Luo Lin's album still uses his real name, and he did not start using the name Dao Lang. He himself did not hide his identity, but appeared directly on the album cover.
The CD also contained music videos for "The Shepherd" and "Under the Northern Sky," which clearly exposed him.
Liang Liang suddenly remembered that when the album "The First Snow of 2002" was a hit in her previous life, the whole country was concerned about what Luo Lin looked like.
Because his image is nowhere to be found in any of the albums, whether they are official or pirated.
Since we don't know what he looks like, all sorts of guesses have come up.
Dao Lang is very ugly and embarrassed to face the audience, so we only hear his voice but never see his face.
Dao Lang is a disabled person who uses a wheelchair, and he's a dwarf; he doesn't dare to come out in public.
Dao Lang has three eyes
Dao Lang has four arms...
Mystery is a fascinating thing; it can arouse people's strong curiosity, making them want to know more the more they don't know.
I'll use this trick in this lifetime too, starting when Luo Lin appears under the name Dao Lang.
Wait until fans across the country are itching to see him before he appears in front of the public.
That's the decision.
Liang Liang thinks it's pretty good that this album has achieved this result so far.
Luo Lin also talked enthusiastically with Liang Liang about their second album, "Walking into Xinjiang," which they were preparing to produce.
Almost all of Luo Lin's early album "Maiquer's Love" can be found online, but there is no information about his second album "Walking into Xinjiang", and there is also little trace of his third album "Xinjiang Original First Strike".
Both albums ended up with dismal sales.
This forced him and his band to perform in bars because they were struggling to make ends meet.
But they are not in such a miserable state now. At least the signing with Haiyun provides them with a livelihood and allows them to focus on creating songs.
"Brother Luo! I think the most important thing for you right now is to go down to the countryside to gather inspiration and collect creative materials. Xinjiang is such a big place, there are plenty of materials for you to collect. Don't rush to make the album. It's not too late to make it when you feel that your head is full of things and they are about to flow out on their own."
Liang Liang blinked twice: "Wouldn't that make us useless people who just take money and don't do any work?"
“I haven’t said anything, why are you all in such a hurry? You don’t need to rush to make an album for now. Go down to the grassroots, listen to the folk songs, and find your own creative inspiration. Even if you don’t work on it, I will urge you to do so.”
You can't write good songs by working in isolation; works without a foundation in life are just superficial.
When you have accumulated enough knowledge and material, these works may just flow out on their own.
Han Chui is usually carefree and irresponsible, but he is very quick when it comes to getting things done.
The next morning, I arrived at the building in front of the Urumqi Center with Mr. and Mrs. Luo Lin.
In 1997, real estate developers were just starting out, and there weren't many real estate projects developed in Urumqi. They were mostly concentrated in places that were neither too far nor too close to the city center. There were only a few communities, and they were the old-fashioned open-style communities with low-rise buildings, mostly seven or eight stories high.
The retail price is 1,800, and the residential price is 900.
Liang Liang followed along, and after looking at two buildings, they finally stopped in front of a building that faced south.
"This one is good! This set is nice."
The set Liang Liang was talking about was quite good; it was a series of interconnected layers, one above the other.
The storefront on the first floor is five meters wide and twelve meters long, and the second floor has the same area, totaling more than 120 square meters.
"If we soundproof the first floor, it can be used as your band's creative workspace, and the second floor is for you two to live in. That's great!"
This building costs over 160,000, but after taxes it costs 180,000.
Based on 1997 standards and prices, the renovation of this 120-square-meter apartment would probably cost 40,000 yuan.
The whole set will cost around 220,000 yuan.
The Luo couple were very satisfied, so Han Chui went to the sales office to pay the money and get the property certificate.
As for the renovation, that's up to them to do.
Liang Liang gave Luo Lin and his wife another 50,000 yuan for renovations.
At the Urumqi performance, Luo Lin and his band performed four of their songs as supporting acts: "The Shepherd," "Under the Northern Sky," "Light Rain," and "The Evening Breeze Comes Quickly."
Performing on the same stage as the Blue Shark Band made the people of Urumqi remember their names.
Because the concerts were held indoors in a stadium, the ticket revenue for the two concerts in Urumqi was only around 400,000 yuan. After deducting expenses such as venue rental, taxes, and advertising, there was a surplus of more than 200,000 yuan.
Blue Shark's Northwest Tour has come to a successful conclusion.
The band's total earnings from this tour were less than three million.
In terms of economic benefits, performances in inland areas are indeed not as profitable as those in coastal cities.
On November 10th, the Blue Shark band left Urumqi to return home, making a brief stopover in Beijing during their layover.
Liang Liang went to visit a small theater in the capital.
Huang Jie managed the small theater in Beijing very well. Almost all the bands from Shucun used to make a living here. Each band member could earn about one to two thousand yuan a month. Although it was far from being rich, it was enough to make ends meet.
Early next year, Haiyun Audio-Visual plans to release two albums for them, and the title has already been chosen: "Underground Rock in Beijing".
These guys put in a tremendous amount of effort in composing songs for this album, hoping their compositions would be selected, and they even stopped chasing girls.
This greatly disappointed the fruit-bearers.
Liang Liang noticed that there were quite a few stylishly dressed young women outside the theater, looking rather bored.
Are these people stupid? Don't they feel cold outside?
Seeing them shivering from the cold, Liang Liang felt a pang of pity.
"When there are no performances, they can come in to warm up, as long as they don't do anything messy here."
"No! Once they come in, these guys won't concentrate. They're all young, it would be strange if things didn't go wrong if they got too excited. It's better not to let them in." Huang Jie's attitude was very firm.
It seems Huang Jie has figured it out: women can sometimes be obstacles on the road to success, and staying away from them might bring him closer to success.
Fortunately, there was no feminism at that time; otherwise, people would have been beaten to death.
This small theater now sees 800 to 1,000 people every night, and the two-tiered stands are almost always full.
Five yuan was not an exorbitant price in 1997; ordinary people could come and have a go.
That evening, Liang Liang also watched a performance at a small theater in Beijing.
It was no different from a large concert, with musicians performing to their hearts' content on stage and the audience below shouting themselves hoarse.
