Chapter 216 Su Zhi’s concert begins
"Actually, you don't have to wait until the ticket opening time to grab tickets. After all, the number of house cards released for Su Zhi's concert this time is more than 70,000."
"Generally, for a concert of this scale, it is impossible to sell out all the tickets in a short time."
……
In Fat Bird's live broadcast room, he was live broadcasting while squatting on time to grab tickets for Su Zhi's concert.
As a critical blogger, he has really started to do it.
A year or two ago, Fat Bird definitely didn't have the financial means to go to concerts of singers from other places.
Tickets plus travel expenses and accommodation, etc., the cost is definitely not low.
But now, he can even grab the most expensive yip tickets.
"Holy shit, it's gone?"
"Real or false?"
Fat Bird just clicked in and was a little stunned.
This is also a bit too fast.
However, he also quickly ordered the infield tickets, but the infield tickets were also gone.
The last thing I grabbed was the grandstand tickets for the general area.
……
"Too exaggerated."
Fat Bird thought that with the popularity of Su Zhi's concert this time, the tickets would most likely be sold.
But I didn’t expect it to sell out so quickly.
There is definitely no need to think about the minimum box ticket, and there is a high probability that it will be gone.
"Didn't get it?"
The ticket website crashed several times in a short period of time.
After waiting for less than 10 minutes, when it was restored, it was already sold out?
Looking at the three words that flooded the screen, Fat Bird also felt a little incredible.
Although this concert with more than 70,000 to 80,000 people is definitely not the largest, it is still relatively rare.
So many tickets, all sold out in just over ten minutes and less than half an hour?
Even if you take into account some scalpers who are grabbing tickets, this speed is really outrageous.
……
Even more shocked than Fat Bird was naturally Yuan Yinan's manager.
"Is this sold out?"
She glanced at Xu Kong next to her in disbelief.
Xu Kong was quite calm.
Mainly because Yuan Yinan didn't have an accurate idea of Su Zhi's enthusiasm for this concert.
The three songs in the previous album were almost all hits. This time, it was announced that the new album would be sung for the first time at the concert, which was enough to attract a large number of passers-by and netizens.
What's more, there are fans, not just Su Zhi's fans. As a concert guest whose news has been revealed, Xu Kong's fans are also willing to buy tickets.
With such high popularity, 70,000 to 80,000 tickets are actually not that difficult to sell.
……
Su Zhi's concert this time once again topped the list of hot searches because of the tickets.
Many netizens who didn't get tickets have already begun to complain.
"No, I saw that a total of more than 70,000 tickets were released. I didn't rush to grab them as soon as possible. As a result, I was more than ten minutes late and the tickets were gone?"
"I, a fan who has been squatting since the ticket was opened, stopped talking. The Internet speed was too poor. When it refreshed, all I saw was the word 'sold out'."
"Who said before that Su Zhi's concert tickets can't be sold out? That's too bad!"
……
But after all, there are enough tickets released.
Almost all netizens who came to grab tickets on time got at least one grandstand ticket.
But no one could have imagined that these more than 70,000 tickets could be sold so quickly.
In addition to various hot searches and discussions on the Internet, the fact that Su Zhi's concert tickets were sold out so quickly was a big shock to many colleagues.
In recent years, there are only a handful of singers who dare to hold such large-scale concerts.
The main reason is that in many cases, 20,000 to 30,000 tickets cannot be sold out in ten days and half a month.
Except for some who want to improve their reputation and status, few people are really willing to lose money and gain fame.
Small-scale concerts can definitely make a profit, and more than 5,000 people can be considered a large venue, so there is really no need for this.
Su Zhi set this precedent and seemed to be telling other singers that it is not that the market is not good enough, but that your own concerts are not attractive and popular enough.
……
Yuan Yinan did a preliminary calculation and found that this concert alone brought at least more than 150 million in revenue to the studio.
And this is the result of Su Zhi deliberately lowering the ticket price.
The price of the tickets this time is definitely far lower than the other party's standard as a diva.
But because the scale is large enough, the final income is still surprising.
This is after the concert organizer collected the bulk of the hosting fees and ticket revenue.
But for their studio, there was almost no one except Su Zhi who was busy rehearsing.
In fact, the return on energy spent on the concert is indeed too high.
After Su Zhi became independent from her original agency, she had been living a tight life at times.
As a result, after Xu Kong took over Su Zhi's new album, the previous royalties, plus the income from this tour, made Yuan Yinan suddenly feel like he got rich overnight.
……
"How can these two people be so calm?"
Yuan Yinan glanced at Su Zhi, who was discussing the concert process with Xu Kong, and couldn't help but whisper in her heart.
Regarding the news that the tickets were sold out, not only Xu Kong acted very calmly, but even Su Zhi didn't seem that excited.
Although Su Zhi is not very old, she has been in the industry for many years.
In terms of the number of works, it can definitely support the other party's concert for more than two hours.
In addition, Su Zhi also plans to sing two songs from the new album at the concert this time.
"Are you sure you don't want to release it all at once?"
Su Zhi still couldn't help but ask.
According to Xu Kong's plan, two songs will be sung in the first concert, and the next five songs will be released one by one in the subsequent concerts.
But what Su Zhi was thinking about this tour was whether it would be unfair to the audience at different shows if the new songs she sang were different every time.
Moreover, after singing in Beijing, whether to sing in the following concerts is indeed a question.
"You can't think like that."
"Although new songs are sung in every concert, the repertoire is different. In this regard, the audience is treated the same every time."
"On the contrary, if it is sung all at once, then wouldn't only the audience in this first public performance of the new song be able to hear it?"
Xu Kong explained casually.
But in his opinion, there is not much difference in when these songs are actually sung.
Just to ensure that Su Zhi's subsequent concerts can maintain online discussion and popularity, releasing a new song each time is the best choice.
……
In the next few days, Xu Kong basically spent most of the time at the concert venue with Su Zhi.
He also participated in the rehearsal, but there were only a few songs in total, which didn't take up too much time.
It is worth mentioning that Su Zhi's concert had quite a few colleagues who bought tickets to attend. The first person to take the initiative to post the tickets for Su Zhi's concert was the veteran singer Lu Xuan.
The other party was a judge of "Our Song" like Su Zhi, and he looked like a good guy most of the time.
Although the relationship with Su Zhi cannot be said to be very close, they were relatively harmonious and had no conflicts before.
But Lu Xuan was just the beginning. Later, many singers in the Chinese music scene also posted their tickets for Su Zhi's concert.
This made many netizens lament that this was not Su Zhi's solo concert, it was completely a team building for most of the Chinese music industry.
However, most of these colleagues bought their own tickets, except for some tickets that Su Zhi gave away out of courtesy.
The reason for this situation is nothing more than Su Zhi's new album.
The previous songs are of such high quality and popularity that it is not just ordinary netizens who are paying attention to Su Zhi's new album.
Su Zhi rarely chose to perform the first performance of a new song at a concert. Those singers who are not short of money will naturally choose to come and watch it as long as they have time.
……
Of course, in addition to the album, Xu Kong will also appear as a guest at Su Zhi's concert.
Regardless of whether the scandals in the outside world are true or false, it is no secret now that Xu Kong and Su Zhi have a good relationship.
If a ticket to the concert can give Xu Kong a better first impression, it will definitely not be a loss at all.
Don't doubt the caution of many entertainers in the entertainment industry.
Because sometimes, it is really such small details that will directly determine the success or failure of something.
And now the number of domestic singers who want Xu Kong to help them write tailor-made songs is quite terrifying.
Whether they are newcomers or singers who have begun to fade away, or who want to win awards or advance further, they are all willing to spend a lot of money to buy songs from Xu Kong.
What's more, there are some organizations such as brokerage companies, and even Xu Kong himself has received a lot of information.
There were even more people from Zhu Yu's side who helped him refuse or stop him.
……
Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the few days of rehearsals had officially ended, and it was the day of Su Zhi's concert in Beijing.
Fat Bird finally paid a high price to get an infield ticket from the scalper.
There is no way, although the grandstand tickets do not prevent you from watching, after all, there are huge real-time large screens recording the stage.
But there is still a huge difference in vision between the two.
This time he was not just a simple spectator, but also came with the purpose of recording video material.
I also comfort myself that this is considered a necessary expense for work.
"Damn it, are there too many people?"
Fat Bird looked at the spectacular scene of crowds of people at the entrance of the venue and couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder the concert organizer checked the tickets nearly two hours in advance.
In fact, the ticket checking process alone will probably take a long time.
……
Overall, despite the large number of people, there were still no problems with the process in all aspects.
This was thanks to the fact that Su Zhi Studio did not choose to save money at that time.
It was directly handed over to a large company with more experience to handle it.
Otherwise, a concert of this scale will have problems in all aspects, and it is indeed easy for things to go wrong if you are not careful.
"Rong Xiabing is here too?"
In the VIP area of the infield, Fat Bird has seen many familiar faces along the way.
I have to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that most of the Chinese music scene is here.
In addition to those singers who took the initiative to post their tickets on Weibo, there are probably more singers in the industry who are less famous and very low-key.
I really came here for team building.
Fat Bird really wanted to take the initiative to chat with these singers.
But after thinking about it in the end, I still gave in.
He has critically reviewed most of these singers.
And just now he saw several singers that he had scolded before.
Although Fat Bird was not sure whether the other party had seen his video, he really didn't dare to bet.
……
Soon, as the time came for the concert to start, Su Zhi, who was rarely dressed up, appeared on the stage.
“Stop and go along the way”
"Follow the traces of youth drifting"
And as soon as it comes up, it's the song "The Wind Rises" that everyone is very familiar with.
I have to say that for many viewers, apart from Xu Kong's "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the biggest memory this summer may be this song by Su Zhi.
Especially those students who have just graduated, it is estimated that they will not forget this new song they heard when they graduated for many years to come.
Almost without much surprise, Su Zhi's first song ushered in the chorus of the audience.
Su Zhi made a lot of preparations for this concert.
It can even be said that each song has been rehearsed quite a few times, and coupled with the frequency of private practice, the intensity is almost exaggerated.
But when the concert officially started, Su Zhi realized that she was hardly needed.
The chorus of more than 70,000 people was such a spectacular scene. Even with the use of top-notch sound equipment, Su Zhi's voice was still somewhat submerged in the chorus.
There was almost no need for her to take the initiative to hand over the microphone. The majority of the audience was able to sing along throughout the whole process.
After all, during that time in the summer, this song was the song with the most covers on almost all KTV and video platforms.
In fact, I can already memorize the lyrics completely.
……
"I feel like Su Zhi is in very good condition."
After singing the first song, Fat Bird couldn't help but comment.
Not just any singer can hold down a concert with 70,000 people.
Although Su Zhi's popularity in the past two years is even more exaggerated than when she first debuted, this is partly because Xu Kong helped Su Zhi write so many songs.
But as a diva herself, in terms of singing skills, live performance, stage performance, etc., she is also at the top level in the music industry.
More importantly, among singers under the age of thirty, Su Zhi is currently the best female singer in terms of comprehensive singing skills and live performance. There is not even a strong competitor in this aspect.
……
Next, Su Zhi began to sing familiar songs, such as "So Many People in the World" that Xu Kong had written for her, "Love Song", "Meeting" from the new album, etc.
Even some of Su Zhi's old songs from many years ago appeared.
Although the popularity may not be as high as those written by Xu Kong later, they were considered hit singles at the beginning and can be said to be familiar to everyone.
Another song ends.
Su Zhi on the stage was sweating on her forehead and panting.
I have to say that this large-scale concert, singing non-stop for more than two hours, is indeed a physical activity.
"The next song is a new song from my new album. This is the first public performance..."
Before Su Zhi finished speaking, huge cheers erupted from the scene.
Even the fat bird became excited.
He came this time, or rather a large part of the audience at this time, came here for the new song Su Zhi planned to sing at the concert.
Although I had enjoyed listening to it before, hearing the news of the new song now undoubtedly completely ignited the audience.
