Rebirth in 1993: The Farmer's Band

Waking up, Liang Liang found that he had been reborn into 1993.

After much thought about what he should do after his rebirth, Liang Liang decided not to be overly ambitious and venture into p...

Chapter 147 Homesick Child

"What! You've only been here four or five days and you're already homesick? Can't you guys have any self-respect?"

These kids actually told him they were homesick and wanted to go home.

Isn't that infuriating!

"This is the first time we've ever been so far from home, it's normal to miss home!" the drummer dared to argue.

"How old are you? Older than me, right? Why don't I miss home when I'm away? Look at all of you, so useless! Let me tell you, you should be prepared not to come home for the New Year. Doesn't this news make you feel disappointed from the bottom of your bones? Don't you feel like crying your eyes out? Alright! You can cry your heart out now, I'll play the drums for you!"

Liang Liang actually went behind the drum set to play the General's Command.

This left the members of Mayday both amused and exasperated.

"Let's put the issue of going home aside for now. Tell me about your studies here. Does Jinmeng have any complaints about you?"

"No objections, Jinmeng Company has no objections to our technology."

"What about those pieces?"

"I don't have any complaints about the songs themselves, but I feel there aren't enough songs, and that it's not enough for an album," said lead singer Yu Xiaolong.

If there aren't enough copies, I won't release vinyl. A mini-album would be fine too. You're so stubborn.

“That’s not a problem. I’ve brought you another song, ‘General’s Command,’ along with two other tracks. Let Jinmeng Company release two more, and that’ll be enough for an album.”

Liang Liang originally prepared six songs for them. Now, with the addition of "General's Command" and two other filler songs, Jin Meng will have eleven songs in total, enough to create an album of over forty-five minutes.

The boys were overjoyed: "A new song! General's Command? Where is it?"

Liang Liang took three sheets of sheet music out of his pocket and threw them to Yu Xiaolong.

The group of guys got together and soon started humming a tune, completely forgetting about homesickness.

These guys are fine except for being a little homesick; they all seem to have gained a bit of weight.

This means the food here in Xianggang is better than at home. Since the food is so good, why miss home?

Seeing that these young men were already engrossed in the song, Liang Liang left and returned to Yu Lingling's office.

Next, we need to work on recording the album.

After Yu Lingling and Han Chui finished discussing their matters, she called the Blue Shark Band to her office.

"I've skimmed through the songs you've prepared. Some are excellent, like 'Hometown' and 'Returning Home,' which could be main tracks. There are also a few other pretty good ones, but a few are just average. Do you have any alternative tracks?"

This woman is no ordinary person; in such a short time, she scanned all 12 songs and immediately identified the title track.

"Director Yu! It's impossible for every song on an album to be a classic. It's normal for there to be a few weak songs. Besides, you never know what might happen next. It's not surprising that one or two songs on an album might be unexpectedly successful. Overall, we think our album is quite good."

Yu Lingling frowned, probably thinking that Liang Liang's words made sense, and changed the subject.

When do you plan to start recording?

"It mainly depends on whether your company's recording studio is available. Of course, we hope it can be done as soon as possible! Ideally, we'd start recording tomorrow and finish within three days."

"Three days! How is that possible!"

"What's impossible? We've practiced these songs at home until we're very familiar with them. I can guarantee with my hand on my heart that recording it in one take is an exaggeration, but I guarantee a song will be perfect in no more than three takes."

"That would be great, but I'm afraid something might happen."

"As long as your recording equipment works properly, we certainly won't have any problems."

The idea of ​​recording a song a dozen or even dozens of times would never happen to the Blue Shark Band, unless there was a problem with the equipment or human error. Otherwise, Liang Liang was quite confident.

"Alright! I'll arrange for you to go into the recording studio tomorrow. If you need to practice, you can practice in rehearsal room number four."

After leaving Yu Lingling's office, Liang Liang was about to go to rehearsal hall number four to check on the practice equipment when she looked up and saw Jin Hao and Liu Wen appearing in the corridor with big smiles on their faces.

These two guys looked like two old foxes who had just finished plotting their scheme, and they were both laughing like Cao Cao.

"Xiao Liang! Come here, come here!"

Jin Hao pulled Liang Liang into a reception room and poured him and Liu Wen a cup of tea.

"Manager Liu has proposed a plan, which you, who came with us, are probably already aware of, so I won't repeat it. I'd like to ask for your opinion, since you are one of the partners."

Liu Wen's proposal is nothing more than the mainland distribution rights for the album "Blue Shark".

The promotion and operation costs of the album release are deducted from the album's sales revenue.

The remaining net profit was split equally between Golden Dream Company, Pacific Company, and Blue Shark Band.

Liang Liang certainly had no objections. The Blue Shark Band didn't have much money for promotion right now. Jin Meng and Pacific paid for the promotion, and besides singing, they would just follow along and split the profits. Only an idiot would agree to that.

"So, the mainland China release of Blue Shark's album is confirmed?"

Liang Liang pointed at Han Chui: "This is our newly hired agent, trained by Teacher Huang Jia Hui... By the way! Where is Teacher Huang?"

After Liang Liang arrived in Xianggang, he felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing. Now he realized that it was because he didn't see Huang Jiahui.

"Old Huang went to Green Island to handle some business yesterday and will be back in three days."

No wonder there's no sign of him.

"Our agent will handle the contract signing."

"Xiao Liang! Stay in Xianggang for a few more days this time. There's a Golden Melody Awards ceremony in five days. I'll take you there to broaden your horizons!"

In the months leading up to next year, there will be numerous award ceremonies of all sizes in Xianggang.

Liang Liang shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. After I finish recording the song, I have to rush back to Guangzhou. Our band has already agreed to perform there and received a deposit."

Due to equipment issues, Lü Yueli's performance was postponed until Liang Liang returned from Xianggang.

How much does it cost to perform?

"Six thousand!"

"Six thousand! That's so little!" Jin Hao was so surprised his mouth could have flown into a toad.

"Six thousand may not seem like much to you Hong Kong people, but it's a lot of money to us."

Six thousand yuan for a three-hour performance, that's really not much money.

Han Chui is a newcomer and doesn't know much about these things yet, so consider it tuition.

Jin Hao shook his head: "Once your album is released and you gain popularity, I'll arrange a show for you at the Hong Kong Coliseum. You'll make at least a hundred thousand dollars a show! You won't even think six thousand dollars is too little."

That's true. If a concert is held at the Hung Hom, as long as 10,000 people can attend, making hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit is not a problem.
