Chapter 144 Concert (Part 1)...
The promotion for this concert was fairly average compared to the previous concerts promoted by Will Company. A large part of the promotional effect came from Meng Fanxi and his team making sure to mention it while traveling for work.
This concert tour mainly involves six major cities in China, which was the safest choice after the company's preliminary evaluation. Even with only six cities, it is already the most dazzling achievement among the debuted groups.
The first city to open pre-sales was Beijing. Everyone was busy with their own schedules when the sale started, until Wei also went "crazy" in the group chat, and they didn't remember that today was the pre-sale day.
Wei also sent a dozen or twenty emojis in the group, all expressing surprise and astonishment. Meng Fanxi wanted to block him as soon as she opened her phone.
Fancy: ? What happened? My brother's phone got taken by a kid to play with!
Xu Zuoyou: ?
Gu Huailang: ?
Seeing that everyone in the group had been swayed by his antics, Wei stopped keeping everyone in suspense.
Xiao Wei: [Image][Image] Sold out in seconds!!!
Meng Fanxi clicked on the pictures, which were screenshots of tickets being sold out at various price points for the concert, as well as screenshots of fans trending on social media because they couldn't buy tickets.
When he clicked on the trending topics, he saw not only fans lamenting that they hadn't managed to snag tickets and that their typing speed couldn't keep up with the ticket sales, but also many passersby who were surprised by the ticket prices.
[I can't get my hands on any of these, absolutely no one's willing to sell them to me!!]
I knew it would be intense, but I didn't expect it to be this intense. It sold out in seconds! Who knew they were a group that had only debuted less than a year ago?
[It's over. This round was this intense already, I can't even imagine what will happen next.]
Is this at the Beijing Stadium? Why are the highest-priced tickets so low?
[I feel this concert pricing is more reasonable; other celebrities should learn from it.]
[Fun fact: VIER was involved in the entire behind-the-scenes process of this concert, even in matters like pricing]
[How could that be? Newcomers to the industry have no say in these matters; it's probably just gossip made up on forums.]
Some people believe that VIER was involved behind the scenes, but many people are skeptical. Meng Fanxi didn't care too much. As long as the price came down, their plan was progressing step by step according to schedule.
As for the complaints from other companies in the industry about Vier Company disrupting market prices due to the price reduction, these have nothing to do with VIER. They pushed everything onto Vier Company to deal with. However, Vier Company has a complex internal structure, and they did not offer much explanation. After all, the tour prices of their other groups besides VIER remained the same, so they chose not to respond.
The sold-out concert tickets are just the beginning. This means they need to bring even better content to repay the fans who have been waiting for them. Instead of celebrating in advance, they are even more dedicated to the preparation of the concert.
During this period, the works starring Gu Huailang, Lin Ruohe, and Ren Yuchen were also broadcast one after another. Each of them received full support from their teammates when the show aired. Fans were moved by the friendship between them. The atmosphere in the fan circle was so harmonious that it was unbelievable. Even official media reported on the news, using it as a positive example to guide the unhealthy trend that exists in most fan circles.
This gave Meng Fanxi confidence. He thought less and less about the ending of VIER in his previous life. He didn't think that they would face any problems that forced them to disband. Even the fan wars, one of the biggest problems in his previous life, were nothing now.
Their only goal is to continue on this path for a long time.
The concert's theme is the same as their debut hit song, titled "A Tree's Galaxy".
VIER's "A Tree's Galaxy" concert attracted a lot of attention when tickets went on sale, and the rehearsals before the concert attracted countless entertainment media who wanted to find out more. In particular, industry insiders on forums kept revealing that a lot of effort had been put into the stage design.
Wei Ye rejected them all without exception. Want to see it live? Then buy a ticket.
Can't get a ticket? Then try again next time.
Wei Ye put a lot of effort into keeping the entire concert process and stage design a secret, creating an atmosphere of maximum mystery. Fans embarked on their journey to the concert with great anticipation.
Meng Fanxi sat in the dressing room backstage of the concert. This concert was a large-scale event, involving not only Wei Ye's team but also most of the staff from Will Company to participate in various aspects of the concert.
There was a small incident before the concert started.
The staff prepared individual dressing rooms for each member of the group according to the usual standards of Will Company. Of course, there were also group dressing rooms. When Meng Fanxi and the others arrived at the concert backstage, they were stunned to see that there were rooms labeled with their own names.
I learned that this was a tradition that had existed in all the groups under Will Company in the past. Although most of the groups under Will Company were able to develop in the long term, their relationship with each other was mainly that of colleagues. Especially after they had their own individual schedules, they began to develop their own networks. When holding concerts, they basically needed a private dressing room to maintain a certain distance from the outside world.
The company had taken this into account in advance and prepared individual rooms for them.
The general reaction from Meng Fanxi and his group was that it was unnecessary.
Each person moved their belongings from their individual lounges to the group room. The staff at Will Company didn't say anything on the surface, but they were quite surprised in private. They hadn't realized that the two had such a good relationship. They hadn't had much contact with each other before and thought it was an exaggeration.
As Meng Fanxi made his final preparations before going on stage, he carefully felt the atmosphere of the moment.
The surroundings were extremely noisy, as if the clamor of voices from the stadium had traveled over the walls. Staff members hurried back and forth as the equipment underwent final adjustments.
This is similar to the process of each performance and the final of "Team Up", but it is also different.
They are the only protagonists here, they control the stage, and the audience is here for them.
Every debuting group has a dream: to hold their own concert, and they are in the process of realizing that dream.
Meng Fanxi's gaze swept over his teammates through the mirror. Lin Ruohe was warming up, Zhang Yang was singing, Ren Yuchen was quietly having the makeup artist do his makeup, Xu You was staring at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought, and Gu Huailang was reviewing lyrics in his lyric book.
Finally, his gaze returned to himself. He looked at himself in the mirror. He was naturally fair-skinned, so the makeup artist didn't apply too much foundation. She simply did some basic touch-ups and then added a touch of glitter to the corners of his eyes, matching the concert theme.
His outfit today was dazzling, sparkling, and gorgeous, but most importantly, it was the brightness and determination in his eyes. On the day of his rebirth, he watched Month's concert, and the jealousy he felt then had now transformed into a sense of peace. He didn't need to envy anyone, because he already had the best.
Before going on stage, Lin Ruohe led everyone in cheering each other on, and everyone huddled together, just like at every important moment.
"To deliver the best to our fans, and to cherish our best stage."
"rush!!"
Yin Zhu is a concert testing blogger who runs his social media business by testing whether various concerts are worthwhile.
His account is mainly divided into three parts: music festival reviews, solo singer concert reviews, and group concert reviews.
As a member of a currently popular group that became an instant hit upon debut, VIER had long been on his evaluation list. However, he was skeptical that VIER was able to hold a concert after only releasing one album.
It's important to know that to support a two- to three-hour concert, you need at least the content of two albums.
However, he still held more expectations. After all, although he hadn't watched "The Coming One" before, he was one of the passersby who clicked on the trending topic of the finale to watch it. The group's live broadcast with all microphones on was truly amazing to him at the time.
Based on his experience, among the three categories he evaluates, the quality of group concerts is the most inconsistent, even more difficult to evaluate than music festivals. Many singing and dancing groups claim to be singing and dancing, but their concerts are only half-live with shockingly loud backing tracks. Well Company's quality is relatively better.
So even though he knew the tickets would be hard to get, he still paid extra to find a channel to help him snag one, and managed to get one with great difficulty.
When he takes reviews, he always starts with the order outside the concert and the atmosphere of the fans. VIER fans are known for their unity and friendship, and you can feel it directly at the scene. There is no tense atmosphere between fans of other groups. Anyone can pick up a small merchandise. It doesn't matter if you are a group fan or a solo fan. Even Gu Huailang's solo fans can pick up Meng Fanxi's merchandise.
Even a self-proclaimed "passerby fan" like him can get fan-made merchandise without having to endure the various interrogations he encountered outside other groups' concerts.
Before the concert, VIER appealed to everyone on various platforms not to bring light sticks or other support items. Sure enough, not many fans were seen bringing them at the venue. It is known that this kind of group is most prone to individual fans sneaking in light sticks in their own support color in order to show off their strength. Yin Zhu has personally witnessed many fans who have fought against the concert security in various ways to hide their light sticks.
After walking around the perimeter of the concert venue, Yin Zhu felt refreshed. Without the messy arguments among the fans, he felt an unprecedented sense of peace. He was also touched by the genuine joy on the faces of each fan and was truly looking forward to the live performance.
Although light sticks were not allowed inside, many fans painted decorations on their faces or made their own support stickers, headbands, etc., and brought them in; most of them were group fans.
The process of entering the venue went smoothly. Yin Zhu heard that the stage design was specially prepared this time, so in order to see the entire setup clearly, he chose the highest-class seat in the stands.
Upon entering the venue, I immediately felt a completely different atmosphere.
He had been to the Beijing Stadium many times. It was a must-visit place for celebrities to hold concerts. He bought a spot with an excellent view of the entire venue. When he saw the stage, he was deeply impressed.
A giant tree trunk stretched out in all directions, visually shortening the distance between the stands and the stage. It was not yet dark, but this giant stage had already brought an immense shock to the audience who entered.
Almost everyone was taking pictures of the stage. Not only the stage, but also the huge screen behind it was clearly very expensive. It was an extremely large and wide extended screen, so you could imagine that even people in the stands could easily see everything happening on stage.
