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 572 A Triumphant Return

There was a significant change in the performance on the evening of the 19th: the number of people entering the Waldney Forest Theatre increased compared to the previous night.

Although it was still far from full capacity, the theater, which can hold more than 20,000 people, was at least two-thirds full.

There were few changes to the other programs performed by the group tonight, except for the final program, which saw a significant change.

The two pieces by the Yinna River Band were played in the foreground, while the two pieces by the Hanmei Group were played later and connected with Liang Liang's "The Cup of Life," "Ghost," and "Faded," forming a twenty-minute segment. Don't foreigners love to jump around? This time, you can jump around to your heart's content.

The foreigners who didn't get enough fun last night definitely had a blast tonight.

During the last twenty minutes of the performance, the Waldney Forest Theatre turned into a dance party. Everyone except the performers on stage was jumping and dancing, creating a truly lively atmosphere.

The foreigners had a blast, and Liang Liang was happy too.

He was happy not because the foreigners were having fun, but because he was happy to win money.

I won another million.

So far, I've won two million US dollars during the European Championship, which is equivalent to sixteen million Chinese yuan.

This amount of money is definitely not enough to build a film studio.

After the European Championship group stage ends on June 19th, there will be two days of rest on the 20th and 21st.

During these two days, Liang Liang also took Hannah and Mia to visit several places in Berlin.

It wasn't to see famous historical sites, but to see if there were any better musical instruments, mainly DJ turntables.

After visiting several music equipment stores in Berlin, I didn't find any really good DJ turntables. They did have some new models for sale, but they weren't much different from the Pioneer 100 that Xu Mei and her friends used.

The next step for DJ turntables will have to wait for the arrival of the digital age.

The European Cup was on break for two days, but Liang Liang and his troupe did not have a break and continued to perform one show a day.

By the time the final performance was held on June 21st, the Waldney Forest Theatre was completely full.

Through positive word-of-mouth, they won over audiences in Berlin.

The German side requested two additional performances.

The request was made by the manager of the Valdney Forest Theatre.

With such a great performance and money to be made, of course he would make demands, wanting to perform one more show.

This is a bit complicated. If two more shows are added, it means the performance will be delayed by two days, and the group's visas will need to be changed.

Furthermore, this is a government exchange project for Liang Liang and his team, and it cannot be changed according to individual will.

But things are so bizarre that the other party actually managed to reach an agreement.

In capitalist societies, capital can truly do whatever it wants.

The visa issue is handled by Chinese citizens, so Liang Liang doesn't need to worry about it.

To be honest, he was quite happy. Staying in Germany for a couple more days would allow him to stay until the 27th, by which time the European Cup would basically only have the final match left, and he could earn a lot more money.

On June 22nd, he placed a bet of one million on each of the two matches, and won two million US dollars with odds of 1 to 1.

On June 23, he only bet on the Czech Republic vs. Portugal match, placing a bet of two million on a Czech Republic winning 1-0 against Portugal.

By the 22nd, their scheduled performances had been completed, and under normal circumstances, they would be returning home on the 24th.

But these two additional performances made them stay in Berlin for two more days.

The first four performances were cultural exchanges between the two countries, and these performing groups were basically sponsored and did not receive any money.

However, the two encore performances were a commercial activity undertaken by the Waldney Forest Theatre itself, so it had to pay performance fees to the delegation.

It is said that a performance costs 200,000 marks, but the performance team only gets 50,000 marks.

Liang Liang didn't care too much about this, after all, there were many people in the delegation, and it was already good enough that they could share some with them.

Tickets for the Valdney Forest Theatre are now extremely difficult to obtain.

Tickets ranged from 100 to 300 marks each, and the Waldny Forest Theatre, which can accommodate 22,000 people, earned more than 3 million marks from a single ticket sale.

Damn it, they only gave them 200,000 yuan for a game that brought in over three million. That's outrageous.

The Czech Republic's victory over Portugal on the evening of June 23rd brought Liang Liang an income of 2.4 million US dollars.

By this point, he had already won five million euros in the European Cup. If he could win another one in the semi-final between the Czech Republic and France, he could happily go home.

Schmidt spent three million marks in exchange for the licenses and sheet music for more than forty songs.

He took the sheet music back to the company and handed it over to the music director.

Their company's music director was astonished when he saw these songs and urgently asked Schmidt where he had obtained them.

Upon learning that Schmidt had purchased the copyright to these songs, he immediately found someone to compose music and a band to perform them, preparing for publication.

They bought the foreign language copyright, so naturally they can cover it.

These songs are sure to be huge hits in Europe, bringing them enormous profits.

While Schmidt Records was busy publishing these songs, Liang Liang was busy placing bets on the European Cup semi-finals on the night of the 26th.

Both matches were decided by penalty shootouts.

Liang Liang bet all his winnings on the Czech Republic vs. France match.

The odds are high for this match; the odds of the Czech Republic winning are 1 to 2.5.

The other one has odds of 1 to 1.

On the evening of the 26th, their final performance concluded successfully at the Forest Theater.

The owner of the Valdni Forest Theatre kept saying that he wanted to invite them to perform there in the future.

Haha! He wouldn't come if it cost him 1 million marks less for an appearance!

The performance has ended, and the semi-finals of the European Championship have also concluded. Germany and the Czech Republic, both from Group C, will meet again in the final.

The semi-final brought Liang Liang eight million US dollars in revenue. So, during his performance in Germany, he also won thirteen million US dollars, which is equivalent to one hundred million Chinese yuan.

Even though prices were still very low in 1996, 100 million yuan was still not enough to build a film studio.

The film and television city that Liang Liang wants to invest in will be at least 500 million yuan in scale.

He already had 100 million, plus another 100 million he won, so he was still short 300 million.

Liang Liang wasn't worried about this amount of money at all.

He can build the film and television city section by section.

His company's projects can generate a profit of around 50 million a year, which should be enough in four or five years.

They built this place and made money there.

If you can't make money through honest means, there are always crooked and unethical ways.

The 1998 World Cup is still two years away. He's already won 100 million from the European Championship, so winning several hundred million from the World Cup shouldn't be too difficult for him.

Then we'll have the money to build a film studio!

The location for the film studio has been selected, and the report has been submitted to the provincial government and approved.

This film and television city is not far from the famous Bingyugou Scenic Area in Yahe, and is adjacent to Xianrendong Forest Park.

Now that I'm back in China, I should find someone to design and build it.
