There weren't many people in the dance hall yet. Only a few bands that might perform on stage were sitting lazily in the lobby, puffing away and flirting with the female staff.
The band 1989 also arrived, and the fat guy was sitting on the stage playing the keyboard.
Liang Liang only remembers "Heart's Prayer" and "Talk" from this band; he doesn't recall their other songs.
Their famous song "Friends" from that time may not have been made yet.
There's really no need to test this band's skill level, since they're an old band. Liang Liang mainly wanted to see the Dreaming Band perform.
After Su Ennan communicated with the Neon Palace Ballroom, the Dream Band went on stage.
What songs do we have?
"The Moment of Feeling" and "A Beacon of Hope"
"The Light of Hope" has indeed been released.
"Just sing 'Light of Hope' and sing it well!"
Liang Liang quickly found the best spot and sat down with a serious expression.
Liu Yuyong looked at Liang Liang with some surprise; he rarely saw Liang Liang so solemn.
As the gothic intro began, Douwei, with an equally serious expression, started singing.
The sun burns with sorrow
Bringing this light of hope to the world
We fly to a distant place
A serendipitous adventure in search of a beautiful dream…
That's the real Douwei voice, the authentic sound.
At that moment, Liang Liang suddenly felt her eyes well up with tears, as if they were about to burst forth.
He finally fulfilled his dream of hearing Douwei perform live.
His band is called Dream, and Liang Liang is also dreaming.
Everything felt like a dream.
Liu Yuyong was already somewhat surprised by Liang Liang's upright posture earlier, but now that the guy's eyes were glistening with tears, Liu Yuyong was even more astonished.
This was the first time he had ever seen Liang Liang's eyes well up with tears of emotion while listening to someone sing.
What's going on?
The song "Light of Hope" is over six minutes long.
After Douwei finished singing the last line, Liang Liang closed his eyes and sighed.
The true god of rock and roll was born for rock and roll. When he one day distanced himself from rock and roll, his presence naturally and obviously disappeared.
Did he stop singing later on because he had a problem with his voice?
This question suddenly flashed into Liang Liang's mind like lightning.
Although the possibility is slim, it definitely exists.
After performing "Light of Hope," the Dreamers left the stage.
Liang Liang called Dou Wei over.
"Brother Dou! Have you heard the album 'No Place to Hide'?"
Douwei nodded.
Can you sing the songs from there?
Douwei thought for a moment and nodded: "They should all be able to sing."
Have you band members rehearsed?
Douwei shook his head: "I just hummed it to myself."
"How about this? We'll collaborate with your band to provide accompaniment, and you can sing a song, okay?"
"good…"
"Hey! Aren't you... what are your names again?" Two long-haired youths appeared in front of Liang Liang, looking down at him.
They were two of the long-haired people I met on the Great Wall yesterday.
"Brother Zhang! Brother Wu!" Douwei and the members of the Dreaming Band treated the two guys with utmost respect.
Zhang Fenggu and Wu Pengfei from the band Yidian!
Although the Dreaming Band didn't reveal the other person's name, only their surname, Liang Liang immediately remembered who they were.
"My name is Liang Liang! If I remember correctly, you are Zhang Fenggu and Wu Pengfei from point A, right?"
"Kid! You have a good memory. I didn't expect you'd actually dare to come to the capital!"
"Jincheng is the political and cultural center of the country, not some den of dragons and tigers. Why wouldn't I dare to come?"
"Kid! You stole our buddy's menstrual championship in Haikou, shouldn't you give back some of that money?" Wu Pengfei actually plopped down next to Liang Liang and even tried to put his arm around Liang Liang's shoulder, but Liang Liang raised his hand to block him.
"Wu Pengfei! You'd better stay away from me. We're not on the same wavelength and we're not very familiar with each other. It'll be uncomfortable for everyone if we sit so close."
You haven't answered my question yet!
"What's the problem?"
"You stole the championship from the Broken Dreams band, and you just pocketed the 80,000 yuan prize money without a second thought?"
"What kind of talk is that? We earned it through our own abilities, so why shouldn't we keep it? Are we going to throw it out in the street and let it create a whirlwind?"
"Hey kid! You're pretty arrogant! Do you even know where you are?"
Su Ennan, who was standing to the side, felt something was off every day, so he stuck his head over.
"What's going on with these two guys?"
"This is none of your business, just stay out of it!"
At that moment, the band 1989 also came over.
"Maple Valley! Pengfei! What's going on?" asked the fat guy from the 1989 band.
The fat guy isn't the same fat guy who dominated the Beijing entertainment scene eight or nine years later; now he's just a veteran in the rock scene.
"It's nothing! I had a bit of a grudge with these out-of-towners, and it just so happens that I ran into them here, so I'll deal with it."
Liang Liang didn't care about the two people in the band at all.
Although there's a fine line between rock musicians and street thugs, most of them are the kind of people who are cautious about both big and small things. If you ask them to sleep with one fan, they'll definitely sleep with five. But when it comes to doing something serious, most of them are nothing special.
Liang Liang stood up and waved to Dou Wei: "Let's continue our conversation, business is more important!"
Liang Liang was planning to collaborate with Liu Yuyong and the Dreaming Band, having Dou Wei sing "No Place to Hide," and he didn't have time to waste on the people he had arranged to meet.
Before he could react, Wu Pengfei grabbed Liang Liang by the collar: "Want to leave? Not so easy! You're not leaving the palace until you've explained yourself properly!"
Just as Liang Liang was about to say something, Ban Ya appeared in front of Wu Pengfei with a gloomy face, staring at him without saying a word.
Books often say that some people have eyes that are like swords, knives, and spears, but Liang Liang, who has lived two lives, has never seen such eyes.
But now he saw it for himself: a person's gaze can truly be like a sword, a knife, or a spear. Fang's gaze was just like that; his eyes had no expression, but they seemed to hold the glint of swords and spears.
Moreover, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.
This gave Liang Liang the illusion that Ban Ya's gaze could truly kill.
Wu Pengfei didn't take it seriously at first, but after a dozen seconds, he felt a chill run through his body and his legs went weak. Those eyes made him very uncomfortable, like a black hole slowly devouring his soul.
His heartbeat seemed erratic, beating irregularly.
Wu Pengfei had no choice but to release his grip on Liang Liang's collar: "I only grabbed his collar for a moment..."
"Get lost!" Fang squeezed out the word through his teeth, not having time to listen to the other person's nonsense.
"Who are you? You dare tell me to get lost! You just wait!" Wu Pengfei said, kicking back as he put on airs.
Ban Ya didn't say anything, he just glanced at Wu Pengfei and retreated behind Liang Liang.
