By 2000, China already had two official music festivals: Midi in April and Haiyun in May.
The Midi Music Festival completely adopted the business model of the Haiyun Music Festival, and thus it made a profit in its first year last year, although the amount was not large, at least it did not lose money.
This year marks the second edition of the Midi Music Festival, and quite a few bands from Lianwan went to join in the fun.
The Midi Music Festival is followed by the Haiyun Music Festival in two weeks.
Luo Lin's album "Western Region Love Songs" was completed when the Haiyun Music Festival opened.
The album was initially promoted with the tagline "the perfect combination of Dao Lang and the Blue Shark Band".
When making the music video, Luo Lin's image was deliberately hidden, and only the members of the Blue Shark band were shown playing the music.
After the recording of the album "Love Songs of the Western Regions" was completed, the Blue Shark Band also began recording their album.
Fu Yang has been replaced as the lead singer for this new album.
Fu Yang's voice is about 50-60% similar to Liang Liang's. At first glance, they are almost indistinguishable, but die-hard fans who listen to Blue Shark's songs regularly will be able to tell the difference.
While the Blue Shark band was recording their album, Liang Liang was traveling around various northern provinces, attending the completion ceremonies of several cinemas.
After nearly three years of construction, most of the Haiyun Cinema Lines he established in the north have been completed, and a small number are also in the process of completion.
After these cinemas are completed, interior decoration and furnishing will be carried out, and they are expected to be connected to the network and put into use by October.
Meanwhile, Jin Hao's cinema chain in the south was almost completed.
Once they are connected to the network, the entire coastal and northern regions will be covered.
For the album "Love Songs of the Western Regions", Haiyun Company invested millions in promotion, with the focus being on the song "Love Songs of the Western Regions".
Liang Liang is absolutely aware of the song's influence; it has had an impact for many years.
If this song becomes a hit, the album's sales will be guaranteed.
Perhaps good things come to those who wait, as the album's first-week sales were not ideal, with only over 300,000 copies sold.
However, it was a slow burner; in the second week of the album's release, its total sales climbed to 800,000, and in the third week, its total sales reached 1.3 million.
Normally, album sales decrease over time after release, but the album "Western Region Love Songs" defied this trend. Instead of decreasing sales, it increased, with sales rising by more than 100,000 copies every week.
One month after the album's release, cumulative sales had exceeded two million copies.
Dao Lang's name resounded throughout China.
The only regret is that we don't know what this person named Dao Lang looks like. His back is only shown in two songs on the album, but there is no image of his face.
This has led to various speculations among fans, with most saying that Dao Lang's appearance is unacceptable to the audience and he is too ashamed to show his face in public.
This legend is quite detrimental to singers, because people usually imagine their favorite idols to be perfect, and very few people would idolize someone who is ugly.
Dao Lang was rumored to be ugly, which affected his career.
However, Haiyun Company neither intended to correct nor deny the rumors. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. The more these people speculated, the more they wanted to see Dao Lang's true face, and the more they cared about Dao Lang's news.
Therefore, every now and then, an article related to Dao Lang will appear in the celebrity section of Haiyun's website.
This is how to maintain popularity and keep Dao Lang in the public eye.
Haiyun.com is now the largest entertainment website in China. Since last year, Haiyun.com has added an online literature section, attracting a large number of literature enthusiasts to the site.
The purpose of this section is to accumulate materials.
Haiyun has its own film production company and needs a lot of script material and IP.
The creative staff at Haiyun Company draw inspiration from these online works to create film and television works suitable for the market.
Liang Liang also knew the difficulties faced by online writers, and from the beginning, she operated the business according to the principle of paid operation.
Editors select works suitable for the general public and sign them for contracts. Once a signed work reaches a certain word count, it is published for paid reading.
The fee is two cents per thousand words, with the website and the author splitting the revenue 50/50.
If a signed and published work reaches the required number of updates and is continuously updated, a full attendance bonus of 50 yuan will be awarded.
If a work is chosen by Haiyun Audio-Visual to be adapted into a film or television series, Haiyun will also pay the author a certain amount of remuneration.
These measures have brought together numerous literature enthusiasts to Haiyun.com, resulting in the creation of countless excellent works.
These outstanding works inspired the writers in Haiyun's scriptwriting department, who then wrote numerous scripts.
These scripts are naturally destined to be adapted into film and television works.
Haiyun Films has two movies and three TV series planned for production this year.
A TV series and a movie were completed in the first half of the year.
Xu Mei is the protagonist of this TV series that has just finished filming. When she returned to Lianwan, she ran to the Blue Shark Band's rehearsal hall and almost mistook Fu Yang for Liang Liang.
The Blue Shark band members didn't remind her; they just watched the spectacle from the sidelines.
Fu Yang hurriedly issued a statement clarifying that he was not Liang Liang.
Xu Mei circled Fu Yang twice, and this time she was sure that these guys weren't playing a prank on her, and that this person was definitely not Liang Liang.
Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao also saw Fu Yang and almost fainted on the spot.
Then the two women angrily went to find someone.
The implication is that Liang Liang didn't find Fu Yang sooner. If she had found him sooner, they wouldn't have left. Even if one of them was a fake, it would have been better for them, at least they would have felt more at peace.
Liang Liang was both amused and exasperated. How could this be the same thing?!
This is passable?
The two of them made a scene, and the relationship between them eased up immediately.
This is the first time they've been face-to-face since their public falling out last year.
"Hey you two, when are you going to leave Hailanghua and go enjoy yourselves?"
Xiao Yao rolled her eyes: "What's wrong! You want to kick us out now?"
"What are you talking about? If you don't leave, I will never kick you out, but that's impossible. Your fiancés will not agree to you staying in the entertainment industry forever."
"That's true. We're leaving at the end of the year. You heartless bastard, will you even miss us?"
"Of course not! You were already someone else's wives by then, and I think that would be immoral."
"Pah! You're a piece of trash!"
"Not human!"
Liang Liang laughed: "Stop talking nonsense. If you guys really leave at the end of the year, I'll have to find replacements now. The Hailanghua brand can't fall."
"Then find someone to come to the waves now, we can keep them there for a while longer."
The candidates had already been chosen; out of the seven members of the Yantian Troupe, only two needed to be transferred over.
