Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 533 Follow Bian Lang to Eat Meat

About half an hour later, You Xuefeng, who was socializing, was watching the video on his mobile phone. He felt excited but also a little regretful.

"Based on the idea of ​​Bian Lang's new song, if it had been released a few months earlier, we would have selected it for the Spring Festival Gala!"

Just as he was thinking that, a phone call came in. When he saw the number was Wu Hao, he stood up, apologized to his deskmate, and then went out to answer the call.

"Director Wu, you're calling me at this hour. Do you have any instructions?"

"Are you free to talk? If you are, I want to ask you something!"

"Director Wu, please speak!"

"Did you listen to the song that Bian Lang just brought out at their Nan Fei Yan headquarters? How much do you think is a reasonable price to pay for the copyright of his song?"

After hearing this question, You Xuefeng didn't dare to speak casually.

Firstly, he didn't understand what Wu Hao's real intention was in asking that question; secondly, the song was sung at the Nanfeiyan main store, and he wasn't sure whether Bian Lang also intended to use the song to promote his own store.

If it's the same as "Fried Chicken", then the copyright has nothing to do with money.

After sorting out his thoughts, You Xuefeng spoke carefully: "Director Wu, there is really no accurate number for this kind of thing. But if it is the market price of Bian Lang's songs, I can give you a number for reference..."

Wu Hao on the other end of the phone was not surprised when he heard the price quoted by You Xuefeng. He even thought that the price was a bit low.

He also thought of what You Xuefeng thought of, but in his opinion, this song can definitely be used as a tourism promotion song for the entire Yunnan Province!
Although he is only the head of the city's propaganda department, some things he does in advance will definitely bring more benefits in the future.

After pondering for a while, he said to You Xuefeng: "Tai You, could you please find some time in your personal capacity to invite Bian Lang out for a cup of tea and a chat before the New Year?"

Hearing that it wasn't a meal, You Xuefeng felt more confident: "Okay, I'll try my best. Director Wu also knows that Bian Lang is very busy now. Before the New Year, he will be extremely busy!"

"I understand this. Even if we can't make an appointment, you can at least convey my message to me!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Hao started to think about it in his mind.

In addition to the netizens' encouragement, he also felt that this idea was particularly suitable. Moreover, the market price of the songwriter Bian Lang, who he consulted, was completely within their affordable range.

You know, four or five years ago, a famous person came to write a calligraphy for me. He said it was a gift, but he actually gave me more than 700 yuan in private.

But as for the calligraphy, even the tour guides are too lazy to introduce it now.

Bian Lang’s price is about one-fifth of this one’s, but in terms of publicity effect, there is no comparison with Bian Lang’s current popularity.

……

Looking at the Nanfeiyan main store, Bian Lang had already finished singing and left the stage.

Ke Jin, who gained nearly 3 followers, finally got the chance to take a photo with Bian Lang, which made the Chuncheng netizens in the live broadcast room envious:

"I go to the snack street store at least three times a month to wait for the edge, and I met you, an outsider, on my first visit to the main store!"

“The most important thing is that I even saw them singing the new song live!”

“It looks like I’ll have to check in at the main store in the future!”

"Haha, it's 1 kilometer away from me. I'll be there now."

When Luo Suping finished her business and returned to the main store at 9 o'clock, she was surprised to see the abnormally long queue outside.

After entering the store and asking, she found out that it was her son who was casting a spell. She took a bottle of Matsutake wine and rushed to the private room where Bian Lang and the others were.

She came in at the right time. The adults had just finished their rice noodles and were about to start drinking.

Seeing the proprietress come to toast them personally, the four elderly people in the Chen family were a little flattered.

No matter how famous Bian Lang is, he is just a work-related friend of Chen Shuting. Now that even Bian Lang's mother is here, the situation is completely different.

Chen Shuting's father was also a man of good manners. He immediately finished the beer in the glass and replaced it with a small cup of wine soaked in matsutake mushrooms.

Seeing the old people chatting happily, Chen Shuting once again said to Bian Lang: "Thank you, Bian Lang..."

"Sister Chen, what are you talking about? I lured your family to Chuncheng. If you weren't here for the past six months, the company's external affairs would definitely be a mess. Your family is coming for the New Year, so you must have dinner with them!"

"I won't say more, it's all in the wine!" After saying that, Chen Shuting picked up the red wine glass and drank it all.

The two chatted for a while, and then Luo Suping came over. After drinking with Chen Shuting, she said to Bian Lang, "Second Brother, I saw the video. The song "Distant Guests, Please Stay" is very appropriate. If we want to continue to perform it according to your company's regulations, how should we handle the copyright?"

Chen Shuting knew why Luo Suping asked this question in front of her, so before Bian Lang could speak, she said, "Auntie, we are talking about different things. Bian Lang wrote this song for Nan Feiyan. I'll let the actors go to the company to learn it after the arrangement is done."

Bian Lang followed up Chen Shuting's words and continued, "Mom, is your mobility as an actor high?"

Luo Suping had nothing to hide from her son: "This line of work is all about youth. Did you notice the one doing the solo dance just now? She's a Wa girl who was brought out of the village by the dance troupe at the age of 15. She danced for 7 years and got a lot of injuries. She couldn't compete with the younger ones in the troupe, so she had to come out and find another way out...

But because of their limited education, they either continue to work in restaurants like ours or become teachers in training courses. When they get older, it will be difficult to survive if they don’t have their own social circle.”

Bian Lang was aware of this matter, because he had worked on music for Teacher Yang when he was on the original Earth, and had also been involved in some matters of the dance troupe.

He knew that many dancers, in addition to their passion for dancing, also had a more realistic problem: their academic performance was terrible. It was not just the kind of kids from the mountains that Luo Suping mentioned, there were also many from cities who took this path because of poor academic performance.

And this is different from other art forms. They start to perform on stage when they are in their teens and their bodies are the most flexible, thus missing out on the golden age for learning...

Bian Lang just asked casually and didn't want to go into details, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "What about the three Yi people who sang?" "Do you think they have potential? Then go and talk to them yourself! But these people are very mobile, and if something happens in their hometown, they may never come back. Anyway, my performance is just the icing on the cake, and there is no need for it to be too professional. If you want to send people to your side, just tell me in advance so that Xiao Shi can find a successor!"

At this point, Chen Shuting interjected, "Auntie, after this incident, I'm afraid this icing on the cake performance will have to be upgraded."

Luo Suping was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

In the past, the only restaurants that Nanfeiyan had access to were the snack street restaurants.

Because of the performances, the main store has more business receptions and tourists. But today, Bian Lang improvised a song here, and after "Dear Guests from Afar, Please Stay" becomes a fixed song, the number of people who come here to check in will increase.

If it remains as simple as it is now, the user experience will inevitably decline.

Although Nan Fei Yan mainly relies on taste, it is easy for people to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Originally, it was the business of Bian Lang's family. Driven by the celebrity effect of Bian Lang, everyone's requirements for quality will be more stringent.

Moreover, Bian Lang had never shown up before, but after singing this time, it was like opening the door.

Many fans who have a survivor bias mentality will come to check in. Although they may not be able to see Bian Lang, if the performance itself does not reach the level that matches the word "Bian Lang", these fans who come to check in will feel disappointed.

After all, the current performances are meant to satisfy diners' curiosity about Yunnan's ethnic culture, and Nanfeiyan is basically of the same level as other restaurants with performances.

Although their actors may be more professional than others, the troupe used to be managed by professionals such as directors and screenwriters. Now they work in restaurants like Nan Fei Yan and are basically living off their past investments.

In addition, the stage lighting, costumes and props are completely out of date and there is no path for upward advancement, so people gradually become tired and the quality of the performances becomes very average.

Thinking of this, Luo Suping smiled helplessly and said, "Second brother, you really gave me a difficult problem!"

Bian Lang didn't think too much about it at first, but after hearing what his mother said, he thought about it carefully and felt that he was really shooting himself in the foot.

"This, that... I can't do anything about it. On my own territory, can I... Wait, I can actually help you think of a solution for this matter."

As Bian Lang was talking, he thought of Teacher Dao.

I just don’t know if I can invite this veteran artist to come out and help me think of a solution after hearing the song he sang during the variety show.

As for asking others to help with choreography, Bian Lang had never considered it. After all, there was a huge gap between his own business and professional dance artists...

"I'll find a suitable opportunity and ask Teacher Dao if the veteran artist is willing to help connect us with some resources. It should be possible to raise the level of our performance."

After hearing what Bian Lang said, Luo Suping still had some concerns: "Second brother, Teacher Dao is a professional dancer, please don't make it difficult for her!"

Luo Suping had visited the class before, so she naturally knew that Bian Lang and Teacher Dao were friends.

"It's okay, Auntie. If Teacher Dao can't do it, Yunnan Art Institute can do it. We are currently working on a project at a partner school, so you don't have to go find someone yourself. I can help you get things done."

That being said, Luo Suping actually thought this was feasible. It was much more realistic than asking Teacher Dao for help!
But this was before the New Year, Yunnan Art Academy was also on holiday, and school would not start until March. Nan Feiyan was afraid that if this matter was delayed for too long, a good thing would turn into a bad thing.

Bian Lang guessed his mother's worries, so he comforted her: "You don't have to worry too much. Let the three Yi guys and the one with the better voice go to the company in the next few days to give them some special training and arrange this song first. As for other things, we can ask about them first..."

Hearing this, Luo Suping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let Xiao Shi arrange it."

At the same time, Bian Lang was thinking to himself, let Olaf and Dayong come over and upgrade the sound equipment...

After eating until 10 o'clock, the four elderly people of the Chen family were reluctant to leave.

After all, if they were in BJ, it would not be easy for them to eat out at this time, but it was so comfortable here.

On the way back to the villa, Chen Shuting, who wanted to buy a house in one go, tentatively asked the elderly for their opinions: "Mom and Dad, if I let you live here in your old age, would you be willing?"

Even though the elderly people seemed to be having a lot of fun today, they have too many concerns if they are asked to express their opinions on this matter now.

But Lao Mo's father was a wise man, and he immediately said, "Shu Ting, if you plan to buy a house here, you should prioritize the needs of your family of three. We are all buried up to our necks in the dirt, and it would be best if we could not add to your burden."

Lao Mo and Chen Shuting had discussed this matter. He was just trying to gauge the difficulty of pushing forward this matter. So in response to his father's words, he quickly added: "If you can come here to retire, the air and weather will definitely be better for your health than staying in the north, and you can see us and Xiaohui anytime!
Our idea is to buy a villa directly, so that the whole family can live together and take care of each other! ”

Chen Shuting and Lao Mo are both only children and have no brothers or sisters at home, so they don’t have to consider other people’s thoughts on this matter.

At this point, Chen Shuting's father also spoke up: "It seems that you have made up your mind, so let's consider it seriously. But if you two want to buy a house here, you should consider Xiaohui's schooling first."

The old man was really attracted by the house in Chuncheng. Living in this villa was much more comfortable than living in the north.

Going out is like entering a park, and just a few steps away you're at the edge of Dianchi Lake. The environment here is really impeccable.

Chen's mother was a realist. Since the conversation had come to this point, she asked directly: "Shu Ting, how much does the villa we live in cost?"

Chen Shuting has inquired about this. The villas in the Dam area have very favorable geographical conditions and are close to the city. However, because they were built a little too early, there are some gaps in planning and design due to the age, and the property management cannot keep up with the new villa areas.

The price can only be said to be above average in Spring City.

"The 200-square-meter house we live in is priced at around 300. But we're not looking at anything here. If you're interested, we'll take you there in the next few days!"

When they heard the price, the four old men looked at each other and started to think about how to sell it. This price is really enough to sell a set in BJ and get the full price.

Seeing that the four of them were silent, Chen Shuting naturally knew what they were thinking.

Then he continued with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the money. Lao Mo and I have earned money from following Bian Lang in the past six months. It will be no problem for us to get the full amount."

When the four elders heard this, they all had the same thought in their minds: "Our children have really found the right person. We must treat Bian Lang to a good meal this time!"
