Upon returning to the dance hall, Liang Liang gave Ban Ya a task.
Tell him to drive Qin Wenju's car to Liang Liang's house and bring over the electric guitars that Liang Feng made.
Ban Ya had been to Liang Liang's house before and knew where it was, so of course he had to be sent there.
At 7:30, the second day of the preliminary rounds of the inaugural Oriental Harvest Cup Farmers' Singer Television Grand Prix began.
Liang Liang was completely different today than yesterday. He was overjoyed to have a new judge, and even his eyebrows and forehead wrinkles were beaming with smiles.
I feel so relaxed and happy.
With Liu Wen and Jin Hao here, Liang Liang can't be in the center position.
As the youngest among them, he could only sit in the very edge.
He didn't seem to care much about that.
This time, the judging panel is exceptionally strong.
Liu Wen and Chen Xiaoqi from Yangcheng Pacific Audio-Visual Co., Ltd., along with a composer and singer Zhang Yan, were also present.
The other four are Jin Hao from Xianggang Jinmeng Audio-Visual Company, music director Yu Lingling, and singers Shi Zhang and Chen Jiewen.
As soon as the host introduced the new judging panel, the audience in the dance hall erupted in cheers.
In the 1980s and 90s, people from Xianggang were still looked up to on the mainland, and their small county-level city hardly ever had any Xianggang people.
Even with investment promotion efforts, no Hong Kong businessmen came to invest.
Unexpectedly, a competition for farmers' singers has attracted four people from the rural arts and culture circles, two of whom are singers.
Shi Zhang and Chen Jiewen have had a very good year, and they are already top-tier singers in Hong Kong.
Not only are they doing well in singing, but they have also begun to venture into the film and television industry, with some art films already released.
Many people in Yahe have heard their songs, especially Chen Jiewen's "Sky" and "Legend," which have a wide following in Yahe. The two of them have a high level of popularity in Yahe and are naturally welcomed by the people of Yahe.
The judges' scoring this time was basically fair and impartial. Thirty singers participated in the preliminary round, which lasted four hours from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and all received fair scores.
After the morning competition ended, the other judges went to lunch, while Liang Liang walked out of the Oriental Song and Dance Hall.
Around 9 a.m., Ban Ya drove Qin Wenju's car to his house and brought the five electric guitars, which he placed on the back seat of Qin Wenju's Santana sedan.
The bag containing the five instruments was brought back from Xiliu Nantai by someone selling bags at the Liangliang market; it also looked colorful and patterned.
When Liang Liang walked out of the Oriental Song and Dance Hall, a group of young people had already surrounded the Santana, peering into the car through the windows.
This guy, Fangya, is sleeping in the driver's seat.
Fortunately, it's a cloudy day today. If it were a sunny day, sleeping in an old Santana car at midday would have made me steam alive.
Among the young people surrounding the Santana sedan, Liang Liang recognized the young man surnamed Ma who had wanted to buy a piano the previous night.
"You've arrived so early! I haven't even had my meal yet."
"We were anxious, so we came early. The piano in the car is for us, right?"
"How many of you actually bought it?"
"There are at least three, and a few others are still hesitant, wanting to see how the zither is."
"I can tell you with certainty that these instruments are considered good among low-end instruments. The only problem is that the lacquer is not properly applied, which is why these instruments are considered substandard."
If we categorize electric guitars into top-quality, high-quality, mid-quality, and low-quality, Liang Feng's electric guitars would undoubtedly be considered high-quality within the low-quality category. The only thing lacking is the finish.
Liang Feng didn't quite figure out how to use the oven Liang Liang bought, and the paint matching wasn't very reasonable either, so the finish on the finished guitar always looked messy and uneven.
Although the lacquer finish wasn't perfect, the colors were still vibrant, and the five instruments had different color combinations, making them look quite colorful.
Liang Liang opened the car door and asked the young men to help carry the instruments into the Oriental Song and Dance Hall.
"Be careful! Although the zither isn't very valuable, it's still fragile and can be damaged."
Liang Liang reminded him from time to time while he was getting the instrument.
The Oriental Song and Dance Hall was empty at noon.
People won't arrive until 1 p.m.
Liang Liang directed them to take the instruments to the backstage practice room.
He opened a guitar case, took out a dark red guitar, and handed it to Ma Gan.
“I have an hour and a half. Let’s not rush to try them one by one. I’ve already tuned all these instruments. You can try them out! Start by not plugging them in and then plug them in.”
Ma Gan probably didn't dare to show off in front of Liang Liang, and only tested the pitch and feel with and without the power cord plugged in.
"This is a mahogany body guitar with a hard maple veneer. It has a relatively balanced high, mid, and low frequencies, a slightly bright tone, and strong projection."
Liang Liang described the characteristics of this zither.
After trying out this violin, Liang Liang took out a blue violin from the second violin case.
This instrument has a much deeper tone, with a particularly noticeable mid-low range, sounding rich and warm.
This is a guitar with an alder wood body.
Alder is a medium-density wood, and its tone is moderate.
Liang Liang suddenly noticed that his younger brother seemed to have a pattern in how he colored each instrument: warm-colored instruments had a brighter and higher tone, while cool-colored instruments had a lower tone.
After trying out each guitar, Ma Gan chose the alder wood guitar with a deep blue outer ring and a light blue center, which had a deep, resonant sound.
He was very satisfied with the guitars Liang Liang brought. He was surprised by the sound quality of the electric guitars that cost only 400 yuan. Only a fool wouldn't buy them.
He wasn't a fool. Among the young men who came with him, some didn't want to be fools. After he bought the blue zither, a young man surnamed Qi bought the dark red zither, and a young man surnamed Guo bought a zither that was half dark red and half orange-yellow.
The remaining black and yellow guitar and the gray wood-grain guitar were also bought by two other young men whose names were unknown.
Liang Liang taught them some guitar maintenance tips, wrote down their names and addresses in a notebook, and promised to provide warranty service for any problems with the guitars.
Ma Gan and his companions left happily, and Liang Liang hurriedly ran back to eat.
When he arrived at the restaurant, those who ate quickly had already finished, and even those who ate slowly were almost done eating.
Liang Liang finished her meal as quickly as possible and then returned to her room to rest.
Little did I know that I was so scared when I entered the house that I almost wet my pants.
Qin Wenju arranged a single room for him. When he entered the room, he found that Xiaoqian, Xiaoyao and Xumei were sleeping on his bed like three cute cats.
What's going on here?
Xu Mei and Xiao Qian and Xiao Yao did not know each other. To be precise, they were definitely not familiar with each other before sunrise today, but in just one morning they became so close that they shared the same pants and slept in the same bed.
What amazing story unfolded here?
