While Yan Su was extremely excited, Liang Liang was strolling in front of the two courtyard houses with Huang Jie and Li Jinglin.
After buying these two courtyard houses, Liang Liang naturally wanted to renovate them, but figuring out how to do so gave her a headache.
Given the current layout of this courtyard house, it is clearly not suitable to be used as a small theater.
Demolishing and rebuilding all the buildings here would be costly and time-consuming, and even by May Day next year, the buildings might not be ready for use.
If they are not demolished and rebuilt, these two courtyard houses are really difficult to deal with. How can they be integrated into a studio?
Keeping warm in winter is a real headache.
After much thought, Liang Liang still couldn't come up with a way to turn this place into a small theater. It seemed he would have to ask professionals for help to come up with a renovation plan.
So far, they have found a place to renovate a small theater almost every time they perform. Except for Qiqihar, they now have three small theaters in Songyang, Changchun, and Harbin, plus the one in Beijing.
The renovation and refurbishment investment for these four small theaters is estimated to exceed three million.
Two million yuan is enough to invest in these three small theaters in Songyang, Changchun, and Harbin.
Since the venues rented by these three small theaters are all clubs, they can be used with just a little renovation and do not require large-scale transformation. The bulk of the investment is in the installation of sound equipment.
You'd need at least 500,000 yuan worth of equipment to make it work.
But the small theater in Beijing is a bit more troublesome; I estimate it will cost over a million.
If it's not handled properly, it may require extensive modifications before it can be used.
It seems that the plans for small theaters in other cities will have to be put on hold for now. Let's get these four small theaters up and running first, see how they perform economically, and then make a final decision.
7 PM.
The Blue Shark band received a warm welcome at Green Garden Bar.
Yan Su and all staff members held a grand welcome ceremony for the Blue Shark Band.
The Green Garden Bar was packed tonight, with no seats available.
Tonight, tickets for Green Garden Bar are three times the usual price, yet they are still incredibly hard to come by.
The bar was filled with men and women, who were relatively quiet before the performance started, but once the Blue Shark band came on stage, they started making noise just like the young people.
The performance starts at eight o'clock.
The Blue Shark band started their performance with a program that was different from their concert.
The performance format is also arbitrary; whoever pays to request a song gets to sing first.
A wealthy man in Beijing started it all by ordering the song "Love Fire" for 10,000 yuan.
With the DJ's addition, the accompaniment to this song became much more three-dimensional, instantly creating a lively atmosphere in the bar.
It is said that this wealthy man is a serious friend, and he came to recruit him.
This guy requested a song and then tipped the customer 10,000 yuan.
And sure enough, his help was quite effective. After he selected the songs, under his influence, the wealthy people in Beijing generously opened their wallets, spending money to select the songs they liked to listen to. If they were pleased with the singing, they would even receive tips.
Blue Shark Band receives substantial donations for every song they sing.
The Night Sky Band and the Heroes Band also took to the stage to perform two songs given to them by Liang Liang and one of their own compositions, and each received several thousand yuan in tips.
This surprised and delighted them.
Xu Mei's dance songs won the favor of those male beasts, and the tips were like snowflakes falling down, the money looking as thin as paper.
He was so happy to see this scene that he couldn't stop smiling; his bar hadn't been this lively in a long time.
He specifically hired a photographer, and with the Blue Shark band's consent, took many photos and recorded some video footage.
These photos were naturally to be displayed in a prominent position in the bar, and he planned to compile the video footage into DVDs to play in the bar.
This is a powerful advertisement, which will have immeasurable benefits for his bar's future business.
Of course, Han Chui also repeatedly emphasized that these video materials could only be used at the Green Garden Bar and could not be used for commercial purposes.
Regarding the Blue Shark band's request for this ball, we solemnly guarantee that this video footage will never be released to the market.
The performance lasted until 12:30, and this performance created a sales miracle of one million yuan for Green Garden Bar.
Although Liang Liang insisted that the performance was free, Yan Su still stuffed 200,000 yuan in cash into Liang Liang's hand.
"You guys coming here is a sign of respect for me, Brother Yan. If you don't take this money, you're not a brother and you don't need to come again."
Since things have come to this point, I have no choice but to take the money.
"I can't speak for other places in Beijing, but if anything happens west of the Second Ring Road, you should mention Brother Yan's name."
The fact that he dares to say such things shows that he really has a lot of influence.
Back at the hotel, Liang Liang took out 20,000 yuan and threw it to Huang Jie and Li Jinglin.
These two are acting all high and mighty, saying they can't charge money since they each sang only one song.
The renovation of those two courtyards required professional design, but the Blue Shark Band certainly wouldn't wait for the design results there. They continued their journey south to continue their performances.
They had visited Shijiazhuang last year and couldn't ignore its great rock music atmosphere, so choosing it as their stop was perfectly fine.
However, the fact that Shijiazhuang Station ends in Xinxiang, leaving a station there, has puzzled many people.
Many people don't know the story of Xinxiang and rock and roll, but Liang Liang does.
His breakout performance in his previous life, when rock music was in a period of silence, was born here.
It was April 1998, and this place hosted two of the highest-profile rock music events in China at the time.
How high are the specifications?
In terms of hardware, there are four speakers, each taller than a person, arranged in groups of more than twenty, creating a powerful and immersive atmosphere.
Before the band even appeared, the fans were already getting excited.
The lineup included almost all of China's top rock stars at the time.
The lineup for the first edition in 1998 included Overload, Zang Tianshuo, Zero Point, Tang Dynasty, Samsara, Sober, Compass, No. 43 Baojia Street, and even Su Ennan came to warm up the crowd.
The following year, Old Cui, Black Panther, Skinny Man, and Flower also arrived.
It was nothing short of a miracle at the time that such a large-scale new music event could be held in such an unfamiliar place.
The creator of this miracle was a man named Huang Liaoyuan.
He initially received an invitation from a disco in Zhengzhou, saying they wanted to put on a show featuring three bands.
At that time, Huang Liaoyuan had done several rock concerts in Beijing. He felt that the small-scale activities of three bands were not interesting, and he wanted to do nine bands.
A disco is far too small to accommodate nine bands, so they moved to the Xinxiang Sports Center, which has a capacity of 30,000.
It was from these two new music festivals that Xinxiang became the hometown of rock and roll.
The Blue Shark band chose this place as a stop, leaving everyone except Liang Liang completely bewildered.
