These foreigners planned to observe from the sidelines and see if there was anything they could learn.
But what puzzled them was that it was still the same band, with a few more members, but why was the style different from before?
On stage at this moment was a hybrid of Blue Shark and Yinna River Band, playing the song "Gongs and Drums," a song with a strong oriental style, which was certainly different from what one would expect.
The Asians just now were singing authentic rock, but this song doesn't feel like rock at all.
If you let foreigners listen to this kind of folk music style song, everyone in the country would be dumbfounded.
However, the melody is very cheerful, sweeping away the half-dead style of the Chinese rock scene that resembles a funeral.
Because the melody of the song "Gongs and Drums" is fast and has a strong rhythm, the foreigners couldn't help but sway their bodies.
Most of the foreigners here were hearing this style of music for the first time, and the novelty made them nod and sway their heads as they listened.
Especially when the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) plays, many foreigners widen their eyes, open their mouths, and spread their hands, making exaggerated expressions.
I reckon the sound of "wow" will fill the sky like birdsong.
The premise is that foreigners also say "wow" (or "damn").
Hmm~ Let's all sing together!
Sing a happy song, ee-ya-ee-yo
The moon smiles crescent in the song
The Sun Rises (as sung)
Let's all sing "ya yi ya yi yo" together!
Sing a happy disco song, ya yi ya yi yo
The song made the sea and sky blue.
The vast earth seemed to laugh heartily at the song…
The lead singer was naturally delighted. He had sung this song many times and knew it very well, so it was only natural that he would sing it.
This was the first time this song had been rehearsed abroad, and Liang Liang was very satisfied with the rehearsal results. Even the foreigners applauded!
The next song was "Harvest," and the lead singer was naturally happy.
When Gao Xing started singing again, the foreigners began to discuss a question.
Who is the lead singer in this band?
The bassist who was performing that death metal song just now is now a middle-aged man.
Does this band have two lead singers?
Before they could even figure out how many lead singers they had ever seen before, their attention had already shifted to instruments they had never seen before.
The pipa, guzheng, Chinese drum, and suona—these oriental musical instruments all piqued their interest.
Some musicians are already designing how to incorporate these Eastern instruments into their band's songs.
After rehearsing these two songs, the Blue Shark Band gave up the rehearsal space to Xu Wei.
There's simply not enough time and enough bands in the world to go around.
Each band can only take turns performing a few songs.
This won't do.
There are still three days until the performance. At this rate, they won't even be able to finish the dress rehearsal.
After Liang Liang finished playing, he called Hannah and Mia over and instructed them to find another venue for them as soon as possible.
We shouldn't have hesitated yesterday. Even if it's five or six thousand yuan a day, it would only amount to twenty thousand yuan in four days.
Why didn't you factor this in back then? Are you out of your mind?!
Hannah and Mia immediately went out to take care of this matter.
Just as the two women left, a group of long-haired foreigners came up to Liang Liang and started talking and gesturing in a string of gibberish.
"Did you hear that? The foreigner spoke so vividly and beautifully, but unfortunately, I didn't understand a single word."
Liang Liang's words drew a burst of laughter.
These damn foreigners! They didn't talk when Hannah and Mia were here, but after they left, they came over and started spouting nonsense.
Liang Liang made an incomprehensible gesture near her ear.
Several foreigners clearly recognized the problem as well. After a few chirps, their guitarist strummed a few melodies similar to the death metal tune that the Blue Shark band had just played.
Liang Liang understood; the foreigners wanted to discuss things with them.
But it was all in vain; without a translator, the duck couldn't communicate at all.
Because they had met a couple of days prior, Hannah and Mia quickly rented a fairly professional rehearsal room in Berlin.
It took just over an hour for the two women and Han Chui to return.
With these two women back, the translation problem was solved.
When Liang Liang heard from Hannah that the four or five guys in front of him were pumpkin shreds, he experienced a three-second mental breakdown.
Isn't this just a coincidence that I peed? And I even ran into the person in question.
Fortunately, the music he copied was their work from ten years later; otherwise, these white people would have sued him in court.
Pumpkin and Shredded Pork wanted to discuss with Liang Liang the death rock song they had just played, meaning they wanted to buy the song.
This left Liang Liang bewildered; someone was willing to pay ten years in advance to buy his song.
After a period of confusion, Liang Liang immediately offered 100,000 marks.
At this point, the knife naturally needs to be sharpened. Germans are all rich, and it would be a disservice to our ancestors not to rip them off.
One hundred thousand marks probably wouldn't be much to them.
Pumpkin and shredded pork naturally felt a bit expensive at 100,000 marks, implying that a discount or something was needed.
Foreigners have learned how to bargain so quickly?
"Tell them that the 100,000 marks are the minimum, but I will give them an extra poem as a gift."
Back in China, they rehearsed two pieces to prepare for some trouble.
But they solved the problem with one song, so they didn't have to perform the other one.
It seems like a good deal to spend 100,000 marks on two songs no matter how you look at it.
That's over 400,000 RMB.
Pumpkin and Shredded Pork were probably worried that Liang Liang would just throw together any song to fool them, so they suggested listening to another song.
These foreigners aren't all stupid!
So, the Blue Shark band went back on stage and performed another song.
This piece, whose name Liang Liang also forgot, uses the lead guitar to create a desolate and distorted atmosphere and a deep sense of fear.
Before the piece was even finished, Pumpkin and Shredded Pork had already decided on the tune and then went back to raise the money.
These two pieces of music were like a small knife plunged into their hearts, leaving them no choice but to bleed.
The West is indeed ahead in terms of copyright awareness, which is a good thing.
Having unexpectedly found 400,000 yuan, Liang Liang couldn't help but marvel at his good fortune.
The two European Cup matches that night went exactly as Liang Liang had predicted, with scores exactly matching his expectations.
As a seasoned football fan, besides songs, the information Liang Liang remembers most is probably football.
He first watched football at the 1990 World Cup, and Maradona's tears sparked his interest in the sport.
His passion for football peaked when the professional leagues began in China in 1994, but it continued to decline after 2002, and by 2005 he had basically stopped caring about football altogether.
Therefore, he knew the World Cup and European Championship before the 2002 World Cup like the back of his hand.
From then on, he was completely clueless about football.
Forget the World Cup, he doesn't even know who the champion of a domestic face-off is.
