This album features as many as twenty-two bands and individuals. Apart from the signature Blue Shark band, which has two songs, and Xu Wei, who also has two songs, the other twenty bands each have only one song.
Even with just one song, each band still received 227,000 yuan.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Han Chui opened his small bag and took out a large number of current account passbooks.
"Five million in cash is a terrifying amount. I can't carry it, and the bank would find it too troublesome. Most importantly, the bank doesn't have that much cash. So, we'll stick to the old method and issue passbooks. These are all from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China; they're anonymous, have no password, and can't be reported lost. Each passbook has the same amount of money. I'll give them to you now, and I won't interfere with how you distribute them. I want to emphasize that these are current account passbooks with no password and can't be reported lost. If you lose them, whoever finds them benefits. Keep them safe. Okay, let's begin. I'll call out names, and you'll each send one person up to take the passbook back. Black Island Band!"
When the Black Island band came up to collect their money, bassist Carp was so happy that his eyes were practically slits in the sky. He almost got tripped by a leg that suddenly stuck out from the side and fell face-first into the mud.
"You bastard! You dare trip me up? I'll deal with you when I get back!"
A burst of lighthearted laughter filled the room. Everyone was in a particularly relaxed mood when it was time to divide the money, so their threshold for laughter was naturally low, and they could laugh for no reason at any of the words.
Black Island Band and Cold Window Band signed a preliminary agreement with Golden Dream Company during their Hong Kong Coliseum concert last year, and will join Golden Dream Company starting this May 1st.
Black Island is definitely going to join Golden Dream. In the 1990s, the countryside was very attractive to many mainlanders, who wanted to go out and see the world.
The Hanchuang Band is still hesitant, mainly because after learning that Liang Liang is going to open a record company, their idea of joining Jinmeng Company has faded even further.
They knew very well how their band survived, and they also knew their band's style and strengths. They didn't think that the commercial atmosphere of Xianggang was suitable for their band's growth. They thought it would be better to stay with Liang Liang and pick up the scraps, and maybe there would be a broader space for development.
After receiving the savings passbook, Carp deliberately rubbed his eyes, examining it closely from all angles. Han Chui kicked him, making him stumble: "Go back and look at it carefully. Don't waste my time here and get fined. You'll be facing another hardship!"
Each member of the Hanchuang Band had already received 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in royalties during their Hong Kong Coliseum concert, so the distribution of money this time was relatively calm.
But the other bands were not so calm.
"Spinning top!"
"Balhu! I'm telling you, we're all family! It's just a little money, why are you so agitated you can't even walk? Do you even remember your last name?"
“You said we’re all family, so of course we’ll take the surname Han.”
"You even know your own surname? Not bad! You're just a novice!"
The Sanjiaomao band went a bit too far, actually pushing Zhou Xue up to collect her savings account.
"Hey! Zhou, the beautiful lady, is here! How about we catch a movie tonight?"
“Sure! Anyone who doesn’t go is a coward!” Zhou Xue said without hesitation.
Han Chui was dumbfounded. Would it kill you to pretend to be reserved for a moment?
However, Zhou Xue is indeed quite pretty, so "lā gā lā lā" doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.
The money distribution didn't take very long, just over ten minutes.
Each member of the band formed a circle, staring at their current account statements, and they were all laughing hysterically.
Apart from Xu Wei, Black Island, and the Hanchuang Band, the rest of them were seeing so much money that belonged to them for the first time.
227,000.
Each person can receive 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, which is a truly jaw-dropping number.
"Everyone has seen the money. Work hard from now on. As long as you keep moving forward on the right path, there will be plenty of opportunities to share the profits in the future." Liang Liang, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, said a few appropriate words.
At times like these, saying something guiding will definitely leave a lasting impression on them.
Indeed, those who saw the benefits believed Liang Liang's words were a wise warning: as long as one chooses the right path and the right direction, the rewards will naturally follow.
"While the bank is still open, you should split these passbooks again," Liang Liang suggested after the money was divided.
It's not even 1:30 yet, so withdrawing cash from the bank is probably impossible. The bank can't possibly keep that much cash on hand. However, they can still distribute the passbooks under each person's name to prevent someone from taking the passbook and running away with it.
Although this is a petty thought, it is something we must be wary of.
After Liang Liang's reminder, these people realized the point and stood up to go to the bank.
There's no need to worry about Qian Liangliang from the Blue Shark band; Han Chui will naturally take care of everything.
They split the money into 450,000 yuan, with each person receiving 90,000 yuan.
Xu Wei benefited the most from this album; he had two songs and received the most money.
Although he paid a lot of money for using other bands to accompany the recording, overall he was the biggest beneficiary.
However, Xu Wei continued as usual, teaching during the day and performing at night, not at all like someone who had made a small fortune.
Since the album "Northeast Rock" performed quite well, the plan to make a second album was naturally put on the agenda.
Liang Liang then had these bands submit their best, unreleased songs for judging. At the same time, he used Han Chui's men to search for rock bands in the other two northeastern provinces and also solicited songs from rock bands in other regions.
Of course, whether a song can be selected depends on its quality.
Those who do not meet the requirements will definitely not be selected.
However, this album naturally doesn't need to be produced by Pacific Recordings; it should be produced by Ocean Rhythm Audio-Visual.
Zhao Fang's engineering team now has two tasks: one is to demolish the five old houses in the music school compound, and the other is to build a four-story building along the eastern wall.
This way, the two buildings on the east and west sides are symmetrical, and a small square more than 60 meters wide can be left in the middle.
If two low-rise buildings are built at the north and south ends, it will become a gated community.
After its completion, this building became the location of the Maritime Audio-Visual Company.
The demolition of old houses and the construction of new buildings were carried out almost simultaneously.
By April 20th, when the old houses had been cleared away, the new building on the east wall had also been completed.
The most time-consuming and expensive part of building a house is the first floor. Once the first floor is built, it doesn't take long to build several more floors on top.
The building is expected to be topped out in June, and if things go smoothly, it could be put into use in July.
The building was put into use on the same day that Haiyun Audio-Visual Company opened.
Since the audio-visual company can open in July, the audio-visual license should be processed now.
The review process for obtaining an audio-visual license is quite stringent, requiring the involvement of the industry and commerce bureau, tax bureau, culture bureau, and public security bureau.
Han Chui is busy again.
