Chapter 238: New Year's Eve Concert

As the New Year approaches, the sales of Chinese New Year records of the stars of Yisheng have risen again. And Polygram Records, EMI Records, etc., saw the joy of hunting, and immediately launched their own Chinese New Year records.

However, because the preparation time was too hasty, there were not so many new songs to include for a while, so most of them were old songs covers, so in terms of quality and sincerity, they were naturally not as good as the masterpieces carefully concocted by Yisheng Records.

In addition to the soaring record sales, the box office of the movie "Drunken Fist" also remained high, and within a month of its release, it had climbed to 4 million Hong Kong dollars, giving the Xu Brothers company a good start.

And the follow-up films are also ready, one is the new work "Deed of Sale" by the Xu brothers, and the other is "The Loser" starring Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying, and Feng Kean.

In addition to movies and New Year records, Xu Guanwu also suggested that Zheng Donghan co-organize the "Stars Welcome Concert" with the TV station, which can be both ticketed and recorded live, and broadcast on Chinese New Year's Eve.

After thinking about it, Zheng Donghan also felt that this plan was very feasible. Who doesn't want to be happy and lively during the New Year? In the past, the older generation liked to listen to Cantonese opera, but now the younger generation likes to listen to pop music. If you join the company's artists to hold a few concerts, you can not only have fun with many fans, but also increase your popularity.

The TV station is also very interested in the cooperation request made by Yisheng Records, who does not know that the singers of Yisheng Records are popular, and if the New Year concert is broadcast on Chinese New Year's Eve, it can definitely attract many viewers to watch.

Therefore, whether it is TVB, Jiayi TV, or Li's TV station, they all want to cooperate with Yisheng Records, and the copyright fee is also rising again and again. It jumped from 200,000 all the way to 1 million. Zuihou was taken down by Jiayi TV.

Jiayi TV has been around since its inception in September last year. The ratings have been sluggish, not to mention competing with TVB, even Li's TV station is better than it.

The reason is that in order to promote education, the British government in Hong Kong specially set up an educational television station, and the program was produced by Radio Television Hong Kong, which made the competitor commercial radio station very panicked. Therefore, He George, chairman of commercial radio, also wants to build his own TV station.

Seeing that its old rivals HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa had opened their own TV stations, they could save a lot of money on publicity, so they also wanted to get involved in the TV field.

He then co-opted three very influential media in Hong Kong, including "Sing Tao Daily", "Overseas Chinese Daily", and "Industrial and Commercial Daily". Together, they formed a team to apply for a TV licence from the British Government of Hong Kong.

The application for a third TV licence is not easy, first of all, vested interests such as HSBC, Hutchison Whampoa, Radio Television Hong Kong, and Lai's Voice do not want to have multiple competitors, so they also put pressure on the British government in Hong Kong.

Under the wrestling of the three parties, He George's side was also forced to make concessions and offered to broadcast educational programs in prime time, so as to avoid a head-on collision with TVB.

Li's TV station has also obtained another English-language TV station to operate the TV station, becoming a TV station that can produce and broadcast both Chinese and English programs.

Jiayi TV has only been approved for a Chinese TV station license, and compared to TVB and Li's TV station, Jiayi TV is like missing a leg.

If there are two channels in China and English, then the production cost of the program will be diluted. Play the English channel once, and you can also get the Chinese channel to play it again.

But if there is only one channel. It can only be broadcast once, and the production cost of the program is equivalent to twice as high as that of other TV stations, resulting in an increase in the operating costs of Jiayi TV Station.

and the broadcast of educational programs during prime time hit the death hole of Jiayi TV. At that time, educational programs were boring and boring, just like distance correspondence courses and television universities, and dry lectures were very boring. In prime time, who doesn't want to watch entertainment programs to relieve boredom, and who will hold a book and do homework on TV at night?

And during the two-hour educational program, no advertisements are allowed to be inserted, which is simply the life of Jiayi TV.

There are four hours a day when the ratings are so bad that even advertisements are not allowed to be broadcast, which makes Jiayi TV station lose a lot of income. Since the opening of the stage for half a year, the shareholders not only do not have any dividends, but also continue to throw money into it, so there are a lot of complaints.

He George spent a lot of money to buy the copyright of "Stars Welcome Concert", and he also wanted to use the popularity of Yisheng's singers to reverse the decline in the ratings of Jiayi TV Station.

……

"Stars Welcome Concert" will be held at the Hong Kong City Hall from the 25th of the lunar month, and five concerts will be held, and the stars will perform on stage, such as Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanying, Xu Xiaofeng, Wen Na Band, Zhang Guorong and so on.

Any of these stars can hold a solo concert if they are pulled out, not to mention that all the groups are on stage. Therefore, the ticket sales of the concert are also very hot, from the twenty-fifth to the twenty-ninth of the year, the five-day tickets, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine chapters, were sold out on the first day of sale, and even the scalper tickets were fried from forty yuan to two hundred yuan, a fourfold increase.

Zheng Donghan saw that the sales were so hot, and couldn't help but suggest that Xu Guanwu open a few more. Because the cost of the stage is fixed, the more shows you play, the more diluted the cost will be, and the higher the profit will naturally be.

Xu Guanwu was worried that these celebrities didn't want to start work during the New Year, but who knew that when they asked, they all felt that it didn't matter. Xu is a young relationship between everyone, and they all want to make a little more money; In addition, it is estimated that they also like to enjoy the feeling of being chased and cheered by everyone, so they are very happy to start the Spring Festival.

Seeing this, Xu Guanwu promised to add a few more games, and Zuihou has been adding ten more games, from the twenty-fifth year of the year, until the ninth day of the new year, the venue is full, not only the company makes a lot of money, but the singers also get a lot of red envelopes.

……

Speaking of the Chinese New Year, in fact, older people are reluctant to celebrate the New Year, not only because of the high cost, but more importantly, because of the upset. Riddled with trivial matters, you can no longer be as unrestrained as a child, especially when you reach the age of getting married and having children, it is the most troublesome!

Xu Guanying and Xu Guanwu are now facing such trouble.

The Xu family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year, because Xu Guanying and Xu Guanjie brothers were going to sing on stage, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was moved from the evening to five o'clock. The sun had just set. The Xu family began to sit in groups.

"Awu. Ah Zhi, eat more Lantern Festival, and raise a big fat grandson for us next year. Mother Xu said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned, and Zhao Yazhi's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Please, eldest brother, sister-in-law, fourth, younger brother and sister are not in a hurry, Ah Zhi and I have only been married for a year. We're not in a hurry either. Xu Guanwu said depressedly.

"Why don't you be in a hurry, eat Lantern Festival, and hold your big fat grandson next year." Mother Xu glared at him and said.

"Ah Wu, if your mother tells you to eat, you will eat." Xu Guanwen also hurriedly said.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat." Xu Guanwu reluctantly smiled and said, "Ah Zhi, you should eat it quickly." ”

Zhao Yazhi also glared at him, and ate the Lantern Festival with a red face.

"A-Ying, what about you. It would be nice to bring me a girlfriend next year. In this way, our family will be lively during the Chinese New Year next year, and you don't have to be alone all the time. The old lady muttered again. When it came to sadness, I choked up.

"Mom, A-Ying is not a child anymore, you let him make his own decisions." Xu Guanwen saw that Xu Guanying was said to be stabbed all over his body, and he couldn't help but hurriedly persuade.

"What I'm saying is that with A-Ying's current conditions, we don't want to look for it, otherwise a lot of women will rush over." Xu Guanwu also persuaded, "A-Ying, you should change your shy temper when you go back and have more contact with girls." ”

"Oh, I see." Xu Guanying nodded and agreed.

"Let's eat quickly, let's go to the New Year concert together." Xu Guanjie greeted.

"I won't go to your concert, it's too messy. Your mother and I went to the Li stage to listen to Ren Bai's Cantonese opera. That's what sounds good. Father Xu didn't give face at all, which made Xu Guanjie speechless.

"It's all good, it's all good, don't fight, eat and eat." The old lady hurriedly explained.

……

After eating, the whole family has their own busyness.

The four Hui brothers all went to the Hong Kong City Hall to watch the concert, while Xu's father and mother went to the Lee stage to watch the big play.

Driving to the Hong Kong City Hall, before seven o'clock, I saw that the audience was already queuing up to enter the venue.

Everyone came to the backstage first, and saw that the staff was busy. Zheng Donghan led a group of people to meticulously inspect the stage to ensure that there would be no mistakes during the performance. This is also his experience in performing for many years, and many times it is just a small mistake that will tarnish the whole concert. So check it before the performance, and calm your own heart and the singer's heart.

"Mr. Xu, Happy New Year!" "Mr. Xu, Wishing you prosperity!" ……

All the staff they met were all smiling and arched.

Of course, Xu Guanwu also said that all of them were 500 yuan of laisee.

Anyway, the concert has been held for fifteen consecutive times, making the company make a lot of money, and there is no reason to treat its employees badly.

Sure enough, everyone received a thick red envelope, and they were all very happy and laughed even happier.

In a moment, everyone in the background knew that Mr. Xu had sent a red envelope, and they all rushed over.

Xu Guanwu does not refuse to come, one for each person, and never falls short, so that everyone can also be happy.

After a long period of excitement, everyone dispersed and continued to work.

Xu Guanwu and others also sat backstage, putting on makeup, resting and resting, preparing to perform on stage.

……

"Hey, Leslie, come, come!" Xu Guanwu was sitting and drinking tea, when Zhang Guorong suddenly passed by the door quickly, and hurriedly beckoned him in.

"Why didn't I see you when I just sent the red envelope, I'll reissue you now." Xu Guanwu smiled and handed over a red envelope and said, "Great auspiciousness is, Wishing you prosperity." ”

"Mr. Xu, you are also making money every day, and the wealth is rolling." Zhang Guorong took the red envelope, secretly cracked a small slit and looked at it, and immediately smiled happily.

"Sit, sit." Xu Guanwu felt happy when he saw Zhang Guorong, especially when he was dressed like a good money boy today, it was so festive to look at.

"How are you feeling lately, are you tired from performing?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"I'm not tired, I feel good." Zhang Guorong waved his hand and said, "It's just that I am not famous yet, and the applause of the audience is not warm enough." ”

"Don't worry, wait for an album to come out, be on the newspaper page, and then on the TV show, as soon as the publicity is in place, people will immediately become popular." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Your appearance is so good, girls will like it when they see it." ”

Zhang Guorong was also a little embarrassed in one sentence.

"Leslie, you don't know Mr. Xu yet, he promised to help you release an album." On the side, Xu Xiaofeng reminded with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Xiexie Xu!" Zhang Guorong reacted and hurriedly thanked him.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Don't thank me, I brought you out to make money, I should be xiexie you." ”

As he was talking, Wen Na Wuhu also ran in, they have been busy making movies, holding concerts, and recording recently, wearing many hats, it is really a continuous rotation.

"Mr. Xu, Sister Xiaofeng, Leslie ......" As soon as they entered the door, the five people greeted each other with a lot of gossip, which made the room a lot more lively.

"Come, sit down! A red envelope per person, Wishing you prosperity. Xu Guanwu was once again the God of Wealth.

Although Wen Na Wuhu's current income is as high as tens of thousands of dollars per month, he is also happy to receive red envelopes, and the lounge is suddenly happy. (To be continued......)
