When he persuaded his uncle to relax, Lin Zhicheng was still a little uncertain in his heart.

Although I saw netizens complaining about Liu Zaishi and others in the post bar of "Infinite Challenge" a long time ago, even domestic third-rate artists can't compare.

However, Liu Jae-seok and others are funny artists, but Sunny is an idol singer, although the two are both artists, they are still a little different when subdivided.

Lin Zhicheng is not 100% sure, and he is sure that Sunny's remuneration is also as 'cheap' as comedy artists such as Yoo Jae-seok.

Fortunately, the fear didn't last long.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhicheng took out his computer and connected to the Internet, first jumped over the wall and flipped into the domestic network, inquired about the commercial performance quotation of Girls' Generation, and then he directly contacted his old acquaintance Luo Yingshi and got further information from him.

It was only half an hour before and after, and Lin Zhicheng completely figured out how much budget it would take to invite Girls' Generation to participate in the event, and completely left the last bit of worry behind.

"Let me do the math, 60 million won, converted into dollars...... Hmm? It's only 55,000 US dollars, I'll go, how can it be so cheap?" took out his mobile phone, called up the exchange rate conversion app, stretched out his finger and clicked it a few times, and then, Lin Zhicheng was shocked by the numbers displayed on the screen.

It's not even 100,000 dollars? You know, this is the price for all members of Girls' Generation to appear together.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and Lin Zhicheng unconsciously confirmed it again. To be on the safe side, he even found the phone number of S.m's company, called the liaison office in charge of the commercial performance business, and asked for the commercial performance quotation of Girls' Generation.

After inquiry, Lin Zhicheng understood what was wrong.

The so-called commercial performance offer is just a remuneration, which does not include the cost of carriage and horses, food and accommodation.

For example, if Girls' Generation is invited to Los Angeles for a performance, a round-trip business class ticket for one person will cost about 5 million won. If it is first class, the price will be even higher, almost about 7.5 million.

There are a total of nine people in Girls' Generation, and the round-trip ticket money alone will cost 45 million.

In addition, there are agents, assistants, and backup dancers who participate in the show together, and you can't forget it.

Even if these people are arranged in economy class, because of the large number of people, the calculated carriage and horse fares will probably not be less than the nine people from Girls' Generation.

A rough calculation shows that the round-trip travel expenses of the performance team alone will cost about 100 million won.

"I see. After figuring out the twists and turns in this, Lin Zhicheng showed an expression of sudden realization on his face.

When Luo Yingshi and his party were invited to shoot before, it was another mode of cooperation. At that time, Lin Zhicheng and the Nalan Islands only paid a 'sponsorship fee' or 'advertising fee', and then they didn't ask about everything and threw all the trivial matters to Luo Yingshi to deal with by himself.

Because of the previous experience, Lin Zhicheng subconsciously thought that inviting Girls' Generation was the same routine - as long as he paid the acting fee, he could do the same thing as when he invited Luo Yingshi and his shooting team.

"The performance fee is calculated according to 60 million won, plus the cost of carriage and horses, food and lodging~, well...... , if you count 100 million won, that's 160 million won. Pick up the pen and write and draw in the small notebook, Lin Zhicheng muttered while calculating again.

Suddenly, thinking of my aunt's wishes, I thought she definitely didn't want to see Sunny turn around and leave after the show. also thought that the New Year's celebration might not be just one day, and that it might take Girls' Generation to stay on the island for a while longer, so Lin Zhicheng crossed out the 60 million on the notebook, tripled the number, and rewrote the words 200 million won.

"200 million plus 100 million, 300 million, rub, won or something, it's really troublesome....... The number was too big, so Lin Zhicheng couldn't help but want to complain. It wasn't until he converted this number into dollars that his expression became bright again: "Twenty-seven hundred thousand dollars? ”

Although there is not much liquidity at hand - a few days ago, Carter and others came to report on the progress of the work, saying that the negotiations with the consortium in Las Vegas, the United States, are going well, and at the latest, by March or April next year, all the details should be discussed and the cooperation should be formally reached. Considering that he could not let all the benefits be taken by outsiders, and in order to avoid being stuck by outsiders, Lin Zhicheng also prepared some funds and prepared to make a round of investment when the 'Casino Plan' began to be implemented.

However, even if it is necessary to reserve funds for construction investment, it will not make Lin Zhicheng completely destitute.

Holding a celebration is only tens of millions of dollars at most, and Lin Zhicheng still took out this money.

What's more, there will be a new income soon—according to the law, the tax filing time in the United States is April 15 every year, and if there are special circumstances, you can also apply for a six-month extension. While the island's regulations aren't exactly the same as those in the U.S., the tax side isn't much different. That is to say, it is now the end of the year, and all the taxes have been collected, and when the liquidation is over, not only will the government have an extra amount of money in its hands, but Lin Zhicheng, as the owner of the island, will also receive a share of income in his private account.

The part that fell into Lin Zhicheng's personal pocket is only about 10% of the total tax revenue, which does not seem to be a lot if you only look at this ratio. However, if you convert it into a specific number, hehe, almost twenty or thirty million dollars, which is really not a small amount.

As has traditionally been, the money does not have to be fed back to the island's residents to provide them with benefits.

But considering that this is his first year as the owner of the island, he must leave a good impression on the residents of the island and make them identify with him, so Lin Zhicheng made a decision early in the morning, planning to take out his part of the tax revenue and feed it back to the residents of the island.

I didn't think of a way before, but now, the money can be used for New Year's celebrations.

That is to say, even if you don't use your own small coffers, the money that will be distributed soon alone is sufficient.

has money in his hand, and he is not panicked, he is talking about Lin Zhicheng at this time.

After reading the commercial performance offer of Girls' Generation, he did not stop, but pondered other candidates again.

It's not a special performance for Girls' Generation, since it's going to be a celebration, it's necessary to invite more guests to make the scene as lively as possible.

Besides, inviting Girls' Generation is just Lin Zhicheng's own selfishness. From the standpoint of the islanders, they may not be interested in girls' generation, so in order to meet the wishes of the residents, it is natural to invite the artists of the Celestial Empire or European and American stars that they are more familiar with.

Keep rummaging through the information.

felt that the performance fees of European and American artists would be relatively high, and he was worried that he would not have enough money to invite European and American stars after determining the quota of Chinese artists first, so Lin Zhicheng first investigated the commercial performance offers of European and American stars.

There is not a lot of information on the Internet, but a few more comprehensive reports are almost enough. After some evaluation, Lin Zhicheng probably deduced some data.

The most valuable commercial actors should be Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and others, who are worth about one million dollars. Further down, the candidates for the second tier include Adele, LadyGAGA and others, who are worth about $750,000.

"Bieber forget it. Lin Zhicheng has never liked talented and virtuous people, so he first excluded Bieber, who has the reputation of a bad boy: "Boss Jia is good, although it is a little more expensive~." And Adele, her songs are also very good, quite suitable for celebrations, well~~, it's better to have another band, let me see ....... ”

While inquiring about the information, he wrote down the list of artists he liked in a small notebook, and after a while, Lin Zhicheng circled a few invitees.

Among them are solo singers such as Justin Timberlake and Adele, as well as bands that are perfect for the celebration atmosphere, such as Maroon5 and Black Eyed Peas.

"There is a mess of costs for building a venue, even if it is 10 million. The budget of 20 million, hiss~~, there are still 5 million left?" After a little calculation, Lin Zhicheng found that there was still a quarter of the budget left, and this figure was the result of deliberately overestimating the venue fee and miscellaneous expenses.

Suddenly, Lin Zhicheng had a strange feeling of 'it is so cost-effective', and unconsciously, the idea of continuing to 'buy, buy, buy' came to his mind.

"It's better to have another group of Korean artists, so that Sunny doesn't feel lonely. Like buying Chinese cabbage in the market, Lin Zhicheng looked up the list of Korean artists again, and after a while, he made a choice: "CNblue is good, or Twice, well, and EXID seems to be pretty good." Forget it, these people are quite cheap anyway, so let's count them all for the time being. ”

"By the way, there are RB's, I'll take a look, um~~~, huh? Suddenly a new idea popped up, Lin Zhicheng turned his attention to the RB entertainment industry again, and it didn't take much time for him to select several groups of alternative artists.

In the end, it was finally time to select the artists of the Celestial Empire, and after connecting to the domestic website, Lin Zhicheng started the last round of searching.

Originally, he was quite happy, but it didn't take long for Lin Zhicheng's face to change with an indignant expression: "I'm rubbing, what the hell is this, I don't have much ability, and the price is so high? ”
