Chapter 134 Ant Nest (please subscribe, please vote)

That afternoon, Wang Zhi came directly with Yi Tong, who was very happy.The first is to come and give money, and the second is to lock in next year's Bianlang schedule in advance.

Since they sold the exclusive broadcast rights of the live video to Xiaopozhan at a record price, Wang Zhi and the others decided to separately send a performance fee of 30 to the Rolling Stones after discussion. This was the first time in the entire Chinese rock circle.

Previously, in addition to the bands releasing their own performance videos, it was a common practice in the industry to hide the official performance videos of music festivals, mainly because they wanted to maintain the fans' expectations for the music festival.

But this time, Xiaobozhan offered a huge price to buy it, and Bianlang's superb live performance will not only not weaken the music fans' desire for the live performance, but will further stimulate the music fans' desire for Xin Mang Mang in the coming year.

The key point is that now music fans have discovered a habit of Bian Lang, which is to release new songs live, but the studio version has been delayed online, so the fans' desire for him live is unprecedented!

When Bian Lang heard that he was going to lock in a new schedule for next year, it was the first time in his life that Bian Lang had experienced this.After all, this has just ended. Who knows what changes will happen next year. There is no practical significance in locking in now.

"Brother Xiaozhi, I think we can wait to discuss this matter until the second half of next year. Talking about it now is more meaningless than talking on paper..."

As soon as Bian Lang finished speaking, Wang Zhi hurriedly said: "It's not early, it's not early. Both Xibiqi and Nanfeiyan have confirmed their sponsorship and settlement. Teacher Bian, we just want a date for the same period in August next year." Music festival priority commitment.”

Hearing Bian Lang, one has to admire the brains and execution ability of Xi Mangmang's gang. Compared with the order of changing the appearance of Mocheng, this conspiracy is only higher, not lower!

"Brother Xiaozhi, you are a bit unkind. Aren't you forcing me to agree?" Bian Lang said with a smile.

Wang Zhi did not deny it, and said openly: "Aren't I afraid that I won't be able to beat several other major labels by spending money next year? This is a win-win situation for all of us. The sooner we decide it, the sooner we can prepare for the announcement. The time will be more abundant.”

Bian Lang really had nothing to refute, and was just about to agree happily.

Chen Shuting winked at him, and then interjected at the right time: "Mr. Wang, let me ask one more question, to what extent should this priority be given? Should the priority be given to Xi Mangmang for the same time period and the same price in August, or Did you say anything else?"

Wang Zhi also knew that he could not get through, so he directly showed his cards and said: "Don't worry about the performance fee. When the time comes, it will be based on the highest price in the market, and then the premium will be 30%! As for priorities, we are thinking that throughout August, the Rolling Stones will have priority to attend the concert Mangming, let’s consider other music festivals.”

Hearing this, Bian Lang didn't need any advice from Chen Shuting, and directly made a condition: "The bands signed by Rolling Stone Music, except for me, the Rolling Stones must guarantee at least three performance slots. Don't worry about the on-site effect, as long as the art director If you say no, we will admit it!”

Upon hearing this condition, Wang Zhi and Yi Tong looked at each other and nodded readily in agreement.

In terms of music, they learned from Chen Shuting that Rolling Stone now has a new band with Bian Lang as the lead singer, and there is also a second-hand band that has shown absolute potential to become a hit. They don't believe that Bian Lang is in charge of Rolling Stone Music. Other signed bands will be weak.

After sending Wang Zhi and others away, Chen Shuting said to Bian Lang: "Bian Lang, the studio has just put up the skeleton, and the results last month were also very good. I plan to do a team building."

"As long as our band has parties, don't we do team building every day?" Bian Lang is right. The main purpose of playing rock and roll is to get together to play. The nature of team building is basically the same, that is, the form. Too simple.

We just drank and talked about music, and when we were done drinking, we started playing together.You have to say that it is just like those big companies. Find a place to hold a sharing meeting and do some team building projects. Firstly, it is unnecessary, and secondly, no one is interested.

Cheng Shuting had expected what Bian Lang would say, and had already prepared her words: "In addition to musicians, doesn't the company have ordinary employees now? And basically they are all new recruits who came back this time, and they all rushed to the shelves as soon as they started. I went to the music festival and I felt..."

Hearing this, Lang felt that he had been neglectful for a long time. After thinking about what Lao Luo told him at noon, he agreed: "Okay, let's go to Ling'an Lao Luo. I will inform the band. Please contact Lao Luo specifically, and don’t organize those sharing sessions and team-building games.”

"I have to be willing to do it, and I also need you to be willing to participate. I won't do this kind of thankless thing. By the way, "Band's Dinner" will be recorded in the next two days, or I can invite Teacher Niu to do it. Go down and record together?”

Bian Lang thought about the current situation that Lao Luo told him, and then agreed: "Okay, just treat it as a soft broadcast for Lao Luo."

As soon as the two of them finished chatting, someone from the record store called and said, "Sister Chen, the volunteer at the music festival came to see Brother Lang and said he wanted to apply for an internship as an assistant to the Rolling Stones."

……

In Berlin at this time, Olaf had just come out of the studio to take a rest and continue mixing the album. When he opened his mobile phone outside, there were more than 10 missed calls on it, all from Wang Wenhui. Olaf replied with expectation and doubts. Called it.

The phone rang only a few times when Wang Wenhui on the other end said excitedly: "Olav, you finally answered my call. The video of Wave Music Festival has been updated in China. I think you will be very interested."

Hearing this, Olaf said with some disapproval: "Wang, I think I know Wave far better than you now. I can predict the live effect of his music festival. If you want to use this name to organize a night If it’s a Chinese dinner party, then I’ll be the first to say yes to you.”

<divclass="contentadv">Wang Wenhui on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said with a playful smile: "No problem, my apartment can't provide the kind of dining environment you want. I will go to your house in the evening, but you You have to promise me that you won’t watch Bian Lang’s video first…”

This trick worked as expected. As soon as Olaf hung up the phone, he opened the oil pipe and started searching.

After entering the name Wave, the first thing that popped up was Bob's recommendation: "The classic live scene of The Rolling Stones can only be completed by God as the director. If all this was placed in Europe, I would very much like to fill in the role of the guitarist of The Rolling Stones. vacancy."

Bob's evaluation was not a low one, so Olaf gritted his teeth and decided to put down his work temporarily and watch the video of the Bianlang Music Festival.

Half an hour later, Olaf directly sent an email to Bian Lang to complain:

"Wave, after watching the video of your music festival, I now regret not staying in China for one more month! I estimate that the production of the album will take another week to complete. If you have plans for a music festival in the future , please notify me as soon as possible!

Do your next two new songs incorporate elements of Chinese folk music?Especially the last closing song, I personally think it is simply amazing. If you can wait, I hope you can leave the recording work to me so that I can have a chance to experience Chinese national music up close! "

It was already a day after Bian Lang saw this email. Thinking about Olaf's proposal and his requirements for equipment, Bian Lang made another small plan to burn money.

……

Three days later, all the 20 or so people from Rolling Stone Music set off to Ling'an in an orderly manner.

In order to make it easier for everyone to travel together, Lao Luo and Dong Youbian's family did not drive and took the bus with them.

Dong You, who had "recovered" his cell phone, briefly greeted Bian Lang as he got on the bus, and then went to the back row of the bus.That somewhat evasive attitude made Bian Lang, the "benefactor" who helped him pick up the phone, a little confused.

Everyone was very drunk that night, and no one cared about it or scrutinized the details of the matter. Probably only Russell Ping had some concerns after knowing the cause and effect of the matter.

Kapok, who got on the bus last, saw that Dong You was sitting in the last row alone, so he took the initiative to sit there. It took more than 3 hours along the way. I don’t know what the two of them talked about. Anyway, when they got off the bus, Dong You said to Bian Lang even avoided Bian Lang and walked away.

The blushing look made Huang Kai gossip with Dayong alone: ​​"Is there something going on between the two of them?"

"It's not surprising that there are unmarried men and unmarried women. Bian Langge is written like that. It's no wonder Dong You didn't think too much about it."

After hearing this, Huang Kai nodded and said: "Indeed, Kapok definitely sold Bian Lang. If I were Dong Youbian, I would just pull Bian Lang's collar and ask for details."

"Stranger, please give me a Lanzhou!" Dayong unkindly sang this line that made Huang Kai very hurt!

Under Lao Luo's arrangement, one car of people happened to be filled with two B&Bs.Although there are no waiters, the band members are not that particular and they don't have any objections if they do some things themselves.

After everything was cleaned up, Lao Luo took everyone to visit.

The entire park covers a large area. In addition to Lao Luo's own studio, there are many non-functional art buildings made of hollow bricks surrounding the artificial lake in front of Laoyaokou.Painted in various dopamine colors, this building complex, which Lao Luo calls an ant nest, gives people the illusion of being in Morocco.

According to Lao Luo, he did not draw a single drawing when constructing these buildings. He commanded the masons to construct them on site with a bamboo pole.

"It's like ants working together to build a nest for themselves."

Look at these special structures using hollow bricks and the broken pottery shards from the old kiln mouth to create these artistically enlarged ant nests.

Bian Lang was impressed by Lao Luo's artistic perception and spatial imagination!

So much so that he felt that although the name Ant Nest was very good, it would be more appropriate to change it to Ant Workshop.

At the same time, there is another song: "Ant ant ant ant ant locust's thigh, ant ant ant ant ant ant dragonfly's eyes, ant ant ant ant ant ant butterfly's wings, ant ant ant ant ant ant no problem..."
