Actually, this year's Spring Festival Gala wasn't just about the Blue Shark Band and rock music; Lao Lang also performed "My Deskmate."
Campus folk songs also fall under the category of rock music. Can you say that they have no connection with rock music?
However, the fact that the entire band appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage is unprecedented, if not unparalleled.
…
In Liangshuiwan Village, a thousand miles away, Liang Liang's friends gathered on the kang (heated brick bed) and floor of Liang Liang's house, waiting to watch Liang Liang's performance.
Fortunately, his house is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate eight to ten people.
His house is not only big, but his TV is also big. The only color TV in Liangshuiwan Village is located here.
Liang Liang's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala not only caused a sensation in Pingshan Village, but also alarmed the municipal propaganda department.
During the day, people from the municipal propaganda department came to Liang's home to wish Liang Liang's parents a Happy New Year and brought some gifts.
For someone from a small county-level city like Yahe to appear on the Spring Festival Gala is definitely a big deal.
"They're here! They're here!" Xu Mei and Liang Qiuqiu were overjoyed to see the Blue Shark Band take the stage.
"Haha! Your brother seems a little nervous, like a silly roe deer."
Having spent a lot of time with Liang Liang, Xu Mei naturally noticed the difference in Liang Liang's demeanor compared to usual.
Liang Qiuqiu turned around and pinched Xu Mei's thigh.
"You're the one who looks like a silly roe deer! Look how energetic my brother is!"
"Your brother's spirits are lifted, right? He's scared of you now, acting like a little shrew."
Liang Bentang offered cigarettes to the villagers who had come to his home, then sat up straight on the kang (a heated brick bed). Liang Liang's mother just laughed and didn't know what to say.
Meanwhile, people associated with Liang Liang sat in front of the television to catch a glimpse of his charisma.
Qin Wenju felt a mix of emotions when she saw Liang Liang standing on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
She felt a little resentful that she was born ten years too early; if she had been born ten years later, Liang Liang would have been her man.
Although he was once her man, all of that is now just a memory.
Mu Shuihua looked somewhat dazed when she saw Liang Liang standing on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
"Old Bi! Was he the boy we met when we performed in that village of Liangshuiwan the summer before last?"
Bi Sheng glanced sideways: "Who else could it be but him?"
"I still feel like this is unreal, like a dream. The guy who crawled through a dog hole back then is now standing on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Do you think this is real?"
Mu Shuihua's words made Bi Sheng doubt the thoughts in his own mind.
Yeah! Is that guy?
Bi Sheng and his wife developed a split personality, but Liu Wen didn't have this problem.
He was so happy he was almost going crazy.
Blue Shark's third album, "Crazy," sold out its million copies before the Lunar New Year, and now it's time to plan for sales after the new year.
Riding the wave of success from this year's Spring Festival Gala, Liu Wen is already planning how much more of this album he should ship after the New Year.
He was undecided whether to accept another three million or five million.
Jin Hao also experienced the same problem.
They hold the overseas distribution rights to the album "Crazy," and have already sold 500,000 copies before the Lunar New Year. How many more copies they need to restock after the New Year has become a happy problem for Jin Hao.
However, they all believed one thing: this album, which caused a sensation as soon as it was released, would only be considered passing if it sold five million copies, and it was not impossible for it to sell ten million copies.
In a house far away in Hainan, Luo Lin and his girlfriend Zhu Mei were staring blankly at the people on the screen of a 14-inch black and white television.
"Isn't this Brother Liang?" Zhu Mei asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It must be them. I just heard the host introduce them as the Blue Shark Band, so it must be them. I can't believe they've made it to the Spring Festival Gala after just over a year."
"I saw in a music magazine that the rock music scene in Lianwan City is developing quite well and has already reached a considerable scale. Why don't we go there and take a look?"
Zhu Mei made the suggestion.
"I don't care about you, but what about your job?"
“He’s just a temporary worker, not a regular state employee. He can just quit.”
Temporary workers have no job security; they might be fired tomorrow.
Luo Lin began to ponder.
Starting in the second half of this year, Hainan's real estate market began to decline. The number of wealthy business owners who used to spend money like water is decreasing, and some have even fallen into bankruptcy traps, while others have fled.
The dance halls have been the hardest hit, and those in Haikou are declining day by day.
It was time to move to a different place to live, and Luo Lin suddenly felt that going north was a good option.
Go to Lianwan and see if it's a suitable place for you to live. If it isn't, then go back to Urumqi.
…
Liang Liang was unaware that standing on the Spring Festival Gala stage would cause a lot of trouble for many people. After the band's intro started, he opened his mouth and sang with abandon.
…
I love you, my motherland.
Dear Mother
I shed tears for you
I'm proud of you too...
The song was nearing its end, and the bass in Liang Liang's hands had been transferred to Dou Wei's.
He was singing passionately into the microphone.
His powerful voice echoed in Studio One of the Spring Festival Gala venues. The audience below the stage listened quietly to his singing, as if his voice had transported them to a realm of light.
When the song "I'm Proud of You" was sung again, there was a slight pause in the accompaniment.
Then a heavy drum suddenly sounded, and the accompaniment melody rose sharply.
Liang Liang swung the microphone down sharply with his right hand, while his left hand pointed to the sky like a sword.
At the same time, he knelt down on both knees and roared out a voice that seemed to tear through the sky: "I love you, my motherland, my dear mother. I shed tears for you and I am proud of you!"
During rehearsals, Liang Liang did not kneel down, and even the band members were unfamiliar with this gesture.
When Half of the country performed this song at the Spring Festival Gala in the previous life, there was a moment when the wine was served.
This kneeling scene brought tears to my eyes.
A man's knees are worth gold; he kneels to heaven, earth, and his parents, and kneeling to the country is no problem either.
As someone who returned from a time when the motherland was prosperous and strong, Liang Liang witnessed firsthand how the country had traversed in a few decades the path that Western powers had taken hundreds of years to complete.
I witnessed firsthand that people in Europe and America are now living the same good life that I used to envy.
People have more money in their pockets, own cars and houses, square dancing and self-driving tours are everywhere, and the public security environment has also undergone earth-shattering changes. You don't have to worry about safety when you go out for barbecue late at night.
Therefore, his kneeling was not at all pretentious; his worship of the country came from the bottom of his heart.
Liang Liang's roar and kneeling deeply moved the audience, who spontaneously stood up and clapped enthusiastically in time with the music.
Some people even had tears in their eyes.
Liang Liang didn't stand up again; she just knelt down and finished singing the song.
When the outro ended, applause erupted like a tsunami in CCTV's Studio One, lasting for a full minute.
