Chapter 207: Giving Back to the Performance

Cui Ran asked Zhao Zhenghao to give back to rock fans at Yanjing Rock Park, and there was no mention of performance fees.

First, Cui Ran and Zhao Zhenghao are gentlemen's friends, and it is vulgar to talk about money; second, Zhao Zhenghao has never received a commercial performance in the past few years, except for his own concert, and the price of his commercial performance is really not easy to set!

With Zhao Zhenghao's current popularity and status in the music world, the price of commercial performances is naturally the most high-end, and side by side with An Shuyi and Liu Runze, the quotation given by major performance institutions is 8 million!

However, this quotation, in practice, can only be used as a reference and is not the final price.

Like An Shuyi, before the release of the new album in April, the price of commercial performances was generally around 5 million, although there was a gap with the quotation given by the performance agency, but in the country of Longguo, it was already the price that the top singers could get.

Even the veteran king Liu Runze, who has actually received a commercial performance over the years, can only get 5 million, and the media reports on China's 8 million and 10 million are just propaganda methods, and they can't be taken seriously.

However, after the release of the new album, gratifying sales, further increase in popularity, and is expected to impact the Grammy Awards, An Shuyi's commercial performance market price has increased compared with before, and is currently basically stable at about 6 million, and at the Grammy Awards ceremony in February next year, if it can make a breakthrough in mainstream awards, the market price of commercial performances should be able to reach 8 million, or even 10 million!

And Zhao Zhenghao now, if you let go of the mouth of commercial performances, there must be a large number of performers, waving checkbooks and flocking to it, and the price of singing two songs for a commercial performance will not be less than 10 million! If you want to sing three songs, the price will be even higher!

However, this is nothing compared to the income from concerts.

How much Zhao Zhenghao earned in the "Dangerous Journey" world tour is not known to the outside world because it has not been disclosed to the public, but the approximate amount can also be calculated.

With an average ticket price of 1,000 dragon coins and an average audience of 60,000, the ticket revenue of each of Zhao Zhenghao's "Dangerous Journey" world tour will not be less than 60 million!

According to the general account sharing ratio, "Zhenghao Studio" can share 30 million from ticket revenue; according to the general brokerage contract, Zhao Zhenghao can get eighty percent or even ninety percent of the 30 million ticket income!

Coupled with commercial endorsements and the share of peripheral sales, Zhao Zhenghao can earn at least 30 million after a concert!

According to the public concert data, this estimate is quite conservative, and Zhao Zhenghao's real income may be double this estimate!

In other words, Zhao Zhenghao can earn at least 60 million when he holds a concert!

Cui Ran, as one of the two music directors of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, knows more about the inside story, although he doesn't know the specific data, but after the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, Zhao Zhenghao is not short of money, which is ironclad and correct.

Yanjing Rock Park invites guests to perform, and naturally they have to pay for it, although there are many rock bands that are willing to pay or not, just to have a chance to perform on stage.

Although the money given is not very much, if a rock band can perform on the stage of Yanjing Rock Park every once in a while, the basic life can still be guaranteed.

Now, in the vicinity of Yenching Rock Park, there are dozens of rock bands, some of whom have given up lucrative jobs in big-city bars to hone their skills and wait for their chances.

Now, the stage of Yanjing Rock Park has become the most convenient way for those newly established rock bands to become famous, especially the center stage, which can be on the stage once, and it is basically guaranteed to debut!

Cui Ran invited the "Black Moon Band" to come, and the contract amount alone cost 3.5 million, if it can be made, plus the miscellaneous reception expenses, it will take nearly 4 million!

Even if it can attract 50,000 rock fans, based on the current ticket price of Yanjing Rock Park of 60 yuan, in terms of tickets, it can only earn 3 million, with a net loss of 1 million.

The book income of Yanjing Rock Park is good, hundreds of millions a year, but it also spends a lot, just the ten stages in the park, the maintenance cost of a year, there is no 10 million, there is no need to think about it!

Coupled with other miscellaneous expenses, the net profit is not even 10%.

Of course, for ordinary people, the 10% net profit is also tens of millions, which is rich enough!

However, this is not counting Cui Ran's early investment, and the hard work spent on it every year, until now, Cui Ran has not returned to his roots, he works for it all day long, he can't eat or sleep well, and the whole person is aging much faster than before.

However, Cui Ran's purpose in establishing this rock park is not to make money, but to do his part for the development of rock in the Dragon Kingdom.

In this way, Cui Ran is not without money to pay Zhao Zhenghao, but Cui Ran has no intention of doing so, because with his understanding of Zhao Zhenghao, even if he insists on giving it, Zhao Zhenghao will not ask for it!

Cui Ran decided to donate the money in the name of Zhao Zhenghao to set up a foundation to promote the development of Dragon Kingdom Rock and Roll and cultivate more reserve talents for the rise of Dragon Kingdom Rock!

The name is "Zhenghao Rock Fund", he doesn't like to name it after himself, with this foundation, the relationship between Cui Ran and Zhao Zhenghao will be further narrowed, and the relationship between Zhao Zhenghao and Yanjing Rock Park will also be further locked.

Cui Ran did not hide from Zhao Zhenghao, and directly told him about this plan, Zhao Zhenghao raised his hands in agreement, but did not agree to use his own name as the name of the foundation, and suggested changing the name to "Cui Ran Rock Fund".

If you want to talk about the contribution to the development of the rock cause of the Dragon Kingdom, Cui Ran is naturally the second, and no one dares to admit the first!

Moreover, after the establishment of this foundation, Zhao Zhenghao did not have time to mix in specific operational matters, and Cui Ran was still fully responsible, Zhao Zhenghao just took half a day to sing a few songs on the stage, which was naturally not worthy of this glory.

No one can convince anyone, so put this issue aside for the time being, anyway, the establishment of the Foundation will have time after this matter is over.

Two days later, Cui Ran made another phone call and informed Zhao Zhenghao that the specific time for the performance was set for October 24, 2015, which was the frost solar term of the lunar calendar, and it was also a Saturday.

After the "Eleventh Rock Carnival", during the "May Day Rock Carnival" of the second year, it is the off-season of Yanjing Rock Park, the main reason is that the weather is gradually getting colder, and after the snow in winter, Yanjing Rock Park will be closed for rectification for two or three months, until the spring of the second year, and then reopen.

Therefore, even on Saturdays, according to past experience, there will not be many music fans and tourists who will come to Yanjing Rock Park, and most of them are around a few thousand people at the same time in previous years.

However, this performance to give back to the fans is not a special show for Zhao Zhenghao alone, Cui Ran did not give him a performance fee, he has already taken advantage of him, and it is impossible to ask him to perform alone on the stage for two hours and sing more than a dozen songs.

In fact, the original plan was also like this, Cui Ran invited a total of three bands, including the "Black Moon Band", to participate in this feedback performance, and the other two rock bands in Dragon Country, one is the newly rising rookie "No Body" band in the past year, which is nicknamed the "NB" band by fans who like them.

There is also one, which is the "heroic" band that has risen the strongest and most famous in the rock circle of Dragon Kingdom in the past two years!

Originally, Cui Ran's plan was to use the method of darkness to conceal the news that Zhao Zhenghao would appear in advance, so as to surprise the rock fans present.

Although there is no "Black Moon Band", with the popularity of the "Heroic Band" and "No Body" bands, it attracts 30,000 or 40,000 music fans on the weekends of late autumn, and it is not a big problem.

These 30,000 or 40,000 music fans cannot be compared with the audience size of more than 100,000 or 200,000 during the "May Day Rock Carnival" and "11th Rock Carnival", but at this point in time, it is already very good to be able to do this step.

As for saying that these 30,000 or 40,000 music fans are not enough to represent the majority of rock fans, there is no way, no one stopped you from coming, you can't come yourself, who is to blame!

Moreover, in order to expand the impact of this feedback performance, Cui Ran adopted the method of live synchronization, and broadcast the performance live online through Rockpark's own APP, so that fans who could not come could watch it in this way.

However, I don't know what went wrong, and the news that Zhao Zhenghao would appear at this feedback performance was leaked in advance!

For a while, the Internet was overwhelmed by this news that I don't know whether it was true or false for the time being, and topics related to Zhao Zhenghao, Yanjing Rock Park, and feedback performances were instantly pushed to the top of the real-time hot search list of the scarf!

Zhao Zhenghao's last public performance was at the National Taiwan Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the year, and the most recent outdoor public performance revealed to this news dates back to more than two years ago, when Yanjing Rock Park first opened!

During this period, although Zhao Zhenghao held a large-scale "Dangerous Journey" world tour, which greatly satisfied the fans' desire to get close to their idols, it was not a public performance after all, and the price of concert tickets was often hundreds or thousands, which was not something that ordinary people could afford.

And Yanjing Rock Park will give back to rock fans this time, although it will also charge tickets, but the price of tickets, on the basis of the original low price, will have a huge discount, which is almost negligible.

As a result, this performance has become the best opportunity for fans to get close to Zhao Zhenghao recently!

At this moment, not only the rock fans in Beijing who are close to the water, have adjusted their schedules and found time to prepare to go to Yanjing Rock Park on this day to participate in this grand event with Zhao Zhenghao, and even the surrounding fans in Jinmen, Hebei Province, Jin Province, and even Mengzi District, Liaoshen Province, Henan Province, and Lu Province are also moved.

Fans in the latter provinces, although they are far away from Yanjing Rock Park, need to take a long-distance bus or train to come, and it costs a lot of money, but compared with Zhao Zhenghao's expensive ticket price for the show, this travel fee is not too high.

There are even fans who are even farther away, but not short of money, and have decided to come by plane!

Cui Ran knew that the situation was not good as soon as the news was leaked, and now there are still five days left before the originally set time for the feedback performance, if Ren fans go to Yanjing Rock Park during this time, I don't know how many fans will be gathered at the scene!

Cui Ran has a full and sober understanding of Zhao Zhenghao's current influence in the Dragon Song scene, and he conservatively estimates that if the situation continues like this, at least one million fans will gather at Yanjing Rock Park on the day of the performance!

When Yanjing Rock Park was designed, the floor area ratio was expanded as much as possible, but the maximum number of fans that can accommodate at the same time is only 800,000, and when the number of fans entering the park exceeds 500,000, the situation has already entered a state of emergency.

Therefore, although Cui Ran has fully realized the ability of events like the "May Day Rock Carnival" to attract money, he only holds them twice a year, and internally, the number of fans received by the park every day is limited, and the maximum capacity is set at 400,000, and under normal circumstances, there are only about 300,000 music fans who are active in the park at the same time.

It is such a scale of music fans, and it has also caused great pressure for the management of the rock park, and during each event, Cui Ran has to spend a lot of money to increase the security force in the park, and double the number of security guards who maintain order than usual!

At the same time, the local government will also be requested to dispatch professionals to control the traffic around the rock park to ensure that the entry and exit of music fans can be smooth.

He even uses personal connections to ask the garrison stationed near the rock park to always be prepared for unexpected events that may occur in the park at any time, so that after the accident occurs, it can be dealt with as soon as possible.

Cui Ran also added personal accident insurance to the raised ticket price during the rock carnival, which can be regarded as buying an accident insurance for each music fan who buys a ticket to protect the rights and interests of music fans.

If you really let the fans, who are probably more than a million, gather outside the rock park at the same time, it won't just be an accident, it's a disaster in itself!

Cui Ran would never have let this happen!

At the first time, he "refuted the rumors" through his personal scarf, denounced the leaked news for his ill intentions, and solemnly stated that this feedback performance only invited the "heroic" band, and did not specifically invite Zhao Zhenghao to participate!
