Two days later, Shen Sihan's body recovered, and the dark energy realm was completely consolidated.

That night, the confident Shen Sihan had a fight with Ye Zi again, but he didn't expect that this time he was still defeated, so angry that he rolled his eyes and scolded Ye Zi for his bianbian attitude.

How good is Ye Zi's skill, he finally learned a few points. For the small company in which he has a stake, he is now more concerned.

Ye Zi asked Shen Sihan to help him find a friend in charge of the bank loan in Shencheng, but Lao Shen didn't ask what was the matter at all, and immediately agreed.

――――――――――

Two days before and after Christmas, Ye Zi fell into the busiest performance since rebirth.

I don't know when Shencheng has also become popular with Western Christmas. Every year in late December, almost all shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues will launch a huge event in the name of Christmas. Among them, the participation of the catering and entertainment industries in the Christmas carnival is far higher than people think.

Since the late 80s, hotels, guesthouses, dance halls, nightclubs and other leisure and entertainment venues have launched a variety of activities with different names, such as "Christmas dinner, Christmas party, Christmas entertainment" and so on. Actors are usually invited to help out at these events, and there are also measures such as fashion models walking the runway, lucky draws, jumping, etc., to attract guests and get them to obediently take money out of their pockets.

Fashion models are easy to find, it's really not okay to just find a few people to practice for a week or two, and you can go on stage to make up the numbers, lottery and jumping, it's easier, just spend money to prepare. Only actors, actors of all types, become a scarce item at this time of year around Christmas.

Ye Zi is a pop singer, and he belongs to the most scarce type of actor in the annual Christmas activities, and these months are the time when Ye Zi was born in the Shencheng music scene.

It should be said that Qian Liren is a very qualified broker with a keen forward-looking vision.

When he was still performing at the end of last month, he and Ye Zi finalized various matters for the Christmas performance. Although after that, Ye Zi's popularity in Shencheng soared like a rocket, and the performance fee of 5,000 yuan per performance finalized at that time was completely unsuitable for Ye Zi's current appearance price, Qian Liren was still able to determine three performances with him at the lowest appearance fee of Ye Zi in this Christmas performance: 8,000 yuan per performance.

In any case, this price Qian Liren has earned.

A week before Christmas, the price of inviting Ye Zi to the show had soared to a high price of 15,000 yuan per performance. Even if the cost of Christmas performances has always been on the high side, such a price has far exceeded Ye Zi's normal performance quotation.

However, don't think that the organizers are making money at a loss, this is completely unlikely.

Just after Ye Zi promised Zhang Lei's metropolis to participate in the Christmas Eve performance at a "preferential price" of 12,000 yuan, according to Zhang Lei's statement on the phone, the metropolis immediately increased the ticket price on Christmas Eve from the originally determined 138 yuan to 198 yuan in the name of "Ye Zi, a new star in the Shencheng music scene".

The Met is usually able to accommodate 500 people, but on Christmas Eve, it will definitely add 300 people, so that there will be about 800 guests. Each person is charged an extra 60 yuan, which is nearly 50,000 yuan in ticket revenue.

Losing money and making money? Joke!

The Mets are not too greedy to double the increase in tickets. After all, this is a professional entertainment venue that is open every day, and the loyalty of guests to the venue is more important, so that it can stand tall in the days to come. With their usual ticket price of 98 yuan, the tickets for Christmas Eve and Christmas are only 198 yuan and 138 yuan (Ye Zi does not participate in the next day's performance), which is already the conscience of the industry.

However, other places such as restaurants and guesthouses that do not usually have performance arrangements have no such concerns at all, and these two days are a good opportunity for them to make a lot of money.

Just like Shencheng Hotel, one of the most famous hotels in Shencheng, after confirming the information that Ye Zi and another local star joined, the original price of 388 yuan for a Christmas dinner and Christmas carnival night skyrocketed to 988 yuan for a person. And it is said that the price is so high that when reservations were made three days before Christmas, all reservations were made in just two hours.

Among them, the fame of Shencheng Hotel certainly plays the biggest role. But it is absolutely undeniable that Ye Zi and other stars invited by Shencheng Hotel, such as Yue Opera famous Xiaosheng Zhou Zhigang and others, are the confidence of Shencheng Hotel to dare to double the price of the night.

Regarding this model of Christmas carnival + inviting actors to join in Shencheng, which has been popular in Shencheng since the late eighties, Ye Zi was deeply puzzled in his previous life.

Judging from the late 80s and early 90s, the wage level in Shanghai remained at a very low level. How can the citizens of Shencheng, who have a monthly income of about 200 yuan (the average number of several years), be able to afford the ticket price of hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of yuan as soon as Christmas arrives?

Ye Zi couldn't find an answer to this question by himself.

Maybe there are too many rich people in Shencheng? From the kind of Christmas event he would participate in every year in his previous life, he almost never saw that the scene of any Christmas event would be undercrowded, but it was all full.

Of course, this makes the merchants who hold the event make a lot of money, and it is inevitable that it will continue to be held in the coming year.

Ye Zi remembered that it was only around the turn of the century that such Christmas carnivals gradually lost their market.

And the answer, so far he has not found. Perhaps only after careful research and analysis can sociologists find the answer hidden in the historical context.

The large number of invited performances, and the price of the performances are quite good, led to the emergence of a special phenomenon, that is, the performance of Shencheng actors during the Christmas period on those two days because of the shortage of supply.

There are many criteria for measuring the success of an actor and whether he is a first-line actor. For local actors in Shencheng, how many performances have they received in the past two days of Christmas? How much does each show cost? This is also one of the criteria to measure whether they are first-line actors in Shencheng.

From this point of view, Ye Zi, who has received 21 performances in the two days of Christmas with an average price of 11,000 yuan, has naturally become a first-line actor in the Shencheng area. In terms of singers, Ye Zi can be sure that the price of Christmas performances exceeds his own, and only Sister Mao Min Maomao, who has become famous all over the country.

The current Ye Zi has a considerable gap with Sister Mao Mao in terms of popularity.

Thinking of Sister Maomao, Ye Zi remembered the tax incident that everyone knew about in her previous life. For this Christmas performance, he is also very careful about tax matters. So when discussing with the organizers, sometimes Ye Zi would rather earn a little less, and he must also be paid by the other party for him and get a tax payment certificate.

This is also the reason why Ye Zi's performance fee has not risen too high, and the average is only about 11,000 yuan.

The lessons of Sister Mao Mao in the previous life, it is impossible for Ye Zi not to remember them deeply. If it weren't for the fact that she had planted such a big heel in paying taxes, with Sister Maomao's singing talent and debut qualifications, she would not have lost to those rising stars!

――――――――――

Twenty-one performances in two days may seem like a lot, but it's not. In his previous life, Ye Zi ran thirteen performances in one day, from more than five o'clock in the evening to two o'clock in the middle of the night.

This is a normal situation for Shencheng actors, which shows that this actor still has a very good performance market. Otherwise, if there are very few performance invitations at such a time, the actor's status in the Shencheng circle must be negligible.

It's perfectly normal to run a few more races, after all, it's only two days a year. And these two days of performances are enough for a month or two of performances in normal times, and the performance fee can be doubled at most, who cares? If you don't seize the time to run a few more fields in these two days to make more money, do you have to wait until you usually run again? It's impossible to have so many fields that you need to run back and forth.

So when it comes to Christmas, the actors will take on as many performances as possible, filling all the time from evening to early morning. If there is a morning performance, the actors will be happy and laughing, but of course, Christmas carnivals are not usually scheduled in the morning.

Once a year opportunity, how can you let it go!

From a few days before Christmas, the actors will recharge their energy, and even push off one or two performances to ensure that the dozen or twenty performances on the two days of Christmas can be sustained.

Of course, Ye Zi will not have physical worries, but before Christmas, he has also restrained a lot, and rarely sings for a long time outside of evening practice.

There are more than 20 performances in two days, and there are more than 40 songs in each of the two songs, and at least 20 songs must be sung every day, which will not be less than one concert.

It is absolutely necessary to prepare in advance for all aspects of the body and mind.

――――――――――

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, there is always a special situation that occurs at night, and that is that it is extremely difficult to get a taxi on the street.

The reason is closely related to the actors' Christmas performances.

Shencheng is a large metropolis that is far away from south to north and east to west. Therefore, the actors will first choose before they accept a performance, and try to bring the performance venue together in a small area as much as possible.

But this is not always possible. Some gigs have high bids, but the location is a little farther away, so how do you choose?

Actors are a very smart group of people.

Compared with the performance fee of at least a few thousand yuan a night, the cost of chartering a taxi for half a day is no more than 500 yuan, and such a price will make it possible for them to run two or three more venues, in which case, the little car money paid will have already been recovered and more than enough.

Anyone will make such a choice.

Therefore, on Christmas Eve and Christmas, the taxis in Shencheng were contracted by hundreds of actors who needed to run. At night, it's only natural that taxis are hard to come by.

In Shencheng at that time, there were only a few thousand taxis in total, and after being chartered by the actors, where could there be so many taxis on the street!

This situation will not be alleviated until a few years later, when the taxi industry is reshuffled and the number of taxis skyrockets.

Of course, Ye Zi had already booked the car of an old driver of Shencheng Taxi Company, and negotiated the price of 500 yuan for half a day. (This was the market price at the time, based on the hourly revenue of taxis, which the author had been using for cars from '91 to '97.) ）

The driver will rush to Sun Yun's villa at four o'clock in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, pick up Ye Zi and set off from there to start this running show all over the east, west, north and south of Shencheng.
