Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 483 Reflection
"What's the band's summer?" This question in Europe is also a question of concern to the music fans present.

But no matter whether it was from Chen Shuting or Bian Lang, they didn't get any answer.

After throwing out a pick again, Bian Lang handed over the scene to a few girls.

Without a guitarist, Yang Meng and Strauss took over, so Compass became the finale of the show.

Because the performance was still going on, Bian Lang didn't encounter much obstruction on his way back to the small private room. Not many people asked for autographs and photos, and everyone was satisfied as long as they were not excessive.

But he didn't expect that just as he was about to knock on the door and go in, his shoulder was tapped by someone from behind, and the voice saying hello was a bit familiar: "Hello, Teacher Bian, I'd like to excuse you, I feel strange..."

When he heard that they were here to talk about cooperation with Xibiqi, Bian Lang thought for a moment and said to Yang Guanlei: "Leave your contact information first, because the uncertainty of this matter is too great, and it is difficult to talk clearly in a sentence or two."

This was Yang Guanlei's purpose. He wanted to get the contact information first, and then find time to talk in detail later.

But after adding WeChat and he was about to leave, Bian Lang asked, "Did you say the wrong song title just now?"

Yang Guanlei did not admit it immediately. In his imagination, the lights on the audience side were darker. The scene was so chaotic at the time, and his position was not in front. It was impossible for Bian Lang to see his face clearly.

If it is a high-value craft beer, you don’t need to think too much about transportation costs.

Before Ou Lu could speak, he introduced Chen Shuting: "Sister Chen, this brother wants to talk to us about Xibiqi. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Sister Chen, this is...brother, what is your name?"

Seeing Bian Lang at the door, he wanted to say hello and sit there for a while. But after seeing Yang Guanlei, he felt a little bad.

Hearing this, Chen Shuting started to get serious. During this period of time at BJ, in addition to handling various related businesses of Rolling Stone's management, she also gained a lot of in-depth understanding of beer.

Even after he paused for a moment, Bian Lang, who was only 80% sure at first, was now basically sure it was him.

"It's okay. You're not the first, and you won't be the last. Let's talk later!" After Bian Lang finished saying hello and turned around, he said belatedly: "Teacher Bian, I can take a photo with you." "?"

His ability to remember people is the same as Bian Lang's ability to listen to voices. Although he only glanced at it briefly yesterday, due to the special circumstances, he remembered it quite clearly.

Just after the two of them took the mugshot with Yang Guanlei's mobile phone, the door behind them suddenly opened. I saw Ou Lu walking out of it, followed by Chen Shuting who got up to see someone off.

"It's convenient, how can it be inconvenient?" Chen Shuting immediately understood what Bian Lang meant, and then said to Ou Lu: "Mr. Ou, then I won't send you down."

Bian Lang didn't expect that this big businessman would be so thick-skinned. He felt that he was just about to write the words "face to face" on his face.

But he underestimated a musician's ear, especially Bian Lang's.

Chen Shuting just thought that Bian Lang had just roped in a music fan to support her, but who knew that after coming in, Bian Lang would actually talk about it seriously.

"Yang Guanlei, our family is engaged in warehousing and logistics in BJ, over there in Daxing..."

Bian Lang didn't even say a word, he just nodded and said hello and led Yang Guanlei into the small private room.

"Okay!"

The moment the door closed, Ou Lu resisted the urge to curse and walked out of Jingwei Reclamation with a dark face.

As for Yang Guanlei, he was still a little unresponsive. He just had a rough idea and didn’t prepare or plan anything. How could he just...

But for ration wines with a wholesale price of less than 10 yuan, such as Xibiqi, the general factory sales radius is 500 kilometers. Once this value is exceeded, it will be at a disadvantage in the competition with local beers.

Looking at Bian Lang's half-smiling expression, Yang Guanlei smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

Among them, warehousing and logistics are a very important part. It is no exaggeration to say that the freight cost of Xibiqi from Yunnan Province to BJ is almost the same as the production cost. This is also a huge barrier that restricts the expansion of all local beer companies.

Since the Yang Guanlei family is doing this, the hardware conditions are quite in line with the requirements for cooperation.

But who knew he went on to say: "I'm familiar with the managers of many nightclubs in BJ. If I take out all my stored wine, I guess I can drink for half a year without any problem."

Chen Shuting became even more interested this time. Although Xibiqi is currently positioned as a beer for ordinary people, it may not be suitable for entering a big nightclub.

But the experimental production of Rolling Stone Craft Brewing is already underway, and by then the rich second generation’s connections will be put to use.

As for small bars and Live, which are now more in line with Xibiqi's consumption scenarios, Chen Shuting feels that the social skills of this rich second generation are definitely better than those of Hu Chen and Li Hao, who just want to protect their own three-acre land. The person must be suitable.

During this time, she also made friends with many live bosses in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. With the live tour of Rolling Stone's band, it was not difficult to quickly open up the situation.

After thinking about this clearly, she said: "We are now the BJ agent of Xibiqi. If Mr. Yang is interested in cooperating, we can have more contact and chat..."

Yang Guanlei initially wanted to get to know the person in charge of Xibiqi through Bianlang, but he didn't expect that BJ's agency rights were in their hands.

Then the next thing seems to be much easier to handle.

While he and Chen Shuting were chatting, Dong You was chatting with Bian Lang about her preparations for this year's tour.

"Manman suggested that I hold a concert in a large venue this year. What do you think?"

Bian Lang is actually very conflicted about his girlfriend.

He didn't want to interfere too much and make Dong Youbian lose a lot of her original things, but he also didn't want her to take too many detours.

If we compare the development paths of several folk music tycoons from the original Earth, the results of holding too large a concert will be worrying, and the backlash of word-of-mouth will lead to many things.

Even Bian Lang, a two-generation rocker, can't think of a solution to the existence of scalpers who can't be defeated by forced real names. But if you hear the slogan "DaMai is out of business" at your own concert, it should be quite sad.

"Let's open a large one in Spring City. Find a larger indoor venue. Folk music is still not suitable for open-air venues. In other places, I suggest opening more small Lives, 3 or 5 in a city..."

Dong Youbian understood and agreed with the first point, but she was a little confused by Bian Lang's intention with the last point: "Why did you just leave Chuncheng..."

"We do it on our own territory. No matter how big the venue is, we know it well... Once we go out, it will be difficult to control. Think about what happened during the awards ceremony." There are also things like pillar tickets and zero-degree tickets. Although Lang had never heard of it on Water Blue Star, he estimated that there must be one.

When it comes to the award ceremony, Dong Youbian is of course still frightened. Although it is a thousand words, sometimes this matter is really beyond their control.

But no matter how much the blame is, they will still have to bear it. It happened on the original earth. A certain folk music leader started a tour at the stadium. Damai showed that the tickets were sold out. However, when he arrived at the venue, not even half of the seats were filled.

When I opened the seafood market, I saw all the high-priced tickets.

It's also because the boss himself has a strong character and handles things in such a way that music fans can't find fault with him, so he doesn't get the bad reputation of cutting leeks by the media.

But as a singer, having a large-scale tour is a milestone dream. Dong Youbian was no exception, so in the end she said a little stubbornly: "Then I will discuss it with Manman and Sister Chen. We will not consider the large outfield and find a suitable larger infield. When the time comes, I want to have as many musicians in the company run with me as possible.”

Seeing her resolute look, Bian Lang didn't try to persuade her any more, but Dong Youbian still noticed her slight sigh.

So before Bian Lang could say anything, Dong Youbian said first: "Mr. Bian, I know you are doing this for my own good. But I am a musician. Whether it is snow or vegetables, I want to go for a walk." !”

The rest of the words were fine, but the sentence about "I am a musician" gave Bian Lang a hard blow in the heart.

He has been a rocker for two generations, but in the past six months, he now realizes that he no longer seems so pure. He is becoming less and less like a musician, but relying on the experiences and experiences in his previous life, he only chooses the right things or things that are beneficial to him to do.

Although it is said that this is all for the Rolling Stones, to promote the music of the original earth, and to support the nearly 100 people under his command. But for Bian Lang himself, such a time-travel without any surprises and copying all successful experiences would be too boring and un-rock-and-roll.

Now that I have traveled through time, I can still make the music I like, and there are still so many classic works from the original Earth in my mind.

So why should we strive to be perfect in everything and be a saint who cannot make mistakes?

After thinking this through, Bian Lang drank the beer in his glass and said, "You can do whatever you want. I won't interfere with anything other than music."

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly..."

"I'm also a musician. From now on, I'll leave business matters to Sister Chen as much as possible. I'll focus more on music."

Chen Shuting had just finished chatting with Yang Guanlei. After hearing this sentence, she was a little surprised: "No, you just want to be a hands-off shopkeeper?"

"Sister Chen, it's boring for you to say that. Isn't the most important thing about a music company is its work? I'll take care of this part, and I'll leave the rest to you.

In the future, whether it is variety shows, music festivals, or tours, I will only mention a big idea and leave the rest to you to think about. "

Bian Lang suddenly said this, which made Chen Shuting a little confused about how to respond.

Although they have been together for half a year, they understand each other's work habits very well.

But some of the principles Bian Lang adheres to are still difficult for Chen Shuting, as an agent, to understand.

Just like the songs in the music library, any normal company would have already offered them to the one with the highest price.

Who would be like Bian Lang depends entirely on his own judgment, although it was later proven that Bian Lang's choice was basically correct.

But from an economic point of view, you will definitely earn more by changing the method.

"Okay, then tell me now, how much do you plan to participate in "Summer of the Band"?"

Chen Shuting originally thought that Bian Lang would have to think carefully before giving the answer, but who would have thought that Bian Lang would just say: "Of course I will bring a band to compete! Anyway, the general direction is to have more than 30 bands, and finally a TOP5 will be decided." . For the specific schedule, let’s find the screenwriter and director team, and I’ll just go through the plan one last time..."

Although Bian Lang did not go into more details, Yang Guanlei was able to extract key words from this information.

"Teacher Bian, do you mean that the Rolling Stones are going to put on a band variety show this year? Then, are we, Xi Biqi, the main sponsor... Are the Rolling Stones still short of funds? Teacher Bian, don't worry, I will only invest money and not talk too much. I'm just going to make some money with you."

Bian Lang changed roles very quickly. Since he said he didn't care, he directly passed the blame to Chen Shuting: "Just talk to Sister Chen..."

They were chatting lively above, but Dayong and the others below were also annoyed by questions from people in the circle.

Of course they knew about this plan, but they knew very well that it was impossible for the Rolling Stones to participate, because with the current reputation and status of the Rolling Stones, participating would bring too much trouble to the program team.

But they really want to go, especially Dayong: "Let's wait until the company informs us about this. We only know that there will be a band competition variety show, but we don't know how to operate it specifically..."

After hearing this, Luo Lin and Dayong bumped into each other and asked: "Then you Rolling Stones can't participate, right?"

"I guess we can't! If you say that we perform well and win the championship, someone will say something shady. If we don't win, people will say that our Rolling Stones are no longer good..."

Hearing Dayong's tone, Luo Lin knew that this guy had an idea, and then he started to encourage: "Otherwise, if you look at this, I think that as long as Bian Lang, the lead singer of this dirty face, is replaced, then everyone can Did you go to the show?"

As soon as these words came out, before Dayong could react, Huang Kai was the first to express his position: "Brother Luo, do you mean that you will team up with us and then go to do new pants or hedgehogs?"

"That's what I mean!" Luo Lin didn't hide it and admitted it directly.

"What about the Locust Band?" Dili added.

"First, our previous songs were fine underground and at music festivals, but if we want to put them on a variety show, I think it's too risky. Second, they don't support Qiangqiang!"

Although Luo Lin has not discussed this matter with his brothers, in fact, in the past few years, music variety shows have come to them, and the final votes were overwhelmingly against it, so he thought that if he could join a Rolling Stones band as an individual to participate in variety shows .

If he can succeed this time, he will have the confidence to persuade his brothers to write something that is relatively more acceptable to the public, and then participate in the next variety show.

He has thought very clearly that some things cannot be left to Bian Lang and the Rolling Stones alone. Old guys like them must also stand up and set an example. Only then can the reputation of Chinese Rock and Roll being mentioned by Bian Lang continue forever!
"Okay, I'll ask Bian Lang later. All he needs to do is nod his head!"

"Why do you need him to nod? Let's just say he's been 'fired'..." While everyone was joking, Dayong sent his thoughts directly to Bian Lang.

Within a few minutes, Bian Lang came down, and then said to them with a smile: "What a bunch of white-eyed wolves, they are thinking of firing me now! But I think this matter is okay, how to cooperate with Brother Lin, please let your agent Just go to Sister Chen to discuss it, but before you say anything ugly, the copyright of the band’s songs can only stay with the Rolling Stones!”

Luo Lin was not a good person either, so he immediately had a chat with Bian Lang: "Okay, I'm almost 60, I can do something for China Rock now while I can do it, and I can brag when I can't sing anymore." Be louder!"

"Okay, let's just call the band name Faces. I'm afraid if I add it dirty, it will be submitted for review..."

Before he finished speaking, Dayong interrupted: "What about Little Plum?"

"Don't worry about it now. We'll change it when we go on the show. I asked my brother-in-law to help register this name!"

Hearing this, the people at the table fell into a brief silence. In the end, it was Luo Lin who took the lead to break the silence: "Bian Lang, you are still the best!"
