When things were almost over, there was a knock on the door of Bian Lang's room.

After hanging up the phone, Bian Lang casually put on a sweater and jeans and went to open the door. The person coming now didn't even have to think about it. It was either a brother of the Rolling Stones or Chen Shuting.

After opening the door, it turned out that all the Rolling Stones and Chen Shuting were standing at his door, but Bian Lang also missed Olaf and Wentz.

"Thank you everyone!" After Bian Lang said this, he turned aside to let everyone in.

Bianlang was a suite. The space was not big but no one was particular about it. He sat casually on the bed and carpet and Olaf was the first to speak.

"Wave, I think the cooperation between the Rolling Stones and DGM can be officially announced in advance. I am willing to go to China with you and serve as one of the music directors of the Rolling Stones."

After hearing this, Bianlang thanked Olaf and asked, "What is the attitude of DGM on this matter?"

Before Olaf opened his mouth, Chen Shuting took the lead and said: "I contacted her just now. Evelin means that DGM's position is on our side, but there are some things we don't know about it. We will confirm it later." We will have an answer after the treatment plan.”

Bian Lang didn't think much about what it was, and turned to ask Watts: "Ms. Watts, will this matter affect our cooperation with AC?"

"Bian Lang, don't worry. We are not those netizens who have no judgment on the Internet. There will be no changes in our cooperation. I just want to discuss with you whether we should take this opportunity to make an official announcement about our cooperation." ?”

After hearing this, regardless of whether AC had any other purpose, Bian Lang was grateful. Of course, he also knows that the influence of a Rolling Stone is not the most important factor why DGM and AC took sides so quickly. This is inseparable from the huge Chinese market behind the Rolling Stones.

They are not a luxury goods company. If they adopt a condescending attitude towards the Chinese market, they will only suffer in the end.

"Thank you for your kindness. However, the publication time of the comic has not yet been decided. It is not worth using this gimmick to grab this wave of popularity. Please communicate with your company. The last stop of the Hatter tour is at Christmas time. In Moscow, I will give this book a sufficient publicity stunt, and AC will not be reluctant to pay for the promotion then!"

"Really, can you tell me first what kind of stunt it is?" Watts was also curious.

"You will know this when you come to Moscow..."

"Okay, but I will still support you in a personal capacity."

After confirming what Bian Lang meant, Wenzi didn't stay long and left with Zhang Jing. Before leaving, Zhang Jing said to Bian Lang: "Come on, Teacher Bian! I believe many people are on your side like me. On the side!"

But as soon as the two opened the door, they saw a person hurriedly appeared at the door. When they saw that the person was Xie Xinyan, everyone was stunned.

"Are you okay? Bian Lang, I received a call from Lin Sheng an hour ago. He told me about domestic affairs. I sent you a message but you didn't reply..."

An hour ago, the waves hadn't started yet. After being woken up by Zhang Fan's phone call, it was now, and he didn't have time to go out and check WeChat. He believed that there must be many people like Xie Xinyan who had sent him messages of concern.

Thinking of this, he replied to Xie Xinyan: "It's okay, Li Yiliang can't do anything to me."

The reason why Xie Xinyan believed in Bian Lang so firmly was because of "Yellow Race" and "The Angel".

The former was sung by him as he watched Bian Lang directly follow the intro of one of his songs. The latter had not come to London for a visit. Who would have thought of writing a song like this for Arsenal after experiencing these things.

"That's good. Let's talk about your plans first. After you've finished discussing them, I'll tell you my thoughts!"

"Please tell me what you think first. We can't explain the matter here in one sentence or two." Bian Lang knew that if the Rolling Stones were to speak, they would definitely have to scold them first, especially those who knew the most. The bravery of the situation.

"Then let me tell you, I am also very angry about how luxury stores treat this matter differently, so I would like to contribute a little bit to this matter. Can we record a video for the song "Yellow Race"..."

"Record!" Bian Lang said directly before Xie Xinyan finished speaking.

"Olav, help me contact a rehearsal room at DGM, as well as a bamboo flute and a bass drum. I need these two instruments. By the way, help me find someone who can play the bamboo flute, preferably from China."

After hearing this, Wang Wenhui said: "Leave it to me to find folk musicians!"

"It needs to be awesome, this song has a flute solo!" Bian Lang also specifically confessed.

"Don't worry, I can handle this. I'll contact you right away and see you at the DGM headquarters later." After saying that, Wang Wenhui picked up his coat and walked out.

"I can come with the big drum! The filming team can also use mine!" Xie Xinyan also claimed his task.

"Okay, let's go there now and we'll talk about other things on the way."

Entering the "fighting state" so quickly, Dayong, who was filled with anger, could only hold it back first.

Xie Xinyan's nanny car was downstairs in the hotel. Bian Lang called Dayong alone and got into Xie Xinyan's car and headed there first.

Before getting in the car, Dayong thought he wanted to give him a chance to complain about Li Yiliang. Who knew that after getting in the car, Bianlang said directly: "Brother Yong, this song is mainly about your drum loop."

After hearing this, Dayong realized that he was about to do a big job.

"New song from "Yellow Race"? Dizi solo, I haven't seen this song in the music library!"

"I just made it yesterday. I won't write the score. I'll do it for you when the time comes. Brother Xie plays the drums, so the two of us have to cooperate well. Brother Xie, there is a video of me playing guitar and singing. You can listen to it first. Look, feel it..."

Now that I have a plan, there is no rush to sell tickets for the New Year's Eve concert. It needs to be done, but there is no need to rush to start selling tickets tomorrow.

……

At this time, at the DGM headquarters, Adams was drinking coffee with the director of another luxury brand that sponsored Hatter's concert. This company's sponsorship of the concert was not supported by China Capital.

"Mr. Adams, to be honest, I never expected that this matter would turn out like this. I am sure that the M brand will not react in any way. The Gauls will not give up their usual arrogance. of."

"Holly, did you invite me here early in the morning just to talk about these nonsense that everyone knows?" Adams took a sip of coffee and rhythmically tapped the documents on the table that Evelin had just sent.

"I know that you have already ignored many things, but I think only you can make a direct decision on this matter. I hope you can terminate this cooperation with M. We will pay the liquidated damages. As a condition, we need Rolling Stone to represent us. .”

If someone else heard this, they might just blurt it out by saying: "Are you crazy?" However, as one of the big bosses behind DGM, having enough capital is one of his essential qualities.

After being silent for about half a minute, Adams slowly said: "Holly, I admit that your vision and judgment are first-class, but if you want to terminate the contract with M Brand, it means that we will not be able to deal with them again in the short term. There is no cooperation. As you know, music and fashion are inseparable. I cannot accept your condition."

Of course, Holly doesn't expect to convince Adams with just one sentence. The price negotiation process still needs to be done: "Adams, when DGM cooperates with Rolling Stone, isn't it because they want to enter the Chinese market? We all know that China is a very honest company. Nation, I believe that as long as you terminate your contract with the M brand, you will gain the favor of a large number of Chinese music fans."

"Holly, I admit that you are right, but in fact it will take a long time for this move to be realized, and now Wave is also involved in trouble..."

Facing Adams who was still going around, Holly interrupted with a smile: "Adams, you are not one of those ordinary people whose judgment will be swayed by comments. We all know that these are two different things. I think you should be more knowledgeable than me." Know the truth. If Wave were like that, you would have just said to me: 'Holly, my friend, we are not going to continue working with the Rolling Stones'..."

Adams, who was exposed, did not feel embarrassed and replied with a smile: "Indeed, these are two things. Although I haven't spoken to Wave in person, I was there when Hatter was live, and his songs and live performances Infectiousness cannot be replaced by others. If he was not the creator of these classic songs, it is difficult for me to imagine what beliefs he had to perform these songs to this level.

Moreover, a small employee of our DGM has told me how "The Angel" was written. I have no doubt about Wave on this matter. However, I would like to see how he handles this matter, and maybe we will gain more after waiting. "

After hearing this, Holly nodded in agreement: "No problem, but during this period, if there are competing products that want to talk to DGM about this matter, I hope..."

"Don't worry, Holly, I believe there won't be too many people who are willing to take this risk. Besides, you are also one of the rockiest luxury brands I know!"

Indeed, as Adams said, the founder of Amiri, the brand where Holly works, drew design inspiration from glam rock performances from the beginning and created a niche fashion brand with a rock-based tone. However, in recent years, because they have been sought after by many big-name European and American celebrities, their rising prices and brand tone have also allowed them to enter the ranks of luxury brands.

Among other things, most of the costumes for this Hatter performance were provided by them.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of Adams' office. When Evelin saw Holly here, she directly stated the purpose of her visit without any hesitation: "Mr. Adams, Olaf and Wave are bringing the Rolling Stones musicians." I came over with Mr. Xie, the king of Chinese singers, and heard that they were going to rehearse and record a new song for..."

After hearing what Evelin said, Adams stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, Holly, let's go and see what surprises your future spokesperson will bring us."

At the same time, at the entrance of the Chinese Embassy in England on Portland Street, a woman wrapped in a camel trench coat walked out quickly, carrying a leather musical instrument bag almost one meter long.

After looking around at the door, I got into the back seat of the taxi waiting on the other side of the road.

After getting in the car, the woman took off her gloves, shook hands with Wang Wenhui, the front passenger passenger, and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Tang Qiao, the wind musician of the Magic City Folk Orchestra."

Wang Wenhui turned around and shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Chief Tang. I believe that this cooperation between you and the Rolling Stones will definitely be a classic collision between our Chinese folk music and rock!"

Coincidentally, Wang Wenhui contacted Ambassador Wu of the British Embassy through Ambassador Liu Gengyun because he had helped Hatter urgently apply for a passport. Moreover, this time the Rolling Stones came to England for work, and it was somewhat of a cultural communication aspect. The embassy has noticed this. Wang Wenhui originally wanted the embassy to help find out if there were any overseas students in England who could meet Bian Lang's requirements. Unexpectedly, the embassy was receiving Tang Qiao, the flute principal of the Magic City Folk Orchestra, who came to England for an exchange performance.

Ambassador Wu asked tentatively, and then Tang Qiao agreed directly: "I listened to the Rolling Stone's "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty". It is a song that is very popular among us Chinese. If I have the opportunity, I can collaborate with the Rolling Stone." I am very happy to promote Chinese culture."

Tang Qiao, who got into the car, asked with great interest: "Mr. Wang, I wonder what kind of song it is and it needs flute accompaniment?"

Wang Wenhui did not answer immediately, but changed the topic and asked: "Chief Tang, what do you think of the things that are going viral in China about Bian Lang?"

After hearing this, Tang Qiao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said seriously: "I don't understand the rules of the entertainment industry, but a person who can speak out for the nation and can write lyrics like "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" , I shouldn’t be shy about doing that kind of thing..."

"Sure enough, rumors stop only with the wise!" After Wang Wenhui praised it, he handed over his phone and said: "This is the guitar playing video of that song. You can listen to it first. I heard Brother Lang said there is a flute solo in it. "

Upon hearing this, Tang Qiao took the phone and smiled: "I'm really looking forward to it. I didn't expect that my first contact with rock music would actually lead to me being the protagonist!"

……

In the rehearsal room, the three Bianlang people arrived first and started practicing drums.

Xie Xinyan plays the guitar very well. Even after he became a chef, he never gave up playing music. He can play the drums and has no problem playing the bass drum rhythmically.

Bian Lang played it for him according to the score, and then left it to him to practice on his own.

It's not difficult for Dayong. Except for the fill-in part, the rest are all basic rhythms. Bian Lang made a rough sketch based on his memory, focusing on one for Dayong to find a feel for. Once the skeleton was in place, he let him reshape the flesh and blood part himself.

The three of us played here twice, and everyone else arrived as well.

Huang Kai's bass followed the drums, and Bian Lang didn't need to explain too much.

The electric guitar part is not complicated, and there is no separate solo. For a master like Li Li, he can continue to play by himself if Bian Lang plays it once.

The rest is Huayan's keyboard. There are many synthetic undertones in the original song, which Huayan needs to simulate through the keyboard.

Nowadays, there are no flute players who have not yet arrived, so all kinds of transitions are just topped by the keyboard.

When Bian Lang and the others came in, Adams and Holly were already standing in the rehearsal room watching. They thought they were some staff from the company and didn't pay much attention.

After just finishing the song for the first time without a flute, Holly asked Adams: "Can you understand what this Chinese sung means? There is also a rap in it, which is not the case in the Rolling Stones' previous songs. It’s never happened before.”

Adams spread his hands and shook his head: "I don't understand, but judging from their expressions, it should be a song that can resonate strongly with the audience, just like "The Angel."

"When the big drum sounds, my heart will tremble, but there seems to be something missing. This shouldn't be at the level of the Rolling Stones' arrangement..."

Although Adams felt the same way, as the boss behind the music company, he naturally saw and guessed more than Holly: "Wait a minute, this won't be the final version."

"Yeah, but to be honest, apart from the drummer, several other models are really born for us Amiri! Especially Wave and Mr xie."

Hearing this, Adams glanced at Holly, then turned and went out to find Evelyn. He wanted to see what the lyrics of the song meant when translated into English.

Evelin had already obtained the lyrics of "Yellow race people" from Olaf at this time, and the song title "Yellow race people" translated through the translation software seemed a bit strange to her.

Adams took a casual look at it and said: "This song title should be translated as "Chinese", which may be more appropriate. I really don't know how the Rolling Stones want to perform this song at this time."

When he returned to the rehearsal room, Don Qiao had already arrived and was communicating with Bian Lang.

When Bian Lang learned that this was the principal flute player of the Magic City Folk Orchestra, he complimented him from the bottom of his heart: "Chief Tang, having you complete this piece with us will give this song a more extraordinary meaning." At the same time, he was heartfelt. He was also sighing: "Some things are just coincidences destined by God! If you are in need of support, just send a big man with full magic equipment over, this is a sure thing!"

Tang Qiao did not show any pretense and responded directly: "I already watched the video from Mr. Wang on the way here. I heard that there is a solo by Dizi. I am also looking forward to creating a classic together with the Rolling Stones."

After saying this, Bian Lang gave Tang Qiao the musical score. She couldn't help but feel excited when she saw that her flute playing accounted for almost [-]% of the one-minute prelude.

After having an idea in his mind, Tang Qiao opened his flute bag, and a total of five bamboo flutes from shortest to longest were displayed in front of Bian Lang's eyes.

"Bian Lang, what kind of flute should I use to play that better suits the tone you want?"

"It's in the key of C, let's try it first..." Bian Lang was actually not sure, but in his previous life, he had seen various videos of people playing the intro to this god-level flute, all of which were relatively long flutes, so he guessed that they should be used. The C key, which is the longest, is suitable.

This was indeed the case. As soon as Tang Qiao started talking, Bian Lang felt that this taste was just right!

The members of the band had heard about the flute before, but they couldn't imagine what it felt like to play it. Now, with Tang Qiao's ethereal and melodious prelude, everyone couldn't help but be excited.

Hua Yan: "Oh, this prelude is awesome!"

Dili: "Oh, it's really amazing. If you play this intro with an electric guitar and turn up the distortion, you can play psychedelic music. But combined with the lyrics, this is more suitable for playing with a bamboo flute. Bian Lang's arrangement is really good. !”

Dayong: "This time, it's completely different!"

Huang Kai: "Bian Lang is really a genius arranger. He can compose rock solos on any instrument. It's amazing!"

Olaf: "Bian Lang's arrangement skills are simply amazing. I feel that no matter what instrument it is, he can perfectly integrate it with rock music."

After finishing it, Holly looked at Adams and seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

As for Adams, he naturally still had some unanswered questions in his mind, and needed to find Bian Lang to confirm in person.

Seeing the band starting to practice together in a tacit understanding, Adams called Holly out of the rehearsal room, and then invited Bian Lang into the reception room.

He had only thought that these two people were ordinary staff members before, but now that he saw them in the reception room, Bian Lang realized that their identities were not simple.

"Wave, what are you drinking? Our coffee and black tea are very good." Adams' opening remarks were not to introduce himself, but his tone and content undoubtedly did not indicate that he was the owner of this place.

"Coffee, thanks!"

After Bian Lang took his seat, the staff who brought the coffee introduced him: "This is Mr. Adams, we all call him that here."

Without any position suffix, Bian Lang could probably understand his identity as soon as he heard it.

"Hello Mr. Adams!"

After Bian Lang said hello, he waited for the other party to continue.

Adams waved his hand and signaled the staff to leave before he began: "This is Mr. Holly, the head of Amiri's brand. There is a situation you may not know about..."

After Adams Shore explained the matter of domestic capital entrusting several luxury goods sponsors to sponsor Hatter's concert, the situations analyzed by Chen Shuting before coming were finally verified.

"Mr. Adams, so the Amiri brand is also one of the sponsors this time?" Bian Lang didn't pay attention to the sponsors before. After all, they were just invited guests, and these things had little to do with their Rolling Stones.

"You want to ask if the M brand is also one of the sponsors? Yes, I don't know which domestic capital company they are entrusted by, but I believe you should be able to guess it."

Bian Lang nodded and said, "Well, what do you mean by inviting me here?"

"In what form do you plan to present this song? Is it still the same as your previous song "Dye the Night Black"?"

Bian Lang probably discussed this matter with Xie Xinyan on the way here. Since Xie Xinyan's shooting team is here, there will be many possibilities, but they are not familiar with London, so some things will not be so convenient.

But since these two people asked him to come over and ask about this matter, they must have a purpose and must be willing to help.

After clarifying his thoughts, Bian Lang said directly: "If you two are willing to help us, I would like to hold a flash mob in front of the M brand store on Oxford Street!"

After hearing this answer, even Adams couldn't help but lean back.

Holly clapped his hands and applauded: "Wave, this idea is so crazy! But, I like it, this is rock and roll!"
