Liu Dehua is releasing a new album next year. Although he already has his own lyricist and composer, he still commissioned Liang Liang to write two songs for him.
The statistics from Shucun have been completed. There are 56 singers from other places, and 7 of them are not planning to go back. There is no other reason why these singers are not planning to go back, except for travel expenses.
Liang Liang gave Ban Ya 6,720 yuan.
He calculated that even if 100 yuan could cover the musicians' travel expenses home, would they go hungry after several days on the train?
They gave each person an extra twenty yuan for food.
Don't expect them to eat anything good; a few cents' worth of instant noodles will definitely be enough to satisfy them.
At Huang Jie's urging, Ban Ya distributed the money to the musicians from other places.
The moon hand was bewildered after receiving the money and had no idea what had happened.
“When Liang Liang came to Shucun last time, he asked about everyone’s plans to go home before the New Year. I said that many people might not be able to go home because they couldn’t afford the travel expenses. He kept that in mind and paid for it himself so that his brothers could have travel expenses and have a good New Year.”
These musicians experienced a mental lapse of about ten seconds.
Although no one in Shucun looked down on them, they still faced a lot of contempt from outside.
No one has ever helped them for no reason. The lack of understanding from the relevant authorities and the lack of support from society have left them with a lot of resentment towards society.
But now, a person they had only met once offered them a large sum of money to help them return home, which moved them deeply.
Six thousand yuan is definitely a huge sum of money for them now.
Some people were so moved that they burst into tears.
Moved by their experience, the musicians realized one thing: at least they wouldn't have to sell their equipment to pay for their travel expenses this year.
One hundred and twenty yuan is not a large sum, but it is enough to support them to return to their hometown.
Those who are talkative expressed their gratitude.
After handing out the money, Ban Ya saw the musicians' grateful faces and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
On January 14th, the Blue Shark band held their first rehearsal.
Although it was said to be the closing rehearsal, there were still two or three thousand performers participating in the Spring Festival Gala, and these people filled CCTV's Studio One to capacity.
On TV, Liang Liang thought that CCTV's Studio One was quite spacious, but when he arrived at the venue, he was very disappointed. It felt smaller than the Lianwan City Gymnasium.
They were number eleven in the performance order, meaning they were the eleventh act to appear.
Following the opening dance "Auspicious Red Lantern Dance," there was a song and dance performance by Tao Jin and a female singer, followed by the song and dance "New Year's Eve," the song "May All Your Wishes Come True," and the skit "Finding the Focus"...
After the crosstalk performance "Who's Sick" ended, the Blue Shark Band came on stage.
They had their own segment, rather than sharing it with others, which shows that CCTV's program team attached great importance to their segment.
There is still some controversy surrounding the appearance of the Blue Shark band.
Some suggested that only lead singer Liang Liang should appear on stage, while the band should remain behind the scenes.
This opinion received support from many people.
The Spring Festival Gala has been held for more than ten years now, and almost all the bands have remained behind the scenes and have not yet appeared on stage.
Blue Shark is even less likely to break this example.
However, this suggestion naturally has its opponents, and the opposition group is not small.
Since the propaganda department allowed a singing group like the Blue Shark Band to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage, it shows that the propaganda department does not want to completely shut down the rock music scene. The Blue Shark Band's appearance is a statement of this.
In other words, the Blue Shark band's performance on the Spring Festival Gala set a standard for rock musicians in China: as long as they act within the rules, the country will still give rock music a chance to survive.
Of course, if those who play rock music are politically sensitive and don't understand the meaning here, and continue to do things their own way as before, then it's only a matter of time before rock music is banned and left to die out on its own.
Since the publicity department has opened up the door, Blue Shark, as one of the benchmarks, should naturally appear on stage in its original form in order to represent the image of rock. What's the point of just having a lead singer?
The two sides argued for several days, but in the end the opposing side won, which led to the scene of all the members of the Blue Shark band standing on the rehearsal stage.
The Blue Shark band appeared on stage wearing rather plain Blue Shark brand sportswear.
Liang Liang stood in the center, with Liu Yuyong on her left, Dou Wei on her right, and Wang Fan and Xiao Yu behind her.
Dou Wei was invited by Liang Liang to help out, and he played the rhythm guitar.
As soon as the Blue Shark band appeared on stage, the actors who were temporarily acting as the audience began to applaud and cheer.
Although he was a seasoned veteran, and this was just a rehearsal, Liang Liang still felt a little nervous.
This hadn't happened in a long time, and even when facing more than 12,000 audience members at the Hong Kong Coliseum, he didn't feel nervous at all.
Right now, he's only facing two or three thousand audience members, all of whom are actors, yet he feels nervous. This is somewhat unbelievable.
Liang Liang took a deep breath and gently plucked a bass string.
Like a battle horn, as the bass echoed faintly, Liu Yuyong's guitar sounded perfectly, and the drums blended in seamlessly.
Judging from this short ensemble intro, the band seems to be in great form today.
Why aren't any of these guys nervous? Turns out he's the only one who's nervous.
Whenever I feel pain
I just want you to hold me tight.
Just like you've always done
Touch my soul
…
Once she started singing, Liang Liang quickly focused her energy on the song, immersing herself completely, and her nervousness vanished without a trace.
I hope you will remember me.
Your wandering child
No matter when or where
I miss you.
I hope you can understand what you mean to me.
No matter when or where
You are like my life.
At this point in the song, Liang Liang burst into a barely audible roar:
I love you, my motherland.
My beloved mother
I shed tears for you
I'm proud of you too.
…
Standing on this stage to sing this song, Liang Liang was in high spirits. Today, he sped up the melody slightly, which made the whole song more fluid, but not solemn.
The actors who were acting as the audience were also excited; the young ones stood up and jumped around, while the older ones smiled.
Several leaders-looking people sitting in the center of the audience area nodded frequently.
Although there are leaders from CCTV among these people, it is clear that not all of them work for CCTV; some of them are obviously not from CCTV.
But most people didn't know where they came from, and neither did Liang Liang.
He's just focusing on singing his song until the very last note.
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted in CCTV's Studio One.
