Xu Wei's version of "Hometown" was like a spoonful of oil being poured into a hot pan; he blew the audience away in a different way, and the applause after the performance lasted for a long time.
Even Liang Liang had to admit that Xu Wei's rendition of this song had a different flavor; after all, he was the original singer.
Although this song wasn't his original work in this life, his understanding of it was far deeper and more profound than his own, as if there was a natural resonance between them.
This is rather amazing.
The Black Island Band's accompaniment also impressed him.
He rarely went to the performance hall of the Ocean Shipping Ballroom to watch shows in the past month or two. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the Black Island Band's playing skills have improved to another level.
It turns out that the Black Island band's overall level was quite average.
At least that's what Liang Liang thought when they first met him.
It can't even be made neat; it's not even in place.
With Liang Liang's corrections and guidance, their skill level finally became decent.
Unexpectedly, their skill level has improved significantly in the last two months, which is probably related to their intense rehearsals for the performance.
A band's overall skill level is greatly influenced by its rehearsals; a band that neglects rehearsals will never improve its technical skills.
Liang Liang suddenly realized that their band had been neglecting rehearsals for the past few months.
After the Hung Hom concert, we will rehearse for at least three hours a day.
It would be embarrassing if the performance suddenly fell apart one day in the future.
The electric guitar played by the Black Island band left a good impression on Liang Liang.
Liang Liang remembered that the guy used to get nervous as soon as he went on stage, and when he got nervous, his hands would become stiff like chicken claws.
Unexpectedly, this guy now dares to act so calm and composed, his hands swaying like willows in the wind as he strums the strings.
The saying "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation" is absolutely true.
Following "Hometown," the Black Island Band performed their song of the same name, "Black Island."
This song is quite well-known in Lianwan City. They perform at the Haiyun Dance Hall, and it's a must-sing song almost every night, so it has a relatively large audience.
Then came three of Xu Wei's own compositions: "Blessing," "Youth," and "Persistence."
After these three songs were performed, the people of Lianwan finally got to know Xu Wei, a somewhat shy and low-key rock singer, and gave him cheers and applause without reservation.
Xu Wei had seen many grand occasions in Xi'an, but he was still moved at this moment, his eyes glistening with tears.
After Xu Wei and the Black Island Band's performance, the Three-Legged Cat Band came on stage and sang two of their own songs.
Zhou Xue, the lead singer of the Sanjiaomao band, has a pretty good voice, and both songs are passable.
However, their band's strength is somewhat weak, especially the bassist, who is their weakest link.
I heard that bassist comes from a wealthy family, but he doesn't practice hard at all, and I won't listen to you no matter what you say.
Zhou Xue wanted to replace him several times, but she couldn't find a suitable replacement.
Because bass players are not valued in bands, not many people learn bass, and the most direct consequence is that there are very few good bass players.
This is like a vicious cycle.
However, recently, Zhou Xue discovered a little girl in the bass class at the music school who was quite good at playing bass.
She plans to wait until she has made significant progress before recruiting her into the band.
As for the original bassist, he can go wherever he wants to be a big shot.
The performance had lasted two and a half hours, and more than half of the show had been completed. Now, only one song by the Hanmei Group and a performance by the Blue Shark Band remained.
The fact that Hanmei's second song was scheduled before the headlining performance by Blue Shark shows how much importance this group received.
"Our show is almost over for tonight. Now we'd like to invite one of the groups that performed earlier to perform. What do you all say?"
"Okay!" Many people in the audience were still thinking about the two pretty girls, and now they knew it was time for them to come on stage.
"Come on! Raise your lucky hands and give a warm round of applause to welcome the Korean-American duo to the stage!"
Amidst thunderous applause, Xu Mei and Lin Hanrui reappeared.
Two pretty girls walked to the center of the stage with big smiles.
Liang Liang held up the microphone and conducted a pretentious interview with them.
"Ladies, you just sang the very popular dance song 'Help Help Help' from the disco. What will you be performing next?"
"The next piece we're going to perform is 'Shalala,' a dance song that's only recently become popular in nightclubs. I hope you all enjoy it!" Xu Mei answered Liang Liang's question sweetly.
"Alright! Next, let's enjoy the dance song 'Shalala' by the Huanhanmei Group. Everyone, give them a round of applause!"
After the announcement, Liang Liang left the stage and began changing her clothes.
After the Hanmei Duo finished their song, it was Blue Shark's turn to appear.
When Liang Liang went backstage to change clothes, Han Chui settled his bill with the gymnasium and happened to arrive backstage as well.
"I've settled the box office figures. It totaled 46,400 yuan. After deducting all expenses and taxes, let's say the profit is 30,000 yuan."
The profit of 30,000 exceeded Liang Liang's expectations; he thought he would only make 20,000.
"Keep the money for now, and distribute it proportionally tomorrow."
"I've already arranged for an additional show, but it can only be added the night after tomorrow."
"If we make a profit this time, we can even cut our losses for the next one. You decide! The show on stage is almost over, it's our turn to go on stage."
While they were talking, Liang Liang had already changed into her performance costume.
The Hanmei Band's performance of "Shala Lala" was also coming to an end. The audience below the stage was completely engrossed in the fast-paced dance music, their bodies swaying involuntarily.
Lin Hanrui was the lead performer, and Xu Mei was the lead vocalist.
They've been busy arranging and rehearsing for the past few days to prepare for this performance, and today they finally showcased all their skills.
Judging from the screams and shouts from the audience after the music stopped, their performance was a success.
Although their performance was over, they did not leave the stage because the Blue Shark Band needed their accompaniment for their song "Missing You Is a Knife".
It was already 10 o'clock, and the performance had been going on for three and a half hours. Liang Liang felt there was no need to waste any more time, so he stopped rambling and got straight to the point.
The film opens with "Nothing to My Name".
Liang Liang sang this song only a few times at the Haiyun Ballroom. Because he hadn't released an album yet, many people in Lianwan City hadn't heard the song. So when Liang Liang shouted the line "I used to ask you endlessly, when will you come with me?", the whole audience was in an uproar.
This is another piece of music that will give those who haven't heard it before a completely new experience.
No need for a thousand words, some songs can hit the G-spot in some people's hearts with just one line. With just one line, some people are moved to tears and cannot control themselves.
