"Gu Yi, what if our concert tickets can't be sold?" Zhou Le asked Gu Yi this day.
As the captain, he is really worried. Although he has great ambitions as mentioned before, selling tickets is a very real problem, especially since they have only been to a few variety shows and music festivals in China.
And this time it was opened for the first time in the Bird's Nest.
With more than 60,000 tickets, if the seats are full, you will definitely make money, but if the seats are not full, you will lose money.
There was also a musician named Huang who held a concert in the Bird's Nest before. He was not that famous before. As a result, he was selling tickets for 20 to 30 yuan and even bought tickets for the venue. In the end, there was really no seating capacity inside. The staff So I had to go to the street to attract people, and anyone who was willing could go in and see it without spending any money.
I spent a lot of money to hold a concert at the Bird's Nest, but in the end not only did I not get back my money, I even repaid a lot of it.
Although it is said to the outside world that it is to realize a dream, if possible, who wouldn't want to perform to a packed house and be wildly sought after by fans?
So Zhou Le is still a little worried.
But before Gu Yi could answer, Jia Zhe said from the side: "Brother Le, I think you are careless, our band has been to the Super Bowl, it was the Super Bowl, the American Spring Festival Gala, and the American Gu Yi has been to both the Spring Festival Gala and the domestic Spring Festival Gala. If nothing else, Gu Yi just sells tickets and sings, and doesn't have to worry about selling them outside.
What's more, Brother Le, you have been popular before. At that time, you were considered the top in the rock circle. Even if Brother Le, you held your own concert, you wouldn't worry about selling tickets. Sister Xue is also very powerful now. It is said on the Internet If Yu Xue develops abroad and adds those songs, she can be promoted to an international first-line singer. Now the rankings of the songs sung by Gu Yi on YouTube are not as high as those sung by Sister Xue, even if she herself Even if you have a concert, it will definitely be sold out in seconds. "
But Zhu Yanfang heard this and asked, "What about me, Brother Zhe?"
"You can sell it in another place. The Bird's Nest is pretty good, and the Worker's Stadium should be about the same."
Zhu Yanfang also smiled happily: "What about you?"
"I can't do it. If I could respond to everything in our village, it would be almost useless here."
Zhou Le laughed at these words: "It's okay, I'm just worrying about it, but considering the time, we should announce the ticketing information today."
"Yeah, let's see how many people make reservations first. If there are hundreds of thousands, it will basically be fine." Yu Xue said, "But let's continue practicing singing today?"
Gu Yi thought for a moment: "How about we go check out the venue? After all, it is also the place where we will have a concert in the future."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and Zhou Le said, "Then I'll contact the organizer."
After about half an hour, they packed up and set off.
They came to the organizer first, and then the organizer sent someone to take them to the Bird's Nest.
"Teachers, this time we will release a total of 60,000 tickets and divide them into three times. This will also prevent some fans from forgetting the time and not watching the concert."
Zhou Le nodded: "Yes, but can we really put 60,000 pieces in three times?"
Staff: "Of course, there will definitely be some free tickets, such as public security, transportation, fire protection, industry and commerce, taxation, security companies at the concert, some media and some partners, including several teachers who are definitely in need of free tickets. Send some friends or family as well.”
Zhou Le: "Well, these are normal, so what is the ratio of complimentary tickets here?"
Staff: "About 35%, which covers various locations and corresponds to different fares. Although it sounds high, after all, this is in the Yanjing area, and there is nothing we can do about it. If several people When teachers hold concerts in other cities, the proportion of free tickets is between 10 and 20 percent."
But Gu Yi thought about it after hearing this.
This ratio is indeed very high.
There are 60,000 tickets, and there are more than 20,000 free tickets alone.
More than a third.
But generally in this case, there will definitely be a lot of votes given to scalpers.
This is what they don't want to see.
However, it is impossible to completely eliminate scalpers from any concert.
Even if the real name is strong and the facial recognition is used, it will be authenticated.
"This ratio is too high. It won't work. It needs to be controlled within 30%. I know this is Yanjing, but within 30% is enough to give away. It doesn't matter even if the remaining tickets can't be sold."
Gu Yi said.
"Also, are there any real names required to enter this concert?"
"This is possible, but if real-name enforcement is required, more security will be required, including gate equipment that also needs to enable facial recognition."
"Well, open this too." Gu Yi said.
In this way, they chatted about various details along the way. After arriving at the scene, Gu Yi and the others, led by the staff, went to the place where the stage was to be set up to take a look.
The three-sided table is quite spectacular at first glance, especially the densely packed seats around it.
In ancient times, an army of 100,000 people was already huge. Although most of them were just so-called, if each of these 60,000 people occupied half a meter of distance from the back of the previous person and lined up in a long snake formation, That's thirty kilometers. If two people are side by side, it's fifteen kilometers.
However, they had already seen a stadium with more than 100,000 people in Los Angeles, so they weren't that shocked when they saw it here. They were just a little nervous about having their first concert in China.
"By the way, the tickets we sell here don't include seats behind the pillars, right? Don't let anyone post them online then. If there are, it's still too late to cancel."
"No, don't worry."
The staff felt a little nervous when they heard this, because they had not considered this aspect before.
But even so, it still has to be said that there are no pillar tickets at this meeting.
We can only wait until we get back to check again.
People who buy tickets online will have personal information in the QR code on the ticket. After receiving the complimentary tickets, people need to scan the code to register their information.
Then enter with your ticket.
Although they all know that some of these free tickets will definitely flow into the hands of scalpers, there is nothing they can do about it.
After all, the organizer is someone else.
And the free tickets must be given out. This is all about relationships and unspoken rules.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult for others to find someone at will and get stuck in terms of fire protection and safety.
In this way, there will definitely be many people who get the free tickets and then sell them to other people.
After viewing the venue they returned to the studio.
As the organizers began to announce that they would start booking tickets for [New Bee Band]'s first domestic concert at the end of April, the studio also carried out publicity.
In addition, it was also said that this concert would use strong real names.
Tickets are not transferable, and refund channels will be closed three days before the opening. Fans are also urged not to buy scalped tickets. As a singer, even if the tickets cannot be sold, the seats will be empty and fans will not be willing to pay high prices to come in. See a concert.
At the same time, he also said that the first concert will be made into a video and released online.
"Resolutely resist scalpers. I would rather watch the video than let scalpers make money."
"But I still want to see it. If the scalper's price increase is not high, I think I can afford it."
"Okay, when the time comes, I will mobilize everyone around me to help me grab it."
"The first game should be easier to grab, right?"
"I hope I can get tickets by then."
The response from fans is still very good, and they are also urged to hold more shows, preferably in their cities.
However, New Bee's concert this year is only scheduled for this one for the time being, and it will be held for three consecutive days, and the subsequent performance time is uncertain.
But for the first concert, they planned to invite Xiang Feng as a guest.
The second game Ouyang Xia.
The third rice cracker.
These three are all old acquaintances, and the market response is there.
And they were all prepared to lose money.
Anyway, we have been working as a band for two years, and we have made a lot of money from performances and variety shows.
If the loss is small, everyone will share it equally. If the loss is large, Gu Yi will pay more.
But if we can really make it without losing money, we can consider opening more shows in the future when everyone has free time.
However, all aspects of the concert have been basically settled, and Sun Yan has also passed the interview.
Although Sun Yan's company obstructed him in every possible way during the process and wanted to cause some trouble for Sun Yan, Sun Yan was determined to leave the company, so he ignored it at all.
But even so, the group Sun Yan was in before will have another group concert soon.
The location is set in Xi'an.
Although Sun Yan is a little confused now, the group he was in before was quite famous. He debuted in the group when he was a teenager, and since then he has gained a lot of fans from his sister and mother.
Therefore, if Sun Yan wants to gain popularity from the public in the future, he must go to this concert.
Compared with the New Bee concert, that concert was more popular.
Everyone is asking for tickets online. The number of people who clicked "I want to see" the tickets on the New Bee ticket website is more than 800,000, but the number of people who clicked "I want to see" for Sun Yan's Superboys concert was directly To 1.5 million.
This is a quite exaggerated number. If nothing else, no singer has been able to reach this amount in the past five years.
However, Sun Yan also received a lot of scolding for this.
After all, the other two have developed very well in the past few years. One of them has released a lot of songs in the field of singers. Although they are also popular idol songs, few people except fans listen to them, but who makes fans loyal? Woolen cloth?
There is another who focuses on movies and occasionally engages in variety shows as a side job.
I participated in a hip-hop variety show, and the ratings online were also very good.
Only Sun Yan died halfway when he was trying to reach the top, and now he is relegated to the second line.
Therefore, those fans felt that Sun Yan was holding back the other two younger brothers.
But Sun Yan doesn't care about that now.
He is very confident that he will take the civil service examination. From now on, he will be a well-established person. All he needs to do is do his job well. As for this concert, he will treat it as a farewell.
Therefore, Sun Yan also invited many friends.
His former classmates at Yanying, as well as some friends he met later, as well as Wang Siqin and all the members of the New Bee Band, whom he has always liked.
Sun Yan's concert will be on June 5th.
It's been a week since the new bees.
So the people from New Bee planned to go there and have a look, not for anything else but to support Sun Yan.
"Xiaoxue, do you have time here tomorrow?"
"What's wrong, does grandma need an operation?"
"Yes, I plan to go over there tomorrow and take a look. There will definitely be a lot of things going on by then."
"Then I'll go with you. If the doctor orders anything, I can help out."
"Okay, let's go there together tomorrow."
The next day, Gu Yi and Yu Xue went to the hospital.
Grandma was already ready in the morning. Seeing the children's worried but pretending to be calm, grandma seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.
Because during the period of hospitalization, the nurse came over every day to chat with grandma, and told many examples of people who had their knees replaced and recovered well, and now live a happy life in their later years.
So now she is also full of confidence in the operation.
Uncle San signed the power of attorney, consent form for surgery, and consent form for self-payment. The nurse also asked the patient if he had eaten, drank, and used the toilet.
Not long after, the nurse from the operating room wheeled the bed into the ward.
After Gu Yi and his third uncle moved grandma to the bed, they pushed the bed and followed the nurse towards the building where the operating room was located.
"Okay, the family members will wait outside."
Watching grandma being pushed into the operating room.
They also started waiting outside.
There was still a queue in the operating room. They didn't sit and wait until grandma's name on the big screen changed to "Under Surgery".
The third uncle and the third aunt kept asking Gu Yi when the operation would be completed and whether the operation would go smoothly.
Gu Yi had no choice but to comfort the two of them, saying that this was a hospital in Yanjing and the surgeons were experts, so there would be no problem.
In this way, several hours passed.
Suddenly grandma's name was called from inside, and they hurried over.
The doctor said that the operation was successful, but it would be a little painful at first. After all, after the operation, he stayed in the hospital for a while and received infusions, and then he could go home and recuperate.
Not long after, grandma was pushed out.
At this moment, grandma was still awake from the anesthesia. After returning to the ward, grandma opened her eyes, but there was no emotion in her eyes. She just kept mumbling "Why can't I feel my legs?" and "The operation is done." "," "I'm causing you trouble," "Erdan is a good boy," "I really want Xiaoxue to be my granddaughter-in-law," and the like.
Gu Yi felt funny and distressed at the same time.
"Grandma, the operation is over. The doctor said it was a success. We won't have any trouble."
But grandma nodded, not sure if she heard it.
"Okay, grandma, stop talking. You can take a rest first."
Grandma closed her eyes obediently.
And the third aunt also started to greet grandma.
Gu Yi listened to the nurse's instructions on when he could eat, when he could drink water, when he could sleep on the pillow, what to do if he went to the toilet, what to do if he felt dizzy, etc.
Then Gu Yi wrote all these contents in a memo and sent it to his third uncle.
On this day, Gu Yi and Yu Xue stayed here with their grandma, and did not return home until evening.
They went again the next morning, and grandma was completely awake by this time.
"Grandma, how are you?"
"My legs hurt."
Grandma said pitifully.
"Grandma, it's normal for your legs to hurt. It won't hurt in a few days. Now that your knee has been replaced, there's no need to rush to the ground."
"Well, will I be able to walk now that I'm rested?"
"Yes, after you have a good rest, you can walk as fast as you can."
"Okay, then I'll have a good rest, Erdan, Xiaoxue, if you have anything to do, just go and do it, don't worry about me, there are still your uncle and aunt here."
"Well, grandma, it's okay. I'll stay with you again."
On this day, they stayed until noon before leaving.
There was no big problem with grandma, so Gu Yi returned to the studio again and devoted himself to rehearsals.
The only things left in the first half of this year are concerts.
So everyone else also took on some variety shows in the second half of the year.
Jia Zhe and Zhu Yanfang received a contract with Ding Liang to film "Let's Farm" in the second half of the year. Now that "Let's Farm" has been filmed in its sixth season, Ding Liang also wants to create some emotions.
Zhou Le is a music festival and some music variety shows, and there is also a "Sprint Bro".
Yu Xue took on two lifestyle variety shows.
One is an old variety show starring Huang Dong and Wei Qian, and the other is a restaurant-type variety show.
Yu Xue is a regular guest this season.
Therefore, during the break, Gu Yi also told them how to film these programs well.
"Brother Le, I won't say much about the music variety show. This is your strength. The main thing is sprinting. First of all, it is to gain popularity from the public. Secondly, many games can be used to make fun. For example, I opened the lock that time. , and then got into a classroom and stayed there all afternoon, and even carried Brother Lu on his back, so you can come out in an interesting way."
"Brother Zhe, Lao Zhu, Farming. This can be said to be the place where my dream began. After joining Farming, the gears of my destiny began to turn. Director Ding Liang will definitely give you problems when the time comes. Anyway, you will have more Think of some ways to make money.
I have actually thought of a few things for you. In the village, you should quickly establish good relationships with other people, and then go to express delivery stations and community group purchases. This can also increase your personal business value and transfer it to the village relations after the show is finished. Just the better villagers will do. In addition, you can also outsource the animals you raise and the land you plant on, and find people to claim and adopt them. When the show is finished, you can sell them directly to them. In this way, the main focus will be a cultivation attribute. .
If there is anything you can learn, just learn it. There is no harm in learning it anyway. Be careful when working, pay attention to your own safety, and don't get hurt. "
As for Yu Xue, Gu Yi planned to teach it slowly after returning.
During this period, many people approached Gu Yi and wanted to invite him to film, some in the second half of the year and some next year.
But Gu Yi pushed it forward. Firstly, there was no good script, and secondly, Gu Yi had no time in the second half of this year or next year.
I will be filming "Spider-Man" in the second half of this year, and I can also hold a concert if I have time.
Next year, he agreed to film with Song Jingchen. This was in exchange for letting him ask for songs for Zhou Le. Fortunately, after reading the script, he found that the script was not bad, so it was not a loss for him.
As for what the film will look like when the time comes, it all depends on the director.
However, after practicing singing in the studio that day, Gu Yi and Yu Xue drove to the hospital to see their grandma, and then returned home. When Gu Yi was preparing to answer questions live, Yu Xue suddenly asked.
"Gu Yi, are you taking on another movie next year?"
"Ah? Are you saying that the producer is Mr. Song?"
"No, his one was agreed before. I mean the one in Wangong. They have officially announced that you will play the leading role. I heard that it is a big IP, an adaptation of a very popular one. I heard that that I wrote it for two years and made tens of millions."
Gu Yi did know that some powerful people could make tens of millions a year, and some could even make hundreds of millions.
"But who is this Wangong? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
Gu Yi was a little puzzled.
Could this be caused by netizens?
It is true that many book fans like to find actors for film and television works. Although the crew basically cannot use them, it cannot stop the readers' enthusiasm.
In particular, Gu Yi still remembers Master Yuan Tian. Readers can ask whoever plays the other roles, but Master Yuan Tian must be played by the author himself.
Because this character's old age is unknown, his body is covered with red hair.
"It's not a complete job. You see, it's been officially announced and certified."
Gu Yi: "???"
“But I’ve never heard of this Wangong.”
Gu Yi looked at it and found that the statement seemed indeed true.
And it’s still written that Gu Yi, An Jie and Shi Li will star.
After thinking for a while, Gu Yi sent Shi Li another WeChat message and asked: "Sister, I want to ask if you want to play the role of Immortal Immortal."
It didn't take long for the other person to come back and say, "Yes, heroine, aren't you the male protagonist?"
Gu Yi: "No, sister, they haven't even talked to me."
Shi Li: "What? Then I see that they have already announced the lead. I originally wanted to ask you, but I didn't expect you asked me first. If they announced the starring role without telling you, then I would have to consider it. Considered."
"No really. I only found out about it today. If Xiaoxue hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known I was going to act in such a TV series."
"Then you can ask again to see if your company or agent has told them."
"OK."
Shi Li: "Let me tell you, how can you play the male lead in this drama? There are many emotional scenes between the male lead and the female lead."
"I really don't know. I'll ask my agent."
So Gu Yi talked to Song Fuxing again.
As a result, I was on a call when I called.
But not long after hanging up, Song Fuxing's call came in.
"Gu Yi, I have something to ask you. I couldn't get through to you when I called you just now."
"Brother Song, I was calling you just now."
Song Fuxing: "Oh, then we may be talking about the same thing, is it the immortal?"
Gu Yi: "Yes."
"Did you talk to them?"
"Brother Song, I don't know anyone. Why would I sign a contract with them? But I asked Shili before and she was definitely going to star. I thought you signed it for me."
"It's not me. Alas, I didn't expect that such a problem would arise at this time. I'll ask the studio to issue a clarification first, and then contact Director Wan. Isn't this nonsense?" (End of Chapter)
