The intensely rhythmic melody, the sharp, edgy lyrics, and the metallic screams transformed the entire stadium into a volcano erupting in flames.
The passion in people's hearts was completely released; they cried, shouted, sang, and danced—they were practically insane.
Hats and shoes flew up, and even a girl's bib flew into the sky.
"You're a fucking prodigy! Where did you find such a band?" Su Ennan exclaimed backstage.
He had seen the song during rehearsals, but he didn't find it particularly remarkable.
But what I didn't expect was that the song would have such a powerful presence in front of so many people.
This is a song born for grand occasions.
Liang Liang was also dumbfounded. He knew that this song would create a climax, but he did not expect it to create such a big climax. If he had known this would happen, he should have put this song at the end of the performance. Now that it has created such a big climax, how can the rest of the performance be performed?
“There are actually many bands in Lianwan, but like bands across the country, they have fallen into a misconception. If you don’t pursue freedom in your area, you are considered to have a low level of vision; if you don’t record some of the darkness of history, you are considered to have no depth; if you don’t describe the tragedy and darkness of society, your songs are considered to have no humanistic feelings; if your songs do not hesitate to satirize the country, they are considered to have a low level of taste and no criticality. They struggle and struggle in this quagmire, unable to see the future or hope.”
Su Ennan carefully considered Liang Liang's words and chuckled: "You're absolutely right, your summary is spot on."
It's not time yet. In a few years, if your songs don't contain a few foreign words or phrases, you'll be considered out of touch with the international community.
Just as Liang Liang was about to say something more, the music on stage stopped, but the shouts, cheers, and whistles from the audience continued.
"Hey Liang! Shouldn't you go up on stage and say something? The Black Island Band's performance is over." As the applause and cheers gradually subsided, Su Ennan noticed that Liang Liang was still sitting backstage and reminded him.
"Ah!" Liang Liang then realized that he had been distracted and made a mistake!
Liang Liang hurriedly went up onto the stage.
At this point, the Black Island Band was also a bit at a loss. They had originally planned to sing this song, and after going offstage, they had to rush back to the Haiyun Dance Hall to fill in for the next act.
But after the song ended, the host disappeared, and they didn't know whether to leave the stage or stay on it.
If they stay on stage, what are they going to do? Just stand there?
"Friends! Fellow villagers! I... am back!"
"You're back too late, the atmosphere's gone cold, we want a refund!" someone in the audience jeered.
"Brother, that's not right. I asked you to refund the tickets, not because I was targeting you. Why are you trying to piss on me?"
The audience burst into laughter.
"Excuse me, everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes, and I just had to..."
"Went to take a dump?" It was the same person who had been egging them on earlier.
"Brother! You know it, but saying it out loud is wrong of you. It's a bit disgusting. Okay! Let's stop joking and get back to the point. How was the Black Island Band's performance?"
"good!"
"Speak out! Shout out what's on your minds!"
"Good!" The voice was loud enough at this point. Luckily, the stadium wasn't covered; if it were, it probably would have been blown off.
"Do you remember the name of the gangster band now?"
"I've got it!"
"How about we let them sing another song?"
"good!"
Although Liang Liang was saying this, he was secretly groaning in his heart. The Black Island Band had only prepared one song, so what should they sing now?
If there's really no other music to sing, then I'll just have to sing songs by the Blue Shark band.
But now is the time for Black Island to make a name for themselves in the city, so singing other people's songs would be pointless. They only chose that option because they had no other choice.
It would be best to let them sing their own songs to deepen their impression on people.
Liang Liang's mind raced as he recalled the songs that the Black Island Band had frequently performed at the Maritime Ballroom recently, songs that were of noteworthy quality.
"A lone sail!" Liang Liang finally remembered one of their songs.
Unlike "Island," which he altered both the lyrics and melody of, this song remained unchanged; he simply rearranged it into a heavy metal style.
"The second song Black Island Band will perform is 'Lone Sail,' please welcome them!"
The Black Island Band only breathed a sigh of relief after Liang Liang announced the song title.
Because they hadn't made any contingency plans beforehand, they only prepared one song. Now that they were going to sing a second song, they weren't prepared at all. They just had to sing whatever Liang Liang told them to sing.
If they were to sing a song they don't usually perform, they would face the problem of unfamiliarity with the choreography.
Fortunately, he chose "Lonely Sail," a song they performed frequently, even though it wasn't their most common performance.
Although "Lonely Sail" also has "lonely" in its title, it is clearly not as popular as "Lonely Island." The melody and lyrics are not as good as "Lonely Island," and the audience's cheers are noticeably a level below those of "Lonely Island."
But regardless, the song received the applause it deserved, so the performance can be considered a success.
The Black Island Band finished their two songs and left the stage in a hurry. There were cars waiting for them outside the stadium to return to the Ocean Shipping Ballroom to save the day, so they couldn't stay there for too long.
After leaving the stage, the Black Island Band quickly greeted Liang Liang and then walked out through the passage.
The Black Island band has left the stage, but the performance will continue.
Su Ennan took the stage again and sang two songs before a male Hong Kong star whom no one recognized came on stage.
After the Hong Kong star sang a song and left the stage, another Hong Kong female star came on stage and sang a song as well, but it seemed like she was just going through the motions.
Liang Liang couldn't understand what Su Ennan's company was thinking. Sending two third-rate celebrities to the mainland as guests, did they really think they were high-class?
Such a guest would have been better off not coming at all.
The concert continued, and Su Ennan sang four songs in a row.
The concert had been going on for over an hour and a half, and it was time for the Blue Shark band to take the stage.
They will be performing four songs, and will be making two separate appearances. Now it's time for their first appearance.
Su Ennan sang her third new song, "It's So Hard to Love Someone".
The five new songs he bought from Liang Liang will appear on his second rural album, which is expected to be released next spring.
The song "Loving Someone Is So Hard" was sung by a drug addict singer on Green Island in a previous life, and it was popular for a long time back then.
This time, Su Ennan didn't wait for Liang Liang to host after finishing the song.
"Next! I'd like to invite a very special guest to our concert, the Blue Shark Band from our city. Please give them a warm welcome!"
When Su Ennan announced the name of the Blue Shark band, the atmosphere in the venue immediately reached a climax.
The Blue Shark band made their entrance amidst shouts, screams, and whistles.
