Section 501: Cults
On July 25, outside the Shanghai Grand Stage
The high temperature in this coastal city, which lasted for more than half a month, has not dropped by half a point today, but has become more and more high. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info like a roulette wheel size of the scorching sun hanging in the sky, exuding a scorching light, not to mention looking up at a glance, even if you look straight ahead, you will not be able to open your eyes, you have to wear sunglasses to be comfortable.
Of course, it's not bad to wear a cap, which is what many people on the scene do.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are a few people standing scattered in the open space around the Shanghai Grand Stage. Most of them wore peaked caps, and they exchanged heads and ears under the scorching sun, and from time to time they took out towels draped over their shoulders to wipe their sweat because they were too hot to sweat, but even if the weather was so hot, they still stubbornly stood in the sun and did not want to leave, at most they found a shady place to move over.
As time passed, the power of the scorching sun gradually weakened, and slowly sank westward, and there were more and more people in the open space of the Shanghai Grand Stage. In the evening, the sun was finally less hot, but the air was still muggy, and the speed of the increase in the flow of people in the surrounding open space suddenly accelerated.
If you look down from the sky of Shanghai, you can see that in this area centered on the Shanghai Stage, many people and cars are gathering around the Shanghai Stage.
DKB48's 1st General Election Concert is about to start.
Duane walked through the crowd, slowly, like a leisurely stroll.
"Do you want a ticket?"
"Tickets are available at all price points!"
"The infield 400 has a big fight!" ......
The voices of scalpers come and go sporadically, and it can be seen that these are professional scalpers, and even the territory is clearly divided, and you will never see two scalpers rushing to sell tickets in the same small area.
These scalpers are also people who have been in the concert market for a long time, and they can basically see at a glance which people have tickets and which people want tickets, so no one rushed up to sell tickets to Duane, and occasionally a scalper came up and asked "Want a ticket?", but looking at the eyes, it is obvious that he doesn't really expect to sell tickets, but simply wants to chat with beautiful women because he is bored.
Well, that's right, "beauty", the former Du Mengmeng has reappeared again, so Du Meng can walk in public with peace of mind and not worry about being recognized.
Since there was no experience in the theater, DKB48's first concert was outsourced to an outside team from start to finish, and all Duane needed to do as the general director was to make some general decisions and communicate, such as whether the concert should follow the normal marketing process or follow the money laundering process. When the overall situation of the concert is settled, today, Duane, the general director of the theater, has nothing to do, and the specific matters can be taught to the organizer and the production team to deal with, even if he sits backstage, he is just a mascot, so he simply made a private visit to Weifu, to feel the atmosphere of the scene in person, and to see if the development of the market is the same as what he saw from the top from the role of a fan.
This was the first time that Du An came to the outside of the Shanghai Grand Stage unaccompanied to look for the entrance, and for a while he couldn't find where the ticket gate was, so he stopped walking and turned his head to look around.
"Beauty,"
A voice came from the side, and Duane looked over and saw a chubby man with glasses looking at him.
The man with glasses tried his best to stay calm, but his nervousness couldn't escape the fiery eyes of the big director.
"Who are you pushing?"
The man in glasses smiled, trying to look kind.
Duane said a name without even thinking about it: "Ni Lan." In response to the black words of the man with glasses - the so-called push, probably whose fans mean.
After hearing this name, the face of the chubby glasses man became a little strange, as if he was surprised and a little pity, and after hesitating for two or three seconds, he still handed over a small bag he was carrying, "Give it to you, you can pay attention to our ginger tea ......" His voice became lower and lower the more he went to the back.
Du An, who didn't shirk it, took the pouch and opened it immediately, rummaging through it to see what it was: a few pieces of sugar, two photos of ginger tea, a commemorative ticket with a ginger tea theme, a glow stick, and a very thin book, the cover was also ginger tea.
"Thank you. ”
Duane finally knew why the man with glasses in front of him had become so strange: if the person he wanted to talk to happened to be from the competitor's side, he would probably be embarrassed too. At the same time, this novel gift also let him know that these fans would use this way to attract popularity for the members they support in private, looking at the exquisiteness of these gifts, although they are not expensive, they can see the organization and professionalism of the makers.
It's a bit of a professional gamer, and it's very different from other celebrities who only scream for autographs.
The courage of the chubby glasses man is not enough after all, he can't stick to it in the face of such an embarrassing situation, and he can't find a topic to leave after giving the gift, otherwise he should discuss with Duane who will be the first in the general election for a while?
Duane watched the glasses man leave all the way, and watched him return to the center of a group of people - that group of people were the same as the chubby glasses man, wearing short-sleeved uniform patterns, and there was even a big man more than 1.8 meters holding a flag! Now there is no wind, the flags are hanging down and stacked together, and the pattern on them cannot be seen clearly, and the silhouette of a girl can only be vaguely seen, but you can guess who the person above is without looking at Duane.
This is really organized and professional, uniform uniforms, battle flags, homemade weapons (Amway gifts), these fans can really play.
And if you turn your head and look around, you can see that many of the fans around you are like this, gathered in groups, many of them are wearing uniform uniforms, and relatively few are holding flags.
Duane knew that there was a mysterious organization such as a support club in the private fan group, and almost every member had their own support club, which was where their fans gathered. It's just that the report on paper is pale after all, and when he actually arrives at the scene, Duane knows what kind of fan group the support club is -- I feel that it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a cult organization.
Of course, the most people on the scene are actually loose fans like Duane who wander aimlessly and wear all kinds of clothes.
Probably because he was so beautiful, Duane met several members' support clubs when he was outside to investigate the situation of fans on the scene, and after refusing the accosting of several people and accepting several gifts, today's concert finally started.
