Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Thinking about how comfortable Xu Shaonian's team was in Sri Lanka, and then thinking back on my own fulfilling and busy year... "After the LAB and school opening are over, I should find some time to organize everyone to go out and have fun without any work attributes."

When I came back to my senses, I heard Chen Shuting ask, "No more?"

"Well, the lyrics and music are like this. I'll repeat the main chorus again, and I'll rework the arrangement when the time comes so we can record it."

Chen Shuting put away the phone that was recording the video and asked, "Blue Lotus?"

"Sister Chen is amazing!" If Olaf and Liu Ziyang said this, Bian Lang would not find it strange at all, because this is their specialty. But Chen Shuting has not figured out the classification of rock music so far, so why can she insist that it is the same style as "Blue Lotus"?

Although he was curious, Bian Lang would not ask at the dinner table.

I asked Zhuang Ling for a pen, thought for a moment and signed "Free as the Wind" and my own name on it before handing the Firebird to Zhuang Ling and saying, "Keep it well. I never know when I'll want to play it, and I'll come back to borrow it from you."

"Langshen, you are always here!"

"Can you please stop calling me such childish names? I don't even dare to eat anymore..."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the hotpot meal finally began.

The meal lasted nearly three hours and both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves very much. When leaving, Zhuang Ling and Bian Lang took several photos together.

It wasn’t because he needed something from Zhuang Xian, but mainly because Bian Lang liked Zhuang Ling’s heartless youthfulness.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, except for Zhang Fan who stayed behind to continue handling the case, the other three, Bian Lang, went directly to the airport to return to Chuncheng.

On the plane, looking at Cai Zi sleeping soundly beside Chen Shuting, Bian Lang smiled and whispered to Chen Shuting: "This girl is really generous. If we sell her..."

"I think you are the one who is careless. With your fame, she has nothing to be afraid of. She might even want you to eat her up. But you brought such a young island girl back. If the photos were leaked and someone wrote a few short articles about it, you will see what the public opinion would be like online."

I didn't expect this wave of Bian Lang, but when he came to the airport tonight, he was still fully equipped with a mask and a hat, not giving ordinary people the opportunity to easily recognize him. But if he met someone as awesome as Hongqiao's No. 1 Sister, then he could only consider himself unlucky.

It was already past one o'clock when they returned to Chuncheng. Bian Lang and Chen Shuting did not treat Caizi to a midnight snack. They directly placed her in a hotel near the exhibition center and then went home to see their mothers.

The next day, Bian Lang picked up Caizi and went to the industrial park.

Although the recording of "Summer of the Band" will have to wait, the originally dilapidated factory area has already gained popularity. After Lao Mo and Bian Lang discussed it, the animation studio also moved here and became the first studio to move in.

A three-story building covering an area of ​​more than 100 square meters was built with a self-leveling cement surface, and the walls, doors and windows were renovated before moving in.

On the red bricks of the outer wall, Zhang Xiaoyu and Lao Mo painted by themselves, which is much more advanced than those black graffiti on the street. The three characters "Guorenzhi" written in a flamboyant style are even more colorful. As soon as Caizi saw it, she began to praise: "Amazing! Is this Mr. Bian's comic studio?"

"Yes, let's go in and take a look..."

Lao Mo, Zhang Xiaoyu and Liu Xiubo already knew that Bian Lang had kidnapped a little girl who was a painter from the island country, and they were all waiting curiously. Especially Zhang Xiaoyu, who was in the old house, leaned on the window to watch when she heard someone coming.

When the people came closer, he saw Caizi's figure that looked like a junior high school student and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that Bian Lang kidnapped a minor?"

"You are a lolita lover, what are you thinking about all day long? You are painting the most exciting subject in the Chinese mythology system, but you are thinking about the most tender girl in the island country. Isn't the contrast too big?"

Facing Lao Mo's joke, Zhang Xiaoyu waved her hands and said, "What do you know as a married person..."

Zhang Xiaoyu was so dumbfounded by what she said that even Liu Xiubo couldn't stand it anymore: "Young people don't know..."

"You are young and don't know the good of a queen. You mistakenly treat a loli as a treasure!"

The sound was so loud that even Bian Lang downstairs could hear it. Fortunately, Caizi had learned a few daily expressions in Chinese in the past few days, otherwise this person would have been in big trouble.

As soon as Bian Lang entered, three people came downstairs to greet him. Seeing that the workstations on the first floor were empty, Bian Lang smiled and said, "No wonder you three didn't have any concerns. It turns out that the others are not here!"

"Today is Friday, they all have classes, so there are only three of us." Liu Xiubo explained, and then said to Caizi: "Ms. Caizi, welcome..."

Caizi understood these two sentences, and immediately bowed and responded: "Arigatogozaimas..."

Seeing this scene, Bian Lang felt it was really hilarious. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoyu's English was pretty good, so it didn't hinder communication. Otherwise, even if people stayed, they probably wouldn't stay for long.

After handing Caizi over to Zhang Xiaoyu to take her on a tour, Bian Lang started chatting with Liu Xiubao about the "National Records".

"I'm still collecting manuscripts. According to my thinking, the monthly magazine must have at least three issues of content before it can start producing and publishing the first issue. I have too few manuscripts on hand now..."

Bian Lang was not in a hurry. He pulled Liu Xiubo out of the building, squatted at the door and smoked, saying, "You shouldn't do that. There are a lot of painters in China, right?"

"There are quite a few, but the better ones are basically the same as Lao Mo's previous ones, updating them on the website. The copyright is in the hands of the website. The price they asked was too outrageous. There was no intention of cooperation at all, so I ignored them."

Bian Lang blew out a smoke ring and nodded, saying, "Indeed, life is not easy for anyone, so we naturally want to earn as much as possible, but we are not fools. Besides, if the serialized content is put on paper media, it will lack competitiveness and appeal. This time I went to the island country to visit the headquarters of Comic Aliv. Apart from anything else, their accumulation is really strong enough. There are so many paper journals in the exhibition hall that I can't count them..."

"When computers and the Internet first became popular, we all hoped that the benefits of the Internet would quickly benefit our publishing industry. But now looking back, it was really a disaster for our publishing industry. How can an island country still maintain its status?"

Facing Liu Xiubo's question, Bian Lang could only shake his head and said, "How should I know? Wasn't the traditional record industry also defeated by digitization and networking? Maybe the island country's development speed in recent years is not as fast as ours, so there is no need to rush. How is the progress of "The Legend of Wukong"? "

"If it is confirmed that the book will be serialized in the National Chronicle, then there will be enough manuscripts for half a year. Zhang Xiaoyu said that if the National Chronicle cannot be published for a while, he can contact the distributor in Europe."

Bian Lang knew that Zhang Xiaoyu was thinking about the studio, but now with the constant supply of cash cow "V: Monsters", the funding issue was not a big deal for Guorenzhi.

The key is that Bian Lang still wants to insist on launching first in China. In the field of culture and art, it is an indisputable fact that many things that bloom in China are popular abroad.

Paper figurines, which may have almost disappeared in major cities in China, can be found in museums in Gaul. Folk music, which many people in China think is old-fashioned, can be performed in the highest-level concert halls when it is abroad. There is also a suona that can be played in the world's largest electronic music festival...

These things that should be cultural confidence are likely to be squeezed out in China and almost unable to survive and lose their inheritance. Some of them have even been applied for as intangible cultural heritage by the shameless Korean country...

Just like this time when the Rolling Stones were run out in China, they caused a sensation when they were exported twice, but many blind people in China just followed those who set the tone and insisted on saying black when white. They thought that you were the shame of China and they wanted to drive the Rolling Stones out of China as soon as possible.

But if you dare to get a chance to talk to the Rolling Stones, they will pull you down from the altar in a minute and spit in your face.

Therefore, Bian Lang wants to try his best to keep the first release in China. If the most classic mythological theme in Chinese history has to rely on exporting to domestic sales to become popular, it would be really sad!

"Wait a minute, Teacher Zhang, I don't think you're the kind of person who's impatient..."

Liu Xiubo was amused when he heard Bian Lang say that: "He has a very stable personality, but it is hard for him to hold back on such a good work!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"That's true, hehe..." This high-level flattery made Bian Lang feel very comfortable, and he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

The two chatted outside the door for nearly 20 minutes before Lao Mo called them in.

If someone in the industry saw this kind of working conditions, they would probably regard it as a shell company, let alone a foreigner like Ayako.

Just having Bian Lang here is not enough. Caizi has already witnessed Lao Mo finishing the last volume of "V for Vendetta", and there is also Zhang Xiaoyu, who is not well-known in China but has a great reputation abroad!

With these, she had already thought about staying here to work without Bian Lang and Chen Shuting mentioning it. Apart from anything else, she also liked the story that Bian Lang told her very much, and the background was in her hometown.

She also felt that if she didn't communicate with Bian Lang on the spot, even if there was a detailed script, she really didn't know whether the final work would be what Bian Lang had in mind.

Because Lao Mo just shared with her the daily creation of "V for Vendetta". Even if there is a complete script, Bian Lang will still help to modify some storyboards and dialogues in some important scenes. And the main character settings were all drawn by Bian Lang himself.

Ayako had already anticipated the latter point. After all, on the night of their one-day trip to Kanagawa, when she returned to her apartment and opened her sketchbook, her mind began to struggle violently.

There were 6 poster-quality scenes and 7 characters whose appearances were completely different. She couldn't believe that these were born from the pen of a rock and roll emperor.

Moreover, the tall, curvy figure of Inoue Ayako, who was dressed in a sporty style but had a hint of a mature woman, made her have some illusions.

Of course, the one who also caused her to have this illusion was a character named Miyagi Ryouta who had the same last name as her.

But after thinking about it for a while, she put this unrealistic idea behind her. They had only known each other for two days, so it was impossible for her to have such an idea. Moreover, she saw that Bian Lang's creative process was not thinking at all, and it was obvious that the story and picture in his mind were already mature.

Whether it is Inoue Ayako's first name or Miyagi Ryouta's last name, it is just a coincidence.

She herself was very glad to have such a coincidence. If not, there might not be this opportunity for cooperation. Now she no longer cares about whether she can have her own creative space. As long as she can cooperate with Bian Lang to produce this work, she thinks she will consider it even if Bian Lang asks her to be a ghostwriter.

After all, after she had carefully understood the situation, she believed that Bian Lang had the ability to complete this work independently, but he just did not have the time and energy to do it.

So the first thing Caizi said when she saw Bian Lang again was: "Teacher Bian Lang, I am willing to stay here and create with everyone. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future..."

Bian Lang didn’t know what happened that made Caizi make the decision so quickly, but this was definitely a good thing!

Zhang Xiaoyu was the first to applaud when she heard this: "That's great, if Miss Caizi is willing to stay, I'll treat you tonight. Let's go to Mid-Levels and have a good drink!"

Bian Lang glanced at Zhang Xiaoyu unhappily, then sneered and said, "No need for Teacher Zhang to spend money. The main episode of Summer of the Band premieres tonight. Let's all go to LAB and watch it together. I'll treat you!"

"Yes, yes, how could I forget about this! You must watch it, you must watch it!" The thing Zhang Xiaoyu regretted most after coming to Chuncheng was that she listened to Lao Mo's nonsense and did not ask Bian Lang to use the back door to participate in the recording of "Summer of the Band".

I heard from the students who went to the studio that it was worth seeing it once in a lifetime! He almost wanted to strangle Lao Mo to death.

Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes at Lao Mo and said, "It's all because of your lies. Otherwise..."

"What else? Why are you so interested now? Besides, we are right next door to each other now. Can't you just go and watch it when we record it later?" Lao Mo is not uninterested, he just wants to hold it back until the final film.

After listening to the translation made by Zhang Xiaoyu specifically for her, Caizi immediately begged Bian Lang to take her to the recording site.

At this time, people from all over the country who were watching the live broadcast of "Summer of the Band" were mostly feeling excited and worried.

There are definitely those who hope that Summer of the Band will succeed, and those who curse it to fail. We might as well broadcast it live tonight, and then we will know what the situation will be.

Qiu Kui said in front of her many subordinates that they didn't need to care, but in fact she had already planned to watch it together tonight. Because she felt that if "Summer of the Band" became a big hit, she might do something bad if she couldn't control her emotions alone!
