Chapter 1636: Dragon Fight
72_72291 Hugo was slightly surprised, firstly because he still didn't know much about the American touring market, and secondly, because Michael Jackson had an unattainable height in his heart, and "Historical Journey" was the most successful tour in the history of music. Therefore, AEG Group offered a signing fee of 10 million US dollars for the "historical journey", which became Hugo's measure, and now, the value of glory to death even exceeds Michael, Hugo is inevitably a little surprised.
But after all, Hugo is now experienced and well-informed. There are many reasons why the signing fee for "Historical Journey" is only 10 million.
The most important reason is that Michael only got into prostitution a year ago. The new album has achieved good results, but it is not as good as its peak, and this tour took two years, and there were too many uncertainties, so in the end, AEG Group and Michael reached a cooperation of only 10 million US dollars - this is also a new record for the current signing of a single tour.
Now that the glory to death is in a different position, the power of the battle of the century is enough to make people deeply feel the majesty of the band's tug-of-art, everyone knows that this band is rewriting the history of rock and roll, and the history of music is being rewritten, and the storm that this tour can cause may also change history. Looking at the craze in various countries after the announcement of the tour, you can speculate.
Not to mention glory to death with Hugo. Although within the band, within the young volcano, everyone sees the band as a whole; But for touring companies, Hugo is an individual, and the opportunities for one of today's hottest superstars are endless, and the glory of Independence Day is a constant reminder of that.
Therefore, AEG Group and On-site Country have shown their housekeeping skills.
Hugo has seen the proposals of two top companies, and to be precise, they should have their own merits. AEG Group not only signed a contract with Jinchuang Zào History, but also their venue reserves are unbeatable, they can provide the top stage for Glory to Death, from the perspective of the preparatory plan, there are a large number of 100,000 venues, obviously have absolute confidence in the appeal of Glory to Death.
The on-site country has also mobilized almost all its own resources, not only the venues have tried their best, but also formulated a detailed tour plan, including the logistics mobilization and preparation, which shows their professional advantages to the fullest.
"What does it mean when the live country says combined with album promotion? I don't think it's mentioned in detail in the plan. After a brief moment of surprise, Hugo took his attention back and took the initiative to ask a question.
Henry was not surprised by Hugo's question at all, and glanced at Joseph, as if to say: Look, I knew Hugo would definitely ask about this, and then Henry adjusted his sitting posture and straightened his back slightly, "They don't have a clear plan at the moment, I talked to them, they mean that if you choose to work with the live country, they are willing to talk to the band members in detail." They thought this tour could be combined with your third album to create an outdoor studio audio-visual extravaganza. ”
Although Henry knew that the scene was professional enough, he was still quite surprised, the inside story of the current Glory to Death series three is completely secret, but the action of recording across the highway in the first half of Glory to Death was not hidden, and if you have the heart to inquire, it is not a secret. The on-site state heard the news and formulated a corresponding plan based on this idea.
I have to say that the live kingdom is bound to win the glorious to death tour project.
Sure enough, the scene accurately captured Hugo's psychology, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said curiously, "I didn't think about this." ”
"They're actually going to combine this tour with your third album, let's say the first phase is 'Young Volcano,' which opens with this single and then starts with 'kill. your。 Heroes)' as a finale, and then the second stage is 'Wonderwall', which opens with 'Wonderwall', 'Don't'. look。 ba。 The third stage is 'Beautiful. day)’…… That's kind of it, but that's just their idea, they want to combine it with the tracks of the third album, for example, with a new single from the third album or as an encore track, and then pair it with the singles from the previous two albums, and work out a theme for each stage, and then tie the whole tour together, like ......"
"It's like the journey of our music." Hugo took Henry's words and said directly, which made Henry pause, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's like a musical journey from glory to death." ”
It's a great deal that Live Country was able to develop a tour plan to such a detailed stage. It can be seen that they not only made careful arrangements for this tour, but also conducted in-depth research on the band's performances, albums, and music.
The live kingdom's plan directly hits the essence of glory to death, and a tour plan is created close to him, so that Hugo almost has no reason to refuse.
Hugo's face showed surprise, but the thin layer of joy sticking out of his eyes couldn't hide it, but he still didn't make a decision immediately, but continued to ask, "In the AEG Group's plan, I saw several large venues, and they also said that they planned to make Madison Garden Square into a 100,000-person stadium, is there no problem with the attendance?" ”
Henry knew that Hugo was actually very satisfied with the live country, but he still asked about AEG's situation out of politeness, which made Henry smile on his face, "You have been in this circle for a long time, and you have begun to learn to slip your head." Hugo chuckled and didn't mind at all, but Henry explained, "Yes, the title of AEG Group's project is the most mobilized concert tour in history. ”
It's a huge project!
"They're going to have a tour at the biggest venues in each country, and the other cities will be screened according to the situation – of course, they're also going to choose the biggest venues in the city, and they're going to get as many people as they can, with the ultimate goal of holding more than 70 concerts in 50 cities and mobilizing 3.5 million spectators."
Hugo's eyes widened in surprise at Henry's words, which meant that the average concert had to mobilize more than 50,000 people!
To put it simply, there are not 50 stadiums in the world that can accommodate 50,000 people, which shows the difficulty of this goal, which is comparable to climbing to the sky. It's no wonder AEG Group came up with a plan to tear down all the seats in Madison Square Square and make it a standing concert venue with a capacity of 100,000 people. In other words, AEG Group is planning to let Glory to Death hold concerts in venues where 100,000 or even 200,000 people will hold this tour vigorously.
Concert attendance is a sensitive issue, and throughout the history of music, there are only a handful of top superstars who have been able to hold concerts in a 100,000-person venue – with attendance rates of more than 80 percent. To take a number as a comparison, the number of singers with the strength of a 5,000-person venue concert is 5,000, then the number of singers who can hold a concert in a 10,000-person venue is 500, and the number of singers who have the ability to hold a concert in a 50,000-person venue is less than 100. 100,000 people concert? That's just a small range of twenty people -- or even less than ten.
Maybe this number is not necessarily accurate, but it is true, 100,000 concerts and 10,000 concerts are two complete levels, even Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé and other top singers, at their peak, they all chose to hold concerts in 50,000 venues - most venues will choose 20,000 or 10,000 people.
100,000 people, not just a number, even if the audience is full, the singer's aura, stage control, and live performance must also meet the requirements, and more importantly, the on-site appeal, if you want to shock the audience, it is definitely not as simple as it seems.
AEG Group is really a big gamble, and its confidence in glory to death has broken through the sky.
"Wow." This is the only reaction that Hugo can make, and it is no wonder that even though the plan of the live kingdom fully fits the style and characteristics of Glory to Death, Henry and EMI Records still have no way to make a direct decision, because the AEG Group's project is also an option that cannot be refused.
Not only is AEG Group's plan very grandiose, but also the performance of 100,000 people is also a huge challenge for glory to death, standing on such a huge stage to perform is the ultimate dream for any rock band, and the boiling of the scene is fundamentally different levels. That's one of the big reasons why rock festivals are so fascinating every year: many of them attract hundreds of thousands of rock lovers.
So, Henry, they gave the problem back to Glory to death. After all, for EMI Records, what they have gained from touring is a small profit, and it is more due to the additional income brought by the tour, so they naturally don't mind being a favor.
Hugo let out a long breath and raised an eyebrow, "It's a sweet annoyance, isn't it?" ”
Henry shrugged, "It's also a choice that can't be wrong, no matter who you choose, it's the right one." So, don't have too many scruples, just choose according to your own ideas. ”
"That's what makes the choice difficult." Hugo's words made Henry laugh dumbly, and Hugo glanced at Joseph, but Joseph only shrugged his shoulders, "I don't mind anyway." Instead, it was a reminder to Hugo that he knew better than anyone what this tour meant to Glory to Death, and that it was not only the first step in spreading the rock 'n' roll faith in Honor to Death, but also an important step in breaking out of the recent predicament of being surrounded by fan frenzy to the point where it was impossible to move an inch.
So, maybe the venue is not the most important, but the spirit of glory to death is the most important, and it always is. Hugo closed his eyes directly, "The Scene Country." ”。
