The song is called "Ice Age", but on Bilibili, it's also called "Ines is really strong".
Liang Liang, who was somewhat clueless about foreign languages, was confused. What should she call him?
Whatever you call foreigners, they named this song "The Future is Blooming Ahead," whatever!
But you are no longer here.
And I have woken up.
I saw the windowsill you walked past.
The flowers are in full bloom
I know I will eventually wake up.
Change nothing
Because I know my future will blossom in the distance.
After I reach the end of the world
Is someone waiting in a faraway place?
What kind of freedom is that at the end of another world?
WOWOWO, the End of Another World
…
The melody of this song is very beautiful. In Liang Liang's mind, this is the only song on the foreign playlist that he recognizes in terms of melody.
He didn't write the lyrics for this song; they were lyrics for a Chinese version that was originally circulating online, and he wasn't sure who wrote them.
He only made a few minor changes to the lyrics before singing it.
This is a song whose melody remains at a constant level, somewhat like a thunderclap in silence.
After the song ended, the audience was still captivated by its beautiful melody.
Next, Liang Liang sang "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," a song that premiered in the documentary.
This song brought the performance to its climax, and when the music stopped, the applause in the audience lasted for a long time.
After these two songs, the first performance of the Haiyun Music Festival came to an end.
"The first performance of the Haiyun Music Festival has come to an end. The evening show will start at 7:30 pm. The evening show program is different from the daytime show. If you want to see the evening show, please go to buy your tickets at 6 pm. When leaving, please do not crowd. Leave in an orderly manner and be sure to pay attention to safety."
Because there were so many bands performing, only about half of the shows were played, and the only well-known band to perform was the host band, Blue Shark.
With artists like Black Panther, Xu Wei, Black Island, Han Chuang, Sea Waves, and Mayday yet to perform, the evening's show is even more anticipated.
The audience left the theater reluctantly.
Small vendors are the most sensitive group; the street outside the music school stretches all the way to the main street and is lined with all kinds of food stalls.
Some audience members started their journey home as soon as they left the music school courtyard, while others were immediately drawn to the food stalls, sitting down to drink beer and eat skewers, waiting to buy tickets to watch the night show when they went on sale.
There are so many famous bands' performances that we haven't seen yet, so of course these people want to attend one after another. If they go home for dinner and then come back, they might not be able to get tickets.
Liu Wen probably had the best view of the entire audience; he was watching the performance from an upper floor on the west side, with a commanding view of the entire landscape.
He had attended many galas and concerts, but this was the first time he had seen something like a music festival.
He was deeply moved by the passion and energy shown by the young people, especially by those inspiring and uplifting songs, which made him feel as if he had become younger himself.
Things that I had been unsure about before, suddenly seemed to have been decided at this moment.
Four thousand eight hundred tickets were sold during the daytime session, generating twenty-eight thousand eight hundred yuan in revenue.
After the event ended, Han Chui presented him with the data from the event.
Liang Liang's treatment of each band was decent; the performance fee was 1,000 yuan, and food and lodging were provided for bands from out of town.
These poor out-of-town bands might not come if they aren't paid a higher performance fee.
Even if they wanted to come, they might not be able to scrape together the travel expenses.
Liang Liang paid them such high appearance fees mainly so that they could recognize their own value and feel that they were still capable and could be saved.
This will give them more confidence to continue, provided they are on the right track.
After paying each band's appearance fee and taxes, plus sharing the cost of food, lodging, and other expenses for out-of-town bands, there's practically nothing left.
The first performance was enough to break even.
Liang Liang was quite satisfied with the result; at least he didn't lose money.
Based on the first daytime show, the evening show, which is one dollar more expensive than the daytime show, could still generate some profit.
"Mr. Liu! Please give us some feedback! This is our first time organizing something like this, and we're basically just figuring it out blindly. Please take a look and see if there's anything unreasonable, and we'll make up for it next time."
During dinner, Liang Liang poured Liu Wen a glass of wine.
"I was so focused on watching the show that I didn't pay attention to the other segments! All I can say is that the program was very well organized. If the Chinese rock scene were to sing songs like the ones at your music festival, how could they not be given a chance to shine?"
"Hehe! This is a music festival I organized, so of course it has to be run according to my standards. Even so, some people still say that there is no freedom to perform, too many rules and regulations, and that there is no diversity of expression."
"That's nonsense. Without rules, there can be no order. Every industry needs some regulations to keep things in check. Otherwise, if everyone just does whatever they want, wouldn't that be chaos?"
"You've been a leader for many years, so you naturally have this awareness, but ordinary people don't have this awareness and wouldn't think this way."
"Just do it the way you want, don't worry about what others say. I think you've done it perfectly."
"Mr. Liu! That row of buildings on the east wall only needs painting and decoration inside. It will be ready for use in a month. The first floor will be used as a workshop for Elegant Audio-Visual CDs, which will also be operational in a little over a month. What I need now is someone who can light the way forward. What do you think…"
"You little brat, you want me to work for you again!"
"Mr. Liu! How can this be called working for me? This is called serving the people, okay? With someone as enlightened as you overseeing things, I can rest assured about what kind of programs and DVDs will be produced in the future. You are using your remaining energy to guide us greenhorns and respond to the call of the country. This is such a meaningful thing!"
Liu Wen laughed: "Don't try to fool me. No matter how eloquently you talk, I won't be fooled. Let's talk about this after your music festival is over."
Liang Liang's intuition told her: There's hope!
After dinner, it won't be long before the next ticket sale starts.
Liang Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
He also planned to go up to the small building that evening to watch the show attentively.
The Blue Shark band has already performed during the day, so they don't plan to perform tonight. There are so many bands performing, they won't make a difference.
Music festivals don't need hosts. The bands on stage can talk as much as they can, and if they can't, they can just announce the name of a song and that's it.
Liang Liang felt that she could finally enjoy a peaceful and comfortable retirement.
But upon seeing the two women, he sighed.
My peaceful life is gone again.
