then left.

Then she took a deep breath, and quickly walked over, trying to intercept him halfway and walk over together, so that it wouldn't be too awkward when they talked!

But who could have thought that when Guo Sichu saw her coming, he nodded slightly as a greeting, but had no intention of stopping to wait. He just walked over and left Zhou Ye, who was halfway there, standing still!

But Zhou Ye thought of Shen's presence, so he gritted his teeth and followed.

However, when she approached the group of people, the first words she heard were: "Ke Tong, you are so good, I asked you to come!"

Zhou Ketong smiled sheepishly and said, "I just passed on a message. Brother and Director Ming came here just for the sake of Rolling Stone!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ye was petrified on the spot: "It seems that all the things I put together by doing favors and enduring humiliation have finally come true..."

If it were any other occasion, she would have definitely gone up to deal with the people, but among the people on the other side was an award-winning actor and a singing queen. If she really did that, her reputation in the circle would be completely ruined.

Thinking of this, she could only hold her breath and stand behind and listen to them chatting.

Shen: "Si Chu, I've never asked you for help before. We've put a lot of effort into this new drama. Can you please give us an OST?"

Being able to talk like that proves that the relationship between these two people is not bad. Guo Sichu is a bit more Buddhist, but it does not mean that she is unpopular in the entire entertainment industry.

"Brother, I have no problem with that, but you have to sing a song. I think you guys are here for this, right?"

After Shen spoke, there was no more A-Ming. So it was Shen who answered the question raised by Guo Sichu: "Of course, Sister Kuan said before that this matter is not urgent, but I think since there is this opportunity, I will come in person. Whether the matter is successful or not, we will also show our sincerity. We also have to thank Miss Zhou for inviting us..."

Hearing this, Zhou Ye felt even colder in his heart. It turned out that the other party had already contacted her, and she was adding icing on the cake to someone else's head. This is really...

"Old man, let me be frank with you. This depends on whether Bian Lang is interested in your play. If he is interested, you superiors should stop giving us advice, including questions like who to sing for, etc...."

Finally, he heard a useful answer. Shen Xiang agreed without thinking: "Well, I watched Director Geng's new film. I can only say that the song and Teacher Ruan are a perfect match. It is also a perfect match for the theme of this play. It's just that the filming is a bit lame..."

This is not just Shen's opinion. Senior people in the industry all hold this view. Although Director Geng's film is the pinnacle of martial arts films in recent years, in the eyes of these professionals, it still does not match the song "Swords Like Dreams".

But some people bought tickets to see the movie just to listen to this song on the theater's speakers. Although it is impossible to quantify this proportion, after the news spread that Director Geng took people to the Rolling Stone Music Festival, the movie's box office did see a significant increase the next day.

Therefore, the statement that Bian Lang's songs can carry the box office has also been recognized by some people in the circle.

Even some big directors who haven't touched martial arts movies for many years were tempted: "I'll make another one with this song, it will definitely be better than Lao Geng's!"

Speaking of this, the Rolling Stones themselves dare not accept it casually. Isn't this translated into five words: "bad movies produce divine songs"? Although it is a compliment to Bian Lang, they themselves are here to invite songs. If they accept this title, both sides will be embarrassed!

"Boss, let's go get something to eat first. You guys must have just gotten off the plane... By the way, what's the name of your new play?"

"The Wind Rises tells the story of the late Three Kingdoms period..."

This is just a small microcosm of the buffet. According to the entertainment reporters waiting at the door, today's scene is almost like a large-scale evening party of a provincial satellite TV station. And it's not just the entertainment reporters who are waiting, some local fans who got the news from somewhere that their idols are coming are also waiting at the door, just to take a few closer photos.

And looking at the security presence here, and the small number of fans who came, it is not impossible for them to get an autograph and take a photo with them!

After these photos were leaked, they brought a huge boost to the promotion of "Summer of the Band"!

As for everyone's wish to meet Silva and Bian Lang in advance, it was not fulfilled after all, because all the bands were busy with the arranged songs and had to rehearse tonight.

Speaking of Silva, after listening to "Yellow" and "Meteor", she was already full of admiration for Bian Lang, so these days, apart from recording songs, she basically listened to the Rolling Stones' rehearsals.

And she rehearsed with the Rolling Stones the song she was going to dedicate to her fans at the beginning of this episode.

Originally, Elf wanted to sing her own famous song, but Silva insisted on singing rock.

Since she was in the Rolling Stones' territory, it would be a bit unreasonable for her to sing rock songs by other musicians. For a foreigner like her, singing Chinese rock songs was not a task that she could accomplish in a short period of time.

Bian Lang had never written an English rock song suitable for a female singer, so he could only write one for her now.

Then Elf felt that he was not as good a agent as Silva!

When the news of many stars gathering for "Summer of the Band" first started to circulate on the Internet, not many people noticed it. But after the photo of TV King Shen was uploaded to the Internet, the momentum was completely different!

Qiu Kui directly called the staff she sent to the scene and asked: "You have been squatting at the door all night. Are the things said on the Internet true?"

The staff originally planned to wait until everyone had left, confirm the number of people and their identities, and then report to Qiu Kui, but who would have thought that Qiu Kui's call would come directly.

He could only tell the whole story: "Those entertainment reporters only know the artists. In fact, many directors and producers in the industry have come here."

Hearing this, Qiu Kui's psychological gap became even greater: "Who are they?"

"Hmm... Oh, I just saw Mr. Jiang from the fruit station go in..."

"Forehead……"

Qiu Kui is getting more upset the more she listens to it. The weakness of the Nth Generation of Variety Shows is inevitable, but at this time of year in previous years, basically no one would be willing to compete with them. After all, their popularity is so high that even if they clash, they will be halfway through the schedule. This time, she got the news that "Summer of the Band" has been approved, and the premiere time is exactly the same as she planned, which is during the Golden Melody Awards ceremony.

If this really happens, she is not afraid of the ratings, but the online reviews after the comparison!

As for why Lao Jiang came, the first reason was of course to explain Dong Youbian’s withdrawal from the competition, and the other reason was that he was really curious about what was going on with Wumart in “Summer of the Band”.

Although Tian Xiao didn't praise him too much after he returned, the contemptuous expression on his face when he saw him on the stage had already betrayed him.

So this time Lao Jiang didn't plan to hide it, and came over to see it for himself. Of course, Chen Shuting also welcomed him openly!

However, as soon as he entered the park, he wanted to go to the Le Xia Pavilion, but was stopped by Chen Shuting: "Mr. Jiang, can't you keep your curiosity until tomorrow?"

Lao Jiang knew that he had lost his composure, so he smiled and said, "Ouch! Look at me...Is this a rehearsal in there?"

"Well, 16 bands, it's not easy to finish recording in one day tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Lao Jiang deeply agrees: "That's right, we have less than 10 singers, and the performance never lasts less than 6 hours. Even though a song never lasts more than 10 minutes, all these things add up... By the way, why did Silva come here?"

Lao Jiang is not like others who think that this person is here just to appear on the variety show. He must have other purposes.

Chen Shuting didn't hide it. Anyway, Liu Chuang and Silva were going to release songs next month, so there was no need to keep it a secret. "I'm here to record the new album that Bian Lang is preparing. Silva and Liu Chuang will release it together next month..."

Hearing this, Lao Jiang suddenly paused, then sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity! If we had known this earlier, we could have invited Liu Chuang to challenge us!"

Since it has been brought up on his show, Lao Jiang took the opportunity to make things clear: "Mr. Chen, regarding You Bian's withdrawal from the competition, I would like to find a time tonight to explain it to Bian Lang in person."

When Chen Shuting heard this, there was no change on her face. She said calmly: "Let's not mention this anymore. Youbian originally had plans for further studies. This time is just right..." Although she knew that Bian Lang would not confuse the two things, Dong Youbian had only been gone for a few days. To mention this to Bian Lang now would be like adding fuel to the fire.

Lao Jiang certainly didn't know the inside story, and the Rolling Stones had a strict gag order. But even if the Rolling Stones hadn't issued a gag order, no one would have told anyone about it. After all, Bian Lang held such a high position in their hearts that, whether it was because they didn't want Bian Lang to be sad again or for some other reason, they would completely forget about it.

But after seeing what Chen Shuting said, he, who had seen countless people, already knew the importance of this matter, so he changed the subject directly and said, "It should be quite lively this time. Tell me who is coming. I remember that since the music variety show was launched, so many artists and people in the industry have gone to the scene as audiences. You should be the first, right?"

Chen Shuting didn't respond to this, but gestured to the buffet venue and said, "I'm not very clear about some of them, you should go in and identify them yourself!"

Old Jiang smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to quicken his pace, he heard someone behind him shout, "Sister Chen, is that Mr. Jiang next to you?"

The two looked back and saw that it was Liu Xiaokui, and Xie Xinyan and Xia Yuxi were also walking together with this person for some reason!
