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...
The art troupe's meals are provided by the company, of course.
With over thirty people eating, you can't expect anything good to eat or drink; you'll be lucky if you can just fill your stomach.
Therefore, Liang Liang did not eat with the art troupe that evening. Zhu Mei also ate with them tonight, but of course, she couldn't be too casual about it.
It was the same snack bar where we had lunch at noon; five people, six dishes.
They had to go to the theater for a performance after dinner, so they didn't drink alcohol.
Eating speed is greatly increased when you don't drink alcohol.
After dinner, we met up with the art troupe and then took a car to the Haikou People's Theater.
The Haikou People's Theater was built in the late 1980s, only five or six years ago.
It can accommodate two thousand spectators.
The Pacific Arts Troupe has a very good reputation in China and has a number of stars under its wing. Seven or eight of them came to Haikou this time.
The public was very receptive, and the tickets, priced at seven yuan each, sold out completely.
This made Liu Wenle's mouth look like it had suffered a stroke; he couldn't speak anymore.
He was naturally happy; the performance brought in over 14,000 yuan.
After deducting venue rental fees and all expenses for 3,000 employees, a single performance still yields a profit of four to five thousand yuan.
For a company with an annual revenue of over a million, this small amount of money is nothing.
However, Liu Wen's main purpose in bringing the group out was to promote the company's singers. With so many people involved, the various expenses would be enormous, and he was actually prepared for the company to lose money.
But this group of people not only didn't lose money but actually made money, so how could he not be happy?
In the early 1990s, when spiritual nourishment was still scarce, the audience's enthusiasm surged like an erupting volcano when so many stars appeared before them. From the very first performance, the applause in the theater was like waves, one after another.
The new song by Da Hua Jiao was the tenth act to appear.
The large sedan chair was not the same as the later double-breasted dress, nor was it that bulky.
She wore black trousers and an orange-yellow cloth jacket, with her not-too-long hair loose.
When rehearsing the song "We Are Different", the accompaniment was provided by the Blue Shark Band, so the accompaniment for this song was not by the Pacific Band, but by the Blue Shark Band.
Liang Liang stood on the left side of the bridal sedan chair, holding a guitar, while Liu Yuyong stood on the right side, holding an electric guitar.
Behind them are the keyboardist and drummer.
The song "We Are Different" was first introduced to the public with an electric guitar opening, followed by the fusion of keyboards and drums, and Liang Liang's bass playing close to the kick drum.
After a three-dimensional intro, when Da Huajiao sang the first line in his deep, resonant voice, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
The song "We Are Different" sparked the first climax of the evening.
The applause from the audience lasted for a full minute when the music stopped.
The man in the red sedan chair sang one of his own songs.
His own songs didn't receive the same enthusiastic response; the intensity of the applause was noticeably lower.
Five more performances followed the "Big Flower Sedan Chair" show, and then the Blue Shark Band took the stage.
When the announcer announced the name of the Blue Shark band, the applause in the audience was merely polite.
It's fair to say that nobody in Haikou knows who the Blue Shark band is, and even most people in the industry don't know who the Blue Shark band is.
The audience still remembers; this was the band that accompanied the big sedan chair when it sang "We Are Different".
However, this time when the band took the stage, there was no trace of the traditional sedan chair.
Since the announcer had already announced the program, Liang Liang saw no need to say anything more.
"My heart is pounding, my love is burning!" Liang Liang's explosive voice suddenly rang out.
After the two lines of dialogue were sung, the game began with Luo Lin's keyboard, followed by the distinct rhythm of drums.
With the roar of the electric guitar, a four-person band actually produced a DJ-like effect.
Before the song even started, the people below the stage began swaying their bodies to the rhythm.
After the prelude, Liang Liang's roaring command to ride a horse across the vast desert was like throwing a depth charge into the ocean, and the audience couldn't sit still.
After the first verse was sung, the chorus of "My Heart Is Beating, My Love Is Burning" began, and the young people in the audience stood up one after another, completely ignoring the shouts from the people behind them to make them sit down.
Further down, almost everyone in the theater stood up.
Those in front stood up spontaneously, while a considerable number of those behind were coerced.
They can't see it unless they stand up.
People in the 1990s were still quite traditional and not used to standing up to cheer. Even if the show was very exciting, they would at most sit and applaud enthusiastically.
The fact that the song could make them stand up is simply amazing; the audience couldn't control themselves.
The moment the audience stood up, Luo Lin felt a jolt in his head, and his blood boiled and erupted like magma.
My head felt a little dizzy, as if I were floating on clouds.
His hands were mechanically pressing the keyboard, as if his body had lost consciousness and was only driven by instinct.
During the afternoon rehearsals, he only thought Liang Liang's voice was good.
But I never expected that it would create such a tsunami-like effect in the theater.
This is the real show. Compared to the grand spectacle now, their previous performances in the dance hall were like children playing in the mud.
"Oh! It's your embrace that leaves me nowhere to escape!"
After the last line was sung, the accompaniment stopped abruptly with a heavy drumbeat.
The shouts echoed like a tsunami in the theater for a full half minute.
Even the members of the Pacific Arts Troupe were stunned.
This was actually the first time members of the Pacific Arts Troupe had seen the Blue Shark Band perform on stage.
Why would Liu Wen pay Blue Shark an appearance fee of 3,000 yuan per game?
That's the reason.
When Liu Wen announced the performance fees, many members of the art troupe actually had strong opinions about Liu Wen paying the Blue Shark Band 3,000 yuan per performance.
Although the Blue Shark band has five members, each member still receives a share of 500 yuan per show.
Why do they earn 500 yuan per performance, while we only earn 100 yuan per performance?
Some actors even earn less than 100 yuan per performance, with the lowest being only 50 yuan.
But with just this one song, all the doubts vanished without a trace.
Why should I?!
Just based on the tidal wave of cheers from below the stage,
Just based on those heart-wrenching cries.
Once the noise from below the stage subsided, the announcer ran up again.
Liang Liang felt that the announcer at this moment was a complete waste of time and energy. Wouldn't it be better to let him interact with the audience?
There was a very pretty girl right across from him, the kind of girl who was gentle and sweet, exactly his type.
Unlike Xiao Yu, who acts like a tigress at the drop of a hat.
That awful announcer! He made your boyfriend last only three minutes, ruining my chance to meet girls.
"The next song Blue Shark Band will perform is 'Longing is a Knife,' please give them a round of applause."
"Wow!" The audience erupted in cheers.
