Jin Hao planned to send one of their company's music directors to accompany Liang Liang to the mainland when Liang Liang returned.
After all, since the emergence of the Four Heavenly Kings, the band's momentum in Hong Kong has been declining.
He wouldn't hesitate at all if the Blue Shark band wanted to sign with his company.
But he has to be cautious with other bands, especially those that are completely unknown. He wouldn't dare to make a decision without knowing their background.
It was Liang Liang who suggested it; otherwise, he wouldn't have even considered it.
"Mr. Jin! I have another request, but I'm not sure if I should say it?"
"Mr. Liang, please feel free to speak your mind."
"On the 15th! Mr. Su Ennan will be holding a concert in Hung Hom. I wonder if Mr. Jin would be interested in having Mr. Shi Zhang and Ms. Chen Jiewen as guest performers. I think Mr. Shi Zhang's single should be released soon. If Ms. Chen Jiewen attends, she can sing one more song from 'Sky' and 'Legend' at the concert."
"Okay, okay!" This time, Jin Hao agreed without any hesitation.
He certainly agreed without hesitation.
Su Ennan is a popular singer now, and even just riding on her popularity can increase her fame.
Shi Zhang and Chen Jiewen aren't very well-known in Hong Kong, so being able to appear at Su Ennan's concert would be entirely beneficial for them. Jin Hao would be out of his mind if he didn't agree.
Regarding the copyright of those two songs, Liang Liang was not in a hurry to make a decision. He planned to discuss how to handle the two songs after Su Ennan's concert ended.
"Miss Chen! There are still more than four days until the evening of the 15th. In these four days, you need to learn both of these songs completely. Can you do that?"
Chen Jiewen nodded.
"Since Mr. Jin has agreed to let the two of you be guests at Su Ennan's concert, we should meet again this afternoon to discuss with Su Ennan the order and time of your appearance."
This is an issue that must be determined first.
Since the performance order of Su Ennan's concert program has already been finalized, and they have rehearsed twice, it is naturally better to make some changes as soon as possible.
After these matters were settled, it was already past 11 o'clock. Liang Liang and the members of the Blue Shark band declined Jin Hao's suggestion to arrange lunch and returned to their hotel.
Su Ennan has also returned.
Liang Liang recounted how he had invited Shi Zhang and Chen Jiewen to be guest performers at his concert.
"They will come here after lunch to discuss the timing and order of their appearance."
How many songs can they sing?
"I estimate there are three songs. You know two of them, 'Sky' and 'I Can't Forget You,' and the other one is a new song called 'Legend.'"
Su Ennan frowned: "These songs haven't been officially released yet. Is it okay to sing them at the concert? Isn't that like leaking secrets?"
"Why would they leak any secrets? It's not like they're releasing an album. Whether they leak secrets or not won't affect their singing much. Maybe they'll even get unexpected results if they sing it out first."
Back then, Dao Lang's songs came out before he even appeared. People all over the world were guessing who he was. Did that affect his rise to fame?
Dao Lang's earliest songs were "Lover", "The First Snow of 2002" and "The Punishment of Impulsiveness".
The song became a hit across the country, but the person behind it never even showed up.
And so began the nationwide guessing game.
Some guessed that he was ugly and dared not show his face to others;
Some speculate that it was for a severely disabled person who was unable to perform on stage.
Some people even guessed it was for a dwarf…
Back then, everyone had all sorts of guesses, the only one that came to mind was that he had two heads and four legs.
Liang Liang remembers that when Dao Lang first appeared in the public eye, his songs had already been popular for more than half a year.
He appeared in a concert album that was clearly a bootleg.
That album was more like a fan meeting than a concert; the video quality wasn't very clear, and the scene was chaotic.
As Dao Lang sang into the microphone, female fans went up to take photos with him; they weren't young girls, but rather mature women.
Did delay someone's rise to fame by letting their song circulate for over six months before it finally gained traction?
Not only did it have no impact, it actually became incredibly popular in the end.
So, it's not necessarily a bad thing to sing a song first.
Just as Su Ennan was about to say something, his assistant came in.
"Mr. Su! The band Beyond wants to see you."
"Beyond? Where are they?"
"It's right outside the hotel."
"Please come in quickly!" Su Ennan stood up abruptly.
This isn't because he values the Beyond band so much, but because anyone who can gain Liang Liang's attention is worthy of his attention.
Beyond said he was going to reply to Liang Liang today, so this is probably what he's doing here to deliver the message.
Liang Liang guessed the result correctly, but not the process, because three members of the Beyond band showed up.
I did not see Huang Guanzhong.
It's better if we don't see this person; it saves Liang Liang from having to look at him with envy.
"Mr. Liang! If we perform 'I Like You' at Mr. Su's concert on the 15th, does that mean the copyright for this song can be sold to us?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Huang Jiajun got straight to the point.
Liang Liang nodded: "That's one way to understand it."
"Your previous songs were all in Mandarin, so why did you make a Cantonese song this time when you came to Hong Kong?"
“Mr. Wong! You’re wrong. I didn’t just write one Cantonese song, but several. ‘I Like You’ is just one of them.”
Huang Jiajun immediately became interested: "Could we get a sneak peek?"
"Not now! Everything is geared towards Brother Nan's concert. Let's discuss this again after the concert if you're still interested. By the way, where's Huang Guanzhong? Why didn't he come?"
He said he had something to do today.
"Oh!" Liang Liang didn't say anything more. He actually hoped that Huang Guanzhong would leave Beyond forever.
Although he hoped for it, he couldn't say it aloud.
"You guys seem to be in a rush for songs, are you perhaps planning to release an album?"
Huang Jiajun nodded: "Yes, our third official album has been in preparation for a long time, and we're almost ready to release it. However, we're not entirely satisfied with the title track. We think your song 'I Like You' is quite suitable."
It must be that album, "Modern Stage".
Liang Liang carefully recalled this album that the band Beyond once released.
It includes songs such as "Old Footprints", "Innocent Wounds", "Crimson Blood", "Soaring into the Sky", "Cold Rainy Night", "Midnight Wanderer", "Modern Stage", and "City Hunter".
Apart from "Cold Rainy Night" and "Old Footprints," which left a deep impression on him, he didn't remember much about the rest of the album.
Adding "I Like You" as the lead single would definitely make this album stand out.
Beyond's participation in Su Ennan's concert further expands the lineup of guests, and the number of songs performed will reach about six, which will greatly alleviate the pressure on Su Ennan.
