Regardless of their stance, Liang Liang simply disliked the singers on Green Island. As for this superstar, if he could replace him, he wouldn't even blink an eye.

Although this superstar hasn't said anything outrageous on the surface, his future wife supports Falun Gong.

Liang Liangcai didn't believe that a man with a wife holding such political views could be completely innocent; he was just good at hiding it.

Zhao Lunjie is a suitable candidate.

However, this also needs to be investigated. If Zhao Lunjie is of bad character and has low morals, there is no need to support him.

There's no rush; we have plenty of time to consider it.

Liang Liang left and went downstairs. He wandered around the courtyard aimlessly and unknowingly ended up at the recording studio to the north.

Inside the recording studio, people were recording, and outside in the lounge, four young men were waiting.

The four young men were clearly part of a band, and they stood up to greet Liang Liang when he came in.

"Mr. Liang! Are we recording a song?"

Liang Liang didn't recognize these young men at all. There were too many bands performing and training at the Haiyun Dance Hall and the two small theaters, probably more than forty, and it was impossible for him to know them all.

"I'm not recording any songs! I'm just wandering around aimlessly. Are you guys going to record some music?"

"We wanted to record a small disc and try our luck at a bootleg CD shop, and also show it to the band members' relatives so they wouldn't keep saying we weren't doing our job properly."

To put it bluntly, it's about using self-printed records to fool the elders in the family.

Anyway, they can't figure out which ones are officially published and which ones are underground products.

This is quite fun.

"What's your band's name? Have you performed yet?"

"Our band is called 'Against the Current,' and we've only been performing at the No. 2 Small Theater for about a month."

A person can earn a little over a thousand yuan a month by performing on stage. They can use the money to make a CD if they don't have enough.

Liang Liang nodded: "It's good that you can perform on stage. I hope to see you on the stage of the Haiyun Ballroom someday."

"Mr. Liang! These are two of our new pieces. Could you please give us your feedback?"

Liang Liang is a composing genius; every song he puts together becomes a hit. If you let him take a look at a song and give him some feedback, it might just become a sensation.

Liang Liang readily agreed without any pretense and accepted the sheet music handed to him.

The band Ni Liu has two songs: one is called "Tomorrow I'll Still Be Here" and the other is called "Sunflower".

Upon seeing the words "sunflower," Liang Liang inexplicably thought of Lao Xie and Xianyu, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Let's not talk about those messy things in the entertainment industry.

But just because something isn't mentioned doesn't mean it won't happen.

Even though Liang Liang was very strict, the girls who were seventeen or eighteen years old in the Haiyun Dance Hall and small theaters were still there in groups.

On the contrary, there were very few young boys.

If their mothers saw their daughters flirting with these musicians, they would probably be furious. If they knew that their daughters had also slept with these musicians, and some of them had been with more than one, or even simultaneously... they would probably be so angry that they would want to bang their heads against a wall and die.

Liang Liang could only issue a strict order forbidding such chaotic events from happening in dance halls and small theaters; he had no control over other places.

The two songs by the band Against the Current are quite good. Although the melody transitions are not smooth enough, they are still acceptable, and the lyrics are quite uplifting.

Liang Liang likes this one.

A young person in their twenties should be optimistic and cheerful; if you want to write about life's hardships, wait another twenty years.

Liang Liang offered some serious suggestions for revising the melody and also discussed the arrangement with them.

Before the discussion was even over, his pager went off.

The pager only had three words: Rehearsal time!

It's time for the band rehearsal.

The concert in Beijing is very important, so the band's rehearsals are very formal.

Although their accompaniment lineup is still the same few people, the addition of Xu Mei makes their accompaniment band seem like a large band of more than a dozen people.

This made Liang Liang give up the idea of ​​hiring a symphony orchestra to accompany him.

As for what others said about their band shifting to electronic music, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Before they knew it, it was the 10th, and it was time for them to set off for the capital.

At this time, Xu Wei's album "Too Softhearted" had been released for ten days.

In the first week, his album sold 500,000 copies nationwide, and the overseas sales figures have not yet been tallied.

This is already a remarkable achievement.

By the 10th, halfway through the second week, the album's sales had already reached 800,000 copies, and were rapidly approaching one million.

At this rate, the album could sell over a million copies in half a month, and probably reach two million copies in a month.

If things continue like this, reaching five million by the end of the year will not be a problem.

This album could bring the company tens of millions in profit.

Xu Wei, who had been extremely nervous since the album's release, finally smiled.

He was very worried that this album would be a mirage.

Haiyun Company has invested a lot of resources in this album, and if it doesn't perform well, it will be a devastating blow to his confidence.

When the album sales surpassed 200,000, he felt he could finally dream about it and no longer worry about losing money.

By the time he reached 800,000, he, who was never one to smile, was now all smiles.

Liu Wen decided to strike while the iron was hot and put on a small concert for him in Lianwan to test the waters.

The performance took place in the No. 2 Shahe Small Theater.

The Shahe Small Theater is large enough to hold nearly a thousand people, which is why it was chosen.

Since there's no venue rental fee, the tickets can be cheaper, which shows just how popular he is in the community.

Liu Wen's plan is to finalize the performance around New Year's Day.

Singers are meant to create value once they're signed; we can't let them sit idle. Every penny counts.

"Brother Liang! Will our album be able to reach the sales volume of Brother Xu's album?" Seeing Xu Wei's album sales soaring and that he was even planning to hold a small concert for him, Xu Mei was envious and asked about their group's album, which was going to be released in twenty days.

Do you know how many copies of Brother Xu's album were ordered at the order fair?

Xu Mei shook her head.

"Six hundred thousand cassette tapes, seventy thousand CDs."

I was asking about our album, what does this guy mean by that?

Do you know how many copies of your album have been pre-ordered?

While she was still feeling dazed, Liang Liang asked this question.

After Xu Mei finished recording her album, she went on tour with the Blue Shark band and had no time to care about these issues.

"You little scatterbrain! You didn't know, did you? Let me tell you, your album pre-orders are 1.4 million, and CD sales are 200,000!"

Xu Mei's eyes widened instantly: "So many! More than Brother Xu's album pre-orders?"

Liang Liang nodded.

So Xu Mei danced Swan Lake in the rehearsal room like a little duck, and twisted her ankle in the process, which made the Blue Shark Band laugh for quite a while.
