As Liang Liang walked onto the street, she turned back and glanced at the Haiyun Dance Hall one last time, her feelings a mix of emotions.
The exterior of the Ocean Shipping Ballroom is quite upscale.
On the blue wall, a rock band with outstretched arms and legs is painted, giving it a very fashionable feel.
These poses were originally taken by Li Zhizhou, who then had them drawn.
However, the faces of the band members were rendered in an abstract manner during the drawing process.
To make their appearance ambiguous.
Although the appearance doesn't look quite the same anymore, the pose is still absolutely cool.
This is a dazzling neon backdrop that you can't see during the day, but it becomes even more vibrant and colorful at night.
Who would have thought that this was a closed-down nightclub just six months ago?
In just six months, they arrived, and the dance hall came alive.
Now, they're gone...
“Xiao Liang! Since the new boss lady is so unfair, why don’t you make it clear to them that Night Walk and Black Island Band will have to pay you if they sing your songs again? Just nod, and I’ll go back and talk to them right away.”
Liang Liang gave a wry smile: "Forget it! It's just a few songs. As long as they don't publish them, they can just sing them in nightclubs and that's fine!"
In the 1990s, copyright was still a pipe dream in mainland China. If you declared that he couldn't sing it, and he agreed to it to your face but sang it secretly behind your back, could you bite him?
What's the point of filing a lawsuit if there's no legal basis for it?
As long as the other party doesn't publish it, you can only turn a blind eye.
"This place will be a thing of the past for us from now on. We won't even have anywhere to stay when we go back to Lianwan City, haha!"
"Tch! If we wanted to stay, there are plenty of nightclubs that would send us in sedan chairs carried by eight men," Wang Fan said sullenly.
Wang Fan was absolutely right. If they really wanted to find a nightclub to stay in Lianwan City, the nightclub owners would be fighting tooth and nail for them.
"Let's go! Han Chui, your task now is to find us a safe, comfortable, and inexpensive hotel and arrange our plane tickets to Guangzhou tomorrow morning."
Han Chui patted his chest and said, "The plane ticket issue has been resolved. Now I'll take care of the hotel."
The hotel problem was much easier to solve; there were several hotels near the Ocean Jet Ballroom, so finding one that was decent would be fine.
Han Chui resolved the hotel issue in less than ten minutes, and then the group went to find a place to eat.
After dinner, we strolled around Lianwan City and enjoyed the winter sunset scenery.
They didn't really have much free time to enjoy the city at dusk.
They are a group whose daily routines are different from those of normal people, with their days and nights reversed. They feel extremely uncomfortable if their routines are changed.
That's how it was tonight. With no work to do and almost nothing to do, they all gathered in Liang Liang's room to listen to him arrange his future schedule.
“Sister Hongling! I’ve sent you all the songs. These will be the tracks on your future album. I personally reviewed your contracts, and they’re quite reasonable. Once you’re in the Pacific, you’ll have to follow their instructions. You and Zhang Hua are the oldest members of the group, so don’t act impulsively.”
Although Xiao Yao is the lead singer and the core of the band Hailanghua.
However, the person in charge of this band is Ming Hongling.
Ming Hongling is cautious and calm in her work, which is why she manages all the big and small matters of the band.
Ming Hongling's eyes were a little sore, and she answered in an unnatural voice, "I understand!"
"I will hand you over to the person in charge of Pacific Company, and then we will go to Xianggang. After we finish dealing with things there, we will come back directly. We probably won't see each other for a long time afterward, so please take good care of yourselves."
It would be better not to say this at all; once you do, the atmosphere feels like a life-or-death separation.
Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao have already started wiping their eyes.
"Don't be so pessimistic, okay? It's not goodbye forever! In two or three years, we'll be together again."
Liang Liang made such a vague statement without offering any further explanation.
"Will you come to Guangzhou to see us often?" Xiao Yao asked pitifully.
"Of course! We're also releasing an album with Pacific Records. We'll be recording it after the New Year, and then we'll see each other again, right?"
Being young, Xiao Yao started smiling as soon as she turned her head.
"Although none of us are used to going to bed early, you should all go to bed early tonight. We need to get up early to go to the airport tomorrow, so go back to sleep now."
The Sea Waves band went back to their rooms to sleep.
Nothing was said that night.
On the morning of December 22nd, a group of ten people finished breakfast and headed to the airport to catch the 9:00 AM flight to Guangzhou.
Four and a half hours later, they got off the plane at Guangzhou Airport.
Liu Wen personally came to the airport to pick them up in a minibus from Pacific Company and warmly shook hands with Liang Liang.
Liu Wen knows all the members of the Blue Shark band, so there's no need to introduce them. What needs to be introduced is the Sea Waves band.
Liang Liang gave Liu Wen a detailed introduction to each member of the Sea Waves Band.
After the introductions, everyone boarded a minibus and arrived at Pacific Company.
In the conference room of Pacific Company, Liu Wen also held a small welcome party for them, and then he sent someone to arrange dormitory accommodation for the Sea Waves Band.
"We've finished producing your two songs. They're the title tracks for two compilation albums and are currently in the tape pressing stage. Once the tapes are pressed, they'll be ready for release." Liu Wen introduced the two singles that Pacific Records was going to release for Liang Liang.
These compilation tapes mostly feature songs by Pacific Records' own singers, and the recording fees are minimal.
However, Blue Shark is not owned by Pacific Records, and the revenue from their two singles is based on a share of the album sales.
The exact amount you'll receive depends on sales volume.
If they can achieve sales of one million units, they can receive a share of tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.
This proportion is not too low, considering they only have one or two songs on this compilation.
"How's the preparation for our collaborative album coming along?"
Almost every time they met, Liu Wen would ask this question, and he never seemed to find it annoying.
"We already have seven or eight songs, all in the same style as the song 'No Place to Hide'."
"Great! Excellent! This album will definitely sell an amazing number of copies once it's released."
"How's the album preparation going in Xianggang? Do you know?"
"Of course I know. The music video you recorded in Xianggang was chosen by Jinmeng Company to be the song 'Hometown' and broadcast on TV. According to Jin Hao, the response was enthusiastic and unprecedented. They can't wait to release an album."
Jin Meng chose to play the "Hometown" music video, which disappointed Liang Liang. His original composition still didn't catch their eye.
It seems that my composition skills are still not up to par with the masters.
