Chapter 544: Xu Yinglong's Face (First Update)
Chapter 544: Xu Yinglong's Face (First Update)
After Xu Yinglong and Liu Ge arrived, the remaining guests were only Ziyi and Wang Ying, Ziyi called and said that he would arrive at noon, because he was going to return to Kyoto by military plane with Huang Sicheng and others, and Wang Ying would have to arrive tomorrow at the earliest, because Wang Ying was filming in Xiangjiang during this time, and he could only take time to come over when the matter over there was over.
As for the other performers of Starlight Entertainment, they have already arrived, and the company has nothing to do during this time, so Su Wei drove them to Kyoto early to let them get familiar with the venue as soon as possible, after all, these people are newcomers who have just debuted, and they are very inexperienced on stage, and Su Wei is also worried that they will lose the chain for such a big event.
While chatting, the two planners talked to Xu Yinglong and Liu Ge in detail about their plans. The whole planning plan is directed by Leung Wing-jun, Li Guorong is the deputy director, Su Wei is the director, and the rest of the persons in charge such as sound, lighting, and stage are designated by Leung Yong-jun. Because the concert was too hasty from planning to the final performance, Leung Yongjun only had time to contact a few well-connected sponsors for sponsorship, and the price was not very high, and the highest bid was only 500,000 Huaxia yuan.
On the one hand, because the time is too short, the time for publicity is very limited, and the second is that all the sponsors lack confidence in Xu Yinglong. Mainly considering that he is a newcomer, and the place where he sings is still the Huaxia National Stadium, the possibility of success of this concert is not very large, so everyone is reluctant to pay more sponsorship.
But considering that a concert at Nuoda University does not have a few sponsors, it will be too shabby. So after discussing with Liang Yongjun, Su Wei decided to accept the sponsorship of those companies. Better than nothing!
As for the arrangement of the concert performance, Leung Yongjun and others decided to sing 23 pieces by Xu Yinglong after research. Liu Ge, Wang Ying and Ziyi each have two songs, Li Ziqi and Zhang Jian of Starlight Entertainment Company and other four newcomers each have one each, and then the four newcomers sing another song together, a total of 36 songs, according to the average of 4 minutes per song, it takes two and a half hours to sing all 36 songs, plus the change of costumes during the period and the time interval between the shows, the whole concert will take at least more than three hours.
Over the course of more than three hours, each program had to be carefully arranged. Whoever plays first and who plays last, everyone has to calculate how many minutes they play, otherwise it is likely to delay the end time. There was once a singer who held a concert, but the actual end time was an hour and a half later than the scheduled end time, and many fans missed the train and plane, etc., which caused many people to be dissatisfied.
After listening to the introductions of Liang Yongjun and Li Guorong, Xu Yinglong nodded, the whole plan was arranged in great detail, and it could be seen that they had put in a lot of effort. It's just that Xu Yinglong is very dissatisfied with which sponsors. It's not that low and outrageous sponsorship fee, it's mainly that those companies are some kind of bullshit, some are housekeeping companies, and some are factories that raise chickens and ducks. There is also a company that produces toilets, and a good concert was forced down by these companies by n notches.
Although Su Wei and the others also had a certain amount of truth in their considerations, Xu Yinglong was still very uncomfortable in his heart. I couldn't hold back or couldn't hold back, and opened my mouth to ask, "Mr. Liang." Have we signed a contract with those sponsors? ”
Liang Yongjun is also a human spirit, although Xu Yinglong has not yet expressed any opinions. But he still guessed what Xu Yinglong meant, frowned and said: "Xu Shao, Mr. Su and I are not very satisfied with these sponsors, but it is really not good if there is no business sponsorship for the concert." Not to mention the matter of money or not, when Mr. Wang called at that time, he said that we are not holding concerts for money, and we are not short of money. But the problem is that if there are no sponsors, it will be a sign that the singer is not favored by the outside world, so "
Although Liang Yongjun didn't finish speaking, his consciousness Xu Yinglong had already understood. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of face, according to Liang Yongjun's meaning, although these sponsors are not very good, they do not meet the requirements. But now there are no other sponsors except them, for the sake of his Xu Yinglong's face, and for this concert to have a good omen, he hopes that Xu Yinglong will accept the sponsorship of those sponsors!
If other singers encounter this kind of embarrassment, they may pinch their noses and admit it, after all, as Leung Yongjun said, talking is better than nothing, and without sponsor sponsorship, this face is indeed a bit unbearable.
But who is Xu Yinglong, does he care about this false name? How could he Xu Yinglong's first solo concert be downgraded because of millions of sponsorship fees, it's really a joke.
Immediately, Xu Yinglong shook his head and said: "I just want to know if this contract has been signed now, if not, then let those sponsors get out of here, see what kind of companies these are, it's too bad!" ”
"The contract has not been signed yet, mainly because Mr. Su is not very satisfied with these sponsors, but if we turn these people away, we may not be able to find a suitable business, the main reason is that the time is too rushed, if the concert can be postponed to next month, we can completely ignore the sponsorship of 500,000 yuan." Liang Yongjun said.
"It is impossible to postpone the time of the concert, and these sponsors must also be postponed. As for the sponsors, I'll take care of it myself, and I'll be satisfied with you! Xu Yinglong replied.
"Xu Shao, there are only five days left before the concert starts, can you really find a suitable sponsor?" Liang Yongjun asked suspiciously.
"Since I said it, then I will definitely be able to, don't worry!" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
Xu Yinglong does have this self-confidence, because he is not only a star, but also the legal representative of several large companies. In addition, the only heir of the Tianhai Ji Group is still his wife, and it is not a piece of cake for him to pull a sponsorship, it is not a matter at all.
After chatting for a while, Xu Yinglong took a look at the front. Liang Yongjun said so much, but he and Liu Ge had just arrived here, and they didn't know much about the venue, so they still didn't know much about the whole plan.
The group walked out of the reception room and went straight to the front desk.
The Huaxia National Stadium is a huge indoor stadium with a competition venue in the middle and stands all around, with a total of 98,000 seats, including the staff and performers in the stadium, it can accommodate about 100,000 people.
When I came to the front desk, the stage had been set up, and I saw a steel frame stage with a height of five meters and an area of more than 500 square meters standing on the green field in the middle of the gymnasium, and at the same time, eight glass passages with a width of ten meters and a length of more than 100 meters led to the audience like silk. It can be seen that Liang Yongjun and others have put a lot of effort into this stage, and Xu Yinglong is very satisfied with the exterior scene and interior setting.
When Xu Yinglong and others came over, a young man in his thirties was debugging the equipment, and when he saw their group coming, the young man hurriedly stopped what he was doing and walked over.
"Xiao Wang, how is the equipment debugging, you have hardware facilities here, once something goes wrong, it is very strict!" Liang Yongjun asked.
The young man known as Xiao Wang hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, Liang Tou'er, all the equipment is OK!" ”
After speaking, the young man couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's still the government's yamen's great business, it's all good things!" ”
Seeing that Xu Yinglong didn't seem to understand what Xiao Wang was talking about, Liang Yongjun explained with a smile: "The equipment for this concert is provided by the gymnasium management office, and all of them are the most advanced equipment in the world today, which is much more advanced than what we prepared before!" ”
Whether a concert is of high quality and high level is of course inseparable from the strength of the star singer and the state of performance at that time, but it is also inseparable from a series of equipment. A set of advanced equipment can completely present the singer's most realistic level in front of the audience, on the contrary, a set of equipment of average quality will affect the singer's performance. Therefore, every concert organizer pays special attention to the on-site equipment, and some large-scale galas or variety shows will even customize new advanced equipment to ensure the quality of the program.
At first, everyone thought that Xu Yinglong would also spend a lot of money to buy new equipment this time, after all, such a big event does need a batch of advanced equipment, but they didn't expect that the National Sports Center Management Center would provide advanced equipment for free.
Hearing this, Liu Ge couldn't help but ask: "I have long heard that the National Stadium Management Center has a set of top-notch equipment, which seems to have only been used during the Olympic Games, could it be that you rented out that set of equipment?" ”
"Hehe, it's indeed the legendary set of equipment, but it's not rented, but they lent it to us for free!" Liang Yongjun said with a smile.
"What, how is this possible, the last time I held a solo concert here, the company negotiated with the people in the gymnasium management center for a long time, and they didn't agree, how could they lend it to you for free, is it because the venue cost is very high?" Liu Geren asked in surprise.
"It's not very expensive, it's 200,000 cheaper than your last venue fee. This is not the reason for the venue fee, but the problem of Xu Shao's face. When I heard that Xu Shao was going to hold a concert in Kyoto, the staff of the National Sports Center took the initiative to contact us, and the conditions given were very favorable, and the free equipment was one of them! Liang Yongjun said.
After going through so many things, Xu Yinglong's identity is no secret. Not only the celebrities in the entertainment industry know it, but even ordinary people know it, and even Xu Yinglong talked about his life experience on the show. So when Liang Yongjun mentioned Xu Yinglong's identity, everyone, including Liu Ge, was quickly relieved.
General Xu's grandson wants to rent a venue, who would dare to open his mouth, based on the unspoken rules of Chinese officialdom, it is reasonable for the leaders of those management centers to send relevant equipment. (To be continued......) R1292
