Chapter 162 The Yangtze River's Back Waves Push the Front Waves



Liu Wen also sent someone to inform Lü Yueli, asking her to make preparations.

Upon receiving the notification, Lü Yueli began making preparations.

She immediately sent people to build a stage at the factory gate.

To avoid obstructing traffic, the stage was ultimately built inside the company gate, about 20 to 30 meters away from the gate, directly facing the street.

The stage was set up in an afternoon.

Everything was ready on Lü Yueli's side, and all that was left was for the band to take the stage.

The Blue Shark band is preparing their repertoire for the performance.

The four songs from Su Ennan's album, the four songs he sang at Putong 100 that night, as well as "Facial Makeup," "In the Eyes," and the three songs he sold to Shi Zhang and Chen Jiewen.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Liang arranged for two more Cantonese songs.

These two Cantonese songs are "I Like You" by the band Beyond and their own "Cold Rainy Night".

Fifteen songs plus some rambling musings should be enough for a three-hour performance.

When Blue Shark returned to Guangzhou, Cheng Yuankai, the owner of Putong 100, found out immediately. That afternoon, he went to Pacific Company to find Liang Liang, hoping that they would come to Putong 100 for a performance in Guangzhou for the next two nights.

The tipping split is the same as last time, but this time there's an extra 3,000 yuan appearance fee, plus transportation, food, and accommodation.

The treatment was completely different from last time.

Accompanying Cheng Yuankai was Yan Liang, whose old rival Lin Jianye had completely parted ways with Putong100.

He got drunk that night, which infuriated Cheng Yuankai, so he had to find another way out.

Lin Jianye left, and Yan Liang, a petty man, gained power and took over the entertainment department of Putong100.

It can be said that in Putong100, he is now second only to one person and above many others.

Liang Liang declined Cheng Yuankai's invitation to sing at Putong 100 tonight because she was going to perform at Lü Yueli's company tomorrow morning, but she agreed to perform at Putong 100 nightclub tomorrow night.

They're heading to Hainan the day after tomorrow. There are no performances there, so they can take a break.

During this period, Pacific Company was quite the spectacle. The renowned musician Chen Xiaoqi was transferred to Pacific as Vice General Manager and Editor-in-Chief. He also used his connections to sign Ge Anping, Zhang Mingming, and the bald-headed Li Jin to Pacific. Also joining Pacific at the same time were Da Huajiao, who at the time had long hair, and Liao Baiwei.

For a time, the Pacific forces were strong and well-equipped.

This is also why Liu Wen wants to organize a national tour for his singers.

Liang Liang also met the Pacific Vice President who created "The Sound of Waves Remains the Same".

Chen Xiaoqi is a very talented person, and his talent is not limited to music.

Later, he became a lyricist, composer, music producer, and television producer. He was also a first-class writer and the vice president of the Guangdong Provincial Academy of Writers and Calligraphers.

His famous musical works include "The Sound of Waves Remains the Same", "How Are You, Big Brother?", "Nine-Nine Daughter Red", "I Don't Want to Say", as well as "Plateau Red" and "Cheers for Our Today" and many other songs.

It is said that he has published more than two thousand songs in total.

In the music industry, he is a legendary figure.

Of course, he's not that awesome yet.

Liu Wen and Chen Xiaoqi may have talked about the Sea Waves Women's Band, and Chen Xiaoqi asked Liang Liang a lot of questions about them.

These things should actually be handled by Han Chui; as the manager of the Blue Shark band, it's his job.

However, Han Chui has only been the manager of the Blue Shark band for a short time, and he is not very clear about many things about the band. For example, he only knows a little bit about the Sea Waves band.

This will have to be explained by Liang Liang for now.

Liang Liang explained to Chen Xiaoqi in detail the composition, age structure, and technical characteristics of the Sea Waves band.

Although Chen Xiaoqi didn't say anything, Liang Liang sensed that Chen Xiaoqi had developed an interest in the Sea Waves band.

And it seems like they're quite interested.

After discussing the Sea Waves band, Chen Xiaoqi asked about the Blue Shark band's collaboration with Pacific Records on an album.

Blue Shark had a preliminary agreement with Liu Wen about this matter before he went to Xianggang.

"Manager Chen! We haven't started preparing for this yet. We'll start planning this album after we return from Hainan. I don't think there's much hope of it entering the market before the new year."

Liang Liang's first album, "Hometown," was characterized by a pretentious and profound style, while his second album aimed for a fiery and passionate approach.

If the first album, "Hometown," was aimed at the mature audience, then the second album was designed for teenagers, featuring fast-paced rhythms, powerful beats, and passionate vocals.

Liang Liang also plans to name this album "Crazy" as a more straightforward title.

However, they haven't even started working on this album in collaboration with Pacific.

Choosing songs wasn't difficult; he could select them in half a day. However, band rehearsals would waste time, and recording would take even longer.

With only two months left until the Lunar New Year, it's really too tight to finish an album.

"We'll try our best. It would be best if we could finish it before the Lunar New Year. After all, the market before the Lunar New Year is the biggest. Families with tape recorders will buy two new song albums to take home and listen to during the New Year. This market cannot be ignored."

Liang Liang naturally understood this principle; he also wanted to release this album, which cost a lot of money.

I'll try my best.

After chatting with Cheng Yuankai and Chen Xiaoqi all afternoon, the whole afternoon was gone.

That evening, the Blue Shark Band borrowed a rehearsal room from Pacific Audio-Visual Company for a short rehearsal.

The performance is tomorrow, and regardless of the level of the performance, rehearsals are a must.

Even a simple investigation.

Blue Shark's rehearsal tonight is relatively simple; it mainly involves getting familiar with some pieces that haven't been performed in a long time.

Blue Shark still wields influence within Pacific Corporation.

Upon hearing that the Blue Shark Band was going to rehearse, all the singers signed with Pacific Entertainment stopped practicing their songs and rushed to Blue Shark's rehearsal hall to watch them rehearse.

Good heavens, there are more than twenty of them, and that's not all.

Seeing these singers, who already have some fame in the country, acting as his audience, Liang Liang was speechless.

They still felt the pressure.

These are songs that the Blue Shark band isn't very familiar with, including four songs from Suennan's album and "Legend".

They rarely perform these songs, so we need to find them and have them practiced.

Every time they rehearsed a song, the singers would applaud enthusiastically.

Not all the singers signed to Pacific Audio-Visual Company knew about the Blue Shark Band. When they learned that the Blue Shark Band composed all of these songs themselves, they all showed expressions of surprise.

Among these singers, two played rock music: Zhang Mingming and Da Huajiao, who were rock 'n' roll at the time.

Zhang Mingming and Liang Liang were not very familiar with each other in their previous lives. It seems that only a song called "Beauty Trap" had some influence on them, and the rest was unknown.

The big sedan chair was impressive; not only was he himself impressive, but his son became even more famous than him more than 20 years later.
