Liang Liang usually says a few words when he's on stage, but today he didn't say a word.
Even though there were many overseas Chinese in the audience, he didn't say a single unnecessary word.
Since we're not going to waste time with small talk, let's get started singing.
Three songs flowed from his voice: "Back to Lhasa", "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty", and "Ghost" adapted from Alan Walker.
The first two songs are authentic rock, while the last one can only be considered dance music.
Liang Liang rewrote the lyrics for the song "Ghost," and its appearance once again ignited the entire audience.
The original song has a lyric in the chorus that sounds very similar to something like "your tears".
Liang Liang used this line as the central point and rewrote the lyrics for the song.
Phoenix flies north, soaring through the clouds
The beauty of the sunset drifting across the sky like smoke
Peacocks fly south into the mountains and rivers
Who is that graceful figure standing atop the mountain?
The flower stamen you casually plucked in your hand
It still withered quietly in your hands
Who put dust in your eyes?
Who abandoned the rose blooming in their heart?
Your tears fall like pearls.
But it was like thunder rolling across the sky.
I wipe the water from your face.
Your smile embodies all beauty…
Next comes the high-energy dance music section.
Liang Liang only wrote one verse, which he thought was enough to fool foreigners.
When it is published in China, he will add another verse.
Lin Hanrui and Xu Mei's two turntables played fast and intense rhythms, electrifying the foreigners in the theater into a chaotic dance.
The foreigners in the theater went crazy, jumping and dancing like they were on drugs.
The piece of music lasted for about five minutes, and those foreigners went crazy for five minutes.
As soon as the music stopped, the foreigners were still not satisfied and asked for another performance.
What's the point of continuing the performance when the time is up?
Liang Liang told Hannah to tell the real and fake foreigners in the theater that they should come back to dance tomorrow, as he still had several songs to perform.
Tomorrow he will put together some upbeat music and have them dance for twenty minutes, until their backs and legs ache.
The performance was undoubtedly a success.
It's actually quite easy to fool foreigners; just play some DJ music, and they'll start nodding and swaying to the music.
When the music ended and everyone returned to their lodgings to rest, it was already past midnight.
The European Cup bet that Liang Liang made has also been resolved.
He won 800,000 US dollars in this match.
Winning a million US dollars in two days of betting is a bit too little.
This is nowhere near enough to build a film studio!
However, he dared not place too large a bet, what if he had too much money and couldn't take it all?
White people's ancestors were all bandits, and once a bandit acts recklessly, you won't even find a place to reason with him.
Let's just play like this for now! Anyway, it doesn't matter if I pick it up a little more or a little less.
Before going to bed, Liang Liang took out the match schedule for the last round of the European Cup group stage.
Tomorrow are the last few matches for Groups C and D.
The two matches are C: Russia vs. Czech Republic, and Italy vs. Germany.
In Group D, Türkiye will face Denmark, and Portugal will face Croatia.
After tomorrow's matches, the European Championship will have a two-day break.
The competition won't start again until the 22nd.
When the competition resumes, their performances in Berlin will be over. They'll have at most a day or two for sightseeing before they have to go back.
It seems the plan to make a small fortune from the European Championship is going to fall through.
Liang Liang hadn't planned to play in the final group stage match, but seeing that he had two days of rest ahead, he had no choice but to play.
The teams that advanced from Group C were Germany and the Czech Republic, who were also the two teams that ultimately reached the final.
Italy's elimination was an upset in this year's European Championship.
Tomorrow night, Italy and Germany will draw 0-0, while Russia and the Czech Republic will draw 3-3.
In the other group, Croatia, who won both of their matches, lost 0-3 to Portugal. Thus, Portugal finished first and Croatia finished second, advancing to the next round together.
That way, there's no need for the other two teams to show off any results.
Liang Liang ultimately chose the Portugal vs. Croatia match, placing a bet of 500,000 on Portugal's 3-0 victory over Croatia.
That could win you a million US dollars.
After making up his mind, Liang Liang went to sleep.
The next day, June 19th, not long after Liang Liang got up, Pumpkin Meat Shreds led a middle-aged foreigner wearing glasses to the hotel where Liang Liang and his group were staying to find Liang Liang.
This German was Schmidt.
After listening to all the pieces performed at the opening performance of the China Avant-garde Music Week, Schmidt made the decision to buy the copyrights.
He discussed it with the Pumpkin Shredded Pork Band last night and came over early this morning.
Liang Liang quickly figured out why the German wanted to see him.
The German man seemed to be a publisher from a Berlin-based audio-visual publishing company, and he was planning to buy the European publishing rights to the piece they performed last night, intending to publish it in Europe.
Liang Liang wholeheartedly supported this news; he would have supported it even if it didn't come with money.
This is a form of cultural expansion and export, or to put it bluntly, cultural invasion. It lays the foundation for the future conquest of the world by the Chinese cultural sphere, and is entirely beneficial.
However, publishing their album in Europe is not an easy task, as European and American cultural departments are extremely strict in their censorship of Chinese cultural products.
They won't easily give you the opportunity to publish, and the excuse is naturally that there's no market for it.
Without a market, publishers will naturally have no incentive, and your works will only be able to fool yourselves at home.
Is that really the case?
Years later, with the internet open up, if a Chinese person casually films a cooking video, foreigners will flock to watch it. Will uniquely Eastern songs have no market?
However, the power of discourse is in their hands. They can limit your traffic and block your searches, ultimately resulting in a situation where no one watches.
They want to control public opinion and keep the people ignorant, while simultaneously smearing mainland China. How could they possibly allow your cultural works to have an impact in their own backyard?
However, this has nothing to do with Liang Liang; since the other party wants to buy, he will naturally sell.
This time, Liang Liang had no intention of sharing the profits.
That's unreliable. What if the album can't be released? He won't get a single penny of the profits.
It would be more worthwhile to sell some copyrights first and convert them into cash.
As for how much it will sell for, that's a problem for the agent to solve.
Schmidt then went to negotiate with Hannah Mia and Han Chui.
In the end, they bought the copyrights to all the songs that Liang Liang and his group brought this time for three million marks.
Liang Liang and his team brought about forty pieces to perform this time.
Three million marks can be exchanged for twelve million yuan, and a song is worth three hundred thousand yuan.
Compared to domestic prices, these songs are already sold at exorbitant prices.
In the afternoon, Liang Liang made some adjustments to the program for the Blue Shark Band's performance.
The two pieces by the Yinna River Band and the piece by the Hanmei Group were swapped, so that the songs that were not yet to be performed by the duo were next to the pieces performed by the Blue Shark Band, forming a dance medley that lasted about twenty minutes.
Let those hyperactive foreigners jump around to their heart's content.
