Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 384 Harvest

No matter how exciting the concert is, it must come to an end. Fortunately, there will be a Christmas Eve carnival in Red Square tonight, so after the concert, the fans did not suffer from the sequelae of the concert so quickly. Instead, they continued to plunge into the sea of ​​carnival. among.

But outside the venue, the stall selling peripherals was surrounded by three floors of good stuff inside and three floors outside. For no other reason, it was naturally to buy Stranger V’s mask. DGM prepared 1 masks at Bian Lang's request, but before the concert started, less than 500 masks were sold, and most of them were bought by Chinese music fans in attendance.

But after the "Internationale" was sung, under the atmosphere, these fighting nations who had not entered the infield, whether they were music fans or not, began to pay for one one after another, and this time they spent a lot of money. , now waiting for the fans in the infield to come out, there are only less than 2000 left for him.

At first, those music fans who saw no hope of buying it comforted themselves in their hearts: "DGM will definitely release these peripherals for sale again, don't worry."

But when the person who bought it showed off the concert commemorative logo engraved on the inside of the mask, these fans became uneasy. Who wouldn’t want to own such a commemorative peripheral? So some people began to raise prices on the spot to purchase.

However, if the price is raised, there are not many people who are really willing to sell.

The Rolling Stones and Hatter, a group of performers, are not in a hurry to leave now. They are all sitting on the stage, drinking vodka and chatting about the tour, watching the fans leave.

Olaf, who was no longer working, had a drink with Bian Lang and said with emotion: "Wave, I still remember when Mr. Wang came to me for the first time with your song, the Rolling Stones were still not very famous in China. New band, I was still thinking about having the opportunity to invite you to come to Europe to participate in music festivals, but I didn’t expect that in just half a year, the Rolling Stones would already have such an influence in Europe.”

Feeling the warmth that the vodka brought to his body, Bian Lang, who was blushing, said with emotion: "Yes, when you went to China to help us record songs, you didn't expect that one day you would follow us to work in China, right?"

"Who could have imagined it, but I believe it will be a great experience. I will go back to Berlin tomorrow to spend Christmas with my wife, and then we will fly directly from Berlin to China. The preparations for the New Year's Eve concert are ready. How's it going?"

When asked about this, Bian Lang thought for a while and replied: "Teacher Qian and the others will prepare all the preliminary work. When you arrive, just go to the scene and connect with him. After I go back, I will participate in the recording of Xiaopo Station's party. I will go directly to Yuxi to meet you. The final co-performance will be left to Teacher Liu Ziyang to direct the rehearsal, and the guidance of the other bands will be left to you."

This New Year's Eve concert of the Rolling Stones, plus the 12 bands from the old Nanyin and the bands and artists signed by the Rolling Stones, the number of people participating in the performance is almost over a hundred, and there are also the leading band The Rolling Stones and the folk legend Dong Youbian , this lineup will definitely allow music fans to enjoy themselves.

Moreover, the format of this concert is different from that of the Rolling Stones Music Festival. This concert without outsiders is equivalent to the Rolling Stones' annual meeting. Each band can only get two songs to perform, and there is no time in between. The seams are connected, which places high demands on the logistics team.

Olaf nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

While the two were chatting, Chen Shuting and Evelin came over together. They said that Ambassador Qin had arranged things for them and their two agents to come over tomorrow. Chen Shuting would not be able to leave with the army tomorrow. .

"If you can't make it to the awards ceremony in Yuncun, you can ask Mr. Hu to go with you. That kind of occasion is not something Ke Tong can handle."

Hearing Chen Shuting's arrangement, Bian Lang smiled and said, "It's okay if Mr. Tiger doesn't go there. Isn't Chen Manman still there?"

Chen Shuting thought about it. In terms of facing these social interactions in the entertainment industry, Dong Youbian's manager Chen Manman was more suitable than Pan Jianhu. However, Chen Shuting glanced at Dong Youbian not far away, and reminded Bian Lang: "You are still in love, and you still have to reserve some things."

Bian Lang knew this well, and he also recognized Chen Shuting's stance.

"Well, Sister Chen, come back as soon as the things here are done. There are still many things that happened this year." Since Chen Shuting didn't say what happened to Ambassador Qin, Bian Lang didn't ask any more questions.

After chatting for a while on the stage and taking photos with the staff, everyone dispersed.

But no one went back to the hotel, but joined the crowd in Red Square.

Dayong and his gang went to GUM Department Store to buy gifts for their families. Bian Lang took Dong You to St. Basil's Church and finally visited the Red Square. Bian Lang had been busy with concerts before. The thing is, the two of them haven't even been to the Red Square together.

Although today is not an Orthodox Christmas, the cathedral is still open all night but there is no midnight mass.

Against the backdrop of the night lights, the nine dopamine-colored onion domes on the church’s facade make people feel like they have entered the world of animation.

After the two of them joined hands and entered, there were still many people inside taking photos and checking in. Looking at the exquisite marble columns and various murals and wood carvings, Bian Lang had to sigh: "Religious buildings are really willing to spend money!"

At this time, there was a blond man in the church playing hymns and other tunes in front of the piano. Although there was no choir performing, Bian Lang still stopped and watched for a while.

Listening to the somewhat passionate piano performance and looking at the scene in the church, Bian Lang suddenly dreamed back to the original earth.

Blonde hair, piano, church, and then Slash wearing a top hat, holding a cigarette in his mouth, walked out of the church with the steps of not recognizing his relatives, and soloed in the yellow sand in the sky...

The scene in the MV, when Bian Lang watched it for the first time, he thought it was so awesome. I guess Slash himself was so happy at the time!

Thinking of this, the song in Lang's mind sounded again: "So if you want to love me, then darlin' don't refrain, Or I'll just end up walkin, In the cold November rain..."

"Wait until November next year, find a rainy day and let Dili show off!"

……

Early the next morning, Rolling Stone and others went to the airport to fly directly to BJ.

This time, Hatter and many people from DGM came to see him off. Bob handed a piano case to Bian Lang's hand and said, "I really have to thank the Rolling Stones this time, otherwise our tour would not have been so perfect."

Bob was not exaggerating. Without the involvement of the Rolling Stones, their European tour would have ended in a satisfactory manner. But this time, as long as the Rolling Stones participate in the event, it will not only leave a deep memory for the fans, but also the band themselves.

Especially the three shows in London, Berlin and Moscow are unforgettable.

Bian Lang was not polite and took the piano case with the MARTIN logo on it and thanked him: "Thank you also to Hatter for giving us this opportunity. When Hatter comes to China for a concert next year, the Rolling Stones will continue to be your guests."

After the cooperation between DGM and Rolling Stone is reached, not only DGM will start promoting bands under Rolling Stone Music in Europe, but Rolling Stone will also start promoting DGM's artists and bands in China.

Considering China’s population base, how could Rolling Stone and DGM miss such a large ticket pod?

In the past, this was because there were no suitable companies and resources to connect with them, and no company in China was particularly interested in this area, so the artists and bands under DGM were "in name only" in China.

But now that Rolling Stone is a bridge, we can officially advance our business to China.

Bian Lang's idea is also very simple. For rock music to rise again in China, having big-name foreign bands perform frequently in China will also be a big driving force. After all, no matter on the original Earth or on the current Aqua Planet, there are many fans who think that domestic bands are not as good as foreign music fans.

In fact, whether on the original Earth or Aquamarine, whether in China or in China, rock music is in decline.

Those top rock bands who were still popular before the original Earth Bianlang crossed over, even the relatively young Night Wish, were established in 96. Metallica, which is still touring around the world, was founded in 81. The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, The Beatles, etc. are even older.

It’s just that people abroad have been on this road for too long. With China’s 20 to 30 years of accumulation, the reserve of classic songs will have no problem influencing another generation or two.

In China, after the wave of people such as Lao Cui, Moyan Sanjie, Tang Chao, Zheng Jun, etc., due to various reasons, they failed to expand their popularity. Therefore, when the original Huaxia mentioned rock music, many people Everyone will say: "The starting point is too high, and it will be too difficult for people to catch up later!"

But in this life, the accumulation of these old rock music veterans on the original earth was Bian Lang's private collection. It took three to five years for a concentrated explosion, but Bian Lang didn't believe that this would not bring rock music to another peak!

Moreover, the starting point of the entire peak is China!

On the way back, Dong You and Bian Lang chatted for a while before falling asleep, while Bian Lang kept the harvest of this trip in his mind.

The biggest gain was of course the cooperation with DGM, which successfully brought Olaf back to China, and indirectly stimulated Liu Ziyang to agree to join the Rolling Stones. As for Strauss, an unexpected female guitarist, Bian Lang also liked it very much.

As an old Chinese saying goes, foreign monks are fond of chanting sutras. When foreign female guitarists are recalled, whether they are performing or teaching students in the future, they are definitely more attractive than the "economist" Li Li.

As for the money, Hatter's five performances this time gave the Rolling Stones a small amount of only 50 yuan, but the various endorsements added up to almost 300 million yuan.

In addition to two guitar brands and an apparel brand, the Stones have also landed a wah-wah pedal collaboration. This Berlin-based effects brand found out that its own products were used during performances, and they immediately contacted them to cooperate in the production of Bian Lang's signature model. As for the revenue from the release of several previous songs in Europe, the revenue was around one million per month, so now Rolling Stone can say that the annual income exceeds ten million, that is really easy.

The whole project cost over 10 million. From the perspective of outsiders, Bian Lang completed it in less than half a year, which feels quite easy.

But only Bian Lang himself knew that this was the result of the resources accumulated by many rock people on the earth for decades, and was thrown out by him alone. If he couldn't even get this result, then Bian Lang would really be sorry for his status as a time traveler.

As for reputation, Bian Lang didn't know what to say.

Anyway, there are really more and more music fans in China who are "scolding" him!

As for the domestic situation, the broadcast platform of "Thirty Kilometers of Peach Blossom Land" was finally obtained by Xiaopozhan. Because he participated in the bidding for the Rolling Stones New Year's Eve concert, how could Taiku not know what they were thinking.

As for Taiku, their desire for variety shows is far lower than that of Xiaopo Station, but they have no New Year's Eve program of their own, so Rolling Stone's cross-concert has become their main goal.

Anyway, the goose egg system is absolutely useless, and the spoiler of Xiaopozhan has become the biggest problem.

Rather than a new variety show that still needs to be verified by the market, they would rather spend money on a project like Rolling Stone's New Year's Eve that will definitely not lose money.

Therefore, the two competitors, Taiku and Xiaopozhan, have a "tacit understanding" to get what they need, and have won the exclusive rights to the Rolling Stones New Year's Eve concert and variety show respectively.

A total of 10 episodes of the variety show were edited, plus various behind-the-scenes and trailers. It is estimated that there will be more than 20 long videos online. Xiaopozhan paid 2000 million + 50% of the paid on-demand share for this. With this alone, "Thirty Kilometers of Peach Blossom Land" has basically recovered its capital. With various sponsors, how much money it makes is a question.

After Xiaopo Station signed the contract, they started selling patch ads. It is said that for a single issue of the feature film, their current quotation is 100 million. Although he asked a lot and made few moves, Xiao Po stood here and refused to give up the price.

As for the exclusive broadcast rights of the Rolling Stones' New Year's Eve concert, Taiku spent 1200 million. Not to mention the fact that the pre-roll ad sold for 200 million, it was sold out as soon as the news was released, which shows the current influence of Rolling Stone!

As for the sponsor of the concert, since the venue was chosen in Yuxi, it was natural that the Hongta Group, a large and powerful company, won the naming rights. Today, when tobacco cannot be advertised, they will naturally not miss this opportunity to promote the company sideways.

The Rolling Stones made a lot of money from these two sums alone, not to mention ticket sales. 4.3 tickets, excluding those given away, the Rolling Stones sold over 1000 million. In the entire entertainment industry, although it is not the most profitable, don't forget that Rolling Stone is a new company that has been established for less than a year.

Even under the leadership of Liu Xiaokui, a top performer, there has been a trend in the entertainment industry to post invitations to the Rolling Stones New Year's Eve concert.

Liu Xiaokui's brilliance was not enough, he also spent his own money to buy 1000 infield tickets to give benefits to his fans. Immediately, some fans of Liu Xiaokui commented: "Following the top celebrities to chase idols, this experience is truly unparalleled!"

Others who received invitation letters were not as ostentatious as Liu Xiaokui, but they still posted them. The quantity is not large, but the quality is not low at all. Just Guo Sichu's words "I'll definitely be there" made those fans who haven't seen Tianhou open for a long time go to scalpers to buy tickets.

Coupled with the fact that Xie Tianwang and Liu Yao also expressed their support, the popularity of this New Year's Eve concert, which was already quite popular, has risen to another level.

For this reason, satellite TV stations and platforms that invited Rolling Stone's bands and artists to perform this time also started to gain popularity.

There are only Goose Eggs. Looking at this New Year's Eve drama with the Rolling Stones as the core, they can't even touch the side.

Ma Yuan sighed depressedly while writing music reviews in a trumpet. He doesn't know how much traffic and exposure the company will lose because of this. He only knows that at this year's annual ceremony, most of the awards related to music may become a joke.

Of course it's impossible to award the award to the Rolling Stones, but anyone with anything to do with the Stones won't have any chance.

But now on the Chinese music rankings, the throne of the number one hit song of the year is firmly occupied by "Shameless"!

In less than half a year, some of the hits and singers who were on the shelves at the beginning of the year were left behind. In addition, there is another song in the top ten, "Rock and Roll on the New Long March Road", which ranked third, and Liu Yao's version of "Shameless". 》ranked fifth.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this year’s Chinese music scene is dominated by waves!

Thinking of this, Ma Yuan typed a sentence on the document he was editing: "I would like to call this year's rock circle the first year of the Rolling Stones!"

At this time, Yuncun was not only preparing for the awards show that was about to start, but was also stepping up the preparation of the Rolling Stones' new song.

In November and December, there were no Rolling Stones on the new song charts, which allowed various singers who had been scared off by the Rolling Stones' dominance to find some breathing time.

But this time the Rolling Stones were in Europe, apart from performing and rehearsing with Pan, they were also recording songs.

The Rolling Stones not only made up for what they owed this time, but some of them have not yet been released. The songs that will be performed at this New Year's Eve have also been recorded, and they will be released online as soon as the New Year's bell rings.

Yun Cun, who had already benefited from the Rolling Stones, was getting closer to Gou Dan and could not let go of this opportunity.

If the momentum of the Rolling Stones can continue from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, then with the traffic of the Rolling Stones, it will not be a matter of paper for them to catch up with Goedan Music this year.

As for Xiaopo Station, the countdown to the New Year's Eve party has begun. After watching several dance rehearsals without actors, Director Bai plans to persuade the company to let him become the executive director of the concert in Bianlang. Take a lesson from the Rolling Stones.

Even if the staff is not yet in place, he is already impressed just by looking at the stage effect. If he had waited until the official performance, he felt that he would be so excited that he cried.

As for the orchestras and folk bands that Bian Lang found his own connections, he thought that these performers could not be found on the website. Not to mention how much they cost, he just knew where to find them. He felt that the website was very difficult to compete with.

There was no way, the relationship between Chief Tang and the head of the Magic City Folk Orchestra was definitely the same as the introduction. As for the orchestra, Dong Shuxian took charge of it for his son-in-law-to-be, how could it be any worse?

What's even more lively is Bian Lang's super talk. After Guoli returned to the hotel last night, she sorted out some photos from the Moscow station and sent them out, along with the news that "V for Vendetta" would be released in North America.

Some music fans already knew the news during Little Witch's live broadcast room, but it was not available in China and the "Internationale" was performed in Moscow. The Chinese fans were so angry that they directly "scolded" Bian Lang. Hot search.

Among them, the cool photo of Bian Lang wearing a mask and holding roses has become the target of "whipping corpses" among music fans to vent their anger.

Various emoticons with ridiculing tone including: "Who is Bian Lang and what does it have to do with me?" "I am not Bian Lang!" began to be circulated on the Internet.

But after the photo was seen by Chinese students in North America, it was a completely different treatment.

The Rolling Stone fans among these international students are simply concerned about what this new comic from AC is. But after Little Witch's live broadcast room got the news, after watching the live broadcast, they went straight to the street to buy the comic that had just been released and read it.

When they saw the screenwriter's signature on the cover was Bian Lang, they started taking close-up photos and posting them over the wall on domestic social media. When they saw V's strange appearance and the scene where V left a rose to the victim, they started to get excited!

Then the comparison between Bianlang's performance photo and the cartoon began to be spread online. Not only did they get back through the firewall, they also posted it on YouTube and other well-known foreign self-media platforms.

As soon as this started to take shape, the promotions of AC and Amiri caught up with them. The fighting clan who saw the concert but didn’t know what the Rolling Stones look was were immediately shocked after seeing this, especially Those who have bought the V-Geek mask can't wait to fly to North America immediately to collect the book and the mask.

Therefore, after the Fighting Nation posted various concert videos and photos of masks, they began to "urge" AC to launch the book in Europe!

Those in North America who did not see the concert became fans of the Rolling Stones after watching the video, so it was logical to buy the book and read it.

Then, it can only be said that Europeans and Americans have no resistance to comics of this kind. Hundreds of photos of people buying books and showing off began to spread on their respective social media!

Although this number is small, what can support this number is the sales volume of hundreds of thousands of books. And behind this sales volume, the cross-border and cross-border marketing led by Bian Lang definitely contributed!

In this way, the fighting nation shows off the scene, the North American people show off the book, and the Chinese Rolling Stones fans can only show off the identity of Bianlang's compatriots.

Then Chinese music fans urged for the book and live performance, Fighting Nation urged for the book, and North American music fans urged for the Rolling Stones tour. All fans were urging for the release of new songs!

There is also a senior North American musician. After watching the video and buying the book, he posted a comparison picture and wrote a comment: "Roses mean romance, but weapons foreshadow death. The V weirdo in the book makes I was fascinated, and the music of his creator, Mr. Bianlang, fascinated me too!

At the scene of "The Internationale", the Rolling Stones performed for us the romance of rock and roll and the romance of revolution. The instruments in their hands were not just musical instruments at that moment, they were comparable to guns and weapons! If I were to define a theme for their show, I think it should be called Guns N' Roses! "
