Blue Shark Band doesn't need to worry about solving these problems, but they do need to worry about the concert.
With only two days to prepare, it was a bit rushed. They didn't even have time for rehearsals. It would be good enough if they could prepare all the music needed for the show.
The selection of these songs was also targeted. In addition to the songs from the album "Hometown", the songs from the new album "Nowhere to Hide" were also brought out to show off, which can be regarded as an early advertisement.
This is a small concert, with about twenty songs, and with some time for casual conversation, it will only take three or four hours to get through.
Although there was no time for rehearsals, the Blue Shark band was a seasoned veteran with extensive stage experience, and having spent a lot of time together, they could manage without rehearsals.
This is good news. The bad news is that in order to prepare for this unexpected concert, their album recording was suspended for two days.
The concert tickets cost eighteen yuan each, and a total of two thousand tickets were sold.
Eighteen yuan is an extremely expensive ticket price in China. It's likely that no other place in China, except Guangdong Province, including Shanghai, would have such a ticket price.
With 36,000 yuan in ticket revenue, after deducting some expenses, the Blue Shark band will receive 15,000 yuan.
It's better than nothing, I suppose.
Liang Liang felt that he was getting a bit arrogant, and he didn't even care about the 15,000 yuan he could get in a game.
This won't do! One must not forget one's roots; we must pull ourselves together and earn back the 15,000.
You make the same amount of money in your own nightclub, don't you?
On the evening of March 6th at 7 PM, the Blue Shark Band's concert in Guangzhou officially kicked off.
This time, Liang Liang did not start his performance with a powerful song to stir the audience's emotions as he had done in the past.
Instead, once on stage, he rambled on and on about nothing.
They pulled for a good five or six minutes.
Xiao Yu is so tired. Did you come here to sing or to tell dirty jokes?
"Ah! You want to tell another one? You're not listening to songs anymore? How about telling a joke first? Okay, then I'll tell you one more. I'm talking about an elderly couple who watched that...you know what a romantic movie is, right?"
Some dim-witted people in the audience even blurted out, "Isn't it just porn?"
"This person reacts quickly; they clearly watch this often."
The audience burst into laughter.
"After watching the romantic movie, the elderly couple burst into tears. The old man cried and said, 'I'm almost dead and I only just found out there are so many positions! I've missed out so much!' The old woman, with snot and tears streaming down her face, said, 'I've lived my whole life and only just found out that you can eat that stuff raw!'"
After a brief pause, the audience erupted in a thunderous roar of laughter.
"Alright! The relaxing moment is over for now. Now it's time for our concert to begin. Sunny's first song is 'Waiting for the Wind'."
The flowers covering the mountains and fields, for whom did they once bloom?
Whose gaze captured the essence of spring?
Invisible dust
Who remembers him leaving?
Where will I land when I'm exhausted...?
Liang Liang sang with ease, as if she were singing in a sea freight nightclub.
It is a waterside pavilion, with the bright moon in one's embrace.
The red spider lilies bloom, their skirts fluttering in the breeze.
Nianqing Mountain Range, covered in white snow
I left the paper blank, waiting for the wind to blow...
This is a song with a traditional Chinese style. The original song was a talent show song from the previous generation of "The Voice of China".
Lyricist and composer: Liu Yitong.
Liang Liang also really liked the melody and lyrics of the song, but didn't really like the original arrangement.
Such songs should be played with traditional Chinese musical instruments to fully express their charm; Western instruments simply cannot capture their essence.
Of course, he was just thinking about it; they did use Western musical instruments for accompaniment.
I'll give this song to Gao Xing when I get back, and have the farmers' band perform it.
Following "Waiting for the Wind" came songs such as "Grey Bird," "Return," "Blue Lotus," and "Returning Home."
The audience below the stage was wild.
The band is used to the audience's crazy reactions and remains unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses before them.
The performance started with the album "Hometown". Every time a song was sung, the audience automatically joined in the singing. The chorus of two thousand people was quite impressive.
After the songs from the album "Hometown" are finished, the audience won't know what to do next with the Blue Shark Band. Although they may have heard a few of these songs before, most of them will be new to them.
Even if you can't sing along, shouting to the rhythm is still the same.
"Hometown" is a large album of more than 60 minutes with 12 songs.
The Blue Shark band's current album, "No Place to Hide," is a small album of just over 45 minutes with only nine songs.
The two albums together only have twenty-one songs.
Perhaps the opening act set the tone for the concert, as Liang Liang would chat with the audience for a few minutes after each song.
These audience members were quite interesting; they insisted that Liang Liang tell a dirty joke before singing.
This is a joke flying along with the song!
In this way, once these twenty-odd songs are sung, the four-hour concert will be over.
Around 10:30 p.m., the band played a well-known song called "Unforgettable Tonight".
This means the party is over.
Even though the concert was over, some audience members refused to leave, insisting that Liang Liang tell one last story before they would go.
"How about I hold a storytelling session tomorrow night?"
"Okay, okay!"
Surprisingly, some people even expressed their agreement.
"How about we organize another big concert for you guys?" Liu Wen asked Liang Liang for his opinion after the concert. He thought that it would be no problem for the Blue Shark Band to hold a big concert now.
Especially those jokes that are so exciting to hear?
These jokes alone can still fool the audience.
"Mr. Liu! We're here mainly to record an album, not to hold a concert. Although concerts can make money, they're not our main purpose here. We can't put the cart before the horse."
"That's right! Let's talk about the concert later then."
Liang Liang felt it was very inappropriate for Pacific to handle her concert, as they were taking away half of the profits.
This is not the same as releasing an album. Releasing an album requires using someone else's channels, and you can't do without them.
However, holding a concert is different. Although Pacific Audio-Visual Company has a great influence in Yangcheng, if the Blue Shark Band obtains the license, they don't need anyone else's help at all. Even if they do get help, it won't be much, and it won't be enough to have half of their profits taken away.
This is also why Liang Liang is not very interested in holding concerts.
The money earned from this small concert was settled very quickly; Pacific Company delivered the money the very next day.
Liang Liang then split the money among himself and each person for three thousand yuan.
