In addition to the song request fee, there is also tipping money.
The first song received over two thousand yuan in tips, and the total amount spent on songs, including requests and tips, exceeded five thousand yuan.
This was the first song performed by the Blue Shark Band at the National Central Dance Hall, so naturally they attracted more money, but it wasn't excessive.
The difference between this and the occasional tip of over ten thousand yuan for a single song in a nightclub is quite significant.
Moreover, this amount will decrease further over time.
Even though the tipping wasn't very popular, the Blue Shark Band still received a 60% cut, earning 3,000 yuan from just one song.
This is more than the income from holding a concert.
Then, one song after another from the Blue Shark band was requested from the playlist.
There's nothing we can do about it; they have so many songs.
Some singers make a living with just one or two songs, but Blue Shark has a ton of songs. Even if he only sings one song at a time, it would still take him two or three hours to finish singing all of them.
Therefore, a lot of people request their songs.
However, in order to avoid being hated, the Blue Shark Band did not accept all the song requests. If they took all the resources, wouldn't that just make them a target of hatred?
Blue Shark selectively chooses to perform two songs at a time, and at most performs two songs at a time, so that other singers can also have a chance to perform.
The first day at the National Chung Kung Fu City was undoubtedly a success.
In addition to filling the National Chung KTV to capacity, it also generated NT$20,000 in song requests and tips.
It's not the best, but it's not particularly outstanding either.
According to the contract signed with Han Chui, the Blue Shark Band's song request and tipping revenue is settled on the same day.
When they returned to their lodgings, Han Chui settled the bill with Zhou Anming for 12,000 yuan.
Liang Liang immediately distributed the money; he didn't want to carry so much cash on him.
It takes several bus stops to get from the National Chung Chung Dance Hall to the AEON Mall, so spreading out reduces the risk.
Although the Pacific Art Troupe has left Haikou, Liang Liang and his group are still staying at the AEON Building.
Most singers who make a living in Haikou live here, and the artistic atmosphere here is quite good.
Luo Lin has only recently begun to feel a sense of wealth.
As of today, he has been hanging out with the Blue Shark band for a week. When he handed over the two thousand yuan he received tonight to his girlfriend, Zhu Mei told him that they now have more than four thousand yuan in savings.
This caused Luo Lin to lose his composure for half a minute.
In his memory, he had never had so much money in his life.
I don't think I ever had a thousand dollars in my pocket when I was at my richest. How did I get so much money in just a few days with the Blue Shark band?
It seems like just a week ago they were having problems eating instant noodles, but now they're quite well-off.
"Why don't you ask Xiao Liang if you'll be following the Blue Shark band from now on?"
Luo Lin shook his head: "They'll be leaving Haikou soon. Are we going to go north with them? Didn't you say you were going back to your hometown?"
Zhu Mei's home is in Urumqi, which is also in the north, but it's completely different from Liang Liang's home in the northeast and northwest, respectively.
"As long as I can make money, isn't it all the same whether it's in the Northeast or the Northwest?"
"Let's see how it goes. I still believe I can achieve great things. I want to start writing songs like Xiao Liang and write lots of great songs."
Luo Lin acted immediately, getting up early the next day to write his first work.
Liang Liang woke up early the next day. He was thinking about the singer named Zhang Liyuan and planned to go see her and hear what her real voice was like.
But looking around at these lazybones in the band, they were all fast asleep. If you roused one, they would hum a couple of times but wouldn't move; if you roused another, they wouldn't even hum. They were like dead people.
Forget it, I'll go find Luo Lin and ask him to come with me. Luo Lin must be up by now.
Luo Lin was looking at a piece of paper when Liang Liang went to Luo Lin's room.
Seeing Liang Liang arrive, he excitedly pulled her along, saying, "Little Liang! I wrote a song, come and see what you think?"
"Write a song? What kind of song?"
"The first snow of 1992."
Liang Liang suddenly felt her legs go weak. Oh no, she twisted her ankle.
The first snow of 1992!
Dude! Are you trying to scare me to death? You've already released this song? Even though the title is ten years behind.
If you release this song now, you'll be committing a huge sin.
If Luo Lin releases this song now but it doesn't become famous, he would truly bear the responsibility.
Liang Liang hurriedly picked up the song written by Luo Lin, and was relieved after reading it.
It's not the first snow of 2002. Although the name is similar, the lyrics and melody have absolutely nothing to do with the first snow of 2002.
However, this is not a mature song; the lyrics and melody are quite ordinary.
"Brother Luo! In any case, first of all, congratulations on writing a song. However, this song is not particularly outstanding, and the melody is also very average. I will not beat around the bush or flatter you, I will just tell you the truth."
"I understand! I know this song isn't fully developed yet; it's just the beginning. I'll definitely write more great songs in the future."
Of course! If you can't write them, what will happen to all those classic songs from your past life? Are you planning to make me do them for you too?
“When I was reviewing those tapes yesterday, I heard a voice, a female singer with a unique voice. However, the equipment he used to record the demo was just a regular home tape recorder, and the sound quality was terrible. I want to go and hear his real voice. All of us are at home snoring and no one is up. How about we go over there?”
"Sure! I'm just killing time anyway."
Luo Lin tidied up, locked the door, and followed Liang Liang down the building.
Liang Liang remembered the singer's address; it should be in a place called Shishan Town, southwest of Haikou.
Liang Liang hadn't expected this place to be so far away, nearly fifty miles from where they lived.
Upon arriving in Shishan Town, Liang Liang made a pager using the pager number left on the tape.
To Liang Liang's surprise, the person who answered the phone was a man, making Liang Liang think she had dialed the wrong pager.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for someone named Zhang Liyuan."
"Who are you?"
“Didn’t Zhang Liyuan sign up for the Haikou Tengda Junior High School Cup Popular Singer Competition? I’m from the organizing committee, and we’ve informed her that she passed the preliminary selection.”
"She passed the preliminary selection? Okay, I'll let her know."
"There's something else. We're at Shishan Town Station right now, and we'd like to meet Zhang Liyuan in person. Does she have time right now?"
"Are you in town now? I'll let her know right away. Just wait for us at the station."
From beginning to end, Liang Liang had no idea who was the person who answered the pager.
The other party told them to wait there, so Liang Liang and Luo Lin sat down on the curb by the roadside.
