Luo Lin's Desert Wind and Sand Band was the eighth to perform, and they sang two songs: "The Shepherd" and "Elip and Senam".

These two songs, full of Xinjiang flavor, captivated the audience and earned high praise from the judges.

They highly praised the piece "The Shepherd," saying that both the lyrics and the melody were of extremely high quality.

Not long after the sounds of Xinjiang Style faded, the highland-style songs of the Snow Eagle Band rang out on the stage.

The two songs sung by the Snow Eagle are "Shambhala Bar" and "Drolma".

Although these two pieces received a lot of applause, they did not attract much attention from the jury.

The melody is nice, but the song lacks depth and is a bit of a stretch to call it rock; it's more like a pop song.

But no matter what, the desert winds and sandstorms and the majestic eagles of the snowy plateau have left an impression on people's minds.

Throughout the entire event, the applause in the music academy courtyard rose in waves, and cheers, shouts, and screams rang out from the very beginning until the end of the performance.

The daytime performances at the music festival ended at 5 p.m.

During the three-and-a-half-hour performance, twenty bands performed forty songs, much to the delight of the fans.

While these songs may not all be melodious, the lyrics certainly meet the festival organizing committee's requirements: they are wholesome, uplifting, and positive, except for love songs, of course.

The Blue Shark band will not perform during the day; they will be the headliner at the night show.

For fans who attended the concert in the white venue, this was probably the only regret.

After dinner and a rest of more than two hours, the evening show started at 7:30.

The evening show opened with the appearance of the Hanmei Duo, two beautiful women who performed two songs originating from the Ice Age: "La La La" and "The Future Blooms Ahead".

With such a beautiful woman and captivating music, it's impossible not to create a climax.

As soon as these two pieces were played, the courtyard of the music academy seemed to turn into a disco. Everyone, whether they could dance or not, started tapping their feet. It was practically an open-air disco.

The opening song tonight basically set the tone for the night: joy.

Whether the fans entering the venue were local or from out of town, and whether the bands performing on stage were local or from out of town, they all received the same applause.

Lianwan TV station was divided into two program teams: one team broadcast live and the other team recorded the proceedings.

After receiving confirmation that the Blue Shark band would not be performing, Baichang turned their live stream to the stadium.

Since Mayday, Xu Wei, and Hailanghua will all be performing at the stadium during the daytime, the focus should naturally be on that venue.

Both Hanmei Lansha and Hanchuang will be performing in the evening session; anyone who doesn't broadcast this live would be out of their mind.

The ratings on the first day broke the television station's ratings record.

This delighted the television station.

Haiyun Audio-Visual Company also recorded the event and plans to release the music festival CDs and videotapes to the market after the festival ends.

On the first day of the music festival, a total of 23,000 tickets were sold at the two venues, generating 180,000 in box office revenue.

These two sums of money sound like a lot, but they're really not much, especially compared to this year's advertising sponsorships; they're almost negligible.

Last year, the companies that sponsored the music festival all gained a good reputation, which boosted their product sales.

This year, almost all of these companies have increased their sponsorship, with the amount doubling compared to last year.

This year, Lianwan TV also broadcast most of the shows live, which attracted more manufacturers to rush in and spend a lot of money hoping to increase their company's visibility.

This brought the music festival's advertising sponsorship to over two million yuan.

The advertising slots for music festival specials on television also amount to millions.

Both the TV stations and the music festival organizing committees made a fortune.

The music festival organizing committee expects to generate more than three million in revenue, including advertising and ticket sales.

However, expenses account for about one-third of the total, and the net income will be about half.

In addition to these revenues, Haiyun Music Store's sales also increased by more than three times compared to normal days.

Many young people who were watching the performance live for the first time went straight into a music store after the daytime show and bought a low-end piano to practice on.

And the guitar is the cheapest and most stylish of all these musical instruments.

This explains why over a thousand acoustic and electric guitars were sold on the first and second mornings of the music festival.

Almost all of these low-end guitars sold for practice were Liefeng and Bisheng brands, produced by Liang Liang's guitar company.

This year's music festival features over one hundred bands, both from out of town and locally.

The specific number is 103, with more than 60 bands participating from the Lien Wan area alone, including the surrounding counties and cities.

The two performance venues are for continuous performances, with only twenty bands allowed per show. With two shows a day, a maximum of eighty bands can perform.

So, more than twenty bands will have to wait until the next show to take the stage.

A band might not get a chance to perform even once a day; it would take them a day and a half to get a turn, which means a reduction in their performance fees.

But it also means more opportunities for communication.

When they have free time, these bands don't focus on beer and women, but rather on studying music and exchanging musical skills.

There are even people who go out into the streets to teach others to play the piano, and of course, most of their students are pretty girls.

They weren't afraid of getting beaten up.

Liang Liang introduced Guo Wang and Luo Lin to each other, and the two bands from the westernmost and northwesternmost parts of China sat down together.

They were exchanging ideas enthusiastically.

The Bright Light Band also took the stage. Since they're here, it wouldn't be right not to let them perform.

Two folk songs by the Bright Light Band caused a sensation, especially "Nanshan Nan," which even sparked considerable debate among the judges.

It's all a mess, both good and bad, just like the fate of this song in its previous life.

Liang Tianlei was frustrated.

The other of the two folk songs their band sang was not "Songyang" sung by Liang Liang, but a song they wrote themselves.

They really put a lot of thought and effort into creating this song, so why isn't there any discussion about it?

Why is everyone discussing "Nanshan Nan"?

Liu Wen was responsible for both scheduling the performance and listening to the songs. He was to select the first batch of songs, process the effects after the music festival, and then compile them into a collection.

More than two months have passed since the Lunar New Year, and the company still hasn't released a single album. Is that acceptable?

If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding. Liang Liang pays him 100,000 yuan a year, including salary and bonuses, so he has to be worthy of the money.

Although we achieved brilliant results last year, that only represents the past.

While most of the pieces were rather mediocre, there were indeed some refreshing works.

Liu Wen recorded all of these works in his notebook.
