My brother's research on guitar is truly impressive.
Liang Liang felt he could even perform on stage with this new guitar.
It's a pity he's not a guitarist.
The Liang family also produces basses, but not as many as guitars; they can produce about seventy or eighty-eight a day.
The development of bass guitars hasn't been as rapid as that of guitars, and Liang Feng's R&D department doesn't focus its efforts on bass guitars, which is why their production volume is lower than that of guitars.
As Liang Liang strummed a bass guitar, Blue Shark Band's fourth album, "Red Flag Fluttering," was completed and officially released.
The launch ceremony was held simultaneously in Lianwan and Guangzhou, with an initial shipment of two million audio tapes and five hundred thousand CDs.
Liang Liang was not in Lianwan, but the other members of the band attended the launch ceremony.
Prior to this, the album "Chinese Rock in Berlin" had also been released in its second installment.
The first volume of this album has sold over five million copies to date and continues to sell at an extremely fast pace.
The second volume also broke the million-sales mark within a week of its release.
Eight days after the release of this album, the album "Red Flag Fluttering" was released.
This is an album where every song is full of positive energy.
Liang Liang wasn't entirely sure how well the album would sell.
After the release of Blue Shark's fourth album, Haiyun Audio-Visual Company began recording their gold rush album, "Jump Up".
After the copyright of this song was secured, Taojin designated it as the main track.
The dance portion has been filmed; now it's time for recording and post-production editing.
The album is expected to be released in November.
On October 1st, while the whole country was celebrating National Day, filming for "The Dream Factory" officially wrapped up.
The filming project, originally planned for two months, was completed in just one and a half months.
This was far beyond Liang Liang's plan. He thought that their half-baked production team would have to drag on for at least two months.
Post-production editing will take another month before it's submitted for review.
If all goes well, the film will be released during the Spring Festival period without any problem.
With filming completed, Ge You's mission was accomplished.
Liang Liang settled his payment and then took him to the airport.
"If this movie does well, we will make a series of more films. I wonder if Mr. Ge would like to collaborate again?"
"We'll see when the time comes!" Ge You replied dismissively.
Although the filming went smoothly with these mediocre actors, he couldn't guarantee what might happen in the future, so he felt it was best to stay out of it, even though the pay was really generous.
"If we schedule another film, Mr. Ge, if you are still willing to cooperate, you can bring your team."
Ge You has a great influence in the entertainment industry in Beijing.
The Beijing entertainment circle is an extremely important force in the entertainment industry, so it's not a bad thing to build relationships with them.
Liang Liang gave Ge You some benefits, using him as a connection to maintain interactions with the Beijing elite circle.
They don't necessarily want any benefits; they just want them not to create obstacles in the way.
Ge You was somewhat tempted by those words.
Being able to work with his own team, meaning he can decide on some of the roles in the movie, is something that's quite promising.
“If Mr. Ge is willing, I can provide you with a team compensation, which you can allocate as you see fit.”
Ge You himself distributes the rewards for his team, which puts him to the test.
If any disputes arise in the future, this can also be used to scam people.
"If your company continues to produce films next year, I can consider it."
After making his ambiguous statement, Ge Youling boarded the plane and returned to Beijing.
His words also implied that he was leaving open the possibility of collaborating again.
It's better to rely on yourself than on others.
Since we've already jumped into the pit of making movies, we still need to have our own actors and stars.
There's no need to train them yourself.
Every year, many handsome men and beautiful women graduate from the art schools in Beijing.
The luckiest of these people will become stars in the future, the slightly luckier will become some kind of actors, and the average ones may still find a job in this industry.
Most of them, however, may not make a name for themselves and will leave the industry to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
Therefore, actors are not a problem for Liang Liang; he can find plenty no matter what.
If all else fails, there are over two thousand students studying at his music school each year, so selecting a few who are pleasing to the eye and sending them out wouldn't be a bad thing.
After seeing Ge You off, Liang Liang returned to the company to check on Xu Wei.
Xu Wei was among the first in his company to become wealthy. One album brought him tens of millions of yuan in revenue, making him a true millionaire.
After becoming a millionaire, he became even more low-key and rarely appeared in public.
He and his demobilized girlfriend now live in a dormitory room on the fourth floor of the east side of Haiyun Music School. Besides teaching classes to the students, he spends his time writing songs in the room. It is said that he has already written several.
This guy has a problem with songwriting: he won't release songs that others find satisfactory, only those that he himself finds satisfactory.
He could compromise when he was poor, but now that he has money, he doesn't need to compromise anymore. If he's not satisfied with what he's written, he just throws it in a box, and it's probably never going to see the light of day again.
So, almost a year has passed since his last album, and he's lucky if he can write four or five songs that he's satisfied with.
Let's talk about him writing songs for his second album next year!
"President Liang!"
A woman's voice, not quite standard, came from behind.
Liang Liang, who was lying on the table preparing to take a nap, was woken up.
Who the hell is this? Can't you see I'm lying on the table getting ready to sleep? Don't you have any common sense?
Looking up, I felt relieved to see who it was.
Hannah!
Foreigners are straightforward; it's unrealistic to expect them to be perceptive.
Hannah has one more year of study abroad and will graduate next summer, but it's unlikely she'll be able to return to her home country. It's also uncertain whether her current flirting with Han Chui will lead to marriage.
Liang Liang wasn't very optimistic about their relationship. Han Chui was a bit of a womanizer. Although no woman had come to him threatening suicide yet, he certainly had his share of philandering behind the scenes.
Women are attracted to men who are good at sweet talk, and they are still happy to be deceived.
"Hannah! What can I do for you?"
"Schmidt has come to China; he wants to talk to you."
Schmidt? Who's that?
Liang Liang couldn't recall who Schmidt was for a moment, but Hannah reminded him.
"He's looking for me? What's up?"
"Didn't he buy the rights to your performance in Berlin? He made several albums based on those rights, which sold over three million copies throughout Europe. Now he wants to buy the rights to your other albums and invite you to tour Europe."
A European tour?
This is something Liang Liang hadn't considered.
