Su Ennan suggested that after the Lianwan stop of his national tour, he should co-organize the remaining concerts with the Blue Shark band.
From Su Ennan's perspective, whether this idea is clever or foolish remains to be seen.
However, from the Blue Shark band's perspective, it was an idea that brought them many advantages.
Liang Liang calculated that, at the very least, the box office should not lose money.
As long as the band doesn't lose money at the box office, whatever happens will be more beneficial than harmful to the Blue Shark band.
The experience gained is invaluable. With this experience, the Lanwan Band will not be completely lost when they go on a national tour in the future.
Liang Liang had no reason to refuse.
Liang Liang immediately called Han Chui in and conveyed the unexpected changes to him.
The next person to have a headache is naturally him. It's not the headache itself that's the problem; the real problem is that he has to solve the headache.
The venue for the Suennan event is the Lianwan City Workers' Stadium, a stadium with a long history in Lianwan City. Many important competitions were held here before the 1980s. However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, due to the completion of the new Lianwan City Stadium, large-scale competitions were basically no longer held here except for some small-scale competitions.
However, holding a concert would be a good option, as this stadium can hold 18,000 people.
Tickets for Su Ennan's concert are priced at 25 yuan for the first three rows of seats, 15 yuan for the next ten or so rows, and 10 yuan for the final seats.
If all 18,000 tickets are sold, they can fetch 200,000 yuan. After deducting advertising and tax revenue from long-term rentals, a single performance can leave a profit of 140,000 to 150,000 yuan.
This amount of money is quite considerable if divided among one person, but it's halved if divided among two.
Bands like Blue Shark receive even less; they can only earn a little over ten thousand yuan per show.
Liang Liang felt that there was something wrong with her thinking; she seemed to look down on the fact that she could earn more than 10,000 yuan from a performance.
This is an illness, it needs treatment!
On the afternoon of the 30th, the Blue Shark Band held their final rehearsal before the concert at the Workers' Stadium with Su Ennan. The rehearsal lasted four hours and went quite well.
Two artists from Su Ennan's company came from Xianggang. In Liang Liang's opinion, these two people were not even third-rate singers, because he did not know them at all.
This shows that Su Ennan's situation at his company, Yidong, was somewhat awkward.
On closer reflection, this isn't surprising. After all, he's from the mainland, while people from Hong Kong and Taiwan consider themselves superior and look down on people from the mainland.
Liang Liang still thinks his band is in a good position right now. "I won't sign with your company. If you think it's profitable, then cooperate with me. Nobody has to look down on anyone else."
Of course, their band's unconventional way of surviving is based on their strong original creative talent; without that talent, they would have been swallowed up long ago.
The Blue Shark band was originally scheduled to perform five songs at Suennan's concert.
The songs are mainly from the new album: "No Place to Hide," "Come Closer to Me," "Afraid You'll Cry for Yourself," "Don't Bother Me," and "In My Eyes."
However, because he was going to perform with the Black Island Band, he took down his own song "Afraid You'll Cry for Yourself" and replaced it with the Black Island Band's "Lonely Island".
The band's new album is on sale, so of course they want to strike while the iron is hot and sing songs from the new album. It's also a way to advertise the new album and sell as many copies as possible.
May Day, Labor Day, finally arrived in 1994.
All enterprises, institutions, and schools in Lianwan City have entered a three-day holiday, and the streets have suddenly become much more crowded with people strolling around.
Su Ennan's concert organizers also made the most of this last bit of time for advertising and promotion, with several groups of people handing out flyers on the streets.
Lianwan Morning Post and Lianwan Evening Post also published concert advertisements on prominent pages.
In any case, they've put in a lot of effort in terms of publicity.
On May Day, buses from Lianwan City to its subordinate county-level cities were overcrowded.
In recent years, many enterprises in Lianwan City have recruited children of employees from rural areas of subordinate county-level cities who are employed by local government. Now that they are on holiday, these employees are eager to go home, which has caused traffic congestion.
Today, the buses going down the road were packed with passengers, while the return buses were almost empty.
However, some people do the opposite, and the Azalea Band is one such group.
While others were heading to the countryside, they were heading straight for Lianwan City.
Liang Liang promised them he would take them to a concert, so naturally he had to keep his word!
The Azalea Band arrived in Lianwan on the first day, also intending to learn. They will stay at the Maritime Ballroom until the third day when they return to Landi City.
Although most industries had a holiday for May Day, some people did not.
The people who made the windows for the Haiyun Dance Hall didn't get a day off. After five or six days of work, the windows for the Haiyun Dance Hall were finally finished.
On the afternoon of the 1st, a truck arrived with six or seven windows. After three hours of installation, the large holes in the front of the Ocean Shipping Ballroom were finally replaced with brand new ones.
Although this converted storefront is only three meters wide, it is over twenty meters long and has an area of seventy or eighty square meters.
Liang Liang stood in the tidied-up, narrow storefront, looking left and right.
Guitars and basses can be hung on the wall, and keyboards and drum sets can be placed at the far end on either side of the door. The keyboards don't take up too much space and can be quite spacious, but the drum sets take up a lot of space. This store can only display one or two sample drum sets; the rest have to be stored in the warehouse.
We'll need to find a more spacious storefront in the future.
These past few days, Li Zhizhou has been busy with Su Ennan's concert arrangements, and I don't know if he's contacted any musical instruments for him.
Having a music store is not enough; you also need people to buy music. You can't just rely on people who want to play in a band, since their group is limited and their spending is limited.
Should we apply to open a training course?
Since the dance hall is idle in the morning and afternoon, it's a good opportunity to hold classes, collect tuition fees, and sell these musical instruments to them. It seems like a win-win situation.
That's something to consider. As for the people who teach the techniques, there are plenty of bands out there. Although they might not be qualified to perform on stage, they're certainly capable of instructing children.
They study in their own dance hall, without even paying for electricity or water. Surely they wouldn't object to giving these students some pointers? It's not like they're giving pointers every day.
There are more than ten bands here. If one band spends a day guiding all the bands, half a month will have passed in one cycle.
These measures are all feasible. We'll advertise them once the plan is finalized, but how much will the training course cost?
Is it collected monthly or by semester?
