Although he had no intention of marrying a local girl, Liang Liang still gave those lively girls a smile that he felt was quite charming.
When the girls realized they were being noticed, they shouted even louder.
Liang Liang really admired their lung capacity; they had been shouting for so long without getting out of breath. It was a shame they weren't playing trumpets.
The Blue Shark Band performed a few more songs, and then Liang Liang left the stage, leaving Liu Yuyong to impersonate the lead singer.
“A device called a DVD player is now available for sale. You should buy one; it will greatly benefit your business.”
Liang Liang chatted with Guo Wang at the bar, and their conversation soon turned to DVD players.
Liang Liang carefully explained the functions of the DVD player, emphasizing its karaoke function.
How can a bar function without karaoke? If you're the first to offer karaoke, you've already captured the market.
After figuring out what a DVD player was, Guo Wang was very optimistic about its functions, but the fact that it cost tens of thousands of yuan to set up a karaoke system made him gasp in shock.
Whether he inhales cold or hot air is none of Liang Liang's business. In any case, Liang Liang has given him directions, and whether he follows them or not is his personal problem.
Around 10 o'clock, the Blue Shark Band said goodbye to Guo Wang and his wife. Tomorrow they would be taking a plane from Lhasa to Xi'an. Although their flight was in the afternoon, they didn't want to stay up too late.
On the afternoon of July 7th, Liang Liang, the Blue Shark Band, Liu Wenhe's film crew, and Guo Wang, who came to see them off, bid farewell.
Liu Wen and his film crew will stay in Lhasa for two more days to film some of the scenery as reserve material for any eventuality.
Liang Liang and his group boarded a plane at Gongga Airport at 3:30 p.m., landed at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport at around 6 p.m., and then took a flight for more than half an hour to Xi'an.
After contacting the Pacific Group's advance team in Xi'an, I checked into the hotel they arranged.
After settling into their accommodations and having dinner, it was almost 8 p.m. The entire band left the hotel and went to the main road to enjoy the night view of Xi'an.
Since an author wrote a book called "Ruined Capital" last year, many people have started calling Xi'an "Ruined Capital" based on the landscape, customs, and characters described in the book. Over time, "Ruined Capital" has become another name for Xi'an.
It also has another name related to the capital: Rock Capital.
Xi'an is a very interesting city. The pace of life here is relatively slow, and the locals enjoy a comfortable and carefree life.
Logically speaking, this kind of living environment has nothing to do with rock music, but since being exposed to rock music, the people here have developed their own unique passion for it.
The reason for this may be closely related to the straightforward and honest character of people from Northwest China.
The stubbornness and sensitivity of men from Northwest China are interdependent. People from Northwest China are generally taciturn and not good at expressing themselves. They tend to suppress their frustrations and only explode when they reach a breaking point.
This made them need a strong and straightforward way of expression, and rock music was exactly what they needed.
If you have the free time, energy, and a desire for fun, then form a band and have some fun.
The birthplace of Qinqiang opera naturally has no shortage of shouts and screams, which is why the rock music in this city has a distinct style of love and hate, black and white.
If I love you, I'll mess with you; if I hate you, I'll kill you.
The rock music scene in this city is naturally dominated by heavy rock.
In close combat, the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, mountains roared, and the sea surged!
In the previous life, this magical land gave birth to three representative singers: Zhang Chu, who became famous for his journey westward through Yangguan Pass and his sister; Zheng Jun, who became famous for returning to Lhasa; and Xu Wei, who later became a huge star.
However, although these three people are often mentioned when discussing rock music in Xi'an, their rock music, strictly speaking, has little to do with the city of Xi'an except for their ancestral home and the fact that they lived there.
In their early songs, one could perhaps still find some traces of Northwest China. But in their later songs, almost no trace of the Northwest style can be found.
In this lifetime, this situation doesn't seem to have changed much.
Zhang Chu is still alive, and is probably currently in Beijing writing his book, "It is Shameful to Be a Lonely Person".
Because Liang Liang hasn't heard this song appear yet.
Normally, this song should have been released in early May, but it's already early July and it still hasn't appeared. I guess Zhang Chu hasn't finished making it yet.
Another representative of Xi'an rock believes that Zheng Jun has been silent in this life. It is estimated that either fate has arranged for him to play a minor role in another industry, or he is still preparing a big move in this industry. In any case, no news about him has been heard.
The last one is Xu Wei.
He is also the person Liang Liang is looking for during his concert in Xi'an.
The reason Liang Liang believed this person really existed was because he heard news about the Flying Leap Band.
Xu Wei was in the Flying Leap band at the time.
Last December, the Flying Leap Band, which had been established for more than half a year, participated in a performance at Xi'an Foreign Language College. The Flying Leap Band's performance was a sensation and they became famous overnight!
This made them exceptionally successful in the first half of the year, performing in Chengdu, participating in the Northwest Rock Festival, and even being interviewed by a foreign magazine.
However, their fate took a sharp turn for the worse in the second half of the year.
Liang Liang sat on the side of the road on this unnamed main street in Xi'an, looking at the city lights and the pedestrians swaying on the street, but felt a little lost.
He felt that everyone on the street was legitimate, except for him, whose existence was against the rules.
To put it simply, he's a Trojan horse, and a super Trojan horse with cheat codes.
Unfortunately, there is no antivirus software in the world yet, which allows him to swindle and deceive people.
After receiving confirmation from the Flying Leap band, Liang Liang's confusion lessened considerably.
It's July 7th now, and there are still three days until their first performance in Xi'an.
According to some media biographies from the previous life, the Flying Leap Band was probably on the verge of disbanding at this time.
Perhaps influenced by the imperial aura of many ancient dynasties and capitals throughout history, the people of Xi'an have a strong sense of pride and a somewhat self-centered personality.
Strictly speaking, people with this temperament and personality are not very good at achieving anything in business, nor are they very good at persevering.
This applies to doing business, and it's no different when it comes to running a band.
Despite their initial success, the Flying Leap band failed to capitalize on their commercial success, leaving them with little income and struggling financially.
This led to the Flying Leap Band disbanding in July 1994.
