Chapter 268: Who Pays for the High Ticket Prices in China's Tang Dynasty?
"He's coming, a really high-priced show, the lowest ticket price for China Tang is $400!" -- The New York Times
"Would you like to go? China's Tang Chao New York performance high ticket prices are about to go on sale! - Bild
"The total ticket price of a show is 20 million US dollars, and Chinese star Tang Xiaosheng has landed in the United States strongly!" -- Yomiuri Shimbun
"If he succeeds, he will write history, and if he fails, he will become a joke, and who will pay for the high ticket prices of the Chinese Tang?" - Shijie Shimbun
……
I don't know if other countries have price bureaus, but the United States, a capitalist country, does not have a price bureau.
Therefore, as long as your things are good, your jishu is advanced, and you can stand the cold court, then even if your things are priced at $1 trillion, no one cares whether you are expensive and profitable.
And it is precisely because there is no restriction from the price bureau, so when the next day, the whole United States and even the whole shijie reported that Tang Xiaoshi's tickets were very high, and caused a strong response from many readers, the organizer of the company, the Venigana Company in New York, USA, did not say anything, but still chose to advertise on the major local TV stations and broadcasts in New York.
"He's a fantastic performing artist! He came from ancient China. ”
"He can stun you with brilliant magic tricks, and you can't find a flaw at all!"
"He can also use his mouth to make people imitate the sound of dozens of classical and modern instruments, and you can't tell the real from the fake at all, it's like listening to a masterful instrument."
"He has the dunk level of a slam dunk champion and can even complete a jump dunk from the free throw line. You might call him the Chinese Flyer! ”
"He has real Chinese kung fu. His fists are fierce enough to kill a mad buffalo. Or a black bear! ”
"His mechanical dance is simply not something that humans can imitate, and you can't find where his joints are."
"Who is he? He is the 'King of Video' Chinese Tang! A great talented performer who has taken the world by storm on the Internet, this is his first ticketed show and his first show abroad, if you like him and support him, then don't hesitate! Hurry up and queue up online to buy tickets! We only have more than 19,600 tickets! If you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait a long time for the next one. ”
……
Not only did it run ads on television and radio, but Vinigana paid people to get on the subway, airports, stations, docks, mailboxes, buses, and buildings in New York City...... They were all pasted and advertised one by one.
Small places are only plastered with text ads. Just one meaning, let everyone know that the "king of video" China Tang is coming, and now you have to start buying tickets.
The large-scale ink-painted advertisement was hung on the building with a very large flow of people on the street, on which Tang Xiaoshao's heroic posture in the performance was spray-painted, not to mention, there was a row of large characters: On the evening of October 25, Madison Garden Plaza, Chinese Tang will be with you! ”
It is no exaggeration to say that the propaganda work can be done to this extent, which is already quite powerful, after all, so many plans can be come up in a very short time. This fully demonstrates the rich experience and execution of Vinigana.
But Joseph. Owen still didn't think it was enough, and he didn't choose to give up. Because it's the age of the Internet.
Yes, he will never forget one point, that is, Tang Xiaosa, who is nicknamed 'Chinese Tang' by young Americans, entered American society from the Internet, and then became popular, and he naturally will not forget to vigorously promote it on the Internet.
So, after an order, hundreds of employees of Vinigana Company were all online, and their task was to vigorously promote how wonderful the Chinese Tang performance would be on the Internet, how much they were looking forward to the Chinese Tang performance, and then show a kind of jiashi who must do whatever it takes to get tickets.
That's right, these employees are actually doing the work of the water army, which is the so-called trust, they just want to use their speeches to impress the audience who may be planning to wait and see, and to make the real audience feel that the performance tickets of China Tang are very popular, once you hesitate, you are likely to regret missing it.
After doing all this work, Vinigana can't come up with any plan, because for a performance, they have done everything they can do so far, and the rest can only depend on whether the audience, especially the fans, are willing to spend money to buy tickets to enter the show.
In fact, at this time, there has long been a commotion on the Internet, especially on the social networking site "Facebook", which gathers a large number of young people, and the information about "Chinese Tang's performances and high-priced tickets" is already swiping the screen.
Ridley: "Oh my God! I can only say sorry because I really can't afford this price unless I sell my used car. ”
David: "I'm afraid that the ticket price doesn't match the value of the show, and if it's not worth the ticket price, then I'm definitely going to be ridiculed!" ”
Pete: "I'm excited, China Tang is finally coming, I've saved up $1,000, I should be able to go and see him live!" ”
Maria: "I want to share a room, a VIP ticket can carry 8 people, does anyone want to AA together?" ”
……
Americans are very pragmatic, they don't pay attention to the issue of face, just like cars, if you want to buy a car in China, it must be staring at a new car, even if your jishu is not good, it doesn't matter, anyway, everyone knows that new cars = face.
But Americans are different, most of them buy cars for the convenience of departure, can use a bicycle will not buy a car, can use an old car will not buy a new car, because the new car is expensive, not to mention, the annual maintenance also costs a lot of money, far less than the second-hand car leather is durable, even if it is scratched, there is no need to spend money to repair the paint.
Therefore, when many media in the United States were hyping up Tang Xiao's high-priced tickets, many people on the Internet directly expressed their contempt, and such people accounted for at least half of the speeches.
In the same way, if there is poverty, there must be wealth, although 70% of the messages are saying that they look down on and regret these words, but there are also many people who express their expectations, but they are worried that the performance will not be exciting enough and cannot be worth the ticket price.
It was at this time that Judy, the founder of the Chinese Tang Internet Forum, appeared.
Speaking on her account, she said: "A great artistic performance is priceless, and I have a deep belief that the Chinese Tang will definitely put on a great performance and will definitely not let his first ticketed performance go bad." ”
"I'm sure many of us have seen all of his performances, but you know what? His performances were all improvisational and there was little time to prepare, but it was clear to everyone whether the results were good or not, and it was clear that his performances were perfect. ”
"Since improvisations can be so perfect, do you think he will perform a show with plenty of preparation time?"
"He's a talented performer, whether it's magic, imitation, dance and kung fu, he can show an unprecedented sense of shock, so I want to say to all my friends who are still hesitating: don't miss this opportunity, otherwise you will definitely regret it later, even if you buy the videotape, you will not find that shocking feeling."
As the saying goes, one word from a celebrity is definitely better than 10,000 words from ordinary people.
Judy was not a celebrity before, but after she founded "China Tang", a fan forum that has gathered nearly 150,000 young Americans, she became a celebrity on Facebook, and she is also a famous celebrity in the hearts of many young people.
Therefore, when her speech came out, it immediately caused a lot of responses, and the reasons and explanations she gave were very reasonable, and at this moment, there were many more people who wanted to buy tickets in the reply.
After all, the reason given by Judy is really reasonable! He can even improvise to make everyone so shocked, so cool to watch, then, this kind of prepared large-scale special, then there is definitely no need to worry about not being exciting!
Besides, these people also think that China Tang should not be so stupid, it is impossible for him to be so expensive even though he is not preparing a wonderful show, otherwise, he will wait to be scolded and his reputation will be ruined!
This is a performance that the whole shijie is paying attention to, and it is impossible for anyone to deceive everyone's feelings so boldly!
So, at this moment, many people who have conditions and want to see it have made up their minds to grab tickets after a while, so as not to regret it later.
In these years, no matter what line of work, as long as there are many people developing and competing in the same industry, then a lot of records, history and other data will have the value of existence.
For example, there are N more records in a single performance:
Who keeps the fastest sell-out rate for a show?
Who has the most audience at a show?
Who has the highest total box office in a show?
Who is the performer with the highest decibel count of the audience at a show?
……
There are only records that you can't think of, and there are no records that can't be checked, and that's just the performance.
When the time slowly approached 17:00 when the official start of ticket sales, the website of Ticketmaster, the largest online ticketing company in the United States, had already landed on the website of N people, most of them were fans who were ready to grab tickets, and some were reporters from all over the world, all of whom came to witness how much time it would take for this amazing guy in China Tang to sell out tickets.
What the? Why don't you say journalists are worried about no one buying tickets?
Just kidding, there are at least a few million people in the United States who like Tang Chic, and among these millions of people, there is absolutely no one who is not willing to spend money, right?
Therefore, reporters all know that his tickets must be sold, but I don't know how long it will take to sell out? Or can you sell half of it? (To be continued......)
