Benefits can only be obtained through struggle, especially for genres like rock music that are considered to be abandoned by the propaganda department. If there is even a glimmer of hope and we don't fight for it, then we're truly doomed.

If I were to come back to life, that would be twenty years from now.

Liang Liang naturally didn't want to see this situation occur. If rock music wanted to survive, it had to change and adapt to the rules.

Are you going to expect the rules to adapt to you?

You won't gain anything by talking nonsense or being vague, because no one will listen to your rubbish.

Presenting facts and reasoning is the most practical strategy.

Liang Liang shared all the methods he had summarized for guiding rock bands onto the right path without reservation, and what happened next was beyond his control.

Even if his method is effective, it still needs support from above.

If it weren't for the song "I Love You, Motherland," this song "Red Flag Fluttering" would also have been performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

Actually, the Spring Festival Gala production team considered having this song performed at the Lantern Festival Gala, but considering that the Blue Shark Band would be in a bit of a rush to rehearse after participating in the Spring Festival Gala, they gave up on the idea.

After talking with these leaders, it was almost five o'clock.

The entire band went out for a meal, and when they returned, it was almost 6:30 in the evening.

The rehearsals have ended, and the selection of some programs has been decided, with three or four programs being canceled.

The hotel where Liang Liang and his group were staying had some of the organizations whose programs had been canceled.

Some sobbing girls were looking around for comfort, as they would be heading home tomorrow.

A month and a half of training wasted; no one would feel good about that.

Some of the girls from the dance troupe ran to the Blue Shark band's room to say goodbye.

After spending some time together, we became quite familiar with each other.

But today's farewell is a little special.

Liang Liang's face was covered in lipstick marks from more than three girls.

"You're quite popular! I feel like you're a pig's trotter now, everyone who gets their hands on you will take a bite," Xiao Yu said irritably.

"Sigh! Being handsome is so appealing, it's just a problem! If you're jealous, I can let you take a bite for free."

"Who cares!" Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at Liang Liang.

Seeing his smug look made her want to kick him.

The next morning, the departure of those friends seemed to have left many rooms empty in the hotel, which made Liang Liang feel a little sentimental.

By January 20th, all the rock musicians in Shucun had left. When Huang Jie left, he even went to the CCTV building to say goodbye to Liang Liang.

He was from Changchun. Before leaving, he told Liang Liang that he would visit Lianwan after the New Year.

Liang Liang naturally welcomed him.

The Spring Festival Gala will officially begin on New Year's Eve, after four or five rehearsals and two dress rehearsals.

Every time there was a rehearsal, some programs were eliminated, but Blue Shark Band's "I Love You, Motherland" remained steadfast, firmly occupying the number 11 spot on the program list.

On the Spring Festival Gala stage, performers and staff from the three northeastern provinces still make up a considerable proportion, which reflects, from one perspective, the relatively good development of arts and culture in the Northeast region.

During this period, the Blue Shark band made quite a few friends, including many celebrities.

This is another major takeaway from this Spring Festival Gala trip.

Before they knew it, it was the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. During his lunch break, Liang Liang made a phone call to his family and his company.

The company mainly inquired about the company's holiday schedule.

Mu Shuihua told Liang Liang on the phone that on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Haiyun Dance Hall, Haiyun Disco, Haiyun Music School, Haiyun Small Theater, and Haiyun Music Store Guitar Factory would all be closed for the holiday, and all wages and bonuses would be paid to the employees.

She had already arranged for the company's on-duty personnel during the Spring Festival, so Liang Liang could participate in the Spring Festival Gala with peace of mind.

Liang Liang casually asked about Xu Wei's situation as well.

Xu Wei also returned to Xi'an today and will be back on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

After understanding the situation at home, Liang Liang felt relieved.

Then I called home to inquire about the preparations for the New Year.

His mother told him that he had almost finished preparing for the New Year and that he could focus on rehearsing in Beijing to put on a wonderful show for the villagers.

With no worries about the future, Liang Liang devoted all her energy to the show. They had rehearsed "I Love You, Motherland" so well that they could sing it with their eyes closed without making a single mistake.

After much anticipation, it finally appeared, like peach blossoms blooming overnight.

At 8 p.m. on January 30, 1995, several actresses suspended by wires descended from the sky, setting the stage for the Spring Festival Gala with a shower of flowers.

The first performance was still the auspicious red lantern dance.

Liang Liang felt like she had traveled back in time when she looked at the hosts surnamed Zhao and Ni.

Next came a New Year's greeting ceremony by a group of crosstalk and sketch comedy stars, followed by a song and dance performance by a group of children.

Liang Liang closed his eyes as if he were in deep meditation. They would be making their appearance in half an hour, and he needed to calm himself down.

After Lao Huang's skit "Finding the Focus," there was a combination of songs, skits, and dances...

After a crosstalk performance that didn't have many laughs, the host, surnamed Ni, announced the next program.

"Friends, in our cultural life in 1994, there was a very gratifying phenomenon: serious art and popular music were becoming increasingly popular."

After she finished speaking, the host surnamed Xu chimed in: "Yes! I believe many friends will feel the same way. Popular music concerts are often sold out nowadays, especially for many young people and couples who have made attending these popular music concerts a fashionable date."

"Next, the Blue Shark Band will perform the song 'I Love You, Motherland' for us."

The dialogue between the two hosts in this segment differed greatly from their conversation in their previous life. In their previous life, this segment introduced so-called classical music, which was actually the so-called world-famous music composed by those orcs.

However, in this life, the world-famous song they were supposed to introduce was canceled, and in its place was a rock song.

Looking back at that Spring Festival Gala now, it's really speechless. It's a festival for Chinese people to reunite with their families, and what kind of nonsense is it to put on world-famous songs, like "The Toreador Song" and "Ode to Joy"?

Fortunately, in this life, the Blue Shark band managed to push that group out of the picture.

Liang Liang believes that the biggest gain for the Blue Shark Band from participating in this year's Spring Festival Gala was squeezing out this so-called world-famous song group.

The Blue Shark band's appearance on stage drew enthusiastic applause from the audience in the studio.

From the birth of Chinese rock music to the present, Blue Shark is the first rock band to perform on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala stage.

For that alone, they deserve applause.

I just wonder what song this rock band will sing when they go on stage.

Judging from the song title announced by the host, it seems to be a patriotic song.

How can rock music sing revolutionary songs?
