Before Li Qing could say anything, he saw the roar of wind and people in all directions.
The paparazzi reporters who have been squatting around Universal Music in Hong Kong all year round couldn't help but have expressions of surprise on their faces after noticing Zhang Zitao's words. Each of them looked ferocious, and under the astonished eyes of the people around them, they carried their cameras.
He ran towards Li Qing and others.
However, Zhang Zitao seems to be accustomed to this situation.
As soon as he waved his hand, a group of handsome security personnel in stylish suits emerged from behind him, escorting Li Qing and others into the building from 360-degree angles.
Some passers-by didn't know what was going on, but they couldn't help but join in the commotion and run with the crowd.
Because many people know that this is Universal Records, when they see these paparazzi carrying cameras and video cameras, they instantly realize that well-known artists have appeared in front of Universal Records. Otherwise, these reporters would not be so excited.
.
Li Qing was thoughtful when he saw this scene, but he was also quite helpless. This is the tragedy of being a star. No matter where he goes, he always seems to have to live in the spotlight. Originally, he didn't care much about these things, and he was even complacent.
, but when you experience it too much, it becomes a burden.
But even if he took the trouble, since he had chosen this profession, Li Qing naturally would not say any pretentious words. He glanced at the group of reporters who were blocked outside, and then pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.
Under his leadership, he took the lead to go to Universal Records.
Knowing that Li Qing was coming, Universal Music's arrangements were quite considerate, and the various receptions were also very considerate.
After dinner, everyone started chatting about the Hung Hom concert.
Hung Hom Stadium is a comprehensive indoor multi-purpose competition and performing arts venue in Hong Kong. It is named after it is located on Cheong Wan Road, Hung Hom, Yau Tsim Mong District, Kowloon. Its appearance is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like an inverted pyramid. It can accommodate nearly 15,000 people.
Thousands of spectators.
Since its opening in 1984, the Coliseum has held concerts for nearly a hundred celebrities.
"About 20 songs can be performed in a concert."
In the conference room, Zhang Zitao smiled and said to Li Qing: "Li Sheng, you have composed enough songs since your debut, and you can sing in different ways. As for what to sing, we completely follow your opinions. If you think this is not enough
, then we can add a venue at any time. We have already contacted the Hong Kong Coliseum. They are very happy to know that you are opening the venue and welcome it. Taking into account the market audience, Universal plans to provide you with a venue from January 1st to 2nd.
On the same day, two concerts will be held at the Coliseum..."
The two concerts only accommodated less than 30,000 spectators, which was not enough compared to Li Qing’s huge fan popularity.
Zhang Zitao originally wanted to arrange seven games in seven days for Li Qing, but he also knew that Li Qing was in a hurry, so the two parties reached an agreement on the phone and only played two games.
In terms of the contract, the two parties split it 50-50.
Universal is responsible for the rental of the Coliseum, as well as the arrangements for facilities, venues and stage personnel, while Li Qing completely acts as a barefoot commander, taking the lead on his own.
There are very few large venues in Hong Kong. Although the Hong Kong Coliseum is not the largest stadium, its rent is relatively expensive because of its popularity.
Generally speaking, singers who are not particularly popular really cannot afford this fee.
There are two rental fee models for the Coliseum. The basic rent is 50,000 yuan per day, or 20% of the total daily ticket revenue.
For others, the latter may be a better deal.
But for a domestic superstar like Li Qing, it is obviously more cost-effective to pay 50,000 yuan per day.
Li Qing will hold two concerts in two days in total, but including the days of venue rehearsal and venue layout, after one concert is held, Universal needs to advance 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in advance just for the venue rental.
The ticket prices for concerts are not uniform. There is a huge difference in the price between the inner venue and the outer venue. The farthest location is more than 200 yuan, but when it comes to the inner venue, you need thousands of yuan to buy it. And the specially set up
VIP seats can even cost more than 5,000 yuan.
Therefore, after a concert is held, the organizer can earn about 30 million from the ticket price alone.
This is also the reason why many singers particularly like to hold concerts when the future enters the digital music era.
First, because of the sluggish recording era, some singers may even lose money when releasing a record.
Secondly, it is because there are not many channels for singers to make money. Advertising contracts are one type, followed by concerts.
The price of a concert can even reach tens of thousands of yuan per ticket, and there are even sky-high price concerts that dare to exaggerate to offer a ticket of 600,000 yuan, but these are a minority after all, and there are not many fans who pay for it, except for consumer fans.
Enthusiasm has no other use, and in the end it even becomes a joke.
After Li Qing's two concerts were held, he alone could make a profit of 30 million yuan.
After deducting related taxes and fees, it is probably about 25 million. For Li Qing, a week of rehearsals and performances can earn him more than 20 million. This is probably the fastest money he has made since his debut.
project.
Therefore, he was somewhat interested in Zhang Zitao's suggestion to hold more airport concerts, but considering his own schedule, Li Qing finally shook his head and rejected the proposal.
But the subsequent development was completely beyond Li Qing's expectations.
While Li Qing was rehearsing and designing the stage for the upcoming concert, major media outlets in Hong Kong reported one after another that Li Qing would hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium on January 1.
For a time, Hong Kong was buzzing with people discussing the news.
The Hong Kong online discussion forum is even more crowded, with posts everywhere asking for insider information, and even more people are asking for votes.
There are a total of 700,000 people in Hong Kong. According to street surveys, among the age group of 14 to 35, more than 75% of Hong Kong people are willing to go to the Coliseum to watch Li Qing's concert.
Even among people above 35, the support rate is 45%.
Such survey data directly caused the entire Hong Kong music scene to explode.
After scalpers from all over the country heard about this incident, they began to raise prices. A ticket in the outermost area of the Hong Kong Coliseum was originally priced at 280 yuan. After several rounds of speculation, it was raised to 800 yuan per ticket.
The highest ticket price in the infield is 1,680 yuan, which has been increased to nearly 5,000 yuan.
The most outrageous thing is that there are only a thousand VIP auditorium seats!
The original ticket price of 5,000 yuan has been increased to nearly 10,000 yuan!
When Li Qing received this news, he was completely stunned. He knew that he was very popular, but he didn't expect that he would become so famous!
This is almost indistinguishable from those "Kings and Queens" in later generations who frequently shout out tens of thousands of dollars for a concert ticket.
