Linda had a straight face: "Don't be kidding! If there is no one at that time, losing face is a trivial matter, and affecting the publicity will make the company bankrupt! ”

"Hehe, when Megan told you that I have a lot of energy, did I forget to say more, I have always done what I say!"

"Yes, Edward is a great man, and he doesn't promise easily." Megan threw a wink at him and openly supported him.

"OK" Several other directors agreed.

"The next question is, where is this big event going on, and is the venue the most important, the theater or the park? And what to do? ”

Edward was questioned by Linda just now, but his brain was activated.

Somehow, he thought of Hansen and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse under his command, as well as the dense tents on the New Haven Lawn, and the green smoke that drifted everywhere, and the sound of wheezing.

"emmmmm" Edward raised his eyebrows, "Gentlemen, I have a great fortune to share with you." ”

Naturally, no one understands this.

"Well, how about we just have a music festival? There is no need for big names to join, those fledgling small bands, small singers, it shouldn't cost a lot of money to invite them to perform, we can find a ranch or an abandoned factory near New York, set up a stage, and then, let everyone H Okay! ”

"Is this going to work?" Megan was confused.

"There's nothing that can't be done, the premise is that you have to bring all the singers of the band and set up the stage, as for the audience, I probably just said that there is no problem, rest assured that you won't be asked for a penny! I swear! But if the festival is successful, I'll have to get some dividends, because it's not easy to find someone. ”

"Don't look for people from nursing homes or orphanages!" Linda sarcastically

"Hehe, the audience I invited, they will be crazy beyond your imagination!" Edward was in high spirits

Although it was only 1968, the market was very mature, especially in a metropolis like New York, where goods and services could be easily bought as long as there was money in hand.

Running a music festival is a big deal, but it can be solved by breaking down the projects and outsourcing them separately.

The five partners of Six Sisters Records, oh, six now, each in charge.

Edward was responsible for getting at least 2,000 guaranteed spectators.

In Meghan's opinion, this is not easy to do, of course it is simple to ask for people, but it costs money, and to be honest, it is very unjust to spend money to invite people to participate in music festivals, others hold music festivals to make money, if you put money in it, then how will you mix in the circle in the future?

As for why there is a guaranteed audience?

The reason is also simple, after all, the preparation time is insufficient, and it is impossible to fully publicize the warm-up, if you start to prepare at the beginning of the year, it is a piece of cake to get a daily passenger flow of tens of thousands of people.

But now that preparations have only been going on for more than two weeks from the start of preparations to the official performance on August 15, why can't it be postponed? Because the middle of August is the most suitable time, and then autumn is coming, the climate is complex and changeable, not as good as midsummer, and Solomon will not be generous enough to give Edward too much time to prepare.

You can only hurry and hurry.

The publicity time is so short, the popularity cannot be opened, and many people who want to come may not be able to get the news in time or cannot arrange the time.

With 2,000 people, it's much easier, 2,000 people can't be compared with tens of thousands, but it can barely be scaled, and these people can also become volunteer propagandists, human-to-human transmission is a good thing, as long as it's not a virus.

……

In the Playboy Club, Edward and Hansen and his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse drink and talk about each other.

These five people are not what they used to be, although they are still cold when they are on the lawn, and they dare to pull them into their tents of all colors, weights and genders.

But on another occasion, Edward helped each of them apply for club membership, spending more than a thousand dollars.

It's not a small amount, and it's worth it.

When he saw the five people showing off their key-shaped membership cards to each other, he sneered in his heart: "Tsk, buying a student movement organizer is really a very happy and fulfilling thing."

There is no need to even make too many promises and deceptions, as long as there is money, these guys will come over on their own.

Maybe the followers on the lawn don't know what these guys look ridiculous like in the club, right?

Hey, if there is a portable camera or something these days, and you can take a picture quietly, you can threaten them to be obedient in the future.

Science and technology are indeed the primary productive forces.

It's inconvenient to not take a candid shot, and the traditional art of simple immortal jumping can only be used when tearing the face, and it seems a bit unauthentic to have such a hand in a harmonious relationship with everyone.

Forget it, let these guys live first, most young people have no resistance to the extravagant and corrupt depraved life, and will even fall deeper and deeper, as long as these guys are used to running to the club and Ferry Lice, they can't escape from Lao Tzu's palm.

"So, you're just asking us to find someone to go to the festival?" Hansen was a little incredulous, wasn't this pie-in-the-sky?

Poor students are already fond of being lively, and when they hear this kind of news, they don't need to be invited, and they can touch it by smelling it.

As for what it tastes like? Hormones, of course!

Edward also gave them a large sum of money to fund the event, which was a pie in the sky.

"Well, my friend's company is going to do a music festival, which is quite large, but it's a bit rushed, mainly to promote their new single, so it needs a basic audience to cushion the scene."

"OK no problem, it's on us, how many people do you want? I can pull you out an army group! ”

"At least 2000, the more the better, in addition, it is to promote more for me, and be careful not to bring 'medicine' in"

"We're on us!" Hansen patted his chest, and he could hear the second half of the sentence and suddenly "this ......"

"It can't be!" Carl Wright, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, explained: "We can guarantee that we don't bring medicine into it, but after all, there are so many people that we can't search one by one, and when it comes to having fun, bringing medicine is the choice of most people......"

"Uh......" Edward fell silent.

"We'll pay attention, we won't make a big mess."

"Well, I'm really not good at this, so I'll leave it to you......" Edward resigned.

Professional things should be left to professional people, and since Hansen said that he would not make a big mess, then believe them.

At least the big lawn in New Haven is smoky all day long, but the order is still in order, isn't it? Except for the empty wine bottles, tissues, and TTs littered all over the floor, there is nothing out of the ordinary, and the purchase of zero yuan has never happened.

……

As if to compensate for his disgrace in the previous trial, good news kept coming.

Preparations for the festival went well.

What excites him the most is that this time there are really big names!

Super big names!

At first, none of the board members thought about finding a big name, and even thought that it would be a great victory to invite a second-rate person to stand on the field.

Big names have great appeal and good advertising effects, but they ask for a lot of money and the schedule is tight, which is really not something that a small company like Six Sisters Records can do in a hurry.

Besides, the music festival is mainly everyone's H, on and off the stage together, with the blessing of beer and big M, the role of the people on the stage is actually not much, mainly to play an advertising effect, which can attract more people to participate.

Edward wanted to invite the Beatles or Elvis Presley to show his face or something, after all, he could see these legendary ancients after a trip, and it was not in vain, but when he saw the offer, he immediately dispelled his thoughts.

At the meeting on this day, Meghan happily announced that there would be superstars on the first day of the festival!

"Bob Dylan!" When she said her name, the room fell silent.

Everyone gasped.

Nima ......

This is a well-known big man in the current folk music industry, and his influence has long been out of the circle, and his songs are full of criticism of political ugliness and social injustice, and he has become an idol in the minds of leftist young people.

Even better, he was born in folk songs, but he didn't reject rock and roll, and in this era, the degree of opposition between the plug-in and unplugged factions was comparable to that of Edward's fans of the King of Understanding and the King of Sleep in his previous life.

The plug-in dislikes the old-fashioned that is not plugged in, and the latter thinks the former is crazy.

Bob Di played all the way from acoustic guitar to electric guitar, which attracted a lot of criticism in the folk music world, but he had a reputation in the rock community.

And he has a good image, although he is angry, but there is nothing else bad about it.

As for drugs......

Damn! It's all rock stars!

If you don't take drugs, it's like a rich man who doesn't have a private jet, which will make people doubt his worth and position.

"How much did you spend?" Linda asked, "We're not going to pay for you to please your liver." ”

"Beware of liver ?!!" Edward's brow furrowed, feeling like he was talking about himself?

Wait a minute?!

Lao Tzu is obviously talented and promising, and in your eyes, the co-author seems to be a little white face who sells his hue in exchange for resources, or a duck?

Phew!

Wait?!

If that's the case, it doesn't seem bad, as long as I say, Meghan, I don't want to work harder, I can get what I want, isn't this day better than running back and forth now?

Finally, he had the self-knowledge to understand that this was also a dream.

"Aha! Don't even pay a penny for appearances! Of course, first-class airfare and five-star hotel suites are not included. "Meghan has a smile on her face.

“？！！！” Linda's face was full of disbelief

"!" Edward's forehead jumped.

Nima, Megan, don't climb into Bob Dylan's bed.

In these years, which woman can sleep Bob Dylan is also a skill and glory, and it belongs to the one who can show off to her grandchildren when she is old.

If Meghan shows all this appearance and agitation, it is natural for Bob Dylan to be defeated.

Damn, why do you think your head is a little heavy?

Or did the big pop star give me a hat for my buddy?

Or am I sending it to him?

Or are we going to be brothers-in-law?

Unconsciously, there was a sour taste in his heart.

"Hey, after all, it's not from this era, I still can't look at this thing," he laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Thanks to Ed!" Megan's eyebrows fluttered.

"Me?!"

"Aha, Bob Dylan is here with his old concubine! No, old partner, the first beauty of folk songs, Joan Betsy. ”

Meghan continued gushingly, "I had a little relationship with Joan Beizi's agent, and I wanted her to make an appearance at the time, but considering that the offer was too expensive, I wanted to start from something else, so I flew to see her with a sample of "Bohemian Rhapsody", and it happened that Bob Dylan was also there, and after I released it, Bob asked for the cover rights. ”

"Aha!" Linda and Samantha learn her oral fetish.

"Huh" I don't know why, Edward felt relieved, "This girl is a good speculator, and she gives full play to Lao Tzu's usefulness." However, this is not a bad deal, and the advertisement of 'Special Guest Bob Dylan' can bring at least 10,000 people in a single day! ”

Although it can't be compared with the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in a single day at a large music festival, it is quite good.

After all, it was the first time to do it, and the preparation time was only three weeks, which can be called a miracle in the history of the music festival.

"Tsk, now I finally feel a little bit of a protagonist!"

Now Edward is relaxed, and he can't intervene in the affairs of the music festival, that is, he stares at Sheldon and sings about them, and then goes to the office to work out a response strategy with everyone.
