Li Zhizhou will naturally be at the concert tonight, taking pictures non-stop, and even snapping several close-up shots of the Blue Shark band.
"Brother Li! Have you forgotten what I asked you to do?"
Li Zhizhou put down his camera, sat down next to Liang Liang, and took a box of Marlboro cigarettes from Liang Liang.
Liang Liang was speechless that this guy was willing to smoke foreign cigarettes. Foreign cigarettes are all blended cigarettes, dry and pungent, and extremely difficult to smoke. How could he like smoking such cigarettes? He would rather not smoke at all than smoke foreign cigarettes.
It's really just a pretentious act.
"Brother, how could I forget what you asked me to do! I've been helping Su Ennan with his shows these past few days. Although I haven't had time to talk to them in detail, I've gotten to the gist of it. It seems that Yamaha and that other company in Japan don't have any objections to setting up an agent in Lianwan City. But I haven't had time to discuss it in detail yet. I'll make time to talk to them properly after Su Ennan's concert. There shouldn't be any problems."
Liang Liang nodded.
The agent system is just emerging in China and is currently only found in first-tier cities in the south.
This business model is not yet available in northern cities, so Liang Liang's actions can be considered pioneering.
The Blue Shark band performed twice at Su Ennan's concert.
The first time they came on stage was halfway through the performance, and they sang "In My Eyes" and "Don't Bother Me".
When the Blue Shark band took the stage, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
"Guitarist Liu Yuyong!" Liang Liang gestured with his hand at a 90-degree angle and landed on Liu Yuyong.
Liu Yuyong immediately launched into a solo performance lasting over ten seconds. This solo was incredibly fast, with his hand speed estimated to be as high as five or six hundred, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves.
After Liu Yuyong's solo performance ended, Liang Liang immediately introduced Wang Fan.
"Keyboardist Wang Fan!"
Wang Fan then joined in with a solo performance.
"Drummer Xiao Yu!"
"Wow!" A chorus of exclamations erupted from the audience, as if it were the animal kingdom in springtime mating season.
Xiao Yu's popularity among the people is no less than Liang Liang's.
A girl who can play drums, and is also a great beauty, is bound to be popular.
Xiao Yu spontaneously beat a rapid drumbeat.
Finally, there's Liang Liang himself.
"Bassist Liang Liang!"
The entire stadium was once again engulfed in a tsunami.
Liang Liang did not perform solo; instead, the entire band played together on the same piece, "Let the Problems Come to the Surface."
When the performance ended, the stadium erupted as if an earthquake had struck.
This kid's got it! He's got a real knack for getting the audience excited. He hasn't even started singing yet, and he's already got the audience hyped with this song.
Suennan and his team whispered among themselves.
"Brother Nan! This piece of music wasn't in our rehearsal, was it?" Su Ennan said to an assistant.
"There really isn't that piece of music. It's quite interesting; it really showcases the unique characteristics of each member of the band."
This segment was added by Liang Liang on the spot. Its main purpose was not to liven up the atmosphere, but to advertise his own band and leave a positive image of Blue Shark Band in the minds of the audience as much as possible, laying the foundation for Blue Shark Band's future concerts.
When the piece reached its finale, the melody shifted to the prelude to "Don't Bother Me".
…
Hey hey hey, don't bother me!
Don't make me sad
This is the new Chinese fruit.
I don't want to say any more.
…
After finishing "Don't Bother Me," there was no pause in between, and the melody shifted to "In My Eyes."
…
My heart is wild as fire
My heart is as lonely as a burning fire.
My heart is wild as fire
My heart is as lonely as fire. Hey!
The Blue Shark Band's two consecutive medleys created a fiery atmosphere, but made Su Ennan's subsequent performance somewhat difficult.
Why does it feel like this guy's here to cause trouble?
Liang Liang chuckled: "Serves you right for plotting against me!"
Liang Liang also realized this problem; they couldn't act like this anymore, as it was indeed overshadowing the main character.
So when they came on stage for the second time two-thirds of the night, they changed the program. The song they were originally going to sing, "No Place to Hide," was temporarily replaced with a soothing song that could be translated as "Take Care."
Actually, if Liang Liang were to name this song, he would call it "Sleeping People Don't Cry Easily" or "Sleeping People Fly Freely."
The other song is still "Come Closer to Me".
The reason for replacing "No Place to Hide" was that they didn't intend to make the audience go crazy again, so as not to affect Su Ennan's performance and leave his show to be crazy.
The Blue Shark Band's show was over, and what remained were Su Ennan's signature closing acts: "Never Say Goodbye," "Find a Word to Replace," "999 Roses," "Thousand Paper Cranes," and "The Moon Caused the Trouble."
Especially the final performance of "The Moon Caused the Trouble," which brought the concert to a final climax.
Su Ennan's national tour kicked off successfully in Lianwan, selling 220,000 yuan worth of tickets.
The first stop of the performance has ended, and naturally, it's time to plan the second stop.
Because the Blue Shark band will be officially joining the second stop of the show, the program will have to be re-selected and rearranged.
Although the Blue Shark band joined, the profits were not distributed equally.
Su Ennan has a whole team operating on his side, with advanced equipment, and they've already started operating in advance. It's obviously unrealistic for Blue Shark to come in and split the profits 50/50.
Even though Su Ennan wanted the box office to be split equally, Liang Liang did not agree. They joined Su Ennan's concert to gain experience, not to take advantage of the situation.
Finally, both parties agreed to a 40/60 split, with Blue Shark taking 40%.
Although the profits only account for 40%, the Blue Shark band will perform quite a few songs; they will be performing thirteen songs.
Their songs are relatively easy to choose from. All nine songs from the album "No Place to Hide" plus "Harvest," "Missing You Is a Knife," and "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty" will complete the collection.
The songs for Su Ennan were easy to choose. He bought nine songs from Liang Liang in two separate transactions, and with four more songs, he would have a complete set.
After the songs were selected, the next step was to study the performance order and stage design of these songs.
Because his own band's participation in the performance was related to his personal interests, Liang Liang never refused to host the concerts afterward.
In Beijing, hiring a famous host would cost at least a thousand or eight hundred yuan, and that's not even for a famous one.
Hiring a famous one would cost two or three thousand yuan.
This expense can naturally be saved.
Both sides agreed to hold their first joint rehearsal on May 7th, and then go to Beijing on the 16th to familiarize themselves with the venue and rehearse.
Su Ennan also promised to take the Blue Shark band to see the rock scene in Beijing.
Liang Liang neither agreed nor disagreed with the suggestion. Blue Shark was not a pure rock band, and they did not want to have too much interaction with the Beijing rock scene.
Three days after Suennan Lianwan's concert, on May 5th, Li Zhizhou arrived at the Haiyun Ballroom.
