Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 47 Signature Disturbance (seeking further reading, seeking recommendation)

"Sorry, classmate Zhou, your performance during the internship did not meet the company's personal expectations for you..."

Zhou Ketong, a senior student majoring in art management at Dianyi, was standing at the door of a cultural company with her personal belongings in her arms. HR's words just now echoed infinitely in her mind.

In the past three months, she had put all her energy into the last period of the college entrance examination sprint, and finally lost to her fellow alumni from the vocal music department with a better image and temperament than her.

She can't imagine now that Haikou, where she swore in front of her parents three months ago that she would never return to her hometown in Dizhou, should use some nonsense to get her back now.

Frustrated, she took out her mobile phone, exchanged the floret pig for a 4 yuan voucher, and took a taxi back to school.

At this time, the radio in the car was playing "People Who Have No Ideals Are Not Sad".The four lines in the song "There is no space for me..." almost didn't bring out her tears.

She has never listened to rock music, and now she wonders how there is such a song that can completely reveal her current state of mind. The last line "I don't want to die in failure and loneliness, I don't want to live underground..." It gave her unlimited upward strength.

Compared with those romantic pop songs, it seems that this rock music that she has never been involved in can not only soothe her heart at this moment, but also give her the courage to continue to fight in the provincial capital.

At this moment, the part of Hong Ke’s interview with Bian Lang happened to come from the radio. When she heard the name Jianshe Road, she said to her master, “Master, I’ll change my destination and go to Jianshe Road!”

"I said it's really strange for you young people. Why do you always run to Jianshe Road when you hear this song? You are already the third one today..." Zhou Ketong did not make any explanation and covered up his embarrassment with a smile. .

After arriving at the place, the driver kindly pointed her to the door of Paradise Records: "That should be what you are looking for."

The sun is setting, and the afterglow is reflected from the glass curtain wall of the opposite building on the door of Paradise Records. The four patinated copper characters are obscured by this light, giving a somewhat decayed sense of déjà vu.

But at the moment, the store is a completely different hot scene. In front of the wall where the Rolling Stones took pictures, people who took pictures and clocked in have already lined up.In front of every shelf where discs are placed, there are people looking down for their own soul sound.

Bian Lang stood on the background wall like a mascot, signing autographs and taking photos. The complaint that Dayong, who was in charge of scanning and checking out, heard the most was: "Master Bian, you are doing so much to promote your new song. This is not even for the EP." Not one?"

Zhou Ketong took out her mobile phone and downloaded the only song by the Rolling Stones for one yuan on Yuncunshang. After looking at the photo of the band's head and comparing it with the wall in the store, she finally understood what the teacher said in the music appreciation class As the saying goes, good music can not only resonate with you, but more importantly, it can regain your confidence in life.

After entering the store, instead of queuing up to take pictures and check in, she went straight to the cashier and asked, "Excuse me, where is the Rolling Stones' CD?"

These words made Dayong's ears almost tingle: "We don't have any plans yet. Scan the QR code and follow our Weibo account. We will announce it as soon as it is ready."

"Oh, thank you!" Zhou Ketong took out her mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay attention, and saw a Rolling Stone Music Studio recruitment poster next to it. After seeing the conditions above, she tightened the straps of her schoolbag and took a deep breath. After taking a deep breath, he asked Dayong again: "Excuse me, where is Rolling Stone Music Studio recruiting?"

Two hours after coming back, Dayong finally heard something new. He went out and took a look at the poster, then pointed at Chen Shuting who was using the computer in the rest area behind and said, "Go find Sister Chen."

Zhou Ketong adjusted his breathing, adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then walked to the rest area.Seeing that Chen Shuting had been busy, she kept waiting nearby. During this period, she saw that Chen Shuting's glass was empty, and she took the initiative to refill it with a glass of water.

It wasn't until Chen Shuting finished her work that she replied: "Thank you, Witch, I just confirmed with Producer Zhong... I'm sorry, what can I do for you?" When she looked up, she realized that she had recognized the wrong person, and Chen Shuting quickly made up for it.

"Sister Chen, I'm here to apply for the job."

Chen Shuting frowned, combined with Zhou Ketong's actions just now, she already liked this girl in her heart: "Sit down and tell me, which school and major do you study?" From that young face, Chen Shuting directly gave the freshman graduates of this judgment.

Zhou Ketong thanked him, and after sitting down, he took out a stack of IDs from his small school bag and handed them over: "I am a senior majoring in Dianyi Art Management. I was just eliminated from the internship today, so I didn't bring my resume with me."

Chen Shuting glanced at the brand-new agent qualification certificate on the top, and said with a smile: "What company did you fail as an intern? What position did you apply for?"

"A cultural company, assistant creative director..."

Half an hour later, Zhou Ketong stepped out of Paradise Records with brisk steps, holding the first official offer in her life.

At 8:8 p.m., the first promotional trailer of the movie "Tractor Band" was officially launched on Xiaopozhan.Zhou Mo, who was originally scheduled to start the pre-announcement in August, received a call from Bian Lang saying that he wanted to create momentum for the new song's launch, so he advanced the time without hesitation.

Various performance shots of the band in the movie are interspersed with Huang Wei's retro disco-style MV, coupled with the magical brainwashing style of "Walking Tractor", the video was not long after it was online, and it was immediately popular. They are spoiled for choice.

In addition, Huang Wei was originally one of the first female stars in China to play electronic music. These children don't know her now, but among the post-70s and 80s, there is still a large fan base, so the video is also very fast.

Relying on the popularity of the movie promotion and video, "Tractorski" was launched in just an hour, and it also squeezed into the top 50 of the Chinese music list.

On the surface, the two things seemed unrelated. Because the video of Bian Lang singing "Walking Tractor Sky" in Dadonghai had gone viral before, someone started comparing the two versions.

Then those with sharp eyes discovered that the songwriters of these two songs are the same person——Peng Lei!Only the arranger is Bian Lang's name.

For the arrangement of these two songs, when working on the studio version, Bian Lang combined his experience in his previous life and the original live versions he had heard, and made some changes to each orchestration, so it is only natural for Xiaona to take the title of arranger.

This time, those in the industry who don't know are not calm.

Everyone began to inquire about who Peng Lei was, but those who knew the truth kept silent. This kind of obviously promising resource of songwriters, let the colleagues know later, and they will be able to invite good songs. possible.

And the information on the Internet is only one encyclopedia:
Peng Lei, lead singer and guitarist of the New Pants band, songwriter, and musician under Rolling Stone Music Studio.

Bian Lang asked Chen Shuting to get it on purpose. Although Chen Shuting was a little puzzled, she thought that Bian Lang might want to add a few more singers to her studio to support her appearance, so she didn't ask much.

After Pan Xiulong found out about the situation, he immediately called Wei Lan over: "Wei Lan, you know the situation on Bianlang's side best. What's going on with Peng Lei and the New Pants Band?"

"Brother Xiu Long, this Peng Lei should be the stage name used by Bian Lang to write songs. As for the New Pants Band, I think it was the first time their studio was founded. In order not to look too ugly, they deliberately created it to prop up their appearance."

Pan Xiulong nodded to express his understanding and continued to Wei Lan: "Let Yiliang not be influenced by Bianlang, and prepare for the album and the Ximangmang Music Festival with peace of mind. Nanyin has 4 bands for this music festival. Now Bianlang and the others will go Yes, I must occupy one of them, and when we meet, don't let others compare in momentum."

"Okay, Brother Xiulong!"

On the way home after working overtime, Wei Lan called Li Yiliang and mentioned Bian Lang's online affairs, telling him not to pay too much attention and concentrate on rehearsing and preparing for the music festival.

Li Yiliang promised, and as soon as he hung up the phone, he logged onto Weibo and posted directly on Weibo: "@ Rolling Stones Bianlang, that's it. Who do you think you are showing off to? I admit it. It's not as good as you, but you don't need to make a fake person to sway me and fool everyone..."

Not many people paid attention to Li Yiliang. He sent it out just to vent his anger, and he didn't expect to make any waves.

But Bian Lang is still very popular now, and he is being watched by various self-media and marketing accounts. Any news related to him will not be let go, let alone this kind of very targeted remarks.

Sure enough, not long after he posted this, there was a marketing account that started to take the rhythm.

What's more, they directly registered the account of Peng Lei, the new pants band, and began to shout about inner side waves on Weibo.Then those who stood on the side of the wave began to scold "Peng Lei" on the Internet.

When Bian Lang read about this on Weibo, his heart suddenly went cold: "Sure enough, I took it too much for granted!"

He originally wanted to bring the names of these earth musicians and friends to take off on the blue star, so that his name and works can also shine on the blue star, but now he didn't expect to be infamous: " I really think this matter is simple and hasty!"

Thinking of the names that had once been famous in the Chinese music scene on the original earth, but now being tarnished here, Bian Lang felt that the matter could only be dealt with in a different way. He could only blame himself for not thinking carefully, but his original intention would not change. .

Returning to Paradise Records, Bian Lang ignored Ai Hao and others and went directly to Chen Shuting alone and said: "Sister Chen, in the future, the songwriters and songwriters of my songs will be anonymous."

After thinking for a while, Chen Shuting smiled and said: "When I saw the screenshot of your copyright website before, I also felt that so many stage names were too complicated, and many things in the future were difficult to operate. However, you should think about it again. It's going to cause trouble."

Bian Lang accepted this suggestion, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then let's call it Hua Le!"

As for moving abroad in the future, just think about one more thing.

"Okay, this stage name is good enough! It will go international in the future, and domestic fans will also have something to brag about! Then I will withdraw Peng Lei's profile on Baidu..."

"Okay, I'll keep the new pants band. I'll use this in the future."
