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 510 Attracts Attention

In my previous life, as the bassist and lead vocalist of a band, you had to understand various genres and styles of music, extract the essence you needed, and discard the useless dross in order to create your own songs.

This is the foundation for anyone who plays music.

As a musician, if you don't practice your instrument or listen to songs, what are you doing in this industry?

Although Liang Liang and his band didn't make a big name for themselves in their previous life, they did their homework. At the very least, they practiced their instruments diligently and listened to countless songs.

I've listened to and studied songs from both domestic and international sources, whether pop or rock.

Liang Liang doesn't have much else left in his head. If you ask him when President Ma started working on Alibaba, or when Ma Huateng started using QQ, he really wouldn't know.

But he remembers very clearly who sang a popular song and in what year it was released.

Liang Liang reluctantly said goodbye to Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao, whose eyes were full of tears. Of course, he knew what they were thinking, and to be honest, he also missed them.

But even if you want to, you have to hold it in.

Liang Liang returned to her dormitory and sat down at her desk to reflect and ponder.

The Korean Wave entered China around 2000, initially remaining lukewarm, but it became incredibly popular and reached its peak after 2010.

During that period, Korean dramas and stars were ubiquitous on many domestic satellite TV channels.

If a variety show doesn't invite a few Korean stars, you'd be embarrassed to go out.

There was even this ridiculous incident where some spineless jerk knelt down on one knee in front of a Korean star.

Back then, the Korean wave was incredibly rampant in mainland China. Besides their own strength, there were also forces pushing them behind the scenes. Just when it seemed that the Korean wave was about to completely dominate the mainland's film and music scene, something called THAAD suddenly appeared, causing these Korean waves to be swept out of the country overnight.

The capital behind the Korean Wave probably never expected that the public's boycott of the Korean Wave would have little effect, but would be killed by THAAD, which was most likely instigated by their own forces.

Their hard-earned achievements over many years were ruined by their incompetent teammates.

When the Korean wave swept in, as a musician, there was simply no way to escape it.

Although Liang Liang disliked the Korean wave from the bottom of her heart, she was helpless in the face of the prevailing trend.

In those years, he knew quite a bit about the Korean Wave. Although he couldn't be familiar with everything, he still remembered the most popular songs.

In his previous life, he was powerless against the Korean wave, but in this life, with the vast amount of knowledge he had accumulated since his rebirth, he could not say he could stop the Korean wave, but he could certainly cut off its source.

Liang Liang began to reminisce, recalling those influential Korean pop songs in her mind.

About ten minutes later, he wrote the name of the first song, "Ba Ba Ba," on a piece of paper.

This is a song by a South Korean group called Hole, released in 1996.

Mainland singer Sun Yue covered this song, and the cover version was titled "Happiness Guide".

This piece was quite popular for a while back then.

This is the first piece of music that Liang Liang selected.

Bangbang only started developing in the entertainment industry in 1996, and had not achieved much before Li Zhenxian came out in 1999. This "hole" group is probably the only group that can be proud of.

Once I recalled the first song, the memories flowed like an open floodgate.

The second song Liang Liang wrote on the paper was called "Candy," a song by a band from the country of Bangbang, whose songs were composed of letters.

This group appeared around 2000.

Liang Liang didn't think this song was very good, but it had a great influence at the time, so he decided to listen to it.

There is also a cover version of this song, sung by Xianggang Mo Wenwei, but Liang Liang can't remember the name.

The third and fourth poems Liang Liang wrote were Gao Yaotai's two famous poems, "Spark" and "Pure Love".

In the 2000s, Koyote was an unavoidable name in the Korean Wave. Around 2000, Lee Jin-hyeon and Koyote basically represented the two most influential groups during the rise of the Korean Wave.

These two songs are Koyote's famous representative works.

By removing these two songs, Liang Liang essentially crippled the group. In addition, by removing Li Zhenxian's wildly popular song "Wa," he effectively interrupted the initial rise of the Korean Wave.

Once his record company is established, he will train several groups to replace the singing and dancing groups in the Korean Wave.

The scenes of Korean wave dumping cultural garbage into the mainland in the previous era are destined to be greatly reduced.

For the fifth song, he chose one called "Lies".

After selecting the fifth song, he stretched and looked at the time; it was 1:30.

Go to sleep! That's all he plans to choose for today; he'll choose a few more tomorrow.

Writing down the names of these songs is just the beginning for Liang Liang. Next, he will need to work on notating the music, adding lyrics, and arranging the music.

Even being a porter isn't easy.

These are all pop songs, and it will take some time to turn them into rock, or even pop-rock.

The first night session of the Haiyun Music Festival sold 5,000 tickets, which is expected to generate a profit of 3,000 to 5,000 yuan compared to the daytime session.

Liang Liang didn't even want to waste the time it took to pinch the corner of her eye to get that much money.

Liang Liang didn't care about how much profit he made; what he cared about was the reputation of the music festival.

To establish the Haiyun Music Festival as a local brand, a good reputation is crucial.

The audience's opinions should be solicited from both the organization and management aspects to the program performances.

After all, it was the first time organizing a music festival by myself, so there were naturally some areas where I couldn't take care of everything.

Over the course of two days, the staff collected a lot of feedback from the audience.

A significant portion of these opinions are merely empty talk, serving only personal desires and having no practical value. However, there are some valuable opinions that will be adopted in the future.

On the third day of the music festival, several thousand people from other parts of the province came to Lianwan.

Some of these people were planning to travel to Lianwan and then check out the music festival.

The arrival of these people further increased the demand for tickets.

However, the number of tickets will not increase, which creates a supply-demand imbalance.

Calls for additional shows began to emerge among the fans.

Lianwan TV also attached great importance to this music festival.

Both of their documentaries about the band achieved very high ratings, so it's impossible for them not to value such a rock festival.

From the very first event, they recorded the entire event live, first broadcasting it as news footage, and then working overnight to create a short film of about ten minutes, which was broadcast the following day.

After the short film was shown, it caught the attention of some cadres in the municipal party committee. They suddenly realized that the music festival could become another city brand for Lianwan City, just like football, and it seemed that it could even be developed into an industry.

Therefore, on the third night, leaders in charge of cultural products and the economy came to Haiyun Music School to watch the music festival performances.
