Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 69 Preparations for the Album
When Bian Lang and Huang Kai returned to Paradise Records, Chen Shuting had already chatted with Wang Wenhui in the video, and after Bian Lang sat down, there were two more foreigners on the other end of the video.

The moment Walker saw Bian Lang's good looks, he couldn't help but said, "Wave, come to Europe to develop, and I'll go back to the group and ask you for a signing spot at the head office before making an introduction."

After Chen Shuting translated it for him, Bian Lang declined directly with a smile: "Forget it, I don't like western food!"

"Wave, you really know how to joke. Let our gold medal producer chat with you. I believe that the collaboration between your two geniuses will definitely bring European music fans a song that can inspire them to march!"

"Mr. Walker, I don't think your joke is funny at all!"

Walker and Bian Lang's unconventional opening remarks made the atmosphere on both sides much more relaxed, like a few friends reminiscing over an overseas video chat.

Olaf got straight to the point, pointing out all the flaws of the song during recording and post-production.After Bian Lang finished recording, he followed the sound mixer to watch the post-production. The problems that Olaf pointed out were only a lot more than what he noticed by himself.

This gave Bian Lang a preliminary recognition of this foreign producer whom the original owner had never heard of. After all, taking a step back, rock music is imported to China after all. Although Europe is not the birthplace, the rock music of Shui Lanxing The history is basically the same as that of the original Earth, originating in North America, flourishing in Europe and then spreading to the world.

Therefore, when many European and American foreigners play rock, rhythm and blues, jazz and other types of music, the feeling that comes from their blood is difficult for others to match.Just like Chinese calligraphy, if any Chinese is invited to come out and make two random strokes, they will learn the same thing better than foreigners.

Moreover, Olaf's opinions on the connection between different rock styles were also very pertinent, which benefited Bian Lang a lot.

As for the arrangement of lyrics and music, Olaf did not give any opinions. He felt that it was already good as it was now, and any modifications made by outsiders would be superfluous and completely unnecessary!Unless Bian Lang modifies it himself...

After some in-depth exchanges, Bian Lang remembered the show operation where multiple versions of a song were made into an album.

"Olav, I think we could try to make an album composed of 30 different versions of the same song. If it is produced, how big do you think the market will be?"

After hearing this, Olaf immediately got the idea of ​​​​Bian Lang and began to think seriously.

The faces of the few people listening had incredible expressions on their faces. They were all shocked by Bian Lang's idea, which no one before or after him would dare to do.

After all, before Bian Lang proposed this idea, no one in Shuilan Star had done that. The most similar thing was to record three or four more versions of the album's title song, but that was because the creator himself had a different version of the title song. Based on the understanding of the market and the producer, I want to record it as a commemoration and at the same time give fans a different audition experience.

Bianlang is completely different. 29 bands performed 29 different versions of the same song. Including the original version, there are a total of 30 versions. Even Walker and Olaf don't know whether this will be accepted by the market. .

But as practitioners, they feel great just listening to it!
Half a minute later, the silence was broken by Olaf: "Wave, I can't give you an accurate judgment on things in the market, but if you really use this song to make an album like this, then I will definitely buy one. Treasure the piece of vinyl."

With this answer, Bian Lang has already made a decision in his heart. Since everyone is urging him to release an album, it seems reasonable to release an album in this form at this time.

"Olav, are you willing to help me?" Now that he had made a decision, Bian Lang did not hesitate.

After Olaf heard it, he looked at the shocked Walker, and said excitedly: "I am willing to join this project. In order to support your crazy idea, I decided not to charge you for the production fee!"

After listening to this, Walker quickly added with a constipated look on his face: "Wave, this guy Olaf may have been stunned by the Chinese delicacies. I think what he wants to express is that the production fee can be used as a collaboration for this album. a condition.”

Bian Lang didn't pay much attention to this. He just left the business matters to Chen Shuting. As long as the cost was within his affordability, he would insist on pushing forward the matter.

An hour later, the results of the preliminary negotiation between Chen Shuting and Walker came out. Hoffman Company was willing to replace 40% of the album's global distribution revenue in all regions except China with a production fee of 50 euros, and the copyright revenue accounted for 40%.

These Bianlang have no objection to the proportion. The production fee of 40 euros for 30 songs is not high compared with the same level of producers from the original earth.

As for the Hoffmann Company, they are not fools. Even if this album is priced at the lowest price of 15 euros, they can make back their money by selling 6 copies. Considering only the Chinese market of nearly 7000 million people in the world, they don’t have much pressure. After all, overseas The Chinese have greater cohesion than other races in supporting their compatriots!
What's more, there is Crazy Scale's daily rising data there, so they are not worried at all, and naturally they will not use the trick of bullying shoppers to fool them.

Olaf has obtained the original audio track of "He who has no ideals is not sad" and he will remix it and upload it as soon as possible. Although this version of "Dye the Night Black" is a bit rough in production, it is the best reflection of the current situation. At Bian Lang's insistence, Olaf nodded and agreed to start.

After receiving Bian Lang's confirmed reply, Chen Shuting said: "Bian Lang, then hurry up and talk to other bands. It would be best if this matter can be finalized as soon as possible. Although many people in the circle support you, there are also many people who are waiting for you." Look at your joke. I'll just talk to him about Wang Wenhui's affairs."

"Okay, I'll get in touch right now."

After finishing speaking, Bian Lang took out his mobile phone and told about it in the newly created Huaxia Rock 29 group. Before he could wait for @Everyone, Li Hao jumped out and said: "Okay, let's do it, Speak ahead of time!”

Tang Dafeng: "This is taking advantage of you, I agree!"

A musician from a folk restaurant: "Magpie's thighs are so good at hugging, it seems that it is a bit difficult to come back!"

In less than an hour, all 29 bands responded in the affirmative, and the matter was settled.

Two days later, "People Without Ideals Are Not Sad" and "Dye the Night Black" were released on several major European music platforms. After the news spread back to China, it was a slap in the face to Goedan Music.

However, their counterattack was also very fast. The overseas version immediately uploaded some of the best rock songs that had just been signed by Magic Disk, and also organized a navy army to take advantage of Bianlang's popularity.

"Chinese rock is not only the Rolling Stones!"

"The Rolling Stones is a band that has been established for less than a month, and the musicians haven't been found yet..."

"Yes, Bian Lang is just the remnant of Magic Disk. Compared with these old Chinese bands, Bian Lang is just a fertilized egg!"

And Xiazi, who hadn't received a reply from Hoffman's company for a long time, also reacted. The original plan to get on the bus first and then buy the ticket was completely in vain. They never thought that Bianlang would be so fast.

"Check it out for me, which overseas copyright agency company took the lead, and then contact Rolling Stone Studio, the exclusive copyright authorization is going to be faster, and the signing fee commission will be based on the conditions of the second-tier top singers!"

Zhang Lei, the director of Xiazie Planning Department, is not very concerned about Bianlang's two songs being robbed abroad. After all, they want to fully penetrate the European market like Goose Egg.He just wanted to know what kind of company could obtain the authorization from Rolling Stone and take over the Hoffman Company in such a short period of time.
