Chapter 495 At Least It's a Step Forward



The song "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" left a deep impression on the CCTV production team.

Almost everyone who hears this song feels invigorated and full of passion.

It was only then that Zhu Feng realized that Liang Liang was actually very good at bewitching people, not bewitching others, but bewitching her so much that her heart was pounding.

Liang Liang didn't have time to pay attention to the female host's psychological changes, and then sang "The Red Flag Fluttering" again.

When the last part of the song came on, "Five-star red flag, you are my pride; five-star red flag, I am proud of you," the entire audience stood up and waved their hands. It was a pity that they didn't know the song yet, otherwise it would have been another massive sing-along.

This song naturally received the loudest applause from the audience in the dance hall.

In addition to the two songs performed by the Blue Shark Band, other bands such as Hanchuang Heidao Yexing Sanjiaomao also performed their signature songs, all of which were recorded in the materials.

The live version was quite noisy, so they'll have to do some soundproofing when they get back.

The CCTV crew collected information about the Maritime Ballroom on the first day, and on the second day they went to the small theater to collect information about the second-tier bands there.

The skill level of these second-tier bands from Lianwan City also impressed the CCTV production team.

There are other bands in Lianwan City that are not affiliated with the shipping company, so they naturally won't be interviewed or filmed.

Those bands haven't changed their mindset yet; some are still indulging in decadence, so they're naturally not suitable to appear in this documentary.

The CCTV production team also collected data on the sound calibration.

More than 20 hours of footage were recorded in total.

Of course, not all of this material could appear in the documentary. After editing, it could only be compiled into a documentary of about an hour and a half in length, but it is estimated that it will not be released for another three or four months.

On the morning of March 24th, Liang Liang saw off the CCTV film crew at Zhoushui Airport.

It will take a lot of time for the CCTV production team to produce this documentary. After all, CCTV is facing a national audience, and the selection of shots will require a lot of analysis.

However, the Lianwan City TV station, which also produced a documentary about the Blue Shark band, didn't have so many troubles. They only took three days from filming and gathering materials to editing and splicing the footage to broadcasting it, and it aired on the evening of the 26th.

However, Liang Liang had already returned home on the evening of the 26th. He watched the documentary on Lianwan TV while sitting at home.

Xu Mei also sat on the edge of his kang (a heated brick bed) and enjoyed the performance of Liang Liang and the Blue Shark Band.

Ever since Liang Liang was complained about by Xu Mei's mother for not sending her a letter from Xu Mei, he learned his lesson. This time, he deliberately went to the disco to ask if Xu had sent anything to her family.

Very good. Xu Mei didn't bring anything home, but she brought herself back.

Upon learning that Liang Liang was going home to preside over the opening ceremony of his family's guitar factory, she insisted on coming back with him, as if the guitar factory belonged to her family and couldn't function without her.

After arriving home, Liang Liang began making arrangements for the opening.

There's really not much to arrange, just buy some firecrackers and hire a folk dance troupe to perform a couple of shows to liven things up.

When Liang Liang's business started operations, the other members of the Blue Shark Band naturally came to join in the fun. In addition to them, the Black Island Band and the Cold Window Band also came, and even brought the stage sound system that Liang Liang had bought for nearly a million yuan.

Gao Xing took care of the Yangko dance team; he found one in their Gushan Township.

When the documentary filmed by Lianwan City TV was broadcast, the band members sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and floor of Liang Liang's house, enjoying watching their appearance on TV.

The documentary produced by Lianwan City TV is also about half an hour long. It focuses on the Blue Shark band and introduces more than ten rock bands, their songs, and their development history.

Although they performed quite a few songs, apart from Blue Shark Band performing a complete song, "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," the other bands usually only performed half of their songs, and some even only had a short section.

Even if it's just a short segment, at least you've appeared on TV, haven't you?

This is something you could brag about for a year, at least within your circle.

If it gets featured on CCTV, that would be even more impressive; you could brag about it for a lifetime.

Seeing their own glory on TV, the band members started mocking each other.

Xu Mei and Xiao Yu, two female compatriots, acted as judges for the "poisonous snake" competition, giving a thorough dressing-down to everyone who appeared on television.

Fortunately, these guys were all thick-skinned enough that none of them were ashamed enough to die.

The documentary had just finished airing, and it was only a little past eight o'clock when these restless guys went to visit the guitar factory.

Here they saw a batch of the latest guitars produced by the guitar factory.

The styles of guitars are not particularly unique. Whether they are K-shaped or swallowtail-shaped, they are all essentially the same.

This thing has a weird shape and is pretty useless; the sound quality is what really matters.

If the sound quality is poor, even if you make the exterior look like it can fly, it's all for naught.

This batch of the latest guitars is a mass-produced product based on the electric guitar that Liang Feng made a couple of days ago.

This can be considered the first step for a small guitar factory towards producing mid-range guitars.

However, even if it's a mid-range guitar, it's still a low-end product within the mid-range category.

A tall building starts from the ground up. Last year, they could only make the lowest-end guitars priced at three or four hundred yuan. Now they have started making mid-range guitars priced at over a thousand yuan. Although they are still the lowest-end products among mid-range guitars, at least it is a step forward.

The band's guitarists picked up the guitars and examined them, all showing expressions of surprise.

The sound quality of this guitar is perfectly adequate. You could definitely pass it off as good as someone who takes it to a low-end concert.

Guitars that sell for three or four thousand yuan on the market are nothing special.

"Did your brother tinker with this guitar?" Liu Yuyong asked Liang Liang.

"Who came up with this?" Liang Liang asked back.

“This guitar should sell for two thousand on the market without any problem. If you put a foreign brand on it, you could sell it for three thousand. But if you insist on putting your own brand on it, then two thousand is the price range.”

The factory price for this batch of newly released guitars is 620 yuan, but they can sell for 1,500 yuan in the market, and some stores estimate that they can get them for 1,200 or 1,300 yuan.

Liu Yuyong is right. If you put a foreign brand on a product and sell it for 3,000, you can actually sell it. But if you put your own brand on it, you can only sell it for 2,000 even if you lose all your eggs.

Liang Liang had no intention of using a foreign brand. If you use a foreign brand, you'll just be an OEM for others for the rest of your life, and you'll never be able to create your own brand.

He'd rather earn less or nothing now than stick with his own brand. He may not have brand recognition now, but what about ten years from now? What about twenty years if ten isn't enough?

Even if we can't produce the most high-end products in the future, it would still be a victory to capture the mid-to-low-end market.
