Chapter 443 The Rise of Karaoke



Liang Liang then asked Han Chui to arrange a medium-sized concert at the Lianwan Gymnasium.

This stadium was completed in 1989 and can accommodate 5,800 people.

If this venue is fully occupied, it will be roughly equivalent to half the occupancy rate of the Hong Kong Coliseum, thus achieving the goal of allowing Xu Wei and the Han Chuang Band to gain experience.

Holding a concert in the north during winter is a very risky thing to do, and Liang Liang's decision was indeed a bit foolish.

But this was a last resort. Xu Wei had at least been taken to the stage and seen some of the world when he was in Xi'an, but the Han Chuang Band really had never seen the world. It was really necessary to give them some experience in big venues.

This Hong Kong Coliseum concert marks the first time that Chinese rock music has been officially performed overseas, and we cannot afford to lose face.

Leaving people stranded overseas is not something Liang Liang wants to see.

If you want to be prominent in public, you have to suffer in private.

We should keep our shameful deeds at home, not overseas.

Leung Leung is well aware of the moral character of those Hong Kong and Taiwan media outlets, and their so-called freedom of speech certainly includes the freedom to spread rumors.

As for the so-called rule of law society, that's a joke.

If you really make a mistake on stage, those media outlets that dislike the mainland will probably be in deep trouble.

Aside from the fact that they had no choice but to comply, this was also a test of just how much influence the Blue Shark band had.

Lin Hanrui was studying in Lianwan City during the day, so Xu Mei became the owner of the Pioneer 100. She put the same silly effort she had when she learned to play the guitar into it, and started to challenge herself again. She spent half the day playing the guitar and the other half practicing DJing, making herself look like a little devil. When Liang Liangtou came to the disco to take a look, he didn't even recognize her at first glance.

Xu Mei was wearing wrinkled clothes and her hair was disheveled, making her look like Mei Chaofeng.

"If your mother saw you like this, she'd chase me down two blocks with a stick!"

He brought someone else's daughter out and made her look like this; of course, her mother would confront him when she saw it.

Xu Mei burst out laughing.

"Alright! You're off today. I'll take you shopping. You have ten minutes to get yourself together and look presentable. Don't let people think I'm walking around with a female ghost!"

Xu Mei rolled her eyes at Liang Liang, turned off the machine, and went to tidy herself up.

Ten minutes later, she emerged looking as beautiful as a flower.

Xing Chenghu followed Liang Liang with one of his henchmen, keeping a distance of three steps.

Tianjing Street was the largest and most prosperous commercial street in Lianwan City in the 1990s.

Tens of thousands of people stroll along this street every day, like a flowing river.

Liang Liang led Xu Mei like two drops of water in a river, flowing slowly with the current.

They weren't there to see the scenery. Although it was already getting cooler in southern Liaoning at the end of September, the temperature was still so high amidst the crowds.

Fine beads of sweat had appeared on Xu Mei's face.

This was due to the heat generated by the friction of the crowd, but more so from the pile of bags and pouches she was holding in front of her.

She was a little dizzy and couldn't remember how many clothing stores they had entered, and they never left empty-handed from any of them.

After several rounds, her arms and arms were full of bags and pouches.

"I told Tiger to hold it for you, but you were so petty, acting like no one could take it from you and insisted on carrying it yourself! Now you're in trouble!" Liang Liang said sarcastically from the side, empty-handed.

These bags were full of clothes. With the change of leadership coming up soon, the girls' dresses, miniskirts, and the like would soon be packed away and put away. So Liang Liang took her out to buy clothes for the changing season.

"Who told you to buy so much? Are you planning to take all the clothes from this street back home?"

"It's still early! I'm planning to buy you all the clothes you need until your wedding."

Xu Mei thought it over and over, her face twitching with frustration. In the end, she realized that it would be too difficult for her small frame to carry all the bags and purses back to her residence, so she had no choice but to hand them over to Xing Chenghu.

"Brother Tiger! Thank you for your help."

Xing Chenghu laughed and handed the bags and pouches to his underlings behind him.

Bringing him out here is just for him to do hard labor.

Liang Liang glanced at the bags and pouches, pondered for a moment, and then waved her hand: "That's enough! Let's go home!"

Xu Meixin was overjoyed and finally returned home. She was very worried that Liang Liang would move the entire Tianjing Street back home.

Do you know why I bought two of each of these clothes?

“My master got a share! You wouldn’t be targeting my master…” Xu Mei knew, of course; she wasn’t stupid.

"Can't you be a little more successful?"

Xu Mei smiled mischievously.

"How long have you been out?"

"It will be two months by October 5th!"

"Are you homesick? If you are, go home and stay for a couple of days before coming back!"

A fifteen-year-old girl is still a minor, and it's impossible for her not to miss home after being away for so long.

"I can make it!"

That's a bit hypocritical of me to say.

"How about this, I'll take you back after the National Day holiday."

Liang Liang took out a thousand yuan and put it into Xu Mei's pocket.

"I have so many things to do all day long, I can't come to see you often. Don't skimp on yourself, buy whatever you want to eat. Everything else is secondary, your health is the most important thing."

"Thank you, Brother Liang!"

"If anyone bullies you, go find Brother Fangya and let Brother White Fang take care of them!"

"Know!"

"Then I'm leaving!"

Liang Liang looked at Xu Mei with mixed feelings and sighed softly.

Liang Liang has been extremely busy for the past month or so, having recorded the master tapes for two albums and now preparing for the recording of demos for her third album.

This is an album by the Yinna River band. Chen Xiaoqi specifically called to ask about it.

Starting in October, the harvest season begins in southern Liaoning, so it's impossible for Gao Xing and the others to come and record. Even if they did come, they would have to finish their farm work by mid-November.

Liang Liang explained the actual situation to Chen Xiaoqi, saying that the farmer album wouldn't be released before the new year anyway, so there was no rush to record it; they would record it in November.

Pacific has a ton of albums scheduled for release by the end of this year, so missing one won't make a big difference.

National Day is a time when those who have left home return to express their homesickness, and it is also a rare opportunity for young people to relax and enjoy nature.

Of course, there are also quite a few people who enjoy music and watching movies.

Starting in the summer, many karaoke stalls have appeared on the streets.

A color television, an amplifier, a WanYan VCD player, and a few VCD discs are all you need to openly make money on the street.

Singing a song costs three yuan, so it's still very popular.

But just like square dancing a decade or so later, the problem of disturbing the peace is unavoidable. Plus, winter is just around the corner, so singing in the street would be crazy.

Thus, karaoke bars began to emerge in the city.

The same is true in Lianwan City, where many karaoke bars have sprung up.

This is a huge market, and Liang Liang certainly can't ignore it.

However, he has no plans to start a karaoke business this year.
