After the film crew from within the province settled in Yangcheng Street, they watched the music festival that afternoon.
The actors in the production team strongly requested to see a music festival performance, arguing that it would increase their knowledge and cultural understanding, greatly helping them to perform well in the play.
The production team leader agreed, since they hadn't filmed since they were new, and it wasn't surprising that these young people liked to watch the excitement.
After instructing the crew to be careful, he left it to them, and the actors happily went to watch the performance at the still unfinished Qin Palace next door.
The three venues were merged into two. Originally, each venue had an average of 13,000 to 14,000 people, but after being reduced to two venues, each venue had more than 20,000 people.
The bands that were originally scheduled to perform at three venues have been reduced to just two.
This resulted in more bands taking the stage, and the number of pieces they played was reduced to one per performance.
Having gained experience from performing at two music festivals, Haiyun Company organized the event in a very orderly manner.
Luo Lin performed his song "Little Rain" on stage last night with the Desert Wind and Sand Band.
This is a song he really likes, and it appeared on several of his albums in his previous life.
Before his hit song "The First Snow of 2002" became a sensation in 2004, he had released several albums in his previous life.
"The Love of Maiquer" in 1998, "Walking into Xinjiang" in 1999, "Xinjiang Original First Strike" in 2000, and "Desert Love Song" in 2002, etc.
The song "Little Rain" appears several times in these albums, which shows his fondness for it.
This afternoon, they performed "Under the Northern Sky".
The song "Under the Northern Sky" is the same piece as the one he wrote after he became famous.
The only change is in the orchestration.
Liang Liang was speechless when he heard the arrangement of this song. The Desert Wind and Sand Band's level was not bad, but it was definitely not top-notch.
Liang Liang could find more than a dozen bands of this caliber in the maritime cabaret and small theaters.
The accompaniment for this piece needs to be rewritten; that won't do.
After Luo Lin and his band came down, Liang Liang called Luo Lin to his temporary office in the film and television city.
His band wasn't performing in the afternoon, so he had time to chat with Luo Lin.
"Brother Luo! Haiyun Audio-Visual is preparing to release your album after the music festival, but some songs need to be changed. Do you have any opinions?"
Last time, Liang Liang and Luo Lin discussed the release of this album, but they didn't go into details. Today, Liang Liang is prepared to talk about this album in more depth.
"It mainly involves the accompaniment and arrangement."
Luo Lin had no objection to only changing the accompaniment. He also felt that the accompaniment for these pieces was rather weak, but he couldn't come up with a good solution.
Liang Liang used their recently performed play "Under the Northern Sky" as an example to explain his ideas for change.
"Since this song is called 'Under the Northern Sky,' the intro should ideally highlight the vastness and desolation of the northern sky. The original intro of this song seems like it was just put together to be, and it doesn't bring out the mood at all."
"Brother! So, what do you suggest we do to change it?"
Do you think adding the guzheng and flute to the prelude could create a sense of desolation?
Luo Lin was somewhat surprised: "This..."
"Let's do a drill tomorrow morning and see how it goes."
The Yinna River Band is here too; we can just have them coordinate.
"Brother Luo! I've written some lyrics and even composed the beginning, but my brain just goes blank and I can't continue. Do you think you can give me some inspiration?"
As she spoke, Liang Liang pushed a sheet of music in front of Luo Lin.
Luo Lin picked up the sheet music and hummed the first line: "After the whole summer, the sadness hasn't gotten any better."
That's it, just this one line, and the rest is all lyrics.
This song is "Twilight" by Green Island singer Xiao Gang.
Every record company and every singer in the world probably hates piracy, but there is one exception: Xiao Gang.
Xiao Gang's rise to fame can be described as an accident. Without piracy, he would have remained a behind-the-scenes musician and would never have been able to step onto the stage as a singer.
He wrote songs for others and created many hit songs, which led to record companies approaching him.
His album "Transfer" was released in 2000.
However, after the album was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it disappeared without a trace, without even making a splash.
In 2002, he went to the mainland to help a mainland singer produce an album. While strolling around the streets during his free time, he unexpectedly saw a pirated copy of his album in a music and video store in Beijing. He bought a copy to keep as a souvenir.
But at the next record store, he saw another pirated version of the album, so he bought that one too.
So he kept buying them, eventually purchasing more than a dozen pirated albums.
He found it strange, wondering if I had become famous in mainland China?
The songs that made him famous were not the album's title track, "Forget" or "Betrayal".
Instead, it's the second song on side B of the album, "Twilight".
This is the story of this song from a previous life.
Let this kind of story never happen again in this life, because Liang Liang brought out this song, intending to give Luo Lin some inspiration.
The only song by Luo Lin that is somewhat controversial is the famous "Love Song of the Western Regions". For a period of time in later generations, many people said that "Love Song of the Western Regions" has similarities with "Twilight".
These two songs share some similarities in rhythm, but otherwise they are completely different.
However, Liang Liang felt that the song "Twilight" also contained some elements of the Western Regions, which might inspire Luo Lin's creation.
This time, he plans to adapt the song in a way that he co-created with Luo Lin.
Apart from the first sentence setting the tone, the rest of the sentences subtly and unexpectedly provide Luo Lin with hints and suggestions.
If Luo Lin sang the music incorrectly, he would correct it by offering suggestions.
Before they knew it, the two of them had forgotten to eat dinner, and it was almost ten o'clock by the time they finished composing the piece.
Liang Liang went to perform, and since Luo Lin and the others didn't have a performance that night, he gathered the band to rehearse this song.
Blue Shark was the headlining band of the evening music festival, and tonight they performed their new song "Why Go Far Without Ideals" on stage.
This compilation album, named after and featuring this piece, has been on the market for over twenty days.
However, Liang Liang was unaware of the specific sales figures and didn't have time to ask.
This piece was performed as the last piece of the evening and received a good response.
After the song ended and the applause and cheers ceased, Liang Liang said a few words.
It's nothing more than everyone being able to drink beer and eat skewers after the show, but please don't let any conflicts or disputes arise. He hopes his fans are rational and sensible people, not fools.
Others might get slapped in the face for saying such things, but Liang Liang's words still carry a lot of weight. In any case, not a single incident related to violence has occurred in the two days of the music festival.
