The Watering Boys are all descendants of workers, and they have that stubborn spirit of workers in their bones.
The Northeast is about to experience a massive wave of layoffs, and their resentment will only increase, not decrease. It's unrealistic to expect them to change their ways.
However, they were quite adept at finding vacant houses, and by the afternoon of the next day they had found four vacant factory clubs for Liang Liang.
After entering the 1990s, the industry in Northeast China began to decline. Some enterprises started laying off workers as early as 1994. Many enterprises in Yahe have entered the layoff period this year.
Although Songyang, a major industrial city, has not yet been affected by bankruptcies and layoffs, the decline of enterprises is becoming apparent.
These clubs exist to enrich the cultural life of the company's employees.
However, after entering the 1990s, with the decline of corporate social responsibility, companies no longer cared about the cultural life of their employees, and these clubs were left abandoned and idle.
Liang Liang hired two taxis to take the members of the Stirring Boys band, and with their guidance, they surveyed all four locations.
After comparing various options, Liang Liang ultimately chose a club at a machine tool factory in Songyang.
This club is not the largest or best-equipped of the four.
However, it has two advantages: one is that it is located on a side street and not far from a main street, making its location relatively convenient.
Another advantage is that the products produced by this company will still be in market demand for a long time to come. Unless there is forced layoffs, there is no risk of bankruptcy in the short term.
That should be enough to get through until around 2000.
This occupied a prominent place in Liang Liang's heart.
He didn't want to rent this place this year only to have the business go bankrupt next year, which would bring a lot of unpredictable and messy disputes.
The club faces this side street. It is more than 20 meters away from the main street to the club's gate, and there is an open space of several hundred square meters in front of the gate.
The club isn't very big; judging from the number of wooden chairs, it can only accommodate about 500 people.
What pleased Liang Liang even more was that there was someone cleaning the place, although it was only cleaned once in a very long time.
As the first small theater in Songyang, 500 people is enough. If it's profitable, then open a second and a third theater. If it's not profitable, then just open this one.
Liang Liang was not one to procrastinate. Once he had his eye on a place, he immediately sent Han Chui to make contact and find out what price he could pay to rent it.
Han Chui dared not delay, so he asked the Stirring Boys band to take him to contact the relevant leaders of the company.
Han Chui went to contact his business, while Liang Liang prepared for the performance.
Songyang is a heavy industrial city, and probably due to this influence, Songyang's music fans have a special fondness for heavy metal, and most of the bands in Songyang are also metal-based.
After learning about this situation, the Blue Shark Band made corresponding adjustments to their performance program. For example, the three slow-paced songs related to their hometown that started their first performance in Lianwan were replaced with three songs with a stronger rhythm.
Three upbeat songs from Blue Shark's second album, "No Place to Hide," were selected for inclusion.
They are "No Place to Hide", "Don't Bother Me" and "Facial Makeup".
These are the first time the Black Panther Band has performed songs from this album since Liang Liang promised to sing them.
They didn't sing a single song from this album at their first stop in Lianwan.
After a rehearsal, the second stop of the Blue Shark Band's national tour kicked off in Songyang at 7 pm on August 12.
The show started promptly at 7:30, with the 37 Degrees 2 band and the Witness band taking the stage first.
The two bands together comprised eight people, making for a truly spectacular scene.
The two bands have put in a lot of effort these past few days to prepare for this opening act performance.
They first performed "Eternal Waiting" by the Witnesses, followed by "Emotion" by the 37 Degrees 2 Band.
The melodies of these two songs are really not that great; they are niche songs that most people wouldn't really appreciate.
The applause was purely polite and contained absolutely no passion.
That's what I think in my heart, but I can't say it out loud.
"Good evening, folks of Songyang, brothers and sisters!"
Liang Liang had no choice but to take on the role of host again.
"Tonight is a night for our Blue Shark Band and the brothers and sisters of Songyang City to get to know each other. We hope that the songs of our Blue Shark Band will bring you a good mood and a wonderful night."
"The two bands that just performed are certainly familiar to the people of Songyang, young and old. They are the Witness Band and the 37.2 Degrees Band. Let's give them another round of applause to thank them for their wonderful performance."
Under Liang Liang's influence, the applause was much more enthusiastic this time.
The occupancy rate of Balihe Stadium was clearly not full, appearing to be only around 80%.
If we can really achieve an 80% occupancy rate, that would be great.
After the opening chat, the performance began.
The first opening song of the Blue Shark Band was "Facial Makeup", followed by "Don't Bother Me", and the third song was "No Place to Hide".
These three songs were performed without any pauses, one after another in one go.
When the music stopped and the fans realized the song was over and there would be no more, they generously gave them a round of applause.
Tonight, almost everyone in Songyang City who plays rock music received an invitation.
If you can see the Blue Shark band perform for free, anyone who doesn't come must have had their head crushed when they were born.
Even the Minus Forty Degrees band, who had a grudge against Liang Liang, came.
However, at this time, the band had changed two members. The original lead singer and guitarist had gone north to Harbin for fun, and now the lead singer and guitarist in the band had been replaced by other people.
The newly appointed members were naturally unaware of the feud between their band and Blue Shark, and they cheered loudly from below the stage, completely oblivious to the situation.
After the Blue Shark Band performed twelve songs, the Hanmei Group took the stage.
"Listening to men sing all the time gets boring. Let's change things up and have our two beautiful ladies, the Hanmei Duo, perform two songs for us. What do you all think?"
And beautiful women?
Of course, no one refused.
"Next, please welcome Ms. Xu Mei to perform a dance piece called 'My Heart Will Go On' for everyone."
After Liang Liang finished announcing the program, he left the stage, leaving Xu Mei and Lin Hanrui...
Lin Hanrui stayed at the disco, and only Xu Mei came, so there was nothing for Lin Hanrui to do.
Xu Mei couldn't really be said to have appeared on stage; she was already on stage, just in an inconspicuous position.
This time, the lights shone on her, finally revealing her beauty.
The people of Songyang were immediately captivated by Xu Mei's charm, and whistles and shouts rose and fell.
These beasts yelled for over a minute! Have they never seen a beautiful woman before?
