Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 622 New Album

After the plan came out, Liang Kuan and Chen Shuting began to enter the implementation phase.

As the planner of the album project, Liang Kuan's first step is to contact two singers who are willing to cooperate in the first month.

According to her idea, male and female singers should be divided equally, and Guo Sichu and Bian Lang should be the finale in the last month, which would be a perfect ending. But whether this first shot can be successful is also a critical issue.

When it came to the candidate for male singer, the first person she thought of was Xie Xinyan. It was not because she had no other connections, but mainly because Bian Lang and Xie Xinyan were friends. Although there were risks for the first person to try something new, the benefits they could gain were often the greatest.

Based on the abnormal popularity of Bian Lang’s songs, the risk is almost negligible, so it is also a good option to give it to friends.

The telephone communication process was very pleasant. Without even having to say much, Xie Xinyan went straight to Bian Lang to ask for the song.

"Bian Lang, I hope the song you give me can be more rock and roll. It would be even better if it could be a Cantonese song..."

There are many conditions, but this kind of direct communication between acquaintances is what Bian Lang likes most.

If someone is like some A, who is an amateur and guides the experts, the other person will just say to him: "Say goodbye!"

Bian Lang remembered hearing a joke from Dr. Pang in his previous life on Earth. It said that someone had asked him to do a graphic design and wanted something called "colorful black". Dr. Pang immediately responded with a joke: "Do you want your logo to be enlarged and reduced a little bit at the same time?"

Unexpectedly, the person on the other end exclaimed as if he had found a soulmate: "Yes, yes, that's the feeling! Xiao Pang, we have hired so many designers, but you are the only one who can accurately understand our needs!"

But no one expected that Sister Liu would later write a song based on this “Colorful Black”…

"No problem, I'll send it to you tonight." For Xie Xinyan, Bian Lang didn't need to think too much. If he wanted Chinese pop songs, he would sing "Because I Love You", and if he wanted Cantonese rock, he would sing "Viva". The standard answer was here, and there was no possibility of a rollover.

Hearing Bian Lang's straightforward answer, Xie Xinyan was a little panicked: "Wait, you mean tonight?"

"Yeah, if you don't have time, you can watch it tomorrow..."

"No, no, I'm in Pengcheng now. I'll buy a high-speed rail ticket and come to see you right away. By the way, did you reserve a spot for the Rolling Stones Music Festival?"

"That depends on whether your band can make it..."

"Tonight, you wait for me at Nanfeiyan!"

As for the selection of female singers, it is a bit difficult.

The ones at the same level as Guo Sichu were all fake sisters who were just friends on the surface. Without seeing the benefits, it was difficult for these diva teams to deal with them. Especially after adding the two conditions of copyright and not playing with goose eggs, the difficulty was even greater. However, Liang Kuan did not retreat because of this. Even if it failed this time, he would spread the news.

In a villa community in Shanghai, a woman whose age cannot be determined was spreading slow-release fertilizer on her hydrangeas in the garden, humming a song that was familiar to many people in Blue Star China.

The sound of heels hitting the ground came, interrupting her singing. At the same time, a voice without any emotion came: "Lingzi, Guo Sichu's agent sent an invitation to participate in the recording of an album planned by Rolling Stone. What do you think?"

Liu Yiling turned around and asked in surprise, "Did Guo Sichu really go to Rolling Stone?"

"It's almost certain. The official announcement should be a matter of time."

"What kind of album?"

"There are twelve songs in total, all created by Bian Lang himself. According to Liang Kuan, at least all of them are first-rate..."

After listening to her agent's detailed explanation, Liu Yiling fell into deep thought. After about two or three minutes, she smiled mischievously and said, "Does that mean we might be the first to try this?"

The agent nodded and added: "If the copyright is not given, this song cannot be put on the Edan Music platform. If we agree first, we may become the target of attacks by others!"

"Then discuss the schedule with her. Next month is definitely not a good option. You can think of an excuse yourself."

After Liang Kuan received Liu Yiling's reply, he realized that the other party wanted to wait and see. The final replies of the other invitations sent out were almost the same.

It is not something Liang Kuan would do to "force a deal" again. Making the other party beg for help is the usual practice of this ruthless man.

"You all don't want to, right? Then what if I just bring out another singing queen..." As long as there is the support of Bian Lang's works, she believes that this matter will not take as long as Guo Sichu did back then, and it will not be that difficult.

Besides, it was impossible for her to find a blank slate in the industry and start over...

Thinking of this, she went to Chen Shuting to inquire about the situation: "Shuting, is there any female singer who has a good relationship with us and wants to take it a step further?"

Chen Shuting, who is also her agent, immediately understood her intention. After thinking about it, she said, "As for Huang Wei, I don't think there is much room. Tao Xiaoyu, what do you think? When Bian Lang went to Banna this time, he had a meal with Bian Lang through Ke Tong's connection."

"Well, then I'll ask for the opinions of Lang below..."

After Liang Kuan told Bian Lang everything during the rehearsal break, Bian Lang said directly: "If you are in a hurry, go find Liu Ziyang and show her the song called "You Said..." No, no... Let me think about it, right, the song "When I Wake Up from a Dream" and ask her if she is willing to do it?"

"Hmm!" With full of doubts, Liang Kuan went straight to find Liu Ziyang.

She was a little confused about the basis on which Bian Lang chose songs for people, but Bian Lang's expression just now was as if he was saying something that was a matter of course.

Just like the impeccable performance of "Lugu Lake" given to Ma Yuan, and the confidence that no one can match for "Xian'er" given to Ershou. …

"What did you say? 'When I Wake Up'?" Liu Ziyang, who had been so busy recently that he wanted to sleep in the recording studio, was also confused after receiving the call.

When it comes to being familiar with the songs in the Rolling Stones' music library, Liu Ziyang is second to none. Even if Bian Lang suddenly hears a song title, he may hesitate to think about whether the song has been copied.

But Liu Ziyang would never have such a stalemate, which is why Bian Lang was confident in letting Liang Kuan go directly to Liu Ziyang.

But now it is stuck, which proves that Liu Ziyang’s cloud disk has not been synchronized with the music library.

"Wait for me for a few minutes. This song should have been written by Bian Lang recently. We have been busy recently, so I didn't check for updates..."

Five minutes later, Liu Ziyang called back: "Sister Kuan, I'm telling you the truth. How about I talk to Bian Lang and ask him to leave this song to Chuchu?"

"What? Is this song so great?" Liang Kuan was surprised. Based on Liu Ziyang's knowledge of the Rolling Stones' music library, there should be no problem with this judgment.

So the question is, what level of song would make Liu Ziyang have such an idea.

"Anyway, I think it's the kind of work that will be circulated for many years and still be found and covered by people!"

There is nothing wrong with Liu Ziyang's judgment. After all, this song was originally recorded by Chen Shuhua in 89, then sung by Fish Leong, and finally by Wu Bai, which became "You Said..."

The key point is that "You Said..." was already something that happened before Bian Lang traveled through time. The song has been sung for more than 30 years. At the concert, Wu Bai, who had switched jobs as a conductor, started singing it, and thousands of people in the audience sang along in the same manner. This is enough to show how excellent the song is.

But Liang Kuan had his own considerations. Although he did not know the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang as well as Liu Ziyang, in her eyes, Bian Lang was a god-like figure who had never made a mistake in matching his works with singers.

And thinking of the confident tone in Bian Lang's previous words, she felt that there was no need to add unnecessary details: "No need, just give me the documents and I'll talk to Tao Xiaoyu. As for Chuchu, I believe Bian Lang will be better prepared."

Liu Ziyang was choked by Liang Kuan's words and could only say, "You are still clear-headed. You deserve to be able to bring Tian Hou out. It seems that Tao Xiaoyu is lucky this time."

In fact, it was even more exaggerated than that. After Tao Xiaoyu's agent received the call, he didn't even ask what Ge looked like, and only replied: "Sister Kuan, I'll ask Xiaoyu to buy a plane ticket and fly to Spring City to report to Rolling Stone. If the company doesn't agree to the copyright and goose egg issue, I'll bring Xiaoyu to you!"

She was very smart. The call was from Liang Kuan, which meant that Guo Sichu was already a member of the Rolling Stones.

If the people in her company really want to compete with the Rolling Stones on these two issues, Tao Xiaoyu will have no pressure to pay the 200 yuan termination fee herself. If she takes the opportunity to join the Rolling Stones, then Tao Xiaoyu's future will be uncertain. If she stays in her original place, there will be no problem in being a rich and idle first-tier artist. But after joining the Rolling Stones, she will probably have to wind up and rush. Although there is a possibility of falling, the probability of winning the title is also greatly increased.

But if the company agrees readily, then they can ask for more and better resources.

After Tao Xiaoyu learned about this, she expressed her thoughts on the way to the airport: "What if the company agrees?"

This sentence choked the agent so much that he didn't know how to respond: "So you just want to change jobs directly?"

After forcing herself to hold back her complaints, she analyzed seriously: "Our company's current position is a bit awkward. As a singer with a pure voice and at a disadvantage in age, we can't get top resources, but it's not too bad. But if the company thinks clearly, it's not impossible to tilt some of the top resources towards us by taking advantage of the popularity of the Rolling Stones album.

But if you want to go further, you may need a producer of Bian Lang's level to tailor an album for you. If you just spend money to buy an album that we don't have the copyright for, let alone whether Bian Lang can write it, I wouldn't agree if I were the head of the company. So, you should go over and take a good look at the situation of the Rolling Stones. If the Rolling Stones want to increase their investment in pop music because of Guo Sichu's joining, I think it's worth a gamble!"

After hearing this analysis, Tao Xiaoyu thought about the changes that Huang Wei had undergone from last year to this year, and also fell into deep thought.

Huang Wei also collaborated with the Rolling Stones on an album. Although it did not become a huge hit, it had many popular songs, and as a result, she was counted as one of the top female singers this year.

But at that time, Bian Lang had just started to make a name for himself. How could the cost of a direct collaboration on an album be comparable to Bian Lang's current worth? Moreover, after an experienced manager like Liang Kuan joined...

"Okay, I'll go there first. I'll trouble you with the company's affairs..."

……

Tao Xiaoyu and Xie Xinyan arrived at Changshui Airport almost at the same time. Bian Lang did not expect that the matter would progress so quickly, so he simply decided to play two games of millet at a time and invited them to have a meal together at Nanfeiyan.

Seeing that her partner for the album to be released next month was Xie Xinyan, Tao Xiaoyu felt that she was the chosen heroine. A photo of the three of them was posted on Weibo without any captions, and it caused a big stir in the circle tonight.

After the singers who received invitations from Liang Kuan during the day, I don’t know whose agent leaked the news. Although it didn’t spread on the Internet, many female singers in the circle who were saying that the grapes were sour because they couldn’t get the grapes were waiting to see the Rolling Stones make a fool of themselves.

"You Bian Lang are so awesome, aren't you? We invited you to sing songs but you didn't give them to us. Now you invite others but they don't care about you. Do you still have the capital to be picky in the future?"

There was even a first-tier female singer who had been rejected repeatedly and was already imagining a scene where Chen Shuting came to her house to ask for love in person: "Then how long should I hold back before agreeing to her, so that it would seem more natural?"

Unexpectedly, before she could even finish her daydream, Tao Xiaoyu was officially announced? And her partner was Xie Xinyan, who was already preparing to make a comeback in the music industry!

Although it is logically considered a slap in the face for the Rolling Stones to downgrade their selection from a singer to a first-tier singer, they would definitely feel unbalanced if the lucky first-tier female singer was not themselves.

"No? How come there was no other news at all, but Tao Xiaoyu, that hottie, got the first chance to report it?" The first-line female singer who was fantasizing that Chen Shuting would come to her house to beg her for help cursed, then took out her phone and thought for a while before sending a voice message to Chen Shuting.

"Sister Shuting, are you in Chuncheng or BJ? I just came back from abroad and brought you a limited edition bag and the facial mask of the niche brand I told you about last time. Let me tell you, this brand has been hyped up by those who do purchasing on behalf of others. I actually had to queue up when I went there this time, and all the people there were Chinese..."

When Chen Shuting saw the message, she sneered twice, and then planned to reply to her when she remembered it in the morning.

Now she has to wait for the group that went out to eat to come back and listen to what the first two songs that Bian Lang has come up with for this album are.
