Let's turn the time back to last night.

Just when Ye Weiyang was still sleeping, he was in a commercial building in BY District next door, which was only one district away from Tianhai Conservatory of Music.

The office floor of the domestic well-known music brand Rainbow Project is still brightly lit.

The reason why I haven't gotten off work so late is that the Strawberry Music Festival, the music festival brand founded by the Rainbow Project, will be opened in less than a week in September this year.

Now all the employees of the entire Rainbow Project are making final preparations for this Strawberry Music Festival.

In the office, everyone was nervously coordinating the various preparations for the festival, connecting with various suppliers, and confirming the itinerary with bands and singers who were about to perform at the festival.

Everyone was very busy with the entire Rainbow Project and didn’t even have time to chat with a word of gossip.

Suddenly, an employee who was confirming the itinerary with the invited performer put down the phone with a nervous look on his face, stood up and shouted: "Director Li! Something happened!"

Li Yaping, who was busy sorting out the list of sponsors for this Strawberry Music Festival, raised his head and asked calmly, "What's wrong."

"Originally, we had an agreement with us to participate in the Fire Truck Band in Canton to inform us that they would have an important variety show to participate on September 10th. The most popular music variety show in China, "Who is the Singer", invited them to play the hall, and made a temporary decision."

"The agent of the Fire Truck Band chose "Who is the Singer" between "Who is the Singer" and our music festival. He planned to breach the contract and would not come to the festival anymore. The liquidated damages have been transferred to the company's account."

Li Yaping frowned slightly with beautiful eyebrows and said calmly: "It seems that he is determined to breach the contract, so let's replace him."

"There is still one week left, and it's time to change the performance guests."

"Fire Truck Band, haha, more than ten groups of guests, no matter what they are, just substitute people!"

"But..." the staff member said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "The list of guests at this Strawberry Music Festival was promoted online a month ago, and there was also a fire truck band on the poster."

"If we change it now, those fire truck band fans who have already bought tickets may be very dissatisfied and their image of our music festival will also be damaged."

Li Yaping sneered and said indifferently: "The Fire Truck Band is just a newcomer band that has just emerged. It has been less than three years since its debut. It is difficult to find a three-legged toad. Is it difficult to find a two-legged singer?"

"As long as we find a group of singers who are more famous than the Fire Truck Band to save the scene and then announce the news, the Fire Truck Band will breach the contract first, and their fans will naturally have nothing to say."

"The ticket refund channel can also be opened. If someone really comes to the fire truck band, then let them refund the tickets. Anyway, the tickets for our Strawberry Music Festival are very popular, so they don't have fans."

Generally, large-scale music festivals can be purchased directly on site after tickets are opened on the Internet and on the opening day, because the music festivals are different from concerts, and it is more like a big party.

Usually music festivals are held in large parks, held for two or three days, with eight hours of stage performances every day.

There are no fixed seats for everyone. There are also various stalls selling snacks, snack streets, and various stalls selling creative jewelry and souvenirs in the park.

When everyone arrives at the music festival, they basically run around. If you want to watch the stage performance, follow the band in the square in front of the stage. When you are tired, you go to the snack street and the small stalls for fun to restore your energy.

If you just want to feel the atmosphere, you can sit on the ground on the lawn of the park and bring some food and drinks, just take a picnic. It is very casual and you can play for a day.

Therefore, tickets for music festivals are usually not divided into various levels, such as VIPs, stands, etc., ranging from hundreds to thousands.

There are generally only regular tickets and pro tickets for music festivals. Pro tickets are faster security checks and can take the fast track. There is also a pro audience lounge where you can take a break when you are tired of playing. There is almost no difference in other treatments.

So even if you refund some tickets, when the festival opens, many individual tourists will come to supplement these losses, which will basically not affect the festival's revenue issues.

As for public opinion, the fire truck band is ahead of the breach of contract, so how could it be that the Strawberry Music Festival is not blamed?

So, the only question facing Li Yaping is now. After the Fire Truck Band cancels the performance plan, who should I find to put out the fire?

Li Yaping frowned and asked several staff members in charge of the docking of artists: "Is there any combination of schedule or singers who can contact the fire to put out the fire within a week?"

The Strawberry Music Festival has been held for more than ten years, with forty or fifty shows. The accumulated cooperative connections are still very rich, but the time given is too tight, and the performance will be held in seven days.

Several staff members immediately began to contact the singers who had worked with before.

But the result is not very good.

You should know that for artists, the itinerary within one month has basically been planned long ago, and even the more popular artists must make appointments six months in advance.

It is not easy to find someone to put out the fire in a hurry.

Several staff members contacted more than a dozen singers, but most of them had no schedule.

Even some independent bands and independent musicians have no time to come to save the scene. Either there is a livehouse to do or there are other small music performances.

Summer has always been a busy time for singers and bands. After all, summer is the most suitable time to hold music festivals and events. Who can hold music festivals on a cold day in the middle of winter? In such a cold day, everyone stays at home, so where are you willing to come out to play?

Audiences also like to have this kind of entertainment in summer, and various music festivals are held in September 678.

So at this moment, it is not easy to contact an artist who happens to be in time to put out the fire.

All the employees in the entire office were in a hurry to contact the artist, but they couldn't find a suitable one.

Li Yaping's brows were also frowning deeper and deeper.

At this moment, Wen Ying, a newcomer who had just joined the Rainbow Project for less than a year, raised her hand weakly and said to Li Yaping tentatively: "Director Li, have you seen the video posted by the school's official Weibo tonight?"

Li Yaping is Wen Ying's senior sister. Both of them graduated from Tianhai Conservatory of Music, so the "school" mentioned in Wen Ying's words, Li Yaping knows which school is being mentioned.

"No, what video?" She shook her head, her face a little unhappy. When is it now? She is busy every day, so how can she have time to pay attention to what her alma mater posted on the Internet?

Seeing this, Wen Ying immediately ran to Li Yaping with her mobile phone and handed the video that was being played on her mobile phone to Li Yaping.

"Director Li, look, this is the performance video of Tianhai Conservatory of Music this year's welcome to the new year. The original song of this campus band is particularly nice."

"After the video was posted on the Internet, the number of views exploded immediately. Now the total number of views on Douyin and Weibo has been nearly five million, with tens of thousands of likes and a lot of comments, almost all of which have good reviews."

"This is a campus band. I don't have many opportunities to perform normally, and I have a lot of schedules."

"If it really doesn't work, otherwise we can contact this band. According to the popularity of this video, they will definitely explode tomorrow, and at least in the next one or two weeks, it will become a hot topic on the Internet."

"This wave of popularity just happens to be able to create momentum for our Strawberry Music Festival. If you miss this opportunity, their popularity may pass in two months."

Li Yaping's eyes lit up, and he took the phone and looked at the non-closing band singing "Stubborn" on the screen.

"Not bad, it's a good song!"

After watching this performance video from beginning to end, Li Yaping nodded with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
