Chapter 17: Aaron Kwok fans crowding the streets
For Chen Qiming, everything is good after joining Fulong Brokerage Company, but it is not good at all.
That is, if he performs or attends any event, he needs to bring his own costumes.
Yes, it's such a drama.
According to Liu Ciwei told Chen Qiming, throughout Asia, including Xiangjiang and Treasure Island, the artist's performance costumes are basically provided by the artist.
Of course, if Chen Qiming has no money, the company can also pay to help, but the money will be deducted from Chen Qiming in the end.
But fortunately, Chen Qiming has some money in his hands.
For the songs he created, the company gave him some creation fees, a total of 160,000 yuan.
In addition, He Ping also gave him 100,000 yuan for the script of "Eighteen".
Coupled with the 20,000 he got from shooting motorcycle advertisements (it was originally 50,000, but the company took 30,000), he now has 280,000 Taiwan dollars.
To be honest, 280,000 Taiwan dollars, which is definitely a huge amount of money for Chen Qiming.
He used to sell cassette tapes, and it would cost him a few thousand to more than 10,000 Taiwan dollars a month, 280,000 yuan, which he couldn't even imagine.
It's just that Chen Qiming didn't expect that he would make money quickly and spend money quickly.
Just a set of broken suits for the performance actually cost 60,000 Taiwan dollars, which is simply a money grab.
In the clothing custom shop, after hearing the quotation of the owner of the custom shop, Chen Qiming hurriedly pulled Liu Ciwei's sleeve and pulled him aside, "Ci Viagra, it's too expensive, why don't we buy something cheaper?" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to himself, "Look at my figure, what kind of clothes are handsome on me, why should we spend this unjust money!" ”
Liu Ciwei glanced at him, and he admitted that Chen Qiming was a hanger, and he was very handsome in any clothes.
But he still shook his head, "Amin, what we bought is not ordinary clothes, but grades!"
Do you know the grade? You are an artist now, and your taste in dressing represents your image, although you can make you look handsome by wearing other clothes, but this will make the media and even fans look down on you. ”
"What about the style? Didn't the company let me go in the style of a trendy man? Why do you still let me wear such a serious suit? Chen Qiming asked, pointing to the suit.
Suits and leather shoes, I don't know when they began, have become synonymous with solemnity and solemnity.
Although Chen Qiming doesn't like to wear suits and doesn't wear them, he still knows that suits are solemn clothing.
In general, this kind of clothing will only be worn on more important occasions.
The exception is, of course, white-collar workers.
"The question of style is not what we need to talk about now, the most important thing for you right now is to make a name for yourself.
There will definitely be reporters at tonight's Aaron Kwok concert, your dress is very important, too unusual, it will not be conducive to publicity! Liu Ciwei explained.
All right! Chen Qiming was finally persuaded by Liu Ciwei and obediently paid the money.
Then, at Liu Ciwei's suggestion, he went to the changing room to change into a suit.
"Tsk...... Sure enough, it's a hanger! That's so handsome! ”
Looking at Chen Qiming, who came out of the change of clothes, Liu Ciwei couldn't help but sigh with jealousy.
Not only him, but several female salesmen in the clothing store next to him all had their eyes shining after seeing Chen Qiming.
"So handsome!"
"I really want to pat him!"
There were whispers of a few girls in his ears, and Chen Qiming walked to the mirror to take a look.
Sure enough, he was simply handsome at this time.
The black suit perfectly reflects his body lines, and he suddenly became a slightly stable and cold man with some hip-hop style.
"Your hairstyle needs a change!" After a careful look, Liu Ciwei said.
Chen Qiming nodded, his hair has grown a lot recently, and because he hasn't taken care of it recently, it looks a little messy.
"Wait until the show backstage and let the stylist do it! It's time for us to go, we have to be there early, you haven't been to a live show, you need to rehearse in advance. Liu Ciwei said.
"Good!" Chen Qiming nodded and went back to change his clothes.
The main reason why he changed into a suit was to see if it fits.
And this can be seen from Liu Ciwei's exclamation and the whispers of those little sisters.
There is no doubt that the dress fits well and fits him well.
After getting into the car, Liu Ciwei did not delay and drove straight in the direction of Songshan District.
Aaron Kwok's concert was held at the Chinese Stadium in Taipei.
This is the only stadium in Taipei that has hosted large-scale performances so far.
Whether it is Teresa Teng, a superstar from Treasure Island, or a superstar from Xiangjiang, or even singers from Europe and the United States who come here to hold a concert, they basically choose to hold a concert in this gymnasium.
This is also the venue for Aaron Kwok's two tours on Treasure Island this year.
The car drove for about 20 minutes, and the China Stadium was already vividly visible.
But the scene outside the gymnasium surprised Chen Qiming.
I saw that the road outside the gymnasium was full of tents, and dense young boys and girls were sitting on the side of the road casually, like a group of homeless people.
Next to these people, you can see Aaron Kwok's support posters and signs with his headstickers from time to time.
"These fans are all from other cities on the island, and some of them came here the day before yesterday for tonight's concert."
Liu Ciwei glanced out the window and explained.
"Why are they pitching tents on the side of the road so they can't stay in hotels?" Chen Qiming asked his soul.
"Staying in a hotel?" Liu Ciwei laughed, "Look at their age, most of them are students, how can they have so much money to live in a hotel."
For them, it's nice to have money to buy tickets. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to an open space outside the stadium, "There, there will be at least a few hundred fans who can't afford to buy tickets tonight and will wait there until the concert is over."
For them, it would be a happy thing to listen to it on the periphery. ”
Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but be silent.
He was tempted to say that these fans were stupid.
But thinking of his profession, he couldn't help but keep his mouth shut.
Halfway through, he asked, "Is Aaron Kwok's concert ticket price very expensive?" ”
"It's not expensive, four hundred and fifty Taiwan dollars!" Liu Ciwei said.
Hearing this number, Chen Qiming's eyes widened suddenly, "Four hundred and five? One sold 14,000 tickets, and two shows were 28,000, so doesn't that mean that the company will earn more than NT$12 million for these two concerts? ”
"You think too much, if only the company really made so much money." Liu Ciwei rolled his eyes and said:
"The China Stadium needs to be divided into 30%, and the publicity and various expenses will be removed, and the rest will be divided between the company and Aaron Kwok.
In these two games alone, in fact, the company will not make money, and even lose money.
However, if you add the number of sessions in other regions, the company can still make a lot of money. ”
After a pause, he said: "Aaron Kwok is the same, he has to earn at least tens of millions of Taiwan dollars after dozens of concerts in a round."
So, you have to work hard, as long as you become a big star like Aaron Kwok, it's too easy to make money. ”
