Chapter 91 Coming to her concert
Cube acted quickly; as soon as the news broke, Lyra_official's official account simultaneously released a promotional video for the light stick.
Open the video, and a sudden light shines in the darkness. Blue-purple nebulae slowly rotate in the Milky Way, and the light sticks rush in like shooting stars, twinkling among the vast stars and emitting a dazzling silver-white light.
Han Yunxing's support color is silver-white. The entire stick is made of matte silver-white metal, and the top is a transparent planet. As it shakes, the six-pointed star inside rotates freely, refracting fine silver light.
The six-pointed star contains an internal magnet and is surrounded by a silver halo. A delicate, small blue companion star floats in its orbit. No matter how the six-pointed star rotates, one of its points always aligns with the companion star.
The names of the support lights were initially varied, but after a fan vote, the star light stood out, a name that included Han Yunxing and "star".
However, more important than naming the support lights is scrambling for tickets to the Asian Tour.
I don't know whether to say that Cube is reliable or not.
The publicity was swift, but the schedule was disastrous.
The company released the schedule for the Asian tour, which runs from the beginning of October to the end of the year, covering multiple countries including China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia, with nearly 20 shows. On average, there are 1-3 shows per week, a frighteningly high density that makes it hard not to suspect that Cube is going to leave after this tour.
What's even more crucial is that the stars immediately grasped the key point: why are almost all the venues Cube booked in stadiums!
As we all know, concert venues can be broadly divided into indoor stadiums and outdoor stadiums. Each type of stadium has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Indoor stadiums have good acoustics and the audience is close to the stage, but their capacity is limited; while outdoor stadiums have unstable acoustics due to weather and venue conditions, the atmosphere is more explosive, and generally, they can accommodate at least twice as many audience members.
That's the key point!
Cube, have you ever considered how difficult it is to get tickets?!
The executives at Cube also regretted it, as "Half and Half" hadn't been released yet when they booked the venue.
By the time the sales report was released, all the large stadiums had been booked, and it was too late to change venues.
As a result, the closer it got to the time to grab tickets, the louder the cries of despair became in the comments section of the official website posts.
—This woman is willing to be haunted by Han Yunxing for the rest of her life in exchange for attending his concert every time. Tickets, please! Tickets, please!
—I'm destined to have Yunxing's votes!
—Who's going to manage our Hong Kong and Macau shows? The album sales of China Star have surged by 40% this time. Damn it, a cow barked its head in.
—Yunxing, my daughter and I have been set up. Cube, please open a stadium with confidence next time, okay? Don't give the next person a chance to cheat you.
—Friends, I'm so nervous, see you at the internet cafe tomorrow.
—I'll always be watching your Seoul concert, I absolutely have to go!!!
......
—Is that right? I counted down the seconds to get in, and they told me there were 90,000 people ahead of me.
—Oh hahaha, unusually cold [booking rate 100%]
—Oh no, it's all concrete! Where's my lucky ticket?!
—With a pot lid on my head) I'm proud to be the top female salesperson, but Cube Entertainment won't allow me to add extra shows for her! No way!
In Seoul, all 25,000 tickets for the two shows, each with a capacity of 10,000, were sold out in less than three minutes.
The stars looked around in bewilderment, not only unable to compete with scalpers' machines in terms of speed, but also having to compete with casual fans, drama fans, and all sorts of people just there for the fun. Even music fans who usually lurk and don't like doing data analysis were quite active in this ticket-grabbing event.
Those with tickets were overjoyed, while those without...
Those without tickets could only watch Han Yunxing's cheering tutorial video.
Let's look at it again! Opportunity favors the prepared mind.
Bring on some good luck, and I'm sure I'll succeed in getting tickets next time.

Han Yunxing gathered her freshly dried long hair, bent down and picked up Iye, who had been occupying her seat. The two of them sank into the soft sofa, letting out a relaxed sigh.
As soon as Iye was pulled into Han Yunxing's arms, it quickly nuzzled its head against her. Han Yunxing kindly scratched its chin, and Iye instantly turned into a cat pancake. Its tail drooped down Han Yunxing's knee and hooked around her calf.
Han Yunxing gave iye a rare kiss on the head, then turned her gaze to Shen Lina, who was writing and drawing on the side.
Even with her head down, Shen Lina seemed to have eyes on the top of her head, catching Han Yunxing's gaze.
Her pen paused for a moment: "Have the guests been confirmed?"
Han Yunxing said confidently, "Stars should only look at me."
This means there are no resident guests.
Shen Lina had a premonition about her choice, nodded upon hearing this, and continued with her work.
Speaking of this topic, Han Yunxing also had a headache for a while.
During this period, in order to prepare for the upcoming high-intensity tour, she became a regular at the gym.
Besides exercising and practicing singing and dancing, she also personally handles stage design.
Originally, she should have rested for a while after the event period ended, but Han Yunxing didn't rest at all and worked non-stop for the upcoming concert.
When Han Daoen first saw her, he exclaimed in surprise that his sister's face had become noticeably smaller.
However, in reality, Han Yunxing was exceptionally energetic. She was both curious and excited about everything at the concert, and she continued to push forward with the stage setup throughout the entire event. It's worth noting that even Shen Lina found it somewhat tiring during this period.
Of course, there are things that can be frustrating, like the selection of guest performers we just discussed.
Han Yunxing's team has discussed this matter several times.
On one hand, it was the company's consideration that they wanted the new group in the company to be able to show their faces on stage. Han Yunxing didn't think much about it and decided on GIDLE. However, later, a staff member came over to negotiate, and the company's idea was that the best candidate would be a new batch of trainees who were about to debut.
On the other hand, Han Yunxing has a very good reputation in the industry. After the news of her tour came out, many people sent messages to support her. Han Yunxing specially reserved some tickets. After giving away the tickets, everyone naturally talked about the guest performers.
Actually, if Han Yunxing were interested, she would have many potential guest performers for her concerts.
However, Han Yunxing has always been firm in her beliefs on certain matters of principle at work.
She doesn't care about the company's interests; she only cares about the concert's success when deciding whether to invite collaborators.
The theme of this concert is "Sailing," marking a new starting point in Han Yunxing and the stars' journey. From the past to the present, they are making a pact for the next adventure.
Han Yunxing wanted the entire performance to be a time exclusively for her and her fans, and she did not plan to have any guest performers.
As Cube's cash cow and golden goose, Han Yunxing's explanation still carried weight with the company; after all, they didn't just pack the trainees together and force them in.

On October 12, Han Yoon-sung's first Asian tour, Sailing, kicked off with its first concert at the KSPO Dome in Songpa, Seoul.
At the center of the stage hung a gleaming silver starship, its surface reflecting shimmering light under the spotlight. Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and like waves crashing on the sea, rings of starlight illuminated the stage from afar, gradually transforming the entire space into a gleaming silver galaxy.
Buzz—
The horn sounded, the star lights flashed rapidly, and the ship in the center of the stage burst into dazzling light. The platform slowly rose, and Han Yunxing walked out from the beam of light.
The advantage of the small venue was perfectly demonstrated at this moment, as even those in the last row of the stands could clearly see Han Yunxing's appearance on the big screen.
Her long, slightly wavy red hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the starfish hair clip tucked into her hair shimmered under the light.
Han Yunxing held a palm-sized white conch shell in her hand and listened intently.
As if she had caught some signal, she turned around and put the conch shell into the groove of the ship's wheel. With a click, the edges fit together perfectly, and the intro to "Luminous" came from the speakers.
Han Yunxing raised the microphone and shouted, "We are—"
"luminous!!!" The entire venue erupted in a musical frenzy.
Han Yunxing went all out, and just like the song title, she was the most dazzling presence in the entire venue, with everyone's eyes fixed on the girl dancing in the light.
Beneath her slender frame lies a powerful explosive force and control; her dance moves are expansive and sweeping, yet she lands with the lightness of a feather.
As the climax of the chorus approached, Han Yunxing slid forward:
"Run towards the distance, no longer chasing the daylight."
You'll always know where I am.
Because I am like a star, shining brightly.
I got the stars and the moon
i am always gonna be luminous"
At the end of "luminous", Han Yoon-sung jumps onto the star boat next to him, and the stage lights suddenly brighten.
Upon seeing Han Yunxing's jumping motion, the stars gasped in shock, then frantically waved their light sticks as the lights changed, chanting Han Yunxing's name in unison.
Han Yunxing suddenly peeked out from the big screen, her exquisite features filling the entire screen. Her shout paused for a moment, then burst into an even louder scream.
Han Yunxing pointed to her headset, indicating that she hadn't heard the cheers clearly.
"Han Yunxing—"
The sharp female voice clearly traveled from the mountaintop to the entire venue, and Han Yunxing couldn't help but laugh out loud, her cheeks adorned with small dimples.
Seeing Han Yunxing laughing heartily, the crowd cheered even louder, calling out Han Yunxing's name.
If someone shouts from the audience, the person on stage, holding their microphone, will respond in a low voice, "Star!"
The stars were so happy they almost fainted when Han Yunxing called their names with such affection.
"Come with me, Star—"
Han Yunxing mimicked the fans' actions from before, laughing and drawing out her shouts, which were met with screams from the audience.
"Inside!!!"
The setlist for this concert consists mostly of songs from the first four albums, which Han Yunxing rearranged to ensure a high-quality stage performance.
Performing nearly ten songs in a row, Han Yunxing's dance moves remained fluid and powerful, and her singing voice was incredibly stable.
During the talk segment, Han Yunxing went offstage to change clothes. The large screens on both sides of the stage lit up, and Yunqi pointed to herself on the screen with surprise to the teammate next to her. She stood up, let her hands hang down, and danced the cute puppet dance from "Yipee!". Then, with a smile in her eyes, she made a heart shape with her hands towards the camera.
Han Yoon-sung's friends and family were gathered in the front rows of several sections of the stands. The camera moved around, showing the faces of Cube Entertainment members, actors from Sky Castle, and members of Begin Again, before finally landing on a man wearing a black baseball cap.

One more chapter, but I can't finish writing it before bed. I'll post it around midnight tomorrow.
