Saturday, August 13, 1994, was a special day for Chinese people.

This day is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which is the traditional Chinese Qixi Festival.

And there was another big event on the 1994 Chinese Valentine's Day.

After preparation, Deng Lili's first concert in mainland China is scheduled to be held on the evening of August 13.

Location is Jiangwan Stadium in Shencheng.

The Chinese Valentine's Day is also called the Qiqiao Festival, or the Daughter's Day, the Women's Day, and the ancient Women's Day.

The festival comes from the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

The days were chosen by Wang Lin.

Wang Lin thought this day was particularly meaningful. It was Saturday again and the next day was a rest day. No one had to go to work and had time to come to the concert.

On the evening of the Chinese Valentine's Day, many young people will go out for a date.

On such a day, Deng Lijun sang her first song in the mainland, which was most appropriate.

As we all know, the 80,000-person stadium in Shencheng was completed in 1997 and was built to welcome the sporting event of the 8th National Games.

However, in the 1930s, Shencheng already had a large stadium with a scale and capacity of people. It is not only the largest stadium in Shencheng, but also known as the No. 1 in the Far East.

More importantly, it was designed and built by Chinese people, and it was not easy in that era.

I believe many people have guessed that this is Jiangwan Stadium located in Jiangwan area of ​​YP District.

It is said that it is a stadium, but it actually includes an indoor gymnasium and a swimming pool. The stadium can accommodate 42,000 spectators, the stadium can accommodate 3,500 spectators, and the swimming pool can accommodate 2,500 spectators.

The area of ​​360 acres is still quite large in scale now.

Many people who have studied, lived and worked in Yangpu have some impression of this stadium. They may not have really been in to watch competitions or performances, but every time they pass by, they can always see its majestic "city gate". Unlike Hongkou, which is 80,000 people, the appearance looks round, and the front of Jiangwan Stadium looks more like a city, with a three-hole coupon door archway style.

If you look closely at the decorations above, they are all traditional Chinese cloud patterns, lotus patterns and flame patterns. The most eye-catching thing is the metal cauldron at both ends, and the color of the bronze is solemn and sacred. It turns out that these two cauldrons are used to light the torch. The most shocking thing is the text engraved on the arch: "I Wu Weiyang", "I will strive for self-improvement."

The 1983 Fifth Games will be held here.

Before the completion of the 80,000-person stadium, Jiangwan Stadium was still the stadium with the largest number of people in Shencheng.

It is of great significance that Wang Lin put Deng Lijun’s first concert here.

The opinions of Shen Xue and Lin Daimei are to put the first concert in Xiaobailing, Shencheng.

But Wang Lin felt that Xiao Bailing could only sit for a few thousand people. This scene was too petty. The concert could be organized by Xiao Bailing, but the venue must be large!

The name of the concert is "Agree on the Chinese Valentine's Day, you are here today!"

During the entire performance, Deng Lijun will sing 30 songs, which lasts for four hours.

Lin Meimei has been out of confinement, and she and other artists of Xiao Bailing will be on stage as guests to sing.

In addition, Deng Lijun’s good friends in Xiangjiang will also come to help as mysterious guests.

There is no doubt that this will be a grand concert!

For singers of Deng Lijun's age, holding such a large concert is actually very physically exhausting.

Some small singers or meetups will be fewer, and they will be finished in just a dozen songs because those will mainly interact with fans.

Her concert in New York was only two hours a day.

This is her first concert when she returned to the mainland, and of course she has to be grand!

The promotion of the concert is overwhelming.

A week before the concert started, the prime time of CCTV and local stations was full of news about Deng Lijun's concert.

This concert is of great significance to the Chinese.

The fans are crazy!

Finally, I can see Deng Lijun’s concert in mainland cities!

The tickets for the concert range from 50 yuan, 100 yuan, 200 yuan, 300 yuan, and 500 yuan.

Wang Lin had already expected that these tickets would definitely be snatched by scalpers, so from the beginning, corresponding measures were formulated, and only one ticket could be purchased for each ID card.

The ticketing system is controlled by a computer. After entering the ID card, you cannot purchase tickets for this concert again.

In this way, artificially raised the threshold and effectively curbed the scalper's vote-inverting behavior.

At the same time, only a portion of the tickets for VIPs and high-priced tickets are sold every day.

Even on the last day, you can buy a front row ticket worth 500 yuan.

In 1994, the ticket price of 500 yuan was definitely higher than the monthly salary of many people.

In order to increase the revenue of the concert, Wang Lin also sold CDs and vinyl records signed by Deng Lijun at the entrance of the stadium.

Each of these signature discs is 50% higher than the market price, and only 10,000 copies are available in a limited quantity.

As soon as the news came out, more people were queuing up to buy signature discs than those bought concert tickets!

The show has not started yet, and ten thousand autographed discs were snatched away.

If it weren't for the mercy of Deng Lijun, Wang Lin would have released another 100,000 signature discs.

The pre-sale of tickets is very popular.

On the morning of August 13, more than 40,000 tickets were sold out.

In the afternoon, someone came to buy tickets. After hearing that there were no tickets, they all said that they could buy station tickets at the original price.

The stadium is so big that one or two thousand people are standing there, which is really nothing wrong.

But it also takes courage to watch the four-hour concert while standing.

There are more and more people queuing up to buy tickets on site, and the calls for buying station tickets are getting higher and higher!

Many people still came from other places and didn't want to go back empty-handed.

This made Xiao Bailing Company very embarrassed.

Shen Xue held an emergency meeting with her big belly and asked Wang Lin for instructions.

Wang Lin feels safety first.

The gatherings of so many people are a great test for the organizer.

If there is an uncontrollable situation on the scene, immeasurable consequences will occur.

Three people died on the project site last time, and they all had a big fight!

Happy events must not turn into funerals!

So Wang Lin rejected the proposal to sell station tickets.

Although selling two or three thousand more station tickets can bring more benefits, the more thousands of extra people will become a safety hazard.

Shen Xue and others also followed Wang Lin's words and stopped selling station tickets.

Deng Lijun also felt that selling station tickets was disrespectful to fans, and agreed with Wang Lin's opinion.

She said that if I sell so many station tickets, it would be better to sign thousands more and sell discs!

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Take it slow, this is just the first concert. There will be more concerts in the future, so that your fans can appreciate your style."

Shen Xue said: "Sister Deng's fans are afraid that there are hundreds of millions of dollars! Even if there are tens of thousands of people in each show, I don't know how many concerts will be held!"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "The problem is that some people watched one show but it was not enough! Some people continued to watch it every show! I guess, as long as Sister Deng held a concert, someone would always buy tickets to enter!"

Deng Lijun smiled and said, "It's not so exaggerating, right? I'm afraid that I'm old and can't make any money!"

Wang Lin said: "You have a good sleep, and you will be in four hours at night!"

Deng Lijun said: "It's okay, I can afford it for four hours, and I don't have to hold several concerts in a row."

But she still obeyed Wang Lin's instructions and slept well for a while.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the concert will start on time.

Before starting, Wang Lin called the staff and checked the stage repeatedly.

Too many stage collapses!

Wang Lin must ensure Deng Lijun's safety.

In large-scale concerts, there are usually large-scale dancers, and dozens of people dance on them. It is easy to cause problems if the stage is a little bit trampled.

Li Wenxiu and others came to watch the concert.

Although they have watched Deng Lijun's concert in the United States, they still want to watch it.

I have to say that this is an era that belongs to Deng Lijun!

The scene became a sea of ​​joy.

Tens of thousands of people raised their hands to cheer at the same time and waved the glow sticks in their hands.

Fans made large fluorescent cards with various slogans written on them.

"Junjun, we love you!"
