After singing the song requested by the audience, Liang Liang greeted them on stage and then went backstage to collect the reward money for the song requests that night.
Their band received over 8,000 yuan in song requests and tips tonight, and after giving Zhou Anming 5,000 yuan, they got 3,000 yuan back.
Of course, this 5,000 yuan was taken out by Liang Liang in his own name to pay for Zhang Zhenyu's medical treatment, and it did not involve any relationship with the other members of the band. Liang Liang will gradually compensate the others.
Zhang Liyuan sang two songs tonight and received a tip of eighty yuan.
"This little girl is nice. How about she stays here from now on?"
Zhou Anming saw that Zhang Liyuan was like a cash cow and decided to keep her.
"If she'll always just be a nightclub singer here, can you really turn her into a pop star?"
"Are you kidding me? We're not an audio-visual company, how could we possibly train singers?"
"That solves it. I plan to send her to the Pacific Ocean and train her to become a famous singer in the future."
"That will also benefit my nightclub. Once she becomes famous, my nightclub's promotional slogan will be something like, 'So-and-so singer debuted here.'"
Zhou Anming was still dreaming.
Two years later, Hainan's real estate bubble burst, and most of these nightclubs went out of business because they lost their customer base.
When Zhang Liyuan became famous, it was uncertain whether the National Chung Chung Dance Hall was still in existence.
Even if the venue doesn't close down, it's not easy for a singer to rise from the ashes. Over the years, some singers have indeed made it big, such as the upcoming "A-Lian," "Dark Fragrance" in a couple of years, and "It Doesn't Matter" a few years from now...
But these are only a very small minority among the many dance hall singers; most people are still buried in the noise and obscurity of the venue.
It's too slow to become famous through this method.
It's faster to rise to prominence by joining a music company, even though there will be some constraints.
"Then I won't force them. I don't want to ruin their future." Zhou Anming was also quite open-minded.
There were over 100 singers participating in this competition, so why didn't he keep two?
Zhang Liyuan was somewhat surprised when she learned that she had received a tip of 80 yuan for singing two songs that night.
I never imagined singing could be so lucrative!
Fortunately, no one told her how much money the Blue Shark band could earn in one night.
Otherwise, her jaw would have fallen off and hit her foot.
The Blue Shark band and Zhang Liyuan did not return to the AEON Mall.
Instead, they went to the streets for a late-night snack.
Liang Liang's favorite thing about Haikou is its night markets.
It's incredibly diverse, with snacks from all over the country.
Chicken stir-fried noodles, hot pot, water spinach...
There are simply too many to count.
It's quite a pleasant thing to eat, drink, and chat with a group of people at the same table.
However, sometimes things spoil the mood, such as people with large tattoos, which can really affect one's appetite.
There are also frequent scenes of special police arresting fugitives.
At that time, there were a lot of fugitives in Hainan.
Even so, even though it's already the end of December, the night stalls on the streets are still there.
Liang Liang might not know about other groups, but people in his line of work usually get off work around 11 or 12 o'clock, and after get off work they almost always eat late-night snacks at night stalls.
Other bands usually eat and drink until almost dawn before going back to sleep.
But the Blue Shark band doesn't have that habit; they almost never eat late-night snacks past 2 a.m.
Usually, after eating and drinking for a little over an hour, I would rush home to rest.
After finishing their late-night snack and returning to the AEON building, Zhang Liyuan went to sleep in the same room as Xiao Yu, asking Xiao Yu to help her familiarize herself with the three songs before going to bed.
Liang Liang, in his room, began writing out the sheet music for the two songs.
Since everything was readily available, filling it in was naturally very quick. Liang Liang filled in the sheet music for the two songs in just over ten minutes.
It was past 1 a.m. when I finished writing the score.
I have to officially participate in the competition tomorrow, so I can't stay up too late.
At 8:00 AM on December 1st, the Tengda Junior High School Cup Popular Song Competition officially kicked off.
Actually, this name is quite poorly chosen; it's a very awkward name.
Even though it was awkward, the generous bonus still attracted a huge number of applicants.
At that time, apart from the national Young Singers Competition, there were really no privately organized competitions like this.
If it weren't for the fact that the owner of Tengda got a mental breakdown, this competition would never have happened in Haikou.
This can be considered a pioneering move by private enterprises to organize singing competitions.
Of course, this competition had no specific purpose; it was just that the owner of Tengda Group was spending money for fun and had no intention of cultivating a singer or anything like that.
The locals didn't have this idea, but Liu Wen did.
After returning to Guangzhou, he thought about it and suddenly realized that this was a platform to discover new talents. Maybe he could see two outstanding individuals in this competition.
Just then, Liang Liang paged him, telling him that he had seen a seedling in Haikou and asking Liu Wen if he was interested.
So Liu Wen went back to Haikou all by himself.
Although Guozhong Dance City is one of the four major dance halls in Haikou, it clearly had no experience in hosting this kind of singing competition, which led to a somewhat chaotic scene at the beginning of the morning's draw.
Everything was a bit chaotic, and there were no seeded players; whoever was drawn in the lottery would be chosen.
Han Chui naturally drew lots for the Blue Shark band, and he also drew lots for Zhang Liyuan.
The Blue Shark band's opponent in the draw was a singer named Han Feng.
Liang Liang neither knew nor cared who her band's opponent was.
He was secretly introducing Zhang Liyuan to Liu Wen at that moment.
"This is a promising talent I discovered in Haikou. She's 18 years old this year, has an excellent voice, and a very high level of musical comprehension. However, she hasn't received much formal music theory training, so her theoretical knowledge is a weakness. If you sign her, you'll need to help her improve her music theory."
"If he really has the qualities you describe, we will nurture him carefully."
Liang Liang only secretly introduced Zhang Liyuan to Liu Wen, without introducing Liu Wen to Zhang Liyuan, because she was worried that if he knew the situation, he would have all sorts of wild thoughts, which would affect her performance and would be a loss.
After the draw, the competition officially began.
There were ten judges and 500 audience members in the factory.
Each of the 500 audience members has one vote, and each judge also has one vote.
However, one vote from a judge is equivalent to ten votes from an ordinary audience member.
On stage, two singers will compete against each other, and who will win depends on who gets more votes.
The Blue Shark band's performance order is number fifty-eight, but they have nothing to do today; it's not their turn at all.
It's something that will happen tomorrow afternoon.
However, Zhang Liyuan was the ninth to perform, and her match should have been around 10:30.
That way they can't leave and can only stay here with us.
They watched from the stands as the singers began their one-on-one battles.
