There were about twenty people sitting in the best seats at Fengtai Stadium.
The most obvious characteristic of these twenty-odd people and other audience members was their relatively advanced age.
The youngest are in their thirties or forties, and the older ones look like they've all passed the age of fifty.
Unlike the other spectators who stood up waving their hands and shouting, these people sat quietly, occasionally whispering to each other.
"Great! These songs are so soothing to listen to, they make me feel young again," said an older-looking man in the center.
"Minister Li! We were right. This band is indeed different from other rock bands. Although some of their songs are about love and romance, many of them are inspirational."
"Minister Li! Have you seen the documentary about the Blue Shark band that CCTV made?"
"I watched it! It's excellent! Through the documentary, we can see that this band doesn't just have these values themselves; they've even influenced a group of local bands in Lianwan. The songs these bands sing are all healthy and uplifting, which is what we should be promoting."
"Yeah yeah!"
"I wonder if you invited this band to this year's Spring Festival Gala?"
"The band will definitely be there, but we haven't sent out invitations yet; there's still time."
“We must support bands like this. If necessary, we can allocate resources to them. We hope they can help correct the unhealthy trends in the rock scene.”
Liang Liang knew what the people sitting in that position did; some were from CCTV, others from the Publicity Department, and still others from the Culture Department.
So he sang very seriously and meticulously.
These people hold the power of discourse and life and death in the arts and culture arena. Rock and roll will develop if you gain their approval and consent.
Halfway through the performance, the Black Panther band, who had deliberately come back from Guangzhou to support the band, appeared as guests.
Black Panther is already a top-tier band in Beijing, and their appearance elevated the atmosphere at Fengtai Stadium to a whole new level.
After all, Black Panther was the band that belonged to the people of Beijing, and the cheers grew louder and louder.
The Black Panther band performed "Light of Hope" and their new song "Radiance".
Their first album sold over a million copies, and their second album is already finished and will be released before the end of the year.
This song, "Radiance," is the title track of the new album, and it's really good.
After the Black Panther Band's performance, it was Xu Mei's turn. This time, Xu Mei only played two dance pieces, "My Heart Will Go On" and "Child of the Forest".
Xu Mei's stunning appearance, skillful technique, and beautiful melody captivated the audience in the stadium, with shouts and whistles creating a deafening roar. Her performance naturally reached another climax.
Liang Liang naturally wanted to take this opportunity to promote Xu Mei and her team's upcoming album, using countless flowery words to praise it.
As the concert drew to a close, Blue Shark's famous songs flowed out one after another like a gentle stream.
"Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty", "Back to Lhasa", "Return", "Red Flag Fluttering" and finally the last song "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart".
"Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" is the final piece.
After the song ended, the cheers lasted for a long time.
The entire stadium went wild, and even the special guests were infected and stood up, seemingly rejuvenated.
"Fellow citizens of Beijing, brothers and sisters, even the most sumptuous feast must come to an end, and even the most beautiful moments will eventually become memories. The Blue Shark Band's performance has come to an end. I hope you all have sweet dreams tonight. Good night!"
The audience left reluctantly.
To Liang Liang's surprise, that group of special guests actually came to the backstage area for an inspection.
Liang Liang, along with all members of the Blue Shark band, accepted the reception from this group of special guests.
After shaking hands with Liang Liang, the vice minister surnamed Li held onto Liang Liang's hand tightly.
"Blue Shark's songs are uplifting and inspiring. This is the kind of rock music that the country and society need. I hope you can continue your efforts and create more and better inspiring songs."
"Thank you for your concern, leaders. We will certainly live up to the country's expectations, serve the people wholeheartedly, and create more and better pieces that meet the needs of society."
Liang Liang spoke these kinds of words without any psychological burden.
Liang Liang personally saw these leaders off to their cars.
"Xiao Liang! There's something I don't know if I should tell you?" Han Chui, who usually speaks without thinking, was acting strangely today, speaking hesitantly.
"What is it? Speak!"
Two women want to invite you to dinner!
"Two women want to treat me to dinner?"
"Yes! They were two women in their thirties who invited you to dinner together."
Holy crap! Am I being targeted? And by two people at that? Are they planning to play dirty tricks on me?
This kind of thing is very normal in the entertainment industry. It's normal for an artist to be noticed. Women have men who are interested in them, and men naturally have women who are interested in them.
Sometimes eating is just an excuse; it's perfectly normal to roll around in bed after eating.
It's just that such things were less frequent before the crime of hooliganism was abolished. After it was abolished, hotels opened up their services, and such things started happening every day.
"Cancel it! Just say you don't have time. There's something else you need to do. The band is going to have a last-minute performance at Green Garden Bar tomorrow night. Tell Yan Su about it."
Liang Liang wasn't one to feel indebted to others, so he naturally had to reciprocate Yan Su's help.
Sending someone to deliver a little money wouldn't be a bad idea, but it seems a bit cliché.
Performing at Green Garden Bar would not only repay a favor but also build connections, which would surely make Yan Su very happy.
Liang Liang's guess was absolutely correct. When Yan Su heard Han Chui say that the Blue Shark band would be performing for free at his Green Garden Bar that night, his brain immediately went blank.
Then he jumped out from behind the desk and ran around the room twice.
He knew perfectly well why the Blue Shark Band was performing at his bar, and he was also well aware of the consequences of their concert.
As one of the top-tier bands in China, the arrival of Blue Shark will significantly boost the reputation of Green Source Bar. Even if it doesn't become the most well-known bar in Beijing, it will undoubtedly be among the top three in terms of popularity.
Han Chui came to see Yan Su around noon, and Yan Su spent the whole afternoon in a state of excitement.
He was excited, but the waiters suffered. He immediately launched a thorough cleaning, which exhausted the waiters.
But when they learned that the Blue Shark band would be performing at their bar that night, all their fatigue vanished instantly, and they were all beaming with joy.
