Liang Liang didn't elaborate much on the concert, only mentioning it briefly.
Let them guess what I'm saying.
The concert arrangements haven't been finalized yet, so there's no point in saying too much.
This brief mention can pique their curiosity and might even have a better promotional effect than excessive elaboration.
After finishing their performance of "The Feeling of Flying," the Blue Shark Band left the stage despite the continued applause and deafening shouts from the audience.
"Brother Luo! How did it feel to sing on stage?"
Luo Lin was a little embarrassed: "It's alright!"
"Your voice is different from others; it has a special charm. You should cherish it!"
"I know my voice is different from other people's; it's a bit hoarse. That's why I don't dare to open my mouth and sing, afraid that people will laugh at me."
"What's there to be afraid of? If all voices sounded the same, what's the point of listening to them?"
How monotonous the world would be if everyone's voices sounded the same.
"Brother Luo! There's something I need to tell you. Our keyboardist will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning."
Luo Lin certainly knew what this meant. Liang Liang had made it clear to him the day before yesterday that he was only needed to temporarily fill in for him.
His expression was somewhat somber, and he felt a pang of reluctance. These past two days working with the Blue Shark band had been the happiest time of his life in recent years.
"But if you'd like, you can come with us before we leave Haikou."
Although this was good news for Luo Lin, she wasn't the kind of person who didn't understand the situation. It would be shameless for her to stay here when the keyboardist had returned.
"I am very grateful for your help these past two days. I will go look for a job tomorrow."
"I'm not just being polite. You can still contribute by staying with us for now, though it won't be for very long, maybe ten days to two weeks. We've decided to participate in the competition between Tengda Construction Company and Guozhong Dance City. After this competition, we'll leave Haikou. If we win the grand prize, you can share it equally. What do you think?"
Why did you decide to participate in this competition?
"I think the bonus is quite generous, and I feel a little unwilling to not take it."
Luo Lin was exhausted, yet he spoke as if the grand prize was a sure thing for them.
"But what can I do?"
"Tomorrow is the registration day for this competition. You are quite familiar with the people at the Junior High School Dance Hall. Take our band's manager to register, and then try to find the owner of the Junior High School Dance Hall. My manager will talk to the owner of the Junior High School Dance Hall about holding a small concert there during the day."
"The band is going to hold a concert at the Junior High School Dance Theater?"
"One is to earn some pocket money, and the other is to promote the band. A band can't participate in a competition like this without being famous. That's one role you're playing. The other role is to participate in our band's performances. You can be the keyboardist, and Wang Fan can be the assistant guitarist. Is that alright?"
Over the past six months, Wang Fan has not only improved his keyboard skills but also put in a lot of effort on the guitar.
The reason was simple: he thought playing the guitar looked cool and could attract girls' attention.
Although his motives were somewhat impure, his skills still made great progress. With Liu Yuyong's guidance, it was impossible for him not to improve.
He's not qualified to be the lead guitarist, but he can still coast along and fill in the gaps.
"I have no objection."
Only an idiot would have an opinion.
"Okay! You and Han Bangbang will take care of these things tomorrow morning. You'll get your share of tonight's performance tomorrow morning."
The next morning at 7:30, all the band members, including Luo Lin, came to the People's Hospital to welcome Wang Fan home upon his discharge.
"Let's welcome our battle hero, who fought three hundred rounds with seafood and almost died a heroic death, back from the hospital! Play the music!"
Liang Liang set up the rice seedlings, and Han Chui played two tunes, pretending to blow trumpets, with a series of "dang dang dang" sounds.
Wang Fan kicked Han Chui in the buttocks.
"You bastard, playing funeral music like that! Isn't that cursing me?!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Liang Liang introduced Luo Lin and Wang Fan.
"This is Brother Luo! He covered for you these past two days while you were away."
Wang Fan shook hands with Luo Lin: "Brother Luo, you've worked hard."
The two shook hands tightly, just like the scene in an old movie where our soldiers reunite.
After Wang Fan returned, Han Chui and Luo Lin went to the National Middle School Dance Hall to register.
Liang Liang will compose the song list for the concert.
Even for a small concert, you need to prepare at least twenty-four or twenty-five songs.
Liang Liang provided a program schedule.
The four songs on Su Ennan's album are: "Find a Word to Replace", "999 Roses", "My Heart Wants You to Hear It" and "Thousand Paper Cranes".
The books sold to Jinmeng Company were "I Can't Forget You", "Sky" and "Legend".
The three songs by the band Beyond: "I Like You," "Really Love You," and "The Days Gone By."
In addition, there are "Blue Lotus", "Love Fire", "Longing is a Knife", "Facial Makeup", "In the Eyes", and "The Feeling of Flying".
There are only sixteen poems listed.
After thinking about it carefully, there's another song called "Grey Bird".
Even so, it wasn't enough. Liang Liang hesitated about whether to take a few songs from the band's hometown album.
After thinking about it, I gave up on that plan. I'll just find some old songs I sang before, like "I'm Not a Bad Kid," "When Dreams Awaken," and "Dream Chaser," and that will be enough.
Liang Liang finished listing the songs and showed them to the band members.
These songs are ones that our band has sung and rehearsed before, so we can just familiarize ourselves with them and go on stage. But they are more challenging for Luo Lin.
Aside from learning seven songs with the Blue Shark band in the last two days, he still needs to work out the other songs with the band.
Han Chui is a smooth talker and a procrastinator.
The owner of the dance hall was so annoyed by his nagging that he almost called the police, if it weren't for Luo Lin's presence.
They said they didn't plan to rent out the venue for a concert. Besides, who is the Blue Shark band?
He had never seen the Blue Shark band perform, so of course he didn't know who Blue Shark was.
Another reason was that he was afraid the venue would be messed up and affect the opening at night, but he couldn't resist Han Chui's persistent pestering and finally got annoyed by his nagging and agreed.
However, there are conditions.
Do not touch anything in the performance hall; you will be liable for compensation if you damage anything.
You can use the equipment at the nightclub, but it will cost money, and you will be required to pay the original price for any damage. You will be responsible for cleaning up the venue after the concert, which will last for three hours from 1 pm to 4 pm. The venue rental fee is 2,000 yuan, and water, electricity, and equipment fees will be charged separately.
The main hall of the National Chung Chung Dance Hall has two floors and a total of 560 seats, making it practically a small movie theater.
After agreeing on the terms and signing the contract, Liang Liang inspected the Guozhong Song and Dance City around 1 p.m. that day.
