Chapter 127 Sea Waves



Where can an up-and-coming artist find such a conscientious contract? Why wait to sign one?

Are you waiting for your food?

"You lot, after signing with Xianggang Company, you'll be going to Xianggang for training and branding. You might not be able to come home more than a few times a year. Go home and discuss it with your parents. It's not too late to back out now!"

Liang Liang's question was utter nonsense. In the 1980s and 90s, going abroad was a great opportunity for Chinese people. Even digging a hole wouldn't be enough to find a way out, so why wouldn't people go if they had a way?

Even so, the members of the Mayday band are all teenagers of seventeen or eighteen years old, so we have to consult their parents to avoid any messy situations.

He didn't gain anything by sending Mayday away; he only caused more trouble, which would be a loss for him.

The parents of the Mayday band members responded quickly, and none of them expressed any objection.

Thus, Mayday officially signed a contract with Golden Dream Records.

After signing the contract with the Mayday band, Wong Ka-fai returned to Hong Kong. He stayed in Lianwan City for nearly 20 days, which can be considered as completing the task assigned to him by Jin Hao.

Ten days later, Liang Liang will travel to Hong Kong with the Mayday band.

Blue Shark is going to record their own album, while Mayday is going to Xianggang for training and promotion.

It has been more than 20 days since Liang Liang returned to Lianwan from Xianggang. During this time, some changes have occurred in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.

Su Ennan's "Find a Word to Replace" has finally run out of steam, with sales now capped at 736,500 copies. There will be some sales going forward, but it will not exceed 800,000 at most.

This album set a new sales record for mainland Chinese singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

More than 500,000 units were sold in Green Island and more than 230,000 units were sold in Xianggang.

Based on the Green Island standard of 200,000 copies for one platinum album, his album achieved double platinum sales on Green Island and quadruple platinum sales on Xianggang.

Yidong Company made a fortune, and the next step is to plan Su Ennan to hold a concert on Green Island.

In 1993, this was still a rather difficult task to accomplish, as cross-strait policies had not yet reached the point where free exchange was possible.

How to accomplish this task was a real headache for ArtMotion.

Jinmeng Company rushed to meet deadlines and produced a shoddy copy of "The Fairy and the Prince," which astonishingly sold 140,000 copies in just twenty days, almost reaching triple platinum status.

Jin Hao was so happy he was practically snorting. The album's success had solved Jinmeng Company's immediate financial crisis.

Next, they should polish this album properly and prepare to release a new version with Cantonese lyrics for each of them separately.

On the day Wong Ka-fai returned to his hometown of Hong Kong, Beyond's new album "Modern Stage" was officially released, selling tens of thousands of copies on its first day.

The album is expected to sell over 150,000 copies.

At this time, Liang Liang had no time to care about the ups and downs in Xianggang; he was busy forming the Sea Waves Women's Band.

In about ten days, the Mayday band and their crew will head south. Mayday will stay in Xianggang, while Blue Shark will likely stay in Guangdong Province for a while after recording their songs there. The Haiyun Dance Hall can't be without someone to fill the stage.

Although Night Walk and Black Island Band are there, Zheng Tuo's new dance hall might open soon after renovations, and Night Walk and Black Island Band will have to go there, leaving no one to oversee Haiyun.

Therefore, it's time to get this all-female band together; the responsibility of leading the Maritime Ballroom rests on their shoulders.

Although their skills are not yet up to par, the sight of five beautiful women together is a feast for the eyes, which can make up for their lack of skill.

Physical appearance has always been an important factor in human development, regardless of the era.

They would practice in nightclubs for a year or two, and once their skills were up to par, they would go out into the world when they had the chance.

Ming Hongling is still a guitarist. Although her main job is now as a waitress, she has the advantage of being close to the source and has made considerable progress in her guitar skills by learning from Lan Sha in her spare time.

Xiao Yao has been practicing guitar quite well lately, but she originally wanted to be a bassist like Liang Liang, but Liang Liang didn't teach her back then.

After having physical intimacy with Liang Liang twice, Liang Liang would give her pointers a few times when he had nothing else to do. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao's bass learning speed was so fast that it was even faster than her guitar progress. She was already playing the bass quite well, so she became a bassist.

Lanzhi continued to play the drums. Although Xiaoqian also learned to play the drums, Liang Liang was surprised to find that her voice was the best among them. Her high notes could even reach B5, which really startled Liang Liang. He couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

Damn it, you can yell that loudly? What kind of shill do you think you are?

If you can sing up to B5, you can sing the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Even if you just hit B5 at the highest note and then go off, there are very few people in the whole country who can do that.

There are some videos on Bilibili of famous sopranos singing the highest line of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Liang Liang listened carefully.

Most of the singers only managed a quick B5 before dropping out, and a few barely reached A5. As for those who sang with their head voice, they were not worth mentioning.

Tan Jing was the only one who actually lingered at B5 for more than a second.

As for Li Na's version where she could stay on B5 for a few seconds, since there is no live video, the effect cannot be commented on.

Liang Liang then wrote out the song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" and had Xiaoqian try singing it.

After learning it, Xiaoqian officially sang the song.

In the last line, even with the correct vibrato and glissando, it only reached the level of a quick B5 followed by a pause, completely lacking the level of the original singer Li Na, who lingered for several seconds.

But that's enough. Liang Liang is already satisfied that Xiaoqian was able to sing this song. If she can sing this song, then she should be able to sing most songs.

Zhang Hua is still a keyboardist.

Thus, the Sea Waves Band was officially formed.

The band practiced one song in the first few days after its formation, which was "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau".

This song was originally created in September 1994, but Liang Liang finished it a full year earlier.

Although the Sea Waves Band has been formed, Liang Liang doesn't really have time to devote too much energy to them yet.

Besides singing Liang Liang's old songs, they only sang one new song, "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau".

Liang Liang is making final preparations for the Blue Shark band's album.

Blue Shark Band's album, titled "Hometown," currently contains seven songs: "Returning to Hometown," "Hometown," "Return," and also includes "Waiting for the Wind," "Grey Bird," and "Blue Lotus."

For the remaining six songs, Liang Liang randomly selected a few general songs related to his hometown.

The songs for this album are now complete.
