Chapter 509 Preparing to Sweep Away the Korean Wave



The fifth band to perform at the night show was the Sea Waves.

As soon as the five pretty women stepped onto the stage, the various noises from the audience instantly rose several decibels.

Clapping, cheering, and whistling seemed insufficient to express the pent-up passion of these hormone-fueled beasts; shouts of "XX, XXX, I love you!" even escaped their lips.

Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao stood in the center like twins, flashing charming smiles at the audience.

The songs performed by the Sea Waves Band are "Riding the Waves" and "Don't Be Lonely".

Although it has been more than a year since the release of the album by the band Ocean Waves, its cumulative sales have quietly exceeded eight million, but it still has high sales, with tens of thousands of copies sold every month.

Moreover, the copyrights of many songs on this album were bought by Japan and South Korea, and many of the songs are very popular in these two regions. In particular, "Don't Be Lonely" has become a national anthem in South Korea, and everyone knows it.

The Sea Waves Band will be invited to perform in South Korea in August, with an appearance fee of up to one million Chinese dollars.

At the time, this appearance fee was not comparable to that of top-tier singers in Europe and America, but it was definitely the treatment of a top-tier singer in mainland China and Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao, with a guitar and a bass respectively, sang on stage while rhythmically swaying their bodies. Although the swaying was not large, it still exuded a myriad of charms.

Watching Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao's alluring figures performing on stage, Liang Liang suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Hormones are definitely the devil's mouthpiece in the human body; many bad things seem to originate from them.

He wasn't the only one whose body felt off. In this atmosphere of burning hormones, young people who were already overflowing with hormones were bound to be distracted, and this didn't discriminate between genders; they were attracted to both men and women.

Rock bands are the object of many girls' affections, so naturally there are more opportunities for romantic affairs to happen between them.

Even though it's the mid-1990s, there are still plenty of girls who don't take virginity seriously.

If it's consensual, it's not surprising that something romantic might happen.

Fortunately, Liang Liang had given them a heads-up before the music festival opened, repeatedly warning these rock bands.

He can't control what they do normally, but during the music festival, they should all tighten their belts and not do anything messy.

He wants to organize a healthy and positive music festival, which doesn't need these shady things to embellish it.

Organizing a music festival is no easy task, and we can't let these trivial matters ruin our reputation.

If the band commits a crime, the amount will be deducted from their appearance fee proportionally.

This starts with ourselves; we can't demand things of others while indulging ourselves.

Liang Liang took a deep breath, suppressing the rising anger in his heart.

The two songs by the Sea Waves band won overwhelming cheers.

After the Sea Waves Band finished their performance, the next band to take the stage was the Sound River Band.

The audience was initially surprised by the appearance of a folk music band, but their surprise vanished once they realized it was the same farmers' band that had appeared on television.

The documentary about Yinna River aired on Lianwan TV two weeks before the music festival opened.

After its release, it received rave reviews, and Liaoning TV also broadcast the film, which reportedly broke the ratings record for rural programs.

This video has been sent to the rural program department of CCTV and will be broadcast on CCTV soon.

Influenced by this documentary, the Yinna River Band's album experienced a sales boom in Liaoning Province.

When the Yinna River Band performed two fast-paced pieces, "Harvest" and "Abundance," Xu Mei picked up her guitar again and joined their performance.

Although they didn't have any fancy Western music, they still won a lot of applause with their simple singing and dynamic melodies.

The evening's performances were spectacular. After the Yinna River Band's performance, the Azalea Band from Landi and the Red Cliff Band from Yahe took the stage one after another. Then, the Hanchuang Band, Mayday Band, Xu Wei, and Black Panther Band also came on stage.

The Black Panther band, who headlined the night show, brought the performance to a climax, just like the Blue Shark band did during the daytime show.

The show ended at 11 p.m., but the audience lingered long after the show, drinking, chatting, and laughing at various stalls on the street outside. Some girls, their hearts fluttering with excitement, also lingered there, hoping to meet their favorite band members and have a beautiful, romantic encounter.

Their waiting was destined to be in vain.

The music festival organizing committee stipulates that bands are not allowed to go out for meals after the night session ends.

Even if you're going, you should wait until all the spectators outside have completely dispersed before going out.

There's no other reason than that if these guys went out, the girls would swarm around them like honey seeing flowers.

If the world were made up of women, that would be fine, but the problem is there are other men too.

Those hot-blooded young men saw that the girls were all attracted to these rock musicians, and a fight was bound to break out.

Once a fight breaks out and the police get involved, it's like mud falling into your crotch—even if it's not shit, it's still shit.

Therefore, although the music festival organizing committee's decision was somewhat inhumane, it was definitely the wisest one.

However, Liang Liang wasn't entirely heartless. After the audience left, several vendors who had previously made reservations for barbecues outside the Haiyun Dance Hall were brought into the music school's courtyard to serve the band members.

With over forty bands and more than two hundred people, these few stall owners would be busy enough.

These rock musicians never have the concept of going to bed early or waking up early. These guys eat barbecue with beer and keep eating skewers until after 3 a.m.

Some bands even have to perform during the day the next day, so these guys could easily stay up all night.

Liang Liang's requirement for them was that they were not allowed to talk about women or state affairs, and that they should preferably talk about music and exchange experiences and techniques.

After all, the barbecue chefs and their families in this courtyard are all outsiders. After a few drinks, they can't control themselves and bring up their dirty secrets with those girls.

After all, which band member doesn't have a few women throwing themselves at them?

If outsiders hear about these things and exaggerate them, the reputation of this industry is already not good, wouldn't it be even worse?

Liang Liang's efforts were thus diminished, so these topics are prohibited.

After the reason was explained, the musicians understood and deliberately avoided the topic during their conversation.

Liang Liang only stayed until a little after midnight before heading back.

After the Mayday band's music festival, they're going to Xianggang, and Liang Liang has to choose songs for their album.

The songs by the band Ocean Waves are based on those of singers from Green Island and Southeast Asia, while Liang Liang of Mayday is preparing to take on songs from the Bang Bang Nation.

Starting in 1996, South Korean arts and culture began to take off, and some very good pieces of music began to appear.

Liang Liang has started his talent-grabbing spree again, and the next target to wipe out is the Korean wave.
