Chapter 335 The outrageous bet (please subscribe, please vote)

Ovation's spokesperson in China has been vacant for several years, and they have been looking for suitable candidates as they want to expand the Chinese market.

There are some guitarists in the rock circle who are not good at playing, but because Chinese rock music has been marginalized before, they feel that those with good skills are not famous enough to match the tone of their brand. There's no talking about the hard work and skills in front of them, but before joining the Rolling Stones, they didn't even know the details of this person, let alone influence the guitarists still in China.

There are people in the folk circle whose popularity meets their requirements, and even Dong Youbian has entered their field of vision. But the guitar level was really not good enough, so I put it on hold.

Half a month ago, the names of Rolling Stone and Bian Lang came into their sight, but their rise was too short, so they planned to wait and see.

The commotion caused by the Rolling Stones' European tour and the show they made today made Ovation's London manager no longer want to hesitate. He knows very well that a good song by a good band will arouse the desire of many people to pick up the guitar.

Just like the original Earth China, the new Chinese rock force in Hung Hom was really the driving force for many rock people to pick up the band in later generations.

No way, it is difficult to describe in words the shock that the Three Heroes of Magic Rock and the Tang Dynasty brought to ordinary people in that era.

Just like MJ at that time, a video influenced many people, and there are still many Chinese people who are eager to learn and imitate his moonwalk.

While listening to the two people playing, the person in charge was already planning how to deliver the plan. Now that the Rolling Stones have come to the door on their own, and they are probably the first musical instrument manufacturer they have contacted, some conditions will be easier to negotiate. If more time passes, then maybe...

He was now very glad that he rushed back this morning after receiving the news yesterday, otherwise these stubborn craftsmen would not have thought of these things together.

Seeing Bian Lang's hands rubbing, pushing, hammering, and sharpening to perfectly bring out the sounds of the two pianos to the extreme with this song he had never heard before, the person in charge used his elbow to nudge Old Baler special.

Barratt naturally knew what he wanted to imply, but deliberately ignored it. Anyway, he had already decided to take over the job.

Li is also a combination of talent, skills and experience. He relied on his own understanding to extend the prelude RIFF given to him by Bian Lang to the end of the entire song, and managed it almost exactly, which Bian Lang also admires!

When he finished pressing the strings with both hands, the person in charge clapped his hands and praised: "Wave, it's such an honor to hear you play your new song in private and alone! Let me introduce myself, my name is Amby Walsh, the person in charge of Ovation London... …”

Seeing that Walsh hadn't even taken off the felt hat on his head, Bian Lang guessed that this man had just returned.

Before he could respond, Old Barrett spoke first: "Wave, I agree to your request. Let's talk about your ideas."

Without giving Walsh any chance to interrupt, Barrett took out his notebook from the side pocket of his denim overalls and began to communicate seriously with Bian Lang.

On the way being called by Leifer, Walsh already understood the basic situation of the matter and went forward to communicate with Li Li. However, Li Li's English was poor and he had to rely on Ophina to act as a translator.

By the way, he also asked Leifer to collect the two pianos that the two of them had used just now. With the consciousness of a businessman, he knew very well the value that these two pianos might have in the future. When the Rolling Stones become internationally famous, or when the song just now becomes popular, these two pianos will not be sold, and special replicas will definitely be sought after.

As for how to promote it, he didn't even need to mention it. The two photographers Bian Lang and the others brought with them were not just decorations.

Half an hour later, the communication between Barret and Bian Lang was over. In addition to the conditions Bian Lang had put forward before, Barret recorded every detail of Bian Lang's playing habits. It is convenient for him to make targeted adjustments to some details during production.

For example, the size, thickness of the piano body, the height of the frets, etc...

After the two of them finished chatting, Walsh said with a smile on his face: "Wave, I know this request may be a bit abrupt, but I decided to say it first. We at Ovation are very sincere in inviting you to be the spokesperson of our China region. "

It wasn't surprising that he would go out to Bianlang. What surprised him was the time. According to his own thoughts, Ovation would not propose cooperation until he got the custom-made piano and used it to perform.

Bian Lang really likes the endorsement of musical instruments, which is equivalent to realizing the freedom of musical instruments.

He didn't get this kind of treatment in his previous life, so he couldn't refuse it in this life. Besides, he also likes Ovation's electric guitar, but he is not the kind of person who endorses things that he doesn't use, so he has to ask clearly about the corresponding obligations first. : “If I accept an endorsement, are there any hard targets?”

After all, for him, this 12-string electric piano is not suitable for all performances.

Of course, Walsh knew Bian Lang's concerns very well, and when he explained: "Wave, we have also learned about your and the Rolling Stones' music styles. What we hope is that you can at least have one song in every professional performance." Use Ovation products all the time, and of course it’s not just limited to the 12-string you customized.”

When it came to this, Bian Lang felt confident and immediately replied: "Then there is no problem with me personally. You can find time to talk to my agent later about business matters."     Get Bian Lang's accurate answer, Walsh happily stretched out his hand and said: "Wave, you are such a cheerful person. I will have the double-ended Hawaiian delivered to you in a piano case later. If you need anything else, you can pick it out at will... "

Hearing this, Dili felt happy and wanted to remove all the pianos from the glass wall, but his reason told him that he couldn't do that.

Then he suppressed the impulse and took his eyes away from those treasures.

Bian Lang was not polite. After a sound test, he directly picked a maple six-string electric piano with a sound he liked very much and took it away.

……

One day later, the details of the cooperation between Bian Lang and Ovation were finalized, and Bian Lang and Rolling Stones also devoted themselves to the rehearsal and recording process.

The night before the weekend, as agreed, the Rolling Stones and Hatter came to the Emirates Stadium to rehearse before the performance.

Different from the previous performance at Tuodong Stadium, there was no chariot and they performed before the opening. The stage was temporarily set up on the runway. In order to take into account all the fans present, the stages of the two bands were placed on the two long sides of the stadium. On the runway, during the performance, the two bands echoed each other across the lawn.

During the rehearsal, the Arsenal club used some excuse to send away coach Arsène, but the players and some club staff came.

Although they all learned the song privately through video, it was naturally better to hear the band play it in person before the game.

After listening to the rehearsal, Arsenal's star and captain Bergkamp took the initiative to come up and greet Bian Lang: "Wave, my name is Bergkamp. I like your song "Fade To Black" so much. That A solo is as wonderful as a world wave, but when can you record it? It’s really inconvenient to listen to songs through video. It would be even better to have a vinyl disc!"

Hearing that it was a reminder to update, Bian Lang could only smile helplessly and said: "This time I come to Europe to try to record it, but I won't remove the vinyl. After all, we at Rolling Stone only have this one English song."

"How about we crowdfund? I believe there are many people who like this song as much as I do and would be willing to buy vinyl just for this song."

Since there is demand, you can give it a try, but Bian Lang also made his own request: "If you can score a hat trick in the game and lead the team to victory, then I will launch this crowdfunding! "

Hearing this, Bergkamp was instantly petrified: "Even if you refuse, you don't have to make this excuse. Do you want me to stand on Tottenham's goal line?"

Bergkamp thought so in his heart, but smiled and said: "But I will accept this bet, and I will tell everyone on social media!"

"Then we'll make an agreement!" Bian Lang thought he was joking and didn't pay much attention.

Before Bian Lang could finish speaking, Bergkamp loudly called his teammates over and told everyone about this somewhat ridiculous bet.

Immediately, the team's leading shooter said: "Brother, in order to help you win the bet, you will take all the penalty kicks in tomorrow's game! Or you can also consider all direct free kicks... …”

Hearing this and seeing the players' looks that didn't look like they were joking, Bian Lang panicked: "Everyone, listen to me, I just made a joke. It's about the victory or defeat of the team. You can't be so willful." . Besides, tomorrow is both a derby and coach Arsène’s birthday, so you can’t ruin the game because of this joke!”

Seeing Bian Lang getting nervous, the head striker continued to say seriously: "Wave, please abide by the agreement between men. We are all witnesses to the bet between you and Bergkamp, ​​not to mention I hope to see this happen." We are the winner of the bet!"

"This……"

Just when Bian Lang didn't know how to respond, Bob came over and joined the chat: "Wave, I really admire your humor. Do you think letting Bergkamp, ​​a goalkeeper, complete a hat trick is a colander hat trick?" What?"

Now it was Bian Lang's turn to be petrified: "Uh! That's sloppy!"

The players are all wearing the team's down jackets today. How did Bian Lang know that the Ice Prince of the original Earth had changed from the forward line to the goalkeeper position in Aqua Blue Star? This is simply a huge deviation!
