Chapter 125 Preparing for the "Rock & Roast" Competition

With the rise of bands like New Pants and Hedgehog, "The Big Band" has become increasingly popular.

Many young people have moved from online to offline music festivals, which have become increasingly popular.

The bands that participated in the recording also gained a lot of exposure and numerous business opportunities.

Especially outstanding bands like New Pants, Hedgehog, and Five People.

Their Weibo followers began to increase significantly. The Five People Band quickly became popular with their casual and humorous style, wearing flip-flops during the competition, and changing songs on the spot. Related topics also topped the trending searches many times.

The flip-flops worn by the band Wutiaoren are selling like hotcakes!

With the rise of the band Wutiaoren, their theme song "Azhen Fell in Love with Aqiang," originally featured in the Chinese animated series "Scissor Seven," also became a viral hit online.

The song's catchy melody, retro vibe, and simple, direct lyrics have made it a favorite among many.

The popularity of their hit song brought more attention to the talented band Wutiaoren, which in turn led to a surge in interest in "The Big Band." This positive cycle has resulted in "The Big Band" gaining increasing popularity and critical acclaim over time.

The surge in fame and income of these bands has also made more music institutions and independent musicians realize the influence of "The Big Band".

Many underground bands have started leaving the show, hoping to participate in the recording of the next season.

Many veteran bands, those who are practically on their deathbeds and have little public attention, have also come to get in touch with them.

After watching "The Big Band," they were genuinely moved by the sincerity of the show's production team, in addition to the fame and fortune.

This show is not just a simple competitive music program; it truly showcases band culture and brings niche band culture to a wider audience.

After these bands gained mainstream popularity, the entire band industry received a lot of attention from young people. Offline music festivals, livehouses, and other formats provided more underground bands with performance stages and paying audiences.

Although these bands are aloof, it is unrealistic to pursue dreams without a material foundation. This time, "The Big Band" has shaken up the entire industry ecosystem, attracting a large number of audiences and young people, and bringing a lot of commercial performance opportunities.

With the influx of real money, these bands were able to generate income, allowing them to create more creatively and have more time to train, rehearse, and produce new works.

Compared to before, when many bands had to work part-time or temporarily leave to make a living, the overall band ecosystem has improved by a huge margin.

This earned the Tanglou team high praise and admiration from musicians throughout the band industry.

After witnessing how Tang Lou revitalized the band industry, the team from "Roast Conference," led by Li Dan and Wang Jianguo, also approached Tang Lou.

After collaborating on "Roast Conference", Li Dan, Wang Jianguo and others have achieved great success, especially Li Dan, who not only appeared on "Roast Conference" but also on "The Big Band", gaining a lot of exposure.

Tang Lou highly regards Li Dan's abilities.

Upon seeing Li Dan and the others enter, Tang Lou put down his work and looked at them sternly.

Although Tang Lou is very young, he has already gained great prestige and influence in KuMiao. Therefore, although Li Dan and his friends are cynical, they are still very serious and respectful in front of Tang Lou, who is their mentor and investor.

"Mr. Tang, I also participated in 'The Big Band' as a guest this time. With your brilliant planning and the efforts of our Coolcat platform, the niche culture of bands has become this year's hit."

"You know, we're willing to start a business with you and create 'Roast!' together, in addition to this series of shows. We've always had an ideal and aspiration."

"That's to contribute to the domestic stand-up comedy industry. Now, a few of us have made some money, but many of our peers are still struggling in small offline theaters, where they often don't even have many audience members."

"Many of my friends still earn money through their regular jobs, and they still have the opportunity to do stand-up comedy after get off work. Our industry is even worse and more difficult than these bands."

"We've always had this idea: to create a show for our stand-up comedy industry, to raise our industry's profile, attract more capital, and expand the market for stand-up comedy."

"One problem is that our skills are still a bit lacking, and the other is that we lack financial support. Seeing the success of 'The Big Band' has rekindled those old ideas in our minds."

"So we were thinking, could our team work together to create a variety show similar to 'The Big Band' to invite more stand-up comedy talents and increase their popularity online?"

Li Dan and Wang Jianguo looked at Tang Lou expectantly. They were well aware that "Roast Conference" was currently very successful and everyone's workload was very heavy.

If they were to create another variety show in the stand-up comedy industry, it would require a lot of effort and a large sum of money. Therefore, they were somewhat worried that Tang Lou might not agree to their request this time.

Wang Jianguo, a tall, simple-minded man from Northeast China, added, "President Tang, we can work overtime to develop this new program together."

"We will invite our industry peers, and we guarantee that many of them are at a level where their abilities are no less than ours."

"At that time, Cheng Lu and I will be responsible for writing all the contestants' scripts to ensure that their jokes are good enough for online performances."

Wang Jianguo and Cheng Lu are confident in their screenwriting abilities.

Cheng Lu, the short girl, echoed this sentiment from the side:

"As long as you agree to produce this show, I can be at the company 24 hours a day."

For the sake of his work and career, Cheng Lu was ruthless enough to leave his wife, Siwen, alone at home.

To increase his persuasiveness, Li Dan added another factor:

"Mr. Tang, if you're worried about the project's risks, Brother Wang has told us that he's willing to contribute part of the funding."

Wang Zijian had just recovered from his divorce and was taking a trip to relax. Before leaving, he gave Li Dan some instructions.

He had some savings after working for so many years, but his ex-wife had swindled him out of it. He only got it back with the help of Tang Lou.

He also has a deep affection for the stand-up comedy industry, so this time he prepared to invest and support it without hesitation.

Tang Lou smiled slightly at the request of this group of people.

This was originally one of his next plans, but he didn't expect that this group of people had also thought of the previous one.
