Chapter 546 Xiti Weibo Hot Search [Big Chapter Tickets]
On the morning of the 24th, Wang Yan was reading in the spacious office area of the presidential suite when Chunguang called to report the first good news.
"President, the venue is ready!"
Wang Yan perked up: "Oh? Where?"
"The main venue of the Mercedes-Benz Center! Bigbang just held a concert there on the 12th of this month. Luo Zhixiang has booked the venue for the 23rd of next month, so the main stage has not been demolished and can be used by us for one day!"
Chunguang was very excited, and Wang Yan was even happier.
"Is there time to remove the seat?"
"There's enough time!"
Chunguang patted her chest as a guarantee, and then asked: "What about our backup plan to go to Hainan?"
Wang Yan pondered for a moment, a little unsure of his decision.
The Mercedes Benz Center is great except for one thing - it's too small.
If you open a three-sided table and remove the seats, you can only put in 20,000 people at most.
However, the coverage radius of the Passion Madness Card is 300 meters!
300×300×3.14=270000, a full coverage area of 270,000 square meters!
You know, the total construction area of the Bird's Nest is only 254,000 square meters. After a little comparison, you will know how evil this card is.
What’s even more frightening is that the card does not impose any restrictions on the number of people covered.
Theoretically, 1 million people can be crammed into 270,000 square meters. The audience density of outdoor music festivals has always been extremely exaggerated, and there is no need to design seats. Four people can be squeezed into one square meter easily.
Of course, such a large scope has no practical significance at all.
The area that the stage can effectively cover is very limited. If it is moved 100 meters away, no matter how good the sound is installed or the big screen is installed, the experience will not be very good.
Without experience, the probability of getting high is very low, which is a waste of effort.
Therefore, Wang Yan's ambitions are not big. He only needs a venue of about 20,000 square meters, can accommodate an audience of 40,000 to 50,000, and then apply for a fireworks show. It will be perfect.
The Mercedes-Benz Center is an indoor venue, so there is no room for large flowers, which makes it a bit boring.
However, if we really want to do it in Hainan, is it too late?
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yan decided to wait.
How bold the man is, how fruitful the earth is!
"Wait a minute, I'll contact Brother Hu, and we'll meet at the club in half an hour."
Wang Yan put on his clothes and hurried downstairs. Dave was already waiting at the front entrance of the hotel with a courtesy car, which was very considerate.
On the way, Brother Hu took the initiative to contact Wang Yan instead of calling him.
"Wang'er, Chunguang told me that I will tell you about the situation in Hainan and you can make your own decision.
I have contacted the Sanya government, and they are very supportive and willing to provide all help.
In terms of venue, there happens to be an activity area dedicated to the music festival underneath the Four Seasons Resort Haitang Bay.
The original plan of the Sanya RM Government was to hold the first Sanya International Music Festival next year to create a domestic electronic music pilgrimage base.
Now only the main stage has been built, and the planned ancillary facilities, such as VIP entertainment area, market area, etc., have not yet started.
So the reception conditions are not that perfect, but the main stage is definitely OK.
That piece of land can accommodate 200,000 people when fully loaded, and the main stage area can easily accommodate 60,000 people.
Normally, it would be too late to sell tickets now to attract so many spectators, but the Sanya government is willing to give its full support and mobilize all tourism companies on the island to promote it to tourists.
With Hainan Island’s total daily reception volume of 300,000 people, three days of promotion time is enough to cover millions of tourists.
In addition, all administrative approvals have been given the green light, and the government is willing to undertake a fireworks show.
As for whether there is enough time, you have to listen to the opinions of experts.
That's probably the case, what do you think? "
What do I think?
"I'll go see it myself!"
Mr. Wang tried his best to suppress his excitement and said quietly: "When will the experts from UMF arrive? I'll have someone book a flight right away."
"They should arrive in Shanghai at 10 o'clock. Then you wait for me at the airport. We will pick them up and fly directly to Sanya in the afternoon."
Happy people do happy things, Brother Tiger immediately decided to accompany him.
At 9:30, the two met in the VIP hall of the airport and began to discuss the details.
At 10 o'clock, the UMF behind-the-scenes team arrived on time.
To be precise, he is the vanguard of the team behind the scenes.
There were a total of 4 people in the group. They were not here to work. They only needed to take a look at the stage and give a one-word conclusion - YES or NO. Wang Yan would have to pay US$240,000 for this.
The young man is not short of money, he just wants to hear that YES.
After a few simple greetings, and a few foreigners looking at them as mentally retarded, I took a technical expert and headed straight to Sanya.
The remaining team members were not idle either and went to the Mercedes-Benz Center to inspect the venue.
After getting off the plane, the courtesy car of Shangri-La Hotel that Dave had arranged in advance was waiting in the VIP parking lot. He picked up a group of people and went straight to Haitang Bay.
Coincidentally, 3.5 kilometers south of the venue is the Haitang Bay Shangri-La Hotel.
Along the way, Wang Yan chatted with the technical expert named Mars. It turned out that the guy was a technical geek, and he was like a chicken.
When we arrived at the venue, district government staff were already waiting there.
"Welcome Mr. Wang to come and inspect..."
While talking nonsense, Mars simply walked around the main stage, looked at the numerous steel frames, and shrugged to Wang Yan: "It's a good design and a good stage foundation, but it's a pity that it's poor. Too much."
Brother Fugui frowned tightly: "What's wrong?"
"Now only the power system and security system are ready-made. It takes fifteen days to install the large LED screen, and the stage lighting will be even slower...
In addition, professional equipment such as monitors, FOH, return speakers, amplifier cabinets and power cabinets have to be transported by air. I am calling now. The fastest it will be here is the 27th, and we must complete the debugging assembly on the 30th...
Wang, give up, it's impossible to make it in time. "
Wang Yan ignored Mars, relayed everything to the government, and then asked calmly: "If I hold the music festival here, can you complete the stage construction before the 30th?"
The leader waved over a technician and asked in a low voice.
The young man looked troubled, and Wang Yan's heart suddenly sank.
Mars couldn't understand Chinese, but he could understand the expressions. When he saw this, a sneer appeared on his face.
"Wow, I think we can go back to the Magic City..."
Wang Yan still didn't give up.
After thinking for a while, he added to the technician: "I will invite another professional team from Shanghai to work with you on shifts. I will pay all the expenses and triple the overtime pay."
When the technician heard this, he immediately nodded desperately.
"The main problem is the shortage of manpower. We have too few workers here who can do this kind of professional work. With a team, I guarantee that the work will be delivered on time!"
Mars frowned, looked at everyone who suddenly relaxed, and muttered impatiently: "Oh my god, what are you so happy about? Wang, I advise you to calm down, you don't understand the difficulty of this matter at all!"
"No."
Young Master Wang smiled and responded confidently: "It's you Don't know, What is the Chinese fast!"
Mars was stunned on the spot and felt like a foreign club.
Although it was a sentence in English, it inspired all the Chinese people present.
"Yes, you don't understand what China's speed is!"
…
After taking a car back to the city center and talking with leaders of relevant government departments for an hour, Wang Yan finally made a decision——
Have a music festival right here!
I held the opening ceremony in Shanghai in the morning and flew over in the afternoon. It looked very stressful.
Most of my friends don't understand.
Especially the additional cost to pay for this is simply shocking.
Wang Yan didn't explain, but silently started throwing money away.
First, I asked Zhang Yiyan to help coordinate 5 charter flights. On the afternoon of the 31st, they arrived in Sanya from Shanghai and departed in batches.
An Airbus 320 can accommodate 160 passengers and costs 400,000.
A Boeing 747 can accommodate 400+ passengers and costs 950,000 yuan.
I applied for a total of two 747s and three 320s, spending 3 million to pull 1,300 people at a time, but still couldn't fit them.
Some employees and anchors of Wangting Entertainment had to take civil flights to Sanya in advance.
Next, in order to accommodate so many people, Wang Yan cleared out the rooms in luxury hotels such as Haitang Bay Minsheng Westin Hotel, Shangri-La Resort Hotel, JW Marriott, and booked 1,000 rooms.
It can accommodate more than 2,000 people and cost nearly 5 million.
Wang Yan paid for the government to stage a large-scale fireworks show, which cost 500,000 yuan per minute and totaled 12 minutes, which just covered the last three songs of the music festival.
Another 6 million went out.
After the music festival, there was a small carnival party for eating, drinking and socializing.
The main wine used is champagne, 400 bottles of Ace of Spades Platinum, 400 bottles of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque 2007 vintage champagne, and 200 bottles of Belle Epoque rose, which cost about just over 6.5 million.
Red wine, beer, and whiskey add up to about 1.5 million.
The budget for mineral water is 1 million, the dishes are 1 million, and the service fee is 15%, totaling 11.5 million.
We haven’t even calculated the cost of the music festival itself, but the budget has already reached over 26 million.
Dave was keeping accounts nearby, his eyes twitching.
As a result, the festival itself is relatively inexpensive.
With a wave of its hand, the Sanya government exempted venue fees, publicity fees, equipment usage fees, etc., and approved an additional 3 million yuan subsidy to extend the fireworks show to 18 minutes.
Therefore, Wang Yan only needs to pay UMF's service fee and DJ's appearance fee.
UMF's offer is $1.5 million + 10% of gross ticket proceeds.
Mr. Wang raised the price to 3 million, and the other party refused to mention the share.
Wang Yan turned back and found Damai.com, an online ticketing company, and sold the ticket sales at a package price of 5 million. The ticket inspection was naturally borne by the district government.
The ability to use money was pushed all the way, and Mr. Wang received 100% of the box office share.
Simply unprecedented.
Brother Hu was speechless, covering his forehead and sighing.
"Why do you want a 100% share? If you exchange 1.5 million US dollars for a 10% box office share, even if the average ticket price is as high as 1,500 yuan a piece, you still have to sell 60,000 tickets to cover the 1.5 million rice. Damai.com’s 5 million is even more outrageous, what are you trying to do..."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "I am only short of time and not money. Don't worry, I won't lose money."
Brother Hu didn't believe it: "Why won't you lose money? There are only 7 days left, who will you sell the ticket to?"
Wang Yan didn't answer, but patted Brother Hu on the shoulder: "I'll go back to the Magic City right away, so you can keep an eye on this place."
"Okay, I owe you!"
Brother Hu did not refuse or be polite: "I will keep an eye on you for three days and coordinate everything. I have to go out on something on the 28th, so you can find a brother to take my place."
"OK."
Wang Yan nodded and hurried back without stopping.
When we arrived at the club, it was already past 9pm, and everyone was waiting.
After greeting them one by one and chatting about the venue, Wang Yan asked about the most important DJ.
"Xiaoguan, how's the contact going?"
Guan Zhixiang took out a table: "Last year's top 30 DJs, Little Martin, Marshmallow, Afo, San Ge, Dailu, and Qingmu are all confirmed to have no schedules. The rest should only be a matter of price."
Chu Xin was a little worried: "There are still too many people left, how to choose?"
Wang Yan thought for a while and asked the nightclub baristas: "Is there anyone who must be invited? Please recommend it."
Guan Zhixiang blurted out: "A God Avicii!"
Jianwu hesitated for a while and then recommended a combination: "You must invite the Belgian brothers, right? They are the kings of the scene!"
Zhang Kai interjected: "I quite like the smoker's style."
Liu Yeyan said concisely: "Uncle Tie!"
In the end, all the newcomers joined in the fun: "I especially like the new version of Faded released by Alan Walker at the end of last year, but it's a pity that he didn't make it into the top 30..."
"What's the matter? Just come."
The face of the new sister must be given, so what if she is just a little shrimp?
Wang Yan never expected that his original intention of just satisfying Chu Xin's wish would end up bringing a lot of bad BGM to the country...
Scumbags, are you ready for the strong wind?
Let me tremble in Faded!
…
Miss Chuxin smiled happily and asked enthusiastically: "What about the remaining candidates?"
Wang Yan waved his hand: "Turn on the speakers and let's listen to the music together. Today we will decide on the DJ and performance tracks."
Guan Zhixiang is relatively familiar with the classic works of DJs, and he turns on the stereo to find them one after another.
More than ten people gathered together and voted once for each song they listened to.
The minority obeys the majority and is straightforward and unobtrusive.
In principle, each DJ can perform up to 5 tracks, which lasts for fifteen or six minutes.
Finally, the total performance length was kept to about two and a half hours.
So thirteen or fourteen DJs are enough.
The first 15 minutes were for warming up, and the last 15 minutes were for cooling off. The two hours in between were when Wang Yan was shaving his hair off like crazy.
In the end, 12 main songs and 3 alternatives were decided on, totaling more than 50 songs.
With Wang Yan's current aesthetic taste, I feel that 80% of them can be called classics, while the remaining 20% are too hard-core and unacceptable.
But playing live is different from listening to CDs. The more hard-core the electronic music scene is, the more exciting it is.
The thief is easy to shake.
Anyway, if everything can be settled, this will definitely be a performance that will be remembered in history.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, after finishing the song selection work, Xiaoguan started asking for help from his boss.
The most expensive Belgian brother's appearance fee is US$1.5 million, which is 1.2 million US dollars. Last year's working king Calvin quoted US$950,000.
Xiaoguan couldn't help but complain: "The average price of Calvin's entire performance in a nightclub in Scotland is only over 400,000. Come to us and you can double that in just 15 minutes..."
Shenhaowang waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.
"As long as it's about the same. They may make a profit, but I will never lose."
Everyone thought that Wang Yan was talking about the publicity effect and off-site profits, but little did they know that Brother Gou was talking about it literally.
This event will be called a loss if it doesn’t make 500 million!
After 20 minutes of back and forth, we finally reached an agreement.
The package price of 14 DJs is US$8 million, and it also comes with a Norwegian female singer Aisling singing a live version of Faded.
In addition, air tickets, food and accommodation, and Wangting Entertainment are all-inclusive.
At this point, the preliminary preparations for the birthday party are basically completed.
Everyone lay lazily on the ground in the rest area on the third floor, rested for a while, and suddenly became curious again.
"Wang'er, how do you plan to get your money back?"
"Yes, I heard from Brother Hu, do you want to increase the ticket price?"
"How to sell the tickets?"
"Should we start promoting it?"
Wang Yan was even more tired after a hard day's work. He slumped on the sofa like a salted fish, still showing off.
"The mountain man has his own clever plan."
"Depend on!"
They all raised their middle fingers.
There was no energy left to curse any more. Everyone was so tired that they quickly dispersed and went to sleep.
…
The decoration of the club is quite good. There are many guest rooms on the fourth floor. The water bed is big and soft, but there is no girl to accompany the bed.
On the morning of the 25th, Wang Yan opened his eyes and spent 10 minutes to relieve the strange symptoms of not being in bed with his little sister, and then started working again without stopping.
We have to confirm the guests today.
If you are particularly close, just send a group text message.
"At 8:58 a.m. on the 31st, the opening ceremony of the Speed Alliance will be held. In the afternoon, we will charter a flight to Sanya for a birthday party. The hotel has been booked, so just bring your brains - Wang Yan."
Within seconds, the phone started buzzing.
Wang Yan ignored it for the time being and then approached Wang Yunxi.
"I am sending an internal company notice that all employees at the headquarters on the 31st will be on holiday to participate in the Wangting Ceremony Electronic Music Festival.
Depart in batches and fly to Sanya on a chartered flight. Two people will share a hotel room. Tickets are free for employees, allowing the management to do statistical and organizational work.
In addition, additional tickets will be allocated according to the anchor’s monthly turnover.
50,000 monthly turnover for two invitations.
Three for 100,000, four for 200,000, and so on, try to invite the eldest brother.
It is considered an offline team-building activity and provides benefits for fans, but you are responsible for your own air tickets and accommodation.
I will go to the platform later to discuss the conditions for the live broadcast. You should hurry up and come up with a publicity plan. Try to expand your influence to the entire network, but don't do it in my name. I have other publicity ideas. "
When Wang Yan started to contact major platforms, the brothers of the Speed Alliance got up to eat and were stunned to see that the president was cheating money there.
"It's no fun to talk about relationships. I'm short of money."
"About 300 well-known rich second-generation people under the age of 30 from across the country will be present. More than 20 first-line stars will participate. The top 10 DJs in the world will make a collective appearance in China for the first time... What brand is the introduction?"
"Stop, stop, stop, why are you starting to have a relationship again? The landlord's family doesn't have any food left!"
"Exclusive live broadcast rights? Don't even think about it!"
"Ten million is less. If you sign a fat anchor, you will be given tens of millions a year..."
"Don't have enough cash? Okay, then you can give me a 2-point share discount, and then give me 10 cover recommendations. I'll be honest, right?"
After a lot of fooling around, I didn't get any cash, but I didn't lose at all.
Wangting Entertainment currently has a monthly turnover of 50 million on the Yu platform. 2 points is 1 million a month and 12 million a year.
Other guilds certainly can't guarantee that their turnover will continue to grow, but what Brother Fugui is best at, isn't it just swiping?
Get the share discount, it’s a huge profit!
And the further you go, the more money you make.
After a lot of deception, the live broadcast was finally authorized to the four platforms of Yuhumaolong. They had to work hard to help promote it... They are all good people!
At the end of the performance, everyone was extremely impressed.
Brother Xu couldn't help but complain: "Where did you get 20 A-list celebrities?"
Wang Yan glanced over and said confidently: "You and Sister An go and invite me!"
puff!
Brother Xu has no reservations about his old blood.
Wang Yan turned his head and saw Jianwu who was snickering. He grabbed another strong man and said, "Brother Wu, don't just watch the fun. Invite a few more friends. You are responsible for ten percent of the 300 second-generation rich people." one."
Depend on!
Do you want to show off your face?
Complaining is of no use. In the afternoon, everyone went to mobilize the masses and call friends.
Wang Yan personally called the unfamiliar second-generation people.
Wang Siming definitely wants to invite him, not because of his good relationship, but mainly because he has money.
When I called him, Mr. Wang was very considerate.
"It's your birthday, so I'll definitely be there! You don't have to say anything, if you don't invite me, I'll worry about you!"
Wang Yan chuckled: "Then you can help me repost Weibo to promote it, okay?"
Wang Siming laughed loudly: "It's okay to be a thief!"
Next is Jiang Xinjiang Gongzi.
"I'm just waiting for you to speak. If you need help, don't be polite to me."
After that came Zhang Rong.
Because he wasn't very familiar with her, Brother Gou came up with a way to seduce her.
"I mainly want to take this opportunity to chat with you. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Zhang Liang smiled happily: "I've long wanted to get close to you, Wang Shen. See you on the 31st. Be sure to have a drink!"
Brother Gou is really out of reach of the remaining Zuo Ying, Liu Chang, Zhang Kangyang, Xiao Wang and others. It can only depend on whether the brothers can do their best.
Anyway, I will definitely try my best.
On the one hand, I want to support Wang Yan, on the other hand, it is indeed a good opportunity to expand his contacts.
While he was busy, Wang Yan found time to log in to his account and posted his first Weibo post since the scolding battle.
【March 31st, turning 20 years old.
Wang Shen: You have grown up, tell the world.
WangGou: No, you didn't! Go surf!
Wang Yan: Okay, then show it to the world in a grown-up way.
Mr. Wang: Let me just say a few words...
Ahem, stop, the following is the serious text——
Today I mainly want to tell you one thing: I spent about 80 million to throw myself a birthday party.
The theme is electronic music carnival, and more than ten of the world's top 100 DJs including W&W, Tiesto...Aivcii have been invited to perform on the stage, and they have decided to set off 10 million fireworks to add to the fun.
The original intention was just a get-together with friends, but x-on:Wang Siming advised me: It would be a pity to enjoy such a rare music feast behind closed doors alone.
Thinking about it, it does make some sense. After thinking about it for two nights, I decided to open it to the outside world.
In order to establish a certain threshold, the ticket price is tentatively set at 3,000.
But I don’t want to use my birthday to make money, so in the end, all ticket proceeds will be donated to x-on:Project Hope.
If you have 50 million, donate 50 million. If you only have 5000, I will make up the 50 million myself.
This is to save some reputation for my unintentional display of wealth.
The online ticket purchase link is as follows: www.().com
At 8pm on March 31st, I invite everyone to listen to music, play disco and watch fireworks in Haitang Bay, Sanya]
Wang Yan's attention is already very high, and he has many active fans. As soon as the soft article was posted, comments and reposts exploded.
If another person said he spent 80 million on his birthday, netizens would have to piss on his face.
Wang Yan said that the credibility is extremely high.
So the first batch of comments were all filled with shock.
[Woo woo woo, the male god is finally open for business, I feel...fuck! w(Д)w】
【How many? ! Could you correct the wrong numbers again? ! 】
【Oh my god, I'm weak...】
[Wang Shen Niu beeps and Wang Shen is domineering! If you don't show up, it will be big news! 】
【What family? Spend 80 million on a birthday? Damn it...forget it, I can’t spray it anymore, people want to donate to the Hope Project...]
[Oh my god, Ward! What a magical lineup! 】
[A Shenyangui Uncle Tie! Poverty made me shed painful tears, and I could only shake my head along with the plum blossoms in the country bar...]
[Envy is true envy, but if you can’t afford to go, you really can’t afford to go...]
Not surprisingly, the hot search instantly made the list, and then shot up from the position of more than 70.
Wang Siming saw someone x-on:himself, and then looked at Wang Yan’s Weibo, and he became autistic again.
I promised you to repost it on Weibo, but you never said you would step on me to show off your wealth!
Since the birth of the Internet, there have been endless attempts to show off wealth online.
Today is the top.
You might say that what Wang Yan did was just to show off his wealth, but if you look at it carefully, you feel something is wrong, and it has a strange smell of positive energy.
Are you saying he's not showing off his wealth?
Are you blind? !
Spending 80 million on an outdoor disco is something that humans do? !
Wang Siming felt pain in his balls for a long time, so he finally pinched his nose and retweeted + commented.
【looking forward to! ! ! Be sure to go there on the 31st to wish the dog a happy birthday! 】
You call yourself a barking dog, why should I be polite to you?
I'll make you sick and relieve my inner melancholy...
With his reposting and the support of celebrities such as Guo Xiaosi, Yang Mi, Guo Biting, etc., the popularity exploded even more rapidly.
In less than an hour, the whole Internet was obsessed with this big melon.
****
I listen to all kinds of music, classical, folk, house, electronic, hip-hop, rock, and the languages span Japan, Korea, the United States, the United States, and Spain...
If you are interested, I will recommend some electronic music to you in a few chapters, which is quite interesting to play in the car.
