Liu Wen asked for detailed information about the Black Panther band and listened to the Blue Shark band's evaluation of them.
Of course, no matter how eloquent the verbal comments are, they can't compare to a live song performance.
But Liu Wen didn't arrive immediately; the Pacific Studio was there to audition the Black Panther band.
They're going to perform on stage the night after tomorrow. It would be great to see them perform live.
Watching a performance and conducting research at the same time—it's a win-win situation.
"So, do you pay for a ticket or not?"
"What? I'm going to inspect the work, and you're actually asking me to buy a ticket?" Liu Wen nitpicked at Liang Liang.
"Hehe! I was just asking. If you buy a ticket, I won't prepare one for you. If you don't buy one, then we'll have to prepare a complimentary ticket for you. But our complimentary tickets are usually for the back row. Are your eyesight good enough? Maybe you should go get a pair of glasses with a stronger prescription now."
Of course, this was just a joke. Someone of Liu Wen's stature would naturally want to sit in the best seats when attending a live performance.
On the afternoon of the 24th, Liang Liang called Zhang Yan over for the rehearsal.
As soon as Han Chui saw Zhang Yan, he prepared to give her a hug, which would make Zhang Yan's face turn as red as a cloth.
"Go away! Go play somewhere else. We're rehearsing a song, so stop joining in the commotion."
Liang Liang brought Zhang Yan over so that she could sing the female backing vocals in "Back to Lhasa".
Zhang Yan fell in love with the song as soon as she saw the sheet music.
Although her lyrics consist of only two lines, they are the finishing touch to the song.
Last time, they couldn't find a suitable female singer to perform this song, so they had to have Douwei use falsetto instead.
Although Dou Wei's performance was quite good, Liang Liang always felt that she lacked a certain feminine subtlety.
Zhang Yan was originally supposed to go out for a performance today, but Liang Liang kept her behind to sing backing vocals for this song.
During the performance on the evening of the 25th, Liu Wen sat in the closest and most central position on the stage, waving a banana leaf fan in his hand, exuding a refined and elegant air.
Today, in addition to inspecting the Black Panther band, he also wants to listen to the Blue Shark band's new song.
Su Ennan and the Blue Shark Band's national tour kicked off in Guangzhou on the evening of June 25th.
The Tianhe Stadium has 9,000 seats, and all the tickets were sold out the day before.
The ticket prices here are on par with those in Beijing and Shanghai, starting at 15 yuan and reaching a maximum of 30 yuan.
Given the current popularity and appeal of this performance group, even three thousand more tickets might not be enough to sell. However, Tianhe Stadium only has this much capacity, and at most, it can only accommodate a thousand or eight thousand standing tickets.
Since Suen Nanfang did not invite any singers or bands to fill in the show, Black Panther Band became the only band to take on the task of filling in the show.
To create a lively atmosphere for the concert, the Black Panther Band's first song was "Nowhere to Hide".
Dou Wei's clear and loud voice immediately won over Liu Wen.
He made up his mind to sign the Black Panther band after singing only half of the song.
Where did Liang Liang find these people?
Zhang Yan! The Sea Waves Band! And now they've found the Black Panther Band.
Although Pacific Entertainment itself is also creating stars, Liu Wen has to admit that not only Pacific Entertainment, but also all the signed singers of the other three companies in Guangzhou are not as outstanding as the people Liang Liang discovered.
It can only be said that Liang Liang has a keen eye for talent.
The Black Panther band performed two songs as an opening act. After those two songs, the audience in Guangzhou remembered their name, and the chants of "Black Panther, Black Panther!" were endless.
This further strengthened Liu Wentianxia's determination to join the Black Panther Band.
After the Black Panther band finished their opening act, Su Ennan went on stage and sang five songs, followed by the Blue Shark band's performance.
Having not been on stage for more than twenty days, Liang Liang was still a little unaccustomed to it. It took her several lines of the first song to get into sync with the band's rhythm.
The Blue Shark Band performed three songs, and with the Black Panther Band playing two introductory tracks, the first segment of the performance came to an end.
The atmosphere inside the venue was not just enthusiastic, it was extremely enthusiastic.
Although Liu Wen felt a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere, he was also infected by it and his blood was boiling.
Seeing that no one was sitting, he had no choice but to be the last person to stand up.
The moment he stood up, he felt as if he had become fifty or sixty years younger.
In the final performance segment, the Blue Shark band was the first to take the stage.
Suennan will be the headliner; this will be the last performance by the Blue Shark Band.
The first song Liang Liang sang was her new song, "Back to Lhasa".
After a guitar and drum duet, Zhang Yan appeared on stage dressed in Tibetan attire.
Ah~ Ah~ Yashi!
Ah~ Ah~ Clatter!
Zhang Yan's singing was perfect, and in Liang Liang's heart, she was in no way inferior to the female singer in the original version of the previous life.
Don't underestimate these two lines of lyrics; Zhang Yan put in a lot of effort, and Liang Liang rejected them dozens of times before finally finding the right channel for Liang Liang.
Back to Lhasa
Back to Potala
Back to Lhasa
Back to Potala Palace
…
Liang Liang's rendition of this song differs somewhat from Zheng Jun's original version.
In Zheng Jun's version, the word "Yi" appears in the middle of the line "Returning to Lhasa," so it's sung as "La Yi Sa."
Liang Liang used "ah" to connect the two parts of Lhasa, which turned out to be "La ah sa" when sung, which sounded more natural than using "yi" to connect them.
Climbed Tanggula Mountain
I encountered a snow lotus.
Hold my hand
We returned to her home.
…
Liu Wen, who was already standing and exercising like a young person, plopped down in a chair after hearing the intro to the song and Liang Liang's singing.
Liu Wen covered his face with both hands, his eyes slightly moist.
This is a song that strikes a chord with him.
In his youth, he spent more than half a year collecting folk songs in Tibet. There, he saw snow-capped mountains, green grass, beautiful lama temples, blooming snow lotus flowers, and endless girls...
Every lyric in this song pierced his heart like an arrow, and every word unfolded a story before his eyes.
It's been decades since I last visited Tibet.
Liang Liang's song "Back to Lhasa" unexpectedly stirred up his longing for that land.
Liu Wen suddenly felt that he should go to Tibet again, and that he should make the trip soon.
The thought was so intense, it was like a red-hot iron bar sizzling against the skin.
Little did Liang Liang know that simply singing a song would stir Liu Wen's heart...
It's not spring fever, it's memories.
This prompted Liu Wen to recall that the matter was very serious.
It was so serious that he even went to Tibet.
He was completely unprepared, both mentally and physically, forcibly dragged there by Liu Wen.
Liang Liang ended her performance of "Back to Lhasa" with a series of soaring high notes that ignited the passion of nearly 10,000 people in the stadium.
Someone actually asked him to sing the song again, saying they hadn't heard enough.
