Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636

Hugo was a little surprised, firstly because he still didn’t know enough about the American touring market, and secondly because Michael Jackson held an unattainable height in his heart, and “Historical Journey” was even more important in music history. most successful tour ever. Therefore, AEG Group offered a signing bonus of 10 million U.S. dollars for the "Journey to History", which became Hugo's measurement standard. Now, Glory to Death's worth even surpassed that of Michael, and Hugo was inevitably a little surprised.

But after all, Hugo is now experienced and well-informed. There are many reasons why the signing bonus of "Journey to History" is only 10 million.

The most important reason is that Michael only engaged in prostitution a year ago. After recovering from Tong’s case, the new album’s performance is good, but it’s not as good as it was at its peak, and this tour took two years, and there are too many uncertain factors, so in the end AEG Group and Michael reached a cooperation amount "Just" $10 million -- a new record for a signing to date for a single tour.

Now the position of glory to death is different. The power of the battle of the century is enough to make people deeply feel the majestic momentum of the band. Everyone knows that this band is rewriting the history of rock and roll, and is also rewriting The history of music, and the storm that this tour can cause may also change history. Looking at the upsurge in various countries after the news of the tour was announced, you can guess one or two.

Not to mention Glory to Death owns Hugo. Although inside the band and inside the young volcano, everyone regards the band as a whole; but for the touring company, Hugo is an independent individual, and there are infinite potentials in this hottest top superstar today. There are endless business opportunities, and the glory of "Independence Day" is reminding people of this all the time.

Therefore, both the AEG Group and the on-site country have come up with housekeeping skills.

Hugo has seen the proposals of two top companies, and to be precise, each has its own merits. AEG Group has not only created history in terms of signing money, but also has unrivaled venue reserves. They can provide the top stage for Glory to Death. Judging from the preliminary plan, there are many venues with 100,000 people. The appeal of death has absolute confidence.

On-site Nation also mobilized almost all of its own resources, not only doing its best in terms of venues, but also formulating a detailed tour plan, including logistics mobilization and preparations, which fully demonstrated their professional advantages.

"What does the on-site country say about combining the album promotion? I don't think it's mentioned in detail in the plan." After a brief surprise, Hugo withdrew his attention and asked a question.

Henry was not surprised by Hugo's question at all, and he glanced at Joseph, as if to say: Look, I knew Hugo would definitely ask about this, then Henry adjusted his sitting posture and straightened his cartilage back slightly , "They don't have a clear plan at the moment. I talked to them. They mean that if you choose to cooperate with the live country, they are willing to have a detailed discussion with the band members. They think that this tour can be compared with Your third album combines to create an audio-visual feast in an outdoor studio."

Although Henry knew that the on-site country was professional enough, he was quite surprised. At present, the inside story of the third series of Glory to Death is completely confidential, but the action of recording across the highway in the first half of the year from Glory to Death was not secretive. If you want to inquire , is not a secret. The country at the scene inquired about this news, and formulated a corresponding plan based on this idea.

It has to be said that Live Kingdom is bound to win the Glory to Death tour project.

Sure enough, the country at the scene accurately grasped Hugo's psychology. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said curiously, "I haven't thought about it."

"They're actually going to combine this tour with your third album, say the first stage is 'Young Volcano', open with this single, and then start with 'Kill. Your. Heroes' ' as a closing; then the second stage is 'Wonderwall', which opens with 'Wonderwall' and ends with 'Don't. look. Back. In.anger'; the third stage is 'Beautiful. Day'... that's about it, but it's just their idea, they want to combine with the tracks of the third album, for example, open with the new single of the third album or as an encore Tracks, and then match the singles of the previous two albums, formulate a theme for each stage, and then connect the whole tour together, as if... "

"It's like the journey of our music." Hugo took Henry's words and said directly, which made Henry pause, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's like the journey of glory to death It’s the same musical journey as the past.”

It is really hard work for Scene Country to formulate a tour plan to such a detailed stage. It can be seen that they not only made careful arrangements for this tour, but also conducted in-depth research on the band's performances, albums, and music. This sincerity alone is enough to make people look sideways.

The live country plan directly hit the essence of Glory to Death, and personally created a tour plan, which almost gave Hugo no reason to refuse.

Hugo showed surprise on his face, but the thin layer of joy protruding from his eyes couldn't hide it, but he still didn't make a decision immediately, but asked, "In the plan of AEG Group, I saw several A large venue, they also said they plan to turn Madison Square Garden into a venue with a capacity of 100,000 people, is there no problem with the attendance?"

Henry knew that Hugo was actually very satisfied with the on-site country, but he still asked about the situation of AEG out of politeness, which made Henry smile, "You have been in this circle for a long time, and you have begun to learn It’s a slippery one.” That sentence made Hugo chuckle and didn’t seem to mind at all, but Henry still explained, “Yes, the title of the AEG Group’s project plan is: The Tour Concert with the Most Mobilized People in History.”

This is a huge project!

"They intend to hold a tour in the largest venues in each country, and other cities will be selected according to the situation-of course, they will also choose the largest venues in this city, mobilize as many people as possible, and the final goal is Held more than 70 concerts in 50 cities, mobilizing 3.5 million spectators."

Henry's words made Hugo's eyes widen in surprise, which meant that an average of more than 50,000 people had to be mobilized for each concert!

To put it simply, there are no 50 venues in the world that can accommodate 50,000 people. This shows the difficulty of this goal, which is comparable to reaching the sky. No wonder AEG Group proposed such a plan: remove all the seats in Madison Square Garden and build a concert venue with a standing audience, accommodating 100,000 people. In other words, AEG Group intends to let Glory to Death hold a concert in venues with 100,000 or even 200,000 people, making this tour a vigorous one.

The attendance rate of concerts is a very sensitive issue. Throughout the long history of music, there are only a handful of top superstars who can successfully hold concerts in venues with 100,000 people-with an attendance rate of more than 80%. To give a number for comparison, there are 5,000 singers who can hold concerts in venues with 5,000 people, then there are 500 singers who can hold concerts in venues with 10,000 people, and singers who can hold concerts in venues with 50,000 people There are less than a hundred people. A concert of 100,000 people? This is only a small area of ​​twenty people—or even less than ten people.

Perhaps the quantification of this number may not be accurate, but the fact is that a 100,000-person concert and a 10,000-person concert are two completely different levels. Even top singers like Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé, at their peak, they They also choose to hold concerts in venues with 50,000 people-most venues will choose 20,000 or 10,000 people.

One hundred thousand people is not just a number. Even if the audience is full, the singer's aura, stage control, and live performance must meet the requirements, and more importantly, the appeal of the scene. If you want to shock the audience, there is absolutely no literal So simple.

The AEG Group is really a big gamble, and their confidence in Glory to Death has already broken through the sky.

"Wow." This was the only reaction Hugo could make. No wonder Henry and EMI couldn't make a decision directly, even though the live country's plan completely fit the style and characteristics of Glory to Death, because the project of AEG Group was also A choice you can't refuse.

Not only because the AEG Group's plan is very grand, but also a performance in a venue with 100,000 people is a huge challenge for Glory to Death. Performing on such a huge stage is the ultimate for any rock band. Dreams, the kind of boiling on the scene is of a different level. This is also one of the important reasons why rock music festivals are so attractive every year: many rock music festivals can attract hundreds of thousands of rock fans.

Therefore, Henry and the others handed the problem back to Glory to Death. After all, for EMI Records, what they reaped from the tour is small profits, more because of the additional income brought by the tour, so they naturally don't mind being a favor.

Hugo let out a long breath and raised his eyebrows, "It's a sweet trouble, isn't it?"

Henry shrugged, "This is also a choice that cannot be wrong. No matter who you choose, it is correct. So, don't have too many scruples, just choose according to your own ideas."

"This is why the choice becomes difficult." Hugo's words made Henry laugh dumbfounded. Hugo glanced at Joseph, but Joseph just shrugged, "I don't mind anyway." If there is a little reminder, he knows better than anyone what this tour means to Glory to Death. An important step for the impasse.

Therefore, maybe the venue is not the most important thing, but the spirit of dying with glory is the most important thing, and it has always been like this. Hugo immediately closed his eyes, "On-site country."
