After several amateur performers had finished their performances, Liang Liang also went on stage with his bass guitar.
As usual, he glanced at the audience.
"Good evening, distinguished guests..."
At this point, Liang Liang paused noticeably, his eyes lingering on a certain spot in the audience for three seconds, a smile appearing on his face.
"Tonight, I'd like to introduce to you a new resident band that has just arrived at the Ocean Shipping Ballroom. Their name is the Three-Legged Cat Band!"
The moment the name "Three-Legged Cat" was uttered, the audience erupted in laughter.
With laughter, the members of the Three-Legged Cat Band all came onto the stage.
"This is Ms. Zhou Xue, the lead singer and guitarist of the Sanjiaomao band. This is their bassist Xu Deguang, keyboardist Shen Hao, and drummer Li Hongjun. I hope everyone will give them a round of applause to encourage them."
Sparse applause rang out from below the stage.
"We want to hear Blue Shark!" someone shouted from the audience.
"Don't rush, don't rush! I've introduced a new band. If we don't let them sing a song, it'll be a slap in the face. Folks, young and old, uncles, aunts and uncles, please bear with us. Now, let the Sanjiaomao Band sing their own song, 'My Sky.' We hope you'll enjoy it."
The song "My Sky" is the one that the Sanjiaomao Band sang for Liang Liang.
Liang Liang felt that this song had his own ideas, and he planned to make it the main song for the Triangle Cats to make a name for themselves.
Sun, you hang high in the sky
All things in the world grow in your bath.
Wings sprouted from our ribs
Traveling with you in the sky
And the wind that sweeps across the fields.
Like a herd of wild horses galloping into the distance
Flying over mountains and skimming across plains
It transformed into a rainbow on the horizon…
The band's harmonies were handled exceptionally well, making lead singer Zhou Xue's voice sound dreamlike.
If this song were performed by the Blue Shark Band, it would surely elicit thunderous applause.
Although the Three-Legged Cats band's performance did receive applause, the frequency of the applause was noticeably insufficient.
I want to hear this song again!
But a young man in the audience slapped a hundred-yuan bill and specifically requested the song "My Sky".
Lead singer Zhou Xue glanced down at the audience and saw the person who had paid to request their songs. She paused for a moment after recognizing the person and even subconsciously rubbed her eyes.
"The gentleman at table number five requested 'My Sky' for 100 yuan. Thank you for your generosity, but we just finished singing 'My Sky,' and continuing to sing it would cause some aesthetic fatigue. Let's put this song aside for now and listen to another song by the Three-Legged Cat Band, 'Why Don't You Float Down from the Sky.'"
The song's title is somewhat similar to those of mainstream rock songs, leaving listeners confused and disoriented.
Compared to "My Sky," this song is much less sophisticated, returning to the familiar pattern of melancholy and confusion.
The applause for this song was about the same as for the previous one.
As the actual owner of the Haiyun Dance Hall, Liang Liang felt somewhat helpless about being the host on stage.
This task must be given to Han Chui from now on; it's a shame that such a shameless person isn't a host.
"Although our entertainment tonight has only just begun, I can't contain my excitement and have some great news to share with everyone. The friend who just requested the song 'My Sky' is Mr. Su Ennan, a famous singer from Lianwan City!"
The temperature in the dance hall instantly rose several degrees.
Su Ennan stood up and waved to the surroundings.
Liang Liang only saw Su Ennan when she went on stage.
It's been several months since I last saw Su Ennan.
It is said that after holding two concerts on Green Frog Island, he went on a tour of the Chinese-speaking regions of Southeast Asia and seems to have just returned.
Liang Liang brought up Su Ennan at this moment, and his purpose was self-evident.
Since you've come to my karaoke bar, how can you face your audience if you don't go on stage and sing a couple of songs in addition to spending money?
Being worthy of the audience is a minor matter; the real big deal is helping to increase the popularity of the Haiyun Dance Hall in Lianwan City.
If he doesn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, wouldn't he be a fool?
"Now that the great singer Su is here, he should at least go on stage and sing a couple of songs for the people of Lianwan City, am I right?"
"Yes!" the audience responded in unison.
"Now, please welcome Mr. Su Ennan to the stage for a performance."
Su Ennan went on stage with a smile on her face.
Liang Liang greeted Su Ennan on stage. After the two embraced, Liang Liang led Su Ennan to the center of the stage.
"Now, Mr. Su has come to the stage. Let's welcome him with a warm round of applause!"
Liang Liang said that I led the applause, and the audience below the stage responded with applause.
"I wonder what song Mr. Su will sing for the people of Lianwan City tonight?" Liang Liang asked Su Ennan after the applause subsided.
"Then I'll sing '999 Roses' for everyone."
"Did everyone hear that? Mr. Su will be singing his famous song '999 Roses' for you. Okay! Everyone, give him a round of applause."
After Liang Liang finished speaking, he turned around and picked up his bass.
When a singer of Su Ennan's caliber takes the stage, he naturally has to accompany her personally.
The Three-Legged Cats band will take a short break before performing their song "My Sky" later.
The song "999 Roses" earned thunderous applause in the dance hall.
After finishing this song, Su Ennan sang "Thousand Paper Cranes".
Despite repeated requests from the audience, Liang Liang did not allow Su Ennan to continue singing; it was already generous of her to have sung two songs on stage.
"Mr. Su has just returned from a tour in Southeast Asia. He is exhausted from the journey and hasn't even washed off the dust yet. It is already more than enough that he was able to come on stage today to sing two songs for his hometown folks. Let's let Mr. Su rest. Next, please enjoy the song 'My Sky' by the Sanjiaomao Band that Su Ennan just requested. Please give him a warm welcome!"
After the Three-Legged Cats band took the stage again, Liang Liang took Su Ennan backstage.
"I'm so sorry, Brother Nan. Not only did I not treat you well, but I also made you sing two songs on stage. I'm so ashamed!"
"Let's not be so formal, brother. I heard you're the manager of the Haiyun Dance Hall now, so of course I'll come and support you."
"What manager? He's just an employee. How was the Southeast Asian tour this time?"
"Not bad! Your songs are very popular among the Chinese community in Southeast Asia, so you could say the performance was a success."
"Brother Nan! You've already held concerts in Hong Kong, Green Island, and Southeast Asia. Haven't you ever thought about holding a few concerts in mainland China as well?"
"I do have that idea. We're currently applying for approval, and it should be approved next year."
"That's great! Where are you planning to hold the first performance?"
"It hasn't been decided yet."
"What's there to hesitate about? The first battle has to start in our hometown! Let's choose Lianwan. Blue Shark will come to help us out."
As a singer who hails from Lianwan City, it wouldn't make sense for her to not choose Lianwan for her first performance.
