The only regret about Blue Shark's performance in Beijing was that Zhang Shuo was not seen.
The band 1989 finally became popular because of their song "Friends," and they started touring around to make money.
When the Blue Shark band was holding a concert in Beijing, they disappeared somewhere.
This is a regret.
But to Liang Liang's surprise, they encountered them in Xinxiang.
In 1995, rock and roll was still a relatively new term in the eyes of the people of Xinxiang, but it was not a desert, because there was a band called Pupil here in 1993.
In 1994, a rock costume cooperative appeared in the center of Xinxiang City. One of the owners, Hua Yang, was the bassist of the band Tong Kong.
This clothing cooperative sold leather jackets, metal chains, and large leather boots—all very trendy items at the time.
With these enticing things, this place naturally became one of the strongholds for rock youth in Xinxiang.
The news that the Blue Shark Band would be performing in Xinxiang ignited the small town like wildfire.
Han Chui's men approached the Pupil Band and asked them to fill in for them. The Pupil Band members were ecstatic.
The bands below don't have the same sense of sectarianism as the Beijing bands; they consider anyone who plays rock music to be a like-minded comrade.
Blue Shark is currently the most renowned band in China, and it would be an honor for any band to perform as their opening act.
When we found the Pupil Band, we encountered an unexpected situation: the 1989 Band was also there, so we managed to bring them along as well.
Since the song "Friends" became a hit, the 1989 Band has been receiving a constant stream of performance invitations. This time, they are performing with a song and dance troupe that has just arrived in Xinxiang. Their performance will follow the Blue Shark Band's.
The usually peaceful town of Xinxiang suddenly erupted in excitement, with fans flocking from all directions to the town almost evaporating it.
There were even groups of fans from Hong Kong and Taiwan who came to the event.
Seeing that they couldn't let outsiders take all the benefits, the people of Xinxiang also flocked to the Xinxiang Stadium in a large group.
Henan Province is a major province for opera, and Xinxiang is located at the transportation hub of Henan Province. Therefore, anything related to singing, whether it is Henan opera, local opera or popular songs, has a market here.
For this reason, rock music is also popular here. Even though rock music hasn't really taken off here yet, there are still many people with long hair, wearing leather jackets and sailor hats swaggering around the streets.
On the evening of the 23rd, the Xinxiang Stadium was packed with people.
Blue Shark Band's rock national tour officially opened in Xinxiang.
As is customary, a local band will perform as an opening act, followed by Blue Shark performing their own songs.
At the Xinxiang station performance, the local band Only Pupil and 1989 made a guest appearance, singing their currently popular song "Friends".
The performance lasted three hours and featured thirty songs, plunging the people of Xinxiang into a frenzy from beginning to end.
This time, they truly experienced what rock and roll is all about.
It is estimated that after Blue Shark's concert, the flower of rock music will surely bloom everywhere in Xinxiang.
The performance at Xinxiang Station sold over 28,000 tickets, generating a total revenue of less than 350,000 yuan, but a net profit of 200,000 yuan.
When fans from other places learned that Blue Shark's next stop was Jinan, they flocked to Jinan like a tide.
Before leaving Xinxiang, Liang Liang noticed something on his way to the airport: the melody of the song "Too Softhearted" was playing everywhere on the streets.
It seems Xu Wei's album is a hit.
After more than twenty days of market digestion, Xu Wei's album has now become a real hit, an absolute sensation.
The popularity has even given Liu Wen a headache.
He was troubled by the convoy of cars gathered in front of the audio-visual products store.
Haiyun Audio-Visual Products simply cannot handle so many orders.
Looking at the thick stack of orders in his hand, he felt a sense of unreality.
After the album's initial release, he started taking more orders. This is now his third batch of orders, and the volume of this batch has far exceeded his expectations.
He thought that at this rate, it would be good if the third batch of orders could reach three million.
But reality played a cruel joke on him. The third batch of orders exceeded eight million. Luckily, he wasn't wearing glasses yet, otherwise he might have broken several pairs.
This made him rub his eyes hard every time he saw these orders; he always felt that the numbers on these orders weren't real.
Adding to the sales of the previous album, this means that Xu Wei's album will reach sales of ten million within three months.
This is a number that makes people uneasy at night; it's a bit too fantastical.
Liu Wen felt uneasy, and Xu Wei, who was initially delighted by the album's success, also began to feel anxious.
This album is expected to sell tens of millions of copies by the end of this year.
He signed a 40/60 profit split agreement with Haiyun. Even if the profit of an album is three yuan, if the album reaches ten million yuan, he can get ten million yuan in profit.
Tens of millions!
The thought of this made him as restless as an ant on a hot pan.
Then I remembered Liang Liang telling me to buy a large safe.
Xu Wei summoned his girlfriend from Xi'an to Lianwan as quickly as possible, otherwise he felt he would suffer from insomnia.
After listening to Xu Wei's story, his girlfriend's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, as if her lower limbs were paralyzed.
Xu Hebin is also in a complete mess right now. With so many orders coming in all at once, he can only apologize to Liu Wen with an innocent look.
There are too many orders; we simply can't produce that many products all at once.
The cars parked at the entrance could only wait.
The product filling capacity is too low. We have to share some of the burden with the Pacific side, otherwise it would be even more difficult to keep up.
Liang Liang should open another audio-visual recording plant in the west to share the demand from the western, northwestern, and southwestern provinces.
If they cannot fill this hole themselves, piracy will take over this territory.
There's another thing that deserves our attention: the end of the month is approaching, and Hanmei's album is about to be released.
Judging from the pre-orders, Hanmei Duo's album has more pre-orders than Xu Wei's album, which could be even more problematic after its release.
There's still a week until their album is released.
No, we must plan ahead.
Liu Wen immediately contacted Northern Audio-Visual Publishing House in Lianwan and transferred the task of pressing the album "Too Softhearted" to them. Meanwhile, his own audio-visual production factory began to fully produce Hanmei's album "My Heart Will Go On", with a production run of five million copies.
"Damn it or not, I'm hanging up there. At this point, I have to take a gamble."
While busy working on these two albums, the selection of tracks for Eastside Rock 2 is also nearing completion.
Liu Wen instructed his subordinates to send notices to the rock bands whose songs had been selected, asking them to come to Lianwan to record their songs.
