Shi Zhang went on stage and spent a long time learning the song by looking at the sheet music. After getting familiar with the rhythm with the Blue Shark Band, he sang "I Can't Forget You" with deep emotion.
Because he had just learned it, his singing was not smooth, and he even forgot the lyrics at times.
However, it must be said that he has a good grasp of this type of love song, and his emotional interpretation is quite good.
It would be quite suitable for Shih Chang to sing this song.
If a mainland singer were to buy a song, the price would be around three to five thousand, but if a Hong Kong or Taiwanese person were to buy it, they would absolutely not sell it for that price.
It would cost at least 20,000 yuan.
Twenty thousand yuan is not an unattainable amount for first- or second-tier singers in mainland China. Although Shi Zhang is only a third-rate singer in Hong Kong, twenty thousand yuan is not a lot for Hong Kong people.
Both parties quickly finalized the transfer agreement for the song.
Shih Chang was beaming with excitement. With such a song in hand, he believed that his status in the Hong Kong music scene would take a qualitative leap.
Even if this song doesn't elevate his status, he could easily recoup his investment by transferring the performance rights to top-tier singers.
How are the bands doing in Xianggang now?
The golden age of Hong Kong's music scene began with the rivalry between Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung. After that rivalry ended, starting last year, the era of the Four Heavenly Kings shining brightly began, which greatly affected the survival of bands.
"Now, since the 1990s, Xianggang Band has been the domain of Super Cute Band. They have won the Commercial Radio Hong Kong Ultimate Song Chart Gold Award for Group for three consecutive years."
Liang Liang nearly spat a mouthful of blood all over Su Ennan's face.
How did grasshoppers become so cute?
"Beyond won the silver award for five consecutive years, while most of the bronze awards went to bands like Tai Chi and Da Bian Yi Pai."
Liang Liang, the band known for his adorable style, is quite familiar to many. Their representative works, such as "The Breakup Alliance," "Unforgettable Samba Dance," and "Baby, I'm Sorry," were all household names at the time.
Beyond has only won the silver medal for five consecutive years, which shows that their situation in Hong Kong is not good.
As for Tai Chi and Da Bian Yi Pai Liang Liang, I'm not very familiar with them, and I've basically never heard them play any commemorative pieces.
He remembered that in his previous life he had bought a copy of The Story of the Stone, but he only listened to it once and then threw it away.
"Is Beyond performing with three members now?" Liang Liang asked casually.
"Huh? What do you mean three people? Beyond has always been four people. Although their members have split up and reunited in the past, the members are almost fixed now."
Liang Liang looked on in surprise: "You mean the current Beyond band, or all four members? Right now!"
It's September 1993 now. Huang Jiajun should have died three months ago after falling off a Japanese variety show.
Is something unexpected about to happen?
"Yes! They performed a few days ago, before I came back... let me think, it was August 18th or 20th, there was some kind of awards ceremony on a small local TV station, and they even participated and won some kind of Best Artist Award."
Liang Liang took a deep breath: "Beyond didn't sign with a Japanese company to go to Japan?"
"Although they have some fame in Hong Kong, they are not qualified to sign with Japan, so why would they go to Japan?"
Liang Liang closed her eyes.
He needed to calm himself down, so he took several deep breaths.
This world has given him quite a few surprises.
In their previous life, Beyond was a legendary band in the Chinese music scene.
Many people lamented and grieved over Huang Jiajun's untimely death, wishing they had a way to bring him back to life.
Liang Liang clearly remembers that it was in the second half of 1997 that Beyond's songs suddenly became popular in mainland China, becoming household names almost overnight.
Although Liang Liang wasn't a big fan of Beyond, he had listened to many of their famous songs, such as "The Earth," "Cold Moon Night," "Truly Love You," "Glorious Years," "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," and "The Great Wall," and could even imitate their Cantonese versions of some of their most famous songs.
Hearing that Huang Jiajun was still alive, he was naturally very happy.
"When is your concert in Xianggang?" Liang Liang suddenly asked.
October 15th.
"Didn't you say you wanted me to be a guest? I agreed."
Su Ennan was overjoyed: "You really agreed?"
"Of course! Do you think I'm joking?"
"That's great! You'll have to sing at least two songs on stage, and they'll have to be new songs."
"no problem."
Two new songs, nothing special.
Su Ennan couldn't understand why Liang Liang had suddenly agreed.
"Give me a copy of all the song titles that Beyond is currently performing publicly."
Since Huang Jiajun is still alive, it's necessary to organize the songs they sang to see which tracks haven't been released yet, as there are bound to be errors.
"I'll tidy it up for you right away. I guarantee it will be done in half an hour. You three can also help me tidy it up."
Su Ennan asked Luo Hui, Liang Qingyao and Shi Zhang for help.
After dealing with this matter, Liang Liang prepared to go on stage to continue rehearsing. He planned to finish rehearsing early today and study the songs that Beyond had already released.
Just then, a young man in elegant clothes walked into the Ocean Shipping Ballroom carrying a bouquet of flowers.
This young man acted as if he belonged there, and after entering the dance hall, he went straight to Xiao Yu with a big smile and no regard for anyone else in the dance hall.
"Yuyu! I've come to see you! Aren't you surprised? Unexpected, right?!"
When Xiao Yu saw the person who arrived, half of her face collapsed.
Liang Qingyao glanced at the man and then at Liang Liang.
"Xiao Liang! It seems your girlfriend has quite a few suitors; they've even come to you."
Liang Liang was completely baffled. My girlfriend?
"Who told you she's my girlfriend?"
"She said it herself. She said you pursued her relentlessly for years before she finally agreed to be with you. By the way, what does 'relentlessly pursued' mean?"
A surge of fire erupted from Liang Liang's dantian.
Can you tell that this is nonsense? I've only known her for less than a month, how come she's been out for several years?
Who else is desperately pursuing you? I don't even have a hint of interest in them.
“Yuyu! I can tell from your face that you are genuinely happy to see me, and that’s right! This bouquet of flowers is for you; it represents my heart, which is as vibrant as spring.”
"Han Bangchui! I'm warning you, if you call me Yuyu again, I'll turn on you!"
"Isn't it better to call you Yuyu? Doesn't that sound more intimate? Since you don't like it, how about I call you Yuyu or Yuyu from now on?"
The guy called Han Bangchui didn't care at all and continued to follow behind Xiao Yu with a grin.
Liang Liang felt that he was already quite thick-skinned, but compared to this guy, he suddenly felt as pure as a white lotus flower.
