Starting from July 20th, the courtyard of the music school began to bustle with activity.
With over two thousand music school students, it would be impossible for the place not to be lively.
Fortunately, the school building was built with soundproofing in mind, which blocked out the sound of the musical instruments; otherwise, the courtyard would be incredibly noisy.
This courtyard houses a music school, a record company, and a recording studio, so the layout is clearly problematic.
For now, we can only make do with the current conditions; these departments will eventually be separated.
Next year, Liang Liang plans to buy several hundred acres of land in a remote, undeveloped area of Lianwan City and redevelop a comprehensive building. Once some departments are moved in, the place will no longer look so cluttered and crowded.
Although the students were running around and making a ruckus in the courtyard during breaks, the recording studio to the north remained absolutely quiet.
Even before Xu Wei's group was formed, he had already become a regular here after the album recording was completed.
Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal if the Hanmei duo's song wasn't finished recording, but now it's a bit of a headache.
The Blue Shark band is about to start their tour, so they should at least have some rehearsals. This whole thing is a bit chaotic.
If we put their album recording aside and focus on the tour first, it will be next year by the time they return from the tour, and the album will be delayed again.
After thinking it over, Liang Liang decided to put this last song on hold for now. If all else fails, the album will consist of eight songs.
But Xu Mei got really into it and stayed up all night to memorize the piece.
These women are no ordinary people; if they get angry, they're capable of killing with knives.
Liang Liang has been quite overwhelmed these days. After finishing Xu Wei's album, he was busy with Han Mei's album, and at the same time, he had to rehearse with his own band. How could he not be in a mess!
However, once Hanmei and Lin Hanrui gritted their teeth and finished recording the last song, all their troubles vanished.
He poured a lot of energy into this tour. After all, this was Blue Shark Band's first serious solo national tour, so of course they had to make careful preparations.
They prepared three different program combinations for this tour.
The program covers all tracks from their three albums, and also includes some tracks that Liang Liang has sold.
The total number of songs used is nearly fifty.
These songs follow different patterns: one main pattern and two backup patterns.
August 5th, Saturday, a weekend.
The Blue Shark Band's national tour kicked off at the Lianwan City People's Stadium.
The performance began at 7:30 p.m.
The Blue Shark band has no need to worry about ticket sales when holding a concert in Lianwan City.
Lianwan Stadium can accommodate 45,000 spectators and is packed to capacity.
A very large stage was set up in the center of the stadium.
This is a stage backed by the north. Although it is not very high, it is quite large, about the size of a basketball court.
Setting up this stage took a lot of effort, and it will be dismantled overnight after the concert ends tonight.
Because there's a Jia-A League match here tomorrow night, and last year's Jia-A League champions, Lianwan FC, will be playing against a team from the south at home, so of course all the obstacles on the field need to be cleared away.
At 7:30, amidst the deafening cheers of the entire audience, the Blue Shark Band entered the stadium through the players' tunnel and took to the stage.
For this tour, he spent five million to purchase a set of sound equipment specifically for stadiums.
The equipment used to be very effective in gymnasiums, but it was somewhat inadequate for stadiums.
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; without good sound equipment, no matter how well they play their instruments, it's all for naught.
Once the money is spent, the results are naturally satisfactory.
"Good evening, fellow villagers and brothers and sisters of Lianwan City!"
The cheers and whistles from the audience were deafening.
"Today is the first stop of our Blue Shark Band's national tour. We dedicate it to our hometown folks to thank them for their support over the past two years. On behalf of the Blue Shark Band, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the folks we have here."
All members of the Blue Shark band bowed to the stands in three directions.
After the initial pleasantries, the performance began.
The band that will be performing at this concert is a newly formed band called Azure Wind, which was chosen by Liang Liang.
This band is composed of students from a university in Taiwan.
The reason Liang Liang chose this band was not because of their technical skill or how well they coordinated, but because their music was very distinctive.
Their band is called Azure Wind, and most of their songs are related to the azure color, with the sea, islands, fishing villages, and fishermen forming the main themes.
The style is lyrical rock, and each song is very distinctive. Through simple and straightforward lyrics, it paints a picture of blue sky, sea, fishermen and islands in just a few words.
Liang Liang, who was born and raised by the sea, naturally favored a band with its own unique style from the very beginning, and chose them to be the scouting band for the Blue Shark Band's Lianwan stop performance.
Universities are on summer vacation now, but these top students didn't go home. Instead, they studied at Haiyun Conservatory of Music, which was recommended by Xu Wei.
Standing on stage facing the dense crowd of spectators from the east, west, and south, the Blue Wind Band felt a little apprehensive, their legs trembling uncontrollably.
It's normal to feel a bit of pressure when facing so many people for the first time; this is when a band's ability to withstand pressure is truly tested.
Clearly, the Blue Wind Band's ability to withstand pressure wasn't great, and their singing was a bit of a mess.
The lead singer's voice was off, the guitar was out of tune, and the drums were playing terribly...
This made Liang Liang laugh.
After managing to finish the song, Azure Breeze fled the stage in a sorry state.
Liang Liang had to say a few nice words to them before going on stage, otherwise the performance might leave them with psychological trauma.
"The band that just performed for the first time was composed of students from Lianwan Maritime University. They haven't been a band for long, but they are very talented. That's why I chose them to perform for the first time. I didn't expect that they couldn't withstand the pressure from more than 40,000 fellow villagers. They were a bit nervous during the performance, and the effect wasn't very good. Fellow villagers of Lianwan, will you laugh at them?"
The audience burst into laughter, but most people replied that they wouldn't laugh at the joke.
"Please remember their names. They might surprise you someday. Now, our performance will officially begin."
Liang Liang didn't announce the song's name. As soon as he finished speaking, the band started playing. If you were a die-hard fan of the Blue Shark band, you would know what song it was just by listening to the intro.
