Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 547 Congratulations on your prosperity "Good Luck Comes"

At about eleven o'clock, Olaf's family and Zhang Fan arrived at Bian Lang's villa.

Seeing the two people's red Tang suits and cheongsams, Bian Lang smiled happily and said, "Olaf, you must have been photographed a lot in the vegetable market, right?"

"Oh, it's really lively, and there are many enthusiastic people explaining things to me. I feel that your Spring Festival is much more grand than our Christmas!"

"Well, this is the real Chinese New Year. Many people suffer all year long just to be able to reunite with their families in these few days."

While chatting, Bian Lang brought the two into the living room. Olaf's wife followed Bian Lan to visit the kitchen. Bian Lang and Olaf went to the yard, looked at Dianchi Lake and talked about what happened last night.

"Wave, I watched several TV shows last night, and I found that most Chinese evening parties are a bit too perfectionist!"

Bian Lang absolutely agrees with this point: "Because the scale of China's Internet is too huge, everyone is afraid of bearing the consequences of flaws and mistakes!"

"Indeed, Chinese netizens are sometimes cute, but sometimes they are very powerful! Have you watched their videos?"

Rolling Stone has an internal group called Radar Station, which is dedicated to forwarding various internal company personnel and related online news to everyone. Although it is now on vacation, everyone has gotten used to it and will still post the news they see.

So before Olaf came, Bian Lang had already watched several videos from a tourist's perspective.

"It's true that I didn't play very well, but it's also real. It's better than those fake ones on many shows! Di Li sent me a message this morning, saying that he helped the school recruit a few students. I guess they are these people."

Speaking of learning efficiency, Olaf talked about future plans: "Tiger told me that the relevant documents will not be in place until the end of May. Do we have to wait until then?"

Bian Lang understood the meaning behind this statement. Rolling Stone Music was not short of musicians, but other music-related professionals. Even if he and Liu Ziyang worked overtime every day without rest, they could not meet the various production requirements of the current band.

To put it more bluntly, since you have gone from being a poor boy to a wealthy family, who would still be willing to live in poverty and rely on themselves for everything?

"After the New Year, we'll ask Dianyi and Xinghai to recommend some students from related majors to come and intern with you. If there are good ones, you can keep them. In addition, let's start preparing some class procedures... Olaf, what was it like when you studied in college?"

China's history in higher education, especially in music, is indeed far behind that of other countries. Now the Rolling Stones want to establish this music teaching system, but it is not something that can be accomplished with just people and money. Many things can only be learned through trial and error.

"How should I put it? Next time you go to Europe, I'll accompany you to visit the school..." Olaf really didn't know what to say, but he had the confidence and idea to do this thing in China with Bian Lang.

……

This lunch is not particularly sumptuous, but it is better than the usual lunch at home.

Luo Suping also managed to master dishes like fried mullet slices, which are usually only available in restaurants.

The tender mullet fillets, with the addition of black fungus, pickled peppers and leeks, have reached the highest level of freshness and fragrance.

Olaf and his wife kept giving thumbs up after eating. Olaf’s wife directly communicated with Bian Lan, wanting to go to Nanfeiyan to learn cooking.

So after eating, she went to the kitchen to get busy again. After all, many of the main dishes for the evening needed to be prepared from this time.

Main dishes such as chicken and duck need to be stewed now.

Although Nan Feiyan is a rice noodle restaurant, Luo Suping, who relied on herself in the early days of the business, had very good cooking skills. However, in the past two years, she has focused on management and has almost no chance to show her cooking skills.

A large group of people were busy until the afternoon. Bian Hai, who was in charge of preparing for the folk worship, called out to Bian Lang, "Old Second, come and burn paper!"

In previous years, Bian Hai would have shouted at the top of his lungs and the waves would not have moved. The original owner was a staunch atheist, and once it came to this kind of scene, he would not only have no interest, but he would even retort if you shouted too much.

But this year, as soon as he shouted, Bian Lang quickly picked up the aluminum basin and ran out of the door with Bian Hai.

Bian Lang was originally an atheist, but time travel has happened to him, so what else is impossible to happen?
The father and son squatted at the door and burned paper. Bian Hai was still muttering softly: "It's the New Year. All the relatives and outsiders of the Bian family are welcome to receive gold, silver, money and paper. All the relatives and outsiders of the Luo family are welcome to receive gold, silver, money and paper..."

Bian Hai read out everything he could remember, and finally told Bian Lang: "Second brother, you must remember these things carefully. When I get old and can't remember them anymore, you will be the one to do them."

"Okay, I'll remember it!"

Cultural heritage in China may not be preserved in any written or pictorial form at all in some cases, but relies on word of mouth between generations.

But these things were not on Bian Lang's mind. When Bian Hai was reciting, Bian Lang was actually reciting along in his heart.

However, the object was the original owner: “Bian Lang, it’s New Year, I’ll burn some more for you. If you have any questions, just come to me in your dreams… I will take good care of my parents, you don’t have to worry… By the way, if you happen to travel through time and space to my body on Earth, then remember to help me take good care of my mother.

You are going to be the lead singer of Summer of the Band over there, so don’t be scared! You have to lead my brothers to compete in more shows…”

After burning the paper, Bian Hai and Zhang Fan came out with a bunch of firecrackers and started setting them up on the roads in the community.

Zhang Qin, who was standing on the second floor, directed from the drone's perspective: "Dad, make it into a heart shape!"

"Oh, okay!"

Fortunately, the current occupancy rate of the community is not high, so the Bian family doesn't have to go through so much trouble on the internal roads.

But with a firecracker that explodes 10 times, there is obviously more than enough left after just making a heart shape. Zhang Fan made two more S shapes along the road before he used up all the firecrackers.

When it was their turn to fire the cannon, everyone started to have trouble.

This group of men were all dragon-dancing kings when they were young, but as they got older, they became more and more timid.

After smoking a round of cigarettes for lighting the fire, no one came forward. Only Olaf, an outsider, looked eager to try!

"Second brother, if you don't go I'll let Olaf do it!" After being provoked by Bian Lan, Bian Lang gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, lit another cigarette and went upstairs.

Looking at the fuse that was only two or three centimeters long, Bian Lang complained in his heart: "A string of firecrackers costs hundreds or thousands of dollars, why can't the fuse be longer!"

The year ends with the sound of firecrackers. As the first firecracker from Bian Lang's family was set off, the whole community began to hear the sound of firecrackers from other families.

Looking at the red paper covering the road, Olaf said with deep emotion: "Compared with the Chinese Spring Festival, our Christmas is a joke!"

"Hahaha, Olaf, you can consider joining China in the future and having a child with your wife in China..."

"No! I mean we don't want children. I don't want to spend most of the remaining energy in my limited life on raising the next generation!"

"Come on, it's so easy for you foreigners to raise a child..."

"But after I came to China, I realized that our basic education system is really incomparable to yours..."

After all the ceremonies were over, it was time to have the New Year's Eve dinner. Today, there were exactly 10 people, including Olaf and his wife. Luo Suping was the chef and prepared 16 dishes on the table, including chicken, duck, fish and meat, as well as eight-treasure rice, meat with sand filling, crispy buns, wild mushrooms... Olaf and his wife were drooling at the sight.

As Bian Hai stood up and invited everyone to drink a glass of wine to start the banquet, Bian Lang’s first Spring Festival on the Blue Water Star officially began.

After eating for about an hour, the Spring Festival Gala came as scheduled after the news broadcast. Zhang Qin, who had almost finished eating, was about to watch TV, but was stopped by his father: "Qinqin, shouldn't we say congratulations on your prosperity?"

As Mr. Zhang was talking, he had already started reaching into his jacket pocket for a red envelope.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qin didn't respond, but ran to the sofa and started rummaging through Bian Lan's bag. She took out four red envelopes and ran back to the dining table.

Then she bowed to Zhang's father, handed him the red envelope and said, "Congratulations on your prosperity, Grandpa! This is the money I earned myself, you can't refuse it!"

The royalties Zhang Qin earned from singing "The Bugs Are Flying" last year were not a small sum. Bian Lang never asked her the exact amount, so he wasn't very clear.

So now when she gave red envelopes to the elders, the four old people all accepted them with a smile.

Then she began to ask for New Year's money as usual: "Congratulations on your prosperity, give me the red envelope..."

As she sent out blessings, the number of red envelopes in her hands increased.

When she arrived at Olaf's place, after sending her blessings, Zhang Qin received not only a red envelope, but also a small box that Olaf took out from his Tang suit pocket.

When Bian Lang saw this, he thought that Olaf was very thoughtful. He not only prepared red envelopes, but also prepared special gifts.

"Olaf, what treasure have you prepared?" Now there was no need for Bian Lang to be polite to him, so he didn't say a word of those polite words of evasion.

"Let Zhang Qin open it and you'll know!"

In order to satisfy everyone's curiosity, Zhang Qin thanked Olaf and then opened the flannel box that was still attached to the ribbon.

According to Bian Lang's guess, given Olaf's character, he would most likely give him a musical instrument as a gift. Judging from the size of the box, Bian Lang thought it should be a blues harmonica.

But when I opened it, I found out it was a kazoo...

"Did you buy it yesterday?"

The reason why Bian Lang asked that was mainly because he had just used this thing to record the video "Lazy Bug" with Zhang Qin yesterday.

"I brought this from Europe. It was made by a teacher in college. He gave it to me as a graduation present when I graduated. I'm giving it to Zhang Qin now, hoping that she can use the good luck from it..."

As soon as Olaf said this, Bian Lan looked at Bian Lang, waiting for his eye hint before responding.

But who would have thought that Bian Lang would speak directly: "Olaf, I think you are becoming more and more like a Chinese!"

"No, no, no! You just don't understand what Europeans think. Think about the important parts of those sculptures..."

The topic was finally interrupted by Zhang Qin's shout: "Look, this is "Good Luck Comes" written by my uncle!"

At this time, almost half an hour had passed since the CCTV Spring Festival Gala started at 8 o'clock. After the two opening song and dance programs, there was a language program, and "Good Luck Comes" was ranked fourth.

Bian Lang didn't watch much of the Spring Festival Gala in his previous life. Apart from remembering that "Unforgettable Tonight" was always the last show, he had no idea what the order of the other programs was.

However, looking at the song and dance troupes and choruses whose names he couldn't even remember in the subtitles, Bian Lang knew that a lot of effort had been put into the arrangement of this song for this Spring Festival Gala.

When it comes to music, Bian Lang is the best, but when it comes to dancing, he is really a layman.

In order to compose the soundtrack for the "Peacock" series, Yuan Diqiu watched the rehearsal countless times, but in the end, all he could remember were the most amazing shots.

Apart from this, the only dance he still remembers is "Only Green".

So he himself is also looking forward to what this musical version of "Good Luck" will be like...

“Wave, is this a live broadcast?”

"It's a live broadcast, but there are hundreds of millions of people watching this gala tonight, so it's impossible for a program with major flaws to appear..."

Olaf was shocked when he heard that there were hundreds of millions of people.

But who would have thought that Zhang Fan would start to make fun of Bian Lang: "Xiao Lang, I said that this news is from a few years ago. Last year, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala reached tens of billions of people!"

Now, even Olaf could shake his head and say, "If the audience scale is that large, if I were the director, I would rather use a plan that cannot possibly go wrong..."

"This is one of the reasons why rock music is unlikely to be featured on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala..."

As they were chatting, Li Linqing, dressed in a red dress, appeared in the center of the stage, escorted by a dozen dancers.

As soon as he saw the red paper cranes on the head, Bian Lang exclaimed that the stylist was really an expert in reading comprehension!
Now that we have a thousand paper cranes, how can we miss the red ribbons and Chinese knots!
“Fold a thousand paper cranes and tie a red ribbon, and may good luck come to kind people every day…” Bian Lang had been baptized by this song for a long time in the original Earth, so no matter how well Li Linqing performed now, Bian Lang didn’t find it that amazing.

But others don't think so.

The song was first released on Aquamarine as a metal version, so in the subconscious of those who have watched the video, this song, which is known as the song of doom and gloom, should have a heavy metal background!
No one could have imagined that on the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Dragon, the other side of this song would be so festive and peaceful!

The song hasn’t even finished yet, but the comments on CCTV’s live streaming platform have already started to flood the screen:

"Ahhh! What's going on with this song? How come this coloratura version doesn't sound out of place at all?"

"Fuck! Bian Lang is really ruthless when it comes to his own work, but the effect is also amazing!"

"Is this the same song? I don't think there is any connection, but it just doesn't seem to me like it!"

"No wonder she was able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala. If she hadn't been selected, where would anyone go to seek justice?"

The audience was like this, and those in the industry who heard it for the first time were basically dumbfounded!
Ma Yuan: "What the hell is this? Bian Lang, tell me what this is? Can you play it like this?"

Guo Sichu: "Haha! I give in!"

Xie Minzhi: "Boss, please accept my knee!"

Liu Yao: "How does the original version of this song go?"
