When Su Ennan heard Liang Liang say that if he chose Lianwan City as the first stop of his domestic tour, the Blue Shark Band would lend a hand, he was greatly encouraged.
Before releasing their album, Blue Shark was virtually unknown in China, with only some influence in certain local areas.
However, after the release of this album and its considerable success, Blue Shark has become a well-known band in China.
Although they are not yet a top-tier band, based on the current trend, they will become a top-tier band next year.
With their endorsement, the box office appeal will definitely reach new heights.
Liang Liang's offer to support Su Ennan's premiere performance in Lianwan City can't be said to be without ulterior motives.
Their debut album has already sold over 250,000 copies in mainland China and over 150,000 copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Reaching one million copies by the end of the year is not a problem.
After the Lunar New Year, Pacific will release their second album.
The success of the second album was expected.
With these two albums as a foundation, it was only a matter of time before Blue Shark Band was able to hold concerts in the country.
Their tour's first stop was naturally Lianwan.
The Blue Shark band's appearance at Su Ennan's concert was tantamount to advertising themselves in advance and attracting a large audience.
It would naturally do such a profitable deal; not doing it would be foolish.
"Brother! To be honest, I hadn't really considered Lianwan City for the domestic tour, but with what you said, we have to add a show in Lianwan. We'll make Lianwan the first stop."
Liang Liang never expected that his words would secure a benefit for music lovers in Lianwan City.
"How many concerts are you planning?"
"Originally, we only planned to hold one event each in Beijing and Shanghai/Guangzhou."
"So few? Since you've already opened it, why not put on more shows?"
"I'm afraid it will be embarrassing if no one watches it."
"Don't set the ticket price so high, how can no one come?"
"Then what height do you think we should order?"
"No matter where you are, don't set the price above ten dollars. You can set the first-tier ticket price at ten dollars, the second-tier ticket price at eight dollars, the third-tier ticket price at five or six dollars, and the farthest seat price at three dollars. This way, you can have a chance of a full house. The mainland is not like Hong Kong and Taiwan, so don't think about setting the ticket price to a hundred dollars like in Hong Kong and Taiwan."
"Sigh! The gap in living standards between mainland China and Hong Kong and Taiwan is too big. When will we be able to live like them?"
"You can guarantee that you can catch up. Even if you can't catch up in twenty years, the gap won't be too big. You will definitely catch up in thirty years."
The Three-Legged Cats band performed "My Sky" for the second time on stage.
This time, some people in the audience with some musical knowledge recognized the brilliance of the song.
Therefore, the applause was much more enthusiastic than when the song was sung for the first time.
Subsequently, the Sanjiaomao Band adapted two of their songs into Blue Shark Band songs suitable for female vocals: "Missing You Is a Knife" and "Don't Misunderstand".
I don't understand why Zhou Xue would like the song "Don't Misunderstand".
Liang Liang sang this song only once, and never again.
When he showed Zhou Xue the songbook he had already performed, the woman immediately fell in love with "Don't Misunderstand".
Who did she misunderstand?
The applause for these two songs was much more enthusiastic, and they even received a tip of over three hundred yuan.
Although Sanjiaomao gained a lot of popularity in the dance hall with these few songs, most of these audience members came for the Blue Shark band. Many of them came to the Haiyun Dance Hall expecting a mini-concert by the Blue Shark band.
They believe that spending ten yuan on a ticket to see the Blue Shark band perform until midnight is definitely not a bad deal.
So, after much anticipation, the Blue Shark band took the stage.
The Blue Shark band, fully armed, received a standing ovation as soon as they appeared on stage.
"Look at their popularity! It's really enviable," Shen Hao said with a look of envy.
"Will we have that kind of popularity in the future?" Zhou Xue asked.
No one answered her, because no one knew what they would achieve in the future.
Liang Liang stood in the center of the stage, holding her bass guitar.
"Now it's our turn to perform. The song list has been handed out. If you want to stop a song, just shout it out loud."
Liang Liang printed the more than twenty songs he had already taken out into a booklet and distributed it free of charge to each guest with a ticket. They could choose their favorite song based on the song title on the cart.
"I'm so ashamed!" Someone in the audience played a royal flush right from the start.
Liang Liang immediately thought, "How can this be allowed?"
If they start by using "Ashamed to the point of being humiliated" to blow up the game, how are they supposed to play the rest of the game?
Besides, if someone requests this song a few more times, wouldn't he be exhausted and short of breath?
"Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, let's not throw the bomb right off the bat. If we do, it'll just leave a mess! Let's start with something gentle and gradually build up the intensity, okay? Let my voice get used to it. I have a question for you: how many of you have heard Blue Shark's album 'Hometown'?"
Holy crap! A whole bunch of arms shot up from below the stage, each holding a cassette tape.
"Beautiful! Seeing these raised arms and the tapes in each hand, the entire Blue Shark Band is deeply moved. You are our benefactors. The Blue Shark Band bows to everyone in the audience to express our gratitude."
Liang Liang and all the band members bowed to the audience.
"Aren't we supposed to bow three times?" There were still people in the audience helping to prop up the rice seedlings.
"Hehe! Sister, you're talking nonsense. That's for saying goodbye to the deceased, we don't do that."
The audience burst into laughter.
"By the way! Our bread and butter, are you holding the genuine product? If it's a pirated copy, we'll starve to death."
Another burst of good-natured laughter followed.
"Alright! Let's not take up any more of your precious time. How about we start with 'Hometown'?"
"Okay! My hometown is fine too!"
"Great! I love dealing with reasonable people. Alright! On this beautiful night, I hope our songs will accompany you through a wonderful evening. Wan, Tu, Sirui, that's enough!"
As Liang Liang raised his hand in a metallic salute, the guitar began to play its intro.
The setting sun once again illuminated my face.
It reflected my uneasy heart once again.
…
Liang Liang sang only two lines, and a chorus of voices suddenly rang out from the audience.
What place is this that is still so desolate?
That endless journey was so long
…
It resonated with many.
Liang Liang suddenly stopped singing and raised the bass in her hand above her head to play.
Although his singing stopped, the singing from the audience did not stop.
You are my woman in the vast sea of people
Every cold night on the road in a foreign land
This longing, it cuts me like a knife, causing me pain.
…
The audience roared with song, and the members of the Three-Legged Cats band had tears in their eyes…
