While the Blue Shark band was dancing and gesturing wildly on stage, staff from Pacific Records were selling albums.
The albums sold at the event today are being called a special edition by Pacific Records. Each album comes with a keychain inside its plastic cover, featuring a beautifully crafted little star card about the size of a small mahjong tile.
Each celebrity card features two small photos of a member of the Blue Shark band, one from the front and one from the back.
One star has 2,500 copies, totaling 10,000 cassette tapes.
A singer's appeal can sometimes be really useful.
Liang Liang's call for everyone to queue up and buy the products was perfectly embodied.
There were long queues at each album sales window, all in good order.
Which star of the Blue Shark band is the most popular? You can find out by buying old cassette tapes of their star cards from fans.
The cassette tapes featuring Liang Liang and Xiao Yu as celebrities sold the fastest.
Keyboardist Wang Fan's cassette tapes sold the slowest.
Even at the slowest time, past 11 o'clock, these keychain-equipped cassettes were sold out, and those who couldn't buy them had to go and buy the plain ones.
Xiao Yu! I love you!
The men who bought the cassette tape chanted Xiao Yu's name in unison from below the stage.
The fact that there was only one woman in the Blue Shark band allowed the men to share a common goal.
The female fans, however, couldn't agree on a single opinion. As the saying goes, "different strokes for different folks," and some liked one singer while others didn't. This resulted in a chaotic mix of opinions, with some shouting that they loved Liang Liang, others that they loved Wang Fan, and still others that they liked Liu Yuyong.
Pacific Records captured the entire Blue Shark band's album launch ceremony from various angles, planning to release a stage version on CD after the DVD player is released.
The entire album launch ceremony was both enthusiastic and well-organized.
Thanks to Liang Liang's efforts, the order was quite good whether people were buying albums or watching performances; there was no chaos or stampede.
After Liang Liang sang all the songs on the album, it was 11:10 PM, and the launch ceremony ended.
Although nothing serious happened, a mess was still left behind.
Blue Shark and the band left the scene under police protection.
The album launch event was an unprecedented success, with over 10,000 cassette tapes sold on-site in just over two hours.
However, compared to the shipments from Pacific Audio-Visual Company's warehouse, this sales volume of over 10,000 boxes is insignificant.
A spectacular convoy of cars had formed in front of Pacific Audio-Visual Company's warehouse.
These convoys are all trucks from all over the country hauling goods. In fact, five days ago, trucks started coming and going from here to transport Blue Shark Band's album to all parts of the country.
As of today, hundreds of thousands of albums have been placed on shelves across the country and will be available for sale starting at 1 p.m.
Because Blue Shark's previous album sold two million copies in China, the first batch of tapes pressed by Pacific was one million. By the time of the release date, almost all of these one million tapes had been shipped.
Pacific Company then began to increase production.
After Liang Liang and his group left the stage and returned to Pacific Audio-Visual Company, they saw Huang Jiahui from Jinmeng Company.
This is the guy who went to Lianwan City last summer to check out the Mayday band. Later, it is said that he went to work on Green Island for more than half a year.
This is the first time Liangliang has seen Wong Ka-fai in more than half a year.
After exchanging pleasantries and shaking hands, Wong Ka-fai went straight to the point and asked Leung Leung if he could come to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow to attend the overseas release ceremony of the album.
Liang Liang shook his head: "Su Ennan's concert is on May 2nd, and there will be rehearsals on the 20th. The Blue Shark Band is really too busy to be in two places at the album launch in Xianggang."
Since the Blue Shark band couldn't go to Xianggang in person, it was only natural for them to film a video.
After lunch, it took an hour and a half for the Blue Shark band to record a video explaining why they couldn't attend the album launch ceremony in Xianggang in person and apologizing to their fans there.
The video team brought by Huang Jiahui combined the Blue Shark band's statement with the live footage shot in the morning to produce a one-and-a-half-hour video, which they planned to play at the premiere ceremony.
"Mr. Jin said he's going to arrange a concert for your band at the Hung Hom at the end of this year. What are your thoughts?"
"Opinion? No opinion, but something seems off. Mayday is a band signed to your company. When they hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, they should be the first to have the concert. We are not a band signed to your company. It's a bit like the host is taking the place of the host."
Huang Jiahui scratched his head: "Mr. Jin has also thought about this issue. He has prepared two plans. The second plan is for your Blue Shark Band, Mayday Band and Ocean Waves Band to hold a joint concert at Hung Hom. What do you think of this idea?"
A three-team collaboration? The three Magic Rock Heroes of the previous life held a historic concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum in late 1994.
In this lifetime, not only did the "Three Heroes of Magic Rock" not appear, but even the company "Moyan" didn't exist, so naturally there wouldn't be this concert.
Unexpectedly, this concert has now fallen to them. Although the name has changed, the meaning is the same.
Since there was such a concert in the sky, Liang Liang didn't hesitate any longer and nodded in agreement.
Huang Jiahui was overjoyed to see that Liang Liang had agreed.
"This will be a major event for our company this year, and we will definitely handle it well. There's another thing: in August and September, various radio and television stations in Hong Kong will be holding annual music awards ceremonies. Your work should have a chance of winning. Will you be attending the awards ceremony?"
The various Golden Melody Awards in Hong Kong usually begin their selection process at the end of the year, and the selected songs are all from the previous year.
Blue Shark's album "Hometown" is within the scope of the selection.
"It's hard to answer that right now. It mainly depends on whether we're available at the time. If we have something important to do, we won't attend. If we don't have anything important to do, we'll come and take a look."
No one can predict what will happen a few months from now. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too does life bring unpredictable fortune. Who knows which cloud will bring rain, or what disaster might befall us...
Pshaw! Where did this jinx go off to now?
Huang Jiahui hurriedly left with the videotape.
Liang Liang and the Blue Shark Band attended the dinner hosted by Liu Wen in his personal capacity that evening.
Only Liu Wen and members of the Blue Shark band were present at the banquet.
This year is the most glorious year for the music scene in the south. A large number of singers have emerged under the strong support of the four major audio-visual companies in Guangzhou and are known in the history of the music scene as the "1994 New Generation".
Unfortunately, this burst of popularity was short-lived, and the glory days of Guangzhou's music scene were over two years later.
Liang Liang wondered where Liu Wen went after the musical glory of Guangzhou faded.
He thought for a long time but still couldn't recall where Liu Wen went in 1996.
